"- A component of the main electric trim system became inoperative. Our pilots ran the appropriate checklist, which included manually trimming the aircraft. They returned to MIA and landed uneventfully. The issue was not related to MCAS."

I don't get it. It is common for other airliners to rely systematically on trimming? Do other airliners have similar 'correcting' systems as MCAS?

I think best is find a job that uses your current skills plus those you want in the new.

Find a company that supports transition. 1) Often big companies will be more supportive of internal transition if they know you and understand your a hard, intelligent worker etc that will pick things up fast. Plus if you have a personal know relationship with the team. 2) Often smaller companies are better for allowing cross-skilled jobs as they dont have a cog for every role type thing. Your 80% your main skill but do 20% in the other while you build skills 3) Consultant/agency type role that employees you for your main skill but will let you do a bit in the new.

Otherwise its training and start at the bottom I guess.

TV are a perfect example as to way I believe the free market has failed. Normally you’d expect one or two TV makers to have noticed a growing concern regarding smart-tvs and started to cater to that part of the market.

I understand that those of us who would pay a premium for a dumb TV are a minority, but it seems like there’s enough of us to justify at least a few models.

The singularity is all about owning the means of production. No matter how intelligent a machine, if it cannot physically replicate itself, then it cannot indefinitely overpower humans. For a machine to trigger "the singularity" it must own the entire supply chain of its own self and it must not be dependent on humans to any extent.

Humans will use AI to destroy each other long before AI uses itself to destroy humans.

Most years I go to Yosemite at the end of tourist season to clean up (part of Facelift). Cleaning human waste is one of the least desirable tasks, but even apart from that the amount of lost and explicitly discarded crud is enormous. That's practically the only time I visit a national park at all.

The major parks are in some really really nice spots. And yes, they are quite heavily developed, but they are also relatively accessible.

They are also a tiny part of the wilderness owned by the federal government. Undeveloped BLM land is easy to get to and has few rules. Ironically because of that many of the visitors who travel more than a short distance from the roads are responsible (perhaps not the ATVers and snowmobilers...but they do deserve to have fun too). But you have to be responsible because there is none of the support infrastructure provided in parks. If you get into trouble you're likely on your own.

I don't really like the curated experience of the parks but I am glad it's there. And for some folks, it's a "gateway drug" to the wilder outdoors. Great!
Maybe, not sure any laws were broken here though, would be interesting to know if there are laws covering it.

You can use `<foreignObject>`[1] in your SVGs to wrap text inside a nice HTML rendering (with word wrapping and other superpowers). However I’ve found that there is always some issues (e.g. I need the graph to shrink in the inline direction when text is longer then X; or this rect should flow lower when I have multiple lines). I’ve never actually found my self using <foreignObject> in the SVG diagrams I write, and usually just listen to a resize event and manipulate everything that way (shrug).

>The same is not true of child sexual abuse, where the typical consumer does have a mental illness that compels them to sexualize children.

You imply that a big number of people that consume that media (I think the other guy said there are a lot of them in Japan) are sexual abusers. Can you prove this?

If not and you strongly believe in this assumption and the cause I think it should be provable, since there is a large number of consumers, located in certain regions, there should be some increase in crimes when this kind of content was released. Then after we have the proof we can write a paper, get it published, get it criticized and reproduced and then it should be easy to make the content illegal, we use the "think of the children" and politicians won't dare not to support it.

The only issue in the plan is if your assumption is wrong, and there is no statistical effect of the content on the large number of consumers.

If you want to try this plan, probably find someone that is an expert in the domain, someone at a university. maybe one of those scientists that studied video games violence/
Early C compilers were non-optimizing compilers because C is among the hardest languages to optimize, not because the hardware was limited. Frances Allen described C as a "serious regression" in language design which "destroyed our ability to advance the state of the art in automatic optimization" because of how its semantics blocked most known optimizing transformations.
Your specific example is an exception to the "rule". The em measure is relative to the font size of the last containing element that specified an explicit font size. So with a heading, a 1em x 1em icon makes sense because it'll be the height of the container h1 element (which you set as 1.5rem).

The rem unit is relative to the base document font size. Your icon in an h1 set to 1rem x 1rem would be sized relative to the body's base font size. In your example a 1rem icon would be .66 the size of your h1.

When you use rem units consistently their size is more predictable throughout the document. If you've got a complicated stylesheet overriding sizes all over the place em units can end up inconsistently sized and tricky debug. I've seen rems recommended for probably the past ten years or so.
Sure I agree with that completely. But firstly that wouldn’t solve the issue for developers as then the arguments will just shift that other app stores should come preinatalled and later will shift it again (developers will never be happy with any percentage but also the review process does cost money, in app transactions infra as well), and secondly it increases the attack surface for scams (just watching on YouTube how old ppl get scammed makes me a bit uneasy that my parents are getting close to that age). Thirdly I think Google search is a very good example. Do you remember back in the day all those installers that had toolbars and would change your default search engine? I just don’t want us to open the door to anything remotely like that.

Honestly I think if maybe allow sideloading is an a setting available only for the iCloud family organiser to enable that mitigate most of my use cases.

> but what about upsides?

I don't know much about Go, and I'm one of those people who mostly sees the downsides, so I guess I'll ask you about one of my biggest issues with the language (in the hopes of broadening my perspective on this): what is the upside of returning a value and error, rather than a value or an error? Or I guess, more precisely, why is that the default and only way to do things [1]?

For context, I'm a big fan of explicit errors and errors as values over exceptions as a general principle: my preferred language is Haskell, where Either (essentially Result) is the main way to doing error handling, and exceptions are very rarely used.

[1] - I can see a few cases where returning both is useful, but I can't see it being what I want most of the time

I use VsCode+Sublime the same way you use PyCharm+Sublime. Vscode feels like a heavier ide to me with all the extension 8 have set up, but Sublime has always been quick, lightweight, and able to handle anything. Whether that's note-taking, skimming a hex dump, looking at arbitrary Csv's I've always been happy.

Although maybe I'm biased ever since Sublime introduced me to the concept of multiple cursors. It's so engrained now that it's the first thing I change on a fresh vscode install

I can't recall a time in my adult life when it was reliable and reasonable to expect respect as a norm. However the vitriol in the US seems to have risen over the last 20, maybe more, years.

These days I really do expect disrespect, at least to stand out as the perceived norm due to how much more common it seems to be. (It isn't really that common, but if you're in a crowd every day over a year, several hundred different people across a couple hundred days, statistics catches up!)

> I.Q. represents the idea that intelligence can be usefully captured by a single number, this idea being one of the assumptions made by proponents of an intelligence explosion.

I think it's not a load bearing assumption for the intelligence explosion hypothesis, but just a premise that allows the notion of "more intelligent than" to be meaningfully expressed, for the sake of having a conversation about this idea. (Comparisons imply some way of ordering things, even if those things are nebulous and multidimensional concepts).

> For example, it’s entirely possible that the best that a person with an I.Q. of 300 can do is increase another person’s I.Q. to 200. That would allow one person with an I.Q. of 300 to grant everyone around them an I.Q. of 200, which frankly would be an amazing accomplishment. But that would still leave us at a plateau; there would be no recursive self-improvement and no intelligence explosion.

When it's phrased in terms of increasing the intelligence of already-living people, that makes it sound harder than when you phrase it as building a new thing that's better at building than the thing that built it. We can, for example, make machine tools that are faster or more accurate than the machine tools we make them with.

I think the premise of an intelligence explosion usually starts with human programmers creating an AI that is at least slightly better than they are themselves, at at least the task of AI programming. If the author subscribes to the refutation that I quoted, then I think it follows that they also wouldn't believe this premise is possible to begin with.

Perhaps they'd also be brave enough to say what other things they don't think an AI will ever be better than humans at? Perhaps starting with the least impressive tasks, so we'll find out sooner if the predictions are correct?

> This ability of humans to build on one another’s work is precisely why I don’t believe that running a human-equivalent A.I. program for a hundred years in isolation is a good way to produce major breakthroughs.

As the saying goes, if I'm going to spend ten hours cutting down trees, I'd spend nine of them sharpening my axe. Just as a society of humans can develop tools to improve their capabilities, so can a single human, as the author's own example of Isaac Newton shows. If the AI is going to be locked in isolation for a hundred years to write software, why doesn't the author think it will spend some of that time on tools to improve its own productivity?
Yeap. The electric trim systems tend to be automatic with speed and altitude to approximate what the pilot wants via trim up/down controls. Without trim, planes would be pitching and diving all over the place, or at least require yoke/sidestick back-pressure to hold steady. Some planes can be trimmed through enormous deflections of the horizontal stabilizer. If configured incorrectly and under the wrong conditions, incorrect trim can lead to dangerous flight characteristics like pitching up or down beyond what the elevators can handle at full deflection. A broken jackscrew (part that moves the horizontal stabilizer for the trim commands) can cause this type of dangerous configuration or even worse.
One thing that has always bothered me about how MCAS was implemented - if it truly was a stick force gradient issue, why not make the change in the Elevator Differential Feel Computer, which already manipulates the stick force gradient during approach to stall, rather than physically moving a control surface? Aside note, the elevator feel computer is a mechanical / non-electronic computer that is stuffed full of aneroids and solenoids and cams and followers and servovalves. Straight out of the 1950’s.
That's precisely the point. Infiltrate me and a group of other people that have nothing going on, as long as I'm wasting your time I'm doing my part in protecting a tiny bit those who lack freedom.

I think it just takes a really powerful single AGI that can convince other humans, impersonate them, do things that is super-human level and we can't even conceive it or imagine it (think how far a chimp is from AWS load balancer documentation), think 10,000,000 times smarter than any tactic or possibility we can currently imagine and then we're in for a ride.

It is actually quite terrifying to imagine yourself as sub-human. Equally, it is terrifying to think about super-human capabilities.

The fact it wasn’t MCAS really isn’t important. What is important is that Boeing has completely botched the development of this aircraft and this continues to be revealed to us in new ways over and over again. It’s a management issue through and through.

Ask HN: Why is Smalltalk OOP, but C++ not (according to Alan Kay's definition)?
I know that Alan Kay is the one who coined the term Object Oriented Programming and I know that Smalltalk is considered to be one of the languages that falls within the definition of Alan Kay's OOP.
I heard Jonathan Blow talking about how C++ is not really an OOP language in a sense that it doesn't comply with the definition of OOP by Alan Kay.

Is it possible for anyone to explain this? Any references are welcomed as well. Thanks

For people who just need a queue, Kafka is a bit like using Kubernetes to run a single Docker container.

Typically the goal is to architect the system such that you don't really care. If it's stateful, there's some other replica. Promote that and then spin up a new replica from a backup and roll it forward. If it's stateless then just kill it and spin up another.

note that i'm specific about hipsters because it seems to happen in a few waves.

the first wave are the originals that start something, usually through serious means (ie, through literature, serious study, or whatever - think jimi hendrix right before monterrey)

the second wave is the hipster wave, where a bunch of people who see something cool/new want to capitalize on such new things.

the third wave is the mainstream wave, where now it's just a complete joke, who followed the hipsters because they told them it was the cool new fad.

when in reality, we should be in the first wave all the time, and THAT is what should be mainstream.

First, let me just push back on the overall idea here: if your philosophy for how the web should work and what features are worth supporting is solely based on Chrome's default behavior, that's not a philosophy I want to encourage on the web, and I'm less inclined to listen to your ideas about what the web should and shouldn't do.

But whatever, that doesn't matter because Firefox also isn't the only browser that has text scaling. If you go into accessibility options for the current up-to-date Chrome browser on Android, there are 4 options you'll see:

- Text scaling

- Force pages to allow pinch-zoom

- Request simplified views

- Enable captions

What you won't see is a default full-page zoom option.

Not only does Chrome's text scaling option not uniformly do a full-page zoom, it also appears in my tests to selectively target and resize fonts only in certain elements on the page based on whatever unspecified algorithm Google is using to decide what does and doesn't count as a "paragraph". This means that as a designer you're not just being forced to handle multiple font sizes when you lay out a mobile site, you're also being forced to handle font sizes that scale non-uniformly across your page.

Are we going to argue whether the accessibility options in the default Android web browser are a bubble? I don't see what data people have that is making them so confident that nobody uses text scaling, because as far as I can see text scaling is a feature in every mainstream browser and is predominantly advertised on mobile devices. Is it really, genuinely weird that some people might take advantage of it?
