Crew and maintenance are both higher costs for most airlines, according to this and other sources I've found: https://www.icao.int/mid/documents/2017/aviation%20data%20an...

Let's say that you can now make twice as many flights in a day. You can now do twice as many flights with the same crew and aircraft (same maintenance costs). Your fuel costs increase, but your other costs remain fixed, so despite the increase in fuel costs, you still end up making more profit. You might be able to charge more for the faster flights as well, and there may be beneficial second-order effects.
Sabine Hossenfelder’s latest vid on how to think about and avoid emergent stupidity in groups.

TLDR: Ways of avoiding it:

1. To utilize collective intelligence of group, must find format for group interactions in which every person is comfortable coming forward with their information and perspective.

2. Must find a way to prevent one person from being biased by another, to the extent possible.

3. Avoid our natural tendancy to focus on issues which come up more frequently, vs those which are more important. Quandrant tables which help identify which items are important/urgent, important/not urgent, not important/urgent, and not important/not urgent can be useful.

4. Reminding people that their opinion might be biased can help reduce the effect, at least in small groups.

5. In larger crowds like in social media, sometimes “just stepping back and thinking about what you’re doing” is helpful.

6. Beat the crowd by being part of a group. Studies have found that small groups perform better than individuals on tasks for which there is a right or wrong answer. Eg, not sure if an email/tweet/etc is legit or scam? Ask a few friends.

7. Biggest problems for groups in getting things right is having confident people. Confident people tend to make up their minds first, which causes an information cascade that sways the rest of the group. Problem is when they are wrong, they tend to amplify the errors.

8. Egocentric bias - we tend to overate our own opinions. Try to hold back on forming your own opinion.

9. Garbage in, garbage out. Try improve quality of your own opinions by carefully choosing your inputs. If everyone in group does this, more likely to avoid collective stupidity.
Counting calories itself is an exercise in accounting. How would it help with weight loss?
This is literally going to be a minor annoyance at most for the handful of attackers that go after OpenBSD.
In my experience, I agree: not everyone can put in the same kind of extra effort. And in areas where people are replaceable cogs, this can really hurt some people.

But in knowledge work, if things are hitting the wall and there is pressure to extra-contribute but you are not in a position to put in extra time, you can still respond in a way that visibly shows your commitment.

Express to your management & team your concern about the need for extra commitments and ask-for/suggest ways you can realign your work to prioritize what is most important to the situation.

Nothing makes up for limited additional capacity more than demonstrating that despite your constraints, you are all in to help everyone around you succeed.

Again, this may not work as a low level cog where management isn’t invested in the individuals that work for them. But in other cases, people do appreciate demonstrations of commitment even if you cannot contribute more on some dimensions.

It’s just important to explicitly and visibly show your flexibility and willingness to incorporate others suggestions, on all the dimensions you can adapt.
Just remember, in capitalism: if you aren't exploited you aren't valuable.

Your goal as a worker is to right size that exploitation.
Wow. This was great advice. Remind me to look you up when I present my next project. Thank you for modeling what a great critique looks like.
If they aren’t PCs, and they aren’t microcomputers, then what should they be called?
I don't understand how our very expensive jets don't have long range HD cameras on them to film all these probes.

Why is every video they release some fuzzy radar. One former jet pilot I saw recently said the probes would fly right through their formations. This was real recent so the pilots could have their own cell cameras and release after they are out of the military.

I find what Facebook has done to a non-negligible portion of boomers to be a morbid & highly interesting phenomenon.
/Worse/ than Apple? But…Apple enjoy designating something like "Model: M1136" and using that same designation over, seemingly, decades of variation, such that Apple staff have to ask about various attributes to identify anything: "You say that's a 2019 iMac? Does it have x RAM or y RAM? An n GB drive, or o GB? With ATI FoonlyX 646 graphics? Late 2019 or early?"

Somehow, Apple Computer Inc. were somewhat competent to select model numbers, but Apple, Inc. is not. (-:

I wonder what are the effects of Conway's Law on each of these structures.

"Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure." — Melvin E. Conway
Can you share examples of this? I've been doing some searching on my own because I find this stuff interesting, and I haven't seen evidence that current versions of AI tools are capable of helping generate entire apps in minutes, at least non-trivial ones.

I keep seeing some real dramatic premonitions about AI, and I'd love to see something to back them up.

Even the original post, I'm having trouble understanding. I know Stable Diffusion can create some amazing images, but I don't see how it's being used to create sprite assets for games. You typically need the same character from different angles. Can Midjourney v5 do that? The OP talks about being a 3D artist. Can Midjourney generate meshes and 3D objects or just raster images? I didn't think we were at the point where these tools could fully replace an artist's workflow, but the OP seems to claim so.
Whether this is a reasonable law or not, my big problem with it is that it puts the burden of enforcement on tech platforms rather than the kids' parents. There is no way for any company to check for something like this without also affecting every other user of the site, whether they are in Utah or not and whether they are a teen or not. What do they do exactly, start collecting government IDs from us before every visit?

I think Proxmox adoption (both enterprise and SMB) has increased a lot in the last 6-12 months re VMware's new pricing changes.
Oh my sweet summer child, if you think some strings in a file called LICENSE.txt in your repository is going to change how your software is used in practice, I have some bad news for you :) This is something you will learn as you gain more experience in the industry.

8 years ago I put a small C library for an extremely niche product on Github, for my own archival. No license and no intent for it to be used by anyone other than myself. To my surprise, I found out a few years ago it's used in quite a few projects--and in at least one case, used in automotive software you've probably used before ;)

Do I cry and complain that I didn't get credit or a paycheck? No. This is the true spirit of free and open source software. Sharing code with the world for the collective improvement of software everywhere. Open source is not pursuing frivolous lawsuits as MinIO is doing here.
um, my point?
Recent evidence shows that Oumaumau is likely outgassing trapped hydrogen where sunlight hits which is the cause of the very slight increase acceleration that was seen an anomalous.

I ran into issue, where I shutdown system with Proxmox before start of EDT, shipped it to co-worker and when he powered it on after daylight saving time was in effect, time was off by 1 hour for Proxmox and all LXC containers.

Fix was to re-symlink `/etc/localtime` to proper time zone.

Didn't want or cared to dig into this deeper, but interesting to see that there are more issues about this.
Proxmox runs Debian under the hood. Proxmox 7.x is based on Debian 11.x:

Feature suggestion: it would be good to have the option to have a note "stick" to a point in the document. I know that that's not always what people would want, but I could really see it being useful in certain circumstances.
If you care about emissions then limit emissions.

Limiting proxy metrics, almost as speed instead of noise, when the limit is pretty easy to enforce doesn't do anything other than stifling innovation.
> Why doesn't the plumber deserve a payment every time you shit then?

Pretty sure the plumber is getting (very) decently paid for their work. Pretty sure the people who planned and installed the sewage system were well remunerated.

Pretty sure the person who wrote the trashy Harlequin novel in your example has to grind pretty hard to earn enough to buy their, let's say, diabetic medication.

> Also, fuck you for assuming I've never made any art.

And thank you for speaking up on behalf of all artists and kindly telling us all that we should expect 20 years worth of almost nothing out of efforts, instead of a lifetime.

So licence it CC-0. Or release it to the Public Domain. Knock yourself out.
The Pentagon official is head of UFO office, and Avi Loeb is collaborator.

I can’t tell if news and public can’t handle speculation, or if authors believe in their speculation. Authors need to be better about telling reporters what is speculation, and act like they don’t believe speculation.
Is the extra "s" after "daylight saving" canon yet?
Right, the frat party I went to was sponsored by Microsoft and had Xbox stations.

Different.
The footprint of the receptacle is wider than the actual plug that goes into it, by a significant amount. It only looks like it'll fit from the outside.

Analog audio was just me being exhaustive, I'm pretty sure none of Intel's chips support that altmode natively. Hell, only like half of the market of USB-C phones support it, which makes it mildly cursed.
> servers should always be UTC

All of the servers I run are located in Toronto, Canada: why do I care about UTC? What would having all of them being UTC get me?

A few jobs ago I took care of servers that were in: California, Ontario, Quebec, Switzerland, Singapore. UTC made sense there.

- Offline activities I want to track
End of anonymity and end of large scale unfiltered user-generated content. The internet is going to become like every other form of information media where a tiny group of people/companies is publishing and the rest of us are consuming, no questions asked.
It's a video game including product placement ... hobby farmers or those new to farming might, might, be influenced if they have money to throw around like it was nothing. Still it's useful for highlighting what new equipment features are available, but end of day a shrewd farmer is going to want to look over it in person or hear good testimonies from previous owners on how the gear holds up, cost to fix, availability and time frame of spares, and if previous fubab cost saving ideas on an earlier models have been rectified. In my region, I've watched a couple well funded entities buy nice sounding tractors without ever questioning time frame on parts arriving from an overseas destination, or how much time said brand of tractor spends in the shop each month, they learned something though albeit, the hard way.
>The nuance is that most can read, but not "at their age level"

I wonder what percentage are learning English as a 2nd language.

The problem I see with using "black" as a descriptor is there are recent African immigrants, 1+ gen. African immigrants, Afro latinos, descendants of enslaved Americans, etc... put under one umbrella.

How can anyone pinpoint why a % of "black" students have reading issues at similar rates to hispanic students when the statistics pool black people from vastly different backgrounds together?

Can you link me to a peer-reviewed article that shows the “unapproved vaccine” that caused even 100 deaths?
Economic/systemic change has been off the table for quite a while. These poor politicians are just playing the only cards they have available - social tribal chanting - while filling their personal coffers as much as possible while the getting's good.
Compilers are easy. The concurrent garbage collector is where the challenge begins, nowadays.
I’m a poet, I do poet things.

The market of people who care enough about those aspects to pay an expert is, I'm guessing, much smaller than the market for people who will be fine with whatever they can come up with themselves.
If you need a large sub tree gone, mv dir .old-dir && rm -r .old-dir & works pretty well. Faster even than an optimized parallel unlinker.
It is, however, a lie when you demonize and censor those who did so much as mildly disagree about any of it. "You are wrong according to what we know now" can be factual. "You are wrong and deserve to be silenced" is a damnable lie.
Okay. Link me to a single production app with paying users that was created with AI in minutes.

Since it only takes minutes to make you must have a lot of examples.
The very nature of counting calories is an accounting of persistently causing more calories to be expended than intaken. Your post appears delusional. Calorie deficits cause weight loss and "report them".
Oh, I get it. You think that my disagreement stems from a lack of understanding and that if I disagree it is because I don't understand what you're saying.
We would need to go post-money too. The idea of say a million or so rich people running all the robots selling to a destitute everyone else doesn’t really work.
Call their bluff - don’t make your service available in Utah.
> Over what period?

At least 2-3 years, anything less is too small a sample size. You could be highlighting a 10% decline after a 200% increase.
Great and you can send them components if needed.
It's thought provoking, but I don't think it stands up to scrutiny. In jurisdictions where it is illegal to be a Christian, the standard of proof is usually around the trappings of religion: you attended this service, you gave money to this church, you celebrated on this day. Nobody gets sent to the gulag for showing forgiveness or having faith in the Resurrection or whatever your pastor might actually have wanted to instil.
This is the best I have found. Also great if you are consulting/freelancing and want to generate reports to attach to an invoice
From my understanding (which seems to differ from OP), the benefit of running models on ANE is for much lower power usage, not necessarily speed.

Apple’s always-on Hey Siri wake word detection uses ANE for minimal battery life.

I’m not sure but I think android’s “Now Playing” feature (the always-on Shazam thing that shows the names of songs playing around you on your lock screen ) also uses Edge TPU for similar reasons.
That sound you hear from aircraft overhead -- yeah, that's wasted energy.

Do you want waste?
Because that's how you get waste!
I don't see any problem with it either, my understanding was that the following weight classes existed around (and slightly before) that time:

Mainframes = room sized montrosities

Minicomputers = multi-cupboard units

Superminicomputers = just one cupboard or small fridge

Microcomputers or personal computers = these guys in the article
using titles is just such a burden.. i'd rather just be myself, who enjoys the hell out of stuff and let people in dire need of belonging come up with titles.
Compiler writing does involve a fair amount of tedium. I don't think it has anything to do with experience, either. It's why tools like Yacc, Lemon, or ANTLR exist.
> Ironically, some mysticisms like meditation (and perhaps even prayer) may even have a higher bar because they are a physically transformative competence akin to practicing music

The issue there is that while meditating leads to "something" happening for sure, almost nobody is going to stop to check if it's the right "something" and the teacher can't look inside your mind. So you might just have a mental breakdown then decide that's proof you're "enlightened".

(Was going to quote David Chapman here but someone already did in this thread. But I mean, it's how most cults or New Agey religious groups start.)
Is something wrong with that? You have to start somewhere.
"If you are counting a set that is larger than your count"

What does that mean?
As someone who has been doing the same thing recently, here's how I solved the issue where the page content has to be in the initial HTML.

The first thing I did was fall back to a headless browser. Let it sit for 5 seconds to let the page render, then snatch the innerText.

But 5-10% of sites do a good job of showing you the door for being a robot.

I wanted to try and solve those cases by taking a screenshot of the page and using GPT-4 visual inputs, but when I got access I realized that 1) visual inputs aren't available yet and 2) holy crap is GPT-4 expensive.

So instead what I do is give a screenshot service the url, get back a full-page PNG, then I hand that off to GCP Cloud Vision to OCR it. The OCRed text then gets fed into GPT-3.5 like normal.
The problem is that loyalty is one of those words that is so emotionally charged that doesn't really mean anything concrete anymore.

If you define loyalty as ignoring short term potential self-interest by leaving/betraying/not-doing-overtime in favor of the long term value you will receive from the relationship, then, even if you may be betrayed in return anyway, it's not really weakness - you just made a mistake.

If you know you're getting a bad deal, and you predict it's not going to get better in the long term, and you stay anyway, you're not "loyal", you're weak.
It helps to think of it as augmentation rather than a separate entity. That way you can lead it consciously.

Reminds me of the story of Mel.

Mel obviously took pride in his work, and seemed to look down on compilers in much the same way the author looks down on Midjourney.
Only in societies that are culturally inclined to open and direct communication. In societies where indirect communication is the dominant form, a "request" might be a command, a polite suggestion or an expression of disapproval, or anything in between.
One tip, copilot is absurdly good at giving you interpreter/compiler boilerplate. You can definitely use it to speed through the boring parts.

I think the point is missed here.
the post was made by an artist who really likes his craft, and now with the generated models coming to the picture he feels like his work diminished to simply polishing after them.

I am a coder who really likes coding, getting results quicker will not make me happier.

it is different in a work environment, but still, a lot of people simply enjoy the path and not only the outcome.
Compilers are like puzzles to be solved. They are so deeply coupled internally and so grounded in pure logic that in many cases, features of the languages implement themselves as the logical consequence of the way the compiler it's constructed.

Learning them also teaches some skills on how to subdivide the solution to a really complex class of problems into comprehensible chunks.

Heck, there are many seemingly unrelated problem domains that can borrow solution strategies from compiler design and implementation.

It definitely is a nice tool to have in your tool belt.
I assume by default the true motive behind this is surveilling and outing gay and lgbt youth, thought-policing and suppressing progressive political speech and activism. I don't trust the motives of any red state in this regard.

Even if that figure is correct, that statement was unequivocally and demonstrably false. We really should not be making excuses for politicians lying to the public; it is never acceptable, and we have every right to demand better.

Turn it around. The antivaxxer types can now claim, correctly even, that officials lied multiple times about the efficacy of the countermeasures. That is not the kind of ammunition you want to be giving out during the next public health crisis.
Yes, if your boss requires you to pretend to be a checklist instead of a human, then you're not any better at your job than an animated checklist would be.
Building a DOS ChatGPT client in 2023
I used to live in a country where I was screening hiring applicants and the resumes there were freaking GIANT. like huge, multi page things which i never could go through completely attached with copies of diplomas and certifications and all this superfluous stuff that flew in the face of everything I've been told about keeping resumes concise and to the point.

I kind of just felt the same about their cover letters, they always feel a bit just contrived enough to filter out people too lazy to do them or something. I really just cared if they could pass a fizzbuzz and answer some hard questions with "i would have to google that" instead of trying to technobabble me
With the recent attention on ChatGPT and OpenAI’s release of their APIs, many developers have developed clients for modern platforms to talk to this super smart AI chatbot. However I’m pretty sure almost nobody has written one for a vintage platform like MS-DOS.
On the other side of the fence, I'm extremely grateful tools like Copilot can automate the mundane process of looking up magic incantations to get some (usually poor) library to do what I want. I have no sympathy for programmers who saw it as a point of pride to memorize hundreds of built in functions and annoying minutiae.
