It does sound like the perfect setup for a repeat of that, but it's even worse.

The US FAA has already said [0] there's too much automation in the cockpit because it tends to make pilots be out of practice. In that case, when an emergency hits, pilots are often not competent enough to meet the situation.

This doesn't work, because the complexity and reach of the systems are themselves sensitive information about capabilities.

Even the un-classified stuff is mind-blowing, including thinking about how to even begin running/building a system like that. Software code would reveal way too much of that, even after being sterilized.
Maybe although I don't know how they would identify the "safe" drivers among the folks that are just mindful during the evaluation period. Perhaps they weed people out who seem to drive routes their system doesn't handle well. Still, it seems like the rollout plan would be a good way to collect a training set that is biased toward safer driving habits.

Also, this sort of short evaluation seems like it wouldn't mitigate that much PR risk. It may even increase bad press if things go poorly and people point to it as an indication that they knew it wasn't ready.
Came here to say this myself. Do awesome stuff, and you will attract awesome people.

You don't have to be the world's best in the thing you pursue either, to get noticed. For many hobbies and interests, there is a scene. And there are so many ways to contribute to that scene, such as helping arrange events or arranging your own. This will put you on the radar among a lot of people, and shine positive light on you.
This is a major beef I have with many modern frameworks - many confuse verbosity with simplicity or ease.

Conceptual complexity is of enormous importance to the usability of a tool. I build APIs for a living and have often needed to push back vociferously over things that would make code terser, but the underlying mechanisms harder to understand.

That said, I actually think codegens are often the right tool for the job - it removes a lot of boilerplate (at least from the developer needing to write it) but doesn't obfuscate underlying mechanisms - those are free for examination as needed.

Of course, the devil's in the details - if the codegen'ed stuff is pure spaghetti that defeats this benefit.

The worst, worst sin of all are frameworks that insert "magic" functionality. For example: name a thing in a special way and stuff will automagically happen to it? I can't think of a worse, more opaque way to design a system than rote memorization of incantation that reveal nothing about what's actually happening.
Question: how do we benchmark search engines? Are there any groups attempting to provide (open) solutions in this space?

(It seems to me that if you want to build a good search engine, this is the question you need to address first.)

Imagine a wallet with cash in it... Ariel opens her wallet and takes out a Hamilton ($10 USD), and hands it to Beth. The most she can lose is the $10.

In this scenario, the most Ariel can lose is that $10, no matter how evil Beth is. If Eva manages to impersonate Beth, still the maximum loss is $10. In no manner can the balance of Ariel's wallet be lost.

If you have an operating system that never hands over the wallet to an application, but instead uses capabilities, in a clear and transparent manner, then the user is quite capable of doing the right thing, as millennia of experience have shown.

Our current crop of OS choices don't even make it possible to select and built a capability on behalf of the user. There is no "wallet" analogy without capabilities. We're living in a world where you must hand over your wallet to anyone to complete a transaction... which is nuts.
Yes, that sounds like it would add up! I feel like I would dissuade myself from going on a run if I had to get all that stuff ready. Even putting sunscreen on sometimes feels like a bummer.
Yes, maybe in 10 years when this Go framework catches up with all the features and becomes as battle proven, well documented, maintained and funded as Django and somehow we know is not yet another thing that will be abandoned next year.
Yeah, stopping your assembly line due to having ordered 312 resistors and you needed 313 is just - plain - madness. But that's what they did, and took a big hit to the bottom line because of it.

Part of the problem stemmed from rating employees on how successful they were at JIT inventory. You get what you rank for, not what makes sense.
YouTube premium is the best streaming service. There’s so much content of high quality content that’s relatively niche. I recently stumbled on SummoningSalt’s videos about speed runners and I can’t imagine any other medium that would create incentives for that type of content. Of course you don’t need premium, but no ads is great! I’ve gone on to support people on patreon from YouTube, from cgp grey to stuffmadehere. I can’t imagine finding that kind of content on Hulu, Netflix, et al. It’s possible there are YouTube alternatives as I’m quite old compared to a teenager.
Isn’t it commercially viable to distill CO2 from air?
The other appealing (to me) thing about machining is that one simultaneously:
(1) is forced to realize that perfection is completely illusory: everything is made of rubber, there's no such thing as an exact dimension
(2) gets as close as any human endeavor to actual perfection. An amateur can, with care, skill and some money, work to microns.
I'd argue that tone policing doesn't refute the argument either.

I have not read the article, but enterprisecarsales.com has about 7000 cars for sale; no filter, nationwide. Doesn't look like a big number; but car rental companies sold a ton of their fleet on the onset of covid too.

The cars with extensive damage or accidents, any bad mark on carfax goes to wholesale auctions. These are just the ones near end of mileage or age warranty.

The news, the hype, & the reality too contributed to the car sales. I am not in market, but still I see now the 2/3 year used car prices almost very near to their new counterpart, even on enterprise, compared to dealer websites for new cars.
That doesn’t solve the problem at all. I like and am interested in the videos I’ve watched. I want the algorithm to know I’m interested, I just don’t want it watch something I’ve watched again.
It works fine for me on Chrome (Linux or Android), Edge(ium, on Linux and Windows) and Firefox (Linux, for some reason not Android). It fails on Gnome Web (which is WebKit GTK), which is the closest I could get to Safari, because of SharedArrayBuffers being unavailable [0]. It seems like WebKit hasn't re-enabled them since the first Spectre mitigations like Chromium and Firefox have.

One reason it could fail for you on Chrome is that perhaps you tested on iOS; Chrome on iOS shouldn't make or break web applications because Apple forces WebKit onto every browser on that platform, so they're all Safari with a skin. A broken website in iOS Safari is usually broken in all other browsers by Apple's design.

Otherwise the code should work fine on up-to-date Chrome across all real Chrome platforms, unless you specifically toggled flags...

This. Regulating seasonal snow tire/chain usage in areas with lots of snow/ice is imperative to reducing collisions and improving safety. That and decent infrastructure for clearing snow in a fairly timely manner.

All seasons can't and _wont_ cut it in some areas, and having tires that only work 3/4s of the year for traction is dicey at best.

What some people don't realize is the ubiquity of these types of custom-application-platform systems.

Emacs is one of them. Linux is one of them. The web browser is another. VSCode and most IDEs are another. Rails. Flash. React. The C programming language. Of course, many unsuccessful ones too which I don't care to name...

My point is that it's good to have competition in this space. Who knows at what point the world will be ready for another higher level of coding? Even if this system fails, how many failures does this author need to accumulate before they discover something that is good?

To the author: I applaud your efforts. One question though - how can we try it out?

EDIT: I can also mention Arc, PG's custom Lisp dialect for building web applications including this very site.

Sad but true - it seems like every technology that is made to promote free speech, anonymity, or non-centralization ultimately leads to bad actors using it and more authoritarian laws being passed. I'm not sure what the solution is.
I always wondered if Common Lisp pathname versioning could be leveraged intentionally when pointing at files in a git repo, to reference older versions of that filename. (And whether that gives any utility...)
“She was not an important player by their standards; the only unusual thing about her was her sex, and even that wasn’t unique in Russia. There was Nona Gaprindashvili, not up to the level of this tournament, but a player who had met all these Russian grandmasters many times before. ”

So one wonders what is still to be found, what was lost to sea level changes or other climate erosion over time. But the level of craftsmanship old times long past still amazes me as the skills to achieve that was far more common in those times as a percentage of the populous than it is today. Which as tools developed, we have shifted that level of hand craftsmanship towards expensive art today.

Equally, one wonders what structures we build today would still be around in an equally period of time - building wise, not many that spring to mind and even then, not sure how the ravages of time would effect them. Certainly a large exercise but I wonder if anybody has done any climate modelling for that kind of duration and how today's monuments around the world would endure. Makes you wonder what would be left as even plastics would break down after 500 years - let alone 8,000 or 40,000 years from now.

You make it sound like engineers are failing their moral duty and then ignore the people in charge of them who actually make the important decisions in any company. I can almost guarantee it wasn't some lowly engineers decision to be a bad faith participant in the testing; they build what they're told to. Also, comparing car ECU engineers to software engineers generally is a stretch, I don't think there's much of a common culture there.

:-) oh ok. In the I would add my personal experience (might not be the majority of people who buy rental), I bought a rental from Enterprise because of no haggle price, factory warranty, low age, highest possible trim & about 10% cheaper than used car dealerships where I had to play & dance the negotiation dance; all this just pre covid.

I was an Enterprise rental customer for about 7 years before that, renting a car about 2-3 times, not preplanned; & decision based on rental cost & availability, flexible dates.

2 things that worked to me:

* Harnessing my inner analytics nerd--Running was always challenging for me, but I did some research and learned that when training with your heart rate at a low range (140-150 for me) you will still see improvements. So I got a heart rate monitor and an app that beeps any time I'm outside the range. At first I had to walk most of the time to avoid my heart rate going too high. Eventually though I was able to run 11 miles non-stop. I just followed this method and it worked great for me, and the best part is that when I was finally fit enough to run non-stop it felt easy because my heart rate was low the whole time. I eventually stopped after I stopped seeing gains, which made the entire thing less motivating/exciting. But it was great experience seeing my body transform.

* Sports are really fun--this is kind of like tricking yourself into not realizing you're exercising. I play a game called pickleball and love every minute of it.
> How do we convince people that we need to experiment directly on the live system even though we don't really know what we are doing?

This. All these “geoengineering now!” pleas are infuriating. It’s like a programmer’s simplistic solution to a complex problem, except that we don’t get to roll back a dodgy patch. We already have tools to avoid the worst if we wanted to, and waiting 20 years for the next technological breakthrough is dangerously stupid, particularly considering how little we know about how the biosphere works in general and the likelihood to fuck it up.
So often people get emotional about languages and frameworks. They’re tools, and tools have trade offs. The “Why Not” section recognizes that. Super impressive.
I don't think this is very contrarian. Competition, even with no underlying reason (like patriotism) is what improves things. Some "united human race solving global problems" is just dressing up a centrally planned economy, which demonstrably has worse outcomes for almost everyone.

There are lots of totalitarians that believe their cause (e.g. climate change, covid) is so important that it should take precedence over market forces (i.e. what people want). Maybe you are advocating that, but its not a contrarian opinion, it's what every armchair slacktivist technocrat is pushing for, as long as it mainly applies to others.
Red is a poor choice for something that needs to be seen day or night. Pretty much the worst colour next to black (which is technically not a colour).
Nice job, I think it's pretty cool how email has become such a versatile desktop for the world's information, transcending the messaging metaphor.

(It'd be interesting to see email become an application platform, also for convenience's sake, I mean since it's already reached such a baroque state anyway)

Now if it could be made _just_ a bit easier to host, maintain, migrate, and manage email accounts...
I suspect the GP used 'run into' in the literal sense i.e. hiring submerged objects. There's a surprising amount of crap floating around out there from small logs right up to lost shipping containers.

Do you realize how much time and effort it takes to live in the arctic? It's a full time job. You need to make sure you have enough firewood for the winter, enough food from hunting and fishing. You need to maintain vehicles, equipment, and your home so it can withstand harsh conditions, etc.

Guys in our area of London every summer would routinely rent reasonably upmarket cars, new BMWs, Mercs, etc. for a few weeks and not just use them to accelerate hard around the roads (though they did) but sit there, out of gear and just floor it for dozens of seconds at a time.

I personally do drive rentals to the max safe performance they will give me, which is more like what the description was about, in any case.
The author has also done other analyses of how industrialization of construction work hasn't really taken off in a way that lowers prices. The case of how something as simple and interchangeable as bricks not succumbing to industrialization is a damning data point in that theme.
Wonder whether the non driving gear needs to be aligned with the sphere. Or does the force push the driving gear into a gear alignment? Or is it done in software.

Slightly know-it-all, but in fact involute gears do rub against each other - they experience pure rolling motion where they contact at the pitch circle. That's the only point where the circumferential speed of the gears is the same.

The purpose of the involute shape is to maintain constant torque transmission during tooth contact.

>There is no unified 'will of the people.'

I don't think this is a useful thing to say, it seems to suggest that a given group of people can't reach consensus, when this is not really the case.

>Communities that want to wear masks continued to do so [...] and communities that wanted to never wear masks stuck to their plans

In my opinion that illustrates why I think any kind of reactions to this are a bit odd. It's very hard to enforce a mask mandate in every possible area in a jurisdiction. So the strategy has to be done by tackling big targets (enforcing the mandates only in densely populated areas, empowering private businesses/organizations to kick people out who endanger other people's safety, stopping people from mass spreading misinformation on social media, etc).

What I've seen is that people who were discreetly throwing parties and were being cautious about the virus didn't have any problems. But it's still risky and they still face penalties if they get get caught, because of course once someone causes a super-spreader event and people end up in the hospital, then it can easily be traced back there, and that's where I'd expect those people to be held liable. So in that sense, yeah you could say they could take blame for their actions after the fact, but that doesn't really help much either if it caused a large number of other people to get sick. We could very directly trace that back to deliberate actions taken by someone knowing full well that it could harm others.

Wokeism shows all the hallmarks of a cult or organized religion, and it's being spearheaded by academia:

- Strict adherence to dogmas (_eg all whites are racist, not dating trans is transphobic_), under penalty of excommunication (_banished from academia and/or society_).

- Dissent is not permitted (_if you deny it, you must be racist/bigot/transphobic_).

- Cult of the leader as individual (_eg BLM founders, the Squad_), while at the same time arguing the group is paramount.

- Sacraments (eg _struggle sessions, street performances_).

- Colleges as main places of cult. Pilgrimages to holy places (_eg police brutality incidents_).

- Saints (eg _George Floyd_).

Academia is funded by the state via:

- Grants to projects not necessarily resulting in any benefit, apparent or not, to society. Projects lead by professors not teaching.

- Loans to students, knowing well many won't be able to pay in years, if at all, which end in the pockets of colleges.
