> There isn't a law that prevents you from intentionally crashing other vehicles. Just around property damage and endangering other people.

Those two sentences don't make any sense next to each other. There's no way to intentionally crash your vehicle that doesn't include several other things for which their are specific laws for. One can't intentionally crash a car in the same way that you can intentionally swing a bat in your backyard without hitting anything.

Edit: Also, for what it's worth, it wasn't even his plane.

+1 Thank you for this. Very well said.
I read this as your peace of mind being more important than maintaining a schooling environment conducive to education. We need to protect kids, not expect our kids to protect us, which is what expecting them to be able to contact you during school is, protecting you from anxiety. This seems incredibly selfish, but not out of line for a society so incredibly narcissistic as that of American Millenials.
Ah dangit, I searched for his name. Thanks!
I liked the ideas behind another semver alternative called "imver" or "Immutable Versioning" (https://github.com/imver/imver/blob/master/imver.md)

that never quite caught on.
It's basically just a timestamp. It requires full backwards compatibility of public APIs and behaviors (side effects) for the lifetime of the package. Read about it on an interesting 2019 blog post about monorepos and versioning:

Probably a lot of buildings will hit the end of the lifespan just as we're going through the other hard bumps of climate change and mass population ageing, compounding the problems.
When writing an inline comment, there’s a button to make a suggestion. It inserts a markdown code fence with the existing code on the line(s), which you can edit. When you submit the comment, it shows up with diff highlighting and can be applied by the author with one click.

Essentially the same thing exists in both GitHub and GitLab
So just tack on a number - marketing.breaking.feature.patch - or market on the feature number (Solaris 11 uname will happily tell you its real version is 5.11)
> From the consumer perspective, yes, you can tip before you have the food in hand, but it's no different than if you had gone back after delivery and added a tip.

When you visit a restaurant, do you give a tip to the wait staff when you place your order or do you wait until after the service has been rendered?
Well it's trivial in ActiveRecord to avoid n+1s by preloading associations. As with any technology, if you use it wrong and inefficently then things will be incorrect and slow.
I’ll give it a shot, thanks!!
Thank you. It appears Larry Temkin was the philosopher I didn't know I was looking for

Good interview here:

Motion smoothing is great on my 120Hz TV.

Theater is fine -- I have a home theater w/ a 24p projector. I wish it had 120Hz smoothing, but at least it's not dim like my local theater.

24p content at 60Hz is really, really bad (3:2 pull down what not). At least we can agree on that. That seems to be what "turn off motion smoothing" is about, to me.

24p content at 24Hz is fine, but 120Hz is better.

EDIT: I should say that the input lag (gaming) is much greater for smoothing, so even at ~30 fps I'd run my PlayStation at 60Hz no smoothing (game mode on &c).
Right now it's independent. I just want to provide a playground and people can make more with it. Loves your idea though.
Leopards eating your face is a good thing, says leopard eating my face
Do you understand that the three 'Religions of the Book' or 'The Abrahamic Religions' all refer to the exact same God, whether that God be called 'Yahweh', 'Allah' or 'The Trinity'.

The only difference between a Monotheist and an Atheist is the the Atheist disbelieves in just one more God than the Monotheist.

Why would a person believing in just one God be more correct than a person believing in many Gods? The more the merrier, right?
If it's not already obvious, LLMs are going to be doing most of the mental work currently performed by doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc.

I have already nearly stopped using Google search for anything, in favor of GPT-4.

GPT-4 has helped me very quickly prototype things that I normally would have had to spend hours researching.

GPT-4 has also created custom curriculum for me to help me learn various things for which I have struggled to find good books/tutorials online.

There will always be many areas in which a solid human intellect and well-honed human judgment is still useful, but much of the less critical work will yield to LLMs.

If we call the difference between GPT-3 and GPT4 1x, then I would expect to see a 2x-5x improvement in LLM capability within the next few years just based on how much great work has recently gone into shrinking really big models so they can run on smaller hardware.

LLMs are not digital human minds, they are simply very good information synthesizers. Information synthesis happens to be what most white collar professionals get paid to do with their brains.
How about the following scenario:

Package A is SemVer 1.2.3, package B is PragVer 1.2.3. both A and B have big release with breaking changes and marketing hype, so now they're both at 2.0.0. It is later found that in version 1 of both packages there is a bug requiring a breaking change in order to fix. B (pragmatic) can apply the fix to version 1 branch and release it as 1.3.0. How does A (semantic) make a breaking change on version 1 and version it correctly?

TL;DR Pragmatic Versioning enables breaking changes on LTS versions.
Yup, I'm aware of both of those, but none of those tools listed so far are intended for the IR to be for human-consumable unlike disassemblers and decompilers. You think disassembly is verbose compared to a decompiler? Go look at the equivalent Vex (Valgrind's IR) for any non-trivial disassembly. It's suuuper verbose.

As far as I know, BNIL (https://docs.binary.ninja/dev/bnil-overview.html) is the only one that is designed to be readable and it still wouldn't make sense to include it in an IL comparison such as the one done here for decompilation in my opinion.

I had that same issue until I started using mine over tailscale. One of my computers acts as the DNS server for the whole network with pihole on it, and then anytime I need to get around something I temporarily disconnect from my tailnet. Super nice cause then I get no ads on my phone too.
GitHub does display them at the top of the file and along the side of each file.
I can't not think about ColdFusion and CFML when I see that...
It would also be cool if someone would explore CSS for the frontend. I think isomorphic CSS could be a really neat stack.

Edit: I actually think I recall some pure-CSS frontend examples. We might just need to combine that with backend CSS technologies.

Edit edit: Probably the biggest issue will be to prevent the server from evaluating the CSS fully but maybe something like what Next.js does with server and client components could work here.
There’s nothing incorrect about pointing out that the modern workplace reinforces busywork over meaningful engineering and managerial headcount justification. The data supports it.

Implying that “Jockeying JavaScript” isn’t real enough engineering work is also a look.

Arguing that engineering projects of scale can’t be compared because one can’t tell the difference between volume and complexity is rough conversation.

The idea that engineering on large technical projects can’t be compared across industries or eras isn’t true in an objective sense either.

Not super happy I took the time to reply to you and got told I was to get called blovating. That’s unkind.

That while stating that “everyone on HN underestimates things” and doesn’t understand how hard problems like paying someone for streaming actually is exactly the kind of nonsensical thinking that is building these large headcount companies.

Your argument is that “global payments are harder than people realize.”
But it’s simply not true. They are profoundly easier than they have ever been in history and people on hacker news are many of the very people creating those payment rails.

So I think calling their opinions “hilarious” while insulting the entire community and the person you’re talking to… it’s not… great. Calling it a “real life” Silicon Valley kinda is though, because well, it kind of literally is. This is the website of the most successful Silicon Valley incubator.

I come on here to learn and have positive interactions with people, grow intellectually and this isn’t quite what I am looking for. Thanks for your interaction though. Have a great day.
If the elevator company can put in a display, run Linux, cage and electron / webbrowser I think that's a good idea. What I don't think is great is frontend people I work with having "map" explained to them because they don't know. vscode proves "js bad" wrong over and over, crap software can be written in any language.
Wow it's amazing visualization. Thanks for suggestion.

I've also heard the term alarm fatigue. Pretty sure I heard it in the context of cybersecurity where security admins will get complacent if there's too many false alarms and potentially miss legitimate attacks.
I agree, but I don’t think that is what is meant by “watching TikTok religiously”
Yeah, it's a bit awkward.
>Denial that it ever happened vs denial that it was as bad as it was (ie that reported Covid deaths match reality) are two different things.

Agreed. I interpreted GP as referring to the former. The latter is a much larger group.

> I know quite a few conservatives that think some combination of: it’s just a flu, not actually a problem, we’ve gotten Covid many times and we were fine, death numbers are all made up, doctors are getting paid to mark deaths as Covid caused, and many other hysterical conspiracy theory beliefs.

Same, but I know more that then got COVID and changed their tune. Many are close family.

> I think you’re not in the same circles of folks that believe this stuff.

Do not assume you know anything about the people I'm around, you do not.

What I miss is the motion clarity of impulse-driven displays vs. today's sample-and-hold displays. Smooth 60 Hz scrolling on a CRT is something so visceral that just can't be replicated on modern displays.
The alternative sounds worse, no?
I find it promotes mediocrity, which is a bit counter-intuitive. People seem happy with mediocre outcomes so long as it makes money.
I love this! Looks like this would solve a common problem where product managers and marketers are running this "pragmatic" versioning scheme (release, major, minor), and developers are running some other "internal" versioning scheme that is closer to semver (major, minor, patch).

Wouldn't Pragmatic Versioning work for both?
Equally true of every ad

But they're not necessarily equivalent. If option a (0% damage) is equiprobable with option b (100% damage), then yeah, the expectation value is 50% damage. But if option b is 4 times more likely than option a, then the expectation value is 80% (1/5 *0 + 4/5*100 = 80). It's that misapprehension of the probabilities that is the error of the person failing to coverup a crime.

Just because there are only two possible outcomes doesn't mean that they are equiprobable. Not all coin tosses use a "fair" coin.

thank you fixed!
6-months does seem insanely light even if one only considers intentionally obstructing a federal investigation. Only 6 months for covering up and lying to investigators? I would have imagined that the sentence for that would be much longer. Is he additionally being tried for crashing the airplane on purpose?
Binary Ninja likewise is empty and keeps up just fine as well. It's not a coincidence that the two commercial products that are funding it are both confident enough to put their stuff online like this.

And it's no conspiracy theory or intentional sandbagging, you can see the implementation: https://github.com/decompiler-explorer/decompiler-explorer

and if anyone can improve the other tools performance we'd be happy to accept it. We reached out to the Ghidra devs: https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/issues/5228 but they didn't have any silver bullets for us either.
While true this would lead to thousands of people being online without demand. If one really wants their food in 45 minutes, or an uber driver always 3 minutes away, they need a lot of people doing nothing staring at their screens for long periods of time

Capping the # of people online would cause tons of other issues, its very easy to exploit a system like that, plus it would slow everyone down

Either we want people to do things for us, want it super fast, and want to pay everyone for every second of their time. Can't have all of these without hiring a personal driver working just for you full time

While I agree, we can always have multiple overlapping error bars to understand how the probability is distributed. I am not sure how a probabilistic forecast method is able to perform this better because the confidence interval is always generated through sampling in either situation.

Though probabilistic forecasting methods may have a Bayesian approach, it is Monte Carlo sampling that helps generate the confidence intervals.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong! Thanks :)
I am not understanding how you say you ran a cluster when you were using a managed instance so you weren’t really running it. Now , going to a VPS makes you effectively the MSP. I don’t see how that addresses the LTS issues since k8s is updating so often that you have to keep pace with the updates (that you now need to do).

I use a managed instance and manage my own private instance.

I don't think most people would sit around doing nothing for more than three months after quitting work. It's genuinely difficult to be bored for that long because you start to lower your threshold for what interests you. At some point you're going to start pencil sketching random trees or writing a shader in SPIR-V bytecode just for something to do.
Yeah they should be interact to each other. Right now I just started with it and want to share so everyone can take advantage in their ways.

> The combination is Cmd+Shift+R

On Safari, it's actually Cmd+Alt+R (no Shift)

Which was very confusing for me as I couldn't solve a cache issue with the expected Cmd+Shift+R.

Oh, and Pinky on left Alt/Option, Thumb on left Cmd, Index on R. I've never learned to combine right and left modifiers :( Probably gaming has ruined me.
I mean one of the examples above is a regular hook. Those can go in any room and there are plenty of non contrived scenarios for those, check my comment above.
> I've seen less bad crimes get years.

Exactly. Lotta people still in jail for marijuana for example.
How many people you personally know have died of hunger? Have been killed in a robbery? How many of your brothers and sisters died before reaching the age of 10? How many of your own teeth did you have (or expect to have) at the age of 30? Have you been able to afford sugar more than 10 times in your life? How many times per year do you afford to wash yourself in hot water? How many people sleep in the same room in you? In your bed? How many fleas, ticks, mites and other insects to you usually scratch out of yourself? How many times have you been physically assaulted by someone in the last year?

Just coming from an assumption that you're an average HN reader, your answers to this question are radically different from what most of humanity would have answered before 20th century (first world) or the second half of 20th century.
GDPR related somehow? If you are blocking all cookies or something it might just exclude you entirely to be on the safe side legally. I haven't used Brave but I imagine if it doesn't have that functionality, you might have a plugin that does.
I agree, I'd rather use something else, even if only for philosophical reasons, but I couldn't find anything that didn't sacrifice something - or at least that could promise it didn't.

No separate box seems to do all of 4K, Atmos, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HLG without some weird restriction like 'except the Netflix app'. Even worse if you wanted DV IQ I assume, but I think my TV doesn't support it anyway.

And honestly I think I prefer WebOS to Fire sticks' UI for example. Stock Android TV isn't great either. If I was into playing Xbox/PS games I imagine that would make a better 'hub', since it's presumably (I have no idea) more organised around your own content/games at least rather than random adverts and features you don't want. Also probably more money being spent on designing it.
Let’s just hope the consequence is enough to keep people from ever doing something as dumb as this ever again.

I followed this whole story closely and his behavior was just outrageous every step dog the way culminating in actually lying to investigators and destroying evidence of a crime.

It went far beyond conduct that is unbecoming of a licensed pilot.
The thing I’m always missing from these pieces is how. How do the rest of us emigrate, without being anglophone and teaching English, or a “digital content creator”? Or for example, “Scott” moving to Japan with his Chinese wife. How do the visas even wok out?

Moving to the (rich part of) EU from the non-Western world is certainly not easy.

I don’t know if I should read these pieces as “I can transfer freely with full job security worldwide” or “I sold everything and fought hard”.

Otherwise all I’m reading is “you should travel. It’s fun.”

General Aviation airplanes require an annual inspection (from an IA A&P mechanic -- that's airframe & powerplant with inspection authorization). My understanding is that the plane was out of annual (ie, bought as parts) and he fixed it up enough to fly. There are strict limits on what repairs you can do yourself without involving a licensed A&P mechanic. FAA actually does ramp checks on occasion to verify that your bug smasher has up to date registration and annual inspection. Regardless of how the flight ended, the flight shouldn't have happened in the first place and his PPL could be revoked for that alone.
A consequence of cognitive decline.

You're right that it can be read both ways.
Great read! Very relatable and the author drivers really good points across.
Unfortunately no, this is from the memory, from around when I first heard of WINE like 20 years ago. Might have been a discussion on osnews.com but I can't really remember it well.

>The idea that it would just not appear at all seems less probable to me than the game crashing.

Now that you mention it, the story might have been something else... there was news about linux beating windows in gaming, but the issue was not WINE but linux drivers for the GPUs at the time not having some features supported.

Again this is such a random information for me to remember it's all hazy. I'm almost 40 years old >.>
> I don't want <em> or <strong>, and I don't want a "bring attention to" element". I want bold.

When I read the above, I thought: you want bold, because you want to highlight a word. Because highlighting a word is a widely recognized way to bring attention to it. And so making it bold is just a tool, it's secondary to the actual goal.

I suspect you might not agree with that, but could you point me to the part where I got it wrong from your perspective?
Self driving technology is much more scalable than a bad or negligent driver. So it is natural to be more concerned about it, even if you’re convinced that on average it has performed better than humans.
Whether the system cost a billion dollars or not isn't the point. The point is that computer programs are categorically different to human brains because of the scale and perfect reproducibility.
SO does that. She'll put the show on pause, go do shopping, come back and resume. All while leaving the TV on.

No rational explanation either. Just... that's how she rolls I guess.
Depends on if you think people care about their place in the social ranking, which is what I thought of, or if it is their wealth compared to the average, which is maybe your theory.

There is probably some of both, now that I think of it.
> There was never a reason for anything published in the steam store to be 32bit only.

Except of course for the ease of porting 32bit games from other platforms. Games that continue to work on those other platforms. Really it's the only sane decision to not port to 64bit just for ~2% of your audience.
The only thing that works well on their smart TV hub features is the ability to block signal from my current-gen Chromecast.

Can't understand his risk/reward calculation on crashing the plane. Was the bump in views (not guaranteed, only probable) greater than the cost of the plane and potential personal hazard from crashing a plane then broadcasting it to the world?
