Not too sure about the case in the article and if relates exactly, but it made me think about spaced-reptition systems. I aim for a 80-90% success rate as I've found that to be the optimal range (arrived at that after doing this for 10+ years now with varying settings).

I can see how some people like the idea of legitimizing irreproducible results, but they don’t bear scrutiny and it’s no way to transfer power. I also don’t think it is reasonable to dismiss someone who writes for the walrus, whose piece was edited by someone there, as an innumerate and naive lightweight. An agenda seems much more plausible.

I lived thru that era using Motorola processors and even I can't keep track of who sued who for what despite having been there at the time. I remember subscribing to that newsgroup.

Basically, Hitachi and Motorola, much like land fiber based phone companies, they love and hate each other, often at the same time. On one hand everyone at the cutting edge of tech has to be on the same edge, and certain lucrative .gov contracts require second sources for hardware so they have to cooperate, on the other hand the bean counters see it as an income stream to sue each other for infringement, possibly as a merger strategy gone bad, or just stupidity and arrogance, who knows.

From memory, Hitachi sued Motorola over their 68hc11 microcontroller infringing Hitachi's patents primarily as punishment because Motorola licensed all their pre-'86 CPU technology to Hitachi while Hitachi was of the opinion Motorola falsely post-dated a bunch of hardware features post-'86 literally to F them over when Hitachi marketed their H-8 and H-16 processors. Somehow this lawsuit battle continued into the 90s with Hitachi threatening injunctions on Motorola shipping 68030 processors which were used in early Mac computers, that made the news. In the end, nobody was successful nor made money other than the lawyers.

So in summary, if somebody permits you to second source a design even though they hate you and are in a battle to the legal death with you, and you're like "LOL I can trivially make a 2.0 improved version of this old POS" then depending on how the legal battle is going later on, you might just ship the silicon and kinda not talk about how its a 2.0 improved version that's faster and lower power and new features.

Or in a summary of the summary, the two companies loved/hated each other and there were so many weirdly worded license agreements and open legal cases, that its not entirely clear what was legal or illegal about manufacturing a "2.0" of someone elses processor design.

Ask HN: Aerospace Salaries and New Space
I’ve interviewed at a number of aerospace firms, both legacy and new space (SpaceX, some of the new mega constellation startups). But I’m always stymied by salaries. They all seem to top out at $150k (and some were far lower). Not many options or RSUs. I would think with all the VC and growth that salaries would be nudging up, but they seem stagnant.

I recognize perhaps it’s just my negotiation skills, hence why I am querying HN hive mind.

While the Athenians were true about giving real power to everyone (rather than a facade of power in the form of vote every 4 years) , only the citizens who were male had the privilege. Non citizens , women and slaves could not. Still, their model was more inclusive than democracy ( as most household had a chance, instead of 51% as is typical in democracy today).

Such an arrangement would lead to much-less-regulated societies, as people would be wary of weaponized legislation that can be used by their neighbor.

There is also something to be said about how contemporary democratic politics have been turned to emotional porn

You could also mix sortition with elections to minimize power plays, like the way they elected the Doge of Venice:

> New regulations for the elections of the doge introduced in 1268 remained in force until the end of the republic in 1797. Their intention was to minimize the influence of individual great families, and this was effected by a complex electoral machinery. Thirty members of the Great Council, chosen by lot, were reduced by lot to nine; the nine chose forty and the forty were reduced by lot to twelve, who chose twenty-five. The twenty-five were reduced by lot to nine, and the nine elected forty-five. These forty-five were once more reduced by lot to eleven, and the eleven finally chose the forty-one who elected the doge.[19] Election required at least twenty-five votes out of forty-one, nine votes out of eleven or twelve, or seven votes out of nine electors.[20]
I have quite the oppossite approach- if corruption is so unavoidable, why not instituionalize it? The economic sector gets 25 % of the votes in parliament. Companys can boost the percentage of there representive in this fixed part, by paying taxes (in secret). If there are 25 company representives, and every company pays 1 billion - they get each get 1% of the economic-sector-power to distribute.

Corruption outside of this fixed percentage is heavy penalized, as in life prison sentences.

I'm still amazed Tesla has decided not to use lidar and instead just stick with cheap cameras. Better sensors are there, they're available, they're cheap and they can probably "see" better than plain old cameras... it doesn't make too much sense not to use them IMHO. But then again, I am not coding NNs for Tesla...
I have to agree, for example, there are many things about programming and getting a non-academic job that I have learned from watching programming videos and many things at a higher academic level or for contributing to a codebase that I have learned from skills picked up from texts and working with text based documentation. The problem I see with the a focus on learning styles for individuals is that they add additional layers of complexity and ultimately more ethical failures by claiming with little or no proof that different learners have vastly different capabilities in a whole bunch of categories that are innate rather than a matter of practice.

Given that subjects have inherent styles of medium that become more essential as you approach expert and need to interact with experts in an efficient way, if you convince someone they have an innate problem you deprive them of the motivation to become an expert, and you see more and more people going to a junior level and dropping out.

I've long thought this would be a great idea, although given the differences in communities it would probably make most sense to implement this at the state or even local level.

I do find it this statement odd:

> These assemblies are part of a wider conversation, and in this conversation, there should also be a place for social movements: the reasoned deliberation of disinterested citizens should not come at the cost of the voices of those who have stakes in the issues being debated. ... For example, the British environmental movement Extinction Rebellion lists a citizens’ assembly on climate and ecological justice as one of its demands.

People who want more democracy are often rather selective about what the legitimate scope of that democracy should be. Consistently less than 5% of voters believe that the environment/climate change is the most important issue facing the country: https://news.gallup.com/poll/1675/most-important-problem.asp.... (By contrast over 20% say immigration.) Climate change, moreover, seems like one of those issues that affects everyone, rather than one of those issues--like say marriage quality or affirmative action--where certain individuals have particularly strong "stakes in the issues being debated." Such a broad policy choice--embodying fundamental trade-offs between present discomfort and future risk--would seem most appropriate for resolution by an impartial panel of randomly selected citizens.

TL;DR:

Truckers are all for automation at the port, as it makes their job better as there will be fewer queues and delays in loading their cargo. Their job security is not affected and they can deliver quicker.

Port workers are against automation, as it replaces their job descriptions.

Many of the port workers are also unionised and have more influence over the politicians and port authority. Truckers and immigrant port workers are not unionised and less effective at being heard.

I know for a fact that 90s era Liebert brand data center coolers used a 6809 based SCADA board. Presumably running microware OS-9. The business confusion at Hitachi was does management want us to innovate a hardware drop in replacement 2.0 for Liebert's coolers, or do they want us to just ship a second source for replacement parts for Liebert? Using Liebert solely as an example I'm aware of for actual customers.

Speed doesn't really matter to Liebert as its not like data center cooler thermostats are going to be typed on 10x faster by caffeinated humans or fans will spin 10x faster. Although denser code DOES mean more marketable features could be added to the firmware. Of course if you compile for the more advanced 6309 then you no longer have a second source for hardware and theoretically Hitachi could screw you over by charging a lot more than motorola charges for 6809 processors once you're dev team is stuck on the 6309. All I can say for certain is in the end, if you open a 90s era Liebert you'll see a thermostat / early-SCADA PCB with a genuine motorola 6809 on it, so that was THEIR final decision.

90s era Saturn automatic transmissions had a similar issue and they shipped with genuine motorola 68hc11 chips. Again, its not like a 10x faster processor will decrease 0-60 times by ten times, so ...

Generally Hitachi's business strategy WRT CPU licensing seems not to have worked?
There already is a recurring pattern. Not exactly like this situation, but a pattern of discriminating against anything that is not French. It's getting completely out of hands.

To expand on your comment a little: The new API means uBlock Origin cannot do useful things that it does now. gorhill/Raymond is not refusing to implement a new API, he is refusing to nerf uBlock Origin.

That's a stance I like very much. And it is good news for Firefox for sure, since the roughly 30% (last I checked) of users that use privacy-enhancing extensions are being handed a very good incentive to switch.

The post briefly mentions multi-account containers[1]. I have loved using them and regard them as a killer feature for Firefox. Very few websites support account switching. Google is probably the best example, and even then, I don't really want to log in to both my personal and work Gmail within the same session. But containers effectively and cleanly enable multiple sessions for all websites.

Like tabs so many years ago, it's the kind of feature that seems obvious in retrospect. I can't think of a hard technical reason why we couldn't have had container tabs a long time ago. I hope mobile and desktop OSes will one day implement the same feature for apps/programs.

Whoever was involved in coming up with the idea and with implementing it, thank you!

> I'd classify this error as functional correctness

It isn't. Functional correctness is about ensuring that the code matches the spec. Preventing those kind of bugs could have a positive or a negative impact on functional correctness, but they are not, in themselves, functional bugs.

> Such class of error is simply not possible in Rust's type system.

This doesn't have much to do with correctness, though, and it's is a common mistake when discussing correctness (a subject I have written extensively about https://pron.github.io/). I am not saying that eliminating a certain class of bugs is bad; it might actually be good (although it might also be bad), but it's far from simple. It is absolutely not the case that if one language eliminates a certain class of bugs and another one doesn't, then the first leads to more correct programs. This implication is just wrong, both in its internal logic as well as empirically. To get some intuition for why it's wrong, consider that when naively writing a program on paper, you introduce 100 bugs. When you actually program it, you must use a variety of methods, including tests to get rid of them. Now, if you use a language that eliminates 10 of them with its type system, it does not mean that given the same amount of effort, you'll catch more bugs in that language than the other. It's possible (indeed, we know it happens when we work with more powerful type systems like dependent types) that it's harder to write the program in the first language, and in the time it took you to eliminate those 10 bugs -- i.e. getting the program to compile -- you'll have found 20 in the other language. And it's certainly possible that overall there just wouldn't be much difference.

Again, I am not saying eliminating certain classes of bugs is bad. I am saying that it is absolutely not true that doing so is a certain path to better correctness.

In any event, Rust's type system does not directly increase functional correctness. It does eliminate some bugs that could cause functional correctness issues, but whether the approach's cost/benefit is significantly better or significantly worse than, say, Java or Python is very, very far from clear.
