But I don't think you have to look that hard at some technical error causing this variance. Drivers speeds vary between 40 and 60 pretty regularly on residential roads. Having a speedometer error doesn't even have to enter into the conversation.

If you can't design a green wave to be tolerant of varying speeds, then it isn't useful.

I'm encouraged to see proper wings and empennage, glad you're not making an octocopter. Bonus points for conventional (tailwheel) landing gear.

But questions:

How fast can it fly and for how long?

Article says "weighs about one-third of a Cessna". So less than 1000 lbs empty?

And, importantly, with those wings, does it "stall" normally, at 40 mph or so?

Asking as a former J-3 Cub pilot who'll assuredly never afford this.
No I just think people eager to push for the positive result interpretation from the Google paper rush to astroturf, and you can reasonably detect it even from limited text like this case.
There’s two sides to this.

Most of my career has been in government, and the finance cadre that ends up running most agencies are similar to MBAs as they have financial and budgeting expertise and minimal area expertise.

They produce a certain type of leadership style. That said, the folks who have expertise in the program side usually have awful financial expertise. You end up with an imbalance where finance dominates.

In short, the problems with MBAs would mostly go away if engineers had 15 credits in accounting.
You mean you didn't install Calibre because of a bug report where the author allegedly misbehaved? That's odd. A lot of open source software is riddled with ego and personality clashes, and because they play out in public forums, mailing lists and bug trackers for everyone to see, these flamewars tend to be very visible (also see: Linus Torvalds' outbursts). Do you also not use these programs?

Did you need Calibre in the first place? If so, what did you end up using instead?
The problem is that in many cases you can never know for sure if someone is intentionally missgendering or if it was just a mistake (e.g forgot their pronouns or if is confusing them for someone else), which is extremely easy to do in online forum because we lack a lot of social clues present in real life that help us remind who are we talking to, like their faces and their voice; more-so because internet moderators interact with hundreds of people on a daily basis and is completely reasonable to forget some details of each conversation they participate in.

Individualism is a spirit that infects us all. It is invested in heavily by the rich and is heralded from the most credible academics and political leaders as the correct way to be or live.

Where is the line between the content of the idea individualism and the political reinforcement of the idea in the populace? It is apart of the fixed social structure already.

Is being governed by a shared idea, not blind conformity in itself?
Interesting, but a non flag bearing ship is certainly facing less oversight than any spaceship commander.

unions stifle innovation and prevent advancements in technology. They keep factories full of multiple workers doing the job of one person.

The taxicab unions wanted to keep a medallion system in place and have pushed Uber and Lyft out of many cities, which will result in higher fares and less efficiency with the routes.

It reminds me of the record industry, trying to prevent things like Napster and the digital music revolution, because they didn't want to switch over from physical media.

Part of my job is hiring out for high performing teams. What I've noticed from 100s of candidates is that the high achieving kids of immigrants do well in university as well as school. However when faced with real world challenges, the more well rounded candidates (of which a large portion are the immigrants kids for sure) definitely produce the highest value in their work (orthogonal problem solving and communication). Hard to be well rounded when you're just doing a narrow set of training exercises after school. After school is for life
Three other takeaways from Coddling:

Yes but the scenarios 2 to 3 mentioned in the comment above are purely speculative. They in fact go contrary to the weight of more recent demographic historical evidence so far and insofar as there's a major scientific consensus of any kind on population growth, it's weighted heavily in favor of the idea that population will stabilize by or before 2100. Even the 12 billion figure is exceptionally high. The majority I've seen indicate 11 billion or less, many 10 billion and the lower professional estimates argue we might see a world population of only 9 billion or so by 2100, if I recall correctly. All this takes aside new energy, crop and general technological prospects for good human development. Currently, more people than ever are indeed living better than ever despite the population having doubled since the mid 1970s or so and the current biggest problems facing populations in need almost entirely consist of politically caused shortages, not literal absolute resource shortages.
This is the worst thing I've ever seen in my life.
Great minds! Love that you deployed to a Pi – I’ve thought about the same to complement or replace smartphones.

Can you shed some insight into your ML process? One thing we did to simplify the vision problem is capture images from the same perspective (hence our tripod). We labeled 2894 objects across 292 images. We had 12 objects to detect: each piece for black and white. We struggled with occlusion, especially if a pawn is behind a queen.
Their aim was building "a more welcoming and inclusive network". The first step towards this is... excluding people, apparently.

That’s like saying there is no regulation on what you can do with a database until it begins to violate some other law. Or like saying there is no regulation on what you can do with human imagination until you imagine something unlawful.

Machine learning is a technique of mathematics. What do you even mean there’s no regulation of this subset of mathematics? If the law were to say a triangle can’t have three sides would it make it so?

Apple makes my preferred platforms, but macOS and iOS have poor backward compatibility, and this is particularly bad for games.

Yearly ABI changes and removals impose a recurring maintenance burden on developers to revise their apps just to keep them working. I think it's one of the factors driving the move to subscription pricing.
You’re wrong that no one should ever use goto. Goto is a perfectly fine control flow operator IF AND WHEN you use it in a highly structured, well-understood way. This is how systems programming is done. A “goto cleanup” section at the end of a function is the best way to do exit-on-error in C, hands down.

I hate that people keep peddling this nonsense because they wrote a little C and read a headline about “goto considered harmful”, which is a gross oversimplification and a BAD piece of “wisdom” that for some reason won’t die. This is how serious handling in C is done. Please stop repeating this tired trope.
Same in CA.
goto for error handling is not just "freeform anything goes goto". It's a very specific idiom, being an "error" label and a bunch of "if (resource) free(resource)" statements at the end of the function. It is essentially analogous to a common use case of Go's defer. Typically an accepted pattern when dealing with many resources and possible exit points. Prevalent in I/O heavy code.

Different ballgame from the subject of Dijkstra's manifesto.
As a parent from an educated family, whose own parents surely never complained about my or my siblings' homework, I was surprised to see how much other parents complain about homework.

It is a hard subject even to discuss because it is always approached as if homework requirements are, and should be, the same for students of all ages, even though nobody really expects it to be so. Nobody (in the USA anyway) expects children attending pre-school programs to get homework. At the same time, it's preposterous to think that university students would learn everything inside the classroom. So, sometime between pre-school and university, students should probably start getting homework. One possibility would be to start with a little and gradually increase the amount of outside work required. Then, however, you open the door to questions of how much and how soon, and everyone will have a different opinion.

One of the problems is that many people seem to conceive of education of children like filling a vessel: the students sit passively while the teacher fills their minds with knowledge through their eyes and ears. In fact, the most important things kids learn in school are skills, and the process is not unlike learning to play a sport or a musical instrument. As with all skill learning, practice is required. The important basic skills (e.g. "reading, writing, and arithmetic") especially need practice, and so do meta-skills like "how do I track and prioritize tasks that may not be due for days or weeks?" Also, work like reading, writing papers, and solving math problems can be done without the teacher present, so it's not a particularly good use of limited resources to ask the students to do that work when the teacher is present.

I find it ironic that many of the parents I know who complain about their students' homework load would blink not an eye at sending their kids to football, soccer, swimming, gymnastics, cheerleading, or whatever sports practice for hours every week, knowing that the kids have to practice "if they're gonna be any good."
Nice. We’ll dive into your repo, too.

How did you handle a queen occluding a smaller pawn behind it? Simply more training data?
Exactly. A cultural change is big, but this is even bigger than culture, it's hard wired in our genes since before humans even became a species. So there will never be a magical fairy land where people just accept equal economic outcomes gifted to us by the robots. So we have to start there and figure out a different solution, the suggested solution is a nonstarter.
It's an example where some effort on Apple's part would save a multiplicative factor of developer effort and user frustration. I expect the cost to users of a couple hundred megabytes of flash storage is a fair trade-off for not having your apps break with every yearly iOS update.
> “The outage was triggered as a result of a networking configuration change on the Block Storage clusters to improve handling packet loss scenarios. The new setting caused incompatibilities, which led to network interfaces becoming unavailable.”

I wonder if this just means someone changed an MTU configuration and it led to tons of fragmentation in different components of the network, and especially for any large file transfer making things timeout constantly to render an outage. Just a wild guess, but I’ve seen this happen with in-house datacenters before, so perhaps.
Understood. But for simplicity and consistency maybe we should just use first names. No he or she, etc. Just use the first name. Wouldn't that do it?
This is a top-3 culture war issue because it gives a perfect wedge. Gay marriage is lost as that issue, that was the next one theofascists latched on. (It's the same reason state legislatures are so very much concerned with gendered bathrooms these days)

It is deliberately stoked time and again because it specifically fires up a large conservative base, and is life-threatening to a small group. As a bonus point for the wedge issue status, the vast majority in the middle doesn't understand how difficult and dangerous it is to be misgendered as a transgender person, and so it's easy to paint the LGBT community as "rabid" for defending people's right to not be misgendered.

And that's why we're here. One large group deliberately fanning hate flames, and one small group desperately trying to not get killed even more often.

So, as we think about making this into a production app, a feature you’d request is the ability for a user to add input as to why a given move is being suggested?

At present, we’re simply outputting the recommended move from StockFish, which also does give a “Why.” Perhaps letting users add that commentary in the app sufficiently solves that need.

Could the argument be made that the drop also correlates with the advent of smartphones like the iPhone and Android? The most expensive components in these were microprocessors – which outside embedded systems were never Japan’s strong point.
Likewise. I am shocked by the lack of empathy expressed by many here and on SO. Pronouns may be a small thing for a cis person, but for others they are a way to reclaim an identity denied to them. To deny anyone that basic level of respect is unconscionable, regardless of whether a code of conduct enforces it or not. A person tasked with enforcing community norms who is unwilling to do that and more, who subverts drafting a policy in bad faith, has no business being a moderator.
With the recent raft of vulnerabilities such as Spectre/Meltdown and Rowhammer, there's an argument to be made that maybe, just maybe, running "untrusted" code on the same physical machine as "trusted" code is fundamentally insecure. Not just because of those particular vulnerabilities, but because they all seem to point to some sort of axiom - when two pieces of code share physical state (CPU, RAM etc), you cannot ever be 100% certain that they do not affect each other in some subtle way. And even if the hardware itself was perfect, it's not like you can practically prove all the code on a modern machine correct and flawless.

So maybe, instead of trying to somehow make it safe to run untrusted software on our machines, we should focus on making sure all the code that runs on our machines is trusted - not in the sense of "proved correct", but in the sense of "written without malicious intent". If you regard Discord scanning your processes as an unacceptable invasion of privacy, and it bothers you that there's no way to turn that off, perhaps avoiding Discord is a better solution than trying to sandbox it.

We have the tilt one and not the bigger lift model. I eventually realized that the reason it couldn't even break egg yolks was that the set screw was adjusted wrong so the beater couldn't even get low enough to do anything useful.

It may be great once you get used to it. I mainly discovered that we don't have any need for a mixer.

The new Sunbeam mixers really are crap. My mom bought a replacement since something gave out on hers that must have been from the late 70s / early 80s. I think she used it once or twice and it either gave out or didn't have enough gusto to even mix up a batch of cookies. She got a KitchenAid that she feels similarly disappointed with as I do.

The thing that was great about the Sunbeam style mixer is that the beaters were at the back end of the bowl and a little rubber nub on one of the beaters "walks" the bowl around and shoves everything through the beaters, so everything gets mixed up really evenly. Plus you can grab the side of the bowl and move it back and forth to break stuff up better.

The other advantage is that the front of bowl is always open for pouring things in or scraping things off the sides.

The planetary gear thing the KitchenAid does just seems weird to me and doesn't seem to actually mix things thoroughly. Probably just a learning curve I've never bothered to go through...
I complained.

My kids would come home with multiple worksheets to do every night starting in 1st grade. Potentially a good hour or more of work depending on the child.

My understanding is the type of work they send home has not shown to be beneficial based on my wife's graduate work in early childhood education.

Fortunately the school district saw it that way too and such homework was no longer counted as far as grading goes in the early grades.
Well I don't imagine it'd be a thing you should need to adjust often, but most things need to be calibrated periodically to work correctly.
Huh? I get my dividends hitting my account when stuff I hold in RH pays out.
the book "limits to growth" from the 70s has a bunch of discussion around potential future trajectories for human population, based on modelling & simulation.

the authors discuss & model different interventions & policies that could be put in place to try to prevent the "overshoot and collapse" type scenario where human population peaks and then crashes.

some academics argue that things are tracking somewhat consistently with projections of the modelling from 50 years ago: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/sep/02/limits...

a lot of the critique of the "limits to growth" modelling is of the form "a crash in global population was predicted by time T, but that didn't happen", but the modelling doesn't really try to make predictions in terms of specific events happening at specific timescales, it's focused on understanding the underlying behaviour based on the structure of the system.
One other thing to keep in mind as well: much of our current population explosion isn't even due to massive birth rates. It's the result of much lower infant mortality. If we were to still have the infant mortality rates we had in the beginnings of the 20th century with current global birth rates, i'd even speculate that population would already be declining. Since said birth rates continue to decline, the trend looks good globally.

Some of the responses to this article showcase opinions that I see a lot on Hacker News and which make it really hard to be on this site as a trans person sometimes. There’s a lot of attention being paid to the people who resigned, or whose moderator status was revoked—and how accommodating they may or may not have been—but it seems like very little of them are focusing on the people who this preferred pronoun policy was designed to help in the first place.

I know lots of people in my life who are genderfluid, or who use nonstandard pronouns. They aren’t the caricatures that some of the people in this thread are making them out to be, they’re real people who are out there doing their best and live as themselves, and it’s really difficult seeing this thing they struggle with every day be labeled a “political” issue.

Whether one think it's valid or not, people are hurt and suffer from the actions you suggest. Even if no harm is intended, harm is actively being done. At the same time, there is a limit to the linguistic, religious and/or philosophical concessions that pronoun users can reasonably make. It appears to me that that there is not always a middle ground that satisfies both sides.

I (as someone who has no horse in this race) would suggest to put basic empathy and courtesy above "refusing to concede" on some more or less immaterial question, at least where there is no other reason not to. The ideological high horse isn't very high if one knowingly goes about hurting people to stay on it.
