So you have to inspect the plane to make sure that stealth isn't compromised. How long does an inspection take? How often do they have to fix scratches?

The only long maintenance mentioned there is the washing of the plane every 3 months. It takes them 2 days by hand (even though some do it with a machine?) and this is mostly to maintain stealth.

Maybe I have a different definition of what "extensive" means, but this doesn't sound like "extensive overhaul after every flight".

I'll leave the discussion after this comment. We're just guessing here and going nowhere.
I don't believe this is true. If it is, provide a source.

It is absolutely a lie that corn syrup is better for you than aspartame. That is absolutely 100% false.
The stuff I've seen about LVT is that it's supposed to replace all other taxes with it, as opposed to taxing income/work and property (making improvements on the land, making it and nearby land more valuable).
Much like Theranos, basic immutable laws of nature make the whole idea absurd. Namely, that it requires a ton of energy to keep an object aloft.

It's just wildly inefficient, and will never see serious usage outside of tiny niches. Not until we get science fiction antigravity or tiny fusion reactors or something.
Well, he has a son who has made three movies so far, with mixed success (although I did like Tales from Earthsea).

(CEO of Neon). There is a TL;DR: of this blog post: https://twitter.com/nikitabase/status/1680636526823370752
My point when I mentioned rolling-release was that I’m very unsure whether they need Enterprise Linux and a bout of desperate firefighting every several years or a rolling-release distro and a small but respected team with a staging environment and a steady supply of handheld fire extinguishers.

I could be convinced the former were the answer in many cases, but I’ve never seen the argument for that move beyond a bare proclamation like you’ve just made. It may also be that the argument for this is so mired in the particulars of a situation that it essentially can’t be articulated, but for me that’s mutually exclusive with it applying to a broad, vaguely defined classes of deployments like you’ve just done. (A complex argument is bound to produce an intricately shaped class.)

My (admittedly theoretical) fear in my initial comment was that the LTS people read about kernel updates every month, think of the breakage their LTS encounters on every kernel update, and nope out. Yet without the humongous pile of backported patches the LTS requires kernel updates are the most benign thing in the world if you can afford the reboots—a decade of them with literally not a single issue can and does happen.
Sort of...
But Firefox is open source, so anyone can contribute. Mozilla accepted money from google to "just make google the default search engine".
But they also accept contributions in programming (its open source after all) from google, Microsoft & others employees.

The google/Microsoft contributors whether working after hours or as part of their employment have some influence in the direction of Firefox.

That may be deliberate or benign (a really good direction by google, in a workers mind, will bias their thinking in other projects and visa versa)

That is one disadvantage of open source. A foundation can't avoid that unless you setup like Greenpeace and don't give the riff raff any real say.

Firefox users are "captured" by any adds on google search even though they may advertise chrome.

People that comment here are interested, most users of browsers ARE NOT. It is so much easier to use the default. Google knows this, Twitter knows this.

One of the more brilliant ideas in Firefox was containers, chrome could not implement them because of architectural constraints but rather than build on that beautiful idea, Firefox went in a slightly different direction that Chrome & Edge could follow and still protect their advertising revenue.
> complain about `err != nil` after all

Not to nitpick this specifically but as a generic reminder not all complaints are worthy of shifting the trajectory of a massively popular programming language.

Balancing "worthy" and "unworthy" changes is really hard both in the community and discussions like this one. I don't envy the teams that have to do it.
It is overwhelming your work capacity that really leads to injuries. Form doesn't matter for that.
A lot of people running on prem k8s clusters have block storage. When I worked on open shift it wasn't uncommon for people to run databases in the cluster, backed by their block storage.
This is nonsense. Blaming it on US policy is insanely narrow, and ignores years of colonial interest from almost every European nation.

Apple/Safari cannot seem to distinguish my various AWS Cognito identities from one another. Never stopped to look into it, but Firefox and Chrome seem to have no problem understanding the difference between xxx.awscognito.com and yyy.awscognito.com.

Which is to say, I doubt I'll be using it in Chrome.
They used stack overflow to make their case, and report that user engagement has gone down after the release of ChatGPT. Could it not be the case that SO is less adept at finding related/duplicate questions than ChatGPT? Given the later's facility with the language, I would expect it to be. So I look at the paper to see if they accounted for that, and find this.

"Second, we investigate whether ChatGPT is simply displacing simpler or lower quality posts on Stack Overflow. To do so, we use data on up- and downvotes, simple forms of social feedback provided by other users to rate posts. We observe no change in the votes posts receive on Stack Overflow since the release of ChatGPT. This finding suggests that ChatGPT is displacing a wide variety of Stack Overflow posts, including high-quality content."

Can anyone tell me how they are related and what it means?

PS: I also asked ChatGPT (4). Here's what it says https://chat.openai.com/share/7029a1e5-63d0-4cec-bf76-10b0b5...

Absolutely, 6 years with a 1.2mil grant is ridiculous. I was just hopeful that somewhere there were PhD students making enough money to live from research
> I doubt the development costs can be justified.

There is no other reasonable choice. Lead fuel has to go away simply because of the amount of lead that deposits all around GA airports.
No one uses PPP for measuring growth, GDP PPP can increase whilst your economy contracts.

PPP isn’t a good measure for population’s wealth or quality of life especially for developed economies either.

The economy of the US is still twice that of the EU and its global purchasing power has also pretty much doubled.

> But if the author of this thing thinks she can run a business on Main Street without parking, by all means, she should go and do that.

The whole point is that this is illegal. Let’s make it legal again and see what happens. :)
It is not a bad theory. The telecoms have been actively abandoning phone lines for years because it isn’t worth the cost for them to do so anymore, but they are still required to by law. Perhaps they think they can get the tear down and replacement with fiber subsidized.
I’d largely agree with that, though I originally meant the secret sauce that gets better results out of immigrants.

The effects of empire go far beyond military. The monetary dominance serves as a hidden tax on all other currencies as the US enjoys more money creation than other central banks can manage. The US prints and the world gets the inflation consequences. Plus the cultural dominance lets the US reshape the world economy, legal systems and behavior to suit the interests of US companies. And yes, there is massive political interference and an absolute fit when foreign governments don’t bend the knee.

Your big mistake here is to imply some kind of us vs them. Regular Americans are not laughing at you, they are under the same boot heel that you are. This whole system is for the benefit of maybe a few thousand or tens of thousands of incredibly rich and powerful people. They don’t care about the citizenship of of the people they are exploiting. Actually, people in the EU have done a better job fighting back for more comfortable lives for all. Working class Americans are a lost cause.
Oh my sweet summer child. There are plenty of enterprises still on RHEL 6, paying extra to keep patches coming. I bet there are still some on RHEL 5. Large, global companies. And of course there are many environments where software and hardware stay frozen for years. Telecoms, factory floors, automotive, finance, disconnected edge devices of all types... they test the absolute crap out of those systems, and pay for every certification availabl, and then leave them running for a decade.

The ability to stay abreast of major version updates is a wonderful attribute of many environments, but definitely far from all.
The focus should eventually be on building AI such that they can be given access to data and then independently figure out new and creative ways to use it, rather than requiring humans to figure that out for them and then narrowly define: do this thing with the data I've provided. Given the scale of the data, they'll be better suited to that approach if it's breakthrough outcomes that we want.
The injury rate for powerlifting (sport that does squat + deadlift + bench press) is extremely low, and those who do that as a sport are probably lifting way, way more than almost everyone reading these comments ever will.
Awesome, thanks for reporting that. I can replicate it so thanks for letting me know.
You deleted your other comment replying to me, I'm not sure why-- there was nothing wrong with questioning how I initially chose to respond, so I'll paste what I was writing back to you on that topic here:

Your original comment said 1) you didn't see an appeal for trust and 2) went on to make broader statements that trust isn't necessarily required when considering an opinion (on it's merits, independently of high/low trust, was my interpretation of what you wrote)

#2 Does not modify #1 in a way that would prohibit fair treatment of #1 when considering it alone. #1 is a straightforward question about the content of the article.

I didn't choose to address #2 because I agree, trust is not a requirement when considering someone's reasoning. In agreeing with you, there wasn't much for me to add.

I'd like to see someone try integrating them into the delivery trucks. Roof mount it, make it easy to load from the back storage area, and have it auto charge. That way drivers can choose to hand off smaller packages to it and launch when they are delivering close by.
> I’d like to point out that the open door policy to refugees came because Europe was trying to escape the demographic trap and the collapse of the social safety net.

Also, the US was bombing a couple of Middle Eastern countries then: creating the said refugees who could reach Europe on foot and/or boat, but not the American mainland .
Surprisingly, I still see them around in Berkeley. As a pedestrian they're a bit annoying underfoot but mostly harmless. As a potential customer, they're so slow and ineffective that I've never felt tempted to try them out. They're thoroughly dull even as a novelty.
I've never understood removing the Langerhans cells which could be protecting peoples lives.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5712534

Circumcision like Female Genital Mutilation is a form of trauma into submission, which perfectly demonstrates the main ideology of religions in order to maintain order when there would be chaos.

However as HIV uses Langerhan cells to infect the host, I've yet to find any evidence that circumcision protects against infection considering the distribution of Langerhan cells.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28433429

However whilst heterosexual people might think they are safe from infection, there is another attack vector on HIV's side, namely personal lubricants.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_lubricant#Risks

And lets not forget that the medical profession can identify and trace strains of virus as seen with covid, and bacterial infections can also be identified and thus traced, so the std sexual health clinics can work out who is shagging who and who is engaging in anal, but the front line staff probably dont know this, only the back orifice staff!

You're right, they probably do. They're pretty relieved that they don't have to govern (which is what they're doing, by the way) with any regard for anyone but their shareholders.
>I'm pretty sure the Firefox data is E2E encrypted. As in "If you forget your password, your data is gone."

The argument though is that it's not true E2E without the secure enclave. App data can be compromised in many ways. Apple goes to incredible lengths (including burning the root key which cannot be retrieved or reset from outside the enclave into the silicon during manufacturing with no way of them being able to tell what it is) to ensure a chain of trust from the point that anything physically enters the device.
Half of your cost is your $50k car choice, though, and doesn't include resale value of around $15k (I'm looking at 2013 highlander prices. It's probably more because you chose a bunch of upgrades, see below). Drops your yearly costs by $1.5k right there.

Get a reasonable car for $25k-35k and your costs drop significantly. Hell, your $50k number means you chose to have a bunch of upgrades. The base MSRP is $36k, and I'm seeing dealer advertised prices of $37k near me. I have to go all the way up to the "Platinum" tier to find $50k prices.
Profit = number of units sold * (sale price - cost to build unit) - upfront costs

Number of units sold has to be enormous to make a profit on low margin items.
The EU is an export-based economy, so that's great that people in the EU can drink cheaper beer and pay less in rent, but if they want to buy imports, they're absolutely poorer.

The article is interesting but feels a little too alarmist, like they're obviously trying to push a narrative, which makes me worry how factual it all is.

Like about the gas release at a US factory and the improper dosing of caffeine in the sunkist drinks, neither of which had anything to do with anything other than sounding vaguely evil.

Otoh, I never really considered the provenance of caffeine in soft drinks (I don't drink soft drinks), it's interesting to hear about it. Something similar is probably true for many chemicals.
There is a Gaston La Gaffe episode along those lines, where parking meters are equipped with fireworks when they expire they launch a rocket. This drives the local policemen bonkers because they are running from one end of the city to the other to try to keep up.
You say that "what really matters" is compound motions and reaching failure points, but there isn't any good evidence for that. If your goal is to get good at compound motion and reaching failure points, sure.

I like the punch cards idea.

If we take the un-punched card as baseline then we could say that all of the bytes 0x00 to 0xFF have negative weight except one. Presumably the 0x00 would be zero weight byte, as it damn well should! ;), and all of the other bytes would have various amounts of negative weights.

Now I want a punch card computer.
> Even if it isn't monetizeable IP, how to share the costs?

The internet started thanks to ample government funding for research. So have many other technologies, including AI.

I wonder if there's a way we could all somehow pool our resources and use that to pay for common goods that we all use. What would we call such a scheme?
> is not exactly like private

That seems like a straw man to me. He never said it was exactly equivalent - he said it provided encapsulation and isolation. 'private' is another language's mechanism which does that but they're obviously not identical.
1.9.1 was a version of Ruby that I used for awhile. Does this have some connection to that version, or is it an homage, or is it just a coincidence?

Posts like this horrify me. I’ve been an engineer for 19 years, and I’ve had 7 jobs in that time, from my very first job in 2004. I think there have been a total of 10 jobs I’ve ever interviewed for, 7 of them with offers that I accepted, 2 with offers I rejected or otherwise stopped the process early, and 1 single time I interviewed and didn’t get an offer. Basically my success rate is 90%… some of the jobs were from recommendations within the network of people I know, but many of them were cold.

But I haven’t been in the job seeking market in 6 years, being gainfully employed in my current role.

The idea of having a 1-2% success rate is terrifying. I don’t think I’d have it in me to press on. I’m used to employers rolling out the red carpet, and I really really don’t want to go back into the job market. Godspeed to anyone who’s going through this right now, you have a lot more guts than I got.
That's very broken; more usual practice at the time was to have large numbers of tests, aiming for good code coverage. I've sometimes seen too many full-tool tests and few true unit tests (tests that just test functions for correctness), but "maybe 10 tests" is frightening.
I don't have good answers. I have some high-level intuitions.

One of them is that creation costs of information are fixed, while its usefulness is unbounded, so it doesn't make sense to try and reward creators for each access/view/use, in perpetuity.

Secondly, there's a lot of information laundering going on - any random book I read carries between a few to few hundred references to prior written work. What I pay for the book goes to the author and the publishers, but AFAIK it doesn't go to any of the authors and publishers of works referenced in the book. Wikipedia takes this one step further, effectively turning all that information free.

Thirdly, AFAIK copyright explicitly does not cover information/knowledge - it covers specific works. So Google showing me an info box with a recipe scrapped from some site could technically fall afoul of the law - but an LLM generating me a recipe based on associations created from being trained on millions of recipes, this feels like it should be in the clear, at least from user's POV.

Isn't this flow what more ore less what you would expect? Could someone suggest what would be the appropriate alternative here?

- The inconvenience to the deactivated account is minor: one SMS verification code and the account is back, queued messages get received, etc.

- Persons who lost their phones probably don't have a good fast way of proving their identity, as their identity is tied to their phone number in WhatsApp's model.

- Needing to quickly lock out spammers, thiefs or hackers is probably far more frequent than abuse of this feature.

- If abuse of this feature becomes a recurring problem, I'd expect WhatsApp to react and adjust the flow to place more burden on its user.

The auto-delete part is slightly more worrying, but if you don't use WhatsApp during 30 days, your account and group membership probably isn't very precious. Backups are automated and separate. You can still easily re-create an account with the same number then.

The story might be "Apps should stop using SMS and phones numbers as the source of identity", and while I generally agree, most comments don't seem to be about this and WhatsApp is maybe _the_ one app whose success was based on this very idea.

My understanding is that modern hard drives all use probability and error detection/correction to convert a gooey analog signal into chunky discrete goodness.
True but irrelevant. According to the Supreme Court K-9 alerts are probable cause. He was observed based on AI, pulled over based on multiple traffic violations including changing lanes without signaling, illegally passing on the right, and driving 15 mph over the speed limit, then it was searched based on a K-9 alert. Unless the police are simply lying about the traffic violations and have no evidence to back them up, this guy is going back to prison.
