ATP for a new car in July was $48,334. For used cars, it was $29,5k last quarter.

$30k is a lot of money for sure. But it does not get you much car these days, new or used.
that's great. and it has good resale value. the engine will always be solid which we can't say for degrading batteries.
It hasn't just required oil changes. It also requires fuel, which is increasingly much, much more expensive than electricity.

Gas systems also degrade over time - MPG drops with the life of a vehicle, and it's not actually clear that behavior is much different from battery range loss...
The article says he has already had one offer. He has to sell if they're going to buy.
I agree! I worked on forecasting sales data for years, and we had the same results.
Huh, okay. Well I couldn't find good info of increases last time I looked, and Spectrum was running 100 and 300 at the exact same upload. Good to know I could overpay for 35 if I needed to.
Truth, but how many people must be in your household such that one would need 2 Gbps internet? For me, I think I'd need 20 people under my roof for this speed to have any chance of making any sense.
It doesn’t have a safety bar? That’s why you can’t shower? Or it’s dirty?? Wear flip-flops in the shower as is done in much of the world. I won’t pretend to understand what is going on, but that statement about the shower is a red flag that something isn’t right.

> The British Mosquito once carried Niels Bohr in its bomb bay

Fantastic imagery occuring in my mind while reading that title as someone unfamiliar with the lingo. Almost psychedelic.

"Niels Bohr, father of atom, birthed from anus of mosquito, 2001 Starchild-like, bomb-bay-baby, 3-piece suit full formed within placenta, from the mother insect, a mission stalk-like to replenish the darkened Britain."
I think in this case, those prosecuting the change are not incompetent, or more precisely those prosecuting the breaking of encryption behind the scenes are quite competent. They just believe they can keep a secret, which they can’t.

Those involved with CSAM et al are competent as well in their field, but don’t realize they are the pawn they are.

The politicians though, sure, incompetent. No politician in the United States has an engineering degree, for example. So they are stupid enough to follow what someone tells them. Stupidity and fear and wonderful in others if you have an agenda.
/r/collapse (is it unpopular to mention here?) has been discussing wet bulb events for years.

They are occurring with increasing frequency and are very hard to survive without air conditioning or an underground shelter (e.g. cool cave).

But A/C uses large amounts of energy, which not only strains the power grid but also increases CO2 emissions, which causes more extreme wet bulb events...

The usual justification for having a concept of "undefined behavior" at all is specifically to allow compilers to "rule out this possibility" so they can make this sort of optimization.

I of course read that next section, and beyond, but respectfully disagree that the expressions provided don't justify further explanation. For example, the author neglects to define 'X' as the set of support values for some probability distribution. That's left to the reader to figure out for some reason. Further, nowhere is 'E(X)' defined as the integral of x*f(x) dx, or that the exponent 'k' only applies to the first 'x' term in that expression (i.e. if k=3, then E(X^3) = integral of (x^3)f(x) dx. How is the reader supposed to know all that?

That was left up to me to hunt down... which is fine I guess, but I certainly wouldn't say this is "from the ground up". At the very least, link to some external content that provides the necessary definitions.
I like Billie Eilish's music and think her brother is a decent producer, but you can't really compare the two in terms of song writing. I don't think there's a single Billie Eilish song that people are going to remember in five years, let alone after 50 years. I did enjoy this video about how they made bad guy:

People elect goverment and officials, both at local and federal level to make informed decisions that weight in numerous factors. If people had more direct control over and line-item veto and vote, we may not make the best decision as a whole. At least for some contentious issues, you sometimes get to directly vote on state referendum.
Degree is easy at that age, or next decade. Plenty of people get one online or distance learning.

Experience is hard, and if google hires you at that age - you take it and figure out what distance program you do.
A well-documented online platform for enabling machine learning research is one use case that should have obvious interest. I think Tensorflow.js should work pretty well at this point, and I've heard of new-fangled APIs such as WebGPU that could start being put to good use.

One thing that's fascinated me for a while has been the concept of rolling your own hardware that can plug directly into the web. (I know Chrome has had WebUSB and WebBluetooth enabled for some years now.)
You are in Pittsburg, and were born in Pittsburg (and thus a US citizen) but can’t get some jobs because you don’t have an EU passport? This isn’t adding up.
I would like an EV.

But I have a 14 year old Honda Fit. Its MPG has not dropped at all over time. It has needed nothing but wear-and-tear maintanance and new spark plug coil things. 190k miles. Gas prices vary, but I have a car already, and it seems at least questionable that it is more environmentally sound that this vehicle remains in use till its true end of life. I am not particularly motivated by money, but I can buy a lot of gas for the cost of a new vehicle, so the cost argument feels weak.
Not sure what you imply the misconception and the correct answer to be in this case.
People have been dying from wet-bulb heat events for years. It just hasn't been widely reported because those people tend to be the disabled, sick, and elderly.
At the same time you should thank taxpayers for artificially low oil prices as well.

Delta gets most of my business travel. I live near a second tier Delta hub (Boston) and all of my recurring business trips in the US are non-stop (most) or one-stop (a minority).

I can book my trip, select my seat (none of the trying to check in 23h59m59s998ms ahead, only to find you got A12 anyway and then 42 people had some reason to have priority boarding including the in-flight miracles where someone needs a wheelchair to board early, but walks off on their own), and if there are irregular ops challenges, Delta likely has 2-5 other similar flights in their network.

We fly SWA sometimes for personal travel and I can say “it’s better than Spirit, but I prefer Delta.” (We fly Delta even when it’s our own money, unless SWA has a non-stop and Delta doesn’t.)

Things I wish FreeBSD would change:

- turning all services (except ssh) off, by default. OpenBSD does this.

- move all non-core things out of the base, like sendmail (now DMA, what a nice import from DFly btw)

- the base should only have one way to do things (don’t have 3 different firewalls in base like today)

- better defaults, https://vez.mrsk.me/freebsd-defaults.html

- something like io-uring, (async-sendfile is similar but that’s only for sendfile)

Note: I really love FreeBSD. So don’t take my comments as hate.

> very obscure branch of mathematics

This is an understatement. He developed a completely different branch of mathematics through papers that spanned hundreds of pages with very dense and very different ideas from mainstream mathematics.

If it was just slightly obscure, maybe all but half a dozen mathematicians in the world might be able to understand his work. As it stands, at it's best, his proof is so opaque that even the brightest (Scholze) can only kind of understand it. At it's worst, they've rightfully identified it as flawed and that even Mochizuki himself doesn't understand that it's wrong.
If you were expecting actual death, then no revived person has ever experienced death because they weren't completely dead to begin with, even if tissue damage happened. Let's compromise on near death experience.

> They all seem to be in the style of 'draw the rest of the owl'.

You need a linear discrete-time dynamical system model of your process. With the possible additions of external control action, and process noise. Your dynamical system has an internal state, described as a vector of values. Then you also need a linear model, of how the internal state translates to your observations, plus observation noise.

x – model state
F – linear state transition model: x(t+1) = F x(t)
Q – covariance matrix for process noise, so actually x(t+1) = F x(t) + N(0,Q)
H – linear observation model
R – covariance matrix for observation noise
u, B – external control vector u, and B for how u acts on the model state. Optional.

N(0,Q) is a normal distribution with 0 mean and covariance Q.

For example, in the case of a moving physical object, the model state is

[ x ]
[ v ]

where x is location and v is velocity. (Earlier I used x for the entire model state. Here I use x just for the location.) Then with radar or whatever, you usually only observe the location, and current velocity is unobservable. So your observation model is

[ 1 0 ]
[ 0 0 ]

so that

[ 1 0 ] [ x ] = [ x ]
[ 0 0 ] [ v ] [ 0 ].

This is the owl you need to have, before doing anything with a Kalman filter. You really need to come up with these things on your own, based on what kind of a process you have.

Then Kalman filter tells you, how to best estimate the real state vector at each time step, when both your state transition model, and your observation contains noise.

You are correct, many Kalman filter tutorials are a mess, where the explanation of the parts of the chosen process model, and parts of the Kalman filter, are blended together and the reader has a hard time telling them apart. And quite often they start with the simplest possible example, where the model state is 1-dimensional, i.e. just one number. And where the process model is a constant (no change): x(t+1) = x(t). So F = 1. This can lead even further confusion, what is the dynamical model and what are the parts of the Kalman filter, when the model is so small that it sort of disappears in the equations.
L'Avion was purchased by OpenSkies and was operating alright, pre-COVID. You're kinda misattributing the failure here from a worldwide unforeseen global pandemic to "bad business decisions".

MaxJET failed because they tried to price themselves nearer to a budget airline while offering business-class seating/experience. The low margins this offered forced them to close down when they couldn't adjust for fuel price fluctuations and salary increases. A closer analogy, but still not quite there.

La Compagnie still exists and operates their premium Newark<->Paris line.

Would you prefer that IC levels just ended at some point and everyone got shuffled onto the management track if they wanted further progress?
I genuinely thought at one point that saying "please" and "thank you" to it was unethical, because it was anthropomorphising the machine in a way that encouraged unhealthy mental models of what these things actually are.

I've softened on that a bit having talked to people who are polite to it purely to avoid getting out of the habit of being polite to other people.

I still think it's weird to say please and thank you though. My prompting style is much more about the shortest possible command prompt that will get me the desired result.

From Wikipedia,

> An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources, and provides common services for computer programs.

The web browser certainly provides a broad base of hardware and software resources that could be managed to create common services for other apps to run atop.

Don't get too tripped up with limited modes of thinking, with applying only your model of what you know. An OS is an abstract idea: it doesn't have to be limited to a thing running on bare metal. And indeed, given the prevalence of data centers & hyperscalers, I'd wager a very sizable portion of OSes running today are virtualized, are guest OSes running on other host OS.

Air Canada has a premium economy option on many flights, that costs like 20-50% extra for more width and legroom. I've never been tempted by it though— until there's a lie-flat bed it's still just going to be a long uncomfortable sit no matter what.

I wonder how many people do pay for it vs just get it as a status/points upgrade.
You can't argue with my original point so instead you're trying to find something wrong with my wording.

Fun recursive food fact: the filling between the wafers of a kit-kat bar is ground up kit-kat bars.
X can easily support per-display DPI -- clients just have to eschew the legacy global DPI setting. The Xrandr extension knows the dimensions of each display in both pixels and millimeters from its EDID. Clients interested in making adjustments based on per-display DPI could simply use those values obtained from Xrandr. These values can be wrong, of course -- monitors have been known to lie in their EDID reports -- but they'd be wrong in Wayland too.

Of course, no one actually wants to do this work because there is a deep-seated intent to salt the earth where X once stood.

In the US and the season is almost over. Perhaps there is something in the South, New Mexico, or Arizona. The first step is read the blurb on the Forest Service website. You want to try for an interview with the responsible FS employee. The job varies. For me it's just go around twice a day and check receipts and inform people of regulations for which I get a free campsite with water, sewer, and electricity. Other positions my require work like cleaning restrooms for which you would receive a small salary.

Good luck!
I’m curious who is bankrolling this effort. According to the article, he founded “Holiday Swap”, and that gave him the cash to start Global Airlines. I could only find one investor.

That being said, based on what I’ve gathered, he might be starting the airlines with wet leased airplanes from HiFly[1]. So, my guess is this starts as a custom livery, and custom services.

That being said, this seems weird on the “sniff test” basis, and seems very personality driven — which we’ve seen be successful before (wework, Tesla, Apple, FTX, Virgin Group). I think if they’re able to pivot from a reality distortion field to a viable business, this will be wonderful!

> for the same or more cost

Adjust for inflation, and baseline tickets are cheaper than they were a decade ago, and significantly cheaper than they were a decade before that. The only reason the difference isn't even more significant is that prices are now at the point that it's nigh-impossible to cut anything further and still have a functional flight.
The only person hurt under that scheme would be just that, people who go viral out of nowhere. Other users could re-upload the video to mirror it though, so there's an easy workaround.

Seems like a small price to pay for a YouTube with integrity that respects both creators and viewers and treats both fairly without trying to exploit anyone.

It will be interesting to see where EVs fit into the used car market, as the battery is a wear item and is responsible for a significant amount of the price of the car (i.e. what the price will be on a 10 year old EV that will require an $8000 replacement battery).
And what is the cost difference in fuel?

Gas is pretty expensive, and some EVs are cheap or even free to charge

How do total ownership costs compare?
