> Since it was likely on autopilot

Why do you think that's likely? Because it was a long flight (to wherever it crashed), and pilots tend to use autopilot on long flights? Or is there some other reason?

Would the pilot be able to breathe at the altitude he was flying at? I presume he wouldn't have enough emergency oxygen for the entire time it takes to get to the presumed crash area.

Given the debris that has washed up on various coastlines, would you assume it was a soft landing or hard crash?

What's your take on theory that the plane had a fire and the pilot maneuvered the plane to a high altitude to snuff out the fire, then away from populated areas, then he himself passed away and the plane drifted on its deep ocean course until it crashed?
Does the USA still have chip fabrication capability locally, or in another partner country? If so, can they maintain capacity, or ramp up quickly enough?
Not sure where you are, but a large amount of places are easier to walk than drive in. I live in Edinburgh, and driving through the city, (and even worse, parking in the city) is an absolute nightmare. Walking or taking a bus is a no brainer. Similarly, Glasgow (less so), Dublin, and most major European cities are all significantly more difficult to navigate by car.

I was answering the questions “Are you saying you don't care about the copyright of your own work either? Or you don't care because you don't publish your work OSS?”

Feel free to care.
This is like the definition of "old man yells at cloud".
So suppose you go out and about and a Microsoft representative punches you in the face. Now, the Microsoft representative has a billion dollar corporation backing him, willing to defend him at all cost through every institution, while you're just John Doe who went on a trip.

If you ever went on a hike but never intended to sue anyone. Why did you go out in the first place?

If you did and someone is able to punch you in the face without any lasting damage, without reputation loss, and via a way they have access to the myriad legal defenses you couldn't come up with if you tried, after you sued them.

How is that game over?

Just because someone corporation is, because of its sheer size, over the law (as far as a John Doe is concerned anyways), does that make it a right? We could probably do away with laws at that point and just accept getting punched in the face by Microsoft whenever they feel like it as the new reality.

IC - Informed Commander ;)

I dislike the term “IC”[1].

If employee is really an IC, then he/she doesn’t have a place on the team. It’s only OK for temps & outside consultants/freelancers.

This term implies that there are no P2P mentoring, leadership w/o authority, etc., but the truth is there are lots of that just under-the-radar, i.e. Dark or Shadow Engineering Management.

> Human beings in a span of a few hundred years managed to go from the advent of electricity and industrial society, to artificial intelligence—all in what amounts to not even a blink of a cosmic eye.

Also keep in mind that Humanity is a latecomer to the universe. We weren't the first species to evolve on Earth. First came the dinosaurs, about 230m years ago, and lasted till about 66m years ago, then went extinct. Then came humanity.

But there may be planets in our galaxy or other ones where intelligent life happened to be the first species to evolve on that planet. If so, they have a multi-hundred million year head start on us, evolutionarily, scientifically, technologically.

Yeah, there's no possible XCOM project against that. We just have to hope they're benevolent. (And if they've solved scarcity with energy->matter conversion, as in Star Trek, they may very well be - there's nothing we have that they could need or want)
Well if you want to look at specific attack vectors this one may have remote access issues based on what and where you store the source code. I'd guess OP knows what he's doing, but someone trying this with an accidentally open repo or comprised machine are possibly bigger risks here then with most other TOTP solutions.

Equally it has the hardware key flaw of being able to be physically stolen, but with no option of an additional lock, and more likely then most systems that you might leave the totp running so a camera exploit is a little easier then with an app maybe.

Not to say I think any of this is likely, and with the exception of a public repo mistake, it's probably a lot harder then an SMS exploit.
I read the book as kid after seeing the movie. I don't remember it so well, but one scene I liked in the book absent from the movie was the "compies" killing Dr. Hammond with narcotic bites.
New way of founding allows founders to retain 100% control. Facebook and Google are examples in their early years.

You can be happy working at a lower salary, doesn't mean that its not exploitative or that it distorts the labor market. Especially with the knowledge that the company holds your residency in their hand.
Bioinformatician here. Consider using bgzf instead. It's fully gzip backwards compliant (it is a subset of gzip), but de/compression can be implemented to be much faster, and it's also much easier to paralellize. Compression rates are slightly lower, i.e it creates larger files.

The bgzf format was invented for bioinformatics, and BAM files are bgzipped by default.
Looks quite handy on a USB power bank:

https://www.revk.uk/2022/09/battery-pack.html?m=1

"Obviously these various battery packs were now all flat. One of the reasons for a battery back is for when you suddenly find you need portable power for something like this.

All flat, except one!

I can only assume it was getting enough light from my office lights, even in a clear plastic box, to actually stay charged."

That is, not to charge the power bank (which would take ages) but to keep it charged during storage.

ohhhh, so that's why, when my people got their PhD and Master degrees from universities suddenly sci-hub stopped working correctly. I put out the word that it was possible to get any study ever and people asked me this year for a bunch of studies that, prior to this year, should have been the definition of ease.

Months later, I'm still waiting on sci-hub or anyone to get access to the studies.

The real WTF is science publishing. never-mind reproducibility of the studies, just getting the study in the first place is a predicament. at least genesis still works for 85% of requests i get.

Ask HN: Recommended Rust Resources?
Couple days ago I started learning rust and I am amazed how helpful the compiler is, and how well-documented the packages are.

Do you guys know any resources that you find crucial to learn for starters? I've found the following helpful but im curious for more..

Google helps you find someone's content. Copilot helps you rip off someone's content.

> While not rioting in real life, it feels familiar.

The Ultima Online postmortem session from GDC 2018 has some similar stories about in-game protests. The stories in said session are quite entertaining, and there is a lot of other interesting information too in the session. The whole thing is worth a watch.

You eventually, at some point, write your own code which is not reproduced. From what I see Copilot authors state that copilot is reproducing code, it is not inventing new code like human being would. It seems to be big and efficient database of somebody else's code that it reproduces.
If you train your dog to NOT attack random passersby and it still does, that dog is euthanized no matter your intentions.

Of course, but you will not face manslaughter charges in that case.

So, following the same logic, if you train your copilot NOT to infringe on other people's copyright and it still does, it should be destroyed no matter your intentions. But at least you won't be charged with copyright violation yourself.

That said, I don't believe Microsoft's actions to be benign. I think this copyright whitewashing scheme is fully in line with their old MO, purposefully creating a legal quagmire surrounding all open source code.
This is why it is important to not depend on a single commercial IDE to do all your work. Datagrip has been my go to for sql but would be willing to switch back to dbeaver if I had to. I also use Pycharm when a client has me working with Terraform alongside python repos. However the ide sugar for Terraform isn’t that beneficial and I often feel it would be better if I just went back to vim with a few tweaks for .tf files
ReStructuredText seems like it would be a better contender because it's the standard markup language for the most popular programming language.

It's also natively supported in VSCode (unlike AsciiDoc).
what's not to like it? It is delicious.
I'm so surprised at the vitriolic response people are having to the change. I spent many of my formative years writing in Eclipse and was an early adopter of WebStorm. I'm no stranger to the IntelliJ style interface. But it has always been a huge impediment for me. It feels clunky, loud, disorganized. Like a desktop with random papers spread out everywhere. And like someone who has one of these desks, I'm sure the people who are upset know exactly where the stapler that they buried 3 months ago is but for me it's just a mess. This new change looks fantastic and might make me not feel so slow working with IntelliJ products.
> It would be because it's illegal and violates the licenses, desires, and intentions of the thousands of workers who wrote the code in its corpus

I'm almost entirely certain you're wrong about the desires bit. 99% of the developers who wrote that code won't mind.

Lunar calendar? How about the rotation of the earth? I imagine the further out it gets, the further out our moment of inertia, the slower the earth spins. Days get longer, but the length of a year stays the same. That'll be a fun one. We would probably have day length deniers/365 purists who believe nothing is changing for centuries.
It does but even if it didn't, it shouldn't discriminate against anybody. Cash is an essential thing, almost like the air you use to speak and breathe, food and basic hygiene. Even known criminals, even terrorists as long as they are allowed to live, should have an unconditional right to exchange some basic amounts of money to take care of themselves and be capable of productive interactions with the surrounding world.
bigint is the default data type for sequences and it's highly unlikely that somebody would reach an overflow with it.

I've worked on various database solutions, both rdbms and analytical and I find sequences to be one of the most misunderstood features in the industry. The only guarantee they make is that they generate unique values. Some of the newer distributed rdbms don't even guarantee they'll be monotonic.

Relying on them generating consecutive values is a sure way to get vendor lock-in to whatever database has made that guarantee.
> It is likely that

Here's the real problem:

We're on a forum in which most of the participants are in at least the
top 0.1% of technical ability, and yet here we are waving our hands
and speculating on "what AIs think" and how "they probably/likely
compute" things.

Last week I met with a director of a new "AI" research group, chuffed
to the nines with a massive research grant he just landed. I'm happy
for him, with only one little concern - that he knows nothing
whatsoever about machine learning or mathematics and outspokenly
doesn't believe that "knowledge is that important in the new reality".

Copyright infringement is an inconvenience for people who worry about
that sort of stuff. Sure. But don't you all see a much more serious
issue? It's bad enough that code is already so precariously bloated
and over-complex nobody bothers to debug critical applications any
more. Now we want to add "assistance" from tools that nobody
understands.
What about the experience of (a much, much higher number than were affected by Chernobyl) people who die every year from cancer and other diseases caused by burning fossil fuels, especially coal?

Are their lives less valuable than the right of the so called environmental activists (mainly referring to the ones from the 80s and 90s) to impose their irrational views on the rest of the society? If nuclear expansion continued at the same pace it did in the 60s and 70s we’d probably have CO2 emissions under control by now. Instead we just wanted several decades waiting for renewables to become cost effective.

> This experience, shared by millions of people, has done much to cast doubt on the claims that such risks are technically controllable.

Yes, people are irrational. I mean nuclear isn’t 100% safe but it’s objectively safer than burning fossil fuels. So it seems absurd to me to be fine with burning diesel and coal but now with nuclear.
Based on how they interacted with the users when they removed the colors for the icons, I don't think they care about user feedback and will just post made up reasons for the change ("colors are distracting when coding").
This was a great watch, thanks for posting! A book I read recently called "Cloud Money" also re-iterates the point perfectly.

The new design is bad intentionally to improve their performance numbers, that it's still online and that the whole site didn't go the way of digg means they pretty much nailed it.
As I said, the former government startet the nuclear phase-out but they also didn't approve any new renewable energy sources for years.

Regardless of the type of power plant, it is totally stupid to shut down some and not allow any new ones to be built.
Merkel adopted the anti-nuclear stance to take votes from the Greens, and her administration accelerated the shutdown of Germany's nuclear power plants after Fukushima. Don't blame the Greens, although I do think they are a dogmatic single-issue party and don't see the forest for the trees.
Just so happens I think the case is bullshit. You would have a point if I supported Oracle.

It’s actually really stupid.

Not having ethics/empathy is actually _really dumb_ way to run a company.

They end up making a lot of people miserable. Eventually, all of the technology, market advantage yadda yadda catches up. IBM, Yahoo, heck even Meta/Facebook. Amazon won’t last.

But in their wake, they leave behind very different testimonials.

Working people to a grind has its obvious needs in times of crisis — I mean, that is literally what nations do via conscription in times of war. Everybody knows that.

But prop that culture up in a so-called attempt to stave off laziness, rest-and-vest or whatever and you’ll end up in state of perpetual war: a bleak, stupid world not even worth living in, let alone worth dying for.
I don't think so.

I was researching Keycloak integration with Kubernetes (a project needed it at the office).

I installed it on bare metal, set-up its TLS certificates and enabled native HTTPS. While searching for integration I found a video. The person installed Keycloak Docker image, and dropped an HTTPS proxy container in front of it to enable TLS/HTTPS.

If this is not both bad practice and being misinformed about Keycloak in one step, I don't know what it is.

The person didn't learn how to use and administer Keycloak, didn't make good judgement calls about security and published bad information while doing that.

Docker is easy to abuse and creates people who think know stuff, but do not in reality.

Docker. Pull Responsibly (TM).
And in this case it seems one function of the software is interfering with another, which causes the incorrect display.
I personally don't care about the copyright of my own work when it comes to code. I publish the majority of my work anonymously with a clause that just says something along the lines of "feel free to use some or all of this without any attribution." Denying others from using my code feels like it goes against the essence of OSS itself. It's like if I found the solution to some complicated math problem but didn't let anyone else see it because it's "mine."
Nah, you're definitely the few. Its not a random sample, but an informal survey of my coworkers found no one who would care and generally positive sentiment.

The people who comment on something are disproportionately those who care a great deal.

Good point, I hadn't thought about it this way. Will people prefer fake living in the Bahamas over watching other people really living in the Bahamas? It's an interesting question.

It'll also require actual interaction without displaying your physical appearance, which Instagram, TikTok and Snap seem to have killed.

I do like the idea of digital gatherings though. Being able to chill and interact with a distant family member like they're right next to you is pretty cool.
Yeah, but it was a joke. It's funnier if the Pirate Party "steals" the AI leader than just copies it. And it works, since copyright holders frequently refer to piracy as theft.
I suspect the reason the military decided to go on a public PR campaign about UAPs is to keep people looking for foreign drones zipping around. There's a distributed network of hundreds of millions of phone cameras in every corner of the country, and the UAP meme can be the motivation to record and amplify sightings of adversarial drones.

Also, admitting that adversaries might be/are flying drones in US territory would be embarrassing domestically and internationally, and could cause a panic. Steeping it in mystery and hinting at "aliens" is silly and interesting enough to be a harmless spectacle.

I didn't know "motion sickness" needed a new catchy name, but here we are.

That said, yeah, there's gonna be a motion sick crowd, it's gonna be notably large, and membership at the moment is effectively random (having done a sport with seasickness, sailing, you'd be surprised who is susceptible to motion sickness despite doing the thing _all the time_).

VR is gonna be a tough sell to the masses until this is sorted out more, is my rather non-informed opinion. Complete physical disorientation isn't something that happens often day-to-day.

The Moon Kerberos of Pluto is actually very very close to the size of the sun in the sky (of by being 0.0099° compared to the suns 0.0089°, around 11%), so the earth isn't the only planet (if you count Pluto as planet, otherwise, but it's still a solar body you can stand on where a moon is roughly the size of the sun).

realistically everyone wants to know where they stand. There's certain "arranged" understandings when it comes to science (and all academic) publishing, and navigating that to provide a uniform interface to the actual documents is the "hard part" - although realistically, a file is a file, and distribution should be "easy".

recently i needed to check what domains i had purchased through various domain name providers (namecheap, godaddy), and i nearly lost access to my godaddy account because of the TOTP/verification stages. I consider cellphone numbers ephemeral, as i consider all phone numbers. I've been told that a dozen numbers in twice as many years is too many, but i refuse to get led around by the nose by cellular providers. So TOTP only works if i have access to the - few - phone numbers i had access to when i signed up. Several services (including some mentioned) used to have voice TOTP, but no longer do, and use an SMS bridge. Some want me to have an app on a phone *with a(n) (e)SIM*. my email service is attached to a domain name that i very nearly lost access to management for. I was complaining about an old gmail address i had and i decided to look at my overall domain health and found it lacking.

someone who is - forgive this - "balls deep" in a degree just wants whatever they publish to work for their advisors and graders. Obviously research assistants and research students in a masters or doctorate program are held to a slightly higher standard of "publish or perish" because of the way grants are written and assigned. It's all garbage, and has been for at least 15 years.

sorry for my meandering, but i felt these two annoyances are related.
