> says I have "overly-considerate disorder" and I need to make our safety #1 and stop caring about other people so damn much

I can't speak about your (w|l)ife, but in my (w|l)ife, people who say this are the people who personally enjoy taking advantage of my nature, and my "overly considerate behavior" is only pointed out when someone else seems to be getting benefit at the expense of my (w|l)ife; i.e it's a statement of selfishness.
This explains the “one button” and hokey controls. Only dropping ballast to surface is life-critical.
> What was AA supposed to do aside from refusing to open the door to let ground crew outside?

Sure, that's a pretty reasonable option. Have someone be on door duty, and they keep it locked until the plane is shut off. Better yet would be some kind of interlock where the doors automatically lock while the turbines are running, but hardware changes are hard to make in aviation. Maybe give the pilot the responsibility to unlock those doors somehow as part of the offboarding procedures.

> She got TWO briefings not to approach the plane.

Sure, and yet we still put railings around high ledges although it would be obvious even without them that falling off would be bad. Circular saws come with guards on them, even though it's self-evident that the blade is the dangerous bit. Those robots that assemble cars in factories have a big cage around them.

I don't think it's unreasonable to say that a device that can suck someone in and blend them from a substantial distance probably needs better safety guards than a lecture and a light bulb.

People come to work tired, or with allergies, or sick, or hungover, or just out of it because personal issues and they forget to check that lightbulb that's always off by the time they get there anyways.
Or why not use Flutter? You can integrate with Rust as FFI via flutter_rust_bridge. That's what I do as Flutter is pretty cross platform yet much leaner than even using a browser engine.
I have no idea about bitcoin’s demise, but I don’t understand how anyone can call it a store of value with a straight face.

Or do they mean conceptually it is, even if it’s a terribly volatile one?
> I don’t think it’s fair to say that have “missed some deadlines” and generalize to this, when they’ve been a major contributor to bringing electric vehicles to the masses.

It's absolutely fair. These are separate statements, and they're both true. Tesla has missed "some" (only some?) deadlines. And they've also brought EVs to the public. It's completely fair to say these because they're true.
>Everyone involved knew what they were getting into.

Not necessarily. For extreme sports like skydiving, bungee jumping, hang-gliding scuba and the like customers still expect a high level of adherence to safety and quality products and certifications exist. Would you want to parachute off an uncertified plane with an un-licensed pilot and inexperienced jumper?
It's something that can be quickly swapped out if it does fail though being a wired controller, I'd put decent odds on this company not bothering to put a backup controller in their death tube. Also a periscope is less critical to combat in the age of sonar that can tell you bearing, heading and what type of ship often without the risk of surfacing and getting lit up on radar. Modern subs basically never want to surface in combat there's no need to take the added risk.
That's what a backline is for! Don't love playing a different kit than my own but sure beats having to bring everything.
For me the existence of LLMs means I can avoid the boring parts, so I'm more happy and confident to start side projects :)

You are totally wrong. Google had everything to gain by capturing the developer funnel from GH into GCP. It has nothing to do with 200M revenue. It has to do with mindshare about which cloud platform you are using.

They should have given CI/CD away, every commit a build and test run, just like Google internal. Start layering extra services, at zero cost.

It would have been half a percent of load compared to actual workloads running on GCP.
User scaling seems easy enough.

Its "community" (on Lemmy), or "magazine" (on kbin) scaling that seems hard.

But since each server has a local-copy of the community that its serving out, maybe the hardest part has already been solved by the Federation model. Each federated-instance is effectively a proxy / front-end for the users on that instance.

---------

I guess Mastodon is way larger than Lemmy though and they haven't had issues yet.
Unfortunately, that's wishful thinking. It just doesn't work that way under any kind of profit motive.

Take a look at the third diagram in this paper titled "Risk Management in a Dynamic Society": http://sunnyday.mit.edu/16.863/rasmussen-safetyscience.pdf

Essentially, the "gradient descent" of business interests will invariably push safety design right to the edge that is deemed acceptable. Not to some "safe region" with decent wiggle room! The very edge.

This is why the "minimum amount of concrete" will eventually be the minimum amount of concrete, and catastrophic failures will occasionally occur, even in foreseeable circumstances.
Gold has intrinsic value as a commodity though. It's scarce, has industrial uses, and has aesthetic value to a lot of people. Bitcoin doesn't have that. Bitcoin has value entirely because people think it has value. As an inflation hedge it fuckin sucks because it follows the market. When the fed increased rates, bitcoin crashed. As a store of value, it's too volatile to really work well for that and small mistakes can leave you with nothing. As a currency, the transactions per second is way way too low to be useful.

I think reliability is a lot more important than speed. I understand the benefits of the SuperChargers. But I was responding to a comment that said this:

> But will the CCS be as fast at charging ?

Of all the problems with CCS, speed isn't really one of them.
I call this issue "Tower Jumpers" versus "Arm Whirlers". I'm taking the names from Inventing Flight by John D. Anderson, Jr. The book is mostly about the Wright brothers. It starts with a discussion of the early history, with brave men inventing wings, strapping them on, and jumping out of towers. Jumping to their deaths. Others were more cautious and built gadgets to help them understand wings and lift. Wind tunnels were invented late. Before wind tunnels they used the whirling arm apparatus.

A theme of the book is that outsiders were taken by surprise by the success of the Wright brothers. Outsiders only got to hear of the passion and tragedy of the Tower Jumpers, who were making no progress. Only insiders knew of the Arm Whirlers with their gradual accumulation of knowledge and slow progress.

The distinction helps us understand "skin in the game". If you can distinguish between Tower Jumpers and Arm Whirlers, employ only Arm Whirlers. Insisting that they have "skin in the game" will ensure proper caution. If you cannot tell which is which, insisting on "skin in the game" will have an uneven record, with the Tower Jumpers ruining your safety record and their own skin.

The trickiest question is: how much skin in the game? Insist on too much and the Arm Whirlers will stay away; they were the risk averse ones. Then you only have Tower Jumpers and insisting on "skin in the game" will help you not at all.
Curious: what exactly are the mechanics of this seeming dire prediction?

Is it being implied, or threatened, that forthcoming actions will lead to the insolvency (and resultant loss of customer funds) of the worlds major crypto 'exchanges' ? Again, by what particular mechanism(s) is this to occur ?

I don't outright disbelieve it, but nor is this the first rodeo we've seen.

USD holds value because the government says it does. The government holds authority because they have a monopoly on violence. Or, if your less pessimistic, it's because people believe in the government.

My understanding is that these aren't like the overtaking lanes we have in Australia (where what was a 2 lane road becomes 3 lane with one additional lane for a period of time).

I think they are more like what we'd refer to as truck stops - an area off the road where you can pull over to stop.

I'd note this quote:

> Second, often times (in the USA at least), these pull-outs have rough terrain going in an and out of them. There will be a little bump or uneven ground that most vehicles wouldn't mind hitting every now and then, but in my rig, that causes the whole thing to sway back and forth ...

> Pulling into the pull-out, coming to a complete stop, waiting for everyone to pass..

These aren't things that happen with overtaking lanes.

Still an interesting read.
ehm, I feel violated. I wonder how many share this plight..

that deep sleep you described is something else... it's what I call my petit mort (and yes, that's an intentional misnomer).
My guess is they didn't sent it down 1000 times under robotic controland then tear it all down and look for damage, stress fractures, or to estimate lifetime. I mean why in the hell weren't there multiple and redundant, independently powered, sonar locators for example? You would be truly amazed how far sound can travel in water.
That error message and associated scripts have nothing to do with displaying items or sorting them. It is pretty clearly at first glance some JS used to track and provide analytics.
It's a good article for people with no strong background in NLP or LLMs. Gives a comprehensive overview on how this could be applicable for startups.

Enterprise, not so quite, there are a lot of other stuff to consider like points missing, ethical application, filtering, security, points that are very important for enterprise customers.

Also, in-context learning is just one way to apply LLMs, there are way more applications like few short learning, fine tuning, depending on cost and application involved as I've highlighted here

I run such a Mastodon instance. Go build your own and compete with me for users if you think there’s a demand for it.
It’s not a conspiracy. It’s just economics. There is no money in it so there is no funding available for it. Things like Librem are practically basement operations compared to Apple, Samsung, and Google.

Mobile software is far harder and more costly to produce than desktop because the small form factor and rapid casual use cases mean there can be zero tolerance for bad UX. The amount of effort that goes into just getting things like touch keyboard and touch gestures just right is monumental. The tolerances are very tight.

PCs with big screens and keyboards can support I/O paradigms that are much less demanding of perfection or require much less polish to make usable. A PC can just put some buttons on the screen or use a command line and that works fine. A phone UI needs obsession.
Show HN: A library for `exec`ing Python code safely using WASM
Inspired by Simon Willison's blog post that was catalyzed by this HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34598024

wasm_exec is a Wasm-powered, sandboxed implementation of exec() for safely running dynamic Python code

There are number of use-cases emerging that require arbitrary code execution, often code that is generated by LLMs (Large Language Models) like ChatGPT. This can enable some really cool functionality - like generative BI or website generation - but also introduce a massive security flaw if implemented via eval() or exec(). This is because arbitrary code can be executed using these methods. In a worst case scenario, exec'ing arbitrary code could enable some to rm -rf / your entire server!

This library intends to provide a secure method of executing arbitrary Python code to empower LLM-based code generation. This was originally intended to be a direct PR to Langchain but given that the problems with exec() extend to the entire Python ecosystem, it was decided that it would be better as a standalone package.

Given the love for Wasm on HN, I thought some folks might be interested,and I'd love additional feedback or contributions to the code base.
Journalists both have an incentive to generate a story, and potentially harm a competitor in the ad selling space. So they find as controversial of a video they can find (possibly with really low view counts), start a screen recorder, then hit refresh until a major brand's ad shows up before the video. Now they can run a headline like "Nike financially supports pro-genocide content on YouTube".

It's not an entirely unfair thing either. That is something that is happening, just in miniscule amounts. So YouTube introduced brand safety options which predict how safe a video is and avoids such potential headlines.

However since it's just an algorithm, it doesn't understand nuance. So now creators who are making educational content about tough subjects earn less money because they are bucketed as unsafe. Since unsafe content has less advertising biders, it earns less money.
> Does every week have a "big deadline" ?

Once my employer implemented Agile/Scrum, "big deadlines" seemed to occur much more frequently -- seemingly in two week intervals when sprints would end.

Now, I know many are foaming at the keyboard getting ready to state how my employer is not doing Agile/Scrum correctly. Those individuals are probably be correct, but that does not change my experiences nor many others' experiences.

I am not trying to shit on Agile either. I just noticed a strong change from how we did things pre-Agile and post-Agile. Every sprint is a new deadline. The overall quality of my work has suffered as a result too.
What was interesting about cryptocurrency was the idea of holding your own private keys and conducting transactions directly on the blockchain. In that scenario, everyone is their own “exchange” (kinda) and the SEC might let it roll. Cryptocurrency exchanges really have almost nothing to do with actual cryptocurrency. They just use the terminology (and the hype) as levers to try and build an unregulated exchange. Centralized exchanges are regulated - so here comes that process.
Andrew misunderstands the purpose of including CloudFlare in the cert. He thinks its to easily identify the CA. The ICA is not used that way. In this case, Cloudflare is the one managing all of the certificates issued off this change. If you have an issue with the certs, you know Cloudflare is the one managing it.
He says “its completely useless for human consumption”, but that’s just more of the same misunderstanding. Afterall, would you rather know that all the sites are being operated by Cloudflare or know that DigiCert issued the cert? The average person doesn’t care who issued the cert – they care about who is managing the certs.

The name of the root is to indicate ubiquity, not to provide identification of the CA who is operating it. If you need to know whether a cert will work on an older platform, you look at the name of the cert embedded, not the serial number. Its faster and easier to do so. You also want to know when things will expire and when you might need to migrate CAs. That’s best done with the name of the root. Plus – this is how browsers track which roots are trusted. Browsers could tie to the serial number, but they use the subject info of the cert for identification purposes on what roots are included and what roots are audited.

In summary, he has misguided notion about why these values are in the certs and the value they provide. He sees no value in them because he assumes people will be looking at the ICA and root purely to contact the CA, when that is rarely the case. I dont think there is a security or real issue with the information.
ProPublica Misleads Its Readers
My grandfather joined the Navy at 17 in 1943 and never spoke about it. I assumed when he was alive he didn't do much in the war but in researching his ship it was the complete opposite.

The Battle of Leyte Gulf was the biggest naval battle in history. If he was in the pacific I am sure he seen some crazy things.
You’d expect companies that sell these kinds of tours for 250k a pop to be vetted though?

If it’s uncle bob in his garage I’d be fine with lack of regulation, but when he starts commercially selling his trips he’d need to pass safety standards.
Yeah sometimes detuning one tension rod makes for a cool sound. My rough tuning pass is to crank the snare and tighten everything else until it just starts to resonate. Fine adjustments from there.
Having to "plan liberally" is something that makes EVs much less usable on long trips. When road tripping, its fastest to arrive at a charger with a very low state of charge (way less than a 50mi buffer). When I road trip my Model X, I trust that the supercharger will work, and I target arrival at a 3-5% state of charge. This allows me to charge at the fastest part of the charging curve, and to depart when the charge rate starts to drop off.

I have road tripped well over 10k miles in my Telsa over the last 5 years, and I've never seen an entire supercharger site offline (like happens with EA). I'm sure it must happen after natural disasters when grid power is cut, but its not the normal state of operations like it is with EA.
Careful mentioning any actual economic theory here lol.
"If revenues are falling" is a big if. I've seen no real evidence that'd happening, and rather the reverse seems to be occurring: record corporate profits.

Now, granted, tech is an outlier in that a lot of companies ballooned up during the pandemic and are now undoing that mistake, and so your explanation makes sense in that industry, but the push for RTO is happening outside tech as well.
The naysayers are jaded folks who have watched two generations trade all privacy, freedom, honesty, transparency, openness, and even ownership of their own data for convenience.

Judging by consumer behavior it appears that ease of use is more important than virtually any other concern.

People who really care about things like privacy and freedom are too few in number to tilt the market, and this is compounded by the fact that as a rule FOSS people don’t pay for things. So the market here is a small number of cheapskates.
Presumably you have been saying this for a while and been wrong so far. At what point would you change your mind?
There’s a difference between Jacques Cousteau building a janky submarine rig for himself vs. Creating a business model of selling tickets to random strangers on that janky submarine.
>but you can't do that when you are underwater at 4000m below the sea level.

True, but doesn’t that apply to most if not all parts in the submarine? In fact, you can easily pack like 10 of these joysticks in the submarine inventory.

But yeah I agree, I don’t think it’s been a controller issue.

Edit:
Unless it was “lost” on purpose, it’s probably the crew doesn’t want to be found in the mean time, and having a billionaire on board also make things more interesting, maybe they are after some treasure hunting stuff.

So basically like when a Russia technician installed a sensor upside-down destroying an entire $200 million Proton-M spacecraft https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLnNc_0TnXA

My complaint is people blocking an empty lane for 1/2 mile to prevent zipper merging.
In general yes, but with the difference that the dollar (or other "real" currencies) are encoded in law to have a value with the whole state backing it.
I don't get how that would work given that best by dates are basically random.

Yes! Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. I meant that they use the devices because they are compliant and certified for carbon composites. I just wasn't sure since the devices are usually not for a single purpose so it's hard to keep track of all certified use cases from my PoV.

But sometimes they are! We have a few scanners specifically for pipelines and even robots for wind blades, yet even then the probe usually uses the same detection technology (ultrasounds, eddy currents, etc). The magic happens on the signal processing side when it comes to the difference between the scanners, and the trend is towards multipurpose all in ones. Our most recent industrial scanner has an FPGA that is explicitly there to allow for extensibility so that it fits most applications. FPGAs have been used quite often in the field but usually merely to implement some specific signal processing, not to be extensible!

I'm rambling here but my point is that some devices can be used for pretty much any application (the Omniscan for example), process specific devices are more for large scale industrial workflows! The probes can be the only thing you need to change to use the same scanner to do stuff as varied as hydrogen poisoning analysis on steel to composite flaw detection on windblades!

Here is an example, again with the Omniscan :

They probably aren't allowed to put this in the water of any country that has watercraft rules. The reporter from CBS reads the form he had to sign, at 2:40 in this video: https://youtu.be/29co_Hksk6o

It says something like "this experimental craft has not been certified by any regulatory body". They probably have to be in international waters to put it in water.
I find it funny that the guy wrote a long, seemingly thoughtful post. Then, he responds to all the top replies with memes and maybe a phrase. The pro-crypto people there also seem to be talking past his statement, trying to convince him of the utility of crypto rather than the SEC's justification for regulation.
This is the topic of the post if you keep reading :)
what are the bullet-point issues?
That doesn’t meet the Avalanche Effect requirements. The requirement is that 50% of the bits change independently (on average) whenever an input bit changes. In other words, the output bit values need to be both random and uniformly distributed relative to every input bit.

I’ve seen those in other airports. Pretty sure Narita had them back in early 2019.
> None of us would have designed a better submarine

I dunno. I would never go with wireless over cabled, certainly not as my primary steering method, and it sure as hell wouldn’t be the only method onboard to control the thing.

Maybe it’s better if these things are build by paranoid instead of adventurous people?
