Yes, they did, but I think they should have also been censured for their lack of care as well.

When I wrote that calculator, I didn't write it for flight. I wrote it as a general calculator and just used it for flight. I would have used the GNU bc if I didn't write my own.

So it's a bit disingenuous to claim that I am claiming that pilots should write their own.

And pilots are included in those maintaining the system; they're not just using it.
I think the main positive impact Microsoft had on the tech industry that they don't get enough credit for is that they allowed a competitive market for hardware to exist. (This was in part because IBM didn't insist that DOS be exclusive to IBM devices.) Hardware wasn't their business, so from their point of view, the more suppliers the better. We had fierce competition between manufacturers and they /mostly/ competed on a level playing field (with some notable exceptions that involved antitrust lawsuits). Eventually the hardware free-for-all created an environment where Linux could also flourish which has undermined Windows to an extent.

At this point Apple has a structural advantage over Microsoft in that Apple doesn't need to monetize their operating system to be profitable, as they're funded by hardware sales. That frees them up to provide a better user experience because they don't have to find way to make money off of their users. Not many companies are in a similar position, where they can recover software development expenses solely through hardware sales. There are a handful that could in theory, but they seem to lack the willingness.

One clicks on it and a larger version is shown using the thumb in stead of starting from scratch, now one zoons in on the image, surely loading different images from scratch every time is not the right approach? in stead we just don't serve the high resolution version that we [obviously] do have.

Because I'm talking of a recent trend, and this timeframe offers a relevant context.

If you were to say “pandas in long format only” then yes that would be correct, but the power of pandas comes in its ability to work in a long relational or wide ndarray style. Pandas was originally written to replace excel in financial/econometric modeling, not as a replacement for sql. Models written solely in the long relational style are near unmaintainable for constantly evolving models with hundreds of data sources and thousands of interactions being developed and tuned by teams of analysts and engineers.
For example, this is how some basic operations would look.

Bump prices in March 2023 up 10%:

# pandas
prices_df.loc['2023-03'] *= 1.1

# polars
polars_df.with_column(
pl.when(pl.col('timestamp').is_between(
datetime('2023-03-01'),
datetime('2023-03-31'),
include_bounds=True
)).then(pl.col('val') * 1.1)
.otherwise(pl.col('val'))
.alias('val')
)

Add expected temperature offsets to base temperature forecast at the state county level:

# pandas
temp_df + offset_df

# polars
(
temp_df
.join(offset_df, on=['state', 'county', 'timestamp'], suffix='_r')
.with_column(
( pl.col('val') + pl.col('val_r')).alias('val')
)
.select(['state', 'county', 'timestamp', 'val'])
)

Now imagine thousands of such operations, and you can see the necessity of pandas in models like this.
But that’s the problem - the risk of losing a power struggle in a democracy with rule of law, separation of powers, an independent court system, and regular elections is vastly different from the risks of losing a power struggle in the CCP, which controls all branches of government, law enforcement, and the military and is accountable to no one.

The former has a limited downside, the latter unlimited. Whatever the Central Committee decides happens to you is law with no recourse - execution, disappearing and re-education, etc. - and law enforcement and the courts are just there to justify it after the fact.

It’s clueless to publicly mouth off about the CCP if you’re a high-profile influential Chinese billionaire and therefore a potential threat to the current ruling faction, or some future ruling faction when there’s turnover. Discretion is definitely the better part of valor there.

I work with the author and have seen how difficult some of these challenges are to solve. It's a classic example of the final 20% hiding 80% of the complexity. A/V sync in particular is a really deep subject full of fun footguns and pitfalls. It's been very satisfying watching the puzzle come together.

Would be very interested to hear if anyone else has come across similar things while working with headless chrome.
Reminiscent of the precedent, 'that depends on what the meaning of is is' when the former President Clinton was asked a question during his Grand Jury Testimony circa '98 (https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clint...)

From the link (emphasis added):

> A beneficial owner does not include (i) a minor child; (ii) a nominee, intermediary, custodian or agent on behalf of another individual; (iii) an employee of the reporting company; (iv) an individual whose only interest in the reporting company is through a right of inheritance; or (v) a creditor of the reporting company.

IANAL, but agent on behalf of another individual may be tortured and twisted, by legal minds of course, to mean autonomous agent (bot) on behalf of another individual by those who want to exploit Algo Entities. Moreover, as the paper says, you just need a few jurisdictions that permit it in order for algorithmic entities to wreak havoc.
> Instead they get depth from video.

Do you have a source for that? DfM is pretty much always a worse option than multi-camera reconstruction AFAIK.

> almost every situation the car would cast a shadow to that featureless wall.

I think "almost every situation" a pretty low bar for automotive safety.

I don't know too much about what people do in the automotive world, but in robotics it's pretty common to have an IR pattern projector if you really need depth on featureless surfaces.
Most people, for most things, don't have the luxury of seeking C. They simply need to know enough that they can go about their lives and be effective.

For a programming example - I've been in jobs that enforced the "single return value" rule over functions. For older versions of C or other languages, this makes sense. The shop mostly used C#, which uses exceptions, which means that the benefit of the single return wasn't there, because any line potentially exits the function. The rule then prevents exit early and similar, more effective techniques.

The people setting the rule had learned that Djikstra style structured programming was better for writing business software than the older, goto using, more imperative style. The rule to make sure you were doing A and not B had lasted well into the discovery of C.
This gave me chills. Whoever made this has a serious capacity for vision. Really well done.

"Given the original screwup (not having a backup plan for when this big new feature was delayed by a year), I think they made the best of a bad situation."

Yes, by greed and arrogance they shot themselves in the foot. But the day after that happened, they had no more opportunities for greed so they dealt with things as well as they could and you can't criticize them for that, now can you?

The scenario of "we'll go from the old thing to the new thing, burn our bridges to the old thing and not have the thing ready" these days in a multitude of industries and isn't something that should be taken as OK by those who caught by it.

>OK, wow - that example kind of perfectly proves my point. If I were to ask ChatGPT an extremely specific, low-level question about an extremely niche topic, then I would absolutely be on "high alert" that it wouldn't know the answer. And while I agree the "confidence" with which ChatGPT asserts its answers (though I'd argue the GPT-4 version does a much better job at not being over-confident than 3.5) is off-putting, I think it's pretty easy to detect where it's wrong.

I don't consider a popular video game from 2009 to be "extremely niche", and I also shouldn't have to know what ChatGPT knows. And no, I don't think it's easy to detect where it's wrong if you don't know the right answer, and it's actually pretty useless when you have to spend time confirming answers.
That's not quite what it says; it says that (unconditionally) it will do nothing without a parent element and (conditionally, depending on the browser) it will throw an exception. The first part is inaccurate, since the standard behavior (which is the current behavior of Gecko and the intended behavior of Blink) is to let it work naturally on children of DocumentFragments. It should probably be updated to clarify this, but I wouldn't see the remark as very "normative" in the first place.
Bangladesh to G-20 – companies profiting from Ukraine war pay poor nations
I've always referred to it as business church.
The farmers are receiving a huge subsidy already: the water. Water being available for irrigation there at all is the result of a massive dam building project specifically for that. The farmers receive the water far far below the cost associated with building the dams, even though the farmers paying for the irrigation water was the justification for building them in the first place.

The farmers can't afford to grow anything at a profit if they pay the full price of the water, and the crops they can grow in these regions aren't really worth anything anyway. The whole thing is an economic and ecological disaster and there's no clean way out. The entire western US political network is build around the interaction of water and agriculture and there is certainly no way out that isn't political suicide.

But hey at least the dams will eventually silt up and stop providing even that use, but stay in place for potentially thousands of years a blight on mountain rivers eventually outlasting probably even the memory of the name of this country.
What is an ethical pricing structure for a marketplace, app, or service?
This project sounds important to a large community of people. Yet it sounds like many of the people mentioned in the article were in some ways outsiders, even within that community.

I don't know whether the reasons are the same, but we used to often see situations like that in open source software, and in computing in general before that.

Honestly, I don't saturate my connection 99% of the time. I could have done that 10/15 years ago when I used to torrent a lot.

The download part is great because now it's faster to buy a game on steam for instance and download it than getting in the car, driving to the closest store to purchase a physical copy and bring it home.

Regarding the upload, I built a small utility that stores the videos from the cameras I have at home to the cloud in a rolling window (I didn't want to pay the service from the cameras provider). So at any time I am uploading something like 7 1080p streams (it's more bursty as I chunk the streams every 10 minutes and upload the resulting files). So, while 1Gb is still an overkill, once you have the bandwidth you find uses for it.
I find articles like this almost impossible to interpret because there's very little definition. It's not only acronym soup; the acronyms themselves are so general that there's not much going on.

In the UK the media often states like "Politician makes anti-X comment". The comment itself isn't published. So you end up just having to take on faith what actually occurred; you're not given the ability to judge whether the comment was hateful and dangerous, whether it was an off-colour joke that went a bit far, or whether it was totally innocuous but the journalists felt that they could spin a story out of it.

Anti-LGBT could mean literally anything in this context. If they're boycotting states with the death penalty for being gay, that's a lot more justifiable than boycotting states that don't allow trans activism in schools.

It's unfathomable to me that 17(?) states are doing anything even remotely close to the former, so what gives?

I can understand why it's not a priority at this point, at least, given that Firefox on iOS is currently a reskin of Safari, and the door is reportedly about to open for actual competition among iOS browsers due to increasing anti-trust pressures on Apple.

It would make more sense to me to address this with a real port of Gecko to iOS, and then you can just run the full version of uBlock Origin for Firefox on your iPhone.

If you mean amd64 it's the 64 bit extension of the x86 instruction set. It's just named after AMD because they were the ones introducing it while Intel was instead working on the arguably failed brand new 64 bit-only Itanium architecture. In the end they "went back" and picked up amd64 too that's why multiple names exist: x64, x86_64, amd64.

Again, that's not how "working memory" works in the research. "Working memory" is considered over a time span of minutes, not fractional seconds.
It makes it so that the actual intellectually interesting analysis of art, when viewed through the lens of an LLM, becomes a cognitively simple to understand puzzle of matching prompts to effects. There's not a lot of interesting conversation to ask about color theory or composition.

The interesting stuff is asking what is an artist trying to convey or explore within the nuances of the medium they are working with: why does neon genesis rebuild movies use live action camera techniques and what does that do to the overall themes of the work? Why does one painting use the texture of the paint instead of the color theory of the paint as a message conveyor? How is the use of reflective or matte surfaces communicating an environment in an installed art piece?

Furthermore, of the very smart people I know, the intellectually stimulating stuff is kind of bizarre, and avenues of finding this stuff or funding this stuff is being drowned out by comparatively understimulating works. Artists usually fund their more unusual pursuits with the commercial work that MidJourney/Stable Diffusion targets.
I don't need my business to grow. I want to support myself and my wife. That's it. You can call that whatever you like, but stagnation isn't it, unless you think that SQLite is stagnant because SQLite had the same business model.

"AI" design will not help until we have a true AI that can reason. (I don't think we ever will.)

Why is reasoning necessary? Because design is about understanding constraints and working within them while still producing a functional thing. A next-word-predictor will never be able to do that.

I question efficacy as a valid measure for something that relies on the patient actually getting off their ass and doing something (as opposed to a pill, which is comparatively passive).

I think the more useful measure is: what results does a patient achieve if they fully apply themselves to a particular methodology. Of course we can also look at: what % of people that are introduced to a particular methodology fully apply themselves, but this measure is inherently secondary to the prior measure.

That's interesting, but it's a weird definition. In the myth of the Minotaur, the labyrinth Theseus is trapped in surely must have branches (or he wouldn't need a ball of thread), so it doesn't fit this definition.

Wikipedia[1] also notes this contradiction:

> Although early Cretan coins occasionally exhibit branching (multicursal) patterns, the single-path (unicursal) seven-course "Classical" design without branching or dead ends became associated with the Labyrinth on coins as early as 430 BC, and similar non-branching patterns became widely used as visual representations of the Labyrinth – even though both logic and literary descriptions make it clear that the Minotaur was trapped in a complex branching maze.

The instruction set architecture (ISA), is open source, which means there is a minimum amount of instructions (think assembly instructions) that people can use to target/implement the functionality of that CPU architecture, similar to x86, x64, ARM or POWER.

The big thing that is different than other "open" ISAs in the past is that there is an open specification / standard that isn't encumbered by restrictive licensing or patents. This allows software (think compilers) and hardware designers to target the ISA without fears of getting sued for using the ISA or having to have restrictive licenses.

It can also be simple to implement, but there are commercial, highly performant cores available too, for example, sifive.

That's just for electricity production. A 40% reduction in the sector where we could do 90-95% leaves no room for sectors where there are fewer opportunities.

40% for electricity means a much lower reduction overall, especially if it informs the efforts we're willing to make.
