> It’s clearly a hobby project, which means leeway is much more allowed

I'm sorry, but what sort of bullshit is that ?

The law does not differentiate between "hobby project" or not.

It would be the ultimate get-out clause for criminals ... "yes, officer, I'm distributing cocaine, but don't worry, its only a hobby project".
> the actual story here is that Southwest has had a complete operational failure and is simply incapable of determining where their crews are, what flights they are eligible for, and associating them with flights on the schedule.

This is amazing. Southwest was famous for its operational efficiency and quality. Companies eagerly learned from them. I wonder what has changed.
Years ago my uncle got a seizure while sleeping, fell out of bed, and ended hospitalized for weeks with a skull fracture. With these kind of conditions more or less anything in "unsafe" to a degree.

I just found out they have to provide some compensation or reimbursement, eventually: https://www.transportation.gov/airconsumer/airline-customer-...

Save your receipts, and submit a reimbursement request. Escalate if needed.
Landfills are a large source of GHG emissions, especially in the long term.
New, Who would have thought? They have impressive margins but I believe they are nowhere enough to justify the valuation. After the meme stock fad went, reality comes in and hopefully the market gets rational again.
Thanks! I like refactoring exercises because they tend to select for real world experience over classes/studying. And when I think about the most difficult technical problems I’ve worked on it’s never been about selecting the right algorithm or data structure, it’s always involved making legacy code adapt to new requirements when the previous developer is no longer around and the requirements weren’t properly documented.
To be fair, I think allowing flights a year in advance is probably far more complicated than just updating the underlying date format. Even if they were able to solve that problem, airlines probably can't easily operationally plan that far ahead due to so many moving parts, i.e. committing to routes and schedules, planning for staffing that far ahead of time, ever changing government restrictions, fuel price fluctuations, inflation, geopolitical realities, staffing, etc. I mean, imagine if they did, and something like COVID comes along again, it would cause far, far more disruption if they had booked out the next few years in advance (we had no idea how long COVID restrictions would last while we were in the heat of it, it's only clearer now in retrospect).

Also speaking as a software engineer myself, it's almost never just a software fix that will magically solve everybody else's problems, that always ends up being just wishful thinking
Long term care is incredibly expensive (much more than those college bills) and medicare doesn't cover all of that. They recently started offering long term care insurance so you can sign up for that when you're younger and get the cheaper rates (of course you have to determine how long you want to save vs how much you'll be saving).
> The most conservative of economists understand the concept of externalities.

Even conservative economists (and for that matter, also other experts) usually aren't dumb, but I've never seen one of them act on their knowledge appropriately. They all prioritize their ideology and their donors, some of them even refuse to listen to science and facts when people die by the masses.
OK, I'm not defending Tesla. I seriously dislike Elon Musk, believe Teslas have poor build quality as well as buggy software, and wouldn't buy one even if I could afford it (which I can't).

But I do get tired of every Tesla crash meriting yet another headline. All kinds of cars crash, all the time, and many of them burst into flame. That's not a good thing, but we don't see breathless reporting of every Ford or Chevy that crashes.

And surely by now, there's a general awareness that neither Tesla nor any other car has reliable full self driving. It's true that Tesla's promotional materials are deceptive, but the actual owner's manual (does anybody ever read it?) emphasizes the importance of keeping one's hands and attention ready to take over.

Is this just a reaction to the previous Tesla hype? First they were amazing and now the emperor has no clothes on? In any case, I don't think these stories are nearly as interesting as the media seems to think.
Whats the actual difference between sending ten identical low-effort auto-generated emails and ten unique low-effort auto-generated emails?
I guess let's wait to see how it works out in the US? The US government seems to be saying they're going to try to do something about this, so it doesn't seem like SWA is going to pay nothing here.

Actually, it appears that Southwest is already saying they'll reimburse tickets for canceled flights and potentially pay out for necessary hotels and alternate arrangements: https://www.southwest.com/html/air/travel-disruption
> What, exactly, is wrong with the current policy? Have you even read it?

Don’t dodge questions which destroy your arguments and argue against a ridiculous strawman. What, exactly, in explicit detail, is illegal about what the author has done?

And its obvious, leeway is allowed because it’s a personal project. Nobody is about to prosecute someone over a random hobbyist project that is used by a few dozen people. The amount of resources used will never come close to the payout that would come out of that.

This is really sad. Facts matter, especially for issues of life and death. Heck, facts matter, even for politics.
It really depends on the specific material. Recycling aluminum gives huge energy savings, something like 95% reduction in energy, because refining bauxite is a bitch. Bottle-to-bottle PET recycling also works, but most other forms of plastic recycling are a farce.
On 'The Uselessness Of Scale': I found after spending substantial time learning, customizing, and using tools like docs/roam/notion/obsidian/logseq/bear/etc is that what I truly lacked is a medium for playful design and frictionless neural-to-text.

With KeePass you'll have to manage said emergency access. Either by sharing that master pw directly or maybe if it concerns business matters by keeping those records in an own db and employ a notary to manage such emergency access.

Anyway even delegating it to a notary imho isn't near as much of a possible security issue than having an SaaS store all your auths online & them having a system in place to grant third party access.
HN is on the small government side only insofar as it relates to tech legislation and adjacent regulations. It's pretty typically left-leaning California-esque politics otherwise.
Every airline, pre-boarding, informs passengers to place any and all necessary medication in their carry on bag.

This has been procedure for the last 40 years.

There is no excuse that is feasable or plausible for 'forgetting' important medications in the checked baggage.

This is a reading comprehension problem and not an airline issue.

Not even. Uppercase L is not a symmetric character.
I dont think its possible to can answer this with the amount of certainty you have. At least i truly hope it. Because if you actually did understand it and still answer this way, you just acknowledged that you are way past wanting to figure out reality.

My point is that you dont have the competence to determine what not to verify because doing so robs you of the ability to determine the implications. Which is commonly caused by a lack of emotional maturity to deal with this inherent problem of stupidity humans have. By still not wanting to think about it you accept all the problems you apparently now know exist and just ignore it in favor of a better self image. This is not an attack on personal shortcommings but something every human has to deal with.

And you didnt just make this decision personally, but think its a good idea to push this onto other people. That means "the problem" from your initial point is people trying to deal with a difficult problem you prefer to ignore and offer no substitute solution to while knowing how horrible the consequences will be. Put over the top, its people having the audacity to think about stuff that runs the risk of poking holes in your delusion once you hear about it.

I dont believe you actually mean to say this. This would be malice. Its screw reality and its consequences in favor of your feelings. It would be conscious solopsism.

Please tell me how i am wrong instead of coming up with stories about how you get to do it regardless. I truly want there to be a cooperative solution and i am really confident that it should be possible. We should be able to agree that figuring out reality is something we all have incentives to do that outweigh wanting to feel right.

I am very sorry that the posts are this long, but the shorter this gets, the more confrontational this sounds and the less likely useful progress is.

edit: I also wrote such a lengthy response so you hopefully realize what you just told the entire world with your personal details in your account info. Because this could qualify as consent for getting "patched" for a lack of a better term. Having you do that was not my intent.
For comparison, a Greyhound bus on the same route I was about to take a Southwest flight on was about $160 and took 36 hours with 2 transfers compared to $250 on Southwest with one transfer and 5 hours total travel time.

The costs are fairly equivalent, oddly enough.
What's accepted by mathematicians as the foundation of mathematics is an objective fact about the mathematical community. You can look up the answer to the question "What is the standard, commonly accepted foundation for mathematics?" in any number of reference books. Some options to get you started: Kunen's Foundations of Mathematics; Jech's Set Theory (super common books for graduate students).

My challenge to you: find a single book written in the last, say 50 years, where the answer to this question is not ZFC (or ZF with some equivocation about whether we should accept choice).

Re: "Equivalence is equivalent to equality," first of all, most mathematicians would take this to be false. Like, if "x" stands for cartesian product, they would say (A x B) x C and A x (B x C) are different objects. (This is a point commonly made in undergraduate algebra classes, and the reason they would say this is of course they they implicitly think of everything as sets, since set theory is the standard foundation!) They are isomorphic objects, but not equal ones. Second, to the extent that mathematicians suppress isomorphisms like this in their writing, this is not a new observation. We've known that mathematicians do this for decades, and in principle we could always unravel such isomorphisms when writing things down carefully if we needed to. This is not some special insight of HoTT. Compare to the forcing example I gave - this is a genuinely new insight about the Calkin algebra facilitated by "classical" methods of mathematical logic.

Re: DNNs, the question of what is a semantics for DNN does not count as an example, no. What would count: statements about things like consistency, independence, shapes, numbers, etc. It's cool that you can use HoTT for engineering things but it's not an application to discovering new pure mathematics or the consistency/proof strength/independence/etc. of that mathematics. The latter is the usual definition of "metamathematics."

Here's an example of a (true) metamathematical statement: HoTT is consistent if ZFC plus two inaccessible cardinals is consistent. (Interestingly, this is the best argument I'm aware of for the claim that HoTT is consistent, and its power derives largely from the fact that ZFC is the Gold Standard for foundations.)

Facilitating metamathematical inquiry of this kind is perhaps the primary reason mathematicians are still interested in set theory and classical logic. (I include here large cardinals, model theory, etc. For further discussion, see the books I mentioned above.)
No. I believe any culture or society where suicide is considered a legitimate solution to anything except for terminal, unsolvable medical conditions is diseased and if the state participates in it I would consider such a government illegitimate.
They aren't though. I'm not aware of any example from any company anywhere. There are some really impressive examples of cruise control that works pretty well most of the time, but I wouldn't say any car "drives without drivers".
I assure you even if we were to continue in our current trajectory the Earth would support human life for more than two lifetimes.

This is not to say that we shouldn't stop wasting, but let's not exaggerate. That being said the Earth definitely will become less comfortable if we don't put a pin on some of this stuff.
Of course, no argument there. Ideally when you make that kind of decision you take reputational risk into account, as well as, like, is this an existential risk?

The airline industry feels like one where each year it's a different carrier who has some catastrophic scheduling failure. Today, everyone says they're never flying Southwest again. But if you fly semi-regularly then it won't take very long before you don't have any airlines left to fly on.

For people who weren't affected, I doubt very many are even going to remember this. Personally, I remember that this kind of thing has happened recently with other carriers but I couldn't even tell you who.

And people who were affected can mostly be bought off if you need to. Some vouchers & hotel reimbursement and it's just the cost of doing business.

Plus, the airline industry has proven over and over that people are willing to put up with a lot when you have the cheapest prices.

It's different from an industry that's built on reputation and trust. Like, a password manager, the only real thing you're selling is your reputation. Losing trust is a real existential threat. Security costs need to be in the bucket of either "yes, we will do it" or "it's so expensive that if we do it then we don't have a business anyway, so we'll skip it and pray."

Our stockpile wasn't maintained and replenished either. I don't think anyone got in trouble for that failure, but I hope they did and I just didn't hear about it.
Indeed some rushes to market have ended up successful - Soul of a New Machine by Tracy Kidder documents in detail one such case and there are many more. It's easy to dwell on the failures however. I think it's fair to say that many products that are on the market are rushed to market - some very successfully.
Stable plastics probably don't account for much of that. The methane gas comes from food waste/etc rotting.
By absolute numbers, I do believe OP is correct. In Germany, we do have a problem with phone based scams as well, but since we have modern ways of transferring money (SEPA wire transfers / direct debit) and actually useful identity cards that make opening fake bank accounts for mules very difficult, almost all scams rely on personal contact instead - the most common scheme is fake policemen, where the callcenter will call elderly people and pressure them to go to their bank to draw cash, then a "policeman" shows up at the door and takes the cash.

>We're nowhere near that level of despair yet.

Agree. Early 2000's was a nonstop litany of entire companies going under because they didn't make any money. IMHO, a fair comparison would be to look at the same companies now. Many funded, growth at all cost companies are laying people off, but we're not quite to everything (outside of crypto) going under like we were back then.

Looking at big tech as the barometer doesn't make much sense to me since the dominant companies are still making massive profits, but they're just slightly less massive and/or growing less quickly. That's not an end of the world scenario like early 2000's or 2008 felt like.
A big part of launching a minimum viable product is that you get feedback from users about which missing features they care about. GP is providing that feedback.

Tesla only has impressive margins compared to non-luxury vehicles...but all Teslas are sold at luxury prices.

It's bizarre that people think that having a larger margin per car compared to Toyota or GM means something, when Toyota, GM, and Ford's per-unit margins are dragged down by the millions of cheapo cars they sell overseas, and the money they spend on quality control that Tesla doesn't.

Ford, GM, and Toyota absolutely blow Tesla's margins out of the waters with the margins they make on their trucks.
What is low effort about the email it generated?

I would argue there’s a great deal of effort in having an AI generate an email compared to using an email that was written once and reused.
See, this I completely agree with. But OP said that we already have this and now we're basically facing a price/marketing problem and we have self driving cars otherwise - and we definitely don't.

Perhaps ask why the doctor shouldn’t react with horror at being asked to consider proactively ending someone’s life the way we kill criminals, if the family is a stumbling block.

(I realize by positioning “determines that this is a reasonable way to put an end to their physical or mental suffering” as the greatest and only consideration, you have a prior commitment to ending the lives of others when you like the sound of it. I will still try, though.)

"Vaccine is safe" does not and has never meant "has zero possible adverse events."

"Vaccine is effective" does not and has never meant "confers 100% protection from infection."

The vaccines remain both safe and effective in the same way that e.g. Tylenol is safe and effective. If you want the fully nuanced definition of these statements mean in the Tylenol case or the vaccine case, you can literally look up the data from the clinical trials and see it. Of course your rebuttal to this will be, "well, I can find X dataset with real world evidence of Y claim" and I'll say: well, there's a reason real world evidence is (counterintuitively, given the name) not considered to be very good evidence in pharma world. That's because it's incredibly hard to isolate variables in analysis of real world data, even assuming the data exists in an analyzable format (which it generally doesn't - also contrary to most people's expectations).

Hmm no, it's no wonder that people misremember who exactly told them what. We have a shitshow of a media ecosystem and you have "contrarians" like yourself who are pumping nonstop garbage like "CDC said X" into it when CDC did not, in fact, say X.

Mistakes were certainly made and everyone was learning as we went, but your line of inquiry actually points pretty solidly away from the solutions we actually need: 1) there should NEVER be PPE shortages in the richest country on earth, 2) there should RARELY be testing capacity shortages and sitting presidents should NEVER deliberately slow down pathogen testing, and 3) there should be much better data infrastructure that allows us to understand all of these things in real time.

Some blame for each of these lays at CDC feet, some at FDA, some at NIH, and so on, but fixing these requires an entirely different conversation than the one we're having.
