I think you're coming from a context that isn't design, so there's a language mismatch here. In design, and basically everything not dictated by maths/optimization, the precise definition of "best" is that it's subjective. From the dictionary: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/best

> 1. excelling all others

> 2. offering or producing the greatest advantage, utility, or satisfaction

Different models of products exist because "best" is subjective. The phone that is best for me is not best for you, but both are precisely, by definition, best for each of us. You seem to be thinking that the word "best" means some absolute global maximum, which is not the definition of the word. That maximum is made from weights in some huge vector space, with those weights being different depending on the perspective of each of us. There is no "correct" perspective that can allow this global maximum, that you seem to be searching for, to exist.

You're making the assumption that he, a celebrated consumer product designer, was not aware of the subjective, multivariate, nature of "best", when used in the context of consumer product design. I don't think that's an appropriate assumption, for any professional designer.
I can('t) imagine, yikes.

Now I'm remembering the story of how, when a certain blue website fell off the Internet for a day ~a decade and a half ago (due to some slightly broken database migration logic), out-of-band access boiled down to who was still logged in (!): https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2019/01/20/quiet/

Amusingly when things went wrong again last year, it was BGP's fault (is this the hyperscale equivalent of "it's always DNS" or something?). Engineers (with adequate credentials) had to actually drive to the datacenter haha.

I would be very interested to hear more about how the break-glass process worked.
The F-4 Phantom: we figured out how the bumblebee does it.
X-Plane does it right, without any artificial manipulation of control inputs.

It's possible MSFS had to do it wrong to make it work on an Xbox controller; you have a lot less fine control than with a yoke or joystick.
This just seems like a move to avoid liability or to spin off debt a la Johnson and Johnson.
That kind of confounding is something that it is well understood how to filter for, by matching cohorts. It is possible when N is in the tens of thousands. But their report did not say the effect was more pronounced in any particular selection of cohorts, other than as noted.
Funny he would say that because a few days ago in one of his tweets he was calling the stock market bottom for this year. I replied that he was using the wrong inputs:

People make the same mistake in their decision process.

I was going to add that his model wasn’t explainable either but only so much geek humor…

I think we've already passed the inflection point where everyone who needs to hear that NFTs don't solve a problem either already know or have decided not to listen.
I wouldn't mind if there was a bit more there. There is only the beginnings of the library (headers w/ DDC register map, function prototypes, etc), and I was still in the process of figuring out the architecture of the thing when I ran out of time to work on it. That being said I would be more than happy to get back to you if I am indeed able to get some more of the groundwork done on it next month as my schedule frees up.

I maybe could have been clearer on this, but the DDC dongle I made isn't using this library, just hardcoded i2c calls for input switching. I started working on the library to eventually integrate with that dongle, but I'm still using the 'hacky' firmware on the dongles hooked to my monitors.
Yes, although this is a particularly severe case.
There are plenty of reasons for small-C conservatives to increasingly dislike him (they may be largely Democrats though).

He created the appearance that the Texas AG is someone he can sic on people. He's created the appearance that he can personally destroy individual federal regulators who offend him.

At the moment, he's demagoguing the so-called "Twitter bot issue" - relying on most people not understanding that with a little reading comprehension, Twitter can report their 5% figure and their overall users can be 95% bots without any logical conflict at all.

The fact that he's doing this, as opposed to completing the acquisition in a normal manner is extremely ominous.
Your experience is different to mine. Here in Australia the status page was inaccessible. Which immediately leads to common wisdom on monitoring systems - the monitor must always be separate to the monitored.
>Where's the money in a 50 (or even 1k) tailored vaccine to cure a cancer when a slightly new combination of cancer drugs can cost $50,000 a month for the rest of the life of a patient?

Profit isn't revenue, for one thing. Does that hypothetical $50k/month treatment cost $49,999/month to manufacture? That's the story for a lot of drugs.
This is a semantic distortion of what most people mean when they say something is political.

Yes, a painting of fruit can be discussed within a political context.

But when we say a piece of art is political, we don't mean it can be seen within a political context. We mean that the piece of art is intended to be seen within a political context, or that the political context is blatantly apparent. Yes, this means whether or not something is political is subjective. That's how people use the word, just as they might describe something as angry or meaningful.

When people say "everything is political", just as they say "racism is prejudice plus power", they are discarding the in-practice meaning of these words and replacing them with meanings that were invented to support a particular cause.

As per other siblings, not necessarily actual dementia but symptoms of dementia and the people that are supposed to be able to distinguish these can't/won't/don't.

Another not too uncommon one can occur in older people even when they aren't on drugs: dehydration. The tests they do in hospital to see if you have dementia can easily misdiagnose as dementia when you're simply being dehydrated. Now imagine giving this test to a 30 year old vs. a 75 year old. I've personally seen it attributed to "this person is old, must be dementia". Made sure to hydrate regularly while in hospital (which nurses couldn't/wouldn't/didn't) w/ perfect recovery from their "dementia".

Please beware there are many fake cryptocurrrency investment platforms out there, I got scammed twice before I met a genius hacker who helped retrieve my bitcoin. The whole plan was so smooth I could not doubt it. Bitcoin is actually a great investment option but one thing I discovered over time is that it is not possible to mine bitcoin so don’t be deceived. I invested 2BTC on a particular website called FoxBtc.io, I monitored the profit yielding but got locked out of the account before I could withdraw. I went online and met this recovery expert CryptoSwiftRecovery@gmail. com who helped me retrieve my bitcoins back in few hours. He saved my life , he can save yours
The question isn't whether cheap, green hydrogen would be great to have. It's whether there is any physically possible world in which cheap, green hydrogen is better than cheap, green electricity in general.

The problems with hydrogen aren't just absolute, they're relative.
As a hobbyist electrical engineer, one of the most important things I've learned is that at high voltages and/or high currents, our nice lovely lumped element model is not always accurate. There's enough stray inductance and capacitance in random places that with a very fast voltage spike, anything is possible.
Wheat, true. It’s questionable if they can still do much in titanium. Neon is mostly Ukraine, Russian rocket engines are pretty much done (they spent everything they inherited from USSR), and hypersonic appear to be a scam.

Here is what they can’t manufacture: electronics. Or planes, or tanks, or even ordinary cars.
>"Intriguingly, the male offspring of the shocked mice demonstrated a similar fear of cherry blossoms—as well as epigenetic changes in their brain and sperm—without being exposed to the shock. These effects were passed down for two generations. In other words, the lesson the grandfather mouse learned, that the cherry blossom scent means danger, was transmitted to its son and grandson."

It's going to take multiple teams replicating that before I even start to believe that claim.
Hypothetically, yes. Practically, that almost never happens. The reason the treatment costs $50k/month is because there is no alternative, and that's how much insurance will pay for it.

Whether or not the unit economics are $49,999/month or $49/month has no bearing on this. Treatments aren't commodities, they aren't apples at the grocer, where if the prices are too high, you just go to a competitor across the street.

Now when we have some free overlapping time and the time zones are kind to us (He's in Europe), we hop into VTOL-VR together and it's just fantastic. Can actually wave at each other from our cockpits while we're on different continents and with the new helicopter DLC we can pilot/gunner in the same craft with each other.

LinkedIn CEO reveals the generational data behind the Great Reshuffle
There is an electrical use case that hydrogen can solve that batteries cannot (at least not anytime soon): moving energy without relying on transmission infrastructure.

On the one hand, this is absurd: transmission lines are all over, are quite efficient, and work today. On the other hand, in some markets (cough California), the incumbent utility prices are rather divorced from actual costs. The ability to make hydrogen, move it on a truck, and turn it into electricity somewhere else, even at 40% overall efficiency, could be much less expensive than selling electricity to PG&E and buying it back elsewhere.
Serious question, how do investors plan on making a return on their investment? Where is the cash in this?

> Weird that you think saying "democratically managed" somehow fixes the principle-agent problem.

Your moving the goal post, but I'll bite anyway. Liquid democracy does as best as one can in that respect (and perfection is the enemy of good), since anyone that's capable can intervene at any point without hindrance. That's not possible in "representative" "democracies."

> This process involves people who have their own ideas about how to interpret what the voters might theoretically want. There is lots of scope for them to make decisions you wouldn't like.

Sure, and anyone who betrays the people could be removed as soon as they do, unlike today. In liquid democracy, you can just override them and with RIC, you can just recall them at will.
Wow, I want to live in this utopia, even compared to other attractive utopias.

Considering that places like Trader Joes were at the same time as pre-Amazon whole foods, selling a lot of similar goods much cheaper, I'm inclined to believe that Whole Foods has almost always been more expensive than it could have been. But back in those days, the higher prices also got you stuff that you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else, and the employees were paid much better than most other retail. Post-Amazon, it feels like the high prices are just because.
I have no problem with wiki trying to expand into other areas, that’s how a company grows. I don’t see any degradation in their primary product and the value they provide is immense. I’m more than happy to see what else they can do in other spaces.
His is duplicated (uncredited, without his permission) numerous places on the internet. And github reproduces it verbatim. So now I expect it to be in even more places.

Disney has at least claimed that they are not pursuing a further extension. The official stance is that its because trademarks and such give them sufficient protection, but it seems likely that the negative publicity around the Sunny Bono act is also related.

A bit niche, but I'd add in Condor and its excellent thermal, ridge, wave, general weather simulations which make virtual soaring satisfying. It's good enough to have races in and you can even connect your normal XCSoar device.
There is extreme vendor lockin with services like Deno. I'm sure that it'll be much more expensive in the future.
Diverting money from building out renewables to building nukes, for whatever purpose, brings climate catastrophe nearer.

If ever there was a process forgiving of intermittently available energy, it is chemical synthesis. The same money spent on wind and solar would produce a lot more ammonia.

Conversion losses don't matter much when marginal cost of generation is near zero, as we get with renewables, but very much not, with nukes. You just build out more panels.
Oh, the joy of finding this software for the first time! I envy the feeling of someone seeing with fresh eyes how powerful this suite is.
"One of the ML mistakes that you will hurt you the most: not collecting the right features. If the information you need isn't in your data, you won't recover it with a better model."

The word 'information' is doing some heavy lifting here. There is nuance - what information could be learned or computed from the data? We can only really guess. When we're wrong about this, then we will design models imperfectly.

Is there enough information in internet text scrapes to solve unseen high school mathematics word problems? The feature engineers of olde would have said no. But there is, to a surprising degree.
No, the HEC pins are probably disconnected in any modern computer/dGPU.

Background: HEC uses 3 pins. Those pins can be used for 3 different protocols: HEC (100Mbps differential signal slightly modified from the Ethernet standard)(1), ARC (1 Mpbs SPDIF signal over a single wire)(2), and eARC (~40 Mbps SPDIF differential signal)(3).

Modern computers with integrated graphics send the HDMI signal from the CPU pins. But in all the examples I could find, those pins are all Displayport (4)(5)! This is because DisplayPort supports HDMI video data wthin its signal. This allows manufacturers to convert that to HDMI with a cheap IC (that is mostly a redriver and level shifter). So they just have a DisplayPort signal exit the CPU/GPU and convert it to HDMI if necessary.

At this point I should note that DisplayPort does not support high-bandwidth auxiliary channels. So higher bandwidth features like HEC would require the converter IC to have a separate data channel to the CPU/GPU. But I couldn't find a DP-to-HDMI IC that supports HEC or eARC. I guess there's just not enough interest.

In theory, some computer/GPU manufacturer could connect the HEC pins to an FPGA that has a high-bandwidth connection to the CPU/GPU to support eARC. But even with that, your hacker would need to reprogram the FPGA to stop being a SPDIF encoder and start being an ethernet bridge. And this hypothetical FPGA can't support just ARC - it would be way too slow to be reprogrammed for Ethernet.

Of course, this leaves out home theater devices. They support eARC, and if their ICs are flexible enough, might be able to speak Ethernet with a lot of programming. But since no devices support HEC, you would have to reprogram devices on both sides of the HDMI cable. And at that point, you could just transmit data over SPDIF.

In short, there's a 99.9% chance that HEC pins are physically disconnected in any computer's HDMI port. Even if they were connected, a hacker wouldn't be able to establish an Ethernet connection unless the device under attack is using a very obscure IC or is ridiculously over-engineered.

Yeah I know about that RRSP line too. RRSP matching was one of the hottest ask at the time but they just brushed it off quickly. The salary was also shitty comparing to others.
CD4007 comes to my mind, but that one is ancient (still available though in a breadboard friendly package).
I still prefer the benefits that come with the hierarchical approach.
You can learn where things are, if you're wrong and didn't know it in advance, you're still close to where you need to be, you can get a sense of how far away things are from each other even without looking them up or being online, and you can use context to reduce the amount of information you need to remember / communicate (e.g. say you're communicating 4 locations close to each other, most likely you can do that with 3+4 words with a hierarchical system).

The benefits of a random allocation vanish if you are building an application where Abu Dhabi, Malaysia and Paris are all reasonable answers. The w3w case is particularly bad because their wordlist is enormous and has so many ways you can confuse things.

I still think that a hierarchical system with an optional checkword/digit/emoji is the best solution to situations where you want to be 100% sure you got it right first time, but I accept that maybe the emoji is a bit too cute, and a normal word or number might be better.

I think the endgame for these types of systems doesn't need to assume online usage. It'd be fantastically useful in vehicle GPS systems for example, especially in countries with poor addressing.

Few people who utter the phrase "trust the science" are scientists or care about science.

In that phrase, "the science" refers to the enforced narrative.
I'd spawn a new DB for that instance too. It can still go a long way to give you a look at how your application worked in the past.
I'd argue the opposite actually. Device owners pay a much higher cost in maintaining multiple, incompatible, devices that each require their own procedure to upgrade, means of notification, etc.

In addition a lot of security when things are fragmented tends to become "security through obscurity". Something that is a small player in a market can still have all sorts of issues that a state-funded actor can find via analysis and exploit. It's also much less likely to have a public actor find and disclose the issue due to the small install base.
Flukes happen and they don't change the fact that your chances are still close to zero in general. If FOX news (or whatever) didn't like him, he would have certainly lost. Don't forget the selection bias: people will be filtered by whether they are what the people in control want. Similar to the propaganda model: You don't need to tell people what to write at your newspaper if you never hire people that wouldn't just write what you want anyway.

I don't know about an upgrade path - it was too long ago for me to recall. For what it's worth, I bought X-Plane 11 on Steam, and X-Plane 10 stand-alone - so perhaps I didn't have many options.

However, something to keep in mind for someone newerish to siming in general - not just flight sims:

Whatever payware you purchase now (aircraft models, plugins, scenery, airports, etc) will almost certainly (with a few exceptions) not port over to the new sim version... meaning you'll have to buy them again unfortunately.

This is part of the reason you still see people flying older sims - they put a lot of money into it, and/or their favorite model isn't available yet or something.

So anything you bought today for X-Plane 11 might not port to X-Plane 12 when it comes out, depending on what engine changes have happened under the hood to X-Plane.

It's not a hard rule, but something to keep in mind.
I really don't like it.

I find I spend my time reviewing Copilot suggestions (which are mostly wrong) rather than thinking about code and actually doing the work.
X-Plane 11 has been out for 5 years now, with regular free updates bringing meaningful improvements. X-Plane 12 is a separate product, but any add-on aircraft you have from v11 will continue to work.
It’s odd hydrogen fuel cells wasn’t mentioned in the article.

I don't understand the argument that they analyzed all the code from their users, used it to train their service, and are now charging for the service.

Do people want to see ads instead?

Or would they be ok paying for Google search (another service trained by all the information we willingly volunteer to them)?

Copilot adds tremendous value and they are justified charging for it.
