Because it makes no sense to assume that the pilots, at least one of whom presumably prefers to continue living, would just circle around to the point where the engines quit?

The pilots are in the same plane as you. They aren’t going to just let the plane run out of fuel because some person on the ground says “sorry, can’t land at this airport yet, hang out for awhile”.

If there was a real emergency they’d be putting the plane down on the nearest runway-shaped surface no matter what.

Further, I’d wager the pilot said something along the lines of “we have twenty minutes of fuel before we need to consider diverting to [alternate airport]” or something to that effect.
> If we're at the point where you need to get permisssion and approval to verify that the platform you're using is acceptable

I guess it has been the case from the good old CGI era? I do remember all those private forums that required me to wait for several days until they can "verify" my identity and "approve" my registration. The control always has been at the hand of platform. The difference is that now attacks are much more sophisticated (GPT-4 powered!), while defense line is left at a pretty miserable state.

No, and occasionally when HN servers are under strain, and Dang has suggested people log out in order to lighten the load, he has explicitly mentioned not forgetting your password, implying to me that normally people rarely log out or may even create long running throwaway accounts they don't know the password to (I've certainly done this). All that to say I think they would be reticent to force a logout.

I've long been a proponent of computing history as required part of CS.

Progress is supposed to work by standing on the shoulder of giants. But that only works if engineers are aware of what came before, how it worked, what was good and bad about it.

In the software world the same things are continuously being reinvented but the lessons of the past are not integrated because the inventors have no knowledge of the past 10 times the same thing was done. So every lesson has to be learned anew in production. That's not progress.

Is the alternative breeding millions of cows and pitting them against their natural predators, or leaving them to starve? If not, then I'm not sure what relevance the comparison has.
Yes I am referring to NMEA string usage because that's as good as you'll get if the PPS output is not connected. You don't strictly need a hardware disciplined oscillator solution, which is why I mentioned connecting to an interrupt pin. This has worked pretty well for me when making raspberry pis into stratum 0 NTP servers.
OpenBSD was also one of the first operating systems to disable hyper-threading by default due to all the related security issues with this technology. Yet another case of security over speed.

The I know it's on-vogue on HN to complain about academia, but the blog post is not making a good argument.

The post could have probably gotten the point across in less than 1/4 of the overall length (probably even less than 1/8th), instead the author wrapped the the post into lots of informalisms and a thinly veiled complained about academic publishing.

The result of this is reflected in the discussion here, nobody actually writes about the result/idea behind the post, instead we have ~200 comments discussing the merits of academic publishing vs blog posts and formal vs informal writing.

So I guess if you want to get your blog-post on the front page of HN it's a good writing style. If you want someone to consider and discuss the merits of your idea, maybe not so much.

A breaking change occurs if the function (before the proposed change) can be called in a way that doesn't crash (stop the program, or render it intoperable, or blow up at compile time or basically bring the show to a halt), and after the change, that call yields a different result or has a different effect or output.

We can divide those breaking changes into two:

1. The call obeys the specification.

2. The call, though apparently successful, circumvents the specification, relying on undocumented behavior.

The question is how much we care about 2, and there is no 100% answer.

There can be situation in which some kinds of 2 breakages are such that we care about them more than 1 breakages.

Suppose there is a certain correct, documented way of using the API, but almost nobody out there uses it that way. And suppose there is some undocumented way of using the API, which millions of installations use, thousands of times per second.

Suppose we need to implement something new, or even ore importantly, fix a critical bug, and suppose that the work boils down to either breaking one, or the other. It may be better to break the former to keep the latter working (and possibly elevate the latter to documented status).

In other words, in a perfect world we'd like to say that breakages of type 1 are non-negotiable, whereas 2 can be debated. But we can't even do that.

This excerpt from the article on Scott Alexander on RationalWiki is the only thing I need to quote to make others understand the stakes here.

>As usual, you can make anything worse by adding Reddit. /r/slatestarcodex is an unofficial fan forum for the blog. Scott comments occasionally and is a moderator. The culture wars (a regular weekly thread, until it was recently branched off to the Scott-endorsed /r/themotte) and pseudoscientific racialism of "human biodiversity" are regular and upvoted topics (literally advocating the Fourteen Words will get you 40+ upvotes[45] and admiring replies). Of course, much more offensive than the racism is objecting to the racism, which gets you a day's ban.[46] According to one moderator, "A belief in HBD doesn’t automatically equate to racism", somehow.

I also invite people to visit citations 45 and 46. The corresponding claims in the article might technically be true, but I think they're mislealding to say the least.

>when Apple tried to push a U2 album to them? They lost their collective shit

and that's exactly it. putting something in your music library is a hugely more visible and tangible thing than all the nebulous privacy concerns the internet wants me to be afraid of. nobody gives a shit if google or apple or facebook or whoever else introduces some techical measure that could be used for nefarious things. they only care if that api is actually used for nefarious things. as long as the argument is "well if google implements X, then it would potentially allow them to do Y*, that's a failing argument.

like it or not, people actually do trust the big tech companies. as long as they aren't actively abusing that trust in ways that people care about, things like "google wants to know if you're a real person or a bot" aren't going to cause a whole lot of outrage. most people can understand that letting fake people pretend to be real is bad, and that preventing that is probably a good thing.

From oracle, I only use an older version of Virtualbox and in cloud I only use their free VM tier (4 ARM cores & 12GB RAM) because it's the best current "permanent" offer out there. That said, I take care to not invest in to any of their specific cloud guff and just run my own or generally available software & OS on Linux VM's there, which is not too much work to migrate anywhere.

> iphones

As an ex-Android user who held out as long as I could: these aren't a Veblen good.

1. iphones aren't meaningfully more expensive than android alternatives, except at the very bottom of the market, and even then the difference isn't huge, even for lower income earners, when you finance.

2. There are actual product differentiators between Apple and Android. There are very real issues like privacy and app availability/quality; even when an Android version of an app exists, it's not always as functional.

3. But far more importantly, the newest range of Pixel phones are absolute garbage and barely work. After two top of the line androids in less than a year, I got sick of missing text messages and dropping phone calls because of shitty software. I was forced to switch to a (cheaper!) iphone.

> ...as soon as you hit the upper-middle class, these disappear in favor of the more practical/functional items of similar prices.

iphones are also an exception to this rule.
Perl has TIMTOWTDI as a core principle so most of its users are not going to complain about doing things the “wrong” way.
this argument is inadequate because it only examines and explains one side of a multi-part system. The users of consumer electronics as a mass at a point in time is not sufficient, even if well described, to explain important changes of the system over time.

When you talk about communications technology adopted at a societal scale, changes in norms and routine have ripple effects. Most certainly one of those is a change in asymmetric power relations by central communications companies, versus the user of their systems who get strictly limited information views of what is happening with their phone calls or emails.

When you have asymmetric power relations with market advantage and secondly literal surveillance at stake, a unilateral change in the service agreement is not a small "oh well" matter.

This single statement "people do not care" does not show all the players, and most especially does not show the players making decisions, the management of the companies making more money or new revenues with new decisions.
And what’s population vs. then?
Possibly the most important distributed systems paper to read, along with the rest of Lamport naturally.
In very layman's terms, I've long viewed the original design as the wanting a educated, trained, and armed citizenry that could actually be trusted to act like adults. If needed they could form militias or even organized armies, but the default state is a nation of adults largely just living out their lives with as few government interventions as possible.

We've since destroyed that goal. Our education system is trash, we don't train our citizens how to take care of or defend themselves, and the gun debate has largely devolved into "no one should have guns because we have cops and armies for that" versus "I have a right to bear arms so I can keep this oppressive government in check"
Not sure about the statistics, but an anecdote for me: I had a specific programming issue at work I need to solve, and I tried googling for answers in Stack Overflow. There are some answers but ultimately none of what I found can actually solve my issue. Then I ask ChatGPT to suggest a solution, and in about 5 seconds it gave me an answer. Not perfect, but with little editing it is solved.

Now I'm sure that ChatGPT probably scraped StackOverflow, perhaps using the very same answers I got from StackOverflow, but combined with other answers from other sources resulting in the instant answer. That does not necessary mean AI will replace StackOverflow, it just means that people wouldn't ask redundant questions in StackOverflow anymore, just questions that AI can't solve.

"per capita"

Being as good as WW1 is a positive because the USA's emission peak was quite a lot higher still in the 1970s (per capita), I don't think this was criticism necessarily.

What surprised me, what I didn't know, is that the USA has been one of the highest for so long actually, starting to be worse than what most of the EU is today (~10t CO2e/capita/year) already in ~1903 and remaining that way even during the great depression. Being back to 1915 levels is not that bad with that kind of history (of course, until the ~1990s at the earliest, nobody knew this was an issue so no blame/fault for that era).

I'd not be surprised if people who are extremely intolerant of astrology have much lower emotional intelligence than people who believe in astrology.

In contrast, I prefer starting the kernel on a cpu that doesn't have known microcode bugs, which implies doing the upgrade earlier, be it in firmware or bootloader.

Fortunately, fwupd, together with UEFI capsule, can make upgrading firmware very easy and safe.

Ideally, a CPU wouldn't have to get that many microcode updates anyway.
My understanding is there are international agreements (eg Hague Convention) when serving civil court documents to someone in another sovereign nation like Australia.

I think you are still not understanding what an opinion piece is?

It’s fine that you weren’t persuaded by it - maybe it was a poor argument, or maybe you weren’t the target audience, or maybe you’re totally hidebound in your thinking and perfect rhetoric wouldn’t have moved your opinion in the slightest. Could be any or none of the above, and again, that’s OK!

But at the end of the day, the author is under no obligation to state his opponents’ points for them.

JFC, yes you do.

The plane did not run out of fuel. If the plane had run out of fuel, the flight crew would have prepared you for a potential crash landing. There would be no question whatsoever. It would have made national news. The plane and crew would have been grounded pending investigation by the airline and the NTSB, and not gone on to resume its journey shortly thereafter. Hell, everything else aside, it would have sat dead on the runway, unable to taxi, while passengers disembarked on the inflatable slides.

Your plane had plenty of fuel. It followed established procedure where they waited for as long as they could, diverted when the fuel situation warranted a change of plans, and landed at the alternate airport with more than enough fuel for at least one go-around and likely two.

Microsoft fully understands how valuable VS Code is and they are doing everything they can to keep developers interested, which is shaping its evolution.

You can't blame this on the math or transformers though. This is the thing about statistic, - the datasets have a tendency inherited from the human perception and biases. You can actually spend some time and money to analyze the LION 5B dataset to find out how homogeneous it is. People create photos and tag them, however small the bias in initial data is, it will be exposed by the NN, because it is more probable.
As an aside: I do a lot of numerical research and have mainly been using python with Jax due to how trivial it is to run my code on the GPU with Jax. However, I’ve gotten increasingly fed up with Python as a language and Julia is basically my ideal language, feature wise. Do you think it’s worth the switch and, if so, is it easy to run stuff on the GPU these days? Last I checked it still required some care to do that.

> it might be that the model trains all of the inputs to become very negative

It still can't do this because of L2 regularization / weight decay. If two vectors are norm 1, their inner product is at least -1, so with 2000 vectors that's still 2000 * e^(-1) =~ 735.

Not saying it's theoretically impossible that it could happen. But you would have to try _really_ hard to make it happen.

It really says numbers like 151/168 hairs/cm2? That sounds way higher than native, non-balding density of the human scalp. I think most people have like 100/cm2 tops. You will not be visibly balding until you get to around 40/cm2 or so. Depends on hair calibre too.

In any event, +18/cm2 is actually a good amount in terms of cosmedic effect.

> zero chance the "other side" woke up one day and decided to be evil. But that's how this article frames the situation

I don't think it does.

The majority have priorities, which they doubtless see as morally-upstanding ones, that they want to pursue unchecked. They are giving themselves that liberty. Majoritarianism is a known failure mode of democracy; Israel appears to have a majority that believes their winning elections lets them overrule checks and balances.

The suspicion, reasonable enough, given the majority's fundamentalist voter bloc, is this unchecked power will be used to overrule minority rights.
The only way this gets fixed is if enough people get put through the wringer through no fault of their own and they finally start demanding politicians to do something about it.
Which, to put in perspective, is 25% higher than the UK (industrial revolution starter and all that) has ever been. The EU-27 average is lower still, but not every country had its peak at the same time so that makes sense.

How is this, conceptually, any different from sites that used to block IE out of spite?

I don't agree with doing that either, but whereas things like changing UA headers/page-rewriting proxies would easily get around that sort of discrimination, this is now cryptographically secure.

Governments are scared of encryption because it could be used against them. The population should've realised the same could also apply to them, because it is now actually happening.
