I also doubt that the FAA investigation would have much to do with the major narrative of the article.

From their perspective, the flight went off course for 2 mins, and they're looking for the proximate cause. They're looking for a specific safety issue, not any underlying generalized sense of a rotten safety culture at the company.

The acute problem might lead directly to a bigger general issue, if there's some direct evidence of fudged risk analysis or some specific, similar, overtly wrong behavior.

But more likely, it'll just be: we misjudged how it would handle that specific wind and were blown off course. Or something similar.

ETA: Has it even been established that the warning light/entry angle was the cause of or directly related to the airspace violation?

It is not the purpose of government to go on scorched earth campaigns fighting every single pathogen without regard to the consequences.
> the bizarre false scarcity model of e-book sharing

The scarcity is in our willingness to pay sufficient taxes to allow the library to purchase more book licenses, and in doing so possibly negotiate bulk discounts.

That is, unless you are arguing that the government should force authors/publishers to sell their e-books at a discount to public libraries. It's not clear why authors/publishers would agree to that.
> But I'm just not convinced chemistry is fast enough for thought to happen any other way than quantum.

How fast do you think? I know my reaction time to unexpected external stimulus is up in the 200ms+ range, and sometimes even basic things can take multiple seconds to think through with my conscious mind. This is an enormous amount of time chemically speaking.

Saying the lead developer is recommending using machine right after someone claims it’s deprecated seems relevant?
Stackoverflow, twitter and discord are my top places where I spend my time online
Aside from whether this should be fixed, that's a classical problem not unique to godot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABA_problem

The real problem is that you are not properly managing the lifetime of your objects so you have dangling references. Obviously Godot could provide better tooling to help you identify and troubleshoot it, but dangling references like that will cause breakage in basically any runtime environment that makes it possible to have them.

IDs of that sort can be reused in many environments. For example, if you use Unity, .NET GCHandle IDs can be reused in the exact same way.
This has got to be colloquial. I've never heard of such a thing.

What country are you from? Canadian here.
Or the sound the Martians from Mars Attacks made.
IMHO, the most surprising (and disturbing) thing about people refusing the vaccine, catching COVID, and dying is that there are so many of them. Enough for the media to talk about a random new dead person every day. Enough to sustain a shitty subreddit. In a country where vaccination is free.

I agree that mocking them isn't productive, but at this stage, it feels more like a coping mechanism. When the world around you stops making sense, what are you going to do, other than laugh?
OK. But still, people with no phones can't be.
Yes. You’d also require a user generated content license similar to CC0 (waive all rights Creative Commons license) along with open sourcing the code to run the platform. If Reddit was Wikipedia or OpenStreetMap.

This ensures there is no IP to capture, nor can you hold the audience hostage.
The difficulty I would think, is determining what is the real activity and what is just a side-effect.

For example old CRTs gave off RF signals that could be decoded to read the contents of the screen but the CRT display was not designed to be a radio transmitter.
Elon Musk ordered a flight. Imagine that he got killed in an accident aboard the Virgin Galactic

As risky as Virgin Galactic is (and it's certainly risky), Musk probably faces a greater danger of dying in a car accident while driving to the office since he drives or rides in a car much more often than he flies in a spacecraft.

I used to work in supply chain logistics. Boy howdy, I am not surprised by any of this. Most companies (especially the older and more established ones) have zero visibility into their supply chains. Suppliers don't share this information without a lot of arm-twisting.

It's very much like being in dependency hell, except that the dependencies themselves are also in dependency hell.

Edit: Shoutout to sourcemap.com, who are trying to solve this problem!
I don't think the purple air sensors (laser scattering plantower sensors) are very accurate at such extreme measurements. There are numerous laboratory permanent sensors deployed by various state, federal and local authorities that you can compare. I've seen purple air at much more extreme values. Still terrible.
Google said they want to support the phones for 5 years, definitely an improvement. Note that it's not a sole Google product but a collaboration with Samsung, so will likely build on their Exynos IP.
Sure but that's just the first few years. Again there is a fundamental human mechanism at work, mission drift. Just like a startup's workforce is very self-selected, so is a startup city. But cities last generations and hundreds of years, and even your startup will not be run by the same people in 20 years as it was at year 0. It's why companies go from dynamic, YIMBY startups to becoming Oracle.

So this question needs a serious answer. You can write something in the charter, but what's stopping enough people from changing the charter 30 years down the line? All NIMBY American cities started out as startups, the country's not that old. Little more than a century ago the West was associated with the frontier life.
A few years ago I had a classmate who was rudely terse in his replies to group emails. For instance, if someone asked, "Here is my understanding of blah blah. Is this correct?" This person would reply to all with only the word: "No."

I was surprised to eventually learn that the person behind these weird emails was the friendliest student in the class. Apparently he just wasn't used to emailing. To him, "no" was equivalent to "No, sorry, I don't think that's quite right. I'll try to follow up shortly with a more detailed answer."
Thanks for such detailed info!

Who would you recommend as quality filter brands?

Walking on variable surfaces is also a highly repetitive task and automation is yet to master it.
I hear that the seniority is so strong there. Added with commute, bad working hours and mandatory parties after works, I don't think good developers will want to work there.
antibodies produced in a primary infection target a lot more than spike protein, in some pre-prints.

It's all preliminary data. However, the sinopharm vaccine, which is the whole virus, not just spike protein, seems to lose effectiveness after several months as well.

Since logic simulation is a massively parallel task, I wonder how much faster it would be if you used the GPU to do it.

The thing about excess deaths that I hope we can all appreciate is that it is not a political measure. We can argue about if those deaths were caused by COVID or by the response to it. But we can’t argue about the magnitude of the catastrophe overall. The body bags don’t lie.
> The MD context. One first needs to train AI to perform the job of a general MD before you can get into stuff like radiology

That's true. Waymo had to train their AI to perform the job of a firefighter for them to recognize a fire hydrant and a firetruck.

> I.e. not segmenting things into funky shapes or running some funky black box magic that spits out "tumor/not tumor" with no context whatsoever, no.

... But that's the goal right? There's a tumor right there at these coordinates or not.
I was using Sublime Text, a couple others were using Atom. The only one with a CLI editor used vim.

Just about everything out there will have decent Scheme support. It's a lisp, and it's a well-defined lisp. Scheme being well-specified makes everything simple. (Even the SRFIs are well specified.)

Our deploys were via Jenkins, but through Chicken's egg system it wasn't exactly a complicated process.
Of course I read through the link. It did not alter my reading of the slides in the slightest. The simpler tests recommended in the paper are not as objective as you might think. Again, the slides do not give us the information used and the interviews you mention did not happen for entire age categories. I'm glad you have confidence in the CDC and vaccines; GP does not and is actively trying to mislead users of HN. Appreciate the downvotes instead of discussion.
"A machine will never beat a human at Go, the problem space is just too vast."
I did the work that Lemire links there.

It started with realizing that Lemire's rejection method becomes more likely to need a division/modulo as the range maxes out (the gate on division is fraction < range, so as range -> maxint the division case approaches 100%, if the fraction and range have the same precision). If the range is 32 bit but the fraction is 64, the division case is 2^32 times less likely, so I worked out Lemire's method for 32.64 fixed point.

That turned out to be similar to the infinite-precision case described here, as we only need 32 bits of fraction if it's far enough from the edges, ie nothing can carry into the integer part if we extend to 64.

Once I worked out when to extend to 64 bits in the rejection method, I realized that the infinite-precision case is similar, using a loop instead of a conditional. It's simpler since there's no rejection, just a decision to continue as long as it's possible to carry.
"Which ones?"

Cascading failures. Those are very effectively blocked by power islands connected by HVDC lines (like Texas is). A power outage like the North East in 2003 is unlikely in Europe because of your mild weather being unlikely to put your infrastructure to the test.

"the last major customer-visible nation-wide outage was in 2006 [...]."

You're comparing Germany (?) to the US more than six times as populous and far larger in extent and far lower density? The last outage that impacted me in my corner of my continent was back in 2003.

Europe literally has the most benign weather on Earth. Barely any tornados. Barely any hurricanes. Barely any Blizzards. Heck you don't even have good thunderstorms - trust me, I grew up in Europe, there's no good thunderstorms there.

"Meanwhile, the US has outage reports every few months, including such absurdities as rolling outages to prevent wildfires from shoddy unmaintained networks. Or the shit that went down in Texas, which refuses interconnections to avoid federal regulations."

You really have little appreciation of the scale of California and Texas. Cali is 30% larger than Germany, twice as long, with taller mountains, little to no water, and full of combustible material.

Texas' outage had nothing to do with its interconnections. A rare weather event froze the gas pipelines at the same time they were supposed to pick up the slack from derated renewable generations. Texas' neighbors had no electricity to give (and in fact, the neighbors complained that Texas stopped exporting power - Texas IS connected to the rest of N. America).

Now, you could point out that Texas should have been better prepared for rare weather. I agree. So should have the Rhine Valley Region.
"If AI researchers worked more closely with practicing radiologists (not academic ones) I imagine there's all sorts of areas where existing technology today can improve things."

That's almost certainly true, and surely there must be people in the medical industry already working on this. In hospitals, there are internal organisations that vaguely attempt to link up technology workers with practicing doctors to improve medicine using technology. One of my most competent former developer colleagues retrained as a doctor and worked in medical digitisation, as well as being a practicing doctor.

However:

* Often coming at a problem from another angle and ignoring existing professionals can be useful too. Existing workers are very often stuck in their ways and unwilling to accept the way they look at a problem may not be the best. I have heard from many in medicine, that doctors are extremely distrustful and hesitant towards technology, as well as fiercely protective of their jobs.

* The medical industry is internally highly dysfunctional and trying to work with practicing doctors can be extremely politically difficult. The hospital bureaucracy often actively tries to prevent practicing doctors from working directly with technologists, preferring instead to silo them and direct all communication via senior management - who are often neither technology nor medical experts. Consequently it seems more likely that major changes will come from outside.

* AI has occasionally (rarely?) shown great success in solving problems without needing domain experts. See AlphaGo.

Well, for one, the US government prevents private actors from buying all sorts of things. I am surprised that selling tools which potentially "enable cyber crime" hasn't triggered some overzealous regulator in DC yet. It seems like low-hanging fruit.
The word quarantine literally refers to the 40 days a new arrival would be required to spend aboard his ship before disembarking, as early as the 14th century [0]. In Australia, the practice dates to at least the 1830s [1].

None of the reasons you listed are reasonable reasons for people to not get vaccinated.
I still use the 3.5mm headphone jack over Bluetooth, because of the price of Bluetooth headphones, and also not having to ever worry about battery life. The only downside for me is that I can't use the headphones, and charge and walk around, but that's a lot less annoying then the other things. And with Bluetooth, there tends to be brief pauses (<1sec) where I can't hear anything.

I also use my phone as my computers webcam. It's way better wired than the wifi for me (which honestly shouldn't be true, but).

I almost never use wireless charging, because it takes longer to charge, is everyday inefficient, and most people don't own wireless chargers. And even if they do, it's never in as many places as normal chargers. On an old phone, I ruined the port and had to only use wireless charging, and it was so annoying.

And app development is so much nicer when you have a USB connection. When I lost the ability to do so, coding was a good amount more work
That's weirder. IRC is still a transport protocol. Discord and Reddit are both websites.
Thanks for this explanation, it made it click for me. The benefit of doing far less additional sampling in the rejection case is very intuitive, especially when the numbers are very large. It also seems this technique could be extended to other scenarios, such as 1/pi and other weird non-uniform bucket sizes.

It's only a US thing. Not a per library thing. Kobo has integration with Overdrive/Libby in a number of countries including Canada and you can even check out a book directly on he device. Android eReader are also a thing. I use a couple Boox devices and just run Libby directly on them.
IIRC, Darwin Awards were always targeted at singular instances of actions that could be charitably described as unwise.

What is happening today is just the use of anything for the advancement of tribal signaling and catharsis derived from the suffering of the "other."

It exists on every side, acceptability of these behaviors depends largely on in-group vs out-group status of the perpetrator.
IMHO, this place is more toxic.

Sure, there is a much stronger social policing of personal attacks and sophomoric comments, but within those bounds, some people appear to feel freer to make genuinely cutting comments and express vitriolic opinions.
People are angry. They see vaccine refusers as prolonging the pandemic and putting their loved ones/everyone at risk for nothing.
I don't see that. I believe parent comment is also talking about "cross-industry inside Japan".

> Salaries and prestige are relatively low for *developers in Japan*, so it's relatively easy for other jobs to compete for prospective workers and *draw them away from technology*.

I agree that difficulty attracting foreign talent is a problem for the Japanese tech industry, but I don't think it's the focus of the article or the focus of the parent comment.

My thoughts were this seems like something a one, 2 or 3 person business could run, and it should be possible to extract decent salaries out of it while still remaining in conformance with non-profit rules. Safe in the knowledge that no megacorp is coming to take it from you.

That isn't true, but I'm not surprised that's what you learned at a typical university.
Speaking from personal experience, I agree with most of the points listed in the linked comment

The incompatibility of GraphQL and SDUI is obvious; the former dictates UI from the frontend, the latter from the backend. Poor performance stems from SDUI acting as a shim around as set of native component; another abstraction that introduces slowdown.

As for the rest of the point, difficulty in hiring for the bespoke SDUI framework, loss of expertise on the platform of choice... those are all things I've in the tech giant I work at. To the point, that the GraphQL folks had to sit down with the SDUI folks to tell them to back off.

For better or for worse, SDUI the buzzword disrespects mobile engineering. Bored developers leap at the chance to force an overengineered DSL on their coworkers, while upper management is sucked in by the illusion of a thin client offering complete control with no cost whatsoever.
> It's amazing how years of anti-vax nonsense went nowhere.

“Nowhere”? It’s gotten so bad that there are measles outbreaks now.
I self hosted things before google and Facebook existed to harvest all the information, because at the time there weren't many choices. When google in particular began offering great alternatives, I switched.

The death of Reader was the catalyst that had me bring it all back home. That and the continual upping of costs without any significant change in service (Dropbox).

It definitely means more tinkering to tweak everything the way I want it. But, I have the option to tweak it and overall I'm much happier with it. On the other hand, when my teenage daughter sees me using my self-hosted Searx instance for searching, will ask me things like "why can't you just use google like a normal person?"
I'm not so sure.

All of my friends who aren't getting the vaccine and vocal about it are pushing some pretty out there reasons. It may have started from relatively reasonable reasons, but it has morphed into an especially vitrolic ideology and in-group signaling rather quickly.

Also, a lot of polls show there is a sticky group of people who will never get it and that population hasn't changed much over time. So at this point there's not much you can move the needle on them via facts and all that.

Doesn't mean we shouldn't stop trying.

Highly recommend the You Are Not So Smart podcast on how to have beneficial discussions with anti-vax individuals. One key is don't use social media (eg in public).

Correct, they’re not reasonable reasons to not get vaccinated.

But they are reasonable fears to have. They’re normal fears, that make sense from their point of view.

They’re factually wrong, but understandable.

A lot of people have the opportunity to interact with your (unattended) car or your belongings in situations where they couldn't harm you without taking a substantial risk. Imagine a person you interact with at a bar who drops an AirTag in your purse while you are briefly distracted.
You either sort by cone, getting great gate-value reuse density, but lose gobs of parallelism; or, you sort by gate-type & eat-shit on gather-scatter. It’s a devil’s bargain, either way. It’s why the majors sell $$$…$$$ custom emulation equipment.

It’s also a field long overdue for disruption.
