Their reasoning is fundamentally flawed.

> The vast majority of marine (and aviation) accidents are a result of operator error, not mechanical failure. As a result, simply focusing on classing the vessel does not address the operational risks.

Aka "classing doesn't mitigate all problems, so we're not going to do it at all"
The acoustic signature predictive of a material compromise or potential
failure may include a large magnitude, high frequency acoustic burst followed by a
sustained interval of acoustic signals of slightly lower magnitude and high frequency,
but still well above a predetermined healthy structure condition.

The patent concedes that a structural failure may be presaged by a "large magnitude ... burst", but does contemplate thst such a burst may be unsurvivable.
It just orders ids based on a monotonic clock that wraps after a certain time -- it's enough to get a lot of of the performance benefit of ordered keys without directly exposing the unix wall clock time they were created (absent a dedicated attacker with the ability to create ids without you picking up on it for a timing attack, I suppose).

Whether that tradeoff makes sense probably depends.
Truly bizarre. Failures like this happen in milliseconds, it doesn't matter how realtime your realtime monitoring is.

I'm not arguing in favor of the classification system, but, I think if you went to them and framed things as simply as they are here "you require validation every 3 years, we're doing it on every single dive" they would say "that's more than once per 3 years, APPROVED!" so the situation is clearly far more complicated than they are indicating.
I wouldn't exactly call Artemis boring, but PHM was much better.
I wonder if Rush had a death wish or other motive for potentially dying while on a dive.

Or this is really an extreme example of past successes fueling further trips. However, it seems like basic knowledge Rush should have known is to inspect the vessel after each dive. Since people have said it’s extremely difficult and expensive to inspect carbon fiber, then maybe Rush/Oceangate couldn’t afford it. Maybe do enough trips until they could afford and build a new vessel. Who knows, but it seems like deeper internal decisions were being made here.
I think the point is that while SpaceX had a lot of explosions, they fundamentally approached rocket development very responsibly as regards to human risk. It's not about observation bias.

Panel cost is probably 10-20% of a total install cost. What you're paying for is labour, inverter, cabling and metal mounting equipment. Mostly labour. If you're able to self install you can shave years off ROI.
I think that you’re on to something. There is a certain angst that it seems like he possessed, not so much as hubris.

If I may adjust my metaphorical armchair and say that I’m patiently waiting for the feature piece on his life to be published in the next few months to a year or so, that will uncover something to the tune of anxiety, self-doubt, estranged familial ties or an addiction to an obscure pharmaceutical commonly used on narcoleptic koala bears.
I think it’s generally accepted that writing code is nearly universally easier than reading code, in any language. That aside, getting a mechanical check on memory safety for the price of some extra language verbosity is obviously worth it IMO.

By the same token, it is common to see criticisms of the complexity of templates in C++, but templates are the cornerstone of “Modern C++” and many libraries could not exist without them.

Or environmentally sustainable?

A solar panel has life-span of 25-30 years, will you be utilizing that? or are you just creating more waste?

If you wanted to protect the environment, it's probably better to find a wind-farm project or solar farm project to invest in.

It's really easy to think that adding solar panels everywhere is a good idea; but you might just be making e-waste.
It is not an energy source.
It is a (battery) energy storage solution that can scale. Meant to support renewables use at night/ low sun/low wind periods.
And not on hourly scale like normal batteries but on year scale on plant level.

Like in an energy plant. That during the day when there Is surpluses they generate iron powder from ironoxide and cheap electricity. And when there is no surplus they burn the iron powder to irononoxid. And they can both be stored at unlimited scale on a heap.

Masochists! In a good way! I recommend you do the full course not jump into that video. I did the full course, paused to do some of a university course around lecture 2 to really understand some stuff then came back and finishing it off.

Bu the end of you would have done stuff like hand working out back-propagation though sums, broadcasting, batchnorm etc. Fairly intense for a regular programmer!
And this makes sense, as some sayings would be unrecognizable word salad in other languages and cultures. Early Arctic birds don't catch many worms.

Do you mean rapid compression (i e. implosion)? The internal pressure in such subs is kept at roughly 1 atmosphere at all depths. The massive pressure difference at depth is why hull integrity is of the utmost importance, if it's compromised, things go south rapidly.
> I'd hope he thought it had less than a 1% failure rate.

I take your meaning, but I'm just laughing at the idea of a 1% failure rate. If airliners had a 1% failure rate, there would be hundreds of thousands of crashes every year. Experimental craft don't need airliner failure rates of course, but 1% still seems too high for anything with human passengers.

It's true - for example, waveform analysis that detected the CEO saying "bringing an outside entity up to speed on every innovation before it is put into real-world testing is anathema to rapid innovation" could have raised warnings as much as four years before the fatal accident.
+1 for Ubiquiti/UniFi Protect. Their cameras are pretty decent are PoE and can be managed by a local (or remote via VPN) NVR but can also operate standalone RSTP (and web app) if you don't want to run them with an NVR. You can access the NVR via an app on your phone if you want to "cloud enable it" (but it's just a relay of some sort at no additional/recurring cost I might add).

I know UBNT have had a few missteps recently, but in general I like their kit and am pretty happy with it.
Intent matters. Sending a malformed request in an attempt to harm could probably be prosecuted.

In much the same way that you usually are not allowed to shoot robbers in the street, people who are doing nefarious things but aren't yet convicted of a crime are not "fair targets". Especially when it comes to the CFAA, I don't think there's a concept of self defense.

Is it a crime? Arguably. Does anyone care? Nah
CPUs that run Linux, Wifi chips supporting recent standards, etc.? Rare.

Intel was relatively open with its documentation (including reference schematics -- I think you can still find the 440BX ones on their site somewhere) until around the end of the P4 era, so that covers "CPUs that run Linux". As for the wireless stuff, I suspect a lot of that has to do with regulatory issues.
The game is much, much different now. If you require matchmaking, its the wrong game.

There is nothing in it that is stopping anybody from choosing the worst and most boring activities, unfortunately.
Found what problem? You realize they literally took this thing to the Titanic and back multiple times?
How would droppingb it to the bottom found the issue? The theory is that each dive reduced the integrity of the ship and eventually it would fail. Could be 10 or it could be 10,000 drops. And that number would be different if you built a second ship. How many tests do you do?
Quite possible! But given how ChatGPT hallucinates, and my general lack of knowledge about LLMs in general and ChatGPT in particular, I would be hesitant to take what it says at face value. I'm especially hesitant to trust anything it says about itself in particular, since much of its specifics are not publicly documented and are essentially unverifiable.

I wish there were some way for it to communicate that certain responses about itself were more or less hardcoded.
I thought it was about the network layer in the OSI model (level 3), so I expected that traceroute schnitzeljagd.dev would be the first step to pass the step but no, nothing.
You don't burn to kill the trees. You burn to clear up the dry, flammable plant material on the ground. If controlled burns are conducted regularly, this fuel does not build up enough to create large fires that kill trees.

Indiamerica: A new alliance is born, but still some challenges to overcome
It's not classed because nobody would have signed off on it with the level of testing they had done. Carbon fibre reinforced polymers don't have a defined fatigue limit, so stress cycle failure can't be ruled out, and it's difficult to estimate how much a design based around that material can endure. To get certified, OceanGate would have had to do destructive endurance testing on a replica hull, but they only proved it could survive a single dive! Their more serious competitors wouldn't dare take that risk.
Yep. This is like saying "who needs building codes because it's more important the owner maintains the roof and paint?"

To have something properly function you need both a solid build and maintenance. Doing one well doesn't absolve you of doing the other.

The satnav in my Volvo is better than my phone, except maybe on forest roads BUT the interface to enter an address is a God-awful mess of about 8 lines of input done one character at a time through a wheel setup. It takes forever to input an address and if that address isn't in the system for some reason you won't know until you've wasted 2 or 3 minutes trying to input it.

There used to be an app that greatly simplified this process. Of course, it cost $20/month. It isn't supported anymore because a 2017 model was built with only 3G and my car can no longer connect to a network in the US.

Aside from the infotainment system, I love this car and will probably drive it until the wheels fall off. It is a Geeley product, so the wheels will fall off at some point unlike the battle tanks of old.
The second most economically viable option is basically going to be hydrogen in some way. Either made from renewables or nuclear power, possible natural sources if they exist in quantity. That is why you hear about it so much.

But this fact causes large scale confusion on all sides. For those invested in the existing system, this is a threat. But for those who think it will be some other kind of green technology, this means admitting they were betting on the wrong horse the whole time.

The first space shuttle launch was crewed. It ended up with a ~2% failure rate. The Titan made about 50 dives. So, from a reliability perspective, on par with the shuttle.

The dead trees left behind are a huge boon for insects and the animals that feed on them. Focusing on extracting resources are missing the point of managing a healthy forest. As many leftovers of burns and logging as possible should stay in the ecosystem.
ISO 9000 + 14000 + 21000 (Quality, Enviro, IS Security) cost a bloody fortune for a small business and they get updated every few years. That lot is nearly compulsory in some markets.

> Say you split the whole loading bar into percentages based on the number of subtasks, suddenly you end up with a progress bar stuck on 89% for 90% of the total loading time.

Sure. But now as a user, I get to see the glimpse of what's going out under the hood. Combined with other information, such as a log of installation steps (if you provide it), or the sounds made by the spinning rust drive, those old-school determinate progress bars were "leaking" huge amount of information, giving users both greater confidence and ability to solve their own problems. In many cases, you could guess the reason why that scrollbar is stuck on 89% indefinitely, just by ear, and then fix it.

Conversely, spinners and indeterminate progress bars deny users agency, and disenfranchise them. And it's just one case of many, which adds up to the sad irony of UI/UX field - it works hard to dumb down or hide everything about how computers work, and justifies it by claiming it's too difficult for people to understand. But how can they understand, how can they build a good mental model of computing, when the software does its best to hide or scramble anything that would reveal how the machine works?
I had the opposite reaction when I was that age, but there really is no comparison between The Hobbit and LOTR. The former is a children's book, the latter just the opposite. That doesn't mean any given reader will like LOTR, of course, or that they're wrongheaded if they don't. But readers who give up on Tolkien just because they disliked The Hobbit may find they've shortchanged themselves.
Yes, because people can't be bothered to change their diets. But it's different now, when there is 8 billions of us. Everything changes.

The oceans are home for up to 80% of all life on Earth.

Today only 3% of Pacific bluefin tuna remain.

Overfishing puts $42 billion tuna industry at risk of collapse.

For the first time, sharks are going extinct because of us.

Species like thresher, bull, and hammerhead sharks have lost up to 80-99% of their populations in the last two decades.

Seabird populations have declined by 70% since the 1950s.

Sharks kill 10 people per year. Comparatively, people kill 11,000-30,000 sharks are killed per hour.

Approx. 50 million sharks are killed every year as bycatch.

Studies estimate that up to 40% of all marine life caught is thrown overboard as bycatch.

An Iceland fishery in one month killed approx. 269 harbor porpoises, 900 seals of four different species, and 5000 seabirds.

The Iceland fishery was awarded the blue tick by the MSC.

There are 4,600,000 commercial fishing vessels in the world.

10,000+ dolphins are killed as bycatch off the coast of France every year.

Over 300,000 whales, dolphins, and porpoises are killed as bycatch every year.

46% of the Pacific garbage patch is fishing nets.

There is enough long line set every day to wrap around the planet 500x.

Six out of seven species of sea turtles are either threatened or endangered due to fishing.

The fishing industry kills more animals in a day than the Deepwater Horizon oil spill did in months.

Fishing has become a major threat to coral reefs from the Middle East to the Caribbean, where 90% of large fish have disappeared.

In the 1830s, a typical fishing boat caught 1-2 tons of halibut per day, but today the entire fishing fleet catches 1-2 tons across the entire year.

2.7 trillion fish are caught every year, or up to 5 million caught every minute.

Fish populations are in decline to near extinction.

Virtually empty oceans by 2048.

We don't need seasonal storage. The sun still shines in the winter, unless you're in the Arctic circle. We can use over building, production diversity, interconnection and short term storage instead. Or just use natgas peakers for the last 1% and call a 99% solution good enough.

If we had reasonably priced seasonal storage we'd use it, but we don't need it.
No, not exactly. There is a trade off between both sides, and the fact that the pollution factor is far too strong to the "no pollution side at all" currently, which leads to "violent uncontrolled deadly pollution".

There are some places where it will be unlikely that we can do controlled burns, pollution only being one of the factors. We should try to burn as much around those areas to reduce the likelihood a fire spreads to that area. But note, those controlled burns will create their own pollution.

We (humans) moved in to fire country, now we need to learn how to live with those poor choices.

What they knew was that it was easier to hunt and forage in forests after fire had removed the underbrush. They knew that they would be back next year chasing dear, so they decided to light a fire on the way out to make it easier. No advanced knowledge needed.

Users won't touch it directly, but I deem it a given that Chrome and its derivatives upload crash logs to the mothership by default, and IIRC Firefox also offers that as an opt-in.
