It uses dark patterns to get people to install Zoom when the web client works fine. I recall the software itself also doing a lot of shady stuff, but that was some time ago.
Ask HN: Don’t Feel Like I Fit In, Should I Complete My Degree?
I’m two quarters away from either a CS or a pure math degree, so am really looking ‘job-forward’ right now. I feel I don’t fit in inside professional environments at all and it’s been a big obstacle for me in pursuing any professional type of work. Do you have any tips?

I took almost all my classes online, and I completely dread the formalism required vs my previous jobs (logging, construction, etc). I don’t personally know any professionals like this either. I’ve been trying to read books on identity and self esteem to grapple with these issues holding me back, but I’m having a hard time, I just feel like a fish out of water. To me it signals I need to work on myself, but I don’t know how to begin feeling ‘professional’ and not alienated. For context I run a farm by myself, I talk to maybe 6 people a month in a rural area. It’s extremely intimidating to jump into applying for programming jobs for me right now and I know my self doubt is going to shine through in any interview.
There's a difference between the onboard service and cabin (and god are BA shit), and the flight safety.

That said BA earned a hell of a black mark when it chose to divert to Heathrow rather than Stansted or even Gatwick when its engine was on fire [1]. Not as much as when Air France decided to divert from Lebanon to Damascus in the middle of a civil war rather than Cyprus because it was cheaper [2]

Theoretically, for ever.

In practice most servers offer over 2000 or 3000 days of retention (and growing). It used to be a problem many years ago because shortage wasn’t as cheap as now, but it feels like Usenet will also keep things forever now.
Well, I'm fucked if I assume that it's working as intended, and fucked if I don't, because as you say, I'm entirely reliant on professionals doing their job correctly when I'm flying.

And that professionalism seems to have failed in parts in this circumstance. (And has been well noted to have failed in many other circumstances with often tragic consequences.)

All that aside, I still want to understand why the Austin airport doesn't have ARIS? Cost/benefit? Not mandated by the FAA?

I'm afraid that "shush, and leave it to the professionals" isn't a very compelling argument.
This is a minor incident. I don't think they would have been asked to return to the gate over this.
This may be true today, but the rate of progress on these tools is hitting a curve. Text and image generation are already basically indiscernible from human creations, and the entire space is now turning its attention to audio in tandem.

Does OpenAI provide guarantees now around fine tuned models being loaded 24/7? Last time I fine tuned Curie models they took forever to load and that killed it for me as we’re building an interactive application.

I'm no manager but if you have a much larger salary and 80% of that money is spend on dealing with a single employee. Even I can figure out what should happen next. I cant imagine a justification for your 20% performance.
I can confirm this way of worling with data from my time at Amazon operations. We used data all the time, everywhere and for everything. But we did not have data scientist in our time, we did it ourselves. Quite peculiar, but so damn effecient and effective. I kind of miss that. It also showed that most of the data analytics stuff I know, Six Sigma, is just plain overkill for a lot of practical applications.

My favorite example is the WW2 bomber diagram shown to illustrate survivorship bias. Sure, working from data and first principle one could identify the vulnerable spots of the bomber. Or one could asl the designers or have an engineer, heck even a contemporary field mechanic, take a look at the actual drawings of the plane. And reach the same conclusion, faster, with a ton of additional insight and improvement ideas that can actually be implemented...
That is correct. Internally, it's a high performing web server to return the static content at speed. In addition, the websites get additional functionality such as DDOS protection out of the box by leveraging CDNs.

The 47 million thing is based on a specific machine, which was identified as the current 5-state champion in 1990 and is known to halt.

Since nobody has found any busier 5-state beaver than that since 1990, Scott Aaronson conjectured that this might be the actual maximum for halting 5-state machines.

As someone mentioned, internally they use high performance load balancer like nginx, which provides most of the things such as TLS termination out of the box. How the machines are managed and scaled is dependent on the CDN provider. For eg:- Akamai would be using an altogether different approach than the one employed by Azure CDN.
Operating system vendors would refer to the actual subject
From TFA:
"Time 1:54, Tower: “Southwest 708, confirm on the roll?” Note that this comes 34 seconds after the previous transmission, and nearly a minute after the tower cleared Southwest for takeoff.
In that minute, the FedEx plane has covered most of the distance to the airport. Presumably the visibility is so bad that the tower can’t even see the Southwest plane sitting on the runway. So the tower controller is asking: Hey, are you moving?
Southwest immediately replies, “rolling now.”
Investigators will also want to find out what the Southwest crew was doing through this time, in the minute after saying “we’re ready” and while knowing that another plane was about to land."

Docker Swarm is getting some more attention after having been neglected, with repo activity going up[1], and Mirantis even publishing a sponsored article on The Next Web[2]. Things look brighter for Swarm than one year ago.

Interest in Docker Swarm also persist I think. My post on starting Docker Swarm in 2022 [3] on my very low profile blog gets very regular visits.

Ask HN: What to do when your side project is losing steam in a nascent space
I have a looney project I worked on for my tradesman degree in Computer Science. This was 4 years ago and I never thought it would get its legs.

Fast forward 4 years, I say I chalked up my initial gusto as irrational exuberance. But eerily, when I now look at the base of similar companies it's like 2-3 that are in my space whereas previously there were 0-1.

What should I do? I feel pressured to keep iterating regardless of cost. Any help would be appreciated. I want to resurrect my ancient code and get it known out there.

The competition has better angels, better execution but not better ideas (I think my idea is revolutionary).

Dear HN: Should I just throw in the towel on this wacky idea?

It could be the fault of the southwest crew for dallying on the runway when there was an incoming jet. Had they gone immediately they would have been long gone by the time FedEx tried to land.

No idea about Austin airport. Regarding professionalism and failure, the Austin incident is actually proof of the system working as intended. There was, by the looks of it, only one real mistake made, maybe two. Training of everyone involved, including the ATC, prevented those mistakes from creating a cascade of failures that could have let to two hull losses and 100+ dead passenger on the Southwest flight.

For fatal accidents to happen in aviation and aerspace, more than one thing has to go wrong at the same time. Single, isolated failures are no longer sufficient to cause serious accidents.
Southwest. Honest answer.

> Fancy metaprogramming can also make it more difficult to understand how code works.

Metaprogramming looks very exotic and unusual on the surface, but many languages do very similar things in forms of macros and code generation. However, only the final, actually compiled code is usually counted in analyses like this one. Being fully dynamic, Python allows for such "preprocessing" of the code itself to happen at runtime, which I find much more powerful.
Do you know of any tool that can help a startup to automate calculation of their runway and burn rate?
that livestock are *sentient
If you're using it to the point you need it guaranteed up 24/7, you may be better off not treating it as a SaaS API and instead building up your own model. It seems somewhat likely OpenAI has some pretty insane changes going on with access and pay structure in the future, so I'd be cautious becoming reliant on them (at least for the next 3 months)
Or are people flying more so there are more opportunities for incidents?

The job ATC does is conceptually the same job as railway signalling (allocating non-colliding paths through a shared medium).
Interestingly, during the isolation there was not a complete informational blockade. The progressive Japanese knew what is going on in Europe and how China/Asia is suffering from European colonization.

So to preempt being colonized they worked on the Japan's opening and planned a rapid industrialization. (The Meiji Revolution)

The Perry's conquering of Japan is a concession to the West by Japanese.

Southwest is belabored by very strong unions. Unreasonable demands in reality from the pilots
I'm not sure they do - are they oceanographers? These are very rare events; very few crewmembers have experienced such waves.

Also, even if they do, it doesn't stop them from being exploited.
The default _browser_ will mostly be Safari. But the moment webkit requirement is relaxed, all in-app browsers for Facebook, TikTok, Youtube, Instagram, etc will be replaced with their own forks without any respect for "do not track". They will become the second most used browsers on iPhone, not Firefox or Chrome.

What plane crash?
It’s only iOS/iPadOS that Apple does this with. And iOS makes up 18% of web traffic. That’s a lot, but it means 82% can use the browser they want at any time. Chrome makes up 80-odd percent of all other traffic, so the stats overall look like:

Chrome: 65.6%

iOS Safari: 18%

All others: 16.4%

Personally, I’m more concerned about Chrome than iOS.
You sure haven't read the incident report on that disaster, did you? It is not even the same aircraft model, not even the same manufacturer...
Uh the telemetry is pretty unusual. That gets broadcast. And the airline's HQ would see this in real-time.
It’s important to save source code of programs you use lest they be ruined now too. X.org developers have this nasty habit of removing perfectly good things from the tree, for example. It’s little wonder why - they’ve explained that even though their job is to maintain X.org, they can’t you on their new shitware which coincidentally won’t eve work on old computers.
I have changed the wording on the website in order to make it hopefully more straightforward:

Further to what other people have said, a weird thing about the Busy Beaver is that it's eventually harder than all of mathematics.

https://bbchallenge.org/story#what-is-known-about-bb

(People have proven in Gödel-style that eventually any given mathematical theory is not strong enough to confirm, by any method, that a specific high-enough BB value is correct.)

And it famously "grows faster than any computable function".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_beaver#Maximum_shifts_fun...

The people running this challenge believe that confirming with certainty the very next value, BB(6), probably requires answering questions that are, or are equivalent to, mathematical conjectures that humanity will never resolve.

A closely related concept about quantifying the behavior of all Turing machines is Chaitin's omega

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaitin%27s_constant

which has similarly bizarre properties about it being as hard as all of the rest of mathematics to calculate digits of this number.
As a satisfied Swarm user, and with positive signs regarding Docker Swarm's future (repo activity up, Mirantis talking about it and its future), I wondered if there would be an opportunity to propose managed hosting of Swarm deployments. Not having much time to work on it right now, I'm happy to see someone else doing it. Best of luck!
I'm not sure how many people know this, but one of the first instances of "union busting" ever committed by the US federal govt was against air traffic controllers. The job used to be extremely competitive and prestigious, but overall lower wages and security has made it way harder to attract as many highly talented individuals.

And with how many rules there are in that pdf, it's shocking we don't see multiple accidents a year.
I'll give Mozilla market share again when they give me decent software again.

Until then, they can RIP in pieces as they continue to bitch while not doing anything useful.

Also worth noting that Chrome flies right in the face of this essay anyway. The only OS Chrome can't nom is iOS by sheer virtue of Apple mandates that Microsoft once got burned for.
Yeah, but they would have to break the circuit if they report an incident.

I've been overhearing lots of complaints coming out of the Ubuntu corner about how everything is moving to snap exclusive distribution. Not too familiar with the whole snap ordeal myself, but I understand it is quite the shitshow and that can't be good for the Linux browser landscape.
I mentioned that in a sibling comment. Of course, what I actually do is just a web search for the paper’s title.
My understanding is, various aircraft/airlines have logging facilities with longer memories, just it's up to the airline to look through them.

Normally if you're looking at a black box, you know something suboptimal already occured.
Yeah, but if they don't report and no one from their company "sees" it they don't have to pull the circuit...
Ubuntu is dead.
Why not pair the limited storage with something more long lasting? The long-lasting could be a heavy-duty ssd that holds 8tb or something. That is weeks worth of audio and data. If that's lost in a crash or incident, so be it, it was probably severe incident and the 1.5 hour backup is all that's needed anyway.

From the article all I gathered was that you’re essentially right.

In more general terms:

A distributed reverse proxy with sensible defaults for caching.

Even though it doesn’t sound like much, it’s pretty cool and useful.

One of the things in ops that can be hard and expensive is any kind of high availability. Say you’re restarting your origin server regularly after pushing new code.

Depending on your use case, it might just be enough to have exactly two well provisioned web servers (VM/dedicated) and maybe one DB server. Then put a CDN in front of it and voila, high availability reads.
