> When I asked him about this accident, I brought up this specific point - the mechanical non-linkage. Sure, the Airbus is fly by wire (there are no "mechanics"), but you can still program one joystick to mimic the other joystick, right?

That's come up at least twice in NTSB ship accident reports. Some ships have more than one control station. This is usually to allow driving from a control station out on a bridge wing, where the pier can be seen clearly. A high speed ferry plowed into a dock in New York City in 1993 because of confusion over which station had control. "The NTSB concludes that the propulsion control system on the Seastreak Wall Street used poorly designed visual and audible cues to communicate critical information about mode and control transfer status."[1]
Big throttle levers at each station, but only the ones at one station at a time did anything. The levers did not move together.

The U.S. Navy went all the way to touch-screen throttles. After a collision involving confusion over which of three control stations was driving, they're going back to big handles.[2]

The Airbus system has been criticized, but it's two people sitting side by side. The ship systems have control stations much further apart.

Wrong. Putting you in the situation where you have to go to court to defend yourself from an illegal clause is screwing you. And the assumption that just because one court say "that's wrong" automatically means the one your litigating in will too is comically bad.

The legal system isn't a computer that has deterministic outputs.
Yeah, its not so much a game of "don't use the branch predictor". Its more so a game of "definitely use the branch predictor, but eliminate unnecessary branches so that the branch-predictor can be used on more important parts of your code".

I don't think people realize how much branch predictor + Out-of-Order + superscalar builds and combines with each other to build modern CPUs. Its done this way for a reason.
> One thing that stands out to me is the incorrect use of the word "law" when referring to flight modes. Is this just a bad translation? Are any native French speakers familiar with the Airbus documentation able to comment if the concepts make more sense in French?

The word "law" can mean several things depending on the context and it's not uncommon to hear of a system following some subset of rules as operating under a certain "law".

If it's more palatable, you can `s/law/mode/g` even though you may technically have a few different possible modes under some higher "law/regime" [0]

Can you imagine verbally trying to tell someone your new subdomain from these guys?
> although obviously things like "Sure! Happy to help" do not help.

Yes you're right. I'm mostly concerned with the text that actually "computes" something before the actual code begins. Niceties like "sure! happy to help" don't compute anything.

CoT indeed works. Now I've seem people take it to the extreme by having tree of thoughts, forest of thoughts, etc. but I'm not sure how much "reasoning" we can extract from a model that is obviously limited in terms of knowledge and intelligence. CoT already gets us to 80% of the way. With some tweaks it can get even better.

I've also seen simulation methods where GPT "agents" talk to each other to form better ideas about a subject. But then again, it's like trying to achieve perpetual motion in physics. One can't get more intelligence from a system than one puts in the system.
Not OP, but more specifically, if the most experienced flight officer didn't leave the cockpit just as they were flying into the worst part of a storm and left the matter to the reluctant and nervous junior officers.
It absolutely will. They will not be able to participate in almost all modern social interactions. Like, yeah, they will be able to talk to their friends, but only when at school and at sleepovers.

And even then, being excluded from having normal access to a phone still isolates them from "normal" people. Everyone pulls out their phone and all the phoneless person can do is either sit there in jealous silence like a loser or try to get everyone to stop playing on their phones when they're around them (also like a loser).

Overall not an ideal situation.

Microsoft did not face a court order, if they did they would surely immediately comply. They faced a seemingly fraudulent DMCA takedown notice, as takedowns are not designed to target circumvention tools.

They did a good thing restoring youtube-dl, but I'd hardly say it puts them in "freedom fighter" territory, more so compared to Uberspace who are actively fighting for youtube-dl.
The definition of a native species is one that arrived without human intervention. You are correct that animals migraine all the time.

Insects can travel accross oceans under certain favorable wind conditions. I live in an island nation, New Zealand, and insects from Australia show up every so often after getting blown here. They usually don't establish themselves as the conditions are not right for them to thrive.
I'm generally pretty easy on the commentators in sports as I think it's an incredibly difficult job that isn't often recognized, but yes, Apple's soccer commentators are noticeably terrible. As an MLS fan I rarely like the American (as in from the US) soccer commentators in general but the ones Apple hired are so heavy handed yet clumsy.

Also- Messi isn't objectively the best ever to play the game, so that was odd how often it was stated lol
I would rather just use a public key. No need for an entity (no matter how benevolent) to manage my identity for me.

In terms of the vibe that something gives off, stuff is usually "cooler" when it seems like you didn't care that much. A random pubkey is as care-free as it gets.

Because I don't think it's particularly feminist to force both parents to work.
This is like saying strip clubs shouldn't need to ID minors attempting to enter the building i.e. parents should be fully responsible for restricting a minor's access strip clubs. I think it's reasonable to conclude strip clubs also bear a responsibility to prevent minors from entering. This is just the porn industry shirking its responsibility.
The story about the Vancouver Stock Exchange's rounding error deleting half the value of the exchange over time and then being undone in a day leaves me with so many questions. Who gained and who lost from the fix? How did peoples' behavior change thereafter?

It seems like an avionics warning—“conflicting control input” or the like—would go a long way here, and not change anything fundamental. Maybe Airbus implemented that since?
The challenge for me with this sort of thing is that there is no formal definition of the terms.

It seems set up to recruit people who may think they are cofounders, to work for free. But is there a written agreement about what exactly they own?

If you are just getting volunteers they may not be the best fit, but still better than trying to do everything on your own. In which case, what do you do, just kick them to the curb if you start making money or get investment? That would be entirely unethical if you had led them to believe that they were cofounders.
But SSRIs do work. Experiment often proceeds theory. Uncertainty about the exact mechanism doesn't change the fact that SSRIs reduce symptoms of anxiety and major depression symptoms in many people. They have drastically improved my life and the lives of many family members and friends.

I see a lot of similar guideline comments of no screen time etc. While I agree and follow the same general advice of no screen or only supervised by me in person, I do think I am a bit of an hypocrite. Ever since I remember I watched cartoons on any available time I had. I always enjoyed the computer as well. I started by playing games when I was 6 but that was the start of the career I have today. Meaning: I watched lots of tv and lots of computer and I turned out fine, so why make such a fuss about it? Also HN is quite a bubble in this matter. I literally do not know any parent as strict as I am with tv or electronic device. Most of my parent friends tell me I am going full taliban, as they too had screen time and are functioning individuals.
All this to caution that HN might not be the most diverse place to get opinions nor they seem to be optimising for something that actually matters as evidence by much proof to the contrary.
Are the "security updates" really required?

Let's say you are running Ubuntu 20 with nginx simply hosting some static websites, and you let it run for 5 years without any updates.

Are there vulnerabilities so big found with the OS or very popular software (like nginx) that they could compromise your server and give root access?

You can buy invites to private trackers too. You can buy ratio - the ability to download more. It's complicated.

The difference is you've never heard of the private trackers. (Edit: it turns out the poster is in private trackers.)

One thing's for sure: Congress has completely abrogated its role in resolving these matters to everyone's liking.

Like piracy exists, massive piracy, de jure, that's the status quo, it would be extremely reductionist and flawed to be like, "Well piracy is illegal." Like every person you like has probably pirated something, something expensive. I bet one of your favorite professors or TAs has probably copied a book for people: they're facilitating piracy. Something something log in your eye.

I'm not saying you're wrong or right or whatever. I'm saying every meaningful IP related question nowadays requires years of courtroom litigation to Just Get a Fucking Answer. It's chaos.

Hotel: Show up, sleep, watch TV, shower, use toilet, pay bill, leave. 99% that's it.

AirBNB: All those, plus clean up, worry about neighbors, half the time it's more expensive than a hotel, with a better chance of spy cameras.
on my firefox it didn't work, just keep asking to connect a security token, with no other option. Firefox 116, Ubuntu 20.04, had an Yubikey in the past, never used passkey.

I think it's asking for the old yubikey, but neither the site nor firefox give me other option or a link about what to do.
Not very amazing, really.

You used to watch video all the time without downloading it - over TV, the theater, etc. Some people see video playing on a computer and assume it must work exactly like something they grew up with.

> Imagine playing a Zelda-like game where it turns out that 0.0001% of the time, the item you need to make progress is stuck behind a wall where the player can't reach it.

The very concept of "an item you need to make progress" is an artifact of a non-procedurally generated, railroaded plot. And even if your procedurally-generated game includes such things, it's a solvable problem to make this basically never happen.
100% this. I got MLB.tv free via T-mobile. It's not even worth the effort to figure out how to VPN out my AppleTV. I've watched 1 Mariners game this year, and it was because it was on Apple's Friday Night series.

Whaddya know, make it easy to consume content, and people consume it.
Yeah hard to automate, but that’s why we built the UI to give the controls to everyone to make it as elaborate and high quality they want.

Thanks for kind words!
If the NHL looked toward Apple during the next cycle, I would be ecstatic as long as they kept the local broadcasting crews. No blackouts, added content, and significantly higher streaming quality.

Sometimes I feel as if I need 10 different subscriptions to watch a single NHL season.
Why do you assume your examples didn't pass the high bar I mentioned?

Don't pretend that the cigarette labeling was as simple as this bill. That was an incredibly complex process that took decades.

Restricting what can be said is not the same as forcing speech. (This is in reference to your FDA comment which is a different topic)

You added more examples all of which have significant effort and legal backing to their enforcement.

Most notably most of those examples come from working with the industry to create standards for safety.

All of them were developed working with the impacted industries and had solid justifications for why the labelling requirement is needed.

Especially anything involving natural gas. If you fuck up the natural gas line going into your house that doesn't just impact you it impacts anyone within several hundred yards of your house.

Similarly electrical requirements are either the federal government giving away access to a public good (frequencies of light for exclusive use) in exchange for certain restrictions on devices or electrical things that are quite dangerous again.

Actual proven safety is different than "I decided it was harmful" and pretending that they are the same is ignorant at best.

This should be less frequent and IMHO, under many circumstance, you are protected by consumer law (citation needed). You also have more freedom when picking the domain name (fuckmicrosoft.co is less than 2$ on GoDaddy, but good luck trying to get fuckmicrosoft.github.io).

Also one issue that I neglected to raise is this can be very unstable. If some scammer/malware use your service (I know that you have a review process, but you still won't know for sure), Google SafeBrowse may mark your whole domain as harmful. I don't know if you have a contingency for this, but you need one in place.
There's an ever increasing number of settings I need to change every single time I install firefox. For example network.security.banned.override allows connections to ports firefox blocks by default. I also disable things like prefetch/seer, service workers, WebRTC, autorefresh, normandy, experiments, shield, redirects, searching from the address bar, autoplay, webgl, webassembly, autofill, fingerprinting (battery level, network info, etc), mathml, Beacon, SVG, casting, and of course the recent forced pop-up ads for their VPN service (browser.vpn_promo.enabled).

Well, it's awfully creative of you to frame warnings, that manufacturers are forced to print, as a "restriction" of speech.

> I inevitably end up calling out their bullshit and/or start seeing the pointlessness of it all

The fundamental point to keep in mind is that it does not matter. The only thing you are entitled to in a corporation is your salary. Interesting projects and things making sense all over are just side perks. They are very nice perks, I have to say, but they don't pay your rent or put food on your table.

Keep this is mind and life will get easier.
It isn't usable if your goal is to take the open source project and turn it into a component of your own commercial product that is for sale and is closed-source.

But I think more than half of the people in this thread have the opposite opinion (that if it isn't open source, it isn't usable) and I tend to agree with that.

Ask HN: For non-native English speakers, in which language do you think?
I am a Portuguese speaker working in an English speaking environment. I have came to the conclusion that in order to think better and faster in my daily work life, I would have to re-learn new concepts in the "English part" of my brain, i.e., bring the programming synapses closer to the English language synapses.

But I am finding it quite hard, as all other aspects of my life are "attached" to the Portuguese language. I wonder how people that have English as second (or third, fourth, etc.) think.

This question is usually useful when reading new docs or learning new concepts.
I think the Iroquois were mostly associated with longhouses, not huts.
You seem to think that because they give 10 books a day, somehow charging for the 11th onward doesn't make it a commercial operation? And yes, I think that if you're going to be hosting material in violation of copyright distributing it for free (or asking for voluntary donations) is the only remotely ethical way to do it. Otherwise, you're illegally profiting off of other peoples work.

"Narrowlink and Tailscale are two open-source solutions with different architectures that enable secure remote access and connectivity across networks."

The opening statement of this document is misleading and indicative that the author isn't really aware of what is open source and what isn't. A more appropriate comparison should be between headscale and narrowlink.
EnvKey (https://www.envkey.com/) is another OSS alternative to Vault with a bit more focus on security (disclaimer: I'm the founder).

We have a comparison with Vault here: https://www.envkey.com/compare/hashicorp-vault/

We'll probably write up a comparison with Infisical soon as well but I'd say the main thing is that our end-to-end encryption has no opt-outs (as Infisical does for many of its integrations), and we use native apps and a CLI rather than offering a web UI. End-to-end encryption in a web browser offers minimal security benefit for reasons discussed in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21838795 (the discussion is from 2019 and the original NCCGroup link from 2011 is now dead, but all the same issues still apply).

Also, I'm not sure if this has been addressed yet, but it has previously been noted that Infisical was completely lacking in automated tests. EnvKey has an extensive test suite ( core tests here: https://github.com/envkey/envkey/tree/main/public/app/tests and tests for all our sdks are included in each: https://github.com/envkey/envkey/tree/main/public/sdks).
I don't know, but it would be really great if you could do

And have everything installed exactly as it would be if I had installed everything in 2011-01-01 after running `apt update`.

I think this is basically what Nix is?!

Wendelstein 7-X: Gigajoule energy turnover generated for eight minutes
I don't know that I'd extrapolate much from the insecurity of cubesats being run by university research teams to commercial satellites. There is already another person here claiming they worked on these and they have better security. I worked for the NRO for a long time and there is no way in hell anybody was ever going to hack any of the US spy satellites or GPS satellites. You'd have to go past the heat death of the universe to crack the encryption. It's theoretically possible to take over a ground station, but they're air-gapped, so you're not doing it remotely, and they're located in SCIFs on US military installations, which, putting aside what you may have seen on the X-Files or a Mission Impossible movie, aren't actually that easy to infiltrate. I recall my wife working on experimental aerial surveillance radar for the US Navy years back, and one of the testing sites had some AT&T contractors (probably accidentally) dig a little too close to the network fiber backbone and an unmarked black SUV showed up to take them to God knows where within two minutes.
As long as the watch time doesn't drift drastically, does it really matter? Set it once from your atomic source and it will be fine for seconds accuracy. It's not like you're going to be doing the timing for the LIGO experiment or similar with this watch.

But to directly answer your question, since this board exposes some GPIO and digital buses there's no reason you couldn't built a GPS receiver add on that reads the atomic time from GPS satellite signals and sets the watch time. It would be extra bulk and battery drain of course.
With more research we understand better the effects this stuff has on human mind. It’s only logical we look at it differently. Same with the cigarettes.
