> Any twin engine can fly with one engine out.

That generalizes to 'any plane with more than one engine can fly with one engine out'.

> The over-water part is that it can fly on one engine for a long distance to get back to an airport - which tends to be further away if you're flying over the ocean.

That's where certification comes in: not all twin engine planes are ETOPS certified.

> Basically having a bit more margin in the design for extended endurance with an engine out.

Yes, and that translates into much more work than just 'a bit more margin' under the hood, to get that margin you also will need to take this into account during the design phase of the aircraft, crew training, maintenance schedule etc. Incidents under ETOPS conditions are rated more severely than those in other situations.
What? Are you saying this in jest? Then I'm missing the humor because this is completely false...
We are adding support for inference servers to Pipeless. We started by the ONNX Runtime, and OpenVINO, CoreML, CUDA and TensorRT execution providers. Some people mentioned me to integrate also with the Triton server, however I still need to deep into that and check its license. The good part is, there is no cold start right now, at the cost of having some resources allocated from the node start.
I mean the idea would be you download the app but use my server instead of of the default ones.

This is doable, but it doesn't have great ergonomics. Here https://godbolt.org/z/1z4qP8esb you can find a general-purpose function to_static_array(), which can turn any dynamically sized input range into a std::array at compile time. The string is stored as a std::array NTTP and not contained in the binary.

But there is a big catch: the range must be returned from a constexpr function. So to get the correct source_location object you always need to spell out the entire `to_static_array<100>([] { return current_file_name(); }` expression where you need it.

So while this does work for source_location::file_name() it doesn't for source_location::function_name() as that will always result in the name of the lambda.

So it's only a partial solution. And has terrible ergonomics for this particular use case. so I don't think we have completely eliminated the need for macros just yet.

But other than that it's a great tool if you want to do some constexpr computations with std::vector or std::string and then turn the result into a constant-sized compile-time array, optionally baking it into the binary.

Base load.

Wind and solar are terrific but unreliable. What if it’s not windy or sunny?

So we need something to replace coal, which provides the grid’s base load. That thing can basically only be nuclear at this point.

The grid is really delicate. You need just the right amount of power to keep it at 50Hz. Too little, brownouts. Too much, overload. So you need a really really stable base load, and one that you can turn up a little and down a little whenever you want: to account for the wildly varying input from wind and solar. :-)

Almost more important than the power generation in many countries these days is the grid. With no grid, or a poor grid, or a grid that can’t store energy, you can build all the wind you want: but you can’t bring it online.

> The median approval time to connect to the grid for a new US power project has climbed by 30-days/year since 2001; and has doubled since 2015, to over 1,000 days (almost 3-years) in 2021. Wind and solar projects are now taking longest to inter-connect, due to their prevalence, lower power quality and remoteness.

I don't understand why investing money in something that it is reliable and not requiring major reworks on the electric grid would be beneficial, incredible! I am more baffled than you.

also, in case you didn't know sweden doesn't have a huge amount of sun (especially in winter), wind is more affordable but you can't rely on a unique energy source.
Due to being close to one of the poles it makes it so that the energy requirements are at its highest when solar produces the least.

It is rare but not unheard of to have 0 hours of sun in December[1].

Two reasons. Firstly, nuclear power stations are a convenient way to produce material for nuclear weapons.

Secondly, because they're hugely expensive, they always require massive government subsidies, so are a convenient way to pipe taxpayer money to "useful friends".

Yeah but bubbles sound like a class difference, astrology is just pseudoscience. People seldom get mocked for being a libra, but they often get prejudiced for having less money.
On which planet is nuclear more expensive than the ones you mentioned?
energy storage technology is still lacking. which means we burn coal or gas when the sun isn't shining.

wind and solar are geography locked, i don't think solar is efficient in winter of Sweden , also isn't as cheap if you sume the 9x battery storage that you need to be sure that you have enough energy, is harder to manage distributed energy pipeline, that why you make mix of mostly wind and solar and base of nuclear, if you want to go green.

A vector should be people's default data structure, but this presentation is bizarre, because it is based on looping through every element of a vector or a list to find the element you want.

Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Headset. I can stay connected to both my workstation (with enough range to cover my house and some of the yard) and my phone at the same time. This allows me to wander/pace away from my desk during meetings, and also answer calls without taking it off. It's super comfy, and comes with two batteries so the base can charge one while the other is in use, meaning you never have to plug it in to charge (if you're away from the base station and just using them as Bluetooth headphones, you can also charge with a USB-C cable). The quality is pretty good (not as good as my Sennheisers but good), and the battery compartment has a thoughtful magnetic catch instead of a bit of plastic that will break off. The styling is muted and not super "gamery". There's even an 1/8" jack if you need to listen to something that only has analog out.

It's a wonderfully designed piece of kit and I highly recommend it to anyone who works on a computer or is a PC gamer (edit: now that I think about it, it should also work on most modern consoles, but I can't vouch for that).
This is cool. This might be a silly question, but what are the scenarios where it's useful for fine-tuning on the edge with small devices? I get inference on the edge, and curious about metrics on that for Whisper, but isn't it better to fine-tune on beefier infrastructure and then deploy it for inference on the edge?
As Donald Rumsfeld famously said when working his way through the permutations in a confusion matrix:

"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tends to be the difficult ones."

yup that's why you'd pin the memory and the core for the critical task. which, alas, will affect performance of the other cores and all other tasks. and whoosh there goes the BOM...

which again as we both probably are familiar with leads to the SoC designs with a real time core microcontroller and a HPC microprocessor on the same package. which leads to the question how to architect the combined system of real-time microcontroller and compute power but soft real time microprocessor such that the overall system remains sufficiently reliable...

Well, in a military context 'evacuation' might be 'pull the eject lever', but in a commercial aircraft the landing bit isn't optional because there are no ejection seats and there isn't a way to exit the plane other than after getting it on the ground (or the water) in one way or another.

That prerequisite step may never be completed, due to the aircraft being destroyed before it can be evacuated.

> more optimistic view people had of tech at the time vs today.

Probably because there was yet not that much weaponized targeted advertising, brain rot content, and social media designed to make you consume content all day that gives you non-stop dopamine, then makes you feel depressed about yourself.

Tech was more of an extra tool to aid life IRL, and hadn't yet completely absorbed and replaced IRL entertainment and interactions. It was easier to separate and limit your on-line activity from your daily life than today without the feeling that you're missing out.

The online presence was all about niche online communities, games, forums, bulleting boards, and chat groups, instead of all being absorbed into Subreddits that gamify your engagement for upvotes to sell it to investors and advertisers.

Consumer PC hardware at that time was mature and reliable enough to not require a PhD or make you hate using it, but still progressing quite fast to make you excited about the next OS, video games, CPUs and GPUs(back when people could actually afford them).

It was a wild transitional period for tech, from 32bit CPUs to 64bit, DirectX 8 to 9 to 10, single core CPUs to multi-core, some of the best movies, videogames and franchises launching in that period, instead of all being sequels, rehashes, reboots and remakes of old franchises like today. It was a great time to be alive and whatness all that, hence the optimism you mentioned.

Oh, and all videogames (and SW in general) shipped as "Gold" on discs, fully finished, tested and patched, no bullshit broken preorder cash-grabs needing the famous zero-day patches to work as advertised, treating their customers as beta-testers, plus half the game being sold to you as an extra DLC six months later.

As my post says, some other jurisdictions have chancery courts just like Delaware, which means getting quick access to a business only court, and quick generation of case law.

But I think you - and most others that repeat that cookie cutter advice - are still missing the opportunity. Being able to get a competent court trial for something weird is absolutely valuable, but if you don't like the case law in Delaware you can literally argue for the opposite result in another state. Calculate the risk (and be good at math)

To me, that's a really fine reason to not use Delaware, for a fresh slate. You can shape the world, or craft a slice of it that suits you.

I agree with you that there are less service providers in other states. And they don't get as much action and have less reason to be competent too. My primary point still stands, most people don't need Delaware, most people never need those other service providers, never need a state court. If they ever get big and complex they're still most likely going to be in federal jurisdiction anyway - or have the option of moving a case to federal jurisdiction. Random entrepreneurs and placeholder company creators need a registered agent and that's it.

Successful UK companies don't manage to reach anywhere near that because the owners/shareholders usually get a juicy offer from non-UK buyer and prefer an easy payday rather than further developing their company/products internationally. There's too many successful food companies bought by US companies in the past 30 years, the latest being today Mars (USA) buying Hotel Chocolat (UK) for £534m.

In Europe the nationalism/laws in Germany and France is very high so it doesn't happen as often. That's why you see UK selling Rolls Royce (to German rival) and Jaguar and Land Rover to India. The opposite will never be allowed to happen. The UK politicians allow it to appease foreigner rich folk and hope they love Britian in return (they don't). Prime example is the sale of ARM in 2016.

If one reads Bloomberg/FT they regularly go on how UK public companies are a great buy given their shares are low but their dividend payouts high, but international investors do not invest for unknown reasons (because UK is regarded as a sh*ithole). So the current marketcaps of UK companies should in fact be much higher if they had the proper investment by international investors like they do to other countries.

HN does skew towards skeptical of government regulation and control of AI. People are concerned about government usage of AI, particularly in the realms of facial recognition, automated sentencing, algorithmic bias, and security (LLMs are pretty insecure right now and there are companies trying to sell the US government on using them in the military). There's obviously a lot to be concerned about on the subject of government abuse of AI, and that gets conversation on HN.

However, given that this specific article is about selling access to an AI girlfriend, I think we're probably OK to talk more about the corporate angle than the government angle. Unless you're predicting that the 2024 election is about to get real weird, "what if the US government starts offering AI girlfriends" is not going to be at the top of my worry list any time soon.
> What if it’s not windy or sunny?

Sweden is 528 000 km² and there is part a geographical spread even into sea which use to have weather patterns not following those at land, part complemented heavily by hydro, and part large battery parks already in use to complement wind.

What kind of issues still remain after all these countermeasures? Still requiring countermeasures on the extremely costly scale of a massive nuclear expansion?
