Would you be happy to give a bunch of pre-school children some weapons of mass destruction and "let them launch and see what happens"? I admit that we can't be sure what would happen, but personally I can't see how the outcome could possibly be good. Assuming they have to exist at all, weapons of mass destruction are better off in the hands of responsible state actors, rather than a group of people who have absolutely no idea of what they're playing with let alone developed enough emotional maturity for dealing with the consequences of using them.
The 787 and 737max represent two different things.

The 787 is an advanced and innovative plane. It blazes the way in terms of seat-mile cost, comfort, fuel consimptoon, etc.

The 737max is a half-baked response to the re-engined a320 and also the somewhat smaller planes like the a220 and e195-2 that beat the 737 in cost per mile and noise as well as being more comfortable. (Think of the Japanese cars that were small on the outside and big on the inside compared to 1970s American cars)

The 737max tried to innovate as little as possible, and that is where it got into trouble.

I think Boeing still thinks that it can get the FAA to avoid a simulator training requirement but they won't and by trying they will delay the recertification at the expense of airlines, shareholders, etc.
That's definitely part of it, but I think (and I also remember) that a part of it is that children have a well-developed sense of personal space and who they are close enough to for different types of contact, from a pretty young age, but their sense of closeness is (quite reasonably) derived from actual (remembered) contact rather than from having a genetic relationship or contact before they can remember.

The truth is that the past doesn't matter. If the current warm up is aggravated [0] by human activity, and pretty much everyone agrees it is, we should do something about it. Saying "it was warmer/colder before" makes it sound as it is a non issue. And tbh even if, and that's a big "if", pollution isn't directly linked to climate change everything reducing the air/water/food poising we're inflicting to ourselves is good.

It is easy to dismiss what Cisco demonstrated like this, but if you listen to the talk, they argue that having more tools available gives you more room to optimize for quality per bit per cycle, in the same way that having more choices allows you to optimize better for just quality per bit (or any other objective, really). So it's not just a matter of turning things off, but of making good choices.

It is also not just beating AVC. They claim that it is higher quality than their own HEVC work, which they invested in heavily before it become clear that the licensing situation was not going to just "work itself out". They once told us that even they were surprised how many of the HEVC tools you could wind up using for real time, if you used them judiciously (basically: all of them).

I have worked with some of the team responsible for this project before, and we collaborated with them on some AV1 tools (most notably the CDEF loop filter, but also entropy coding and a few other things). They know their stuff, and really do seem to be leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else on the RTC side of things.

I imagine that, in these experiments where the subject is offered a choice, one must take care that the experimenter does not subconsciously signal the 'smart' option, such as by the counter-party in a bartering exchange being unaware of the problem that the subject is being tested with, and by avoiding having decoy objects that are more similar to each other than they are to the tool.
>The fact that the co-pilot in question kept holding the stick to the back stops was the main reason that the aircraft wallowed into the sea. Weirdly, he did let go of the stick for a brief few seconds, which was the only time during the harrowing descent that the aircraft started to behave normally, but then he pulled it back and held it back right up until impact.

The Algorithmic Method for Translating MS408 (Voynich)
Indeed some stuff is missing... Poisson distributions model independently random events that have a given average rate. Its variable counts the number of events occurring before t. Waiting time between events is an exponential distribution (derived by computing the probability that 0 event occur before t).

Fun application: suppose you want to take a bus, on average they are independently 10mins apart (rate 1/10). On average when you arrive uniformly random, the next bus will arrive in 10mins (and likewise the last one was 10mins ago). This can be intuitively understood because you have more chances to arrive at a time when buses are further apart. The mean of the waiting time is 1/rate and not 1/(2*rate) like we could imagine.
> Having soldiers being gay was said to improve morale and make the soldiers fight better, as their partners was fighting together with them.

Glad they managed to find an expert with the calculating skill to clear up that other enigma as well.
No, because an equally (probably more) likely scenario is that the relevant sensors are giving bad readings.

Agree that they'll have devs submit ARM builds and all that.

fwiw, the reason I think the co-processor idea is likely is that Apple has recently re-committed to the Mac and specifically some niche use cases therein (thus they can't fully ditch Intel), and that they're already shipping an A10 equivalent in Macs today (the T2) so not that hard to go a bit further into the water. Also, in single core perf its possible the ARM chips would exceed most Xeons they ship, which clock lower in favor of more cores.

Agree if Apple had its way and could pick its markets perfectly, they'd have slowly shed niche use cases in favor of the highest margin markets (which is mainstream not pro), and thus at the appropriate moment dumped Intel and gone all-in on ARM. However, they're seeing the traditional pc market only moves so fast, there's many many pro niches they didn't really consider enough, and those niche Mac users really do have a lot of indirect value to Apple's brand. Emulation wouldn't cut it for those users - it'd only work if Apple saw ditching those markets as an acceptable tradeoff.

Intel CPUs are expensive but so are GPUs, and they'd only be bundled in the higher end machines - nothing that's below $2500-3000.

Well, that's my hunch anyway.
A probably better community.
> If you have a job that pays $20,000/year and you lose it to a robot, the silver lining is that the automation reduces the cost of living by $1000/year

I think that is a highly unlikely scenario. Automation is being introduced to reduce costs and so increase profits. There should be no expectation that these savings will be passed on to consumers. Even with competition, businesses are loathed to lower prices and instead will offer a better product or service for the same price. As a result the cost of living may not go down unless there is simply no market at that price. When that happens the outcome is not so clear. The company may adapt or simply go out of business.

These are all just anecdotes. I use a low-end laptop from 2010 and Firefox works fine on it.

If anything it got faster with the Quantum update though I haven't used Chrome since so I don't know how they compare.
Absolutely. The fact that this died down with time is the great miracle of 20th century america, but one we're so used to now that we take it for granted.

Ask HN: What to do when Google Ads for App stop running and they don't know why?
I was running app campaign my App it was running fine for 30 Days and all of sudden it stopped. 0 Installs.

Here is how Google Ads support executive responded to me:

Day 1 - Sir some data issue so its not reflecting app installs data campaign is running fine you can see after 24 hours. Do not need to worry.

Day 2 - (After 24 hour same issue 0 installs, 0 impressions.) Seems like CPA is low. Dumbos the campaign was running for my bid for 30+ days and all of sudden CPA effected and from 200+ downloads a day to 0 it went so? Call disconnected. He didnt know what to answer and just put up random thing.

Day 3 - Some sane guy came to support and said some issue is there I am raising ticket. Seems like some technical glitch. May be you can try duplicate campaign it should sort.

Day 6 - This guy is another super dumb head comes up and says
Sir issue is with the payments. Can you make a manual payment of 2000 INR it should fix up. I did it. Still campaign not working.
Called him same day says sorry sir seems like CPA is low.
I raised to 5Rs from 2Rs.

Day 8 - Another dumb Vikram comes up what he speaks even
he doesnt know... says create new campaign it will start working in 2 days.
Waited 2 days nothing working.

Day 10 - Calls and says sorry sir there is some techncial issue nothing can be said what the issue is when the issue will be fixed nor what the alternative is. So you need to wait. No other anwswer. When I asked what can be done he disconnected the call :(

Only if a given industry was already operating on super thin margins.

For example if Apple was able to lower their manufacturing costs by 10%, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't pass that on to customers :)
Stone money too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rai_stones
I think we're heading in a different direction: products are not owned by the customer, but are owned by the company. You will pay a monthly fee, and it's the company's responsibility to keep the product from failing.

A slightly different thing is happening with Apple. When you bought your phone, you didn't receive full ownership. Instead, you bought a seat in a theater. Apple's incentive is to keep the phone working so they can sell you more apps/movies/songs.

Are you sure? Aren't you talking about the average wait time for all tasks combined (sum of wait times) instead of the wait time for any one task. Obviously the optimal wait time any one task is 0, if you start right away. Intuitively i'd say if you sort the queue by size and always process the shortest task, you may indefinitely stall some long tasks.
My father in the 80s was working at GE where he extensively used Lotus 1-2-3. He loved it so much that he bought a computer in 85 and used to use it at home as well. I always hated the boring blue and black screen.

We moved back to Pakistan in early 90s and we setup a small girls school. He used Lotus to keep track of all students, results, late fees, accounts etc. It required a lot of data entry but he absolutely loved that he could get required data in seconds. All the fellow owners of schools were super fascinated.

It took quite a while for him to shift to Excel later as he was super comfortable with Lotus. Pretty sure before his death deep down he still preferred Lotus over Excel
The death of XHTML was brought on by the then crop of kids who don't want to understand how computers work and want it all done for them with someone else's code cause computer science is too hard and they'd have to think and thinking is too hard.

While I often hear this "draconian error handling" about XML/XHTML by such people who then complain that a language compiler is just as draconian and real programmers complain when it's not and doesn't catch their every little mistake.

It's this lack of education and drive for the pursuit of knowledge and understanding that caused XHTML to fall out of favor and no other reason.
There is also some conflict of interest. Academics studying climate change have a big incentive to show that ACC is real - it increases their importance, potential for funding, relevancy, political power, etc.

At this point, the issue is also way too political.

I would love to see a group of researchers, ideally originally from a different discipline (studying complex systems, so finance perhaps?), with pro-economic-activity, pro-capitalist leaning beliefs (this will give them a higher hurdle for being convinced by data), apriori skeptical of the level of certainty that ACC is real, self-funded, looking at the models and come up with some probabilities of various outcomes for the future.
