Why is it more likely that an image can store more information than just encoding the information directly in some format like binary? You have the added overhead of the actual image itself, now you have to transmit compress(bits(image) + bits(message)) when you could just do compress(bits(message)).
There's an identity where nominal GDP = real GDP * GDP deflator%, where the GDP deflator is a measure of inflation that also includes exports.

The calculation I described is basically just computing the components of GDP through the income approach, GDP = wages + rent + interest + net imports + taxes + profits. Then you do this for both nominal and real GDP. The ratio between them is inflation within each factor of production. A weighted sum of these individual inflation rates should give back the overall GDP deflator; comparing the contribution of an individual factor of production's term vs. the overall inflation number gives the percentage of inflation due to a particular factor of production.

Values are just facts about an agent's preferences, which are often revealed through the agent's actions.

If it's true that "Chocolate ice cream is my favorite dessert", then that will be revealed in my preferences, when I always choose it over other desserts. As far as we know, the encoding for that preference exists somewhere in the brain, and we could predict a human's preferences, with sufficient brain-scanning technology.

I could be wrong about chocolate ice cream being my favorite dessert, maybe my brain is wired so that chocolate cake is the best dessert, but I've never had chocolate cake, and so I am left in ignorance of this fact. Humans can be wrong about their own preferences.

Asking "is chocolate cake the best dessert?", is a bit like saying "how far away is Mars". You could assume that the correctness of the preference lies within a particular human's neurology--yours or mine. You could also assume that the distance to Mars is relative to a particular point--Earth for example. But in both cases that would just be presumptuous. Both questions are under-specified; it's just a quirk of language that we can express them.

This argument for the quality of American made parts is easily refuted by the endurance of European and Japanese tech that still function today, particularly cars and electronics. My home still has a JVC TV and a National steam iron from the 60s

It's not a bug. Boeing deliberately chose to mislead the airlines and pilots on what they were doing and used software to hide the fact. On top of that there was no redundancy for the single indicator which triggers the nose down/pitch down. The software issues is downstream of the managerial malfeasance.

The coded messages were usually sent over the radio via straight key Morse code.

Once you have a few months experience in Morse code you are able recognize who is "talking" by the way they operate the key. The radiomen would know pretty quick if some new guy came started sending them bogus messages.
And that these building codes are actually expensive things, and that some - but probably not all - are worth it to the homebuyers.

Smoke from Canadian wildfires is leading to poor air quality and health concerns in the Great Lakes region, along with central and eastern parts of the United States. Record air quality alerts have been issued in Minnesota and Michigan, and the air quality in Chicago has been categorized as “unhealthy” by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Authorities are advising young people, older adults, and residents with health conditions to spend more time indoors. The fine particles in wildfire smoke can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat, and affect the heart and lungs, making it harder to breathe.
It was a regulatory bottleneck prompting an inefficient design that required a software fix to fly, which relied mortally on the inputs from a sensor that was optionally non-redundant outside the United States.
Orthogonal Representations in NLP
Let's say I have a word I want to retrieve the "sentiment", say "cow." A cow is an animal.

Obviously in a given model (i.e. word2vec) the representation of animal and cow will be correlated. I was wondering, how can I extract the orthogonal component of the word "cow" that is not driven by "animal" and capture its sentiment?
Matt Levine covers Wall Street, which is full of people who take recreational drugs like cocaine that don’t have even a plausible performance-boosting argument. I’ve never taken drugs (unless you consider theobromine from chocolate to be one), but Steve Jobs attributed his insights to having done LSD, so I wouldn’t dismiss the theory out of hand. Then again he also believed herbal rinses would cure his cancer, so YMMV.
People can add value to the system through their actions. This goes back to one of the reasons for the private property, market-based economic systems - the idea of improvements, of non-zero-sum benefits. The cliche of making the pie bigger instead of just fighting over the size of our individual slices.

Many paths more commonly taken by the less fortunate are themselves net negative to society as a whole. Like crime or drug addiction/disease that socialized programs end up paying for.

So if we could be effective in redirecting people from those paths to healthily contributing ones instead, we could get to positive-sum. I'm already paying a lot of money for "today's result" things like property insurance, incarceration, and first responders for people, in the long run is taking action to fight the root problem more expensive?

(One of today's problem is that we mostly try to intervene at adolescence or later, at which point a ton of damage has already been done.
He's right. As some point in my life I ceased to believe that you are supposed to find your beliefs and defend them to the death, even in the face of new evidence. Of course I didn't articulate it that way in those days. I think some people become enlightened with acceptance of the fact that theyre probably wrong, they probably don't know what about, you have to live life believing you're right (otherwise you wouldn't believe anything) and always be ready to accept when you're wrong about something. Once this realization comes, your beliefs become detached from your ego.

I make a point to reserve the right to change my mind about anything at any point in time. I can't grow as a person otherwise. I don't owe anyone an apology for that, or for being wrong about something. And I am willing to consider any viewpoint, any at all, even some that are unpallatable to me or someone else. I haven't internalized or acknowledged the correctness of many of those extreme viewpoints because my faculty of reason has led me to disbelieve many of them, but I do detach myself when discussing or considering them. I'm after the truth. I want to be right, not feel right, and that means learning, which means being OK with being wrong and changing your mind when appropriate.
Single pane windows, lead pipe, lead paint, knob and tube electrical, no sump pumps, no drainage tile, no Tyvek, clay chimneys, poor insulation, poorly ventilated attics, creaky floors, etc. Old houses have a lot of inferior elements. Sure, the denser wood and some of the masonry or plasterwork is nice, but it ends there.
I had a co-worker who built a house in the same sort of way while living with his father nearby. I did ask about inspections and he said that out in rural Texas, they just don't do that, and they also pay very little in property tax.

Generally speaking you want at least one window per room as a means of escape in the event of a fire in case the door is blocked, but the natural light might also be important to people.
I grew up in a small one that did have central "air" in the form of an attic fan. At about the center of the house there was a ~4 foot fan mounted in the ceiling, concealed by louvers that opened when the fan turned on.

This analysis is easily refuted in that your Japanese car isn't representative of builders buying the cheapest available 2x4 or screw and trying to deliver the cheapest built house with the most profit, and not really worrying about building a long-term brand.
The biggest/baddest drones will be available to the richest/baddest people, just like all military tech. This is not a great future.
The 737 spans almost 60 years. The earlier planes had a much higher rate of accidents, which skews the overall numbers given that today you'd have a hard time finding one of those in the sky, especially on a passenger route. The 737NG has one of the best safety records of any class of plane flying today. Aside from a 737 MAX, right now if you find yourself on a 737 it's nearly guaranteed to be an NG, which is just about the safest airplane currently in use.
I owned a house built around that time, for a while, but not a kit house.

The lumber they used for structural members (huge, 8x10ish boards, very long, all around where the foundation met the house; joists; et c) or for other parts that were never meant to be seen, like floor underlayment (which was a bunch of ordinary boards laid diagonally, so they wouldn't match up with wood floor boards laid atop it—not plywood) would probably have gone to veneer these days. Knot-free, perfect stuff. Much of it's likely nearly impossible to get these days at any price, in the same size and quality, short of salvage from houses like that. I never got much of a look in the walls, but it was 2 stories plus a full-height floor for the attic (need that for temp control, in the days before air conditioning) and was "balloon" construction, which means they used a whole bunch of boards 2-3 stories high to frame the exterior walls, which, again, probably nearly impossible to find these days, straight and strong enough to do such a thing.
Thanks for including this example. It helps me understand what you mean.

ChatGPT is not really equipped to do this level of code design because there are too many steps for it to handle at once. It can handle your instructions if it could first write a detailed design spec, then write code and unit tests, then run them, read the compiler output, and iteratively make changes.

IOW, this would require a purpose-built solution which uses ChatGPT's underlying engine to take your list of requirements and turn them into built and tested code.

The MAX is the one plane I will absolutely not fly on. It's nice to see the numbers, but as you say, fairly unsurprising. It's also nice to see that the 787 and A380 have never crashed, since those are my favorite planes.

Those are rookie numbers compared to stuff like MA60. First flight in 2000, 110 built, 67 still active, 57 exported, 26 in storage due to maintenance problems, 14 incidents (luckily only 1 fatal)
It's a bit different, and sure the Pico audience is slightly more advanced, but there are way more similarities than differences. They are absolutely in competition.
That second 737MAX crash was full criminal negligence on the part of Boeing. The first crash was caused by bad design, the second crash was caused by Boeing’s choice to do a big PR push to prevent regulatory action and keep the planes in the air. The families should own that company by now.
Yes, aren't they going into that business lately?
There are 6 times more "events" listed for the 737-NG variants as there are for the MAX, so there wouldn't be much inflation.

(There's also more than 100x more flights with the NG than the MAX)
There are libraries that flip the concept of an ORM on its head. Instead of a library that allows lazy query composition, you write your queries and the library generates the code for that query at compile time. It’s a much better model in my opinion.

E.g. you could write a query like this:

getUser:
SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?

And the library would generate a class like:

class GetUserQuery {
static getUser(id: String): GetUserQueryResult
}
The list is completely pointless. It assumes the issue is the equipment. Maybe list the operator, country, and cause of incident.
A few factory made home startups have come and gone. Sadly the standards/codes vary state by state = hard to automate. I can see a large market for 9 foot panels 4 feet wide with a pre-wired plug as an option to have a wire to an attic wire set.Some 2" thick, 4", 6" Some with windows, thicker for exterior insulation foamed in option. There would be some with closet door kits, front door kits etc - buy your own door or buy theirs.
There may be someone doing this out there now.
A really small datasets shouldn’t be used for statistics. But is it small, considering there are millions of flights registered?
For new users we are suggesting they use either InfluxQL or SQL. Both are supported natively in 3.0 and we'll continue to support them. We were able to bring InfluxQL support because of its similarity to SQL. We were able to build an InfluxQL parser in Rust and have that converted into DataFusion query plans (the SQL engine we use).

Flux is an entire language and runtime so we weren't able to implement it natively in Rust. We'll continue to support it for our customers, but the path forward long term is InfluxQL and SQL.

We also submitted a FlightSQL plugin to Grafana that works with InfluxDB 3.0. So either the InfluxDB 1.x plugin using InfluxQL or the FlightSQL plugin work.
I mean, the kit homes aren't eyesores like the typical McMansion builders pretty much have to build if they're to make a profit in today's environment.

There's not a lot of money to be made buying land for top dollar and trying to build something affordable on it - especially with any quality to it, too.
The design was not "backwards-compatible" with existing pilot training, but the plan was to use software as a cheap fix. They said pilots would not need new training, and were betting lives on the reliability of software and humans.

I'm sure there are developers who are like "wow, the quality of my code sucks in this language." But I'm not sure where they work and what they do.
i think you can buy an equivalent prefab home these days for about $125k. A bit of inflation over $84k, but not approachable. But the appreciation formula for such types of houses hasn't changed - still lower than traditional stick or stone.
I wouldn't say AGI in 10 years is predicting an obvious outcome. And the same goes for many other questions on the site.
A zfs root implementation on a Gentoo system(which builds the zfs system it depends upon)...
Yep. They were trying to compensate for different feel/behavior to the pilots without additional training. I really don't see how that was approved by a competent agency...

I live in LA where chargers are very used so it's probably just a matter of the locale you're in.

I've had chargers fail at:

* The greenlots at The LADWP on Ventura and Corbin(ish)

* Flo at reseda and oxnard

* Blink or whatever at Kaiser and DeSoto

* Blink at the Ikea and burbank

To name a few. Tons more floating around in my head between my two EVs. Every single one of them likes to fail at some arbitrary time when I'm far away from my car
That's precisely what tools like Honeycomb and Lightstep offer. But most vendors don't have a traces-first approach to querying data.
Really? Coming from C++, learning Rust felt very natural and welcome because it put a name and a structure to the mental model I had been using to keep a semblance of sanity while doing C++. Maybe learning primarily with C++11 was a factor?
I wondered about that, because isn't the hijacker technically a passenger too? I wonder if their deaths are excluded from the data.
Valid notion. I don't really know the impact to top of funnel, but it seems like such a gamble to me to tighten the pipeline so much, exclude so many from starting.

It's starting to change, but for years people would look at me like I was crazy for running Debian/unstable aka Debian/sid on my machines/personal servers. Being willing to have volatile systems is a big barrier. Only having "dogfood this wip" or "pay us" as the two options is a radical ask, one that doesn't really seem survivable to me (rh/centos won't go away, but their mindshare seems likely to implode to me).
The unit and service file formats are honestly fine, it should be possible to have a second implementation. We have several varieties of SysV init already.

Sometimes there's hype but no value. That's blockchain.

LLM's also have hype, but I've already used ChatGPT in so many ways:

- writing basic demo apps that save me 10-20 minutes;
- translating code between programming languages (e.g. Python -> Javascript)
- explaining complicated code
- and many others

So hype alone isn't enough to call something a fad or overrated. Cell phones, TV's, even the internet also had a lot of hype, and they're still here today.
I'm not sure that is a takeaway here. The processes evolved, but at AWS, centralized logging w/CloudWatch Logs was becoming more common than having tools that ran commands on end hosts against locally stored ephemeral logs. Sometimes an agent would aggregate the data locally before publishing, but using tools like CloudWatch Insights was distributed and fast enough (multiple gigabytes/sec) that no indexes were necessary to get quick answers to adhoc questions. My read is they are not advocating for publishing debug logs which gets expensive quick. They are suggesting you have the ability to enable verbose logging if needs be for a temporary use case. The two types of logs they describe are service logs which have one log entry per request (customer, request id, e2e latency, response code, etc) and applications logs that go into more detail about what happened on a particular request. Service logs are less expensive to store and more information dense. You are primarily querying service logs for operational visibility. Service logs are inexpensive and fast. You query application logs to trace a specific request and that is slower and more costly. For cost savings, I know of some teams that would reprocess applications logs after x weeks to strip information that only provided short term value.
As I recall, there's a fair amount of circumstantial evidence at this point to suggest pilot suicide as the most likely cause.
It's different in that two portable devices can negotiate a direct connection without having to route all traffic through your VPS.

The VPS is still used as a central discovery location, but remote devices can learn about each other and talk directly to eachother.
Well yeah, I do think there is a fundamental difference given the DBMS is effectively hidden in this scenario, whereas the ORM is not.
