The Eurofighter Typhoon houses two EJ200 engine with 60 kN (13,500 lbf) of dry thrust and >90 kN (20,230 lbf) with afterburners. I believe there are experimental versions of EJ200 with >100 kN thrust but since Typhoon is being retired across Europe and no oversea sales, we won't see Typhoon armed with them.

Maybe, but most have cut offs for when the humidity gets to normal levels. Even if they don't have that, they become less efficient at removing water when there is less in the air, so you would need a tiny space to get that low (the heat they produce would start a fire first)
>If there's no government-enforced zoning restriction on new buildings (which are really monopolies on land use granted to existing landlords),

If you live in binary land, yea... to bad we live in the real world where things are a lot more complicated.

Lets say we lived on an island that had the water resources for 1000 residences. Cool, now we've set limits on the total number of people we can support without things falling apart or costs massively increasing. In rational world the democratic representation sets up a government and creates a set of rules zoning this. In your backwards broken shithole, the first developer with a billion dollars comes in and builds 10,000 houses and everyone is fucked.

These things are very hard to balance. And you're correct, the 'average' voter which tends to correlate with homeowner will vote in their best interest of increasing home prices once they own one. When you strip that away you typically get massive developers wanting to create as many houses as possible, which may or may not work depending on the limitations of the land this occurs on.

But how biased is the organization behind this study?

And why does it matter, considering its output is censored Disney style to not offend any pressure group anyway?
Because it's the focus for this program. It lets them tailor everything about it to a certain age group. You'd approach a 70 year old whose industry has collapsed very differently than a 19 year old from the streets with no employment history.

This makes a lot of sense to me. Just create another program that's tailored towards a diff lot.
It's ridiculous what amounts of money these ventures can siphon away in the US. See Uber, AirBNB, etc. I'm not saying they don't pay off, but these businesses literally choke most international competition.

I also don't really like XDG so much. I don't use any of those Desktop, Documents, etc; in fact I deleted all of them. I also do not use a desktop environment either. I use Linux, not Windows.

It's tricky. If you were an economist you'd insist that if interest rates go up housing prices must go down. If you're anyone else you realize rates goes up, supply of houses for sale goes down because people don't want to move.

I exclusively shop using the prime label. even then, I still never get my stuff on time and half of it is junk / not what I bought. I think MAYBE 1/5 packages come within 2 days. it's also frustrating because Amazons estimated delivery is always 2 days, and some times it arrives on day 3 or day 4 or day 5, and they never tell me or update the estimated date. when I buy 200$ worth of stuff, I want to make sure it isn't out in the rain and sun getting destroyed, but they can't even tell me when it arrives.

I expect this change will only make it worse.
The way to ethically handle this is to have a clear and contractual minimum number of billed hours in a day. That will get you paid well for built in efficiencies like OP mentioned, and keep you paid fairly on more substantial change requests.

Your first point is a good one, at some point the costs aren't worth it. Perhaps the solution there is toll roads instead of freeways because then a large portion of the costs are imposed on the users.

Your second point relates to your first because induced demand doesn't say that increasing road capacity isn't useful. It tells us that now instead getting coffee one exit away, maybe you go to the better place two exits away. Was that extra capacity worth it? You'd have to tally a lot of intangibles to answer that. My premise is that the more rapidly people can get around the city the better demand can meet supply, reducing costs and improving quality. Maybe one way to answer the question would be to look at comparable cities where one has built their transportation routes out heavily and another where they haven't and compare various costs and quality of life measures.
The "badging" culture at Apple is pretty extreme. It is routine and totally expected for a low-level worker bee to watch and call out a VP behind him who fails to badge through any external or internally locked door. One of the highlights of my time there was once having to remind Craig Federighi that he forgot to badge into a secured area.
Search engines used to be a device for leading you to a source. Most queries worth any money now have zero organic results above the fold.

A bit ironic that the cut off is 24 and the rough age of full brain maturity is 25 (and loss of parental insurance is 26). So the young adults that had poor/no guidance or made poor decisions in youth don’t get this opportunity once they get their head on straight and realize they need to acquire some skills (pretty common character arc for young men, at least in my circles).

The "how" took some reading to find. Here it is:

> They filled one field with water, as is common in Bali, but they drained the other, wetting the soil only when hairline cracks were spotted in the earth
> The JVM can't really be properly sandboxed

What happened is that people realized that blacklisting does not work. Whitelisting is the correct approach. There is absolutely zero reason why WASM would be better for that over the JVM — the JVM spec in itself has no visible side effect, not even printing, so it can’t do anything nefarious (besides cpu vulnerabilities, but that also apply to WASM).

And you would run C code in a completely trivial way: you have a huge array which is your memory, and you read/write bytes to it.
Apparently, it's bias all the way down.
I wonder how many people go vegetarian purely for climate reasons? Or partially and to what degree?

And how many also do all the other things (giving up air travel, private vehicles, imported fruit and veg, concrete etc) needed to actually get down to carbon neutral?

There must be some.

As for not having kids, I would have liked them, but I am gay, so to say I "paid" a cost would be untrue or at least an overestimate...

You can scratch by, get your certs, and stand by a machine for ten hours a day, six days a week. Or you can really apply yourself and focus on attaining SOME engineering-level skills and end up indespensible (usually given a part and asked to make it by coming up with a program, as opposed to working from print or existing process). You can be a glorified monkey or you can make yourself into an engineer. Up to you.

You can't compare falcon to SLS because Falcon cannot do what SLS does.

You can't compare SpaceX's figures to NASA because NASA has many, many more reporting obligations than SpaceX.

Every report on Falcon 9 costs has made this mistake forever. SpaceX does not release their full costs. What numbers we have for them are PR releases. Meanwhile, NASA's budgets are public and comprehensive, and they have legal parameters on what they have to include in their statements about costs that SpaceX does not have.

That makes sense. If you are a mafia type that needs to send hundreds of gigabytes of contemporaneous data to others secretly and sneakernet is too slow, then throw up an "anonymous" file sharing site, advertise it a bit, let the creeps and weirdos use it to flood out the actual payload from online watchdogs and then let it fall to pieces when it has served its purpose.

Kind of like when Bitcoin was used primarily for the drug trade in the silk road days.
Historically LabView had two other key things going for it besides the low-entry-barrier of visual programming.

1. A GUI comes for free; in LabView each program is two windows, each variable you declare shows up once on your code DAG and then again on your GUI as a switch, text box, slider, etc.

2. National Instruments also had a set of libraries and PCI cards for communicating with lab equipment like benchtop power supplies, voltmeters, and even up to big complex kit like oscilloscopes and exotic telecom protocol emulators.

Those two things enabled people to easily wire up a motley assembly of benchtop instruments and orchestrate them together for a unified test of hardware like circuit boards and so on.

Nowadays EE types have better coding skills and those benchtop instruments all have Ethernet ports and REST API's.

But SpaceX famously uses LabView for some things, most notably for the Dragon flight console.
Every electric car on the road has some amount of software-locked range. Tesla is just passing some choice along to you. The price must be higher for the harder-wearing configuration because the warranty is the same.

It's good for cost-sensitive short-range drivers because they're no longer subsidizing warranties for long-range drivers. You'll have to do the math for yourself to see if it's good for you.

> Something AI might be good at is suggesting new farming techniques and processes for increasing yields.

Why do you believe it'd be good at this?

I asked ChatGPT for a novel farming idea and it gave me pseudoscientific bullshit. https://chat.openai.com/share/4ba0c013-466e-4bea-ad00-c8ba22...

"Bio-Resonance Farming is a cutting-edge approach that harnesses the principles of bio-resonance and plant communication to enhance crop growth, health, and yield. Bio-resonance refers to the idea that living organisms emit unique electromagnetic frequencies, and by understanding and harmonizing with these frequencies, we can optimize plant growth and overall agricultural productivity."

> if a (weight) load is detected on the landing gear

This state "weight on wheels" is used in a lot of other functionality, not just on military aircraft, as the hard stop for things that don't make sense if we're not airborne. So that makes sense (albeit obviously somebody needed to actually write this function)

Most obviously the gear retraction is disabled on planes which have retractable landing gear.

I thought this was a pretty weak writeup. I'm somewhat familiar with Zanzibar and less familiar with OPA or Cedar, and the coverage of Zanzibar was odd and superficial. Zanzibar is a large-scale distributed system whose motivation is handling intricately related sets of ACLs while avoiding vulnerabilities that come from disrespecting causal ordering.

One big "con" to using it is that it's an internal Google system! If you're going to compare it to open-source policy engines, the sane thing to do would be to pick one of the open-source Zanzibar-inspired systems, and compare that.
Worse, how would a GPT be "biased" in the first place? To claim it is biased implies OpenAI did this on purpose, there is no generous way to read this that indicates UEA did this study in a neutral way.

That's not exactly what I said. I can see the argument about appearance discrepancies, and I concede that, but note that I didn't argue that solely. Nonetheless, information is information and there are likelihoods associated with that information. You have druggies and prostitutes with guns inside a home (that is extremely likely to be unkept) and a person claiming that they are the property owner and that the people inside are illegal squatters. I'm not sure how all of that funnels into an arrest of the property owner, which is what I was getting at.
The only problem with the JVM were politics. Safety? Should have been whitelisting, nothing inherent with the JVM. Performance? We had shitty hardware back then, the improvements there alone would have solved the issue (see: we use Javascript), but especially today, the JVM is more than fast enough for most workloads.

I agree that it is better to get deterministic and predictable behavior.

Reminds me of when for a while, I worked on HP 9000s under HP-UX and in parallel on an Intel 80486-based Linux box, and what I noticed is that the Unix workstations crashed sooner and more predictably with segmentation faults than Linux on the PC (not sure if this has changed since the early 1990s - probably had to do with the MMU); so developing on HP under Unix and then finally compiling under Linux led to better code quality.

Companies that want Physical Humans to watch what is on their websites(ads+content) and wall off said content at the same time. Every one of these companies is on borrowed time. Eventually AI will be able to read frame buffer and simulate mouse movements to a tee and get what any one wants, Tor networks and VPN networks will be used to circumvent API restrictions and everything else that blocks people will be learnt by the AI. The only factor will be cost of compute that will host the AI and how much data you want.

If there was no profit motive(ads) or its correlates(attention), none of this would be necessary. Companies would just provide utility to make people's lives easier. The most utilitarian company would win.

The only reason big tech needs to make this much money is share holder "value"(code for: 'we need to make our execs and engg rich so that other companies don't grab them'). This is a massive snowball; Its crash-only thinking(google the term).
The point is you can't adequately judge whether a job counts as "wageslave" just from the salary. A $300K job where houses cost $2M is like a $30K job where houses cost $200K.
This is silly.

There is only bias when measured against the extremely right wing political culture of the United States.

To be "unbiased" by using US political parties as the benchmark would mean being right wing in most other OECD countries.
I am a bit concerned that this study used well known a Political Compass questionnaire (likely this one[1]) simply because that thing has been around forever - ChatGPT was likely trained on a pretty significant portion of people tweeting about their questionnaire results to specifically worded questions - that seems like a really good way to introduce some really weird bias that it doesn't look like they ever really accounted for.

Pointer provenance is a nice example. A block of memory cannot be read as an array of simd types sometimes and scalar types otherwise. It can't contain atomic values which are operated on using non-atomic operations during program startup before you spawn any threads.

There were proposals to let one mmap existing structures but I don't know if any landed. Usually done with reinterpret cast and hoping that rule violation doesn't break you.

Pointer provenance does make most application code faster but other times it opens a performance gap that you have to step outside of C++ to close. Compiler extensions, switching off the analysis, changing language.
