The "question" is just rhetorical, asking for confirmation of the worst possible way to interpret something. As such, it's close to the definition of assuming bad faith, and itself hard to interpret as an attempt to resolve anything constructively.

Unfortunately, the 26.5kg empty weight they specify is the bare airframe. That means it excludes the engine, VTOL powertrain (motors + escs + props), general wiring/electronics and VTOL batteries.

Their quoted "25kg" payload is likely about right for a shorter flight.

I completely agree. I recently decided to try learning Vulkan. I built an sdl window framework and got an OpenGL triangle in maybe 6 lines of OpenGL code. For vulkan you literally cannot draw anything until your reimplement an entire rendering engine from probing hardware, to figuring out queuing strategies, and resource management, etc. you are forced to focus your on HOW rather than WHAT to draw. I think they set the barrier of entry way too high. From a newbie perspective I’d rather have the library make smart decisions by default so I can just init and draw. But if I wanted to do more I could.
> Extension spaghetti for starters

Extensions are a PITA to deal with, but they generally represent real disparate hardware features offered by individual GPUs which varies by manufacturer, model, and date. This reminds me of CPU features like SSE2, AVX, AES, etc, etc which general-purpose binary programs are forced to query for at runtime to either take advantage of or fall back to a software implementation. But GPUs have even more architectural change velocity than CPUs.

It seems like a hard problem in general. How do you think this could be done better?

For what it's worth, the tone you struck in the submission here would have resulted in a removal of your comment on any platform I've moderated in my years on the Internet.

Constructive criticism is completely fair, but your entitled tone both on GitHub and here on HN, is inappropriate. I'm not at all surprised your issue was removed and you were banned temporarily.

Honestly, what are you trying to accomplish here? I'm struggling to see how any of this could be construed as "constructive" at this point, and I'd be surprised if this HN submission doesn't get flagged out shortly.
100%.

I've largely been focused on implementing recommendations from a PERF report on Chicago homicide investigations [0] after years of attrition in the Bureau of Detectives collided with a massive spike in violent crime (in 2016, following the Laquan McDonald murder). My main projects have centered on developing CPD's capacity for recovering video evidence (mainly CCTV) in homicide and shooting cases, as well as teaching a special detail of detectives how to convert footage from proprietary codecs to standard codecs in a forensically sounds way (so that the footage can actually be viewed by less technologically savvy detectives and assistant state's attorney's). You can view seeking-to-identify focused samples of collected footage on CPD's YouTube channel [1] (although these are not representative of the breadth of footage now collected on each homicide). It's not as polished as LAPD's productions [2], but that's to be expected considering the well developed entertainment and digital media workforce in LA.

Although I do want to praise Chicago for it's willingness to make data available publicly. I had been pushing for years to get shooting data posted publicly and we just got that added to the data portal in May [3]. Additionally, the Cook County State's Attorneys Office puts a lot of their case data on the CCSAO data portal [4]. These are only a tiny fraction of the tables in CPD's or CCSAO's respective data warehouses, but as far as public data ecosystems go, Chicago's is the least bad I've worked with of major US cities. Working with LAPD's or NYPD's open data is a real pain.

> The concept of applications seemed about right for them. But opening the dreaded File Explorer and swim through drive letters, virtual and real folders, having to be well organized, having to worry about backups of specific folders, etc... was (and still is) a daunting task for them.

Dude, I grew up with computers in the mid-90s and that's all a daunting task for me, too. In fact, it may be WORSE for me than for a "blank slate".

I had switched to Linux on my personal machines for a number of years and then tried to help someone with a computer issue they were having with their Windows computer- I had NO IDEA where their "Pictures" folder was, or why I kept seeing the same file in multiple places as I clicked around the file explorer. I also feel like I was confused about something to do with "Desktop", but I don't quite recall what it was. It was honestly pretty disorienting- I thought I was in a weird carnival house of mirrors.

I don't honestly know --right now-- if you can save a file to one of these virtual "Pictures" places or not. Or, if you do, where it would actually go.
I don't see this as a bad thing. Shell scripts are a great way to prototype text processing pipelines using multiple smaller components.
@antisol You are submitting internet drama you generated to HN. You are using their issue tracker space to call developers scumbags. Looks pretty toxic to me.
This is awesome. My sister told me about this film/episode like maybe more than 20 years ago. Pre-internet era, so I could not search for it back then. I had even forgotten about it until now. I've never seen the episode but now thanks to you I'll be able to watch it.

Much obliged!

p.s I'm surprised the memory was still in my head considering I probably have not thought about it since my sister told me about it.

I think the point of GP is that you are not helping yourself here. I think it is evident from the initial reaction here on HN that you are throwing away much of the goodwill of many who would have supported your position in the first place.
Acceptance of surveillance parallels acceptance of war in earlier societies. People generally believed that war is bad, but also necessary, and there is no way to go without it. But the example of war also shows how wrong that belief might be. In the same way, the surveillance might not be a technological inevitability, just like war isn't.
“This is a moment of American exceptionalism,” - Jen Psaki, is she critisizing him or praising him? I find that statement extremely clever.
The benefit of changes straddling repositories is having separation of control.

For example different npm (cargo, etc) packages are controlled by different entities. Semver is used to (loosely) account for compatibility issues and allow for rolling updates.

A single company requiring multiple repositories for control reasons might be an antipattern and might indicate issues with alignment/etc.
That's not a legitimate question where an answer was expected. That was a statement formed into a question.

Responses to this have been interesting...

There is a lot of evidence that humans are over agressively pattern matchers. Another poster pointed out some examples like the limitations of human vision (there is a hole in your vision that your brain fills in with whatever is thinks is there for example). Look up cognitive biases sometimes, or any old optical illusion. Those are just the fun edge cases where you get to see examples of the lies the over agressively pattern matchers of your sensorium tell you.

I didn't expect this to be controversial. It is a basic assumption of my life that what I perceive is only roughly correlated with "the truth".

Really I meant this as a statement about machine learning doing whatever it's fitness function tells it to, and that the fitness function we select only hopefully correlates with reality.
Mass production allows for more optimization than small production runs. Modern cars can go a long time with minimal maintenance, but it took a lot of R&D to reach that point.

The most successful small aircraft the Cessna 172 Skyhawk has averaged than 1,000 produced per year and runs ~400,000$ new. They could easily drop that to under 100k with modest levels of automation, but can’t justify automation with current levels of demand. Similarly only minimal levels of R&D is worth is at when the market is tiny.

It’s even worse in the Helicopter market. Presumably someone designing a flying car is going to take the R&D and automation risks assuming they will pay for themselves.

Sure, dude. This is a really constructive way to behave.
Big potential source of income here. The supercharger network stands head and shoulders above every other charging network in the US.

Some key advantages include: reliability, convenience, ubiquity, and location. I've never been to a supercharger with more than one broken stall, they all "just work". I've also tried other options, but I've actually never found one that was operational at the time.
Because if they’re associated with criminal behaviour then they’re likely to be avoided by ordinary folks.

Raising awareness of censorship
If I thought that telemetry was no big deal, and my response to you was "stop being such a cry baby and get a life", you'd probably and quite rightly take offence.

In order to have a civil discussion about issues which can be emotive, one has to keep their feelings "in check" and put themselves in the other side's shoes. Even if you disagree, you don't need to resort to name calling.
> Glacier/Deep is good, but with the 180-day minimum object lifetime, you want to be sure that the data is ready to go into the archive before pushing it there.

One of my (to be implemented) backup strategies was to use Glacier Deep Archive as last-resort recovery, and just stick yearly tarballs (e.g. 2018, 2019, 2020) in there. That should save me a bit on retrieval requests as well.
> society has clearly chosen transparency over privacy

No more than America has chosen the 1% over 99%; or white lives over black.

The gov says "laundering, terrorism" in the same way it says "terrorism, paedophiles" in other civil liberties cases.

Then explanation of why a government should tax its citizens is usually the fact that those citizens use that countries infrastructure to make money, so that country should take "it's" cut.

But many countries now want to tax CG on cyber currencies that has nothing to do with any of that countries infrastructure. Why should a system of value that exists entirely without the support of the EU require a payment to the EU?

> You can’t show up in a bank with a bucket load of $100 bills and open an anonymous bank account. Well you shouldn’t be able to with bitcoins either.

Why? bills are backed by the country and legal tender as a result - BTC isn't. Bank accounts, and banks themselves, are nationally regulated w/ consumer protections - BTC wallets aren't. How are these two things similar at all?

A quote from the BMJ article that is the basis for the NPR article:

> Long before covid-19, the US was at a disadvantage relative to other high income nations in terms of health and survival

The US spends a lot more on healthcare than similar countries, but it gets results that are substantially worse. Providing good healthcare for its should be a responsibility for any country. The US does not score very well on this metric.

Who cares about space? It's one of those things politicians trot out that captures the imagination of the masses.

We have serious problems here on earth, most caused by the problems in the human psyche. In here, not out there.

Wouldn't you still have to do the iterative thing to avoid temporary outages during deployments? Or do you try to synchronize all deployments?
Exactly. Disagreement, even a stronge disagreement with peoples opinions or actions does not require or even permit personal attacks. I do like changes done to audcity, but I dislike calling people "scumbags" or stuff like that.
>We're in the habit of blaming the police for everything.

This is true, and I think people today have a very warped view of policing. However, there are plenty of legitimate areas of improvement:

- No knock raids

- Violent arrests of non-violent offenders

- Eminent domain

- etc.

No knock raids are particularly troubling because (among many other reasons) they can result in a legal shootout between police and civilians: A civilian who has been violently woken up in the middle of the night is disoriented and scared, and legitimately believes he is subject to a life-threatening home invasion. He opens fire on the police, who he believes to be the home invaders. The police, being fired on, have a legitimate right to defend themselves. It's not airtight, but this scenario can lead to a legal shootout where both parties have valid legal arguments.

I realize this is mostly oblique to the topic at hand, but our policing can and should be improved, even if it gives ammunition to the folks who want to demonize the police unjustly.
Great news. Though the EV charging ecosystem is still a huge mess. Each country has 5 or 6 different networks that all require different apps, charge wildly different prices etc. A huge mess. Hopefully things will settle as adoption increases.

>If you'd like to debate me on this point, please begin.

This is a common quip when somebody emotional about a topic wants to boil it down to formal argument (despite their own use of emotional rhetoric) - it's a declaration of the intention to use the guise of debate as an excuse to reject any part of the conversation that isn't 100% objective. It comes off as superior and hostile, and signals that you aren't open to discussion. Maybe none of this applies to you, but your wording is a huge red flag.

Sure, people give me that answer all the time.

If you actually went beyond basic setup and dealt with real enterprise/production level issues then make sure to point it out. I assume that “I learned it for a side project” means mostly happy path stuff.
