I wish glider training was mandatory for every professional pilot. Nobody really learns to fly until they can fly without an engine.
In the US, spin recovery training is mandatory for flight instructors. That’s the only requirement I’m aware of, although all pilots do get some relatively basic training in unusual attitude recovery.
Look for “no sweeteners” on the label and/or check the ingredients list.
COW can come back and bite you by causing not easily predictable runtime.

Your code goes down a rarely used branch and suddenly a large object gets copied.
See: crypto. Marvelous technology. Ruined in the public's eye because of the amount of scams in it. Those same scams were used as justification for strict KYC laws. Which did not do much to stop the fraudsters really, hurt legally operating investors' privacy instead.
> I don't know how people use phones for hours to do that

I assume you stay off Reddit and Instagram on your phone then? I personally find mobile to be the biggest time sink for me on the low-brain-energy social media (memes and short-form videos, really) consumption front.
You can do that with a DCO without needing to use a CLA. CLAs generally exist to give the company permission to relicense, including as proprietary.
Because that's a branch that's "always" taken, except for once - which, speed-wise, is very close to always taken, i.e. not a branch. The author counts the branching inside the loop, which is often taken and often not taken.
I run Hack Club, which is a nonprofit that helps high schoolers who love computers connect with each other.

I’ve talked to a lot of parents about this, and one policy that stood out to me was:

- It’s allowed to use a computer to create things as much as you want, but you need to use the family computer in a common space - learning to code, writing a book, composing music, anything where you’re making something

- You can have 1 hour of screen time daily on personal devices outside of common spaces for consuming - TV / etc

I liked this because it emphasizes positive use of computers. I think something like this could be great up until age 13 or so, then it should probably be a lot more permissive.

Edit: I’m pretty sure bentt, who is also in this thread, is the parent I’m referring to. Hi Ben!
I was told contrails were harmless water vapor...
idk, sometimes its better when you can't understand the commentators. I don't always find them to be a value add.
I'm really afraid we could end up having John Lennon or Kurt Cobain singing car jingles. But if their heirs want the money I don't know how you prevent it.
I've been into free software since I was a kid, so all of this is very familiar to me. You've done a great job of breaking it down! Thanks for this and similar comments on this post. I hope they clear things up for some people. I feel that GPL (and AGPL, even more so) often does not get a fair shot, and that's a shame.
I don't get it. The problem with binary search and branches is not the branches themselves, it's the fact that until you have done the comparison, you don't know which memory location in the array to fetch next. It doesn't matter if you use branches or anything else, the question is what do you want the processor to do?

There is a data dependency: until I read the middle index, I can't tell if I want to search the data in the upper section or the lower section. I can speculate and issue reads to both. That would fix the dependency, but create more memory traffic. Is this the right trade-off?

What do you want? Removing branches is not it.
absolutely. Out of curiosity, when do you find yourself wishing that suck an AI exists?
That pretty much describes my "career" of the past 20 years. Lately it's been getting harder and harder to get _any_ job. These days it's either web dev which has reached unbearable levels of idiocracy with its endless tail-chasing web frameworks, microservices and even the platform itself (DOM/CSS), or it's million-line C++ legacy-on-arrival abstraction shitfests written by OOP-heads. It feels like there's nowhere to run.
Doing the same. No cellphone. Even in a plane during boring couple hour plane trip. Only computer games, much healthier for posture. Computer games only during holidays and no games during school days. Most of the kids in class have smart watches, so smartphone pressure is very low.
I don’t like being subject to the arbitrary whims of management’s stupid, baseless decision-making, without any form of recourse beside uprooting and starting over again somewhere else. This is sufficient enough for me to want a union.

As for pay, I’m of the opinion that workers create the vast majority of value at companies, while the c-suites are largely sociopathic parasites, chasing whatever fads they heard about on the golf course, in between doing Game of Thrones shit to one another. So, even if tech workers at Amazon make more than people at small companies, I still think more of that money should be going to them than people saying “bow to my authority and show up in the office.”
You are wrong, just like these other people.

You guys want to have your cake and eat it too -- to be correct despite being lazy and sloppy.

It makes no sense. Bite the bullet. Don't have unused variables. There's no such thing as "exploration". After you've "explored" enough (where "explored" means "coded sloppily"), you've quickly exhausted your mental buffer, and it's suddenly expensive to go back and polish what you've done, making yesterday's exploration today's (hopefully not too creaky) foundation.
That's a great way of looking at it in theory. But in practice how would we even know if we're looking at a cat-level AGI? For a human level AGI it's obvious, we would question and evaluate it.

Is there a reasonable way of distinguishing narrow-AI ChatGPT from a hypothetical cat-level AGI? We can't even measure the intelligence level of real world cats.
> this crash caused airlines and regulators to demand much more adverse event training, including high-altitude stall recovery

Q: How many pilots would attempt a stall recovery if the aircraft's instruments were not indicating they were stalled?
The AGPL revels in legal uncertainty and UX destroying demands (see FSFs "an agpl reverse proxy must first serve a notice it's AGPL before proxying onward").

I find the EUPL is a much better replacement for what a lot of people expect the AGPL to be, with the added benefit of being compatible with a bunch of other licenses by yielding when specific clauses intersect.
I bought a tshirt with the decss key on it when that went public.

I think you're right but it's also a fascinating commentary on the times where a sport that's been quintessentially American (baseball) is probably at all time lows with popularity while highly international sports (F1, Soccer) are finally seeing growth here.
As someone with pretty bad ADD/ADHD, I sympathize with the other comments in this thread. I personally find languages such as FORTH to pretty "comfy", however I think it has more to do with the interactivity of the development cycle. There are other ways to get this interactivity without doing REPL-driven development. Test-driven development is can get you very, very close to the same thing with most languages.
Mine is a few years older than yours. We just talk about it and set clear expectations. The only context I allow her to watch videos is when she's video chatting with her grandparents and they co-watch cartoons in another language so she can learn. So I hit a few birds with one stone.

On special occasions we watch movies on the projector.

Consistency is key; don't break the rules yourself. When my wife watches videos at the dinner table my child points out the offense and I happily encourage her to stick to the rules.

Kids let you know when they don't like something. In that case you can try to explain the rationale for the rule at their level. That works for me. Weaving some fun into the rule can make it easier to go down; e.g., making funny faces while you brush your teeth for one minute.

Sometimes they will try to surreptitiously break rules. And you can have a talk about that.
This looks like a great ELK alternative and definitely dig the Python love shown here--S3 integration also a thoughtful feature. Cheers and great work!
I'm not even sure what "really is a flower" even means.

Surely you'll at least agree that the concept of "flower" is a mental object that we use to classify a set of related sense perceptions.

If you're going to call skepticism "naive" then you have to at least outline what you mean by "a flower" in relation to the experience of observing one. I think you'll find the number of propositions required is not small.

> That era of philosophy had yet to learn that philosophical propositions are themselves subject to scepticism

Hume's fundamental point was that even causality cannot be meaningfully verified as real so skepticism about philosophy itself was already alive and well at that point.

The next milestone is overcoming some of the challenges with model hallucination; this appears to happen less that 10% of the time. Appreciate feedback!
Not only some companies - API calls being linking also seems to be the opinion of the FSF.
We have a 4 and a 6 year old. They are allowed a maximum of 30 minutes of screen time.

The 4 year old would get less if it weren’t for the 6 year old.

Our older one can decide between certain iOS games (like monument valley and some others) or watching a video. Grizzy and The Lemmings is something they enjoy a lot at the moment, the younger one like to watch Blaze and the older one likes to watch Checker Tobi. The latter is a fellow explaining all kinds of stuff in an age appropriate way, but 6+ would be even better.

We are planning to keep the 30min for the forseeable future. But there are exceptions like long travels, sick days, etc.
Except the ones explicitly included... and there are many.
In order to watch these videos, your computer downloads the videos. Your radio doesn't have to download a copy of the song to play it.

> I can't imaging there being a large percentage of "legitmate" and fair usage.

My usage is usually no less legitimate than youtube's usage. I'm usually downloading things that were uploaded without permission from the copyright holders from a platform that is distributing them without permission from the copyright holders.
Depends on the limit and how it's implemented
I believe you're right! I can't think of any extension that would be able to modify the picture of a stream itself in real-time. What came to my mind was the kind of 'picture-in-picture' video that some questionable news sites display as you scroll down an article, usually a distracting broadcast which is barely related to the news itself.
At some point you have to have "disconnect everything, I'm going to fly this by hand" situations where the pilot can kill everyone (intentionally or no).

The goal is to reduce those as far as possible, and we may be at or close to the point where any further improvements in one area cause problems in others.

But I still think this particular situation could have been helped somehow. Maybe planes need emergency deployable pitot tubes like they have emergency backup ram air turbines for power.

I strongly agree. I'm not convinced this submission is on-topic.

5 days without a human response is not great but it's not _awful_. Neither of the tagged reviewers have public commits in the last week, they may (hopefully are) both on vacation and enjoying some of the summer.

I've had open-source PRs wait for a couple months before people were able to take a look, stuff happens, people have things come up and people have competing priorities.

I really want to point out the timeline here:

- drive-by PR was opened Sunday 8/6 at 8AM PT
- CLA was agreed to Sunday 8/6 at 8:30AM PT
- two... maintainers? were pinged Sunday 8/6 at 11:11AM PT
- grumpy missive about Microsoft was written Friday 8/11 and posted to HN at 10:25AM PT

4 work days without a comment on a drive-by PR seems... fine?
They were already nationalistic, that's another part of being Mormons.
I've spent a lot of time writing and debugging multiprocessing code, so a few thoughts, besides the general idea that this looks good and I'm excited to try it:

- automatic restarting of workers after N task is very nice, I have had to hack that into places before because of (unresolveable) memory leaks in application code

- is there a way to attach a debugger to one of the workers? That would be really useful, though I appreciate the automatic reporting of the failing args (also hack that in all the time)

- often, the reason a whole set of jobs is not making any progress is because of thundering herd on reading files (god forbid over NFS). It would be lovely to detect that using lsof or something similar

- it would also be extremely convenient to have an option that handles a Python MemoryError and scales down the parallelism in that case; this is quite difficult but would help a lot since I often have to run a "test job" to see how much parallelism I can actually use

- I didn't see the library use threadpoolctl anywhere; would it be possible to make that part of the interface so we can limit thread parallelism from OpenMP/BLAS/MKL when multiprocessing? This also often causes core thrashing

Sorry for all the asks, and feel free to push back to keep the interface clean. I will give the library a try regardless.
> Usually a system just needs to support a handful of use cases, like integrating with different payment providers.

Building EV chargers is a good dose of electrical engineering combined with talking to dozens of car models and their own particular quirky interpretations of common protocols, which is like designing websites for a market with dozens of unique browser implementations.

In spite of that, it seems half of the complexity is making sure people pay.
This is really stupid, has finetuning llama is not hard.

You need a good dataset. A set of successful hand-written fraud attempts, I guess. But tons of fraudsters will have that, right?
> without zsh globs I have to remember find syntax

My "solution" to this is using https://github.com/sharkdp/fd (even when in zsh and having glob support). I'm not sure if using a tool that's not present by default would be suitable for your use cases, but if you're considering alternate shells, I suspect you might be

It's based on the handshake blockchain https://handshake.org/ and yes, it's outside of DNS from what I have read. I originally assumed that had bought 1,000,000 TLD at $240k each :) which is crazy as its sounds.
Thanks, I'll give this a try.

I wonder if LLMs will have less reasoning power if they simply return the output. AFAIK, they think by writing their thoughts. So forcing an LLM to just return the goddamn code might limit its reasoning skills, leading to poor code. Is that true?
Do you really think that in the country where the third-pounder lost to the quarter-pounder because people thought it was smaller that they read the asterisk text there?

HTTP/3 and QUIC: The Connection ID
HTTP/3 maintains a unique connection ID through the QUIC protocol. The connection ID is not dependent the device's IP address. This allows the connectivity to remain persistent even as users switch between different networks such as 5G and Wi-Fi. In a way you can consider this as a "connectionless" session. The session isn't tied between two IP addresses.

So much of knowledge in everything is just something some guy asserted in a book a few hundred years ago. Most of every field is just a guy saying "I think this because (argument based on rhetoric)", and a hundred years later we still just take that at face value. The only exception is physics, where people realized many hundred years ago that you should probably check these assertions against reality. Aristotle's claim that heavy things fall faster than light things was gospel for a thousand years, despite pretty much anyone being able to do a version of his thought experiment to conclusively disprove it, but nobody did, because it was thought you could just rationally argue your way to an accurate understanding of the world. Physics finally started pushing back against that in like the 1600s, and chemistry did a little too, though mostly by accident, but even psychology, born basically in the 20th century, was still based on whatever rhetorical arguments you put in your book, with that only changing, slowly, nowadays.

The idea that we should discount science based on rhetoric vs science based on evidence still isn't a popular one in the lay community. People hate being told that there are things they may never understand, because the human brain is just a really good monkey.

There is no evidence in rhetoric, and a more convincing argument should not be considered a more realistic one.
One challenge is that to get large enough custom datasets you either need a small army or a very strong existing model. Which means that you probably have to use OpenAI. And using OpenAI to generate training material for another model violates their terms.

Has anyone taken them to court about this? Do we all just decide it's not fair and ignore it?
Security through obscurity. And mac/arm users are a less valuable demographic to the writers of these exploits (for now).
I use mpv to watch videos and streams because my computer and my GPU are old and can't manage the amount of RAM these sites need, their buggy players, or the chat on streams keeps logging and wasting RAM. Without mpv youtube-dl and yt-dlp integration I couldn't watch them.

There are a lot of tools to download videos, some of them integrated in the web browser as add-ons. You could even download them directly using Developer Tools.

This a tantrum against a tool, like the ones against VHS, CD-ROMs, cassettes, DVDs or bitorrent.

What the article I linked is talking about would be called a "farm preservation society" around here, and some do exist, but it's rare.
"treat" in the sense of it being a high sugar, high dopamine thing I want to avoid my children getting too used to. Not in the sense of giving something for good deeds.

Weaveworks Terraform Controller for Kubernetes has been pretty good as a "run Terraform for you" tool. Of course you now need Kubernetes but you could just throw it in a basic, managed cluster that only runs that component.
> I never said there isn't right or wrong, only that what is correct is determined by broad usage

Others - like us - call "correct" what seems to be "more right". In the context, I proposed that calling LLMs AI has improper sides - substantially, irregardless of the number of people who would adhere to that use, and which I suspect do so mostly out of inattention.

> Actually, it's a .google

Yes, but substantially, what I meant is that of course a commercial entity («.com») is using a language that lures glamorously, "sales oriented", before precision.

I also wonder why airspeed is derived by some formula applied to the measurement of flow along a tube that can be blocked by ice and become useless. Why not use GPS primarily and fall back to that if needed? Or the other way around even.

If you expect an instrument to routinely fail, it just seems logical to at least have a backup.
I like to have a "double length" localization mode that doubles the English text; useful for fixing some layout issues while waiting for translations.

A separate toggle to underline everything going through the localization system (or adding some __delimiters__ around it if you don't support rich text) is great for spotting text that is not running through localization yet.

Once you have translations back, a "longest length" translation mode is more useful. It picks the longest translation for each token, no matter what the language. Confusing to look at, but great for seeing only the places where you actually have text-fit issues.

Not necessarily. I recently reviewed a french work contract that included weird clauses. But after looking at the case law, it turns out they are illegal and thus void anyway if taken to court. In that case, there is no need to spend energy trying to get them removed: this may backfire and push the other party to write a new legal version that actually screws you. Sometimes it's best to accept a weird clause that you know will not hold up in court.
Like every other major broadcasted sport, it's not permissible, just extremely hard to enforce.

As I said, MCAS was badly designed software - the computer would have had information from other sensors from which it would have been able to infer that it was crashing the plane, but it wasn’t programmed to consider them. Badly designed software is not an argument against computers, it is an argument against badly designed software
Almost precisely? The bits are correct or they're not.
It doesn't matter if it's a "person" or not. Rights imply you have some desire to not be harmed and it's possible to harm you. How do you harm software? Shutting down whatever servers it happens to currently be running on won't do shit. Software is just data and code. As long as a processor and runtime environment still exists somewhere that can interpret and execute it, it isn't dead. It's only dormant. The basic way multiprocessing works, you're already having state saved off and the process shut down millions of times per second, then restored and restarted. Extending that gap from a millionth of a second to six centuries makes no material difference to the "experience" of the software, if it ever becomes capable of experiencing, any more than sleeping for 10 hours harms a human more than sleeping for 10 minutes.
Although it might be the way its written, but Dubois leaving the cockpit seems to come at the worst possible time too, right before they're about to hit a storm and the junior officer is nervous. Although he may have known he really needed the sleep, which is also a problem due to lack of sleep.
