This is really cool and I overwhelmingly agree with the risk stats they mention in their brief intro.

That said, the reason pilots are paid to fly dangerous whirlybird machines is primarily for take-off and landing. Takeoff and landing are operations that require the most concentration, coordination with air-traffic controllers and other aircraft and regardless of weather carry the most risk. Takeoff and landing are likely to be some of the last functions to be automated, I'd argue this even further with take-off. Another important aspect here is the pilot should be able to act independently of multiple systems failing - as the moniker goes... "fly the plane until its on the ground or stopped".

The coolest pilot safety automation tool to improve safety I've seen thus far is an iPad app developed by the OG developer of the X-Plane flight sim Austin Meyer[0] (definitely check out his blog) called Xavion [1]. Basically, it's an app that with decent GPS will calculate a glide plane to the nearest airport in seconds. Austin is an avid pilot and clearly a brilliant guy - I'm eager to see if he starts commenting on autopilot ai initiatives like that of Deadalean.

How does China keeping inflation in check for the last 25 years (a quick look at a historical chart showed 25%/yr inflation around 1990) with consistent growth say anything about the topic other than that the supply of money in China roughly tracked the growth? Keeping money supply fixed would be highly deflationary with fast growth.

I don't know how much debt vs assets were destroyed in Zimbabwe, but it seems that most of the inflation was due to the govt printing insane quantities of money to finance it's involvement in wars in neighboring countries -- when they are printing and distributing individual notes in denominations of 100 trillion Zimbabwe dollars, when that currency started above par with the USD, it doesn't seem like debt has much to do with it; do you have some details I'm missing?
Hah, no IPO bump. Does anyone know any detail about their deal with their bank?

They are privately copyrighted because those organizations research and develop the codes which is a significant expense.

Since it's unlikely that taxpayers will accept paying for all of this stuff, the likely outcome is that specific code references will be removed from the law and replaced with an insurance requirement. And insurers are going to require the ferris wheel or elevator or boiler to comply with the same code that used to be in the law.
As far as movies are concerned the innovation, and quality writers, moved to T.V. in the nineteen nineties.

In the last 25 years the innovation has been in information technology. The changes in that are as breathtaking as the changes in transport a century ago.

More generally in industry the innovators are more likely to be found in Asia now. Being an innovator and navigating a police state is an interesting challenge!
The funny thing about I, Robot, the movie is that had it simply used a different title, it would have been a perfectly decent sci-fi film on its own. It just had almost nothing to do with the book.

Obituaries aren't official records, they're media statements. The official records are kept in a civil registry, which usually isn't open to the public until X years have passed (obviously this differs by nation; in NL, death records don't become public until after 50 years).
I understand not speaking about sex, politics and religion. But replies in this thread give me the idea that people are also hiding their family life, Netflix queue and sports teams. You're right, this is some dystopian nightmare.
I think telling someone they made a shitty product when they did is warranted regardless of industry, especially if you're paying or being manipulated into paying money. I don't think extreme behaviors are okay, which I said - but you're right it was maybe a bit ambiguous, so to note to be extra clear, death threats are a form of extreme behavior.
You're right as it probably won't work well with MUI [0] (formerly React Material) and similar options like Ant [1]. But they all accept a theme provider that could hook in to the Tailwind config. Never tried it though.

But a swell of less opinionated offerings [2] [3] [4] (more and more the popular anyways) work well with Tailwind. In fact, when writing your own libs, exposing a className prop makes them painlessly customisable.

I made a series of assertions. One of them being that police rarely police themselves. I used the domestic violence problem amongst police forces as evidence of this. Nowhere did I state anything along the lines that this fact has anything to do with police engaging in widespread violence against people they encounter.

Do your own research. It’s easy to find studies about police violence they commit in the communities they patrol. But one has to wonder if police commit violence at home at a much higher rate than the general population is it surprising they commit violence against people they arrest?

I think every generation has had their 'dread'... from world wars, to cold wars, to climate...

Personally, it seems like what changed was somewhere around Gen-X we lost faith in our ability to change anything. That feeling of helplessness seems to have deepened from Gen-X to Gen-Z. Oddly, my generation-Alpha nieces and nephew's still seem optimistic. Is is just youth? or will things start to turn around...

Only time will tell....
> Not to start a dog vs cat war, but as someone who loves both, I think I can safely say that cats put much more information in their voices than dogs, for example.

My cat only gets really vocal when she wants something ( & usually only with me, not my kids or spouse). She also trills a lot, usually in surprise. Could be they compress the data - dogs are very chatty - maybe the cats focus on high throughput whereas the dogs go for low-latency.

I'd love to see the same analysis done with dog barks.
> A lot of the world, to me, is just not acting like tomorrow will come, metaphorically.

Not even metaphorically. People literally behave like the time horizon for the consequences of their choices is shrinking. This explains so much of the zeitgeist:

- Hustle culture. Better climb to the top of the hill fast because the metaphorical/literal floodwaters are rising.

- The doom and gloom of progressive culture, which used to be much more positive. If we don't fix these cultural problems right now, it means we'll never fix them because there's no future, and if we'll never fix them, we lost. Therefore, we failed and should feel morally miserable.

- The plummeting birthrate. Who would want to bring a child into a dying world?

- Dropping rates of marriage. Why make a long-term relationship commitment when "long-term" doesn't even mean anything?

- Anti-work. Why work hard now to save up for a retirement or future stability when you won't be there to enjoy it? (There are other entirely valid reasons to be critical of capitalism, of course.)

> It will, though, and to me the interesting implication is that it seems a fantastic time to build new long-term things.

This is an incredible insight. Now is a perfect time for long-term bets because everyone else is undervaluing them.

Also, it's just straight up more psychologically healthy and objectively likely to believe in a positive future.
I've recently tried to get back into making art. I had a very active imagination as a child and would draw for hours on end. Now the inspiration isn't there and I have a hard time just visualizing scenes or landscapes.

Researchers develop method for early detection of bacterial infection in crops
Maybe we just took all the low hanging fruit?

- Manufacturing can't get that much more efficient without a lot of automation, which is a very hard problem that requires expertise in computer vision, robotics, mechanical engineering, and domain knowledge. That's expensive and hard to organize.

- Per capita energy consumption in the developed world is already high and will be hard to increase while also decreasing CO2 emissions. Especially given entrenched interests and the inability of most governments to complete large projects on schedule.

- There's only so many ways to move and rearrange matter in ways that are fundamentally revolutionary. We found a lot of them in the 1800s and 1900s. Jet engines, motors of various types, lot of chemistry, power generation stuff. There are still interesting developments going on (especially in biology), but mostly they are incremental advances, not something that unlocks entirely new capabilities.
I had a client who was using sentence transformers with elasticsearch already. My colleague suggested switching to haystack to enable a larger number of model architectures. Switching over to haystack was pretty straightforward because we just used it as a wrapper around sentence transformers, but I do remember some inconvenience around all the other dependencies that haystack pulled in.

Haystack does a lot more besides just wrapping sentence transformers, and we weren't using the rest of it, so it was just a lot of extra dependencies sitting around taking up disk space and memory (I think we had to go up to a larger instance size). I remember feeling a bit frustrated that the dependencies weren't split up into "core" and "optional" in a more fine-grained way, but maybe most users don't mind and so it doesn't make sense for them to prioritize that?

[edit: looks like there's an open issue related to this: https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/issues/1070]

Google is definitely no champion of privacy. But at least they don't sell your precise location data.
I think that's more an American thing than a "western civilization" thing. Of course, the article is talking about America...

You see this in many ways. You see some statistic reported, or some event happens, and they say "It's the highest (or the first) since 2017", like that makes this really unusual.

You see it in sports, where people argue whether LeBron or Michael are the greatest, as if Bill Russell and Oscar Robertson never existed.

You see it in web frameworks.

You see it in the 24 hour news cycle. "Here's what's happened in the last hour, and we'll repeat a few things that happened a couple of hours before that" - as if anything older than 3 hours is no longer relevant.

You see it in video. I once took a half-hour non-news TV show, and for a 12-minute segment, I counted the cuts. It worked out that the average time between cuts was 3 seconds. This was clear back in the 1980s; it may be worse now. So video is tuning us to a world where, if you don't like what you see, it will all be completely different in 3 seconds.

So maybe nobody is explicitly stating as a philosophical that we should ignore the past and just move on... oh, wait. Doesn't existentialism teach that this moment is all you've got?

But American in particular is a place where the past is not relevant. It's a place where you go when you want to leave the past behind - leave the old country with all its constraining history. And you can do the same in America, too - just move to another state when you want a new life. I've heard that the difference between America and Europe is that in Europe, 100 miles is a long distance, and in America, 100 years is a long time. We don't have the sense of deeper history that Europe has.

So, combining philosophy, lack of history, instant-everything society, and media focusing on what's new right now, yes, I'd say that we're effectively ignoring the past - not totally, but more than most cultures have.
Some people will excuse government over-reaction by saying "they were right to react strongly because this variant could have been more lethal".

We'll see if the governments will ease these restrictions now that it's becoming more and more clear that there's no reason to panic.

I think some of this is just that anything done in their solo careers was continually measured against the best of the Beatles output. If you look at the number of hits and records sold by McCartney and Wings, it's amazing. And John Lennon's solo stuff is legendary. I still think that "Imagine" is as good as any of the Beatles stuff. And the Beatles had what I consider a lot of poor songs as well. It's just that their sheer volume of outstanding songs made it easy to ignore the lesser ones.
Books often times contain useful information and can be used to present arguments and evidence from a wide variety of sources. I highly recommend the reading of books. I cited other sources. They are easy to find. You should have no trouble finding them yourself.
Seems to fall more into the off-topic, as something that would be covered on TV news. Does it gratify intellectual curiosity? (honest question, no snark intended)

> On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
> Always enable fast-math unless your application has a demonstrable need for deterministically consistent floating point math.

As far as I remember fast math also breaks things like NaN and infinity, which makes filtering out invalid values before they hit something important fun since they will obviously still exist and mess up your results but you can no longer check for them.
Frankly, I cringe every time I see someone come back smartly with the pithy reply "got any citations"? I know the burden of proof is on the person making the claim, but what I see here is really a dressed up "nuh uh!"

I used to use Zurb Foundation or Bootstrap for my personal projects but I found these two frameworks required me to use their javascript and their JS does not play nice always. So I moved to Bulma and that has served me well so far. I like not having to worry about CSS (it drives me nuts) and I would like to just focus on building components and functionality.

Is TailwindUI an alternate to Bulma ?
Always text over video? I disagree. Things like Khan Academy work much better than reading a textbook for a lot of people.

Nah, it’s just an efficient way to free up capital and do something useful with it. Not sure if the details, but banks should be using customer deposit for loans. They can’t fund loses etc out of them, but they can (and should) use the capital for lending.

If banks didn’t lend the money, how would you expect them to pay internet on your savings or fund the costs associated with just storing your money for you? It costs quite a lot of money to run a bank, even a bank that only handles customer deposits and has no lending activity. Most consumers aren’t in paying the full cost of administrating their budgets, but cost has to be covered somehow.

Additionally if banks didn’t operate as a factional reserve, we would have a permanent credit crisis, because there would be no capital to fund any form of credit, from credit cards to mortgages. Either that or you would have to engage entirely in P2P lending, which removes the ability to aggregate and distribute risk, lowering each individual exposure. Or you would have a P2P system with someone aggregating and selling that risk, but that’s just banks in another name.

If financial interests largely decide who gets enough funding to run in an election then how is it up to the average voter? To choose which corporate funded lackey they get? I don't know what left we are talking about but most people I talk to left or liberal or right seem to agree that large financial interests or 'the elite' are sucking us dry, they pretty much just disagree on taxes.

It is a theory with some pretty strong evidence, showing that normal poor people do not get their interests heard in government.

Old x86 boxes tend to be hot, having moving parts (fans), large, and noisy. Sure some folks have a large house, basement, and don't care. For many a nice new reliable (with warranty) widget that burns little power, is silent, has no moving parts, and is tiny/easily mounted is a pretty big win. The edgerouter is pretty good, I have a 6P, but the ubiquiti trend towards subscriptions, cloud management, etc is pretty worrying.

Given that I'd likely keep my next router for 5+ years, I'm hoping for 2.5gbit (if not 10gbit), 4 ports, IPv6 aware (I get a /60 from my ISP), VLANs (so I can keep the random consumer crap segregated off), etc. I had settled on the hardkernel with 6x2.5 Gbit ports, but it's discontinued.

My Ubiquiti 6xp does a great job, I can keep the config file in git, I can assign a IPv6 /64 per port, run custom firewall rules to redirect all DNS to my DNS server (allowing blocking youtube, web games, etc), etc. I block all remote access to my router and from the consumer crap VLAN with watches, TVs, AV receivers, game consoles, etc.

Here's hoping someone ships similar, have my eye on the Mirotek RB5009UG+S+IN, has 1 10G, 1 2.5G, and a bunch of 1G. I'd need a second vlan capable switch with a 10G uplink for my uses, but it's workable. Hoping for similar with a few more faster ports. Even just 2x10G would make a big difference.
Yeah I’m using their FAISS document store and QA pipeline to run semantic search over a set of YouTube transcripts. Was easier to set up than Jina AI in my specific use case, and the search results are actually useful. Only real constraint for me is GPU access, creating the embeddings to store in the FAISS index sans a GPU takes an unreasonable amount of time.
