I have 15 hours in a Cessna 172, I’d be happy to give it a go!

But in all seriousness, in no way shape or form should the testing be informed by the skill assessment of the test operator.

The analysis should be looking at the tasks that had to be performed during the test, whether they were properly identified by easily selected checklists, and quantitative measurements of the complexity and physical difficulty of the tasks.

If it comes anywhere close to a question of the skill or strength of the specific test-taker then something has gone terribly horribly wrong.

In old school UI testing you would do GOMS analysis which allowed calculating the difficulty of specific tasks based on the actual manipulations required to perform them. The skill of the particular operator is not generally a factor in these types of analysis.

The subtitle of TFA states;

> Safety board says FAA should embrace data-driven approach to assumptions about pilot responses

This is a much more reasonable statement. For instance, the maximum physical force required to perform the task must be an industry standard that pilots are all certified to be able to perform.
I don't believe every highly-esteemed man (whether a professor or someone with another well-regarded position) is asking undergrads out.

I believe most of the men in positions of some power and acclaim at MIT aren't asking undergrads out, and yes, those that are shouldn't be in that position of power and/or acclaim.
If that happened then there will be no benefit of the initiative.

I've seen the same thing at every large company I have worked for. Plenty of slacker employees watching Youtube, gaming, making coffee runs, you name it. Big companies carry people, big companies carried me, even. When you have an infant at home and you're running on no sleep for 5-8 mos. you will understand.

The hardest I ever worked was at a small company with only six developers. It was surprisingly unpleasant, not because I had to code all the time, but because I had been a tech lead and had people to collaborate with on solving problems. This new place was all heads down devs, like some kind of throwback to an earlier age, and those people didn't want to chitchat--at all. Weird culture. I don't mind going off and coding and testing for hours on end and I was the most "in the zone" I have ever been on that job. Yet something was disturbingly missing and it was that openness to discussing solutions. I think it was the matter of resource constraints at small shops that annoys me the most, though.
Of course I don't, and I believe they know that.
I find macOS cumbersome and unpleasant to use and would rather pay more for windows or linux.
PSP/TSP isn't "here's another idea." It's a research-backed software development process.

Yes, it is possible. By default, only the top-level nets are exported from any given module. However, you can annotate additional nets of interest for export. There's also a mode whereby you can export everything, at a big hit in speed.

Even when exporting everything, its still much faster than Vivado's simulator, though.

I think they are doing this not because it's helpful to the users. People share garbage all the time. They sometimes feel bad that only one or two people liked their garbage. Now they have no idea, so they will share more garbage and use the site more. I'm done with Facebook entirely. I've been using it since 2011. I never go on it anymore for the past few years. I never update and I deleted everyone who wasn't a close family member as well as make everything private. It's not a product I care to use anymore. I never got on the instagram train and don't plan to. This is from a guy who has 130k subscribers on my YouTube channel and 2500 followers on Twitter. I just don't like Facebook's platform or Instagram. I also hated that Instagram gave my teenage daughter tons of creepy followers. Facebook is most certainly a detriment to society.

I think you have a great question here and all the answers so far seem like a stretch.

My answer is that it’s human nature to be lazy and want to use an already existing ad ecosystem. Plus lots of systems are built around it.

And that ad blockers aren’t enough of a problem to justify leaving the ecosystem.

"everybody defines the notion differently"

As I see it, the problem is that everyone knows what consciousness is - in a sense, it's the only thing they can know, it's direct experience. But it's impossible to inspect the consciousness of someone else; so scientists have trouble with the word, because verifiability.

So "scientists" (I mean those who advocate a scientific approach) tend to prefer the idea that consciousness is an "emergent phenomenon", rather than something fundamental; and that acts of will really follow an action, rather than causing it.

The article touches on Buddhist philosophy. Some Buddhists do indeed take the view that consciousness is something fundamental, that really exists.

I find it really hard to talk about this subject. I have a very strong conviction that consciousness is real and fundamental, because, well, it's all I've got, at the end of the day. But if consciousness is fundamental, then all that other stuff is secondary. There are schools of Buddhist philosophy that claim that all that secondary stuff is literally created by consciousness.

But my very consciousness constantly provides me with very convincing evidence that all that secondary stuff is in fact fundamental. So who's kidding who?

One reason it's good to play with this kind of stuff is that it makes you less certain of anything!
> Well, I'm wondering if consciousness is even a real state that can be defined precisely, or is it simply a made up construct so we humans can feel better about ourselves.

Statements like this always baffle me. People who straight up deny that there is something like subjective experience. I mean, I guess it's possible that there are non-conscious humans with no notion of what experiencing existence is like ("p-zombies") and their internal logic systems then will logically argue against the existence of consciousness.

There's obviously no way to "objectively prove" to one another that a human being or sufficiently complex AI is conscious, because that's the very definition of subjectiveness, but if only for moral and ethical reasons I think it's safer to assume all beings have a level of consciousness.
Saw it written elsewhere:

Sure, a very good point. But the people in the UK probably get the same type of non-arbitrary days off. For comparison, I'm more interested in the ones employees can use at their discretion.
1. The point is that an integer person would know to deny, because you're potentially breaking the law in the one way where being oblivious doesn't matter and the "potentially" is quite likely.

2. I see no equivalence here. RMS will go out of his way to misgender people. He might not think that's a big deal, but that's no excuse. Watch any interview with the guy, even if he's talking to someone who does not subscribe to calling it "GNU/Linux" he will insist, every time, for it to be corrected. That's not just being insistent, that's actually - dare i say it - orwellian.

He also likes to draw the JBP "oh god no i have been misinterpreted" line. Like, when I say "Hacker news users are techbros." and someone asks me "why do you think all hacker news users are techbros", I can turn around and say I never said ALL I meant a very specific subset why are you misinterpreting my words you horrible horrible person aren't you supposed to be better this horrible tribalism. He does it in his per article twice (using the phrase "without inquiring if that's what I believe")
There’s a tension between progress (some of which offers fuel [and ecological] savings) and cost.

If you can make a plane that saves an airline $1MM/year/copy but costs them $4MM extra and $500K/yr in training costs, you won’t sell as many as if it costs them $3MM extra and requires no retraining (or even $5MM/$0). Sometimes that difference is enough to make the project not viable economically.

Certification is incredibly expensive. The airplane I fly the most was built in 1997 on a type certificate (the basis of certification) originally approved in 1958. That’s incredibly common.

Passengers complain about terrible seats, terrible service, jam packed flights and then search for tickets on price as the overwhelming factor. It’s little surprise that airlines are competing mostly on price.

I’m not sure what you’re suggesting here as the solution to make it [pilot re-training?] “not a major economic driver”. It could be “reduce training costs for everyone” or “increase training costs for everyone” or something else.
I don’t think pilots are paid what you think they are...
There's a role for test pilots in aircraft development, and certification pilots, used in rating an aircraft for commercial use.

You'll want the good ones for that first task.
I came across this problem the other day:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53332321/react-hook-warn...

I love React and my first experience with hooks has been mostly positive, but how is it that something as simple as data fetching is not completely sorted out by now?

It sounds abhorrent!
Oh yes for sure. Maybe I should have put occasionally instead of often
Of course it should be. But the precedent was set in the early days of aviation when test pilots were flying experimental aircraft from alpha to v1. You don't want to kill rookies who freak out in a flat spin, so you put your coldest mfer in the seat.

And then they do barrel rolls during the first public flight of your 707.

But now that we've got such accurate virtual cockpits, we don't have to worry about killing pilots as much.
I feel like the most recent “battle cries” are along the lines of:

It would be interesting to see what restrictions apply to both the FSF and the definition of what constitutes a GPL license. I only considered that the GPL has been published by the FSF in the past so a new one most likely would also have to be published by them.

I don’t have much input on the underserviced founder description. As someone in Florida where we literally 2-3 real VC’s, I consider our market underserviced regardless of race, gender, creed. But I understand and support helping any Founder, whatever the angle for identifying them.

Regarding your underlying criteria here: “We expect founders to find a way to build and launch a product, get some amount of revenue traction, and have a roadmap to build the company profitably without relying on too much additional outside capital.”

This resonates with me and I would like to provide some fruit for thought. I am actually in the process of launching a startup studio with the investment thesis of:

<$50k for startups with large TAM’s (>$b) that can get product market fit in less than 90-days of the first $1 invested, and that can generate +EBITA within 12-months of the first $1 invested for $1-3m Seed.

Here is feedback on my model and thesis. It may help you refine yours and if I can be

I am going the studio route because I believe you need distributed teams. (specifically senior management, dev (support), design (brand/product)) in order to gain economies of scale in order to build such disruptive ideas efficiently.

I call this concept a “Venture Lab” because unlike a studio I want outside founders to join with their ideas. So imagine an accelerator married with a studio.

Here are some things to consider when your focusing on profitable startup building:

Speed is the key. The longer it takes to build, the more burn. Hence my requirement of product market fit super fast. I define product market fit as the ability to generate revenue organically or through profitable customer acquisition models.

If your going to be profitable fast... you have to be lean. Many vc’s want “great teams”. Unless the team has wealthy parents or some other means, they need to get paid. Therefore using precious cash. It’s a conundrum.

Furthermore most founders have never spent tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars that they are responsible for. It’s really different when your signing the check. If you can’t afford a great CFO who is doing a burn analysis and showing you your runway every few days you can quickly crash and burn. Your certainly not going to build a great product if your constantly running out of cash and fundraising (what I call “scrambling”).

So to recap: Speed > Lean > Cash/Resource/Time Management

Hence why I feel we (experienced distributed team called “the Lab”) have to be active in the venture building with the Founder.

The model has thousands of years of evidence of working: war fighting. Whenever you see numbers of soldiers deployed to a conflict, only 10% are actually war fighting. The rest are support, supply chain, logistics, etc. supporting the 10%. Same concept.

So the gist of my feedback is Don’t just write a check to underserviced founders, because their going to need a lot of support to: have a plan.

I think it’s more devastating when an innocent person goes to jail for years.

For instance, 25% of death row prisoners in Florida were found innocent.

Criminals know how to play the game but so do prosecutors who withhold evidence, corrupt policemen, judges who give harsher sentences to poor and minorities, the state governments who underfund the public defenders office but give the prosecution unlimited funds for experts, etc.

I would much rather the guilty go free than innocent people be wrongfully convicted.

That’s not really anonymous. For example when someone reports a tweet, Twitter also sends a message to the concerned person to let them know someone reported them, even if they didn’t take any action. In case of cyberbullying, the abusers can use the Twitter report as a tool to add more drama and pour oil onto the fire.

Yes.

Although, the fact that you have to write your model's driver in C++ is a turn-off for the career HDL engineers. I'm using it to model some DSP accelerators of algorithms that were originally developed in C. So I find the ability to easily run comparison tests side-by-side against the C model to be the best part.

The Verilator linter is also pretty good. HDL that can pass the Verilator linter almost has a VHDL-like accent to it.

The trainer probably wasn't a lawyer and certainly wasn't your lawyer and definitely wasn't being paid to give you legal advice. What they were telling you was what they expected you to internalize so that your behavior would keep your employer well on the safe side of the law, which includes avoiding behaviors which are not individually unlawful per se but which could easily, in combination with other factors, be part of a pattern that might support a claim of a hostile work environment.

Whoa. Sounds interesting and promising. If anyone from Svelte is here listening I'd like to point out that this isn't quite correct. WCAG actually specifies that __decorative__ images have no alt= or use alt=''. But yeah, a warning can't hurt. Kudos!

Svelte provides runtime warnings for accessibility issues. For example, <img> elements that have no alt attribute are flagged.
Classroom Technology Doesn’t Make the Grade
The main draw is that Svelte apps have no dependencies at runtime, instead it compiles a pure vanilla js bundle that relies on existing web APIs to do updates. This is attractive to a lot of people, me included, but imo Svelte isn’t quite production ready yet (at least for complex apps). It’s great for small projects though and I highly recommend checking it out

As long as we continue to hold things people said as teenagers a decade ago against them, this will continue happening. People started tweeting their every though long before they began considering the potential future consequences of that action. People grow and mature, and assuming the worst thing they've ever said is an accurate reflection of their entire character is wrong. And finally, norms have changed drastically over the last decade. I think it's foolish to hold historical figures to today's societal norms, and I think the same about any of us a decade ago.

We're in a state of mutually assured destruction right now. I can't imagine that this state of affairs can hold much longer. Eventually, for all our sake, I hope we can remember the wisdom in Christ's words, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone".
