I disagree with a lot of the talk in the flight simulation community that always runs along the lines of "MSFS is a game with nice visuals, use X-Plane if you want a real simulator". I've used X-Plane for many years prior to FS2020 being released, both for legal currency as well as learning the inside out of complex types I haven't flown.

I'm a US certified commercial pilot and have been using simulators since the early 90s.

Regarding #1, the only approaches I've noticed that aren't in the simulator are some RNAV approaches to smaller airports. Are you seeing otherwise? If you need those now, Navigraph seems like a solution.

MSFS is a technological tour de force that has only been out now for 1/2 a year. X-Plane has been around for decades, which is why things like the G1000 are more reliable at the moment.

Aircraft like the newly released Aerosoft CRJ show the potential in the sim, and this is with the developer only having their hands on the SDK for a short period of time.

For developers reading this, a peek at the SDK is interesting. They are using modern techniques throughout the simulator, such as using WASM along with HTML/CSS/JS for gauges, among many other interesting choices.

Docomo is a carrier and just selling devices made by OEM (like Huawei), so not a manufacturer. Panasonic is abandoned long ago.

If this was true why do people send kids to school? They can drop them off at the library and let them transform themselves by themselves. Any half baked library has enough info to keep you occupied on any subject you want for your entire life. But rarely does it lead to transformation which is why we end up with schools.

People confuse information access with learning. Effective learning, esp for the 6 inch chimp brain wondering around in a dark jungle, always requires a teacher. Someone who is constantly providing feedback to keep the chimp on track, pointing out how to correct blundering, which paths are dead ends, which paths are worth exploring etc etc etc.

Where things start breaking down is the availability of high quality teachers, guides, mentors, coaches etc
> the price would have to be increased such that it is acceptable for a driver to take the risk/damage of a service animal to their vehicle

IMO the huge corporation making outsized profits is in the best position to absorb the increased cost, so if you mean Uber should pay their driver more and eat the loss, I agree.

If you mean the disabled person should pay more, I don’t agree. Accommodating outliers with disabilities is one of the very few things a huge company can do better than a small business. It should be expected of them IMO.
Apologies, forgot this was a libertarian echo chamber.
> You can have instant access to information, but processing can still take time.

You likely have processing power in your pocket. With efficient brain-to-computer and computer-to-brain interfaces, the processing part could be taken care of too; just externalized.

We would probably end up being a lot _worse_ at things like arithmetic though, since we'd use external processing for even more things (I do believe we're already loosing in things like memory and simple processing by having access to a smartphone at all times).
Off topic but is there a good guide to middle level home network setup - something like using OpenWRT on (Rpis?) and turning that into a router and couple of access points.

Probably very little. My guess is he learned WordStar well, likes it, and is too comfortable with it want to "upgrade."

> Keyboard shortcuts and lack of distracting internet can also be worked around (emacs has a WordStar compatibility mode because of course it does; it even models WordStar's marker system).

Spending a bunch of time and effort to find a new tool that works just like your familiar tool seems like more of a techy thing. A lot of people just take the if it ain't broke, don't fix it approach.

> Sure, this takes a small amount of setup but it's not as if maintaining museum-grade hardware/software is hassle-free either. But using DOS and WordStar _is_ a conversation starter and subtly signals that you're important enough of a writer that your publisher will bend over backwards to accommodate you.

Stock Android UI is ugly? Now that's a first.

I've harbored the suspicion those who prefer "theming" their phones are not detail oriented. That or they're fine with the trade-offs.

For example I've always noticed inconsistencies and jankiness with anything that's not close to stock Android. Be it Samsung's TouchWiz or others, all are like a cheap veneer of dross over stock Android. They all just feel so tacky.

WebOS introduced the concept of cards for multitasking, and that you could swipe a card away to close the app. This is exactly his iOS implements multitasking today.

I also remember the really natural way that Palm let you ignore an phone call by placing the phone face down to silence a call you didn’t want to pick up.

I have enjoyed perusing this in the past, but when I see the word "typographer" split across two lines as "ty" and "pographer" [1] in the first paragraph of the "Typography in ten minutes" page, [2] it gives me pause. What is the point of having two letters (especially these two, which do not form a morpheme) on the first line?

I find this to impair readability and not to enhance aesthetics in any meaningful way. Is there something I'm missing?

I believe why Google choose mid SoC in 2020 is because of Snapdragon 865 doesn't have integrated modem but requires external 5G modem. It makes phone design difficult and bad for battery life.
Cache invalidation isn’t hard, it’s just where hard things show up for easy problems. Cache invalidation in a nutshell:

For some given memory constraint, give me the same result with lookup performance for known inputs.

That’s not hard because of memory constraints (excepting very specialized use cases), that’s hard because the things that benefit from caching usually have implicit inputs. You’re trying to cache “database query” where “database” has other stuff mutating state. You’re not caching the call, you’re caching the side effects it depends on.

This use case is trivially solved if you plan for it. Use the algorithms from a history based system. Caching the state of a given object in git is easy: its cache is its hash. Either that part of the tree changed or it didn’t.

The key is to remove implicit dependencies from your cache path. Everything that you cache states its dependencies, anything that changes in them reports back.

You can get more specific than that for finer grained control but we’re already well past invalidation being the hard problem. It’s just dependency granularity.
I definitely remember hearing the phrase "killer app" plenty of times in the early 2000s, and Macworld definitely shortened "application" to "app" frequently in the late 90s and early 2000s.

>You have this backwards.

No, I don't. Mobile phones are immensely more capable than computers 30 years ago, but IRC doesn't handle transient connections well. When your phone goes to sleep the connection drops. Sometimes when you change cell towers the connection drops. Modern users expect a slack-/discord-like "always in the channel" experience, with push notifications, which IRC does not provide.

Also the initial home screen paradigm is completely same as PalmOS, sans the categories.

Heck, even the notification screen and widgets screen is an evolution of the Today.prc from PalmOS days.

I need to play with my LifeDrive more. I miss that beast.

Also, Graffiti was the best on-screen ink implementation. Change my mind. :D

Fun fact: Palm's latest phone copies iWatch's user interface to a phone interface and makes it usable on a bigger device, it's both fun and awesome in so many levels if you ask me.
Are deep neural networks dramatically overfitted? (2019)
Being careful is always good, but the dangers are overestimated and the benefits underestimated, by most people.

In terms of security, you could solve 80% of problems you mention by a hardware onoff switch, which would cost next to nothing. A large part of rest of the problems could be solved by limiting the information flow into a certain format/context: imagine just a 4K screen inside your mind that you can look at if you wish, but you always know that information comes from that screen and not from somewhere else. Even just such a dumb usage would be tremendous upgrade to humans everywhere. How do we know it won't give you any "thoughts"? Just limit the information flow to pixels. The interface won't even know what information you look at your internal screen, the most mischievous thing it will be able to do is to maybe make things black-and-white, or make something flicker in an annoying manner.
Whatever existed prior to life probably had life-like qualities, but couldn't fully meet the criteria, e.g., viruses. So even 0 nucleotides could make sense, if this prototypical organism had other features, and at some point, nucleotides arrived later.

"Most people don't know that we have an insane policy whereby the first generic drug applicant receives an extended period of market exclusivity."

The US has some of the lowest cost generics in developed nations - prices tend to be lower than the EU. The US has some of the highest generic drug penetration of developed nations. [1] That's because of things like the 180 generic drug exclusivity and mandatory generic substitution laws.

The 180 exclusivity is a big part of that. If you open the flood gates to any generic manufacturer, the margins disappear so quickly that some manufacturers won't even bother to try. By dangling a massive carrot whereby the generic manufacturers can quickly recoup costs and make a large profit, it drives generic companies to compete to the enter the market.

When Lipitor went off patent, eleven generic companies entered the market and prices dropped 95%.

The US generic market is one of the best functioning in the world.

Epub is ok, but it has no support for math equations (practically all implementations just dump them into raster images) and HTML's typography leaves much to be desired.

There are plenty of good reasons why TeX and LaTeX are still the workhorse of scientific publishing in spite of the emphasis on fixed format layouts.
What? This post didn't really make sense to me - sorry if I'm misunderstanding.

Furthermore the article you linked is from a tabloid.
Correct. Although I don't read everything on startup. Some of the data (e.g. per user data) is only loaded once it's needed.

Also, the swap doesn't make everything slower as long as my active working set is smaller than the available RAM. That is, I have more data loaded into "memory" than I have RAM, but I'm not using all of it all the time, so things are still fast. It's basically an OS managed database. (If I were using a normal SQL database I'd get a similar behavior where actively used data would sit in RAM and less used data would be read from the disk.)
Basically all of the chip startups from the last 20 years are fabless, including the ones that this article is referring to ("high" capital costs in the $tens-of-millions vs. $billions)

LG phones have often suffered from a number of issues: really poor displays (bad calibration and/or poor power profiles due to LG's in-house displays lagging far behind); poor camera hardware and software (Samsung has definitely made a number of missteps in this area, but LG blew it generation after generation); and bad battery life. I agree that Samsung has the upper hand (and gets the benefit of the doubt) through massive mindshare, but it's not as if LG has been churning out better quality phones year after year and not getting any traction.

Roughly 36,000 traffic fatalities in US each year. My own friends and family have died senselessly in their youth. Why FSD isn't a societal priority is shocking to me, given the amount of political effort spent demonizing various things which in truth are far less deadly than human-driven cars.

Similar to some others here, I have folders full of PDFs. I recently discovered Recoll, which is great for searching them. Fuzzy search of contents as well as filenames.

https://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/

As well as this, I have a script which find all .pdf files without a corresponding .txt file, then generates one with pdftotext. Really handy, I can then easily grep -ril or ag -til for contents. One gotcha: the text files have line breaks, meaning matches don't always work.

The word hardware does a lot of work here for them. Technically the car has the hardware required for the features described, that does not mean it has the software yet, in fact the software demonstrably is not there yet and that is why the word hardware is in there. The implication is they can be upgraded to FSD in future with a software update.

Well look at something that might change your mind: there is this device called Muse headband that actually uses your brain signals to help you meditate. Meditation is a tool of mindfulness, and with some progress it helps exactly that: control and know your own thoughts.

So already at this (primitive) iteration of tech there is a device that connects to your brain and helps you do something, something that you would find very useful no less, if your goal is to learn to operate your brain in the best way possible. Now this is even possible with this (primitive) iteration of this tech. The effectiveness is reported by a lot of people, and it is also calibrated on tibetan monks who meditate for a living. There is also a similar institutional device with more thorough processes called "40 years of zen" (but you have to go to a laboratory).

Now imagine what the next iteration would make possible, and for example how good would a device like this be if it could actually read direct signals from the brain instead of having to read them through the skin?
In the german town of Münster exists a local dialect called Masematte, historically only spoken in some of the towns districts and with a influence from Yiddish. Some words are still very common and in use.

I have a 2020 Hyundai, top spec but still just a Hyundai. It has great lane departure warning and it's very accurate. It picks up the difference between solid/double/broken white lines and lane changing/merging/splitting. We took it around a local race track and it followed the track markings on everything but a hairpin which it applies brakes and took us to a complete stop. If it wasn't for the driver attention settings (no steering wheel feedback from driver, the car will also stop) it could have almost been an unassisted drive.

Still won't trust it though
My experience with a road trip rental of a 2020 RAV4 is exactly the same as what you describe.

The ACC was great, and very useful in both high-speed traffic and stop-and-go traffic.

But the lane-center tech was useless, regardless of the road conditions. Even with full sunlight and freshly-painted lines, it didn't work reliably.

When I was test driving a RAV4, the dealer told me not to use the lane-centering when in the slow lane, allegedly because people are coming and going a lot. But it was clear that the real problem was that it would keep you centered even as the line on the right veered off for an exit, which would drive you right into an overpass.
It's not meant to be insulting, it's just based on the numbers. 81% of Federal and State spending is allocated to highways, 19% to all other transit. 61% of local funding, too [1].

American governments tend to prioritize investment and spending for individual transportation over public transportation. The numbers get really crazy when you actually factor in the costs associated with 'free parking' - including requirements that new developments include a minimum amount of parking spots for each housing unit - and all the other subsidies car transportation enjoys.

[edit] > Being willing to invest is irrelevant, unless you think investing in something that makes people worse off is a no-brainer.

The thing is, public transportation isn't meant to be necessarily cost effective or even in all cases fuel efficient at the point of service, it levels the playing field. Poor folks currently have to buy a car to get to work. That's a huge investment in a depreciating asset at usurious interest rates. Public transportation reduces inequality and bolsters the economy indirectly, too.

This sort of behaviour makes me very wary of attracting any serious attention on the internet.

I recently purged a lot of information from my public profiles, and replaced my name to make them harder to associate with me. Even then, I'm required by law to list my full name, full phone number and full address on the monetised website I run.

My activity on a moderately sized city subreddit was enough. People made very vile, personal comments over petty things, and made throwaway accounts to harass me across threads. One took a liking to answering unrelated comments with my full name. I've seen people dig up mental health issues from other people's post history because of petty disagreements.

This sort of behaviour makes me more and more reluctant to participate online. People forgot how it feels to be punched in the face, and behave in appalling ways.
