Going down the wikipedia rabbit hole, the Aeroflot page refers to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Airlines_Flight_261

A few days ago I'd asked how the NTSB gets good co-operation from the airlines in these cases (thanks for the answers at the time!)

The interesting point to me was the contrast between the 2 cases.

In the Aeroflot case:

> Three engineers who signed the jackscrew drawings were convicted.

In the Alaska Airlines case:

> The investigation then proceeded to examine why scheduled maintenance had failed to adequately lubricate the jackscrew assembly. In interviews with the Alaska Airlines mechanic at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) who last performed the lubrication it was revealed that the task took about one hour, whereas the aircraft manufacturer estimated the task should take four hours. This and other evidence suggested to the NTSB that "the SFO mechanic who was responsible for lubricating the jackscrew assembly in September 1999 did not adequately perform the task". Laboratory tests indicated that the excessive wear of jackscrew assembly could not have accumulated in just the four-month period between the September 1999 maintenance and the accident flight. Therefore, the NTSB concluded that "more than just the last lubrication was missed or inadequately performed".

I couldn't find any mention of personal sanction.

Just surprised by the difference in treatment between the 2 cases...
I don't think "gamified forum" makes things all that different. It's fine to say "I think saying thanks is redundant", it's quite another to go around and removing "thanks" from questions because it's "redundant chatter". That's just ... weird.
What are the applications of deep learning that look like weather simulations (as in one run -> results to 10m people?) In my experience deep learning systems are aimed at applications that are single use 1 run -> 1 person.

The training cost is more important than you think as well. To train a model normally requires 10's or 100's of experiments, meaning that we are consuming 30 -> 3k people's carbon, and the application of the model is typically narrow, so we end up doing 4 or 5 projects per year per group... meaning that we could spend 10's of k carbon per team to produce $10m's benefit. I wonder if we can justify this at all?
It's kind of a different class of problem. With self driving you can have someone like Hotz or the Cruise guys knock up a system with limited resources and have it work quite well. You just can't do that with developing nuclear weapons.

Also self driving is not a problem where you can put a bunch of geniuses in a room and have them calculate the correct design. There are too many unknowns. It needs experimentation and trial and error.

Interesting, but I don't really get the difference about intersection types.
(abstraction through capabilities)
What differentiate an intersection type from a mixin?
Secondly I get it that intersection types in typescript are more permissive but they are mostly functionaly the same, aren't they?
I wouldn't be so sure. Edge TPUs could be the exact same architecture than Google Cloud TPUs, but as you need less computation power for inferring than training, they have simply less transistors on the die and could be underclocked.

In other words, Cloud TPUs could be the same architecture than Edge TPUs but scaled to an higher frequency and more packed.

I guess we need sources to confirm.
Multi band compressors also help in this domain, choosing which frequency band to attenuate or boost. For multi channel audio, phase becomes important too. Not for nothing is a typical trick in mastering to restrict low frequencies to mono..
NPD (narcissistic personality disorder) is complex and while it is possible to have a good eye for identifying them, it's nearly impossible to tell during job interview.

Thankfully, most people with NPD want to live off of others for free, so the majority of narcissists are not in the work place.

However, there are other not-so-great types that are more common in the work place. At the end of the day learning the ideal way to handle conflict (including with an abusive boss) is a productive endeavor, because that knowledge helps with many difficult situations. A master key of sorts is both how to handle conflict and how to identify dangerous people.

For more information on how to identify them this comment I just wrote explains where they are coming from to a decent degree of detail: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21494295

It helps to identify what people around you want, understand how manipulation works, and to not blindly believe stories. Most people believe or disbelieve what they hear. Having a third category that keeps track of unverified information helps identify when someone starts lying. Narcissists lie quite a bit, but they're not compulsive liars either. Sometimes it will take years to catch on.

For how to handle difficult situations, the book In Sheep's Clothing is a quicker read that most books and dives into how to respond to ASPDs and NPDs in the work place: https://www.amazon.com/Sheeps-Clothing-Understanding-Dealing...

Let's be clear: the claim that burning coal releases radioactive sulfur and carbon is wrong. There are radioactive materials released, but they are from contaminants like uranium and its decay products.

>Is an audio stream really just a bunch of samples of volume?

Yes.

> I had always assumed you needed to record different wavelengths of sound to capture different pitches

Why? Look at a mono vinyl record. It has a single groove, which is the soundwave carved into the vinyl. Digital audio is the same, except you store a digital image of the groove.

>Is my mental model completely wrong?

Yes.

>How do you get such variety in sound just from recording the volume?

By recording the volume 44100 times per second.
This article raises an interesting point in the 737 MAX discussions. Far too much the press coverage about the MAX has concentrated on whether the MAX can be made to fly safely - which I think it can be, but not, whether it is actually the right design for the tasks it is meant to do.
And it does not surprise that stretching a smaller design wouldn't do the trick so well.

I am not an aviation expert, so the article was a bit short on details which make the 757 better than the 737 MAX, but I assume it is the wider body and probably better sized wings etc.?
Corporations need to make a profit and voluntarily be paid by people for delivering value. Governments force people to pay and can spend as much as they want. They are diametrically opposed in how they spend.

But that wasn't the question, and as expected you haven't provided an answer although you hinted at what I've been saying all along near the end. The reality is that the more taxes won't make a difference, only a change in incentives.

Just in case there's any doubt: the British government went as far as ordering ten prototype mines, but they stopped short of installing them and cancelled the whole thing because it was just too insane. And the chicken thing was just a proposal, no chicken was deployed.

However nuclear is calculated at true cost, solar and wind is not.

And nuclear is also calculated in the past plus its been underdeveloped the last 30 years.

Backup energy for wind and solar is not included wich have to be either coal, gas, oil or nuclear to compensate for the low capacity factor wind and solar which is at 20-40 compared to nuclear which is at 90.

So even if wind and solar were cheaper it only provides at the will of the weather.

I would love to se a proper non-partisan calculation where everything gets calculated in.
I recently started tracking my diet more and realised I've been having 200+ grams of sugar a day !
The original title ask whether sugar is REALLY bad for you, implying even in the title that it may not be that bad.

Then, in the body of the article you get a feeling that it was commissioned by the sugar lobby. Showing the evidence but casting doubt every time. It concludes with a "it does not matter".

One reason is the extra instructions are an artefact of the decode process - undefined behaviour that just happens to be useful - but woe to you if you rely on them (although I have heard sometimes they are so useful they get publicly supported, I think something like that happened with the z80 and something to do with addressing/address space).

But here, it's weird, especially something like division which presumably isn't cheap to implement and is useful to end users. I don't get it at all.

You may want to check that.
> White was also not considered a race in the 20's.

Yes, it was.

> There were Nordics, Jews, Irish, Eastern Europeans, and Southern Europeans.

The existence of those groups, and the fact that then-current concepts of whiteness would exclude some or all of them, doesn't change the fact that “White” was the identity of the dominant racial group, and had been for quite some time by the 1920s.

> I should also mention, this is the deeply disturbing origin of the progressive movement in america.

No, it wasn't. Oh, deeply disturbing it was, but it wasn't the origin of the progressive movement in America. It's true that the eugenics movement occurred within one of many (often overlapping in time) movements that took the name “progressive” in US history, but it wasn't the first, nor one historically strongly connected to any of the modern groups with the name.
The difference is a dictator takes power. In a democratic and capitalist system, there is nothing stopping you from gaining that power for yourself. So what is there other than envy?

Taxes do not give more power to the people, if that's your answer. They concentrate it in the hands of a few, except this time its politicians.

Withholding money from the government is already illegal. The only possibility is an arbitrary judgement that there should be "more" paid, and if more money won't magically solve these problems then why isnt the attention placed no properly spending the money that is collected instead?

But the finance sentence hints at the real purpose - to take from those who have. Inequality isn't the problem. It's proper isolation from power. Money should be removed from politics, not poured into it.

It might have been done for product differentiation, or to ensure the designers weren't constrained by needing to be compatible with features that would be burdensome to replicate on future chips. Trivially, if every possible eight-bit value mapped to an opcode (or the first byte of an opcode) the designers were obligated to keep working with that value, because programmers and compiler writers had discovered them all, they would have no space in the opcode table to add new functionality, unless they happened to get lucky and find a byte sequence which was nonsense in the existing chip they could use as a prefix for new encodings. Intel likes prefixes for new x86 opcode encodings, but it does require having a sequence of bytes which can never validly occur in any machine code program for the current generation of chip.
At least in the US, land is an negligible part of the cost of PV in most of the country. And here, many reactors have been having trouble meeting their operating costs, particularly if they encounter a major maintenance issue, or if they are smaller or not paired with other reactors to save on staffing. The remaining reactor at TMI was cash flow negative for six years before it was retired for being unprofitable.

There is some reluctance on the part of utilities to shut down nuclear power plants because continuing to operate them allows decommissioning (and its costs) to be delayed.

>But the thing is, wind and solar (and quite a few other reneweable energies) are now cheaper than nuclear and don't bear the risk of contaminating large regions in case of a major accident.

And are destroying every grid which they dominate. Germany, South Australia, California. When you start getting negative price events while the overall price increases something has gone very wrong with the market.

A renewable network is not fit for an industrial society. You need a stable base load to run machines, like computers, elevators or hospitals. You can either try and build batteries, which costs trillions of dollars build in large enough quantities (the largest battery in the world can run South Australia for about 5 minutes), a transcontinental grid to share power, which costs trillions of dollars to build, or nuclear power, which cost billions and is something we already know how to do.
Apparently Audacity supports automation from a variety of different languages[1]. Though I’ve not tried myself so I couldn’t comment how good it is. However you’re right that if you’re writing software that depends on such a tool it’s better to have something you can compile into your software (or at least an .so / .dll you can redistribute).

I wish for a future where we can have more than one concurrent view of the same code. Structure need not be derived from from mere files and newlines and a handful of semantic organizational elements (function, class, module).

The current way of doing things forces us to make a compromise between prioritizing the forest over the trees, or vice versa. Programming languages are largely concerned with the trees' bark. But to make good software, you need to see and understand both, so the compromise is always a problem.

The solution probably needs large-scale re-imagining of how compilers, languages, version control, and editors/ides work (which also requires one to accept that working with a simple flat-file text editor won't work -- a bitter pill to swallow for someone like me who likes the simplicity of simple text editors).

I have some (very vague) ideas, but gosh, how do I find the time to experiment and refine or reject them...

Maybe not, but it is pretty clear about what the author means by "dice living". I.E a somewhat zen-like destruction of self (or ego as the book puts it). This is also explored in the sequel (Search for the dice man, also the name of the article).

Yes man also outlines its philosophy pretty explicitly (the "yes manifesto"). As such, it's easy to contrast and compare the two philosophies on pretty like-for-like terms.

Dice man does approach it kind of nihilistically though, but also shows the consequences of that approach.

I don't want to defend the GIL, but that's not the reason CPython is slow. PyPy can be 100s of times faster, and it has a GIL too.

Waymo has a significantly different approach using lidar rather than just vision. The approaches seem to have different strengths and weaknesses. Waymo is actually able to do full autonomy but in very restricted environments - basically semi deserted suburbs.

Counter lemma: saying "yes" to more opportunities [than one would normally say "yes" to] increases the surface area for happy coincidences (such as meeting the person at the gig) to happen which overall will outweigh the negative effects (annoying the friend and not getting the second invite) in absolute terms.

I.e. I think it's more likely you'll end up in a better place if you say yes more (saying yes to absolutely everything is impractical) rather than just ending up somewhere "different" but equal

So what? Training model is the hardest part, then you just reuse results

I doubt anyone is going to want to run a 33GB model on their phone.

So what? I can't run weather simulation on my laptop.

You only need to run the weather simulation once and then broadcast your forecast to everyone’s devices. You can’t do that with NLP. In order to be useful, NLP models need to run on different input data for every user. With a giant 33GB model, that means round-tripping to the data centre.

If you have to run everything in the cloud, your applications are limited. The cost is also very high, given that there are way more user devices than servers in the world. That means you need to build more data centres if you plan to run these giant models for every application you want to offer your users.
It’s just that Google is a much larger target for negative PR response than any of the other companies.
