I don't understand it all but apparently the story is: (a) When the F35 was designed, it reduced the number of external air scoops by using integrated heat exchangers which used the relative cool air from the engine fan (the first stage of the engine) to cool all the plane's systems [1]. Bleed air is when you "bleed" or tap the exhaust of the engine and use it to power other systems i.e., power the system that produces electricity.

The GAO says this design is flawed. To make up for it, pilots have run the engines harder/hotter. Which reduces the life of the engines [2]. The GAO said Lockheed told P&W five years after the program started, it needed more bleed air. Based on our preliminary observations, the PTMS needs more air pressure from the engine to cool subsystems than originally anticipated, which means that the engine is working harder than it was designed to, resulting in reduced engine life. Program officials explained that Pratt & Whitney designed the engine to provide a certain amount of air pressure
to the PTMS, which Lockheed Martin defined early in the development program. While Pratt & Whitney’s F135 engine met those specifications, program officials stated that in 2008, Lockheed Martin discovered that the PTMS would need more air pressure from the engine than originally anticipated to help cool aircraft subsystems. According to program officials, in 2013, Lockheed Martin requested to change the F135’s design to provide more air pressure to the PTMS, but program officials
determined that it was too late to redesign the engine given the cost and schedule impacts of such a change at that stage of the overall program. Program officials decided to continue with the F135 engine’s original
design with the understanding that there would be increased wear and tear on the engine because it would need to provide more air pressure to the PTMS than its design intended. However, the higher air pressure needs results in the engine working harder than intended, which increases maintenance and reduces engine life. As we reported in July 2022, the engine is witnessing higher than expected maintenance

Furthermore, the USAF plans to upgrade the F35 with its new TRS3 computer system to field Block 4 capabilities which will require even more electrical power which will generate even more waste heat etc [3]. TR-3 provides computational horsepower to support Block 4 modernization capabilities. Block 4 upgrades add new and enhanced capabilities to ensure our platform remains relevant against rapidly evolving threats. The existing infrastructure relies on ten-year-old processing and memory, which cannot fully unlock the new capabilities needed for warfighter success. Much like a new mobile cell phone or personal computer, TR-3 will host new
Block 4 capabilities and applications with significantly more computing power and memory than the legacy infrastructure.

Everything you say can be true and it doesn't change the fact the HN would be worse because of it.

HN is a place I come to escape the rest of the internet.

I hope it doesn't get ruined by politics, like everything else in the world seems to have been.
My biggest gripe about LEDs is the trend towards fixtures that use them as non-replaceable bulbs. The claim is that they will last X number of decades so there will be no need to change the bulb. This is bullshit, in my experience.

I bought two light fixtures like this that claimed to last "up to 40 years". Almost all have weasel words like "up to". Both were dead within a year. Instead a quick operstion to swap out the bulb I had to find whole new units and re-hardwire them in.

More recently I needed a new garage light and Home Depot didn't cary a single option with replaceable bulbs. Not one.
No i think this is a reasonable response. I’ve completely checked out of politics as well after 4 years of trump and two years of a continued culture war.
I love everything Framework does, but I feel that the company should be focusing on QA, fixing the shipping and warranty process instead of adding new features like a removeable battery. Their attempt at leading the industry back towards upgradeability and repairability is extremely important, but they can only succeed if QA and after sales is also on point. Which, sadly, is not the case right now.
To play devil's advocate a little bit. From a structural perspective, it was pretty much impossible for the courts to recruit any jury that wouldn't be biased. Furthermore, the case was in New York, which is a very democratic city. I would be surprised if any jury picked from there wasn't biased and wouldn't have convicted him of any crime the judge put in front of them.

To be perfectly clear, I am not a fan of Donald Trump, and personally think he is likely guilty. I'm just commenting on a specific aspect of the case that I find interesting.
If, somehow, Bush and Cheney are even considered for an investigation, I will gladly support Bragg's effort. That said, can you give me a rough estimate of a chance of that happening in the next decade?
> Writing software is not a differentiator. It’s not a shortcut to big bucks. It’s not a solution in itself. It’s just a tool. Anything you can write in a week (or 3 months) can be done by 100,000 other people—-in a week (or 3 months).

That precise argument is why I didn't make Slack. And yet Slack is a lots-of-dollars business, made by people who, as far as I can see, started with no more expertise in the domain than any of us who've ever worked for a big company has.

As I get older I'm more and more convinced that actually doing anything at all can be a differentiator.

I think the tube infrastructure is a bit harder than the physical tube.

You might be able to get, say, a VGA monitor but need to hook up a composite-only console, and that means a hairball of adaptors and converters.

I could see some merit in a generic "chassis" kit-- it would have all the important inputs and geometry controls, but be buildable to drive a range of common picture tubes salvaged from old monitors and TVs. Might even be a chance to upcycle TVs and monitors where the original chassis was crappy and unreliable.
I think it depends on the destination. They are also able to send book rate mail. Either way, the average price of a book is about three dollars and it claims free shipping, so if it's rolled into the price of the book, that is still extremely cheap for a book
How can you know this? The indictment hasn’t even been unsealed.
People are flagging you but seriously, if you pay attention to state and level GOP politics, the legislative priority of all things is... Banning drag queens? And books that mention anything besides white/cis/straight experiences? Railing against ESG funds? These are the most pressing issues the base think needs to be addressed?

I think these GOP efforts inflict real harm, but the top-priotity obsession against trans people is so strange to me, especially when trans people are a tiny fraction of the whole population.

What happened to being the party of free speech?

I am serious, if someone honestly can explain the GOPs enacted platform outside of being "anti-woke" I'd be interested to hear it. I don't see a vision, I see the mob culture war politics they claim they fighting.
Ooo this is fun! Maybe applying some voice effects would be cool, like if I can make my colleagues sound like Tolkien characters.

Worth observing here that military aircraft having engines with cooling problems and consequent engine life issues is nothing new.

The B-29 that dropped the atom bombs in Japan had engines that were apparently so prone to overheating that rather than prioritising gaining altitude after takeoff B-29 pilots had to prioritise gaining airspeed lest the engines catch on fire. The engines also had an extremely short service life, with engines replaced after as little as 75 hours of service [1]

Similarly, the Soviet MiG-25 was theoretically capable of well over Mach 3, but was limited to Mach 2.8 to prevent the engines overheating [2]

Remember John Edwards, former Democratic nominee for vice-President, was essentially indicted for the same thing Trump is now, that is using political contributions as hush money. Edwards was facing 30 years for all the charges arraigned against him.

We still don't know the specifics or the extent of Trump's legal issues, as the Grand jury is still ongoing for this case and others.
Apparently 34 charges.

This seems like an obvious call to civil war when we jail an ex-president who is the frontrunner for the next election. Jailing a person who could as likely as not be be supported by a majority of voters for the presidency would probably be the single most anti-democratic act to ever occur in the US. I never thought we could outdo secret trials, but here we are, doing a speedrun into total collapse.

I'm just astounded that the centrist blob thinks that they can get away with this utilizing a largely right-wing military, an extremely right-wing police force, and a extremely well-armed and numerous right-wing element of the population. It's madness. Maybe (most likely) the lords of surveillance and and propaganda have a better idea of the country's pulse and and potential reaction than I do. Maybe the incompetents in the Biden Admin aren't running the show, and the intelligence agencies are fully and competently in control.

If some African, Central Asian or South American country arrested the presidential frontrunner for paying a prostitute not to mention that he patronized her, everyone would recognize it as a country about to fall into violent anarchy. It's sad that in the clouds our suburban upper-middle class have their heads in, there apparently aren't any mirrors.

If you believe in democracy, you hate this. If you believe in the version of the "rule of law" being bandied around that insists that law occupies some abstract space above the will of the deplorable population, a place ruled by angels that resemble the Warren Court and were educated at Harvard, Yale, or small private liberal arts colleges in the northeast - I think you may be absolutely blindsided in the coming months.

edit: somehow, corporations got the unlimited ability to bribe politicians and political parties, but campaign finance laws can be warped to cover this shit.
It is really difficult to suggest or even use a BSD myself. The hardware support is years behind Linux; Linux is often a year or behind Windows for new hardware, but much more for more niche things. Linux drivers, at least Intel and AMD graphics drivers, do tend to mature faster than their Windows counterparts in my limited experience.

Then you go into development work where the GNU version of many command line tools have more features than the BSD counterparts. Systemd offers very nice unification of a lot of previous disarrayed scripts. Wayland is the future, wish it was smoother and more unified, but people should not be using Xorg as it just does not handle things that well, such as different refresh rate monitors or screen tearing.

The only orgs that tend to use BSD tend to not want to give back. This harms the community. The GPL was very important for establishing a somewhat sustainable open source ecosystem.
It is isn't it? However, it seems that someone wants outrage. If it was a different political person, it wouldn't be on the front page.

The admission here is that the only reason why this was upvoted or on the front page is because the only good news is Trump schadenfreude and the opportunity for launching cheap attacks here.

The only 'bad news' is any good news that benefits Trump. (Which never makes it on top on HN anyway, and it shouldn't and vice versa because it is pure politics and creates a complete mess of the comments and dang knows it.)

Just look at the wave of flagged comments everywhere in this thread. It tells use that there is good reason why such news like this should not be on top of this page. (It is not intellectually interesting, it is partisan and a heavily divisive flame-bait topic.)

It never helps pouring fuel on the flames.
Indictment is an unfamiliar and intimidating word. In reality it begins a much more involved process and it doesn’t indicate guilt. It is most certainly not a verdict or a prelude to a sentence being handed down, as many people seem to believe judging by social media.
Thanks! Agreed, the protocol for both input/output is super important and our top priority right now. It's also the thing we're most excited about from a technical perspective, since we haven't seen anything quite like what we're doing before.
Many solid state guitar amps are made by the tube amp companies, who have a vested interest in treating those models as entry-level stuff from which the real pro is supposed to upgrade to the inconvenient tube stuff.

The mistake with most solid state guitar amps is that they have similar wattages to tube amps. At
stage volumes, it's easy for a measly 50 or 100W thing to go into clipping.

If you want solid-state guitar amplification, skip guitar amps and use a high wattage power amp used for sound reinforcement. E.g. something that puts out like 800W or more into a 4 Ohm load. This will have the headroom not to crap out when competing with the other guitarist's 100W head.

Not only that, but it will cost you less $$$ (particularly in the second hand market), and likely weigh less than your friend's 100W tube head.

Solid state guitar amps from guitar amp companies are snake oil, basically. They are not representative of what you can do with solid state.

Did you know Eddie Van Halen used solid state amps? One thing he did was to use a Marhsall tube amp head as a giant guitar pre-amp: capture the speaker output, reduced to line level, and re-amplify with a power amp, like a H&H V800.

No. When Trump was in power, he mattered and his nonsense had real consequences, and he had a presence on all of the major social media platforms, and people willing to take violence to the streets for him. Now he's shrieking in all caps in his little corner of the internet and making deranged threats about "consequences" if he's arrested and... almost no one seems to care. He's no longer leader of the free world, he's just a rich, corrupt asshole shrieking into the void and shilling NFTs.

There are worse things coming down the pipeline than Trump anyway, it seems he was just a trial balloon for the fascist era we're heading into. I just wish he'd go away already.
There is a very small minority of people that will fall for these schemes.
GPT4 is way off the mark for me as well:

As an AI language model, it is impossible for me to provide a comprehensive list of all soccer players whose names contain a 'Z', as there are thousands of professional and amateur players worldwide. However, I can provide you with a list of some well-known soccer players with a 'Z' in their names, though please note that this list may not be exhaustive or up-to-date:

Zinedine Zidane (France)
Zlatan Ibrahimović (Sweden)
David Alaba (Austria)
Nemanja Vidić (Serbia)
Marek Hamšík (Slovakia)
Miralem Pjanić (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
Franck Ribéry (France)
Sami Khedira (Germany)
Blaise Matuidi (France)
Andrea Pirlo (Italy)
Ivan Rakitić (Croatia)
Gylfi Sigurðsson (Iceland)
Łukasz Piszczek (Poland)
Sokratis Papastathopoulos (Greece)
Kalidou Koulibaly (Senegal)
Hakim Ziyech (Morocco)
Raphaël Varane (France)
Federico Valverde (Uruguay)
Again, this is not an exhaustive list and there may be other soccer players with a 'Z' in their names who are not mentioned here.

> The jury did and voted to indict

I honestly wouldn't put any faith in a jury choosing to indict. As famously once said, you can convince a jury to indict a ham sandwich. I'm waiting to see what the charges actually are and the evidence for them.

(1985 quote)

> In a bid to make prosecutors more accountable for their actions, Chief Judge Sol Wachtler has proposed that the state scrap the grand jury system of bringing criminal indictments.

> Wachtler, who became the state’s top judge earlier this month, said district attorneys now have so much influence on grand juries that “by and large” they could get them to “indict a ham sandwich.”
I think it’s rare for individuals in extreme-stress jobs like the SoS position he held to live much past 70. I have to guess that everyone who cared about charging him thought that it would be a waste of time, energy, and money based on his age for the last 30 years.
Keep in mind we don’t know the charges yet, or details of the case, like what evidence there is.

If you pronounce it a joke or predict the disbarment of Bragg now, you aren’t doing it based on the merits of the case.
IANAL but I know that a lot of companies when they lay people off give them various "parachutes" in the form of money and included are anti-disparagement clauses, that if broken you have to return the money.

And a lot of settlement cases could be argued to do the same thing. Using campaign money to do it might be illegal. Again, not a lawyer.

And then there's the whole "a DA can indict a ham sandwich" notion.

I don't pretend to know how this is going to shake out, but I've got my popcorn.
> They’re buying them because they like the sound.

You’re giving guitar players too much credit, they are only one step below “audiophiles” in their love for snake oil and marketing.

Tube amps persist mostly because guitar players instinctively turn their nose up at solid state, due to tubes having been the state of the art when the first generation of world famous electric guitarists was young.

Bass players are slightly better, mostly because an SVT head weighs 80 pounds and nobody wants to lug them around.
Seems like a good time to remind folks that "indicted" is a synonym for "accused"
> after everyone finishes eating, he boxes up the leftovers, and starts selling them out of a food cart.

That particular example doesn't seem all that great, as it gives the impression of not letting food go to waste.

That's the thing, AI tools aren't trying to approximate me. They are their own unique collection of experiences/input.
The title is inaccurate. It was an unsigned order with two dissents.

>By far the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it. Of course this problem is not limited to the field of AI. Jacques Monod wrote: "A curious aspect of the theory of evolution is that everybody thinks he understands it." (Monod 1974.) My father, a physicist, complained about people making up their own theories of physics; he wanted to know why people did not make up their own theories of chemistry. (Answer: They do.) Nonetheless the problem seems to be unusually acute in Artificial Intelligence. The field of AI has a reputation for making huge promises and then failing to deliver on them. Most observers conclude that AI is hard; as indeed it is. But the embarrassment does not stem from the difficulty. It is difficult to build a star from hydrogen, but the field of stellar astronomy does not have a terrible reputation for promising to build stars and then failing.

You’re not equally good at things. But you only roll for things that matter. Persuasion is the worst offender because rookie DMs use dice to replace actual role play. And it makes their npcs into props that are largely controlled by the party face.

Persuasion checks should be used when the party is actually persuading someone to do something that they don’t want to do. Terrible DMs treat it as mind control because your silly min max bars had 20 CHA and expertise. Less experienced DMs use it as a crutch.

The bare minimum thing DMs ought to do is realize the the difficulty of a persuasion check should depend on the baseline persuasiveness of the argument. If the party is making an excellent point, the check should be very easy. If the party makes no point and just asks the NPC to do something unreasonable, it should be basically impossible. If this isn’t the case, NPCs feel very stupid.

There’s no particular reason for it to be a skill at all tbh. It is just more interesting to roleplay.
