It seems they felt this was one of the novel innovations that enabled this design - that the monitoring system was so good, they'd never be at risk in the pressure hull at depth.

James Cameron said it looks like they had dropped their emergency ascent ballast before the implosion, so they may have gotten enough warning to take action. But I would guess that system was never tested to failure in real life.

It will be interesting to see which of the novel innovations supposedly enabling this unconventional design failed, if it can be determined. Rush also lampshaded the fact that his company had "successfully" bonded the titanium endcaps to carbon fiber despite that being contradictory to conventional materials science wisdom, reading the patent for the monitoring system it looks like it may have been intended to provide warning about those bonds failing too.
Not an expert but my reading of the article is that the Book of Hours/Hardouyn Hours was a Catholic prayer book in Latin and Thomas Cromwell was a secret sortof proto-Protestant who had illegal copies of the english translated Tyndale Bible hidden at his home. So the jewel encrusted latin prayer book might have been a cover story of a sort. As in, I don't think the prayer book in the famous painting reflected his actual (hidden, illegal) religous beliefs.
Who suggested they're not doing that already?
>Whether it can do it reliably / survive fatigue accross repeated cycles is a different question. Imagine we'll find out as the investigation progresses.

Seems like we already found out the answer is “no”. The overall ship design failed.
This is my experience as well. I find it much easier to work faster when the compiler is helping me, and I don't consider it a "straitjacket" at all.
Maybe cover for a Russian withdrawal? Create some internal issue that gives troops a reason to retreat without losing face. Wishful thinking perhaps.
The price isn't listed because it depends on bulk, anticipated support and support contracts (ongoing revenue), anticipated future sales etc.

If an independent shop wants 2 cameras you charge them enough to make a profit on the overhead of dealing with them (or point them to a retailer if they want less than a pallet).

If Walmart want 2 cameras to try out you give them (or loan them) to them for free knowing if they like them you'll be shipping them by the pallet for years.
But not stupid in a racial way.
One of the shuttle missions that resulted in loss of crew was caused by operating the vehicle outside of the rated temperature envelope (for the SSB O-rings). If that requirement was honored, the failure rate could have been halved.

The other loss of crew was caused by a genuine oversight in the design of the system, in that the orbiter was always susceptible to strikes from insulating foam falling from the external tank.

Unlike Titan, neither one of these failures were due to the inevitable cyclic wear of the primary pressure vessel. They were both devils hiding in the details, neither one the result of reckless hubris.

OceanGate full on admitted that its carbon fiber hull, a major red flag component at the center of its design, was highly experimental and did not know exactly when it would fail. They foolishly thought that strain gauges would detect issues well in advance of failure, while completely ignoring how immediately and catastrophically composite structures are known to fail. They recklessly sold tickets to fund their experimental craft, inviting people aboard who were definitely not made fully aware of just how flawed the design was up front. These were not all members of the Explorers Club — a former head writer for the Simpsons went on a dive, for goodness’ sake.

So to return back to your point, I’d rather take a shuttle after a few dozen flights than get inside a Titan II after a few dozen dives.
I'm no sub nerd but it seems obvious that unless you can otherwise alter your buoyancy somehow, your only option is to drop weights.

I think submarines use ballast tanks they flood with sea water and empty with pumps to vary their buoyancy. Titan had none of that complexity AIUI, and multiple articles I read mentioned dropping "ascent weights".

Careful, this seems to be falling for the prosecutor's fallacy where the probabilities aren't normalized to account for base rates of the hypothesis occuring. So in this case, the percent of successful valuations that have a female founders will likely be extremely low simply because the gender ratio is disproportionaly male, and being successful is extremely rare.

For example, let's say probability of being successful is due to random chance, and effects both genders equally. Then ratio of successful women to successful men would just reflect the ratio of women to men. Now imagine if the actual valuation of successful companies is exponentially weighted, so that the top 1 or 2 companies make up the bulk of the total valuation. Again, these two companies are more likely to be founded by men given the base gender rate, and now the percent of valuation attributed to men would completely dominate the valuation percent.

To get the real effectiveness of female founders, we need to account for the low probability of success and low probability of being female.

I think both can be achieved with Bayes theorem:

p($_high|f) = p($_high) p(f|$_high) / Sum_i[p($_i) p(f|$_i)]
p($_high|m) = p($_high) p(m|$_high) / Sum_i[p($_i) p(m|$_i)]

The first equation gets the number of founders who are female and successful, and then divide that by the number of female founders in total, and the second one does the same for males. That should give you a apples to apples comparison.

Note: p($_i) represents a sequence of valuation probabilities subdivided to reflect low valuation, moderate valuation etc. I think this should account for the exponential distribution of valuation, but someone correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't think anyone objects to NASA spending money on safety for crew. The fact that an uncrewed SLS launch costs $4B is insane by any standard.
> But, spend enough time in linux-land and you'll find out there's two very different ways of doing things. There's the Debian Way, and the Red Hat Way.

For enterprise Linux at least.

On my home systems I usually use Alpine or Arch, both of which are distinctly unlike both Debian and RHEL.
Having been stuck on RHEL when I worked for the DoD I'm shocked there are still people out there who willingly choose to be in that ecosystem, and to a certain extent I've always been surprised that Fedora is widely popular and well maintained. Like I understand that it is a true statement that people like it, but what was their progression that landed them there I just don't get it. OpenSuse is even more mysterious in that way.

And I say this as someone whose first distro was CentOS. That died long ago. Were there actually people who didn't migrate to Ubuntu/Debian who went from CentOS to [other stuff]? It just blows my mind

Though now I'm on arch sooo... there are many paths I suppose

The "inner voice" isn't a sleeping thing, it's an awake thing.

I guess you may be one of the presumably minority of people who doesn't have an inner narrative? I'm having a hard time imagining how this works, but then again, I'm aphantasic, and a lot of people have trouble imagining how that works too.
I think I agree with most of what you write, but note that async has lots of applications beyond microservices. In particular, writing anything that uses the network (e.g. a web browser), which definitely feels system-y to me.
What are you running these days where you need that kind of stability? For a lot of folks, their apps run on containers or are static binaries, where the underlying host packages don't need stability.
Strassen's algorithm is, I think, one of the easier ones to understand along these lines. It uses a recursive divide and conquer strategy. The naive algorithm does 1 (N x N) multiplication by adding the results of 8 multiplications of size (N/2 x N/2), and (sweeping details under the rug here) that takes time N^log2(8) = N^3. The improved algorithm uses 7 multiplications of size (N/2 x N/2) and takes N^log2(7). For those details, the wiki page does a nice job.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strassen_algorithm

So intuitively speaking: when I see a logarithm like that with an integer ratio, I think "oh, somebody saved 1/6th of the work in a recursive algorithm."

Given some of the other responses I have feeling this might be an unpopular opinion, but I generally think it's very difficult to change meeting culture like this company-wide. It grows over time, it's organic, and if every Tech Lead attends 20 hours a week of meetings and you want to change the entire culture to make that 8 hours a week it's going to be an uphill battle, and there will be folks actively working against you. Some may be your other Tech Leads who are more than happy to spend half their time chit-chatting in the conference room or browsing Facebook on a Zoom call.

Think about how many of these meeting you really shouldn't be at ever. Even one where you're there 30 minutes a week and it's only useful for you to be there every couple months, it's going to be hard to get out of. My guess is it's realistic for you to be expected to attend these meetings, or at least know what happens in them (how easy that is, if it's even possible, is also a company culture thing you won't be able to change overnight).

If this is really an issue for you, the easiest way to fix it is to leave and to ask about meeting culture in the interview process.

It's true that this costs money, but it doesn't cost that much money.

The EU or US could just decide to pay for it. I would guess that this is politically easier to swallow in Europe even though it makes as much if not more sense economically in the US.
A dumb pet peeve I have is the use of the term "real time".

What on earth do you even mean by that?

Talk to a controls engineer about real time operating systems and PLC programming, and you get a very solid definition. Talk to a software developer and it means something like "as fast as we can, without any purposeful delays or buffers".

Maybe I'm just a pedant, but the entire article has graphs with no numbers, no defined service level objectives, and vaguely mentions 500ms at the end.

What is real time?
I’m being glib intentionally, spirit of like, hacker koans.

obviously not, as in a everyday definition of cost, sticker price today. but the externalities, as in a formal definition of cost, are so much, and important enough to enough commercial stakeholders that yes, 100% makes sense to try to do this and hit under the actual cost, which has diverged from the short-term cost
I agree on more DC appliances. Can't really escape having a failure-prone component in the mix though. For utility-scale you still need AC for transmission. For small-scale you need a switching regulator to even out the output voltage.
> Nobody announces a coup in advance

Taking what we're seeing at face value, Prigozhin is credibly threatening to march on Moscow. He isn't announcing anything in advance, he's using public channels to sway leaders to his side.

- Leave a meeting as soon as you see that your presence is not helping the company, and state why you are leaving when you do so. Push for it to be considered immoral for anyone not to do the same.

- Push for written material to be made available the night before the meeting; all participants must read beforehand; meeting canceled if not.

- After meetings send around a summary of what was achieved, who contributed, who found the contributions useful, and (the remainder) whose presence was a waste of company resources.

- If you really can't excuse yourself from meetings where your presence is not helpful / you don't want to be there, then resign and start doing leetcodes in meetings until your last day.
The buckets themselves are also false, so no.
Isn't Rocky in the same boat? It doesn't seem they have any more access to RHEL sources than Alma does.
It seems like it would be trivial to test how much early warning such a system gives by bringing smaller/cheaper test hulls to failure, either in the ocean, or in a pressure testing chamber. I wonder if they did that?

I'm completely lost in this topic, I have no idea what is going on, can someone please summarise ?
The kernel still needs to be stable, and support the machine's hardware.
This is exactly the reasons I think Red Hat has really messed up here. Fedora has been steadily gaining adoption among desktop linux, and truly is a remarkably great OS. This in turn leads to people choosing EL for server-side because they already know the conventions, packages, etc.

That is going to stop. I've been on Fedora non-stop since Fedora 17 (and a few times distro hopping before that) and 3 days ago I would have said there's no way I'd consider switching. But I'm putting serious thought into it. I'm going to wait and see how this shakes out, but if the end result of this is that there isn't a workable free RHEL clone, I might just switch. I don't like the Debian way of doing things, but I don't see any other viable options for running the same thing on both local and server. It's really too bad there isn't an Arch server version :-D

Absolutely nothing wrong! We use similar joysticks in more missions critical jobs, but people are ignorant sometimes, joystick is bad but a fuse or transistor or other component costing $0.3 is completely fine.
I feel like a few languages are better than others in a related but not quite identical area:

Languages like Java and Go, while they CAN escape to native libraries, have cultures that tend to avoid that kind of thing. At least, in my projects, I have quite an easy time using zero native dependencies with those languages (except for the underlying kernel of course), and so I feel like there is a much lower chance of escape-hatch issues sneaking in.

They aren't built on a foundation of legacy C and C++ libraries - not even the crypto - and I find that to be an advantage.
It does look that way. Where would the "Wagner" group get new weapons supplies for a successful coup? The CIA?

I've heard multiple times that the "Wagner" group has actually been set up by the FSB and that this Prigozhin character is just a front man. Which makes sense, because how would a single individual set up such a large military organization?

It is possible that the troops have become loyal to him. They'd still have to fight the entire Russian, Chechen, Belarus, ... armies.

Why the psyop? Last time that guy made compromising videos was shortly before the fall of Bakhmut as a distraction. For all we know he is still FSB.
I think that just got fixed in the newest version, but it'll take a bit for instances to update.

They switched from using websockets with a constant feed of new posts, to just normal http.
That looks immature. Much better to state to the group that you can see that your participation isn't benefitting the company and that you are going to go and do something that will.
> This guy was taking extremely unreasonable risks.

It's easy to agree post-ex, after he went and killed himself and 4 other people.

He probably thought the failure rate might've been closer to 1 in 1000. That still seems WAY too high for me, but maybe for him that was fine.

Either way, he was almost certainly wrong, and it was much higher than that.

Would he have done it if he thought it had a 4% chance of failure? Maybe once. But I doubt 25 times...
I haven't read the paper, but most of the time, in order to achieve matching outputs with less layers, you will need exponentially more neurons per layer.

If you have infinite parallelism I believe the shallow network would be faster, but deep networks will use less total operations and will be faster in practice.

This is a military coup. The army is in Zaporizhia. Moscow is defended by the FSB and national guard. Prigozhin needs to rally disgruntled forces to his side to enable him to move his troops. Quietly maneuvering would hand the narrative to the regime.
I know that feeling. For work, I have to do basically everything in a VM, but even on the host the input latency (as measured by 1000 fps camera filming the keyboard with the screen in the background, while I strike a key) is not great or anything. Being used to this latency causes me to feel like the disk encryption boot screen shows the asterisk before I truly typed the letter of the password. (Relevant: https://danluu.com/keyboard-latency/)

I am on my way to bed but, damn, you're getting me curious about the delay that Mumble has versus speed of sound. Knowing it uses Speex ("This is an example of Speex ..." x100) which has a minimum delay of 30ms (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speex), and that you have <1ms ping on gigabit LAN so ignoring that by comparison (even if you>mumble>someoneelse is 2 hops), sound travels...

$ qalc
> 340m/s * 30ms
(340 * (meter / second)) * (30 * millisecond) = 10.54 m

That would be the absolute minimum possible (unless modern Mumble switched to Opus and you used that version) for it to be true. But, considering the first paragraph, I am also very ready to accept it just sounds like Mumble is quicker just because it's so contrary to the norm.

If you say it was ~11+ meters (36 ft), I may be curious enough to create a test setup :p. But I'm assuming you mean the person sitting next to you, not someone who put Mumble on huge speakers across a hall.
Been tossing around the idea of Poe Eth to 100w usb-c wall ports. I'd love to see more Poe DC gear. In aus we have laws where if it's <100v and x amperage you don't need a license to work on it.

Arch for the most part does things the same way that Fedora does. At least, way more the Fedora way than the Debian way. I would consider Arch as part of the "Red Hat" way of doing things.

I don't think you need an infinite number of them, there is a relationship between "how close you want to get" and "how many of them you need".
Thank you. I was reluctant to chase after and track first-party research directly, or work directly derived from it, as my limited prior experience told me it's not the most efficient thing unless I want to go into that field of research myself. You're changing my mind about this; from now, I'll try sticking close to source.
In my experience 2) doesn’t work. I block time and people just ignore it.

This is especially bad with multi-person meetings. There’s no slot when everyone’s free, so the organiser picks the least-bad slot. Unfortunately it’s when you had booked out your time.

Now what do you do? Decline? Because you’re unavailable? You know you can make it, and you feel compelled to turn up.
Regarding making geometry a hidden component: it, kind of, is a hidden component in HyperRogue. I mean, yeah, it is in the name. But people play HyperRogue without understanding what hyperbolic geometry is. They think it is a game taking place on a sphere, or a normal Euclidean map with some kind of fish-eye projection. On the other hand, I do not think it is really possible to hide it from someone who knows how these things work, as the perspective works very different in hyperbolic geometry.

Which is actually quite cool: while so-called "non-Euclidean" games do all they can to show how weird they are, the actual non-Euclidean geometry pretends to be normal (but actually it is way more weird).
They split the image into small patches (I think 16x16 is standard), and then treat each patch as a token. The image becomes a sequence of tokens, which gets analyzed the same as if it was text.

Doing it this way is obviously throwing away a lot of information, but I assume the advantages of using a transfomer outweigh the disadvantages.
