skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
Everyone here is at least a little misinformed regarding their software and it's simulation abilities. They have control systems with the data they need, and this data is fed into the flight scheduling & monitoring UI. Their tech works, it just gets bashed on because it's different than a lot of other airlines. Used properly it can account for these things.

What causes things like this is overbooking. Overbooking happens in more than just butts in seats. If you're not going to have enough ground crew to handle your SLA on flights, flights should be preemptively cancelled to keep them under that SLA. Airlines keep that SLA as low as safety permits. The max is set by the FAA at 3 hours for domestic flights and 4 hours for international flights (both ends).

Southwest's software is doing it's job, it has adjustable tolerances. It will even take into account weather conditions reducing ground crew therefore raising SLA. But, the effect of the weather conditions on the ground crew is also adjustable by humans. As a matter of fact, while one would think it would just reference historical data, that's not exactly true. It references predictive models that are adjusted by experienced individuals. Those individuals can be ordered to adjust the parameters outside their honest assessment to allow for steps at the beginning of the process to operate smoothly.

Weather prediction has a horizon. Southwest allowed excess bookings beyond that horizon, or they allowed excess last minute bookings. This weather event was massive and one-sided, yes, but it was also completely predictable. A human made the decision to widen the guardrails. There aren't a ton of people allowed to do that, I can think of maybe 3.

Disclosure: I wrote software for SWA many years ago. Nothing I've said here is privileged, in fact most airlines operate this exact way.
Ah the memories of innocence in computing :)

1982 was the worst recession the US had since the Great Depression. Our family struggled then; unfond memories. I'm not a believer in astrology, only pointing out that 1982 was not a happy time.

I also discovered net send in high school and abused it similarly for a brief time, but never knew it had wildcard support! wow
I try to sort out the dependency issue with one of the following solution (order relevant)

1) fork and fix, submit PR and use my fork until PR is not merged, if ever;

2) find replacement;

3) remove it and find workaround to implement the user feature in other way;

4) just completely abandon the feature.
And it lives on in design at least through NeoCities [1]

Show HN: Media Hoarder X ChatGPT
With all the craze around ChatGPT a good friend brought up an interesting question: how good could it be in recommending movies and could it be integrated in Media Hoarder - the media frontend?

I tried a few queries to ChatGPT:

- "Provide a list of oscar winning movies of 2020 and their IMDB IDs"

- "Provide a list of mind-bending movies and their IMDB IDs"

- "Provide a list of action movies where the protagonist is female and wields a shotgun and their IMDB IDs"

and ChatGPT's answers are quite spot on!

The next task was: How to integrate ChatGPT into Media Hoarder?

Media Hoarder runs on Electron which allows to fully control a browser window. So you can:

- open up a browser window and launch https://chat.openai.com

- ask the user to have ChatGPT also return IMDB IDs

- and continuously poll them from the DOM

All in all, a really nice feature, implemented without much effort.

Of course, as we all know, ChatGPT isn't always correct but very confident. So no answer it provides should be trusted 100%. But I think it's a great start in discovering movies. You can always go deeper with Media Hoarder's metadata and filtering abilities.

Truly a shame. Good marketing tho
Thanks for your feedback, appreciated! We are working on a new update to fix these issues.

TI was extremely generous with free IC samples when I was a student, so at least some of the company learned that lesson.
What about https://randomnerdtutorials.com/lilygo-t-sim7000g-esp32-lte-...?
Maybe because it doesn't really happen? I've been buying ebooks on Amazon from the beginning. Never had one disappear. I know it can, but in practice it's not a concern.

YMMV, if it doesn't work for you, don't shop there.

It's funny that techies, of all people, don't realize online digital content doesn't last forever. We helped build the system, and now we have to live with it.
I have been curious on CLion for some time. What holds me back is the price and the fact that it is written in Java (I know, the last one is a really bad reason).

What are the main pros compared to VSCode?
Tried Zed editor and never switched back to Sublime. Looking forward to see Zed on more platforms! Currently, it’s just macOS.

SF is disgusting, and SV in general is so expensive to live in and enjoy. It feels unsustainable for a region to profit so much from remote work that itself is so bad to live in if you aren’t already successful. People can just ignore the homeless WFH and uber to their bars and restaurants, with staff who can’t even afford to live there, I had to leave.
Blender.

Learned to use it over the year and its UI is so much better than 3ds max, which is particularly impressive for an open source project; they are usually weak in things that require cohesive overall vision.
This is a bit random, but your comment reminded me of the film The Dacians (1966) which portrays the impending Roman invasion of Dacia. It's a good film. I don't know how historically accurate it is, though.

Crypto Adds Unsavory Footnote to Dreadful 2022: Year of the Rug Pull
> Will his politics draw in people on the other side who were previously skeptical of EV's?

Not a snowball's chance in hell. The hangup most people have with EVs is the price and the uncertainty that the car would sustain their lifestyle (which is particularly a concern for people living outside of cities.) It was never "EV car execs are insufficiently conservative."
I just got this book for Christmas, it's a really excellent guide into the internals of a Linux system.
Yes, I like it when flying alone. On other airlines you get to choose where your seat is at. On Southwest you get to choose who you sit beside.
HCQ is a much misunderstood substance as a result of the political furor around it.

It is not a miracle drug and it is not useless for all medical purposes. It is a relatively mild anti-malarial drug with some anti-inflammatory properties. It is prescribed for autoimmune disorders in addition to malaria. Its anti-inflammatory/immune regulation effects are probably not that strong but its safety profile is well understood.
Yea, I would assume a large percentage of startups that use Wi-Fi adopt esp32 since it's much easier and cheaper to get up and running compared to the competition.

More established companies don't need to adopt it but I assume it will change as time goes on. Kind of like how Webview or React Native was scoffed at in the beginning but now it's pretty commonplace even at large companies. Or like when Twilio IPO'ed it started targeting larger firms by building out their sales department because at the time it was mainly a hobbyist platform.

Esp8266 doesn't have Flash Encryption, or Secure Boot, whereas Esp32 does and Espressifs SDK ESP-IDF is maturing. So it's definitely going that direction.

Nordic announced its Espressif Competitor but haven't released the cost yet. Espressif seems to be throwing things at the wall to see what sticks (S2, S3, C6, H2, etc). I think their IPO definitely helped them raise more cash to do more things.

They also had a virtual conference with a bunch of talks https://www.youtube.com/@EspressifSystems
Most of the newest scanners are Millimeter Wave and don’t have any radiation concerns.

I believe they have obsoleted all the backscatter scanners at this point.
does bupstash has 'append-only' mode, or to put it differently: how can I achieve sth similar (ability to do backups, but not to meddle with previous ones) with bupstash features (roles/diff keys etc) ?
Whether you blame Fox news, CNN, Trump, the deep state, the CDC, doesn't matter when addressing the failures of the state and the media. They lost trust with the public. This is measurable in polls and has created a divide in the American people. The result is that individuals and fringe institutions gained ground with millions of Americans; misinforming them and creating controversies that should not have happened.

If the mainstream media and the state didn't lose trust then why would people turn to less credible sources? Because everyone is dumb/crazy? If that is the conclusion people are coming to it seems rather harsh and elitist in my opinion.
Terrain shape model is from elsewhere, but I bet that it is SRTM.

In Czech Republic they use data outside OSM, but last time I checked it was entirely/mostly data released by government of that country.

Roads, buildings, hiking trails, landuse, paths shops outside Czechia are from OpenStreetMap.

Can you give example of anything that is "their own proprietary data"? So far I have not noticed anything like that outside Czechia.
Which is what though? Like what specifically has he done? I'm genuinely curious what people are offended about.
I think it will be easy for you to come up with some possible answers to these questions if you have some charity for their argument.
Very funny! I guess is this more of a universal (tech) experience than I had realized: my friends and I spent a lot of time in high school griefing each other with `net send` (and the other `net`) commands.

My memory is fuzzy at this point, but I vaguely recall being able to change others' desktop backgrounds with a remote client. That produced a lot of entertainment value.
For tickets, the use is correct — you buy the ticket, the physical piece of paper, which gives you restricted access to a place.
I was a big fan of this but it's harder than it sounds. After all, we all know of some great commercial conversions from prior generations (most of the southern part of Manhattan, for example).

Unfortunately the big modern office towers often aren't constructed in a way that supports apartment conversion. There are lots of offices in those buildings with no windows, and all the service(i.e bathrooms) are in the core. Retail space is often worse in this regard, especially in malls. The renovation costs often end up higher than demolishing and building anew.

I still think you're on the right track though, it's just that the obvious fix is harder than it looks. But I do believe cities are in for a great renaissance of mixed-use buildings.
I might also add gas prices being low again.
I want to see a study where they bring in people, measure their temperature, then have them walk a mile then measure their temperature again. The decrease seems small enough that it could completely be an artifact of point-in-time activity levels. Everyone drives to the appointment now where two centuries ago they would've probably walked.
It's not just his politics.

He's running Twitter in a very erratic manner and demonstrating very poor judgement. It's completely reasonable not to trust someone like that with your family's safety.
You're treating it like people who would judge you based on the car you drive make some kind of high-minded ethical choice, but they're in reality looking for a reason to get their peers to accept a smaller group of people that still includes them, because that makes them relatively speaking higher status. They can't just make things up because they couldn't coordinate around that, but with Elon acting like a lighthouse, they can invent a new norm and benefit from being the first to adopt it.
Read to the end!
Even just in terms of actual meaning, "vegan" implies more than "plant-based." There are products that are unquestionably plant-based, but many vegans don't consider them to be in line with vegan ethics. For example, palm oil is literally from a plant and could be vegan, but in practice, the process of getting palm oil usually involves unnecessarily killing and maiming local primates, so many vegans do not consider it to be vegan.

Instagram's UX sucks because of all the ads they stuffed it with in the last few years, not because of interface troubles.
A lot of modern health woes are turning out to be caused by inflammation, and HCQ is a relatively safe, cheap immunosuppressant. It makes sense that it would help out. As far as conspiracy theories go, it's been profitable for various parties to suppress knowledge of it over the years, as they can't patent it then sell it for extreme markup. I myself take a $10k/month immunosuppressant to treat a condition that HCQ is also effective for.
I had a similar problem with Amazon 2 years ago.

Back then I recently updated my email, but still used my old card (that I paid with before) to buy some books for my Kindle.
After I bought them, I got a message saying that suspicious activity has been detected on my account and that they will block it.

They requested me to send them documents proving that I own the card within the next 24 hours, threatening with the account being deleted.
If I recall correctly, they also specifically requested to not include more information into the documents than needed.
I was able to generate a bank statement through my bank app.
Not much I could do in terms of configuring what was shown there.
The bank agreed to help to make a custom document if such need occurs.

However, the thing is... after I sent the email to Amazon with the document, they kept replying that there is something wrong with the documents, but not saying what they didn't like.
All replies were the same with little difference in them, and my subsequent attempts were not very successful. And they kept sending threatening emails with "we'll delete everything if you don't reply within 24 hours".

In the end I gave up and started sending them the same bunch of documents over and over again, and finally when they stopped sending their threatening emails, some time passed and they unblocked the account, "reverting the malicious email change and purchases".

What I hate the most in this story is that I have never been able to speak to a single person in Amazon.
In fact, I was blocked from accessing their "famous" human support entirely -- the moment I tried to log in with my account, it would display the request for documents.

Subsequently I still needed an account there, but I decided to delete the old one and create a new one with the email I needed instead, because I didn't want the story repeating.

Thinking about this makes me really nervous for all the things that are tied to my google account and I am considering leaving it, but also thinking how much of an overwhelming hassle it will be.
calm down guys the holidays have been rough but let's keep bringing the big boy energy. Here's a pull quote for you

> “..from the degenerating brain’s microglia cells to enter the brain. It could be the degenerating brain activates these cells and causes them to clone themselves and flow to the brain,” Gate said. “They do not belong there, and we are trying to understand whether they contribute to damage in the brain.”

Interesting result right? Sounds like a definite maybe. Seems like correlation vs causation is really hard with brain degeneration. Sure would be nice to have a grand theory but maybe the theory is death by a thousand cuts. call it the i-dont-even-know-how-many-billion dollar question
I use the Kindle store because it has the content I want and it's dead simple to use.

Kobo doesn't have the Kindle Unlimited books that I like reading.
I think people need work. even meaningless work. It forces us to get out of bed in the morning and provides a crystallizing point for organizing our lives.

beyond that, I think people need to feel like they have a purpose or serve a function even if minimal.
> plant based was the default

My canine teeth tell a different story. Meat was eaten when it was available. Certainly they also ate berries and what not as cavemen. However, it wasn't like grug, or medieval grug, went out of their way to eat 3 square meals consisting of mostly vegetables. Grains, probably. But vegetables were often times as much of a luxury as meat.

"Beyond meat" etc are all poisons as far as I am concerned. To turn vegetables into a meat-like substitute requires some seance with dark magic. Their entire marketing gimmick is to compare it to Tofu. Tofu is minimally processed. Beyond meat and things like it are typically processed more than your average bag of potato chips.
> You can pack a lot more into a lot less these days.

True, but even so, there is no reason to not have a little tower with a friendly face sitting on a desk, even if it's mostly empty space. Or use the empty space for something, like a door to a cubby where you can store a game pad.

If you need mobility a laptop is great. But sitting hunched over at a desk using a laptop is not nearly as good as sitting upright with the screen at a more ergonomic height.

Maybe it's all just nostalgia, but I think we got a lot of things right back in the day, and the toaster Mac was definitely one of those things.
Oh no, signaling poor taste. The travesty. Let others live their life according to the whims of “the white collar class.” I’m going to enjoy what I enjoy, and I’d like to associate with like minded folks.
Infallible logic.
one combination I came to really love this year is babashka (https://github.com/babashka/babashka) + websocat (https://github.com/vi/websocat). I wrote about a method of live web programming with this pair at https://github.com/whacked/cow/blob/main/a%20technique%20for...

babashka isn't strictly necessary; you can also pipe plain text, but pushing hiccup expressions to the browser DOM from the REPL with instant feedback has opened a new world of interactive programming for me.
According to this almost half of teslas revenue is in the US:

no they can't.
The actual linked report does the calculation by area, not lease count.
https://www.apple.com/healthcare/docs/site/Blood_Oxygen_app_... describes in pretty solid detail that Apple specifically explored skin color and claims they found no effect on performance. If that's actually true then they'll have no trouble showing that the case is invalid. If that's not true then the case seems ok. Either way, I don't see a lot of harm in forcing Apple to show the court.
> there is no way to centrally browse everything so you need 7 different apps.

The Apple TV App (on iOS/iPadOS) does this. It even links you directly to the show in the app, assuming you have a valid subscription on that app. If it's not streamable, you can almost always "buy" or rent it.

It's not perfect, but it's the best there is that I'm aware of.

I basically agree with everything else you said.
we used to do similar with the Mac's ability to speak using the command 'say'. we'd ssh into a computer we knew someone to be sitting and have it 'say' something while using their name. at least, until one day, the 'say' app was not longer available!
Being split up. As I said, I think they should stay together ("synergy & coreinforcement"). My post wasnt entirely clear, for I assumed the reader already had this context.
I use an ESP32 for motor control, and being able to push an rc file to the sd card is far better than static C configuration- compare GRBL-ESP32 to FluidNC.
> Tesla also plans to open up their supercharger network in North America at some point

I have a feeling this would only ever happen over Elon's cold dead body
Not especially extraordinary, and I'm sure there are tools that are better for other people, but, for my workflow, apple notes has been fantastic.

Any time I think of something cool, see something cool, whatever - I add it / paste it into a long running note I have labeled "Cool stuff." Whenever I'm bored, I just read through it and usually find something I didn't have time to dig into more thoroughly before. Or, if I'm working on something and looking for something I noted earlier, again, just search for it in that note. The note also syncs automatically between my phone and computer, so requires zero mental bandwidth on my end for setup etc.

Can't understate enough how valuable this becomes over time, specific to the individual writing it. If I shared my note, it would probably be completely useless to the rest of humanity, but for me, it is a productivity 100x.

San Francisco is the worst performer in this report. Unsurprisingly, Silicon Valley is doing much better than SF.
Good, American cities aren't designed for human beings to actually live in. Hopefully this will cause major zoning reform & allow us to have dense, healthy, mixed-use cities.
There are non-OpenAI models based on the same GPT paper as the OpenAI GPT-series, e.g., GPT-NeoX [0], GPT-J, etc., that are actually Open Source, unlike OpenAI which is “open” only in the sense of “we might let you use it, either as a free preview or a paid service”.

You probably won't be able to run (or especially train) them on typical desktops, though.

Second that. I found myself thinking, "too many adjectives."
tl;dr:

The 95th percentile response time is a bad metric. A typical user executes more than a single request, so it is close to 100% probable that they get a response time above the 95th percentile. Better to tune the maximum response time instead.

Edit: When comparing two systems, the Fisher–Tippett–Gnedenko theorem gives guidance about how to do large-sample statistical inference on estimates of maxima: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher%E2%80%93Tippett%E2%80%9...
