I think as a corporate entity, they will never admit wrongdoing because they're terrified of lawsuits. As long as they never say "it was our fault", even if it was, I think that places (at least some of) the burden on the plaintiff in a wrongful death suit.

Boeing PR has been pushing these "oh no Boeing will have to halt production", with supposedly dire consequences for the whole US economy, for months. I have seen them at least 3 times now.

This is just another effort to pressure politicians and regulators to get the Max back in service.

It also shows yet again the sad state of media. This almost reads as a Boeing press release, lacking any reflection or substantial commentary.
>What if environment and fear of being an outcast/ridiculed for showing candor has them in a compliance state?

It goes further than being outcast. Having the wrong opinion on things can put your career and sometimes physical safety in jeopardy. With costs like that you will always have people hiding their true thoughts. I think one of the most important things to learn in life (for the individual) is to know how to hide what is not popular in your current company.
It was my fault, I was just trying.
The only sane outcome is clawing back .org from PIR, regardless of what they intend to do with it now. They've shown themselves to be bad stewards that view it as purely monetizable asset.

I apologise if you found my post difficult; that wasn’t my intention.

However, I do struggle to accept/believe that a relevantly qualified doctor, anywhere in the world, wouldn’t know what a PPI is. They aren’t new, they aren’t expensive, and they’re available worldwide. Honestly, every medical student would probably know about them.

Anyway, look for the medications named omeprazole, or lansoprazole, or pantoprazole. They’re PPIs. In many countries they’re even available over the counter. And (was together with a course of the correct antibiotics, where necessary) they cure ulcers.
I think in this case the test coverage metric would have been handy to find things that aren't being tested.

Manipulating Machine Learning Systems by Manipulating Training Data
A B Eng covers so much "basic" knowledge that you never really have time to specialize at anything. Doing physics and math courses is hardly becoming specialized in SE. It takes a long time and years of work afterwards to become specialized at something.

The good news is, you can do it without going back to school. IMO an SE will get little benefit out of going back for another degree. You'll get much more ROI spending your time contributing to OSS projects and making a name for yourself.

Adding on to this, in the context of a typical emulator, it's important that the other hardware be emulated mostly in lockstep with the CPU. Each time the 6502 reads or writes memory, the hardware registers it is talking to should be "caught up" so that things like video and audio signal timings work correctly. There are a bunch of different approaches to this depending on how accurate you want things to be, but the most straightforward is to just clock the components directly, one after the other. I have a function in RusticNES that clocks the CPU + APU, another that clocks the PPU, and since the PPU runs 3x as fast, a global clock function that looks like:

pub fn cycle(&mut self) {
cycle_cpu::run_one_clock(self);
self.master_clock = self.master_clock + 12;
// Three PPU clocks per every 1 CPU clock
self.ppu.clock(&mut *self.mapper);
self.ppu.clock(&mut *self.mapper);
self.ppu.clock(&mut *self.mapper);
self.apu.clock_apu(&mut *self.mapper);
}

This way, all of the emulated chips remain mostly synchronized with each other, but I don't bother to synchronize with the host until either the PPU is ready to draw a frame, or the APU has filled its audio buffer.

This approach uses the CPU cycle as the boundary, but there are other approaches to consider. You could run an entire opcode and then "catch up" the rest of the hardware (maybe easier to manage CPU state), or run entire scanlines at once. (Maybe easier to manage PPU state at first? The NES's PPU is well understood, but very tricky to emulate correctly.)

> A while after someone (which I can’t trace back) made an interesting (and equally brilliant) observation - there is a fourth option - unknown knowns - that is, things we don’t know we know. In most cases, that person pointed out, the category contains, things we actually know, but prefer to pretend that we don’t.

That's an interesting interpretation, though with a rather negative connotation.

I've also seen it described as unconscious competence, or the highest level of competence -- effortless mastery.

And that would matter if the goal of writing was maximizing information density. Surely you wouldn't say that gzip is the highest form of the written word.
I'm a regular reader of Ask a Manager (https://www.askamanager.org/), and one thing that comes up over and over is how both managers and employees will avoid awkward topics ranging from trivial ("your breath smells") to consequential ("you need to step up or you'll be fired!"), to the point of going to extremes like quitting the job, just to avoid having a genuine conversation with somebody.

And I'm guilty of this too. I used to work with a dude who did not brush his teeth and used to wear the same clothes for a week in a row -- and I don't think anybody ever said a word to him, they just edged away quietly.
The bit about unknown knowns does not make sense to me, also it seems to change the point of reference. It is referencing things from third party perspectives whereas the original ones are referencing from first party.

That is, you are talking other things other entities might not know about me that I know myself which makes them, from my point of reference, known knowns. And in the event that I don't know those things myself they just become unknown unknowns.

If you don't change goalposts and keep the point of reference constant, unknown knowns wouldn't exist.

Personally, if I actually had to define unknown known from the individual entity's point of reference it would most probably refer to derived or calculated values. For example, do I know the product of 171 and 342.45673. Do I know I could calculate it? Yes. But do I know it by head? No. Which means it is eventually a known but right now it's still unknown. But even that is a stretch of a definition.

I am convinced Rumsfeld's initial proposition covers the entire space of knowledge. Maybe you could give actual examples of unknown knowns from the individual's perspective.
Gdb won't watch errno, but will it watch the word at the address where the instance of errno for that thread lives?
I did a rotation at a wealthy Bay Area hospital where they routinely put stents in patients in their 80s. Thought of reporting them to medicaid for overbilling but most of the pts were private pay. Hospital has over $4 million dollars worth of art on the walls and a $500k koi pond in the lobby.
Personally I pick one new thing per personal project and leverage my skills on the rest. If I go too far into the new things then I get bored or flummoxed with say "buck build system" and "learn kotlin" in the same project, and never actually make progress.

I think this is why I bounced off of react 4 times before sticking, too many things to learn at once. Then again I bounced off of antlr 4 times and only really got it to stick because it was a work need, and antlr is the only new tool in that chain.
It's not realistic to expect to go to school for 4 or 5 years and then work for the next 30 without learning anything new. Or rather, not if you care about advancing and making more money. Maybe I'm lucky that I actually enjoy it, so it doesn't feel so much like work to me.

We don't really have this in 2019. All modern C compilers disable trigraphs by default, so you have to go out of your way to see this in person.

They only existed because really old terminals sometimes didn't have various punctuation characters used by C so they needed the ugly workaround so people trapped on those terminals wouldn't be left out in the cold.
I haven't put real thought into this, but it seems that in principle, given enough understanding of the runtimes, you can create good benchmarks of the collector. You would have to find patterns that force it to allocate/collect similar amounts of data, but that's doable.

However, to your point, so far as the languages tend to allocate more or less data on the heap, that might change which benchmarks look good, the same way that you'll care about different automotive benchmarks if you want to tow a trailer or race.
Agreed. I cannot stand news from major news sites. Good articles exist on smaller sites, where there is a legitimate attempt to cover something interesting in a thorough and well-researched manner (for example today I just read this: https://www.quantamagazine.org/to-decode-the-brain-scientist...). But good articles on mainstream sites are rare. Most of them just make me angry.

It used to be that I was just contemptuous of mainstream news and annoyed by bias. Apart from basic critical reasoning skills, back in 1998 I took a course on mass communication and learned a whole host of dirty tricks they use, and it's just gotten worse sense then. Now it's gotten to the point where it's maddening to see brazen deceptions promoted by mainstream sites, and just absolutely sickening and not a little bit terrifying to see this huge push toward "authoritative" news sources by the likes of YouTube and Facebook.

So, given that there's so little I can do to stop the onslaught of deceptive, grossly misleading propaganda, I try to ignore it for the sake of my own emotional health. (That includes Hacker News, which I rarely visit anymore)

Not really, this was not a software issue. As much as I dislike many current software engineering practices they seem to be 100% innocent here.

As far as we know the MCAS behaved exactly according to specifications. All of its flaws seem to be intentional (e.g. only using one AoA sensor, not being easy for the pilots to disable, not being explained to the pilots).
Doc Vader vs. Hospital Administrator
Nice article! Glad to see you recommending much of the equipment I have in my own lab. Something I'd highly recommend is the T-962A reflow oven with the modifications from here:

(especially removing the packing tape and replacing it with Kapton tape to avoid fumes!)

This oven has worked really well for me (as long as you don't overload it and leave plenty of space for airflow).

Also, the Sparkfun 303D hot air rework station is pretty damn good:

>I thought ICANN was supposed to be the good guys?

You could say that about every government, yet there's widespread corruption in most (or all) countries[1]. There's even corruption in democratic governments that are directly accountable to their citizens every few years (via elections). Given the way the ICANN board is appointed is... indirect at best, thinking that ICANN are the "good guys" is wishful thinking at best.

Asshole AI?
My impression is that it hits data entry clerks a lot harder than programmers. Programmers end up having to stop and take breaks frequently to think about what they're doing.

A thought occurs: Are RSI issues worse with enterprise Java programmers and other people who end up having to write tons of boilerplate around all of their code?
> Another risk that is not generally discussed is that the mindful techniques used to alter thought patterns or suppress thoughts can backfire in a huge number of different ways. Suppressing negative thoughts can just as easily unintentionally suppress coping mechanism, amongst other things.

What's the link between mindfulness and suppression of thought? Mindfulness is a specific state of awareness. Mindfulness techniques promote this state of awareness.

I'm not aware of any mindfulness techniques that promote the suppression of thought, and if I was I'd say they were misnamed.

It looks like people are getting confusing between using SHA256 directly as a key stretching mechanism, and what PBKDF2-SHA256 is.

Given Bitwarden allows almost 10x that, not sure I see the issue.

This continuing privatization of public goods is unconscionable and the leadership of ICANN should be held to account.
The Corvair was actually made safe at the end of the first generation and throughout the second generation rear suspension. The snap understeer of the 1960-1963 models wasn't especially unsafe, especially in relation to numerous Porsche 911 models that were released during and after the Corvair.

GM's choice to recommend lower inflation pressures for the tires vs installing an anti-sway bar for the first gen cars with swing axle rear suspension (2nd gen was IRS) was rather stupid but it's nothing compared to the 737 MAX.

Do you think that real analysis and measure theory helped you get a better grip on the notion of a r.v. than just the simple function from sample space to real line definition? I'm slightly tempted to take or at least try to self-study real analysis and eventually measure theory, but everyone I know (including profs) has told me not to bother if I'm not going to do theoretical stuff.
Article misses the important and interesting question of which countries/empires it’s actually true of.

From a quick look at a map, I suspect it must still be true of Britain and France, which maintain territories (albeit small) in the Indian and Pacific oceans in addition to their homelands. It doesn’t seem to be true of the US, though, which has a huge gap across the Atlantic and Eurasia from Puerto Rico to Guam.
Ask HN: Which is the best book on nutrition?
I wanted to read a book on nutrition which is backed by extensive research and is easily readable by a common person so that he/she can make changes in his/her lifestyle (especially vegetarian). Most of times, they are contradictory views related to diet and food we consume even in the top 10 results of google. I understand that diet is something which is dependent on person to person, but some universal truths like don't mix sour foods with dairy always work.
This would help a lot, rather than me reading every other blog on which food combinations do not go well together, or is dairy good, is keto diet healthy, is plant-based diet better than others etc.

3. Give free lifetime registration to any org stakeholder that redirects their domain to the `.or` version and/or displays a banner about PIR's malfeasance.

4. Any new `.org` registrants are barred from registering a `.or`

5. Buy back `.org` when it becomes worthless and give it back to the stakeholders.
