Side note: if you can, check your thermostat and see if you can set your thermostat’s “fan mode” to on, instead of auto, for all the schedule settings that apply while you’re in the house. Ecobee allows this (comfort settings -> select presets that apply while you’re in the house -> change heat mode fan and cool mode fan to on). It’s the most effective way I’ve found for lowering CO2 for rooms that don’t have windows or when opening a window is impractical.
I have been in several models of commercial aircraft during certification testing where we had to perform a max effort emergency descent as a part of the flight test profile. We routinely would hit rates of descent in the of 9,000-10,000 FPM range. I normally experienced this while strapped into a flight test workstation in the back of the plane, but once or twice had the opportunity to sit in the flight deck jumpseat.

Once the aircraft is established in the descent, there is a bit of additional buffeting (light turbulence) and wind noise, but there is no highly unusual attitude involved. Initially, depending on how aggressively the pilot transitions from level flight to the descent, there can be a brief second of reduced or even zero G, but a smooth transition does not increase the total descent time by too much.

I have a colleague who was involved with the flight testing of the C-17 military cargo plane. That aircraft can safely deploy all four thrust reversers while in-flight to make a high angle tactical descent - it can hit in excess of 25,000 FPM. Supposedly everyone on the test flight was supposed to have been medically cleared for this flight, but one crew member had a lingering ear infection, and blew out both eardrums during the test.
thank you :)

The legislation appears to be limited to data brokers. While this is nice and welcomed, this also means it doesn't cover entities like Google or Facebook.

Oblivion was more cutting edge at the time, and it sheer scale (along with Morrowind's) was quite unique.
I kind of agree, but this story was about a new (alleged) data point.

Personally, as a job seeker, I'm interested in any new changes to the WFH landscape.
It seems extremely burdensome to do that every time you go shopping. Also, it requires people to remember the unit price of the same product across multiple trips - whereas most people who do check the unit price do so in a side by side comparison with a different brand of the same type of product.

What do you mean by "hardware decoding"? There are custom chips which do the whole GNSS business. So they are doing "hardware decoding", the chip is the hardware.

I'm not aware of how all of them are implemented internally, but my understanding is that the acquisition&tracking of signals usually happens in the digital domain. Can be wrong on that of course.

I think plenty of people can read cursive without spending 2-4 years writing it.
One thing I was impressed in my early PhD classes in physics was the role of continuous symmetries in differential equations, particularly as applied to quantum mechanics. For instance, you can factor the Schrodinger equation for the hydrogen atom into a radial part and a part over angles, and of course the angular part is all about the symmetries of the sphere (no magnetic field) or cylinder (in a magnetic field) Then you get into things like molecules in chemistry where atoms are discrete things and you very much are looking at discrete symmetries.
My attempt at explaining that is at https://eagain.net/articles/git-for-computer-scientists/

>> 2. You don’t need parallel corpora for every single pair you want to translate to.

Neural Machine Translation models don't need those either. That's been the case at least since 2016.

That was one of the big claims by Google, that Google Translate had created its own "interlingua" thanks to which it could translate between languages for which it doesn't have parallel corpora:

Following several months of testing, the researchers behind the AI have seen it be able to blindly translate languages even if it's never studied one of the languages involved in the translation. "An example of this would be translations between Korean and Japanese where Korean⇄Japanese examples were not shown to the system," the Mike Schuster, from Google Brain wrote in a blogpost.

https://www.wired.co.uk/article/google-ai-language-create

It was obvious already back then that this "interlingua" was no other than English, e.g., from the same article:

The team said the system was able to make "reasonable" translations of the languages it had not been taught to translate. In one instance, a research paper published alongside the blog, says the AI was taught Portuguese→English and English→Spanish. It was then able to make translations between Portuguese→Spanish.

But, hey, hype.

I think high density housing is a band-aid because there are sometimes significant infrastructure challenges to packing more people into a town. I’m not saying not to do it; I think it’s a good solution for many places, but I do not believe it is simpler than taxation
This argument is completely incoherent. You can't study the cause of inflation by looking at the distributional effects of inflation.

For example, in 2020 there was a huge increase in demand for used cars, and the price of used cars increased by ~40% within a few months. But people who sold used cars did not have their costs increase - they were, after all, selling an already completed product. The IMF would therefore estimate that between 2019 and 2020, ~100% of inflation in used car prices was due to margin increases rather than inflation itself.

This is obviously silly - the increase in prices was because there were too many buyers and too few cars, not because the owners of used cars suddenly because significantly more greedy overnight. It's the same with corporate profits. Inflation has distributional effects which are interesting to study, but we shouldn't confuse ourselves by claiming that the effects are actually the causes.
> It can identify promising candidates for analysis, such as molecules with particular properties in drug discovery, or materials with the characteristics needed in batteries or solar cells. It can sift through piles of data such as those produced by particle colliders or robotic telescopes, looking for patterns. And AI can model and analyse even more complex systems, such as the folding of proteins and the formation of galaxies. AI tools have been used to identify new antibiotics, reveal the Higgs boson and spot regional accents in wolves, among other things.

Wonder how much AI is actually doing here, and how much it's just paper hype, in the same way that AI companies have been shown to actually just use human resources (until they figured out the AI part ;]), I wonder how much these were just to juice up the paper a little bit.

“Plus, houses are touted as a major investment vehicle for the average citizen. If they all go underwater due to lowered prices, it'll result in a pretty big economic crisis. So most government agencies won't want to see house prices go down too much either.”

That’s a big problem. A lot of peoples retirement plans rely on the value of their house. I am one of them.
Yes, and Andres (literally the “main hat” they wear at Microsoft is work on PostgreSQL, and Tom, etc. I don’t understand why pointing out what should be obvious gets people to lose their mind here and is such a controversy. PostgreSQL like Linux is a massively commercially sponsored project - that there are some volunteers doesn’t change that.

I used to be paid full time to mostly work on a Linux kernel subsystem. This discussion is silly.
A union is a manifestation within a free market. A bunch of employees get together so they can quit with more impact.
Well, AFAIK everything there could easily be just invention. But depending on where the company is hosted, I could believe that happened too.

I could say that my project was orthogonal to his interests, but also not optional (from higher ups). I made it painless but I expect that as much as anything, he didn’t like my face.

And, what was rough was that he oversaw our division for about 60 days. I know for a fact I wasn’t on the cut list from my manager or his manager.

Is this capitalist-rational? It is what it is. Is it about optimal organizational outcomes? I don’t see how it could be. Layoffs are about something, but righting ships? I don’t accept that.
I think we are starting to see the cracks in the utopic vision of open source.

I know it sounds very harsh, but I feel the vast majority of people complaining about these kind of situations are people who want the benefit of the tremendous engineering accomplishment of a game engine like Unity without contributing or paying in any way.

Somehow people have convinced themselves that just using a technology is equivalent to supporting it. I'm not immune to this. I just considered how I would feel if React or Golang suddenly changed so that I had to pay to use them. React is supported by Facebook and Golang by Google, both unimaginably massive and wealthy corporations. Even though I have never directly contributed a single thing to either project, I know I would feel some combination of betrayed, angry and frustrated.

But I think about all of it. nginx, haproxy, redis, postgresql, nodejs, python. I don't think I could even write out all of the open source I am using in my projects within the confines of a Hacker News comment. Just trying to wrap my head around how I could even pay for all of that software if I had to is anxiety inducing. I don't mean just the cost, even the logistics of that many micro-transactions. Imagine trying to pay every YouTuber you watch some fair value for the content you consume.

We are no where near an answer on this, I don't believe it will be settled within my lifetime. But the current model to justify the free-lunch we've all been served is crumbling. If the corporations that we expect to bear the cost of our free-lunch start to crumble then we are all in for a rude awakening.
I didn't start cursive until 3rd grade. I wrote it for at least a decade in school. Now I can't write it.

In 1st grade we spent about 30 minutes practicing typing positions on a photocopied PCJunior keyboard. I still use those positions.
Great minimalist design choices here.

I felt myself longing for profile photos, but also I am willing for them to be left out.

If you went back to the office, then would you rather an open planned office or your own cubicle? If its the latter, your own cubicle, then why the hell are you going back to the office?

Open planned offices are a pain the arse for distractions.

I for one couldn't imagine going back, far more productive WFH.
Sales is pretty similar too - although they don't work from "home", they don't need to show up to office so much. I used to work at a small firm where our office was divided into two floors; and the second floor was just me and two salespersons. I used to be alone probably 15+ out of 20 working days of the month because the salespersons were out meeting prospects and customers so much.
I don’t think so. Once your house value falls, you can’t move anywhere else.
I was a bit disappointed to see records not really picked up in the Java stdlib at all yet.
> Bill: Yes. Probably. DC has to continue paying me royalties on the books they’ve published and keep in publication, so, as long as I work hard to keep them honest each quarter, I still have some potential income from Fables.

How does it work, legally speaking? I meant that now Fables is in public domain, would DC still need to pay royalties to him? I understand that they had/have a contract, but not sure if the contract is tied to copyright implicitly or explicitly.
Yes and no.

I personally don't see a lot of difference in pairing remotely over sitting next to each other, as someone with a non-standard keyboard and layout I actually find it a lot easier, because I can watch and do some doc reading/research/tickets during that.

If you are more hands-off and don't engage with your younger colleagues, then yes, absolutely.

I don't really know how you would just magically absorb knowledge and not wasting all your time if you listened to everything that everyone in your physical vicinity says. (Including cursing, talking about sportsball results, etc.pp) But maybe people who are good at listening while doing something else see this differently.

What I do miss are the coffee break conversations, hopefully also with people from other teams and not only your own, but I think this can be remedied by going to the office occasionally, certainly not something I need on a daily basis.
I agree with this. There are a lot of people who think American history is irrelevant to them, and I think a wedge is driven against people by asserting that American history is irrelevant to non-white people. Hate speech is a good example. It's not a new debate and it's pretty obvious to me that governments use whatever leverage they have against their citizens which is why free speech is important.

In places where there are restrictions on speech, we see it abused against citizens. For example, in Islamic countries with blasphemy laws, they are weaponized against the opposition. Germany aggressively prosecutes people using anti-Natsoc laws and anti hate speech laws on what seems like a very politically biased basis https://web.archive.org/web/20230316140458/https://www.nytim....

If government has a method to arrest and silence people it doesn't like, it will find a way to use that method. I think the US is already hopeless so technology is the solution.
"Many children no longer learn to write cursive in school" ... The new logo, she said, is easier to process."

My favorite license plate is California's because of the cursive script. To me, it's both elegant and modern (maybe that makes me old in terms of marketdroids). I suppose California should be getting rid of that. /s
That's why you gotta fap middle-out.
Tell her to read past the headlines. This is about the heat dissipation (and Apple is apparently fixing this with a sw update). While you’re technically wrong if the question really was “is the radiation safe” since heat is technically radiation, that’s not what lay people are asking about when they are asking about radiation concerns (ie EM radiation). To reiterate. This is about how much heat the iPhone generates was found to exceed limits. Apple contends that this is because of French testing protocols and not a real issue. Unclear who’s in the wrong, but certainly nothing to do with EM radiation.

> The company noted that it believed the issue was “related to a specific testing protocol used by French regulators and not a safety concern.” French officials stated that they were eager to test the software update and lift their ban on sales of the iPhone 12.

> The EU's standards note that within a phone's typical frequency range, the main danger of excess radiation is not changes to cells or chemicals in the body, leading to cancer, but "whole-body heat stress and excessive localized heating of tissues." The vast majority of mobile phone research indicates no adverse effects from regular exposure to the non-ionizing frequencies phones use to communicate.
"One antitrust expert said the link throttling warrants an investigation by regulators into whether X’s behavior violates laws designed to ensure competitive markets."

And the client is actually the sender.
Repeat after me - the private housing sector is not going to build sufficient housing stock to tank prices in... the private housing sector. The housing market is red hot right now, and yet builders are loathe to invest in a major way, fearing a downturn that will impact their profit margins, even though they stand to make big bucks. But we somehow expect a building surge that will shift the market dynamics to make all housing worth less?

The only way to incentive construction is to incentive construction. NYC HPD is an agency, for example, that has a history of providing low interest rate loans for approved projects to rehab old buildings. With borrowing costs hovering at 8%-10% for new construction projects, and with lenders tightening standards, this is the perfect time for state governments and the federal government to provide 3% construction loans, accessed in tranches after milestones are met, to facilitate not only housing on the cheaper end of the spectrum, but lower-margin housing projects that established developers and big lenders typically shy away from.

Simply deregulating does not work, and it's foolish to think it would. Lower cost housing, made profitable by public lenders as a last resort, is a no-brainer that gets lost in the discussion. As is rent control, by the way. But that won't lead to the same cast of characters getting boffo bucks through deregulation, so neither option is taken seriously by Serious People.
Are there rules for creating these illusions?
I can almost understand the bad photoshopping from a desire to put the product in situ but you have no budget/time/care to do a real shoot. To what level of generative art did they use for this product shot? Any chance you have a link?
I wish it would revolutionize spelling.
In many (most?) places, you can replace an existing non-conforming/grandfathered use with a new building that's no more non-conforming than the current situation.
In Toronto, the number of condos that have been built is staggering. There must be hundreds of thousands of new condos in the last 20 years.

The prices have only gone up. The idea that new housing reduces cost is insane. All of the condos being built are at the top of the price range.

What needs to be done is NEW CITIES need to be created with business centers. Not adding more housing into already packed cities.

I have been saying for a decade that large tech employers like Google and Facebook should have created offices in the middle of the US, which cheaper neighborhoods, better schools, etc. Create opportunities for families to move out from the tech areas and enrich other parts of the country. But they keep doubling, tripling and quadrupling down on the Bay Area.

New cities need to be created with business centers, not new condos in old cities!
there are different ways a product can be bad:

1. it could have had good requirements but badly executed
2. the chosen requirements could be bad and despite flawless execution the product is crap

I just think that the quantity of empty space inside of the encasement, is not a reason to label something a bad product. It makes no difference to the end user except for the "feeling" that something could have been added to it. But as I said, the moment you add something into that empty space you make the device heavier and thus perhaps you turn an otherwise good product into a bad product because it's too heavy.
For better or for worse, there are no such mandatory inspections nor certificates required when selling your car in the USA. Its a common trope/issue that people can often get misled by sellers when buying a vehicle, either by the seller clearing the engine codes or some other shady practice that would keep the car looking good until it drives off the lot
Any specific examples? What new understanding do we have of our world because of AI?
There is a secondary argument in favor of home-grown engines too. It's been very disappointing to see so many game companies abandon their own rendering technology in favor of Unreal. Terrible licensing rules might drive companies to go back to having their own engines.
> stock and debt

Yes, and now they are burning tons of money due to that debt and having to make ridiculous decisions to appease the stockholders. You just stated the exact reason this whole thing is a problem.
For what it's worth, Astro is excellent.
The first thing I thought of when I saw the article title here was “How programs get run”[1], a series on LWN; the second installment[2] describes the ELF parts of the story.

(The exposition in his two-parter “Anatomy of a system call”[3,4] is similarly brilliant.)

If all you want is a non-Linux-specific description of how to write a static ELF loader (which is surprisingly simple), you can also take a look at the description on the OSDev Wiki[5] (but be mindful of the somewhat uneven code quality on that website) and at Libelf by example[6] (but libelf may be a bit too much abstraction than you really need if you’re trying to understand the format itself).
