I was wondering if maybe the long-term change from all this was going to be that two clearances can't be issued without visual/instrument confirmation from the tower of execution of movements. Sort of an IFR/VFR rules for tower operations.

Given how advanced ILS is nowadays you could probably automate all of this - if the plane taking off isn't committed to takeoff (traveling at V1) by the time the landing aircraft reaches decision altitude, an automatic go-around is issued. Basically treat the runway as a "control zone" like trains do, and if the plane on the runway hasn't "cleared the zone" (by whatever definition) then the landing aircraft can't enter the zone.

Certainly that's something that could be conveyed as part of the ILS data at least. Maybe it's undesirable to automate it in the sense of the automation causing more problems (more aborts = more chances for something to go wrong, although the assertion is that by V1 you're committed and by decision altitude you can still abort safely, so this all fits inside the "theory of movements") but you can at least let the landing plane know at decision altitude that there's an aircraft still on the runway. Sort of a "green = runway clear, yellow = committed traffic, yellow bars = moving but uncommitted traffic, red = runway occupied/clearance not granted" type indicator perhaps.

Or maybe if the tower can't visually/instrument confirm execution of movements, the pilot on takeoff has to verbally confirm commit before the landing clearance can be granted. Then it just becomes something specific to zero-visibility operations.

It really seems like there should be some change in how movements are handled/clearances are issued. Maybe we don't need to go to full "one clearance at a time" all the time, but it certainly seems like there should be some tighter rules if the tower can't independently confirm movements are being executed, and perhaps convey that information to the pilot as well (although again, I know that pilots are already information-overloaded, but "is there someone on my runway" is seemingly pretty important and straightforward info).
That last part is key: search didn’t just happen to get worse, chasing ad revenue made it that way. Once Google started allowed ethically dubious SEO like Quora’s search cloaking it marked the end of the era where search quality was the main focus.

It’s very easy to imagine tools like ChatGPT following a similar arc, only harder to discern if it’s not legally required to mark when advice is sponsored.

Sad to see this being downvoted. Rational voices have been censored on many western platforms for saying things that went against the popular narrative, the most recent obvious example being during the pandemic. Some of the things censored were batshit crazy, some of them not, but blocking discussion and letting those in positions of power decide what is "disinformation" and what is "information" isn't the way to deal with the crazy stuff.
New York is upgrading its subway signalling system [1] from pessimistic to optimistic. Sure, denying entry into an occupied block to the next train prevents collisions. But it also wastes time, energy and money. If there is an emergency on the held train, it’s longer to the station. To say nothing of the added wear and tear starting and stopping entails.

somewhat OT, but ernest hemingway (or "serious constrictor paths" as pk dick would have it) and orwell met in paris right after the end of the war, when both were newspaper correspondents. i can't find the source, but the dialog went something like this:

orwell: knocks on hemingways door

hemingway: opens door - "who the hell are you?"

orwell: eric blair (real name)

hemingway: so f*cking what?

orwell: oh, i'm also george orwell

hemingway: why the f*ck didn't you say so! come in, and have some whiskey!

seems to have shown old ernest in a better light than i have often seen him.

> My Lai was first revealed to the American public on November 13, 1969—almost two years after the incident—when Hersh published a story through the Dispatch News Service. The article threatened to undermine the U.S. war effort and severely damage the Nixon presidency. Inside the White House, officials privately discussed how to contain the scandal. On November 21, National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger emphasized that the White House needed to develop a "game plan", to establish a "press policy", and maintain a "unified line" in its public response to the incident. The White House established a "My Lai Task Force" whose mission was to "figure out how best to control the problem", to make sure that administration officials "all don't go in different directions" when discussing the incident, and to "engage in dirty tricks". These included discrediting key witnesses and questioning Hersh's motives for releasing the story. What soon followed was a public relations offensive by the administration designed to shape how My Lai would be portrayed in the press and understood among the American public.

Valve wisely filters out unsupported games by default, at least today, because compatibility can definitely be a challenge.

When you get stuck in a crashed game, you can use shortcuts to quit it (hold Steam + B). This likely won't work in desktop mode, but you can configure KDE to do whatever you want if you run into trouble.

There are definitely UI issues to be fixed but if you stick to the normal, supported games and menus, the Deck itself is entirely on par with other consoles in my opinion.

The miserable state in which game publishers release their games on PC is a whole different can of worms that proves that companies expect quite a bit of tolerance of PC gamers.
I just added an edit that it also is possible to work in our NYC office in some sort of hybrid fashion.

I guess that's strictly true in the context of reddit but not really true in the spirit of the behaviour. Samsung wanted to allow people to ask questions which they could then answer: it's only because we're so used to reddit's paradigm -- all comments are visible by default -- that this is unexpected. If you were to use pretty much any other platform, it would be up to the question-solicitor to choose what questions are answered and thus seen -- e.g: on Instagram.

If you search for a personal injury lawyer (which IIRC a single click on an ad would fetch google a thousand bucks), a chatGPTesque answer could be more convincing in leading you to a paid resource than a list of options with an ad. Imagine an AI half as smart as chatGPT who’s primary goal is to not just give you the answer but also convince you in a legally acceptable way to click a sponsored result.
> But std::vector isn't legacy

Oh yes it is. std::vector is hella legacy. That's not a C++11 addition (where "Modern C++" began). And it has all sorts of very-legacy warts like https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/vector_bool

"Modern C++" added std::array which is what you might be thinking of, but it's much more limited & targets a different usage.
I would assume you trust your gut wrt to code: when you come up with a good enough answer you know what the tradeoffs are or at least have confidence that you can fix whatever comes up.

Wrt personal life/feelings, it has helped me talk to therapists and friends who've had similar issues and hear what they did to develop my own intuition.

It's tough! The computer throws errors but feelings are less deterministic and reflective (they change our ability to look into them).
People often use “and” to mean addition. “One and one make two”. So I think the title works fine.

Because of I buy a book from a store, you now no longer control that book. I can read it. I can use it for just about any purpose I want to.

If you put a image up online free to download, it's much the same situation. I can download and use that image however I see fit.

I can't share that book to others.

I can't post that image online (in theory, in practice this is very common).

Copyright protects distribution, not use, because protecting use would be hideously draconian. To protect use means that the government can enter your home and validate how you use the stuff you've acquired. It says that you not only control your works, but all things even remotely derived from it.

Derived works <> preventing machine learning model translation. A derived work is typically something like adding a chapter or translating.

This would kill video game genres.

This would kill novel genres.

This would kill most of the internet and the ability to download images at all.

Open this door and the entire system of copyright will turn into an absolute monster. Every large copyright holder will use the precedent and they will argue with validity that they have the right to control your use of their material as well.

Adding that the model is violating copyright by responding images is perfectly valid, but this isn't what Getty and others seems to be aiming for. The want the right to charge to use to train, which is a gross extension of copyright that has never existed.

The answer here should be three fold.

Light a fire under stable diffusion to get their model to never overfit and clone or close to clone images.

Ensure people who distribute images that are clones made with the models can be hit with copyright.

Protect the ability to train models on publicly available content.

Protect people's right to distribute their content while not annihilating AI in the process. People making these arguments don't care about copyright, in almost all cases they care about either making money (getty) or annihilating AI (artists)
The software is better than the Switch, and the CPU/GPU is more capable. I'd say the design of the Switch is much better, though. My biggest frustration with the Deck is how huge it is, and second place goes to how poor the screen is vs OLED. Third goes to battery life :/

While three stoves was probably ahistorical for most homes, a fire which heats the home and is also used to cook (food in ceramic containers) was absolutely commonplace. In particular, a controlled cooking fire in the center of a single-room thatched-roof home was the template for much of Europe, Asia, and for some of the North American natives, albeit at different points in their history.

i was at google half a decade ago. Multiple SVPs expressed in private a concern of search revenue growth and search being disrupted. That was likely the reason for all the now dead products, to attempt to diversify revenue.

Meanwhile the company was focusing on DEI vs skill, and thoughtfulness over delivery. They preached 10x but refused to pursue 10x ideas. They tried to create an accelerator, a120 which focused too much on me too products.

It was clear to me then that google was repeating the same mistakes of Yahoo, IBM, HP and other prior tech giants. When it was brought up, nobody listened.

I can only think that the reason for this was Sundar, Urs and other executive leadership. They need to be replaced if google is to excel in the future.
Ask HN: What would ask Head of Recruitment at an HFT firm?
We have a webinar coming up with the Head of Recruitment and a Quant Researcher (who does technical interviews).

We want to get some questions ready for them both.

We (and they) are very interested in applicants from _outside_ the (finance) industry - not just current quants and fintech people.

The Quant Researcher is actually not from the finance industry - so he has an interesting perspective.

Beware of Pet Explanations (2022)
A really good book on improving your (nonfiction) writing is Zinsser's On Writing Well.

For me the hardest part of effective writing is revision. There are the few lucky writers who get things right in the first draft. Then there are the rest of us, who need to spend 10x the time or longer on rewriting and fussing. Unfortunately many people in the latter group think they fall into the first.

In tech essays in particular, you can get far by trying to sound as little like Paul Graham as possible. Let his style be your anti-lodestar.
The answer is: "If it matters to you, you should not be doing FP math."

I think this is the more likely end state. Instead of builds targeting certain platforms, some amalgamation of windows APIs and perhaps vulcan or other special things sprinkled in will become a sort of standard. From there, Linux compatibility will be brought up to the same level as Windows and perhaps other platforms will follow suit. We've seen this pattern time and time again in software.

At least the Prometheus model used by Bing is aware of its sources and displays them as links below the result. That could help driving traffic and monetisation. This is something that Google Bard seemed to lack for now.

Ask Black HN: How's it going?
In light of Black History Month, I'm curious about the experience of Black folks in technical fields.

- What challenges have you faced that seem to be pigment-based?

- What improvements have you seen in your field?

- What do you want to see but haven't yet?

- What would help the field to get there?

This post is directed at Black people but isn't meant to exclude anyone else. When sharing something subjective, consider including your vantage point. E.g. I'm fairly White and I hope this question isn't too cringe. I felt curious about this and decided to ask.
> asan/ubsan are great for finding language-level undefined behavior. But apart from some functions like memcpy that asan is hooking, they cannot find library-level undefined behavior such as the pop_back() on the empty vector. (That's an inline function inside a template, there's no way asan could hook this!)

no, libstdc++ is at least partly instrumented with explicit asan support : https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/libstdc++/2017-07/msg00014.htm... so fsanitize should be able to catch it (and after checking, definitely does: https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/rjadKvPTs)

I’m not so sure they have the Datacenter capacity with GPU’s to make that happen overnight, even if they have the software. They have an advantage in the demand side of that equation, but the supply side (datacenters, capacity) is a real challenge not to be overlooked.

It's different. Most people on Twitter are there to promote their ideas and themselves, not get paid. So free syndication is fine for them. Most popular/quality YouTube content is there because the creator wants to get paid, not to spread their ideas.
You know, I think the contrary is true. Google works well because of the "search signal", how accurately Google knows what you're wanting to buy, essentially.

ChatGPT style conversations would give Google a much better idea of exactly what you want to buy. It must be possible to use this signal to sell more ads, not just match what they currently have. Essentially, make sure ChatGPT gets asked the same question Google currently answers: "how do I get the person searching to buy something from this (loooong) list of ads?".

Having people help Google (not just in one search, but a potentially long list of refinements) to find exactly what they would buy should make Google ads perform much better yet again.
Not really "the Turing test" since whether or not the condition is met is based on if a computer can pass as a person [2]. This differs from Turing's test as it was about having two unknown remote (A,B) communicators with a third (C) person and C had to identify which of A,B was the woman. [1]

Heat pump electrical usage does not go up as the temperature drops. In fact the actual heat pump itself uses less electricity because the compressor needs to slow down in order to scavenge the outdoor heat needed to vaporize the refrigerant.

What causes a spike in electrical usage is the backup resistive heat source that kicks in when the compressor cannot satisfy the demand for heat.

Installing a heat pump that is engineered and properly sized for extreme cold will prevent this issue. My heat pump does not have a backup resistive heater and I can watch the compressor cycle in realtime on my Sense Home Energy Monitor. The pattern is quite obvious once you understand what you are looking at.

-edit- power consumption tracks the heat load in normal temp ranges, I am referring to the backup heat source turning on during extreme cold.
