Aviation speeds are named by their operational purpose. In computing, if I share a password between site A and site B, when I login to site B, I'm still logging in using my site B password.

Start at 5m20s where the definitions are given. V1 is the decision speed. Vr is rotation speed. V2 is climbout speed.

What this crew did was compute based on a given headwind to find a V1, Vr, and V2 and then chose an operational Vr that was the same numeric value as the computed V2. That doesn’t make the speed at which you rotate no longer the Vr, but rather the value of Vr be the value of the previously computed V2.

This is laid out at 6m34s where the presenter says they picked the Vr to be the value of the computed V2.
You shouldn't be cynical about technology, it's what people choose to make. The reason is a combination of capitalism, greed, selfishness, etc
I think it's not much of a problem, but even so it can probably be mitigated. There are types of glass (tempered safety glass) which break into tiny little cubes instead of shards.
I first head "everything is a(n)" in terms of Ruby: "everything is an object."

It's an interesting thing to say in terms of the possibilities you get in that language, even if it is clearly false, think of the assignment operator for example. You can't do something like:

=.to_str

because = is not an object, it's syntax.
There is a huge difference between a developer who creates a superior project that everybody loves to use so it gets mass
adoption and one who makes a product that gets pushed by their employer on everyone whether they want it or not. I don't want to get into details as the subject has been beaten to death but as for Systemd* there was the case of integration with graphical login that made choice difficult. Had the author been more sensitive to this issue and cooperated a bit without being stubborn we wouldn't have had Devuan and all that mess. This is exactly NOT the way to do things in open source.

How this typically plays out, AFAIK, is that the interviewee's brother would be the second oldest person in the area. In a town behind the hill, there lives the oldest person in the region - a woman that's over 100 years old. Her secret? The place doesn't do birth certificates, and she took over the identity of her mother once the latter passed away.

> soon enough the vast majority of mass will be catapulted from the lunar surface

Other than naturally falling asteroids, to date we have managed to acquire about 400Kg of moon rock at a price point of roughly $200bln in today's money. That's about $500k per gram.

These speculative predictions about moon & asteroid mining imply technology advances that are so far into the future that they are basically mindless daydreaming. Things like self replicating robots, nuclear space-ships and other sci-fi staples.

We are decades or centuries away from that and the impact of such tech cannot be predicted - they will change society so much that we cannot even begin to imagine their impacts. Sort of like people in the 19th century imagined a future of personal balloons, not being able to imagine the impact of airplanes and the automobile.
It sounds like you're demanding to use someone's service on your own terms. I'm not sure why it's obvious that the service provider is under any obligation to entertain your desires.

It it’s a colleague, I’d limit my exposure. If I am manager, I wouldn’t hire such a person or fire asap. Inability to process indirect and nonverbal communication - aka 90% of human communication - is a major energy sap and drag to anyone interacting with this person. The thing that only responds to explicit verbal instruction is called a robot. When hiring, people expect to be hiring a human with good (albeit ineffable) judgment, not a robot with blank slate.
Haskell is a relatively poor example of a "Everything is an X" language. There are a lot of different kinds of things in the language that aren't all that uniform. Coffeescript out of all things was more in the "everything is an expression" sort of boat.

Ruby on the other hand is a good example of an "Everything is an Object" language, as it seems to be pretty consistent about that.

I have been in favor of 3 changes to the House.

1. Wyoming Rule. No district should be larger than the least populist state.

2. Make DC a Museum. With modern technology there is no need to "send" legislatures to Washington DC, they can vote, meet, etc all remotely. This will make lobbying more expensive, and put the representatives back in their actual communities, because lets face it most of them represent Washington DC not Local Communities.

3. Expand the Term to 4 Years, with a 2 year offset to the president Election. So every 4 years the entire house is elected as a Mid Presidential term Election

There have been patches the last ten years to lessen the impact of 2038, considering how close that is this is a bit worrisome. Nice to see a comparison of different systems like this, but you probably need to track this over time in some way. E.g Pretty sure Gnu date has seen patches about this in the last years.
> You probably want to compare RST vs. Markdown

shrug You know what I mean

You seem really hung up on cross-references as links, but I'm not that big a fan. In particular, Sphinx docs will cross-reference themselves a lot, which is super confusing to me; it makes me think "wait is there a more canonical reference than what I'm reading?", then I click it, then I'm back at the top of the page/section I was just on.

Generally I prefer (fast, good) search, and Sphinx' isn't wonderful: it's basically `grep` for docs. I don't really need that, that's what `App site:textual.textualize.io` is for in DDG/Google.

> I sure as hell am not going to force it on my users if I write e.g. a Rust crate-- I'd have to love rustdoc

I mean, "have to love" is a contradiction. My point is that when you're a FOSS dev, you have to take any motivation you can get and avoid demotivations like the plague. Like in your case, I would assume you'd think twice about switching ecosystems from Python to Rust precisely because of your strong preference for Sphinx.
> You ask this rhetorically, as if it's some sort of intractable

Sorry if it came over that way. I certainly didn't mean it to sound

> 20th century is full of examples of the West "rebooting" the
cultures and economies of non-aligned states

And Britain long, long before that. All have been failures, since all
were looting presented as benvolent reform and aid. People help
themselves, which can generally happen only once the boot is romoved
from their faces. So perhaps "rebooting" is clumsy language, if you're
suggesting that a new boot will simply take its place :)

Maybe de-booting is what we're after?

One cannot impose a culture. But there's no reason it need take "a

pessimistic. Historically, "blind primate hierarchies" [1] have
civilised themselves rapidly under the right conditions. It would be

comes to the point W. James's "Moral Equivalent of War", as climate
change, inevitably brings us to our senses.

You are very clear about the current limitations on data size, which I find refreshingly honest! How sensible do you find the idea to fine tune the model to a specific problem that has more than 1000 observations, by resampling the data (similar to bootstrapping) and retraining on the subsamples? As I understand it, one could fine tune the algorithm that TabPFN learned to the specific problem.

Many thanks also for open-sourcing your work and making the colab notebook, I've been playing around with that a bit.

Robot Framework is a general purpose automation framework.

You can use it to automate
- Web Applications (with Selenium or Playwright)
- Rest APIs
- Desktop Applications (Java Swing, WPF, SAP, ..)
- All kinds of hardware

It offers control-structures like most programming languages (IF/ELSE/FOR/WHILE/TRY/EXCEPT)

The Extensions for VS Code or PyCharm/IntelliJ offer Code-Completion, step-wise Debugging, Linting.

It is very hackable and can be extended using Python.
It has a great API, allowing you to connect it to all kind of other tools.

I guess a lot has happened since some of the people here used it.

But I guess, if somebody is focused on using a single programming Language (like JavaScript) and is not open to learn Python or the RF Syntax I recommend to look into another native test framework

Two years ago when I was applying for a job, every application requested a take-home test.
After doing a few of these, I decided I will NEVER do them again. I will not spend hours coding only to be (at best case) reviewed for a few minutes by someone from the other end.

I know you're saying it is a minor roadblock, but how do I know that you're not going to ghost my application like most of other companies do? That's why most people will not bother to do your test, not something about you, but the broken system.
There Is No Shame in Customer-Reported Incidents
I've started reading books out loud in recent years. After a while I realized I could "read ahead", meaning my eyes didn't need to be on the word I was currently saying, but they could skip ahead several words, up to half a sentence.

It felt like the act of actually speaking had been relegated to a background task that was processing words from a queue, so my eyes and consciousness could operate further ahead in the text, while adding to that queue. It is actually really handy, to get a better flow and intonation, to have a bit of "lookahead" in the text.

I even realized I could start to think about the text I was reading, or even get distracted and think about other things (like I sometimes do if I'm reading silently) all the while continuing to read out loud. It's really interesting when you explicitly notice a task being moved from the conscious to unconscious part of your brain.

Systemd was designed in a way that was more tightly coupled than the alternatives and made adopting it an all-or-nothing proposition, and other projects (particularly Gnome) were also tightly coupled to it. It was absolutely foisted on people: a lot of people didn't want it but found they were nevertheless obliged to install it. The whole thing abused the goodwill of the free software community: systemd folks added systemd-dependent patches to other software, taking advantage of the norm of accepting such contributions, while refusing patches that made systemd compatible with other systems (e.g. non-Linux). And the end result was a state where you can no longer fork and replace components piecemeal - the whole free software ethos, the very reason GNU was built as a Unix-like system in the first place - which does far more to discourage participating in free software development than any mere internet argument.

It is an issue when your parked off grid and run off battery, 90w is significant. My 5G router with wifi 6 pulls under 10w direct 12v DC. It looks like the flat dish is actually 110-150w and requires AC power, so not great for off grid usage as inverter losses will add another 10-20w on top.

I remember this from a gig I did a while ago. Customer wanted to establish their own automated QA and thought Robot Framework was a good fit, because the language „looks easy“. The goal was to enable IT personnel that lacked a technical background, with no programming experience, to write tests.
I was sceptical from the start, and was eventually proven right (I did not enjoy this, it created more not-so-enjoyable work for me).
Test code was flaky to the point of being useless, and contained alot of redundancy.
IMHO it is really hard to write good tests without having a bit of a „programmers mindset“.

How is it based on anything in Excel? There's nothing about test plans in RF. Test plans are about schedules, strategy, deliverables, roles etc. And those are typically garbage. Absolutely nothing related to RF.
This is not true. If one stops growing wheat, corn and other crops as animal feed, there will be enough calories to feed the current population without industrial production of fertilizers or pesticides.

Denmark in 1917 did this and managed to feed its entire population and even export some grains [1] while having population density 3 times more than modern US.

Anyone who thinks it will is absolutely out to lunch, we're nowhere near that. We're at such a crude level with AI that even automated car driving is far out of reach. The amount of "intelligence" in our current AI is laughable and there's no reason to believe there will be significant progress in the next 10 years.

My guess is this will literally NEVER be a thing.

Actually, on average the rich countries that has diverged most from capitalism has been significantly worse.

I'm leaving out the developing countries on purpose here: they may have had it even worse but it doesn't feel fair to blame them.

Nazi Germany and Soviet/USSR (the whole time more or less) can't blame anyone else for the insane scale of human suffering that they created. Both are representatives of centrally planned economies where companies either don't exist in a western sense (Soviet), or only exist to serve the country (Germany).

Hey, I'll also grift any potential customer of this guy by providing the absolute minimum product that could potentially constitute a "usable" piece of code, provide no ongoing support or maintenance and not have any plans for actually onboarding developers to maintain your brand new piece of crap. I'll do it for only $9995 though. Hmu.

To be clear, this is a nonsensical offering. 15 days is not enough to produce any ""MVP"" that couldn't also be made using Google Forms and a spreadsheet. They're promising "1 months for fixing bugs(if any)" which also presumably overlaps with them working on other projects.

Absolute best case scenario, he's templating wordpress/shopify/etc or using MUI or Bootstrap etc with React to shit out CRUD at lightning pace, this is not going to actually attract customers, so it's not really an "MVP" at all, I'd call it a "demo" at best.

Plus the moment you get your first customer you're expected to already be working on the next big thing to keep your customers around, this can't happen if you're spending your launch period sitting on your hands to "validate" the idea.

Just hire a part-time if you want your random idea produced on the cheap, this will turn out infinitely better for you and everyone involved as you'll likely be able to upgrade your developer to a full-time employee if things actually go your way, which gives you at least a foothold in building a team.

Or, get this; learn to code, it's not that hard.

I might be missing something, but this feels like a nothingburger to me. Obviously our understanding, reasoning and perception of reality is a kaleidoscope of memories and previous perceptions.

We couldn't ever "manually" or "consciously" parse raw sensory input and craft the proper neural responses to everything. It has all been pre-processed to hell way before it reaches our conscious little guy in the high tower.

Same thing the other way, the decisions of our mind are mere nudges to more autonomous systems. Even now, you aren't consciously and methodically scanning these words. You decided to read it, and the actual physical and mental operation of reading takes care of itself more or less. It has been delegated.

Likewise, it seems logical that these autonomous systems could act on their own if the input is too dank or if you are trained enough. I'm thinking of panic responses, reflexive behavior, flow states, etc. Sometimes it's not optimal to wait for the little guy to make a decision.

Isn't it obvious that our consciousness sits on top of a layer cake of abstractions? You could call it an "inner simulation" or a "hall of memories" if you want, it's all the same.
> Still, there remain hardliners like Pavel Gubarev, Russia's puppet leader in Donetsk, who voiced his real intention toward Ukrainians: "We aren't coming to kill you, but to convince you.
