SQL pretty printers have probably the widest variety of possible "pretty" options to support. I've seen so many disagreements over the years on how the right way to print SQL is. For instance, I've gotten huge fights by saying that I prefer "Sentence case" (example: `Select * from someTable where someId in (select otherId from otherTable)`; only "top-level" introductory keywords get a single capital letter to make them easier to scan for like you are reading prose, kind of, and no semicolons unless entirely required such as the termination of a Merge statement) versus how many people still seem to be telnetting their SQL in 2023 from terminals or punch cards that mandate shouting SQL keywords in all caps everywhere.

(ETA: Being a big fan of Merge statements for a bunch of ETL trivia is partly how I got to "Sentence case". Merge statements are tough to read at the best of times and eliminating extraneous casing changes as noise by using more lower-case than not was a very useful thing to me. I don't need to highlight keywords versus everything else in a modern syntax highlighting bath, so casing becomes useful for way finding. A lower-case "select" is in the middle of something else.)

It goes away on my Subaru (admittedly an older 2018) but it does obscure the rear camera. So if I want to start the car and back up immediately after, there's a delay. It's not painful, but I have gotten into the habit of using the mirrors instead, and the camera + sensor is very useful so I should not be doing that.
> Morally culpable, but also defensible since you’re defending yourself from others in large cars. Don’t hate the player. Hate the game.

This might be morally defensible for players making equal trades between protection for themselves and protection for others, but at some point this is clearly no longer the case. For example, most people would agree that killing 1000 people to save your own life is bad. If players aren't even bothering with this calculating the tradeoff between more protection for themselves and less protection for others -- and I think most people who protect themselves with large cars have not done this calculation -- then yes, it's fine to cast aspersions.

According to this post from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety [1] (which I think is reliable?), going from a 2023 Prius (~88 square feet) to a 2023 Toyota Sequoia (~116 square feet) reduces car driver deaths from 47 per million vehicle years to 26. This seems, uh, fairly low down on the list of interventions your median SUV-driver could take to reduce their mortality, and it's made at a cost to other people, since "light trucks" (like SUVs, trucks, and vans) increase pedestrian fatalities by somewhere north of 50% [2, third page].

At some point, you're just being lazy, which you have a right to do, but I don't think it's particularly defensible.

I'm curious the actual mechanics of this operation. The main primary-source I found is a Telegram post of an Aeroflot pilot memo [0], but this only discusses the side-effects of reverser only braking, not the mechanics of "disabling the brakes."

There is a possibility the brakes are still available and not worn through, and this is a preemptive measure to leave enough brake material to handle an emergency rejected takeoff while avoiding "unnecessary" braking on landing by using the reversers instead. It's still ridiculously dangerous and bad, of course, but a different situation from "they're running the aircraft with no brakes."

I still run the i7-2600k which I purchased new along with the ASUS P8P67 Deluxe motherboard in 2011 (maybe 2012?). It's been overclocked and water cooled from the start, I believe somewhere in the neighborhood of 4.5 or 4.7 GHz, and despite updating my RAM and GPU during that time, I have had practically zero issues whatsoever with the CPU and motherboard. It's certainly not very performant when compared to newer generations of Intel CPU, but for a little bit of gaming here and there I really can't complain!
I don’t speak russian, would you mind pointing out the relevant part of that article that inverts the claim of disabled brakes?

> Most microkernels are small enough to fit in the L3 cache

Is that important, though? As soon as you start processing any meaningful amount of data, won't your OS be evicted from the cache anyway?

> unless you are compiling your kernel specifically for your machine, your kernel is going to be a bloated compromise of the set of drivers that your system is most likely to see. That means that you will have dozens, if not hundreds of drivers compiled into your kernel which will never need to be used.

I'm not sure this is true. Device drivers are typically compiled as modules, which are only loaded into the kernel if needed. Common wisdom among Linux power users for the last decade or so has been that compiling your own kernel for any tangible performance/memory improvement is basically futile.

Are there exceptions to this that you are aware of, and can elaborate on?

A busy road in the downtown area of my city has been under construction for a while recently. It's entirely cut down on car traffic because all the cars are diverted, and what's really cool to see is there's been a significant bump in pedestrians in the area since the cars have left. When the construction hours end, the street is silent and clear and people are crossing between neighborhoods without any difficulty. Of course, because I live in the US, this is only temporary and once the road is "fixed", they'll allow the loud and dangerous cars to take it over once again. I do have some hope with lots of recent news around this topic that younger generations will fight to remove cars in unnecessary corridors.
The mechanical issues appear to me to be legitimate stumbling blocks.

The ownership model is surmountable. Make the battery a service. I pay $xxx/month or $xxx/mile to Battery Exchange Corp. which replaces my battery each time I “fuel up”. Maybe I do this routinely, or maybe I typically charge at home and do an exchange only when on long road trips.

As far as performance etc, surely the battery can track its health the way an iPhone measures battery health. Have specs for what a good battery is. But if Battery Exchange Corp. owns the battery, who cares? Corp. cares but it can figure this out, and maybe go after customers who destroy batteries (however this happens.)

A typical car owner is interested in transportation. He’s not interested in owning a battery and he’s certainly not interested in sitting around for half an hour waiting for a battery to charge during a road trip.

I’m not saying battery exchange would work, I just don’t think the ownership model is a difficult aspect of it.

How hard is it to manufacture an airplane brake? Surely Russia does have the required precision machining equipment and expertise. Of course a lot of that is being devoted to mass manufacture of weapons and other military equipment. I'm sure they can (and maybe in due time, they will) reroute some of those resources towards airplane parts.

In my opinion, Russia is sometimes a little slow to react, but once the shit hits the ceiling (aka things come to the attention of the top leadership) they fix their shit up pretty quickly.

Edit: don't wanna say it, but it DOES sound like Western propaganda. Unless I see planes falling out of the sky in Russia, I will not believe this is a big issue for Russia.
I suspect they can still use them in those situations, since there is very little wear just holding still.

The planes probably still have brakes, just the pilots are told not to use them when landing - this would make them last much longer, but still be available.
Let's take as a given that heavier cars are more dangerous to be around.

An individual who needs to commute by car has two options:

1) put themselves and their family in greater danger by driving a lighter car.

2) protect themselves and their family but increase total danger to society by driving a heavier car.

I am unconvinced that there is an obvious morally correct answer. What are one's moral obligations to themselves, their families, and their society? How are these prioritized?

You can't just say "don't drive lul". It's literally not an option. We should have better public transportation, but we don't.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with being furious at someone because you have to waste time dealing with their bad behavior.
I don't remember exactly, it's been 5 years, but I remember there were almost 4000 loops. The loom is a little less than a meter across, but most loop don't span the entire width of the loom, so half a meter per loop is a good estimate, which would yield 2 kilometers. I think that's only 20 euros worth of thread.

Similarly, assuming the average loop took me 10 seconds to do, that amounts to about 10 hours, and I do remember that the final step only took a day or 4, with a few hours of work every evening.
Should we believe whatever the Russian official source states though?
If they cannot fix the brakes, they probably can't fix anything else either. I smell an incident brewing...
It's not very responsive at all. Nor is it meant for this purpose. It's just a brake assist for use on the runway.

Also, reverse trust is hard to maneuver with considering you will immediately start reversing once you've stopped moving. Unlike a brake that has a stop as an "end state". If they really start taxiing using that it'll lead to collisions at least, I'm sure, because of unintended reversing.

It's a harebrained plan as presented here IMO.

But perhaps it's more nuanced? Just not using the brakes unless you really need them? This is what we used to do at the gliding club too, since brake pads are expensive and our runway was 5x the length needed for an unassisted rollout.

I don't think the margins are ever that high on airliners though... It still sounds very dangerous and has the risk of pilots getting confused.
It's more of a creeping normality [0] problem. Some cars get larger and people get accustomed to it, so it's hard to notice. Someone needs to point it out and from the reaction to this post, it seems that people are interested once it's pointed out to them.

> I think the more apples-to-apples comparison here would be a train without breaks, wouldn't it be

No. Not really. Russia has the means to produce brakes for their trains. They do not have the means to do the same for these airplanes.

So the reality on the ground is that the trains have brakes while the airplanes don't (or they have breaks but with rapidly aging out of compliance parts.)

I think that WarpStream relying on a proprietary metadata store isn't an issue for Jepsen tests. If I understand correctly, Jepsen tests treat the distributed databases (or logs like Kafka) pretty much as a black box. Jepsen tests introduce partitions and look for missing/unexpected items against the items that were acknowledged as written successfully by the system.

If you look at Kyle's blog post, https://aphyr.com/posts/293-jepsen-kafka, there is no mention of looking into a broker's storage or any storage for that matter.

Not at all. Thrust reversers, depending on engine model, can take a few seconds or more to engage, and the engines themselves can take even longer to spool up thrust from idle or to spool down when no longer needed.

The article IMHO does a great job breaking down the pixel arrangement, troubles with rasterization, how modern monitors basically cheat to get sharper text, and so on. TL;DR: VR/AR suffers greatly with text.

The only way Apple will potentially mitigate this will be via clever rendering tricks. But he is very likely correct: this will not be a replacement for monitors.
>Unless you're getting your electricity by burning rainforests, it seems better for the environment to avoid causing new chips to be made, by continuing to use old ones.

You're also paying for the extra electricity the old CPU uses out of your pocket, plus the extra time it takes to finish certain tasks, lowering your productivity loosing you money.

If you value energy efficiency and productivity, you can upgrade and flip the old CPU on the second hand market to someone for whom the energy efficiency and productivity gains are less important than using an old cheap CPU instead of buying a new expesnive one. Win-win.

>Once the hardware manages to catch up, is smaller, etc it feels kinda nieve to think that we would remain stuck to monitors for computing.

The friction of having to wear something on your head, along with the weight of the device will always make monitors a good option as they are very good at being 2D displays in the word.

Can you write an equivalent piece of code that shows why Rust wins here with more familiarity and leveraging the ecosystem? With compilers I don't think there is a huge amount of using the ecosystem.

The web is all about presenting information and having web _sites_. This idea removes both of those.
So? You just support my point. That is a factor of 100-1000 versus model parameter count, assuming that the training set has no redundancy whatsoever. Hence more likely a factor of 10-100.

People dont want to acknowledge that the LLM structure reflects rather closely what it is being trained on, but the incredibly large number of parameters suggests it is closer to a photographic fit than a true abstraction. larger models being more likely to memorize training data (Carlini et al., 2021, 2022)

The fact that the information gets mangled and somewhat compressed doesnt change this close relationship.

New products can be worse along most dimensions than the incumbent product except one. And if in that one dimension it's a 10x better solution to a new problem/job-to-be-done, then it is the beachhead in which the new product can stake their claim and become better and survive. Then it remains to be seen whether this beachhead grows or stays niche.

He may be technically right in all the way monitors are better than Vision Pro as a monitor for all the current use cases, but I don't think it's a forgone conclusions that they're not going to be monitor replacements.

That's so cool! Bioengineering things like that blows my mind. We (humanity) can take bacteria edit their DNA and make them produce all sorts of useful things. Enzymes, insulin, flavorings, colored dye. Some of that's old technology, too, it's just that petroleum based processes are cheaper that we use them instead of using bacteria for things.
And to keep memory usage under control, we restart the non-deterministic service every 2 days because we were too scrapy to clean up memory after using it.
