Yes, 100% agreed. In the human linage, deception long predates language, so it makes a lot of sense that birds get up to the same thing.

If you're interested in bird cognition, I strongly recommend Mind of the Raven. It's a very personal book by someone who did field experiments with ravens and richly conveys the challenges of understanding what they're up to. I read it because I became pals with a raven whose territory I lived in for a while. Unlike most birds I've dealt with, it was pretty clear to me that the raven and I were both thinking about what the other was thinking.
Right. Literally every pilot in the US has been taught the IMSAFE mnemonic to assess fitness to fly, even before their first solo in a single-engine piston: Illness, Medication, Stress, Alcohol, Fatigue and Emotion.
> The new FAA standards will increase an average adult passenger and carry-on bag weight to 190 pounds in the summer and 195 pounds in the winter. Up 12% from 170 pounds and 175 pounds, respectively.

This is a lot smaller in magnitude than +110-165 lb.

This popular imitative doesn't mandate the acceptance of cash. It mandates that the federal government must ensure that there are enough banknotes and coins and that replacing the swiss franc with another currency must be done via popular vote. So it's not really that radical.

The same organisation is already planning on another popular initiative that seems to go in the direction of mandating the acceptance of cash, but other than the title "Wer mit Bargeld bezahlen will, muss mit Bargeld bezahlen können" (roughly: if you want to pay with cash must be able to pay with cash) I can't find any details about it.
They kinda have until now, but I don't recall they ever stated that it was about "safety" as such. In any case, their recent demo was definitely premature.

The Janet language seems very easy to learn once you know Lisp and Clojure. But there are not community examples, for example for using regular expressions, and the http/request is not loaded in the repl when you don't install the system. Don't know why, since the net module seems to work.

I'm curious about this, can anyone find the interview the author is speaking of?
The funny thing is that it's _not_ more parentheses, roughly, than one would expect to find in any Algol/C-inspired language, like C# or JavaScript.

The opening paren is simply relocated to the other side of the function name or keyword.

What we're experiencing is just a cognitive bias which causes us to prefer the more familiar over the less familiar ([the mere-exposure effect, also called the familiarity principle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mere-exposure_effect)).

I've never used a Lisp-family language, but I find the reaction against parentheses to be overblown.

The reading order of the code is also _consistent,_ rather than the frequent switching between infix notation, prefix notation, and postfix notation which we have to learn and parse in most languages outside the Lisp family. This is a benefit which deceptively looks like it is _more_ complicated, despite being simpler to parse visually (and otherwise). Another example of the familiarity principle at work.
It's not difficult at all. If you find that someone needs constant micromanagement and doesn't get things done otherwise, it's probably best to part ways with that employee.

Sure. And there are bugs in their code, too.

https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/3/20847243/spacex-starlink-s...

"SpaceX acknowledges that it failed to communicate due to the bug and missed the emails about a higher probability of collision. Finally, on Monday morning in Europe, ESA made the call and used the thrusters on Aeolus to raise the satellite’s orbit by about 984 feet (300 meters) without waiting for SpaceX to take corrective action."
Once said that the "too high fines" sounds like an excuse, I am not sure to understand the logic of the fines (i.e. the attributing them at least partially to the company).

When you rent a car, the driver/renter pays all fines during the rent period, except maybe those related to the car itself not being fit for street use.

Why is this different for these scooters?

Ask HN: Has ChatGPT gotten worse at coding for anyone else?
I used it for coding in Python, often with the python-docx library, about six weeks ago, and it was superb. It gave me exactly what I wanted, which is no mean feat for a semi-obscure little library, and I was delighted. Then I tried it again a few weeks ago and it did worse than before, but I thought maybe it was just bad luck. Using it today, though, it seemed really really bad and it messed up some very basic Python features, like the walrus operator -- it got so bad that I gave up on it and went back to google and stack overflow.

The performance drop is so steep that I can only imagine they crippled the model, probably to cope with the explosion in demand. Has anyone else seen the same thing?

It is possible it was meant for a CAVE VR room projection system, but I think the more likely answer (as there is no rear view) is that it was just a limitation of the engine. There is no system in Doom for rendering only part of the 2D screen offset from the main view (you cannot pan to look up or down as an example). Doom's FOV was 90 degrees for a single view, so they likely just rotated the drone views 90 degrees to render the "adjacent" area of the screen.
"Do you realize how easy it is to get a person’s fingerprints?"

Very easy. Though, it's more difficult to get a specific person's fingerprints. Frankly, this is a terrible argument. Fingerprints require an escalation from the digital world to the physical.

I'm more and more convinced that a language is only as good as its ecosystem. Yes, language features and ergonomics do matter and are what initially draw people, but in the long term without a robust set of supporting tooling, well designed libraries, and a significant standard library, the language will eventually decline.

Neither Java nor Python are incredible languages as far as baseline features and semantics are concerned, but they continue to thrive because their ecosystems are fantastic and they both have really rich standard libraries to start from. Contrarily, quite a few languages I love from a language design perspective fail to gain as much traction for lack of well-developed ecosystems.

I see this as a near-miss. At my work, there'd be a post-mortem written explaining what went well and what went poorly. Just because not every line of defense was breached doesn't mean everything's peachy.

The first failure was the bug itself - without knowing more about the details it's hard to say more. But one should ask what kind of practices exist at DynamicSource - e.g., compile time thread safety checks, code review practices, testing requirements, rollout procedures - that would prevent bugs like this from getting out into production.

The second failure was that the software failed to validate its own output and fail noisily or generate a warning of some kind. It's safety-critical software - bugs may be excusable, but not giving at least a warning for an unusual output is poor engineering.

The third failure was that the flight staff failed to notice the error until tail strikes happened. Human errors do occur, but we need better systems to assist human operators. E.g., perhaps the flight software itself could act as another line of defense to prompt the pilot when values appear out of normal range.

Yes, in this case the planes weren't anywhere close to crashing. But if the assumption is that bugs are unavoidable, then there needs to be better systems in place to catch those bugs before they cause a major accident. Because the next time we might not get so lucky with detecting the issue and having someone with integrity calling the shots.

Also, no need to start off your comment with an ad hominem - a simple "software errors are unavoidable" would've said just as much.
Obviously I get that something that is written in ‘portable C’ for Linux-flavored POSIX plus GNU tools is going to be harder to get working on Windows than on m68k Linux. That’s not in dispute.

It’s more the way that people act like targeting Linux-flavored POSIX with ‘portable C’ both A) is the be-all and end-all of portability and B) entitles people who have got Linux-flavored POSIX environments and C tool chains up and running in arbitrarily weird contexts to full support.

There are other environments. Some of them are very widely used. Acting bemused by the idea someone would want to run your software in somewhere other than a Linux context, while being unsurprised that people want to take that Linux context and run it in arbitrarily weird ways is the double standard I am confused by.

Obviously it’s not universal - there are plenty of open source projects that take different paths and philosophies towards portability - think of Python, say, or Firefox.

But there is a persistent attitude that because Linux can run ‘anywhere’, supporting Linux is portability.
There’s no way to profitably run a company like Bird without foisting the externalities on someone else. Their model is literally to dump a bunch of electric scooters on the side of the road with QR codes on them and just hope for the best. Of course they’re going to get fined when their property is left blocking driveways, of course they’re going to be expected to clean up the piles of scooters that get thrown in the bay, of course their scooters are going to get stolen. Yes, all of that is ruinously expensive to deal with - it’s not a viable business plan. It’s not “onerous regulation,” it’s holding the company accountable for the costs of its business model.

Agree with you on generational difference.

It’s not really splitting hairs — you lose the primary benefits of functional programming if you disregard these things.
Are they referring to the fines from littering their scooters all over town?
Interesting. My Amiga with a 68030 @42Mhz could just about pull off mono 128Kbps decoding (as long as you didn't multitask too much). That would suggest the 486 was almost clock comparable to a 68030 at least for lossy decompression, perhaps the 486 was around ~110% had their been a 68030 series 80Mhz equivalent.

It’s better enjoyed in its complicatedness and unpredictability, not by living by a strictly structured code of conduit that will make you feel like shit when the aforementioned messiness will inevitably throw a wrench into your illusion of a well-oiled machine.

The whole idea of combatting nihilism is to overcome it. You do that by balancing chaos and order.

You are right that life is not "better" by trying to overcome. That there isn't a true recipe for happiness and thinking so is a fool's errand.

Nietzsche and John Stuart Mill had similar ideas that happiness is not the goal. But one feels happiness when resistance is being overcome. That happiness is not found, it is achieved.

Alaska Airlines has 289 airplanes (per wikipedia).

Also, to somewhat change the topic, didn't Alaska Airlines disband their QA org a few years ago as part of cost cutting? IIRC, they did this to model the software company models (that ship bugs regularly to consumers) and seem to be getting some data that they need to bring back that org...

No, if you fall into a black hole, it happens in a finite amount of time to you.

Government debanked the lockdown protestors in Canada. Freezing their bank accounts. So people started giving them cash so they have something for food.

SF is fully committed to being the "city of the past".
I don’t know.. it’s a little bit of both.

The scooters are super convenient when you can park it anywhere, the whole idea of micro-mobility actually works and is more convenient than taking an Uber or a Lyft. It’s also the most fun you can have with $3 in a city.

In theory it cuts down on unnecessary car traffic, and you don’t have to get sweaty on a bicycle. The problem is, cities started forcing by the scooters to add arcane geofencing rules requiring you to park it or pick it up far from your origin or destination. That sort of ruins the whole point of the scooters.

> > And cash is expensive. It's easy to scoff about the 1-2 % fees on cards

The fee could be 100% for the vendor if the card holders uses chargeback. People forget that chargeback exists because they almost never use it but it's a real possibility.

The recent OnlyFans scandal was in fact not an OnlyFans scandal but people charging back their credit card after the acquire the content provided by the creator.

If something has a shot at ever replacing cash won't be cards but instant wire transfers between banks so that payments mde by citizens are both real time and impossible to chargeback. SEPA Instant is the closest effort but even in leader countries there are 40%+ banks which still don't have it.

The most obvious difference is that scooters companies typically do not provide a place to park their vehicles between rentals, whereas all car rentals do... even Zipcar.
