I guess we should rewrite it in Rust.

Airplane logistics feels like one of the most complicated systems running today. A single airline has to track millions of entities: planes, parts, engineers, luggage, cargo, passengers, pilots, gate agents, maintenance schedules, etc. Most of which was created all before best-practices were a thing. Not only is the software complex, but there are probably millions of devices in the world expecting exactly format X and will never be upgraded.

I have no doubt that eventually the software will be Ship of Thesus-ed into something approaching sanity, but there are likely to be glaciers of tech debt which cannot be abstracted away in anything less than decades of work.
oh lol I got good news for you: https://www.t-mobile.com/support/coverage/network-pass
What you're looking at is people with really bad gut microbiomes or other ongoing infections, not "CSS" - the behavior you're describing is called sickness behavior[1] and is produced by ongoing infections and blood infiltration by bacterial toxins like LPS (which coincidentally is used to induce mouse models of depression)

Rhetoric like yours is why most chronically ill people suffer for years and decades before getting any kind of diagnosis or treatment at all.

>That's impossible, if you change your movement it will mispredict and thus cause more lag

It will not cause more lag, it will just not be accurate to where your cursor actually should be when the frame gets displayed. For people with strong computers you would only need to predict a few ms forward in time which should be possible to get really accurate.

>it can never predict when you will hit the button to fire your weapon

That is not what is happening. What is happening is that time between registering the click and the frame being displayed. The prediction I'm talking about would be predicting subframe mouse movements. This behaviour is more for smooth mouse look. For shooting you want to have a precise timestamp of when the click happened so that you can see if at that moment in time the shot would have hit. The position where you are looking when shooting and the position where you are looking on screen are different things.
I'm curious about the small fiber neuropathy in your toes you mentioned. I was diagnosed with severe sarcoidosis a few years ago, and am currently taking azathioprine along with adalimumab. As far as I know the suppression is working regarding the sarcoidosis, although I've been having trouble with viral infections lingering a long time. Recently I've been noticing some burning and numbness in my toes, and your post made me realize it's most certainly nerve related.
You can do this with Visible. X days no commitment. The missus used it to test data speeds and reception around here. And surprisingly it was worse than Mint, even though the Visible Trial was their top plan (which isn't subject to QoS when the network gets clogged).

Mint will slow down when T-Mobile is at higher capacities.
I have personally seen multiple health insurance plans offer a free Fitbit upon enrollment in their targeted coaching programs. They find the highest cost patients, typically with cardiovascular or diabetes risk, and use the data from a Fitbit, a bluetooth connected blood pressure monitor, glucose monitor, to identify who is at greatest risk and target them for "coaching," which tends to be a form of outsourced telehealth.
OpenIntents File Manager has worked for me so far.
Wow. That's exactly the sort of busted-bottleneck situation I was worried about during Covid. I'm used to hurricanes knocking out water and/or power for a few days, but a month is insane. There's no way a normal person with a normal amount of money and space can "prep" to live off-grid for a month. Part of the social contract is that you trade taxes in return for not having to worry about this kind of shit.
There is no need for any species to go extinct for evolutionary pressures to select for adaptations that allow for predation on other species.

The population of a predator reaching the carrying capacity of the existing prey base is enough to make it evolutionarily advantageous to develop means of adding new species to the prey base, ceteris paribus.
Ask HN: Why did Visual Basic die?
I've been a software developer for almost 30 years.
I remember using VB back in the 90's and I was thinking about it the other day and it dawned on me; despite all the advances in technology since then, nothing I have found compares to that development experience today. I would go so far as to say we've gone backwards in a big way.

Now, I'm no fan of Microsoft products but, I have yet to find a tool that can allow me to be as productive in so short a time as Visual Basic. Yet I can't help wondering what problems it had that caused them to abandon it? Moreover, why hasn't someone come out with a solid replacement?

I haven't heard of that bias before. But even without that bias it still does affect performance how your threads are distributed across physical cores. This is why the kernel is aware of SMT threads and uses that knowledge to make the best scheduling decisions.
I always thought the leaked pages from 9/11 were an interesting way of viewing the timeline. Starts with a lot of business messages, some sexting, and some automated IT messages.[1]

The at 8:46 you see the first sign of something wrong, a smattering of errors about how the Cantor Fitzgerald API was down, and the butterfly effect the outage had on other systems. The computers were chatting about how something was wrong ahead of any people.

Objects in space are illuminated by a single light source, and are not surrounded by atmosphere. This is similar to the most fundamentally basic raytraced scenes.

To contrast, objects on Earth are often illuminated by many light sources, by the light reflected off of other nearby objects, and even by the light reflected/refracted through the atmosphere the surrounds them. This is very challenging to reproduce in a raytraced scene; so what we are used to is something on the spectrum between realistic and oversimplified.

An oversimplified render of a scene on Earth will have sharp shadows and lack the color reflected off of surrounding objects.
It should. But const or constexpr also work as documentation.

I wonder how much of an outlier we may be, shuffling around on dry land, when most of the biosphere of our planet is in the ocean.

Higher gravity certainly means higher pressure gradient, more pressure per vertical meter of ocean. And high pressure affects protein structure.

Favorite-ing your comment to see if you end up being right.

My opinion is the tools are here, whether we like it or not, so AI as a thing will remain in some form, it's just that these efforts where people train on anyone else's content is where things fall apart and thus it will not look like how it looks today, where you have a company or a community effort that provides a NN trained on other people's data. Instead, the data generators and the AI trainers will have to be the same person or entity (company). If I for example trained an LLM on the code I've generated since I was 16 and made a nooberminGPT, it would be fine because I won't sue myself.

The only other way things could generally work is like how artists sign their copyrights to be owned by a company or publisher, basically people or entities will have to sell their content to be trained instead of it being trained on for free...And then we'll see old fashioned exploitation, basically people being suckered into contracts where they sign their life away, but it will be on paper as opposed to now where it's the wild west and you can take anyone's content without asking.
We'd need some fast tech for sure. However, what is also interesting is that the light from it is only 124 years old. So the planet is still very similar today probably.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it entirely possible for your cellular provider to block you from using their network based on what phone your physical SIM card is installed in?

To me, the physical SIM card just seems like an old technical limitation. The concerns surrounding its elimination don’t seem to have strong backing in my mind.
In the strict definition of eugenics, Idiocracy is eugenic in its moral.

I guess it's an opinion but the soul of open-source is collective work contributing to a common good. When it's driven by a company that doesn't accept contributions they have the incentives to not develop features that under cut their own market.

I think proprietary code makes sense for unexplored markets where the parameters are unknown and so there is risk. Once something is a standard experience (like a word processor) there is a place for open source to work towards. While it becomes feature complete the proprietary product gets to squeeze out the last of it's profits before becoming obsolete and moving on to the next unexplored space.
Bandaids are a bit of an ironic example. They were probably made the skin color of their majority customers, and not that of their inventors, but someone might have been in a position to ask whether there should be more than one color.

The Mighty American Consumer Is About to Hit a Wall, Investors Say
You are an extreme outlier. Most of us on HN are.

As of the end of august only 18% of US adults had tried ChatGPT at all (https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/08/28/most-amer...).

For me, the biggest obstacle to get over is trust. I have seen ChatGPT make up facts far too often for it to be useful for a lot of what I ask of google. I also would be VERY leery of integrating it into customer support, etc. At some point I expect some company to have its chat bot enter into a contract with a customer and end up having to deliver.
There's a perception (which AI hype has fed) that “AI” systems like MJ and SD are categorically different than traditional or digital artist tools, and are something like brute animals with paint on their paws making images: neither humans whose work copyright protects nor tools wielded by the hand of humans, but forces of nature where the human role is effectively a matter of selecting one of the generated outputs from a metaphorical pile left in the cage.

This is a factor in shaping the legal treatment of work generated with the use of “AI” tools.

Absolutely no idea on what is correct, but I love to reference this article on software practices at NASA[0], They Write the Right Stuff.

[0] https://www.fastcompany.com/28121/they-write-right-stuff
I wish the article contained some explanation of why the processing for NATS requires looking at both the ADEXP waypoints and the ICAO4444 waypoints (not a criticism per se, it may not have been addressed in the underlying report). Just looking at the ADEXP seems sufficient for the UK segment logic.

I'm guessing it has something to do with how ICAO4444 is technically human readable, and how in some meaningful sense, pilots and ATC staff "prefer" it. e.g., maybe all ICAO4444 waypoints are "significant" to humans (like international airports), whereas ADEXP waypoints are often "insignificant" (local airports, or even locations without any runway at all).

Of course with 20/20 hindsight, it seems obviously incorrect to loop through the ICAO4444 waypoints in their entirety, instead of "resuming" from an advanced position. But why look at them at all?

I cannot help but think that this "responsible AI" craze will be looked upon in the future as an idiotic mass panic along the lines of the Satanic Panics and literal apocalyptic Y2K predictions. Instead of potential mass inconveniences like airlines shutting down.
There's still Visual Basic .NET, is it much different productivity wise? I assume the language has changed enough from classic VB.

Thanks for summarizing! These points resonate with me bc I used to be an introvert, but found the extrovert inside of me a couple years ago (ironically, during pandemic).

A few additional points to make these macro data-based observations practical:

1. Saving your energy means ironically fewer convos.

2. A good proxy for "people who are most likely to be interesting" is the idea of reading their "energy". People whose energies are more similar to you are likely to resonate with you.

3. The article doesn't touch on follow-ups bc LinkedIn doesn't have that dataset. But follow-ups contain a wealth of information. For me currently they are the "breaking point" - most of my potential weak ties that could be strong ties remain at weak ties bc they descend into scheduling hell or lack of proactiveness (i usually follow up, and it's hard when i don't have time already as a founder).

4. This "sweet spot" is just in terms of LinkedIn mutual connections, which is weak bc LinkedIn connections are noisy. The real number is probably <10. Some say it's 6. I suspect it's actually 4 based on empirical evidence, where 3 of the 4 aren't captured on LinkedIn.

5. Try asking for their Instagram before LinkedIn next time. This might not be for the HackerNews crowd, but Instagram contains 2/4 or 3/4 of the missing signals that LinkedIn doesn't capture - what you do outside of work, where you are in your life journey / hero narrative, and what your life direction is.

6. Overcoming all your instincts in real world is tough. This takes a string of positive, warm, open interactions. Going to a few small, closed group events may help. Check out Saturday, Supermomos, or go to events at a private social club to "warm up" before going to larger tech events. Hopefully they cultivate a sense of "intimacy" in you, which is the energy you want to lead with from first interaction.

Hope this helps whoever bothered to read this from top down. If any of these points resonates, email me at hn.at.tw4192367@gmail.com

Magic was probably the first instance of where I learned that sometimes it's ok to not try to "solve" games or put too much thought into being competitive.

I'm not sure how my friend group found Magic originally, but it was around like 3rd edition or so? We all really liked it and spend way too much money on cards. We would play around the kitchen table in a single game, 5, 6, 7 people all with decks a mile high building huge armies before someone finally gave in to break the peace and attack, usually resulting in everyone else attacking them. Great fun.

I had some access to the internet at work and during a break I started looking up stuff about Magic and found a deck that won a tournament recently. It was a red burn deck, and the tournament was a draft, which I had no idea what that meant, but I had a "winning" decklist and I had most of the cards in there. I traded with my friends for the other stuff I was missing and we set about to play. I think I killed everyone one after another with that "stupid deck" with cards the others just flat out gave to me because they were "bad". I took that deck to a tournament a couple of weeks later and found out what the difference between drafts and constructed decks were, mainly that my deck needed 20 more cards. I still get fourth place and a box of booster packs.

My friends one by one stopped playing not too long after that. I went on to win most local tournaments and play in a handful of pro tour events, but none were ever as much fun as sitting around the kitchen table.
80% of US Christians believe Jesus will return (https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2009/04/09/christians-v...)

The mainstream Christian theology is that Jesus will return in order to wage war on non-believers and secure earth as the heavenly dominion of the believers (https://www.bibleref.com/Revelation/19/Revelation-19-11.html)

This grand battle and ultimate plundering of the spoils takes place in/near Jerusalem (https://www.bibleref.com/Zechariah/14/Zechariah-14-1.html)

One apparent prerequisite to this battle happening is the construction of The Third Temple which would, of course, require control over the region in which The Third Temple must be rebuilt -- Jerusalem. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_in_Jerusalem)

Also they need to find a red cow. Then Jesus can come with his flaming sword and slaughter ~billions of people.

import VGG16, preprocess_input from keras.applications.vgg16

This approach has a couple of downsides:

- no editor autocomplete while typing (JS modules have the same downside)

- more difficult to read multiple imports from modules in the same hierarchy (since the "from" parts aren't aligned)

- import sorting becomes less clear (do you sort by imported things or by the module you import from?)

JS uses your suggested format, and I dislike it much more than the Python equivalent due to the reasons stated above.
And worse for pascal, a 256 byte limit on the length and api shenanigans so that not every string allocated needed to consume all that memory if the string itself was shorter.
