In this case - the plane was rapidly descending, and the pilots were completely failing to do anything to fix the situation.

Maybe at some point it became clear that the pilots were doing nothing to actually save the plane, and then the computer could have been justified in ignoring them, and trying to solve the problem itself?

> If you say 'The computer', I'll have to ask you: How well did that work out for the 346 people killed by Boeing's MCAS, which, thanks to a faulty sensor, was utterly convinced that the 737 was too nose-up, and happily flew the damn thing right into the ground.

Because the programming of that computer was criminally stupid. It continued making an assumption despite the fact that the other evidence it had available to it was sufficient to conclude the assumption was false, but it wasn’t programmed to consider any of that other evidence. That a computer with crap software kills people is a problem with that crap software (and the failed regulatory system that allowed it), and not evidence against any proposal not involving such software
Yeah, the Docker part makes sense. You don't need it, but it can be nice. Don't want mundane differences between devs' setups to get in the way, especially when they're not all the same OS.
As someone who maintains a couple of open source projects and tries to welcome external contributions, I can understand your frustration but I think complaining about getting no response after less than a week is also a bit premature. Yes, we should strive to respond as soon as possible, but you never know, it might be a very busy week for the maintainers, or they might be on vacation (it's August after all), who knows. Give them some time!

Briefly glancing at the GitHub project, it has 11 open PRs and 1035 closed ones, I think those are pretty reasonable stats :)
My friend has raised her daughter (8yo) virtually "mobile screen free" so far. Whenever we meet up for a meal out I often look around and see other kids transfixed with phones, wheres as my friends kid is fully engaged with us adults. To be honest it's fun playing childhood games I remember with her if she needs "distracting" while other adults might need to discuss something.
People like podcasts, because they are interesting stories told by humans. Good podcasts have a lot of creativity behind them. Your HN Recap podcast uses a bland voice that sometimes struggles with tech terms, and the auto-generated summaries often feature deep details and miss the intention of the story. Auto-generated content on YouTube is usually misleading spam, how will you prevent your auto-generated podcasts from flooding podcast aggregators with such content?

I was discussing with an older friend the other week, we stumbled on the realization (maybe it's obvious) that progressing up the well-being ladder means consuming more energy and CO2, compare living in an unelectrified village with bathing in the river, and just sitting around with your friends for entertainment; with a villa with a hot shower, TV, and food flown from all over the world.

We were also discussing about how sad it is that when he was a travelling young man, he could still visit the "authentic" places, i.e. places with huts and no electricity, paved roads, or cars, but as time goes on those places now have brick buildings, TV, air-conditioning and asphalted roads, which is what the people living there wanted and got.

Now the poorer people of the world are screaming about the rich west saying "You've enjoyed all the luxuries and now you want to make it more expensive because 'save the planet', the one you ruined gaining all those luxuries? Not with us!". Even the working class French screamed about proposed increase of gasoline taxes...

So in your ideal job you have no coworkers and no management/supervision, and no team meetings. What exactly would you be building where your independent/solo piece of work unlocks 10 customer deals if you have zero interactions with anyone at the company?

* Who is defining what needs to be done?

* Are you talking directly to customers to learn what they want, negotiate features and schedules, iteratively build it, get feedback and release?

* Are you working on their billing issues, help requests and bug fixes independently as well?

* What about marketing, status pages, monitoring systems, etc?
I think many of those people justify it in their heads thinking the ones getting laid off just didn't work hard enough. The loyalty is extremely cringe-worthy at times though. The concept of loyalty to employer has never sat well with me, regardless of market cap. The great recession solidified my feelings on that even more. When you watch people that put in 100 hour weeks for 10 years get let go without so much as an apology, the idea of loyalty ceases to exist.
Llama-2-chat models have been overly fine-tuned to be like this. You can give a few-shot prompting a try, but they still don't gurantee a desired output. The best way to guarantee is to fine-tune on small (~1k) data points and go from there.

They attacked the firmware of customer terminals on the ground via a management network, not the satellites themselves.

See, among others:

https://www.viasat.com/about/newsroom/blog/ka-sat-network-cy...

https://www.reversemode.com/2022/03/viasat-incident-from-spe...

The terminal firmware had a bunch of security vulnerabilities allowing injection of arbitrary executables and commands without adequate signature verification.

The attack bricked the terminals requiring a hardware swap to restore service.

There is also a physical USB cheat/hack/mod[0] that you can plug into your Switch that lets you automatically farm eggs, move you about automatically to hatch eggs, and then release entire boxes of Pokemon you don't need[1]. It's like factory farming Pokemon! There's support for other games and even other game console controllers too, it's an interesting device.

For Pokemon I think it's more interesting than simply memory hacking your save file and altering the Effort Values of the Pokemon, which is the simple way to go about this, though a bit boring and as I understand it very widespread if you battle online.

I imagine smaller pubs in Italy couldn't care less about whether they are allowed to show MLS matches or not. If the HDMI cord works, it works.

Just an honest thought as I've heard it from now two different individuals at two different pubs.

The 777 and 787 are fly-by-wire aircraft with mechanically-linked yokes. In extreme situations (one yoke is actually stuck and won't move at all), there is a breakaway on that link, and if you exert enough force upon it (like, really hulk at the thing), you can snap it. I don't know whether this has been necessary in flight, but the facility is there. The control surfaces are split between the yokes, so for example the left yoke pitch control commands the left-side elevator, making the plane still controllable with only one working yoke.
Is it still missing job control?

Four hours of knowledge work a day is a lot?

Maybe I'm uniquely on a path to burnout, but I put in at least 6 hours of what I would call hard knowledge work per day as a SWE. Throw on 1-3 hours of collaboration and an hour of truly useless meetings and I'm at a 45+ hr week.

Factor in commute time, via bike so counts towards exercise minutes, and I'm working 50 hr weeks + 24/7 15 minute SLA on-call once every other month.

It's unfathomable to me that this isn't the average experience, and that anyone would get paid more than $120k doing any less.

I assume you're referring to arms makers selling weapons that are obviously not for hunting game to the civilian market, rather than overall, because (such as it is) countries generally need defence-forces, and those forces do need arms.
I don't think so. I think the real reason is that a pirated Windows install is not Mac or Linux, and will probably, eventually, become a legal Windows install.

Imagine telling a bunch of possibly talented and/or ambitious poor people that they should use another (better) operating system. Instead, let them become Windows experts and ultimately make Microsoft more money.
The federal agencies governing food labeling are very effective. I'm okay with companies employing people to figure out how to live just barely inside the bounds of legal labeling. To me, that's just evidence that the companies couldn't change the regulations through lobbying, couldn't skirt the regulations by bribing inspectors, and couldn't just ignore them and budget for some annual fines.
And maybe in JT 610 and ET 302, the pilots should have been justified in ignoring the Boeing computer, which was making bad decisions based on a faulty sensor reading, and was trying its damn hardest to fly the plane into the ground (And succeeded, killing everyone on board, despite the best efforts of the pilots).

How about we let the system whose sensors are functioning ultimately be in charge?

What do you use LangChain for?
Would be super interested to learn if there's any practical autonomous agents out there in the wild. While the langchain and autonomous agents community continues to make impressive releases - the key part is a lot of it seems to be traditional system engineering with LLMs.

Caching, memory (storage), replay (failure handling), prompt libraries, tools (integration) seem to be tying in system design frameworks to build applications that can reason.
There's a very strong selection bias for people who will talk about their experiences.. much like product review, you only hear about the bad ones
This study claims that it is unrealistic to have net-zero air travel fueled by hydrocarbons by 2050[0]. If the fuel is made from biomass, then increase in land use alone would nullify any benefits. If the fuel is made from renewable electricity, then they end up using 9% of forecast renewable electricity production in 2050. This ends up cannibalizing electricity use for other things. It 10 times more effective to displace one coal plant than to use the same electricity to make fuel.

This does assume that clean electricity is limited, so a workaround is simply to build more nuclear powerplants. Without severely curtailing flight this may be the only option.

> Any toy that does the entertaining for the child is disallowed.

I think this is a really important point — "screen time" isn't really a problem in and of itself. If one of my kids wants to spend hours obsessing over a composition in GarageBand, I'm going to stay out of it other than encouraging regular breaks to prevent eyestrain.

Sure, but the most common use case for a CLA is to allow a company to take your contributions and use them as proprietary software. Some aren't a terrible idea, but my instinct is to close the tab when I am asked to sign a CLA.
I haven't heard anything about that. Wikipedia says defunding was proposed in 2019 but rescinded

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWVB

WWVB, along with NIST's shortwave time code-and-announcement stations WWV and WWVH, were proposed for defunding and elimination in the 2019 NIST budget.[6] However, the final 2019 NIST budget preserved funding for the three stations.[7]
Maybe it’s too much focus on work and not enough relaxation or vacation to let new ideas flow in?

You could be the best at x task but there are only 5 positions in the middle of nowhere that require it so why spend time on it?

Otherwise, audit your time in 15min increments for one week, reduce entertainment, and get enough sleep/exercise/etc. Use a dumb phone.

I’m not sure if you’re in a mid life crisis or pre-retirement one. I sat down then wrote a 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 year hypothetical plan and realized I needed to change it all because of the retirement date as well as value for spending my time doing it all.

> If you're concatenating sentence bits, you're doing it wrong.

This is completely impractical for anything other than the most static content. Take the most basic line from any single imagined game.

E.g. “Your [Abrams tank] has [fired] a [lead-tipped bullet] at a [green] [dragon].”

Ok, let’s say you have fifteen unit types, five attack types, thirteen types of ammo, thirty enemy type adjectives, and fifty enemy nouns. This is one announcement type out of hundreds in your game (Your green dragon was spotted by an enemy Lizardman! Your attack dirigible is running low on hydrogen!) You’re going to - what - precompose all of this? And pay to have your trillions of lines translated into a dozen languages?

At that point it would seem more cost effective to use your i18n budget to finance some kind of monolingual colony on Mars, and just sell your product there.

Yes, this is going to be hard to concat programmatically, and yes, you’ll likely make some mistakes and might need to rethink some phrasing. One language’s ‘blue’ is another language’s ‘wine dark’. One language’s adjective (he is tall) is another language’s verb (he towers). But “don’t concatenate” is simply not useful advice, because it is not actually actionable for most projects.

People act like i18n is some great moral-ethical challenge, and if you fail, you will mortally offend millions. You won’t. You might sound silly, but people are patient, and you’ll recover.

No matter how hard you try and plan, you will, at some point, get localisation wrong. Oh, you’ve thought of gender? That’s great! What about case? Ok, but that only works for languages with nominative-accusative alignment. What about languages with ergative-absolutive alignment?
Or a tripartite system? And this is just nouns - wait until we get to verbs!
I'm not sure to whom he is responding, since no one is claiming LoRA performs as well as traditional fine tuning. If you click through to the original Tweet he shared, it says "when you have a lot of data and limited compute go for LoRA, while with limited data and ample compute go for full finetuning" which I think is absolutely correct and few would disagree. As these models get bigger and bigger though, fewer and fewer people are going to have the "ample compute" required for full fine tuning.
> Who is ultimately in charge in a sensors-out situation? The human? Or the computer? Which of these do you believe should have the final say on flight decisions?

This is the root of the main Airbus/Boeing disagreement about design; Airbus leans towards the "pilot and dog" [37] arrangement, Boeing leans toward "let the pilot figure it out".

But the reality is the more and more the computer can handle strange situations, the further the pilots get from being able to react to even stranger situations. That doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't have additional laws to prevent going from normal law direct to "whelp, it's your plane now, bro".

[37] Old joke: https://jalopnik.com/the-thought-of-a-single-pilot-airliner-...
> During flight 447’s plunge toward the sea, the flight directors disappeared every time the forward airspeed dropped below 60 knots. This was because an airspeed below 60 knots while in flight is so anomalous that the computers are programmed to reject such a reading as false. Furthermore, at an angle of attack threshold which corresponded quite closely to 60 knots, the stall warning would cease for exactly the same reason. This created an unfortunate correlation, wherein Bonin would pitch up, the angle of attack and airspeed would exceed the rejection thresholds, the flight director would stop telling him to fly up, and the stall warning would cease; then if he attempted to pitch down, the angle of attack data would become valid again, the flight director would tell him to pitch up, and the stall warning would return. This perverse Pavlovian relationship could have subconsciously conditioned Bonin to believe that pitching down was causing the plane to approach the stall envelope, and that by pitching up he was actually protecting the plane against stalling.

>How much would you be willing to bet? I understand the skepticism, but to assign 0% probability to it happening in our lifetimes seems excessively low.

Not GP, but how much you got?

AGI (or hard AI, or whatever you want to call it) strongly implies not just reasoning and interaction with the environment, but self awareness. Something which is conveniently ignored by folks who claim that AGI is just around the corner, and welcome their new 'grey goo' overlords.

As Heinlein (it's fiction of course, but the principle that self awareness is necessary for AGI -- not (just) numbers of neurons/data points -- holds IMHO) put it[0]:

"Am not going to argue whether a machine can 'really' be alive, 'really' be self-aware. Is a virus self-aware? Nyet. How about oyster? I doubt it. A cat? Almost certainly. A human? Don't know about you, tovarishch, but I am. Somewhere along evolutionary chain from macromolecule to human brain self-awareness crept in. Psychologists assert it happens automatically whenever a brain acquires certain very high number of associational paths. Can't see it matters whether paths are protein or platinum. ('Soul?' Does a dog have a soul? How about cockroach?)"

As we've seen[1], a variety of meat machines (i.e., animals like us) have varying levels of self awareness. Without that trait, AGI won't be achievable.

Without the ability to recognize and incorporate the concept that one is an entity with existence separate from the rest of the world, there is no real awareness or consciousness.

I'd even go so far to posit that until human children are able to understand object permanence and that their mental states aren't globally available to everyone, they don't meet the standard of "self-awareness."

That's a hard problem, and while we have some conceptual ideas about how that might arise, we have no mechanism or even a foundation for inculcating such a trait into the algorithms folks call "AI".

Until that problem is solved, there will be no AGI. Full stop. And I find it unlikely in the extreme that we will gain the scientific/engineering know how to make that happen in our lifetimes.

I've used it to pull the audio off videos of live jazz performances, so I can run slow-down tools and play along to learn. I could do the same by recording the audio out of my laptop.

That type of thing is not the majority use case for youtube-dl, but for any type of digital media there are plenty of individual, educational use cases that do not involve "pirate" activity (i.e. further distribution). Whether or not that's officially ok or not, I'd assert it is morally ok.

As an aside, if YouTube is the only or canonical source for some material, getting it from the distribution channel (YT) and getting any access to the media in question are now one and the same problem. But let's not get confused about the value YouTube is providing - they are just a distributor, not a creative originator.
