There's some folklore in that criticism. Cirrus listed CAPS as its spin recovery technique because it was the easiest + cheapest way to demonstrate that it meets FAR 23.221. EASA didn't accept that and required actual spin recovery, so a test pilot put an SR20 into a spin about 60 times without incident. It sounds like there is some technique to it, but nothing that couldn't be taught in transition training or that you wouldn't expect from such a slippery airframe:

> The Cirrus test pilot performing the spin program noted that while all spins entered were recoverable, they required a method of spin recovery that, while not unique in light general aviation airplanes, is different from that of a light trainer airplane in which a pilot is likely to receive spin training. Significant variability in spin recovery training techniques also exists – ranging from merely releasing the elevator control in some light trainers, to movement of the control to neutral, to brisk forward movement to neutral, to brisk foreward movement past neutral, etc.. In the case of the SR20, the proper spin recovery procedure is to briskly move the elevator control to the full down position. This is an unnatural control movement, when the nose of the aircraft may already appear to the pilot to be pointing down sharply. This is also a movement not typically advocated by spin training instructors due to associated discomfort.

Yes, people should absolutely feel a social obligation to make at least some concessions to the greater good.

While this isn't a complete substitute for regulations that systematically fix issues causes by negative externalities, I'd rather live in a society where a lot of problems are avoided because my fellow citizens generally care about my well being, rather than one in which the government needs to intervene left and right.
I can't mind-read the motivations of the academics here, but I do think the concept of the plebs having great personal mobility has been strangely under disfavor in recent years. As just one example, we saw during the biggest hysteria periods during Covid that people weren't allowed to leave too far from their homes.
Based on the screenshot, it looks like this is set to default to 25 steps. I've been using 50 steps on my M1 macbook pro with 16gb of ram. It takes about 1m30s per image.

The difference is that Clippy was designed to be helpful (and occasionally was), kinda fun to mess around with, only slightly patronizing, could be disabled, could be customized, and generally left the user feeling in control of their own experience and interactions.

Those "cute" wannabe-hip pseudo-hip error messages are the complete opposite. They show up only when you are already annoyed because something is broken, and they make the user feel disrespected. When I see an error message like that, it feels like someone is trying to appease me the way you might try to appease an angry kid with ice cream. They are an insulting attempt to pander to me in order to try to protect me from something I do not need protection from.

Experiencing flow while learning skills and working on something meaningful is happiness.

"It’s amazing how much contentment and sheer satisfaction is found in finding something you are interested in learning and seeing yourself grow as your mind and skills expand while progressing through ever more complex levels. It’s like a video game, but better! Actively learning something stops time, or at least you won’t notice the passage of time because you’re so gratifyingly engaged in something. This is the state of “flow,” or the feeling of energized focus and enjoyment while engaged in an activity that is discussed in the 2011 documentary, Happy."

The community has guidelines. Flagging usually means 'this doesn't belong here'. HN is no heaven for free speech and no user has the right to post anything they want. If somebody was posting flat-earth theories that most likely get flagged and it's not the intention to further discuss the topic or giving the person more audience. There may be other communities that fit your needs better.
I mean I don't know why we have to talk around this point: yes, you can definitely generate pornography with SD. Be prepared to see a lot of weird things, because that super-realism really means it just drives right into the uncanny/body horror valley at full speed.

But the second point here is also wrong: the whole reason these models are interesting is because they can generate things they haven't seen before - the corpus of knowledge represents some type of abstract understanding of how words relate to things that theoretically does encode a little bit of the mechanisms behind it.

For example, it theoretically should be able to reconstruct human like poses it has never seen before provided it has examples of what humans look like and something which transposes to an approximate value - an obvious example in the context of the original question would be building photorealistic versions of a sketched concept (since somewhere in it's model is an axis which traces from "artistic depiction of a human" to "photograph of a human" in terms of style content).

Of course, most people aren't very good at drawing realistic human poses - it's a learned skill. But the magic of deep learning is really that eventually it doesn't need to be - we would hopefully be able to train a model which can be easily copied and distributed which represents the skill, and SD is a big step in that direction (whether it's a local maxima remains to be seen - it's dramatic, but is it versatile?)
Obviously Swift is going to have more features given Lattner started first developing it in 2010, but it's built on flawed foundation given many years after release valid syntax would kill both the compiler and bring down Xcode as well.

Having experienced compiler engineers from the start is important for how well designed the language is syntactically and how strong its foundation is which helps with correctness and development velocity. Swift is always going to be the primary choice for Mac/iOS Apps but it sees relatively little usage elsewhere, either way it's going to be interesting to track Jakt's progress given how well designed it is and how fast they've been able to develop it.

Sensory trick makes objects seem heavy or light in virtual reality
Makes me wonder what city in all the world and all of history up to the present would be the most visually impressive or beautiful.

The present has the challenge of having many orders of magnitude more people, but modern plumbing, electricity, heating/cooling options and underground transport should provide much greater flexibility and potential.
A bike. If everyone just rode a bike, not only accidents would be less lethal, there would be a lot less congestion and pollution. Also we might get fitter too.
I'm not an expert on building codes, but here are my assumptions based on what I've read thus far regarding zoning for residential properties:

1. The structure built on top of the permanent foundation must comply with the building codes of the municipality that the permanent foundation is located in. This requires obtaining permit(s) before bolting the structure onto the foundation.

2. The municipal planning department will have some definition for what would be a legally permissible foundation and what constitutes "bolting down."

There are many companies that specialize in the building of mobile and manufactured homes that are compliant with state- and local-level building codes. But it's very important that people do their proverbial homework, making sure that the mobile/manufactured home does truly comply with the regulations of the intended permanent location.
I had the same thought that the litter created by single-use plastic bags is worth weighing in the equation.

However, a look at a similar study in the US (Life Cycle Assessment of Grocery Bags in Common Use in the United States [1]) points out that "A compilation of all of the statistically-based studies of litter in the U.S. and Canada over an 18 year period shows consistently that “plastic bags” (which includes trash bags, grocery bags, retail bags and dry cleaning bags) make up a very small portion of litter, usually less than 1%. "

So our vision of plastic bags getting into every nook and cranny may not be an accurate perception of reality.

I can't be the only one but free play/build gives me a TON of anxiety. It's like I become paralyzed and my mind just goes blank. I have a young son with a couple tubs full of lego pieces.

OTOH, I love to build Lego kits with directions. I could do it for hours... it becomes meditative.
Just putting on a bull bar on a big truck/SUV in a city center itself isn't destruction of property or intimidation even if it may lead to that. It might actually intimidate some people walking around at street level if they knew how mangled up in it you can get caught, but the vast majority aren't even aware.
Yep we use both! And Midjourney can be added to a private server in Discord which tbh is just like a web app. I prefer Midjourney to Stable Diffusion so far! While having both, I've been more pleased with Midjourney ~80% of the days. Been on DALL-E waitlist for many months but never got access ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Usually the biggest problem with sub-$100 Chinese calipers is they chew through batteries even when off. A real annoyance if you're not using them every day. (And if you were using them every day, you'd just buy Mitutoyo in the first place.)

Since I'm just a lowly woodworker, I just buy second-hand dial calipers on eBay.
That makes sense -- in that case my first instinct would be to attempt using the "information schema" (metadata about tables and their columns) to get the tables I'm interested in (and their columns). Luckily all that metadata is presented as regular old tables itself, so it's pretty straightforward to query!
So they once dealt with someone you dislike?
Running Syncthing on Fly.io with Tailscale
You know what feature I want? The ability to "upgrade" any text that matches some specific set of properties (eg. "Font size > 12, bold") and apply a particular style to it. People create all kinds of horrifying fucked up Word documents with DIY manual formatting, and cleaning it up can be a huge chore.

People don't seem to realize that Word (and LibreOffice Writer) is actually a pretty good document processing and typesetting program, for when you want more features than Markdown/Adoc/rST but you don't need the meticulous precise control of *Tex. But you need to use features like footers, styles, cross-references, etc.
“Flow” is not the typical addictive video game, with a dopamine reward cycle. It’s when you do something hard, satisfying, and you are good enough to relax into doing that hard thing. Aptly-named “flowy” mountain bike trails are a great example.

It’s not sustainable over many hours because it is hard, and you have to come up for air. But you feel whole, well, satisfied, in doing it.
You can also defer this skill set to an AI like stable-diffusion or DALLE2 these days.

> On Twitter, offended students and others called for Negy’s termination with the hashtag #UCFFireHim. The next day, a UCF press release called his tweets “not only wrong, but particularly painful,” announced an investigation into Negy, and directed students with complaints to a website and phone number.

Regardless of whether you agree with this person's opinions or not I think it's safe to say Twitter has become an actual cancer on the world. Especially in America. I've heard plenty of times at work people unironically say "I don't want to get canceled on Twitter" for saying something relatively mundane that in context was fine, but if written in a small tweet would start a feeding frenzy.

It is absolutely silly to me that we've let a bunch of upset over-educated under-worked twitter goons have so much external power. Some people deserve to be "canceled". It's not twitter users job's to form a mob and prevent people from ever being employed again. I have no idea why or where this started but it probably has to stop for political discourse in America to turn into anything less than immediately incendiary. Reddit has the same problem. I rarely say anything super inflammatory on the internet but this mob mentality has prevented me from contributing to various projects on github, joining discords, etc for fear one of these eternal-victims gets their feelings hurt and decides to dedicate a large portion of their life to destroying mine.
And barring that, an electric scooter.
Sedans and coupes have gotten larger as SUV’s and 18 wheelers have become more and more common on the roads. They get bigger in part to fit safety features into the areas you can’t see. These cars get heavier because of government required (in the US and EU, anyways) safety systems like airbags, backup cameras and all of the wiring and other parts such systems require.
I might as well also mention that we are talking about differences of a a few dozen nanoseconds at most per instance, and that even then the noise threshold is normally well above that, and that it’s difficult to show significant results in benchmarking at all because you require preposterous amounts of serialised HTML to get a measurable result at all.
Japan has percentage-based liability, and generally speaking there is a large onus on the driver of cars to do the safe thing when close to smaller groups.

For example, you have to slow down to under 10km/h in theory if there are small children on the sidewalk next to you. Up until recently, a bike collision with a driver was considered 100% the driver's fault even if the bike was riding against traffic (That was changed so that the liability is 100% if the bike is riding on the right side of the road).

The point of all this is that there is such a thing as mixed liability, and the idea that it's either one or the other person's fault is just completely unworkable. And because there's this percentage-based system, you can ratchet up the liability based on who is more likely to cause major damage, without having binary results for really tough things.
Okay. In that case, I think I strongly prefer the tax!
How are you able to automate anything involving archive.ph?

Everything on that site that triggers a page-scrape is behind Google's ReCAPTCHA. And they've got the threshhold set at "hyper-aggressive" -- way above any other non-email-sending site I know of. It's the one site that I still get hit with a captcha from every time (excluding direct links to already-archived pages -- those don't seem to trigger the captcha).
This is neither here nor there.

Suppose you have a "working theory" about how birds fly, but no theory about other things might hypothetically fly. Does that afford you to claim "Nothing other than birds can fly"?
It's not quite a new implementation, since the initial version of enaml was implemented almost a decade ago, and was partly inspired by an earlier toolkit called Traits/TraitsUI - https://github.com/enthought/traitsui.
> As recommended by IETF standards track RFCs, existing deployed systems apply a search list to single-label names prior to attempting to resolve them.

Note that it says "prior to" rather than "instead of". This is a reason not to use them from an operators POV, not a reason to block them.

> most users entering single-label names want them to be resolved in a local context

Most users have absolutely no idea how any of this works.

> These include causing traffic intended for local services to be directed onto the global Internet

I've never experienced any system that applies the search list after trying the label by itself.

It's really not though. Many (most?) languages have some way to annotate function calls with logging logic

> function calls in a backend can require passing some kind of a huge config structure, or might be entirely unavailable if you're using a compiled language

Not really sure what you're referring to here
You can't write software without training wheels either, you just think you can.

I know enough about C to know that I can't write it safely 100% of the time, especially when you introduce things like parsing untrusted input and threading. Thinking you can do this safely, and thinking you don't make mistakes suggests you actually don't know as much about C as you think you do.

There number of subtle and unexpected things that cause UB are pretty concerning. Most of our software that we rely on day-to-day is filled with subtle bugs, many of which will eventually be exploited and used for RCE and other nasty things. I don't understand how that couldn't concern you!

To be clear I don't think we should stop teaching C or anything that extreme. I don't think it should stop being used completely either. Mostly just that we should prefer safe languages when possible and practical, or use hardening features when we do use unsafe languages, like bounds checking for example. A lot of times I think we shouldn't even prefer rust, a lot of userspace software can be written in a GC'd language without issues.
Do you want to explain how it's relevant then?
Great advice, I decided that I'm not willing for my dad to be dead -- who do you suggest I take the issue up with to get the unfairness resolved?
>As for GDP terms it only surpassed Great Britain around 1880 and then had its global share peak in 1960. It's been downhill since.

If you have a bizarre, adversarial world where someone else's gain is your loss, then sure. In nominal terms it's been uphill since.
Read the link a bit above this one about how the ACLU is praising this group. Free speech can be problematic in this age of disinformation and media manipulation, but it's also under attack from the left. FIRE seems non-partisan and sincere.
it is my understanding that Sabine's intention is to say "as you go further back in time, approaching some singularity, Thing Happens at N seconds before you get all the way back to the singularity". So, I think you are correct, and her phrasing has caused this confusion around "before" and "after" terms.
I don't believe for one moment that the HUD on a modern SUV requires all that space for its wires. It's a commodity computer connected to a commodity touchscreen. The airbag hasn't meaningfully changed in the last 25 years, either.

Cars have gotten larger for two primary reasons: larger crumple zones (a legitimate safety change!), and to circumvent emissions regulations. Of those, the latter has been a much stronger pressure.
It's a fascinating topic, especially as you become older. The saying that the only thing more tragic than not getting what you want is finally getting it seems true based on experience. It kind of suggests an ascetic lifestyle, or at the very least, having a well developed sense of "enough".

Schopenhauer had a lot to say on this subject. His conclusion was that you could escape these hedonic forces/desires by engaging in art, philosophy, etc. Similar to what TFA is suggesting.
I agree that momentum should be the prime consideration. Especially as it relates to heavy trucks. Those guys shouldn’t be allowed to go over 55.
> Using three separate identification strategies we show that, controlling for own-vehicle weight, being hit by a vehicle that is 1000 pounds heavier generates a 40–50% increase in fatality risk. [...] We consider two policies for internalizing this external cost, a weight-varying mileage tax and a gas tax, and find that they are similar for most vehicles. The findings suggest that European gas taxes may be much closer to optimal levels than the US gas tax.

In an environment of wealth inequality, this seems like another way that the wealthy can benefit: easily afford to drive heavier vehicles that increase their personal safety while increasing the lethal threats against the poor.

How about instead: if larger vehicles are more dangerous for the population overall, then they should be banned for everyone, not only effectively off-limits to the poor.
Does a lookup for "ai." work without it? That is (explicitly, even!) a FQDN...
Didn't Gödel prove that you can't prove a theory with its' own ruleset?

In physics maths always go haywire durnig phase changes, as gas laws don't apply to liquids, and such.
Comments like this make me think we should have a “speech tax”, online comment licensing requirements, and a real-name mandate.

My favorite “pie-in-the-sky-impossible-in-practice thing”: force anyone advocating for this kind of petty authoritarianism (my sardonic comment included) to wear a neon pink t-shirt in public, labeled, front and back, with “I tried to be a little dictator on the internet and all I got was this stupid t-shirt”

IMO the appropriate response to this is to open source it, once the source is out in the wild then there's not much they can do about it.

Can you explain further? That still doesn't make sense to me.
I think you're right. There's certainly been an uptick during COVID in cities, however.
> Having the allocator type be part of the collection type means every thing that needs to work with that collection also needs to be generic on the allocator type.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but... Not necessarily? since zig is duck-typed at comptime, you could in principle pass the allocator in as a parameter "at runtime" and let the compiler figure out the allocator type.
Yeah I'm pretty sure it was the closeness to my house from where he parked on a relative's farm.
