> The two pilots from the small aircraft had turned off the plane transponder. They had a mid-air collision with a 737. Everyone at the 737 died.

> The two pilots of the Embraer 190 are Americans. They were sentenced to jail in Brazilian court but were never arrested to this day (not sure why).

America believes that the collision was caused by a mistake by Brazilian ATC (instructing them to fly at the wrong altitude), not the pilots turning off the transponder, and that it was an accident not a crime.
Indeed, airplanes are (as often cited) much safer if one counts per miles travelled, but they are certainly not if counting per trip.
Ah standards. Taking all the fun out of international travel confusion.

Now if we could only get the US onto the metric system and abolish daylight saving time.
I for one am glad in some ways about this. My company is remote first and this means we won't have to compete for new hires as aggressively now that the big companies are shooting themselves in the foot. They wanna compete for the same talent as us? they'll need to offer 20-40k over our offers.
I am willing to bet that the type system and the opinionated way of doing things helps a lot here.

Anecdata but I found myself very productive with Haskell when I was learning it for grad school, to the point where I knew that if it compiled, it was most likely right.

I had similar experiences though not to that degree with Rust with very little time spent on it in comparison to Haskell. I feel a lot more comfortable sleeping at night over C or Python.
You think the moment of birth is more arbitrary than trying to figure out when a clump of cells/a fetus is viable?

> The Supercharger network is one of their remaining competitive advantages.

Not really. Tesla chargers are slow and low voltage compared to other charger manufacturers. Other charging networks are deploying 400 kW chargers. Like FastNed has deployed 400 kW chargers from EVBox and Alpitronic:

It won’t move the needle, no. But neither does your vote. On the other hand, “get out the vote” campaigns are still a thing. It’s not a perfect analogy, but if business owners band together and all push people back to the office, it’s not unreasonable for them to hope it at least props up office space asset values.

So, part of the reason why EVs have struggled to gain a market is specifically because the dealers can't make as much money on the maintenance side. All the stuff about "range anxiety" and "charging infrastructure" was a sideshow. You already have a garage that can deliver 120VAC at 15A to your car and that is enough charging infrastructure for everything but road trips. Dealers wanted to sell cars with Sony timers[0] in them, and internal combustion means a lot of metal parts and tiny explosions that can go wear out and go wrong. EVs do not have those kinds of problems.

Tesla doesn't have dealers, but they've been the vanguard of bringing Apple-style "serialized for your safety[1]" parts to the automotive market. Almost every part is paired or calibrated to the ECU and the car won't start or won't run well without their proprietary software and signing key involved. And since Musk embarrassed the rest of the car industry into making EVs, they're copying everything about Tesla, including the bad bits[2]. As a result, repair-hostile design is ubiquitous in EVs.

Actually, I've heard it might be back-contaminating ICE cars, too - you might just never buy a new vehicle ever again at this rate.

[0] Japanese urban legend / slang term for "thing in an electronic device designed to break when the warranty ends"

[1] against unauthorized repair shops

[2] Most established firms tend to be vertically disintegrated channel traders - i.e. they buy other people's components, put it together, and sell it on as a finished product. Any major product change is a process of herding cats, dogs, and guinea pigs all to the same spot and hoping they don't harm each other in the process. This results in an extremely conservative design discipline. For example:

- GM tried selling electric vehicles in the 90s and shitcanned them because dealers weren't going to sell them.

- PC vendors weren't going to bother selling laptops with SSDs in them until people started switching to Apple because "it's so fast because it boots in like 5 seconds."

Of course, once a Tesla or an Apple changes market expectations, then it's easy to copy them, because they've already de-risked the project.
The Clean Water Act was amended in in 1977 to add the phrase "adjacent wetlands" specifically because of contention on this point. This was after the Army Corps of Engineers and the EPA had fought and settled into an agreement on definitions and policy stemming the previous version and that understanding was known and referenced by congress during argument. The congressional research document which traces the history of this has already been linked on this post but I'll reiterate it here: https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R44585

If you want to jump straight to the punchline, this is from the section on United States v. Riverside Bayview Homes, Inc in which the Supreme Court made clear that they were aware of this context and informed their ruling taking it into account:
The Court also cited legislative history from the passage of the Clean Water Act and the
amendments in 1977—in which the term “adjacent wetlands” was added to the statute107—as
support for its conclusion that Congress intended for the Clean Water Act to have a broad
jurisdictional reach which included the adjacent wetlands at issue.108 In concluding that adjacent
wetlands could reasonably be covered, however, the Court also emphasized that it did not express
any opinion on the Corps’ authority to regulate discharges of fill material into wetlands that are
not adjacent to bodies of open water.109

Sure, but something present on the screen of a trusted system is very very different than a post it note. This claim is why I'm sticking strong by my assertion that this is why red teams exist. That's a really baffling view of security, to me.
I am the same, I love good monitoring. My place has been very focused on it, and we struggle to find time to work on it beyond basic «does it work». Yet We have so much monitoring we are drowning in metrics.
I have no affiliation with Air Gradient (who wrote TFA) but I recently assembled one of their DIY devices (the Pro Pre-soldered version) and I'm quite happy with it.

If you can put lego together you can assemble this device, and the price is right IMO, especially compared to competitors. I don't think it's as compact or good looking as an Aranet 4, and it's not portable unless you use a battery bank, but's it half the price.

Well, it's not automated. But we must all remember that as software engineers we are not trained in the law and so, before we argue for US wetlands to receive federal protection, we should first let the experts, who have experience, training, and credentials decide.

Land use is a complex and nuanced subject and before you argue for one way or the other, perhaps you should listen to the experts. Remember, people can die in isolated wetlands so the appropriate regulatory authorities should make the decisions.
Are we ignoring the fact that congress didn't need to fix this for the last 45 years, because the judiciary had set clear precedent on how it interpreted the law? Why would congress spend its time on bolstering the defenses of well-established laws against every potential random flip-flopping of the judiciary at any point in the future? That sounds like a tremendous waste of time, and an exercise in trying to mind-read future judges.

What's really happening here is that a wall that took years/decades to build, that everyone thought was solid, was just torn down, and everyone is saying "the masons should have just built a better wall if they cared so much. They can do so now if they choose." while the territory that the wall was protecting is being invaded. See the problem?
The article might be poor, the author self-serving, and their views poorly sourced, but we don't have to rely on this one article to know that offices are terrible for productivity. Countless studies on the open floor plans and cube farms companies want to pull workers back to have shown that they are terrible for productivity, so you can take your pick from any of them. Many people here have experienced that for themselves.

Offices are good for forced socialization, collaboration, networking, and micromanaging, but not for productivity, flexibility, employee's health and comfort, and especially not for work that requires long periods of intense focus.
> Congress basically has all the power. They could just tell SCOTUS to piss off.

No? If SCOTUS says a law is unconstitutional, you’re either in amendment territory, or the complete collapse of the American system if Congress and the Executive ignore them.

Is there a real reason to need folks in the office for most tech work?

I can understand timezones being an issue with remote work, but at that point just don't hire in lots of disparate timezones. Still, I work with folks that wake up when I get off work, so I don't get it.

Communication is the key, and it doesn't magically get better by going to an office. All you get is a false sense of control.
I think it is true that the best people are the first to go, at least based on my first hand experience. The forced rto was on of the nails in the coffin that got me to finally leave. I wasn't the only one to go and without trying to sound egotistical I was one of the best people there so it was easy to get another job that was fully remote. I've kept in contact with a few ex co-workers who are still there and the only reason they're staying is because they don't currently have the experience / knowledge to go somewhere else.
See my reply to justrealist's sibling comment to yours.
Makes sense to me, and if SBF was as smart as he thinks he is, he should have thought of this possibility. Why would an individual think they have any authority to enforce an extradition agreement made between two countries? Completely nuts.
If the performance hit is seen as the overhead of the actual object oriented pattern (assigning fields to objects, caching, etc), then yeah, not that much slower, after all, the allocations would have to happen at some point. Patterns like DataMapper pattern present an alternate path that gives ergonomic advantages while not hiding the hard parts of dealing with state AND being incredibly performant.

But the real performance cost of ORMs has always been what typically gets left on the table: well written queries and schema. Poorly written schemas inspire poorly written queries which in turn completes the ouroboros by inspiring poorly written indexes. And ORM's like ActiveRecord encourage this. One easy example of this is the Paranoia gem as an addon to ActiveRecord, which encourages the misguided pattern of keeping around old data in your RDBMS.. There are many more examples.
You don't you just hate those radicalized 9-0 SCOTUS rulings?

Chantell and Michael Sackett went to the Supreme Court twice. Twice! Unanimous rulings in their favor both times. Sacketts: 18, EPA: 0.

Due to court turnover they had 13 unique SCOTUS justices find in their favor.
Why? What are the alternatives?

Stalkerware does exist on the App Store. The specific things that are possible differ on each platform (for example, getting access to calls and texts is a lot more involved on iOS and most apps will just let you unlock the device and access it directly instead) but there is plenty of potential for abuse on both platforms. In many ways the model is better on iOS with regards to these kinds of things, but we regularly deal with victims that are in situations where there does not exist a platform that I am aware of that can effectively stop stalkerware completely.

I wasn't blaming Windows for it being difficult as such, though for requiring it I suppose.

Macs ship with SIP enabled and it's easy to disable, I don't know what the (comparable) issue is there?

Again, not that I'm at all an Apple/Mac fanboy, I've had one personal Apple device (2013 Air) and a couple of work MBPs since. If anything macOS could be credited with moving me to Linux. Before it I only really knew Windows, but now I'd say 'Linux is what you make of it, macOS is just about manageable, and Windows is what it is'.
And, for that matter, stop counting years and centuries from one. The 19th century was from 1900 to 1999. The 20th started at the year 2000.

I edited the above comment for clarity so I don’t know if you saw it, but the benefit is allowing people to make decisions without court cases.

Most legal questions aren’t about state power but what exactly the rule is. Contracts are a huge area that has little to do with the state. Even when stuff involves the state people want to know the legal/liability/tax implications of doing X vs Y before doing something.

Ie: Do I need a permit to build an outdoor pizza oven? It doesn’t matter how arbitrarily the rule was created, you just want to know the rule and often the penalty for breaking it. Laws often use vague terms like “reasonable.” So, WTF is does “reasonable speed under the circumstances” actually mean in say light rain, well chances are someone found out …
>That's because of the CUDA api specifically.

No, if they wanted to support AMD they would provide an alternative GPU implementation that worked on their. It's like saying an app only supports Windows because of the Windows API. If someone wanted to support multiple apps they wouldn't just use the Windows API.

Wow, those screeching voices of the minority really seem to have scared them straight in Cupertino.
The question here is whether the new, optimized SM64 implementation is CPU-bound in the first place. Games on the N64 are often limited by memory bandwidth, which is taken up by rasterization, and SM64 was something of a special case—compiled with optimizations turned off due to GCC bugs. After recompiling with optimizations enabled, and maybe after swapping in newer versions of the RSP microcode, my guess is that further improvements to CPU efficiency would have very limited returns.
Sure but if you're a business that either purchased tens of millions of dollars of commercial real estate for your office, or are on the hook for a multi year, multi million dollar lease that doesn't look great on the balance sheet or to investors to have useless assets.

And there's not much you can do to even that out when the price of commercial real estate is dropping significantly.

I'm definitely not saying it's right, IMO it's a sunk cost and businesses need to plan for the future accordingly (even if it means unloading those assets at a loss).
Those improvements are the transfer of existing motor innovation to cars or improvements to supporting technology.

Why is it a gotcha? These kinds of treaties in general only care about the 'feelings' of nation-states, not individuals. The rule exists because countries often have some say in whether to extradite, and they make that decision based on known facts.

In this case, it's a statement from the US to the Bahamas about what they intend to do to SBF once he's in custody. If the US then goes on and punishes SBF even harder than what they originally told the Bahamas, the Bahamas might feel lied to. Think of it as a "we wouldn't have extradited if we knew he was facing the death penalty" kind of scenario. This rule thus exists to give the Bahamas a chance to remedy that.
It's the same as why economy class is uncomfortable: it's manipulation through misery but upgrade vs. increasing resignations.
This is simply not true. The Obama administration passed new rules in 2015, but the courts issued an injunction and they never took force. Then the Trump administration then passed new rules in 2020, which were overturned by the courts the next year. Finally, the Biden administration reset to rules to what they were before 2015. Sackett v. EPA was regarding those older rules.

Furthermore, the Supreme Court ruling in that case invalidates every interpretation of the CWA that both EPA and the US Army Corp of Engineers have had going back to it's inception in 1972.
From what I recall, caffeine app predated the caffeinate command (which was only introduced in lion). Caffeine.app also disables sleep via a completely different method than caffeinate. The latter uses a IOPMAssertion which is the recommended way to do it because it is visible in `pmset -g assertions` whereas the former doesn't use that approach (I forgot how exactly it did it, there's like 4 different methods on osx to prevent sleep).

It seems more along the lines of a "headless CMS", which is basically just extensible CRUD often with API endpoints; compare it to Strapi. This one looks finished enough to play around with at least.
I think that is the wrong way to think of it.

Remote work has a short-term advantage in that your workers will be more productive (according to the author) so you'll get more done, and also it is a nice perk to offer recruits.

That sounds like a no-brainer for startups who are thinking about an exit that is a few years away. They don't have to worry as much about attrition, hiring is more focused on senior eng (in my experience), and given the relatively lower cash comp they are trying to find cheap perks.

For the BigCos of the world though, it is different. They have an established business that is probably profitable and they need to cycle in junior engineers and train them to make up for retiring/leaving senior engineers. For them, mentoring is more important than IC productivity.

None of this is to say that the author is wrong, because they are arguing that you can have the best of both worlds by adopting a hybrid mentoring model that they are selling.
So it would be more like 46 hours to train GPT-3 from scratch.

> I had recently had tore down my broken PSVR which has the very nicely stamped ARM M1 in it.

I don't think that's correct. The Cortex-M1 is an soft-core-only design; there's no hardware implementation. (And moreover, the ARM cores used aren't usually part of the external markings on a chip.)

What chip were you looking at? I don't see anything which looks like that in the iFixit teardown: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/PlayStation+VR+Teardown/6934...
In my experience, both EVs and (many/most) smaller volume high efficiency vehicles are not easy for 3rd parties to do service on. An inline-6/V6/V8 is relatively straightforward and there are great 3rd party mechanics everywhere. Going to a dealer for these kinds of vehicles is just asking to get ripped off. When you get into EVs, or even complex fuel efficient 4-cylinders, the complexity and proprietary nature of many parts makes independent service difficult, specialized, and expensive.

With something like a Prius, you have such wide adoption that everyone knows how to work on them. When you have something like a Tesla, let alone a lesser known EV, independent shops can burn a dozen hours just getting up to speed on the car. And they literally may not be able to get the part, either because of some rights/IP/vendor lock in or because the part just stopped being made.

In some ways, the cars made from 1980 to 2010 are the easiest to service. You've got a lot of simple engine designs. Well understood, high parts availability. Not a lot of screens or software that isn't 100% critical for car functionality. I don't think you are going to see too many cars made today that are still running in 10-20 years honestly. Even with the greater increase in overall reliability for electric cars, the failures are often catastrophic or nearly so because everything is so integrated. It's like a MacBook Pro—almost any failure is going to run you at least 1/3rd the value of the machine.

I have some bias based on my age, but I feel like the most reliable cars were the well built vehicles in the late 90s, early 2000s. Hondas, Toyotas, the Crown Vic, and various other Ford trucks. The "simple" V6/V8 BMWs and Mercedes from this era were also incredibly well/over engineered. I don't see anyone making EVs today even attempting to do something like that anymore.
Yes.
