The main benefit I can think of for the military is the ability to approach zones that have anti drone equipment via the ground. Noise isn't really a concern since grenade drones fly too high and kamikaze drones rely on speed and unpredictability. Not sure how much better approach on wheels would be than just flying low, either.

The tradeoff is presumably higher cost and less reliability. Additionally, less ability to carry mass than if it just flew.

I can't imagine a way this would be too useful but obviously a lack of imagination isn't proof..
Many serpentine belts are a sub-10-minute job. Put a wrench on the tensioner, take the tension off it, slip old belt off, put the new belt on, release the wrench tension. It’s literally faster than any oil change (engine, diff, or transfer case).

Using OKD (OpenShift Kubernetes Distribution) because I just dealt with this morning:

https://github.com/okd-project/okd/releases - download the MacOS installer and unzip it.

Then try to run it from the command line. Be told that it "cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified". This is NOT the "is an app downloaded from the Internet, do you wish to run it?" dialog.

Go to Finder, and double click it. Get the same message.

You have to go to Finder, then right click the app, specifically hit Open (which will open a terminal that will immediately exit), and only now can you run this app in your original terminal.
It doesn't really say anything (and it was not clear that these two projects are related).

I mean it doesn't say what is it. Is it a blockchain? Is it a network protocol? It it a development SDK for something? If latter, the for what? Or maybe it's an app container like Docker or Kubernetes but encrypted? Or guessing by the name, an Operating System, it must be run on some hardware? What hardware it supports? Though from the "installation" section it doesn't seem that it's an Operating System at all. So what it is?

We might have had open, interoperable chat today had we done something like this to protect our protocols.

If email and HTTP had been developed much later (ie. in the 2000s), we'd probably have unilateral corporate control of those protocols too. And by god, Google is certainly trying.

Yeah, this is a perfect microcosm of how "the system" works. This guy is right! He just got there too late, with too little money and not enough fanfare.

Sam Altman, on the other hand? He's the figurehead of a consumer-facing product with a brilliant marketing team and probably a crack team of lobbyists to boot. He's got billions of dollars in Microsoft funding and a product you can go use for free. All he's got to do is roll in there first with an AI alarmist response and convince lawmakers the state-of-the-art is dangerous. After all, OpenAI is synonymous with SOTA, right? So we follow the industry leaders, without really looking where they're headed. And now we end up here.

Oh how I wish Open Source software was fairly represented in court. But ideas don't pay for themselves, and money talks awful loud...

In the US specifically, it is class actions that make it expensive. If someone accidentally or deliberately puts lead in the flour supply, then that can probably be traced to tens of millions of cakes given to tens of millions of people.

And a good prosecution would be able to prove that while a small amount of lead didn't cause noticeable symptoms to anyone, there is plenty of evidence that across populations lead causes higher criminality, lower IQ, lower earnings, etc. And therefore, as a class, these people have been harmed by an actual dollar amount.

This one had me rolling on the floor laughing. Remember when James Clapper lied to Congress about PRISM[1] and there were zero consequences?

Well, ok, but she isn't coming out of the UFO closet in quite the same way; where Rubio directly bolsters, Gillibrand has "no idea" of the veracity of Grusch's claims[1] and seems to be more focused on getting oversight on "rogue Special Access Programs":

> “We need to just look into whether there are rogue SAP programs that no one is providing oversight for,” says Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a New York Democrat who led the Senate’s April UAP hearing. “The goal for me will be to have a hearing on that at some point so that we can assess if these SAP’s actually exist.”

This has quite a different thrust to the statements of Hawley and Rubio, IMO.

It's not that bad if you are young. To me the good path is you should fuck at least 20 girls to know what you like / how girls work before settling (and girls should do the same). Then after 40+ girls you get tired of it if you are not a retard. The fact that most young people almost don't fuck at all is a bigger problem than the one who fuck too much ^^ (consensually of course)

Official stats say COVID killed a million people in US alone and 6 million globally. Thats more than Ebola, more than tuberculosis.

Furthermore, we still have people getting repeat infections - and full extent of damage is unknown, but its not pretty. Its quite clear that covid is close to tuberculosis than it is to ordinary flu

The 737 NEO is 0.07. Earlier 737 models predate the Airbus 320 by nearly 20 years. The equivalent Boeing planes are marginally safer in context.

The 737 MAX has a horrible ratio because it’s very new and had a very serious flaw on launch which caused multiple crashes. Whether or not it’s equivalently safe now is yet to be proven.
It doesn't seem that things have gotten bad enough that those services are no longer available and real-estate owners are impacted by it.

Yes, teachers have to commute from out of town, but this doesn't affect the local residents just yet, from what I can tell, the educators are there when you need them, maybe thanks to higher-paying private schools.

The restaurant scene is still strong, prices are through the roof as always and people can afford it just fine.

First responder salaries are pretty good as well, although there are plenty of vacancies: https://transparentcalifornia.com/salaries/san-francisco/?pa...

I don't see how the current status quo will change anytime soon given that the residents don't feel that impacted besides the inconvenience of not being able to shop on Market St anymore. Most of the fancy neighborhood owners (Pac Heights, Russian Hill, Noe, Duboce, North Beach, etc) are still isolated from the urban decay and don't have to worry about finding a place to live. They can let things get worse in other parts of town for a while longer.
First on Mastodon, now on Lemmy, quick growth was followed by a wave of defederation because the moderators couldn't handle the load of new users. Mastodon eventually got better moderation tools and with the attention put on Lemmy and Kbin I expect those to get better tools soon as well.

If Facebook does join the Fediverse, only the largest instances with sufficient moderators will end up federating with them, or the servers that just don't care (and probably already got defederated because of that). Facebook definitely won't moderate their users sufficiently.

In the end, I think the impact will be minimal.

Based on current rumors (actual talks are under NDA), Facebook is currently arranging unidirectional federation with only the very largest servers out there. Small servers that can't moderate the influx of users won't be federated with in the first place.

The scandal with the MCAS though was in large part because Boeing went out of their way to hide the existence of this system to save their customers training costs, and therefore win more sales from existing 737 operators. On the contrary, Airbus, for instance, provide detailed guidance for what to do if either one, two or all three of a system like the ADIRS (Air Data Inertial Reference System) were to fail during a flight, even though that is extremely unlikely.
I like Kaze's content. There is something fun about how hacky and ridiculous it is to put that much effort into Super Mario 64 optimizations and brand new levels.

> no xkb; it's bloat when console keymaps suffice

So on the pro side, that sounds like you could just configure your keyboard layout once and have it work everywhere, which would be nice. On the con side, I'm not aware of a way to switch console keymaps on the fly; setxkbmap lets me configure a hotkey that switches layouts instantly, which is really handy. Or am I misunderstanding the impact?
Parameterized queries are a thing in every popular driver in every popular language (except Lua). It's been quite a while since I saw a tutorial using string concatenation.

Is this really the case?

I can look up a map of what the State and Federal government consider a wetland on my property. If I need to do eg construction within 100 feet of such an area on the map, I'm supposed to call in the local DEC and they -- for free -- come in and tell me the boundaries of the wetland based on local vegetation.

Isn't that how it works everywhere?
I think the point (which I agree with) is this doesn't benefit Microsoft at all. It benefits a VP by them being able to show some metric move from Q to Q, and get a fat bonus. They couldn't care less about the long term effect on Microsoft's PR / reputation (they'll likely skitter off after collecting a few of those bonuses either rest&vest with some D&I initiative, or move off to the next victim to suck from).

What confuses me is why the organizers couldn't seek a change in the law. The Olympics is a big enough deal that they could seek an exemption. When we hosted the Olympics, I remember they had special laws written specifically for the games.
In the cloud, you have very little control over the clocks. If you have baremetal, there's almost always the ability to configure (at least) GPS time sync for a server or two. If you get to the point where you have entire datacenters, there's no excuse NOT to invest in getting good clocks -- and is likely a requirement.
Pardons are up to the individual president and Biden is notoriously stingy with them. He's only granted 6 out of thousands of petitions, mostly for drug charges. For context, Trump granted 237, many for securities fraud and related crimes. Obama granted 212 pardons for all sorts of things, but generally preferred commutations (>1700).

The type of situation was new, compelling argument. In my first response to you I stated: More succinctly, there are times when one should change their mind much more rapidly than gradually.

You responded by repeating your original points. This gives the impression that you don’t think this is true. That is, that you don’t believe there are circumstances where someone ought to change their mind much more rapidly than gradually. I still don’t understand the purpose of your posts. They did not pertain the situation I was talking about.

Side discussion. Putting words into my mouth is not a good response. The statements we make have logical conclusions and implications. So while one may not say the words, for instance, I want to kill you. one can conclude this sentiment if other words/actions imply it.

You may attempt to deny me the right to put words into your mouth, so to speak, but as a person well trained in mathematics you won’t be successful. A collection of statements is rarely without valid, logical implications. I may not correctly make deductions on meaning/intent but the retort ought to be: That’s not a valid deduction for these reasons…
>Personally I’m in favor of pretty broad federal land protections.

I'm generally in favor of broader protections than the Court permitted with this decision. However, determining what policies are appropriate is simply not in the remit of the Court. SCOTUS determines what the law says, not what it should say.
Congress shouldn't have to constantly pass laws just to tell the executive branch that they are abusing their powers. That's what the judiciary is for.

My uncle has a small stream running through his back yard, counted as "navigable water" despite the fact that I could jump across it as a child and it wasn't deep enough to support anything but a paper boat.

Untrue. The community is divided. A lot of people are open to this, including Eugen Rochko himself (in charge of the largest Mastodon instances in addition to the Mastodon protocol), who agreed to an NDA meeting with Meta.
The simple point for most people is that new design planes tend to have higher numbers and older design planes (where all the issues and quirks have been seen) tend to be very safe.

I would argue the situation here is different. Clapper used politically adept language to avoid saying what surveillance capabilities the NSA possessed. Here, David Grusch has given specific program names, locations, and people involved with these programs and is alleging these programs have not been properly disclosed to congress for over 80 years. His claims were found credible and urgent by the ICIG which is why he was referred to the congressional intelligence committees. All of that, combined with Rubio saying other whistleblowers have corroborated Grusch's claims make this all the more serious.

> 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

You mean the intervening time in which every single operator of the 737MAX was told to review emergency procedures? In which every platform for aviation news was focused on the behavior of MCAS and how to disable it? And in that time Ethiopian Airlines grossly failed in its duty to train its crews on MCAS specifically and upset/emergency recovery more generally, as evidenced by the accident flight. Read the NTSB and BEA add-ons to the report; I think it's clear that the crew would have been hard-pressed to recover safely from an serious event.

I really don't want to defend Boeing here, the design of MCAS was obviously grossly flawed, made significantly worse because other Boeing airframes with a similar system used multiple AoA sensors. But given that the effects of MCAS misactivation are similar to a trim runaway, which is supposed to be a memory item for 737 pilots, the inescapable takeaway is that a lot of pilots simply weren't/aren't prepared to handle rare but critical in-flight emergencies that builders and certification authorities take for granted.
I'm just suggesting to add a one-two sentence description to understand if it's something worth exploring or not. I understand that people can go to some videos, spent some time reading bunch of articles, etc, but if they don't know what kind of project is this it's unlikely to happen.

As I mentioned below, my question: is it a blockchain? Is it a network protocol? It it a development SDK for something? If latter, the for what? Or maybe it's an app container like Docker or Kubernetes but encrypted? Or guessing by the name, an Operating System, it must be run on some hardware? What hardware it supports? Though from the "installation" section it doesn't seem that it's an Operating System at all.

Congress has been deadlocked for 12½ years (i.e. since January 2011) due to the Senate filibuster. Don't expect any meaningful¹ non-budgetary law to be passed until the filibuster² is gone.

Since Congress is in a comatose state, executive branch agencies have come to rely on Chevron deference and related doctrines, and the people on the courts to expand executive branch authority.

¹ Congress manages to pass a few non-budgetary laws that have broad³ bipartisan appeal, but this has the effect of excluding most meaningful legislation

² the repeal of which Sinema and Manchin blocked; so its repeal is contingent on Democrats winning a few more Senate seats

³ broad, due to the Senate filibuster, and the Hastert rule in the House: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hastert_Rule
