I think there’s a kernel of truth in this post, it does make the correct observation that 2 weeks is not always the correct time. I think it’s deeper than that, there are multiple correct times that are incompatible with each other.

This is because there are multiple ways you are integrated into the company and the correct wind-down period for each is different. A few months to find and train a replacement, a few weeks to document all your organizational knowledge, a few days to say goodbye to your colleagues - and for companies with valuable secrets it’s obviously desirable that your access to their information is revoked instantaneously.

Ultimately, for a senior software engineer, quitting is just complicated. I think if you want to try a variable-length notice of resignation you need to find someone in the chain of command you trust to be level-headed and pragmatic, approach them with your thoughts of leaving, and (matching their level-headedness and pragmatism) discuss how to make your departure as successful and effective for the company as possible - maybe you start documenting knowledge now, wind down day-to-day fire-fighting responsibilities a week from now, and formally announce your two weeks notice a week after that.

But you have to go into that discussion prepared to roll with the decisions they make, all the way from “immediate dismissal and escort from the building” to “they do not want you to quit and try to offer you more money or different responsibilities”. If that gives you trepidation, maybe it’s better to stick to the business standard of two weeks notice. It’s not optimal, but it is well-trodden ground.
you sound too pessimistic

even if programming is gone in 20-30 years, you have plenty of time (and energy) to make your daily move to "what is needed".
i think there is some context here that pypi had some blowback 9 months ago on their vetting process: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32037562 so in a sense this is a less arbitrary version of that trusted publisher process.

Very common. Much easier and less dangerous to snatch it when someone has it out quickly than to hold someone up.
This gets me thinking of a fun "PvP" version of this, where people make screenshots that have to (say) get something like a 10% correct rate or the like. The ultimate screenshot that gives away _just enough_ to where people who have the tiles burned in their mind will identify the game, but that isn't actually impossible.
Japan has vehicle weight taxes. The US has the inverse (trucks and SUV have laxer fuel economy standards)
My comment says "can't be 100% child proof". But you proceeded as if my comment implied child safety is an unreasonable thing to ask about (literally in those words). That's either a bit of extremism or a strawman argument. I was being charitable in that you wouldn't make a bad faith argument and attributed it to a more ideological source.

And I think you misunderstood, I don't think your domain is AI since you're saying "solve health and safety risks". People in AI tend to state that problem a lot more concretely than shocking article headlines and tend to use more nuanced language than "solve" since alignment is a complex topic.

It's just you're starting your comment by positing that your position is in line with that position of those of Google's experts, and I'm saying that's a great example of zooming in on your domain rather than the larger picture.

After all, the only way to claim that a warning that kids should be supervised "does not actually mitigate the ethical concerns" is either a refusal to look at the larger picture, or a misunderstanding of what mitigate means?

A refugee can pay literally 200 EUR and fly to US from Warsaw. I assure you many paid up to two orders of magnitude more just to flee the county.

It’s about the local laws put in place. The EU takes refugees with almost no preconditions. Maybe that’s why the EU leaders try to come up with a peace plan once in a while, unlike UK or US.

Right, I believe GP's point is that for a given capacity, you now need fewer kilograms of batteries to store it, meaning the percentage of overall capacity used to accelerate the mass of the battery itself goes down.
> Why does 500wh/kg make electric aircraft possible? 6x less than kerosene

Where did you read that kerosene is at 3000Wh/kg? My googling says 12,000Wh/kg

The tweet thread from TFA and its replies just says that for aircraft, weight impact is important. See https://twitter.com/__bdimitrov__/status/1298753593638440960:

"260 to 400 Wh/kg should lengthen flight time by 90.8% --- assuming that 100% of the drone weight is from the battery."

But going from 400 to 500 Wh/kg adds another 39% on top of that, so 2.6x longer total
and then in Germany right wing/neoliberal politicians run around, make smug faces and tell people: ooooh, we need e-fuels because those combustion engines, they are sooooo good, the chinese are envious and will just copy (yes. for tanks...).

During their reign:

- solar industry: gone (in the 2000s germany had everything, domestically produced)

- wind energy: gone (well, Siemens did it themselves too)

- existing domestic electronics production: gone (Siemens had highly automated facilities producing state of the art mainboards...)

- in the pandemic masks were bought in China for billions. All the while the automation companies newly taken over by their Chinese joint venture partner were happy to show people how they built those in their chinese factories...

They call it responsible, I call it Seppuku...

Oh and of course they now want to build nuclear plants after they've shown for the last 30years that we have reached a state of more dysfunctional oligarchy than the Soviet Union ever was (they changed their system! Here the mantra is "There Is No Alternative"). I congratulate the chinese oligarchy for somehow keeping an interest in the physical world and fleecing two continents of 1200 million people for all they built and some more while their people are infighting on idiotic frontlines.
It's not the field they are lobbying in that matters, it's exactly what and who they are lobbying for. If you can't come up with theoretical scenarios in your head in which a gun lobbyist can do go good and a renewable energy lobbyist can do harm than you can't judge things beyond their name.

I'm lobbying for women rights. That is undeniably good. The exact details: their right to come serve as my sexual slaves. But don't mind the details, focus on "women rights", that's what matters.
I mean, it clearly can be, since AWD (and RWD, for that matter) minivans do exist. It's just less common for minivans than it is for SUVs, likely for the reason you mention.
Instead of marketing, you need lobbyists and legal experts.

Microsoft is a multibillion profitable public company and they managed to extend the search in no time. Google is not as effective as it could be. They have great engineering and they proved that many times, but something is not working on the product design side.
Anecdotally, my latest COVID (acute only, I didn’t get the director’s cut) manifested itself as two days’ worth of strong pain in what seemed to be my legs’ muscle tissue, which I believe is connected to high lactate (why limbs hurt after heavy exercise).

This symptom never accompanied a flu IIRC, though I recall it happening in the past after alcohol intake.
Google controls 90% of the browser market, and 70% of the mobile OS market. They can force anything they want down the throats of billions of people, the vast majority of which aren't even aware that there are alternatives. And even those that are aware are in many cases unable to switch, as for example most phones will only run their manufacturer's version of Android, from which Google features usually cannot be completely removed.

This isn't even remotely comparable to the AltaVista situation. Google has a planet-scale stranglehold on how half the world's population accesses information. This arguably makes Google more powerful than most nation states. I can guarantee they won't be dislodged by some search startup with a cool idea.
Now contemplate that your brain that is being blown away is also just electrons and atoms.
And despite the easy testing I suspect you have not had any major traffic incidents.

That seems to be the way it goes in the US.

Running stop signs is not a sign of a bad driver, most stop signs in the US are not necessary (and really should be yield signs, except that's not legal to do that for no good reason).
The article mentions aircraft multiple times. Once a range is achieved through available energy, reducing weight is a goal. The energy is more useful the less weight you need to move as then you can shave off a bit more weight as less energy was needed.

Your car may not need this as much, an aircraft does.

What’s the problem you’re trying to solve?
In my experience regular Ubuntu releases are still more tested and polished than Fedora or any Arch derivative. So it’s generally safer to use if you want to drive more fresh versions of kernel and graphics stack. They’re not perfect though, some of them were pretty horrible over the years, like 11.04. The current 23.04 has also several gnome and mutter related bugs that are not critical, but annoying.
CSS is largely ignored by readers with few exceptions (`transform` is ignored, `display: none` excludes the text).

You can definitely make this accessible but that alone is a whole exercise. The best bet would be to use MathML-in-HTML and hope that the reader supports it.

Let's consider Cessna-172S ([4]). Its characteristics:

- 130 kW engine, Lycoming_O-360 that weighs 117 kg. For comparison, an electric motor of this range would weigh 11-13 kg (at 10-12 kW/kg, [2]). That saves 100+ kg weight immediately and we can put 50+ kWh batteries instead.

- It carries up to 200 liters of kerosene ([3]), which weighs 164 kg. We can place 82 kWh of batteries instead.

- The engine consumes around 30 liters/hour ([1]), which gives us ~6.7 hours of flight time or the equivalent of 6.7*130=871 kWh for an electric-power plane.

- The fuel tank weighs about ~14 kg (source: an LLM, sorry) and gives us another 7 kWh.

So, we can put 50+82+7=139 kWh. By using modern materials, we can probably increase it to ~180 kWh, which will give us about 1.5 hours of flight time / 300 km range. This is much less than 6.7 hours, but quite practical for recreation and short flights. And it would be much cheaper to run too.

That said, still not practical for medium and long flights.

It's actually not terribly difficult, even without JavaScript if you use the new scroll-linked CSS animations and a fake/hidden scrollable area (but without JS, the rotation would be limited to the scroll area itself)
Yes 100%.

Get a ublox F9P board and antenna. Couple hundred dollars.

Set it up to do RTK using public CORS base stations (will give you 2cm apx accuracy). You will get a kick out of it.

Then next level is grab the latest rtklib, and do PPP processing.

The RTK step is simple and will boost your motivation to learn more. PPP is also easy to setup, but there are many things you can take to make it more accurate. Each one you will learn about something new. Satellite clock corrections, position corrections, ionosphere and troposphere modelling, receiver dynamics, tidal loading, wind up, etc. List goes on a lot

Once you've done that you'll have a 'feel' for it. From there you'll find your own resources based on what most interests you

Creating a cleaner world is more expensive than pretending to clean the world by using loopholes such as “offsetting” carbon (which doesn’t actually mean anything in practical terms).

My point is this: if a business is going to invest substantial sums on what is effectively legalised bribery, then you can bet their motives are not for the betterment of humanity.

This “capitalism at all costs” approach is what got us into our current state. What we really need is governments to step up and impose sensible regulations without having businesses whispering in their ear. Which I know is an unpopular opinion to voice among the libertarians on here but we’re all entitled to our own opinion.
having worked at a lot of these companies including google itself. most of the employees are complete whiners and complainers that will block everything.

Yep. Also... kerosene gets spent. Pilots can also dump fuel in emergency when it's too heavy to land. Battery powered planes can't dump electricity, so I'd imagine some trade offs that have to be made.
That's probably the best time to steal it: the device is unlocked, giving access to the data and settings etc. Also the owner is distracted looking at the screen, and it's held in a position conducive to snatching. In short I'd expect this to be the main mode of phone theft directly from the owner.

What is the licensing situation with eBPF now?

Last time I looked (a long long time ago), BPF was ok, because of the "B", but eBPF was linux-only in such a way that loading eBPF program into kernel made your userspace program a derived work of linux kernel and forced GPL-2 on the userspace.

Has this changed? Is there a good writeup about eBPF wrt licensing?

edit: quoting current manpage on struct bpf_attr member "license":

license is a license string, which must be GPL compatible to call helper functions marked gpl_only. (The licensing rules are the same as for kernel modules, so that
also dual licenses, such as "Dual BSD/GPL", may be used.)

So what is gpl_only now? Used to be the whole of eBPF.

One workaround would be to store the license/registration tokens in multisig wallets, requiring both the licensee and the DMV to approve of transfers (or add a third signer and go with two of three). A fair bit more centralized than what's ideal, but the very concept of a state-issued license or registration is already implicitly centralized anyway.
I’ve also found that many rural mechanics (try the tractor/large truck guys if the car mechanic is skittish) are perfectly willing to work on them for time+materials; they want to know that you know it may take more time and cost more. Once past that they’re quite capable.

So if you can source the parts for them, and be willing to have it take some time; you’ll find help.
Something I’m not seeing mentioned here: I read somewhere (though i can’t find it) that we don’t have small trucks in the US because fuel economy standards are based on wheelbase.

That’s why you can’t take an F-150 and put it on a smaller frame and sell it in the US. But many of us want one!

I’d love a half-ton truck the size of a 80s Tacoma…

I could use some help fact-checking though. I was digging around for primary sources but it’s tough reading…

I would say quite well! I'm currently spending 1-2 hours with Langchain and trying different approaches. I'm using a RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter with 1000 word chunks and 200 overlap, which may not be the best way of doing things, but for my purposes it works. I'm still struggling with videos, but I would say I am trying to get the data very clean, doing my own transcripts and removing pauses. I'm now also creating agents, which use the various vector archives to cross reference data between each other. I'm not really sure where I am going with this all, but it is a lot of fun.
I mean everyday vision input, which generalises to novel scenarios because driving happens in the same world with the same rules of physics and optics. Shadow and light, depth and movement perception, etc… can all be reused.

This is like how LLMs are difficult to train to the point that they understand English, but then relatively easy to specialise.

Similarly, students don’t start their education at University, they spend nearly two decades getting to that point by learning the prerequisites.

> Similarly, it doesn't have a theory of mind. If it did, it would also have agency

These are unrelated concepts. There is evidence that GPT 4 has a rudimentary model of mind but it isn’t conscious itself and is a static model with zero agency over the world.

Hmm, I don't know about that. The data rate used by civilian GPS (L1 C/A) is only 50 bps. The symbols are normally spread over a couple MHz of bandwidth to make it possible to recover at levels below the thermal noise floor. I see no reason why the same thing couldn't be done at baseband, adding an imperceptible bit of extra noise to an audio signal.

Of course, you wouldn't encode real-time navigation data, but a small block of identifying text. Either way, though, someone without a copy of the spreading code isn't going to notice it or decode it. Given enough redundancy in both the time and frequency domains, removing it wouldn't be easy either.
