Yeah, this article contains a bit too much editorializing for flavor for my taste. Doubly so after seeing attached patreon links. How much better than the news networks that ran literally everything they could get their hands on about the flight (even when that was nothing) are you really when you do something like this? Sure there's much more factual information present here, but if its job is to generate emotional intrigue instead of inform is there truly a difference in kind? If the facts are so compelling, just state them and at least have the plausible deniability that it's just your readers opining after seeing them.

Wow, TIL. So you're saying you can get the audiobook legit through Audible and use a downloaded EPUB and it will still work if the ASIN is in the metadata? This is definitely worth a blog post or something at least.
That was a missed checklist item IIRC where the ground engineer had turned off the pressurisation while trying to debug a pressure leak (ironically), the pilot was supposed to check this in a couple of lists, they did but I think they glossed over it. Plus they might have ignored some inflight warnings. This is also the one where a learning pilot (also scuba diver, probably able to handle the lack of oxygen better) tried to save it but was too late.
I wouldn't recommend it, however, especially with Elasticsearch. I spent a lot of time with their team debugging issues that came down to G1GC issues in those days.

I’m well aware. It’s also a one line change to the myst parser to make that work.

In any case, it’s because a myst code block with curly brackets is really a sphinx directive.

That said, they should support the non-directive version, similar to GFM, but would
need to embed it. Compared to GFM, though, a plug-in can be added to support plantUML and there’s even crusty ones for graphviz.

GFM version is also not particularly flexible for large diagrams

> Objecting to user education is an idea that is coming back into vogue, especially with authentication and phishing. It's the idea that has held up best here.

This can be good or bad depending on how you do it. If you default to the good thing and there really isn’t any need to do the bad thing then it can be quite good. If there is a genuine need for some people to sometimes do the bad thing (so it’s not actually universally “bad”) pretending like nobody can ever make an informed decision here is not a good policy. Sure, it’s very difficult to get people to make informed choices, but you can’t really brush this off as people being uneducateable.

Retirements and short work weeks explain America’s labour shortage
Absolutely agree. That's why I said passenger/miles in my comment.

Because of more active drivers and low occupancy cars, I would think from first principles for a constant rate of suicide ideation in the population the risk of death by driver suicide as a side effect is high, and must actually be higher than pilot suicide risk. You are not in the car but the accident affects you. You are driving more often that it's more statistically likely to drive near another driver who deliberately drives dangerously, than the risk of a pilot ending it all.

But if we stop obsessing with the risk of pilot suicide and were just talking overall risk, passenger/miles is the best measure there is. Trains might win.
The inferred subtext of "we only hire yes men" put me off as much as anything. Who wants to work with a company full of them? Life's too short for that.
I think part of it has to do with the workloads you're using.

If you're using it as a disc replacement for, say, a 286/386, it comes from an era where disc performance was far worse, so the software is usually not going to hit the disc gratuitiously.

Also, dealing with an adapter that's single-threaded and taps out at 25Mbps isn't a big deal when you're dealing with an environment with primitive cooperative multitasking (i. e. DOS/Win3) and attached via a bus that tops out at half that.

Now, it could be an issue in later systems-- something like a late 486 or beyond, where it has a local-bus/VL-bus/PCI disc controller and might be used with Linux or Windows NT might work poorly with those adapters, but then you're probably able to use a commercial PATA or SATA+adaptor SSD.
I think you're misunderstanding how borders work. A border simply allows a country to control what goes in and out of its geographic boundaries. It doesn't allow a country to control what goes in and out of another country's geographic boundaries (that would be a blockade).

Ask HN: Transitioning to ML Engineering from a non-eng role
Hey HN,

I have an EECS background but have spent most of my career in PM/UX roles. I haven't regularly programmed in about 10 years. Most of my projects in that time have involved light web prototyping and quickly hacking things together for demos. It's fair to say I couldn't pass your average whiteboard or leetcode interview at this point.

I've started to lose passion for my role (and company) and am interested in building things again, likely at a small company or startup. After a lot of dabbling, I've decided that I'd like to transition to being an ML Engineer and I'm looking for advice on how best to make that happen. My questions are:

(1) What educational resources would you recommend, both in terms of helping me gain knowledge and improving my odds of getting a job? I've been working through Fast.ai, but am not sure if I should pursue others (Coursera, or even a Masters or Grad Certificate of some kind).

(2) For MLE interviews/roles, will I need to display strong theoretical strength (i.e. in advanced statistics, ML foundations) or will applied knowledge and portfolio projects be enough?

(3) What strategy would you recommend for someone in my shoes? Fill a GitHub profile with projects and aim for entry level startup jobs? I'm willing to "start at the bottom" but would hope that my experience counts for something. Would any company even hire someone like me as an MLE?

I'd love any input to the above, but if you have general thoughts to share about someone in this situation that would also be helpful. Thanks.
Did you have a look at the codebase? Is it on purpose or is it a bug?
To be honest I had the same thought 10-15 years ago when I was reading stories to my daughter. It was all written after a template, changing names of places, characters and goals for the story. Many were based on Harry Potter with kids going to magic schools and saving the world. Even a series of them with exactly the same story in each book, just a new goal for each book. The series covered half a shelf at the local library. Daughter quickly got tired of them and we started reading Terry Pratchett instead.
You would lose that wager.

Citron also claimed that a certain stock (that was shorted at more than 100 percent of outstanding shares in 2021 at the time of their claim) would be "back to 20 USD fast, we will explain soon".

Citron is definitely part of the scamming. The fact that a scammer (Citron) scammed another scammer (Evergrande) doesn't make them good guys.

Feedback: the MongoDB dependency is annoying, from an enterprise (self-hosting) perspective. Due to their licencing, you can't have a managed service provider host it for you (unless that provider is Mongo itself). I have not looked into what data you store, but I can't imagine it's that schema-less at this point, so perhaps it could be possible to store in an SQL database instead? Or in PostgreSQL via its JSON support?
Agree. But not sure what you mean by the "top 5%".

Google have deliberately stopped trying to provide an index of the web. They now focus solely on revenue (advertising) maximization. A search will show paid sites, then popular sites, up to a few pages, and that's it. For example, search for "brioche buns" - you can't convince me that there are only 420 pages in the entire www that refer to "brioche buns" :(

It doesn't look to me like the cost of production was zero and the content really wasn't bad. For anyone who didn't read to the end, the author (operator?) explains his process:

> I typed a series of prompts to ChatGPT to get it to write me a story with the following plot:

> Once upon a time there was porcupine. Every day, she baked a loaf of bread. One day the loaf disappeared. Because of that, she had too much butter. Because of that, things got slippery. Until finally she opened the first ever butter theme park.

He mentions elsewhere that generating the images was a lot of work.

So basically he and his friends had an oddball premise for a story, and with some non-trivial amount of labor, he produced a story which was far from the worst thing I've read on HN.

It was actually pretty clever for a kids' story and the illustrations were good. The finished product was better than the prompt. Somehow the process produced a fairy, a plot twist and slabs of butter riding a roller coaster.

Where's the crisis here? A person came up with an idea and used a tool to generate a work product from it. Without that tool he would have needed to hire a professional illustrator and maybe a writer. I bet this took a fair bit of work to do right. But the technology enabled a creative work that wouldn't have occurred otherwise.

I have no doubt there will be tons of crappy spam enabled by ChatGPT too, but frankly this little story wasn't it, it was humorous and I doubt it was a trivial endeavor.

counterpoint; separating the wheat from the chaff is already terribly difficult, and perhaps this will provide the necessary motivation to produce an effective method of doing so.

Google, once upon a time, solved a similar problem. With all the information on the internet, how do you find the good stuff? The relevant stuff? I don't think it does this job at the moment - and perhaps flooding the world with content will create the conditions for the next major disruptor to create something that actually works rather than this ad-bloated nonsense we have now.

It already takes a ton of my time seeking out books and other media that align with what I want. Humans have done a spectacular job of creating stuff that's minimally acceptable to make a sale. AI isn't creating the problem you're talking about, even if it is making it worse.

Perhaps it will become bad enough that it becomes worthwhile to fix.

In theory, since those go through JavaScript they may see some wins. However this optimization only applies to the higher tiers of the JIT so your code may not be called enough or optimized to hit this path.
net.Conn needs to cover non-duplex conns like UDP - so it's challenging to add halfclosable methods with reasonable semantics. You can always check for the presence of the CloseWrite method and cast in this case.

One trick to unify the context and io timeouts is roughly:

conn = ...// Wherever you get your file or con.

ctx, cxl = context.WithCancel(ctx)

defer cxl()

go func(){

defer conn.Close()

<-ctx.Done()

}()

// Do reads and writes knowing that if your context times out the fd will close and your io op will stop.

The only caveat is if you need to be aware of partial data read/written when a timeout occurs - then you need to tell the os about your timeouts :(.

Performance reasons, usually. Easier to draw an enemy on the screen (and figure out occlusion, etc) than have the enemy pop in from nowhere due to lag. Also prevents lag (or netspeed in the UT days) hacking (used to be a thing, not anymore).
