> 1… But given that more intelligence requires more brain mass, which results in more metabolic costs, one would expect us to have the lowest possible level of abstract intelligence required for surviving in the precise ecological niche in which Homo sapiens developed: the barest minimum intelligence needed to scrape through a few million years of hunting and gathering until we got lucky and stumbled into the Neolithic Revolution.

This is atomically reductive to the point it loses the point of the question. Humans are social creatures, not individual calorie expenditure calculations.

Groups of early, successful humans had different needs. Broadly, they needed workers just smart enough to complete tasks, warriors with exceptional physical characteristics, and a class (typically ruling) with higher cognitive function to keep the society organized and to protect it from existential threats.

The size and complexity of the group is limited not just by the ruling class’s cognitive function, but the baseline populations’ ability to conform to more complex social structures. Larger groups can conquer smaller groups, creating an evolutionary advantage for groups that produce occasional individuals with much higher cognitive function, and a baseline level of cognitive function to maintain a cohesive tribe.

This forms the basis of culture and tradition, which create a reinforcing evolutionary bias for higher cognition that can extend past many generations as well, where individuals with exceptional cognition have more offspring, because the characteristic is viewed as exceptional. You’ll find evidence of this in religious texts like the Torah. It’s a survival mechanism.
It amazes me the way the pilot doing the demonstration in the video (embedded in TFA) is so calm and matter-of-fact about the process. It's putting a remarkable degree of trust in an automated system, which, if there were some edge case failure, would be fatal.

I lived in a small town of less than 20,000 and two days after the attacks, a rock slide fell onto one of our buildings in the city. I remember many freaking out that we were under attack. It's hard for many people to realize how spooked everyone was when such an unprecedented attack took place. No one felt safe for weeks after.
You could take a look at EdgeDB. It's built on postgres, but uses its own query language and data model. Its data model has build in support for links and polymorphism. The query language EdgeQL makes it easy to follow links and output embedded arrays.
I agree with the comments saying you should use React. I always come back to it and never regret using it.

That said, there are some time killers you might not be anticipating up front (and this is true of basically whatever framework you use).

You will jump right past a ton of frustration and fatigue by using a starter template such as create-react-app, next.js's starter script, or remix.run's starter script. This saves you from so much config boilerplate, it's absolutely insane.

It's good to decide how the frontend and backend will communicate early on, which will inform the "starter template" decision. For example, if you know you need your API to be written in Go, it makes sense to use create-react-app in anticipation of a client-side only codebase. If you don't need an external API and would prefer to have a node server tightly integrated with your frontend code (which can be an enormous time saver) with all the bells and whistles (SSR, static rendering), next.js or remix would be appropriate. Of course, you can still choose to have a node server coupled with your app even if you plan to use an external API if you want things like SSR.

And keep in mind that even if you do use an external API, cookie-based authentication works just fine if the backend supports it (as with Django Rest Framework).

I typically end up using Django as a backend for the sane migrations, built-in auth, and extensible admin. I find the JavaScript ecosystem in general to be _fucking terrible_ when it comes to managing databases (though there is some ongoing work in this space), and I haven't found a real competitor to Django's auth or admin for early productivity literally anywhere.

Mull these things over for a while before you write any real code.
I'll be really curious to see what the reason for the deployment was. If it was listed elsewhere, I have missed it.

Looking at the CAPS pulls on SR22## aircraft, the primary reasons are almost always either 1) pilot error or 2) engine issues.

Getting to the point of being insurable in a VisionJet is likely no small feat, though I admit I have no idea what the minimums and/or ratings required are to obtain an affordable policy. I am expecting that a low-time pilot is not going to be able to afford the insurance.

Turbine engines are notably reliable, so am curious if there was some other kind of issue.

In any case, glad they are OK and am interested to see the NTSB report someday in the future as to the cause.

I don't doubt that the "tired light" theory has been slain. I can update my orientation from your informed response without hesitation. However, I don't think I'm truly talking about the "tired light" theory in a way that plugs into your understanding of it. Although I mention debris in the article, and then kind of took it off the table, what I still have left to posit is that light propagation looses energy over billions of light years, not some short distances that can be tested in a lab or verified via other corroborating observations that relate to shorter distances or parallax geometry. I've completely placed my theory and conjecture out of reach of the lab! Or have I? If I have it might not be worth much in the community of experts, but it still means something to me because I feel like, and nobody seems to be responding to this in any detail, cosmic speed limits are being broken all over the place, as my article states.

I remember that being reported on while the video was still seen standing in the live feed playing behind the reporter, and thought it was so curious because it hadn't, and then it falling.

I also recall there being a third or fourth plane that was diverted by a terrorist and perhaps two more crashes. At the time, on the live newscast, there was another plane headed toward the pentagon and one more headed somewhere else. One crashed in a field, one crashed into the pentagon and left a small hole in the wall. There are so many details from the news broadcasts that day that don't line up and don't get spoken about.

Partly the reason why there are so many theories out there about what happened that day is the amount of conjecture in the reporting never got rehashed, there was never an examination after the fact of who said what and why it was or was not the case.
Statistically speaking? I have read somewhere that you are more likely to be killed by a meteor impact than winning the jackpot in ⟨some lottery⟩. Statistically speaking, that is nonsense. Nobody is known to have been killed by meteor impact, but many people have won the jackpot. I don’t know if the claim is true or not, but if it is, it is because some possible meteor impacts could kill millions, possibly even billions. They are just too rare to show up in a statistically meaningful way yet (fortunately). I hope the relevance of this example to the discussion of nuclear safety is obvious. I believe the technical term is “long tails” (of a probability distribution). Long tails are notoriously difficult to reason about.

This is not to say that I am absolutely opposed to nuclear power, but I don’t think the debate is easily settled one way or the other.
> The reason I suspect is that the companies that run and build large nuclear power plants are to a large degree the same companies that are involved in running fossil fuel plants. Renewables essentially threaten the business model of building large power plants that will run and provide guaranteed profits for decades, while renewables which are much more decentralised threaten their business model.

Citation needed, citation needed, and citation needed. Large wind farms are mega corporate and there's a zillion corporations competing to create big solar installations or to corner the market on solar installs.

> These discussions are essentially aimed to distract from the important goal of reorienting our energy production toward renewables.

And many argue "renewables" should include nuclear, because of how much nuclear fuel there is on this planet. We are in the current carbon bind because economies followed the cheapest, most incremental solution to adding energy production, greased by political corruption and gaslighting. Short-sighted, focused only on solving the problems of the present. Renewals with huge footprint like big solar installs and wind farms are exactly the same kind of short-sighted thinking that will gift us another pile of problems in 30 years. Nuclear power, particulary with small modular reactors, is the best long-term bet. Coupled with residential solar installations, which basically don't mean any new land use, this is a future that is sustainable. Not vast deadlands anywhere.

The WTC was attacked in ‘93 by people affiliated with Bin Laden and there were numerous attacks on US interests leading up to 2001. In 2000, the USS Cole was attacked, for example, with a string of embassy bombings throughout the 90s.
Maybe a nice in-between stepping stone: let people choose what portion of their taxes goes where.

Maybe we find out that good portions of government spending like education, social welfare, etc all get a huge boost in funding whilst leaving military and other policies with less funding. Maybe it makes everyone happy that they are doing their part for the things they believe are important, like charity. Instead of fighting for crumbs for their cause after most of the tax revenue has been allocated to wasteful projects.

We don't even get to pick this basic thing right now. I don't know about you but it spoils the taste of this supposed democracy to me. And then to be told I'm an asshole for wanting such basic autonomy is the cream on the top. This is not noble and just at all, democracy doesn't deserve such descriptors.

Sorry but I just can't see the beauty in it. Most files are arbitrarily named, without an abstract or overview. Few functions have comments, variables names are inconsistent or abbreviated to obfuscation level. Most code seems printf hackery to account for singular-plural, male-female, human-monster variations of the messages shown to the player. Not particularly easy nor gratifying to read.

I agree but this discounts the harm alcoholism does to those around. It can impact the family, especially children, who which in turn develop psychological issues that alcohol is used to cope with later in life.

It's possible to do, and there's good reasons to do it, but you have to be extremely careful about either (1) specifying all method calls unambiguously, or (2) extensive testing for dependency upgrades. It's very similar to wildcard imports, because you're no longer in sole control of the local namespace.

If you choose to let a dependency inject symbols into your local namespace, and that dependency is the standard library, then you're signing yourself up to have every toolchain upgrade be painful.

Think of it as similar to naming C/C++ types with leading underscores. Yes, you could have gotten away with `typedef int _Bool;` for decades, but eventually the standard library will call that bet.

It seems like you're interpreting "unsound" in a sense similar to "violates type-safety soundness", but I don't think that's what Steve meant and it doesn't seem like a reasonable interpretation.

Why would you _not_ divide up emissions by people? (And especially by country, if that's what you're trying to say.)

Countries don't need to eat, countries don't live in homes that need to be heated, countries don't need to get to work, countries don't travel, etc etc etc, _people do._
It is still incompatible to our current system. Allthough there are very efficient solution to recycle nuclear garbage and bring it on faster decay chains, this process is messy and nobody wants to really touch it. We have the capability, but there is little money to be made and it comes with insane liabilities.
Politicians would need to create a robust and efficient framework, but it is more lucrative to move the waste around with ever exploding costs and fear monger towards the public. We will never see this clearly.

Oil can be bought by the barrel and moved around the globe quite easily, while the carbon footprint can be blamed on any of the producer or you the customer. Wind energy and solar can be injected without much care and little regulation. Both can make a ton of money and need little care. A nuclear driven hydrogen and methanol economy on the other hand, that disposes of the waste with complicated processes, is expensive, complicated, thankless and nearly impossible. Especially with an ever changing political framework.
It seems that the public doesn't understand the nature of industrial civilization. Clearly this is going to have disastrous consequences in the near term future.

Calling people names for disagreeing with you generally doesn't fly here, you need to justify your arguments.

Nuclear has gotten safer over time, as the failure modes have become better understood, and it's always been considerably safer than fossil fuels. There simply isn't any justification for your wild fear mongering.
No. Europeans are pretty poor compared to Americans, so it's not worth going out of your way to scrounge for a few relatively low-return clicks, especially given the legal risk.
Is there such a nicely packaged neural network, but for voice as well?
I’d imagine it might be technically possible but not practical. The weight required for ballistic parachute systems is substantial. On small aircraft (such as Cirrus and Icon) it reduces the useful load, and thus range/payload, substantially. Range and payload are very important aspects of commercial passenger aircraft.

Further, commercial passenger aircraft are already very safe due to system redundancy not practical on smaller aircraft. Would a ballistic parachute system help with many accidents in this category? I would be willing to bet not. Ballistic parachute systems are not a magic bullet - they require substantial altitude/time to deploy (as much as 900 feet in a spin, for example). Many substantial aviation accidents happen during takeoff and landing below or near these altitudes.

Would you pay a multiple of your current airfare for an extremely small (practical) reduction in travel risk?
As a fan of Fobl and their work on Spoogum, i'm not sure you would call it 'arguing' more sharing the obvious downsides of the dinglepop pipeline when combined with the grumpkin anti-pattern.
You don't need to run a network bridge because you want to run two daemons of the same kind.
I think it does at least try to answer this question, their answer is that if we invest money now in renewables to power the web, then that investment will accelerate the reduction in price of renewables, and by 2030 renewables will just be cheaper for everyone everywhere and will be widely adopted.
My problem with this (and similar projects) is that there actually is a dependency: Running the worker!

This may look like a small thing but in a production environment this means that instead of running 1 thing for your django app (a gunicorn or uwsgi app server) you need to add another thing (the worker). This results to

* Monitoring the worker (getting alerts when the worker stops, make sure it runs etc)
* Start the worker when your server starts
* Re-start the worker when you deploy changes (this is critical and easily missed; your worker won't pick any changes to your app whne you deploy it, if you don't re-start it it will run stale code)
* Make sure you have some kind of logging and exception tracking for the worker

All this adds up especially if you need to do it all the time for new apps.

So, my ideal async task thingie would be to start an async worker on the fly when there are tasks; the worker will be killed when the task has finished (or stay alive some time to pick any new tasks, whatever). So no plumbing of running a worker indenepdently.

My understanding is that although this is trivial in languages like Java, C# or Elixir (and even C), it ain't really possible in python because of how python works!

Also, if I am not mistaken, the whole async functionality that python has added and django tries to include does not help on this, i.e even if you use all the async features on django and python you can't do something like create and run an async job without running an extra process (a worker) along with the plumbing that goes with that!

Or I am mistaken? I'd really like to be mistaken on that :)

The comment you're replying to is referring to Homeland. If all you have is an ISP-issued device, then you don't need to worry about it, just use the defaults.

Also, I doubt ISPs will ever change their home routers to default to IPv6 because of the complexity it'll add to customer support with no extra benefits.
That's the 'device with an imperfect response curve', I assume.

In fairness, the readme does state:

> A good microphone is needed, with a wide frequency range and preferably with a flat frequency response.

By 'preferably' I assume it's implied that it can curve-fit (whatever's needed, I know next to nothing about this) to a non-flat microphone response, as long as it's known, but if it's flat then no need.

If it's unknown (and non-flat or assumed non-flat because it's cheap and doesn't make any claims about it) then that's the real problem, no point trying to do anything because it's like trying to construct a level floor with a shoelace for a spirit level.

Principles is a thought provoking book in that it gets one to think of running a business like running a machine. Invest in computers and programming to perform checklist tests constantly so you can ensure your business is operating in the manner you expect. This will require you to think hard about how you expect your business to work. It will also allow you to identify what activities really require your attention.

Macro Assemblers, which were never a thing in UNIX, do offer support for structured programming, see MASM, TASM, or going back to the days C was born, something like HLASM on IBM mainframes.

C was solving the issues of UNIX v3 design, that is all.
