Subspecies is taxonomic category below species that isn’t in the standard ranking.

Reindeer have a bunch of subspecies. And there is argument if there are one species or six. Caribou are American and reindeer are Eurasian.
Have pilots be able to seek help and not affect their ability to fly after recovery. Have planes equipped with remote control that can override pilots in extreme situations. Have cameras inside the cockpit and cabin stream live using the LEO, alongside all the data otherwise recorded in black box. The latter is being already discussed anyway.

A lot of recent developments made things possible that were previously outrageous. In-cabin pilots will be reduced to mere backup, and eventually completely replaced by autonomous systems, just like the train engineers do nowadays, with the only pilots left working remotely in command centers ready to take over if needed.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but vast majority of aviation deaths nowadays is caused by human factor, including pilot mistakes.

If we can trust electronic voting or remote surgeries using robots, there’s no reason this couldn’t be a thing. Seems like the predictability of the heavily regulated and standardized aviation makes it a much better candidate for autonomous systems than automotive, and I’d argue that the public has already somewhat OK-ed the latter.

I’ve not heard anyone call them irrational for voting to protect their job access.

The irrational takes regarding immigration IMO are the ones suggesting immigrants are a unique source of increased crime, despite data analysis suggesting otherwise.

That's the real issue then. Nothing would stimulate automation faster than suicidal pilots.
Zero bytes are always allocatable.

Unless you need zero byte (and other) pointers to be consistently unique.

But that would mean allocating and deallocating some memory for zero byte requests, to provide unique addresses. Or some reserved memory address span, outside of available (real and virtual) RAM, for zero byte pointers.
I think what I was imagining there being a schematic which called for a board to be hammered into place at a particular location, and some of these being more exposed to wear than others (as well as being of different strengths because of the dimensions of the board, and if I'm not mistaken different parts of a ship are constructed with different kinds of wood).

If we're feeling inclined to Greek philosophy, perhaps this is the Platonic form of the boards being replaced.
I can’t agree. Combining alloc and free into one API is a false economy. You’re not really going to save any significant amount of space, and at best you’ll have an extra predictable branch or two (but probably unpredictable, I’d guess).

More importantly, it’s harder to interpret the calling code’s intent in the edge cases. What does alloc(NULL, 0) mean? Did the caller try to free a null pointer, or allocate a zero-byte object? With separate functions, you can support either or both or neither, but with the combined model the only safe thing is to support neither and panic, lest you interpret an alloc as a free or vice versa.
Is this released yet? Where can I buy or rent some? Even the previous version?
I don’t know a general way, but have definitely found straightforward ways to tell in the past in specific circumstances.
How do you know how much memory you need to allocate when you need to do the work in the first place to determine it? Maybe if snprintf was resumable by supplying a larger buffer while it was doing its work, but this seems like a lot of complexity.
If you want to replicate a 3D print of that scale, buying your own printer is likely more cost effective. You can get a good printer for only a few hundred dollars.
That's fine to define a start event, but where does it end ? Is the universe the ship of Theseus at some point ?
The modern version communicates the full premise in the first sentence, whereas the old version takes much longer to get to the point.

While the story of the ship illustrates the problem nicely, it is not as important, as the ship is merely a vehicle to get the point across - and Theseus too, presumably.
What's the unique identifier, what's the resolution, and how many bits of information is it?

Not to draw seriously messed up parallels:

I frequently get in arguments with my extended family because I believe pedophiles and criminals have rights. I talk about the documented history of innocent people being convicted of a crimes, but there are many guilty offenders. I want prison conditions to be better, and I use it as an example of "if you care about human rights, you care about them for everyone. Even convicted rapists and murderers." Sometimes I go off on another tangent because we should care about rights for immigrants as well. :) Then I lead into a 2nd bit where I say, "There are many pedophiles out there. People who have the tendencies, and people who have acted. We know that women who are pedophiles go under or un-reported." To treat some of this, we need mental health facilities available even for people we find disgusting and monstrous. We need a safe environment where they can go in anonymously and seek help. It may prevent someone who is just thinking about children from touching a child. Most people would rather just execute a SUSPECTED pedophile. That's how you get someone to hate themselves and the world and children and act on their impulses. Make the stigma and the reality for them worse. We love doing it in prisons. We love making prisoners suffer as a society.

So to draw the awful parallel: We need mental health facilities available for pilots with no ability to report-out on how many are effected. We need to ensure anonymity, and provide resources with no idea of how well they may be helping someone on the edge. Maybe loose/aggregate data points can be reported, but my strongest emphasis would be on providing anonymous support that is always and frequently available.

If you care about pilots and the passengers they ensure safety for, you need to extend the resources with no indication of how effective that is. You want them to receive care/treatment, for what very well could be a moments' ailment. If there is a long-term issue, it may help them with coping strategies. The alternative is letting it go untreated, and putting others at risk.
Frame gen is a hack, but DLSS upscaling isn't a hack, it's excellent. Native raster looks pretty bad compared to it due to aliasing, and FXAA/TAA/MXAA don't work that well compared to DLSS at removing aliasing.
If you as a pedestrian is in a place where a vehicle can strike you traveling at a speed fast enough to kill you, the size of the vehicle isn’t the problem to fix, the problem that needs fixed is finding a way to decrease the opportunity for the two of you to come together.

So no, I don’t understand the mindset of why someone would focus on and propose radical solutions that apply to a very narrow window of opportunity as opposed to proposing not so radical solutions that apply to a wide area of opportunity.

>How did he die?

I love how when I ask that same question, people like asdfgionio [1] obviously do a quick search and find (contrary to what they were told immediately afterwards) that no Capitol police was, in fact, killed during the riot. They either shut up or try to double down. I then point to Officer Sicknick's autopsy results and that usually gets them to shut up.

[1] Who I can only describe, based on his comment, as a Union Army LARPer; "We", indeed. (Actual war reenactors go to great lengths to get the uniforms, gear, and battles right; I doubt asdfgionio has ever seen a battlefield not published by EA.) I've seen several other such instances, of Redditors and such bravely proclaiming how "they" will lead another Sherman's march through states that commit the unpardonable sin of voting for the wrong candidate.
Just like Logan Paul brought visibility to the problem of suicide in Japan by filming a recent suicide victim while wearing a Pikachu costume.
> make mental health non-reportable to the aviation authorities. Instead, the shrink can report if they think there is an issue to public safety, as they would currently do for patients at risk of harming the public.

Put yourself in a pilot's shoes. Would you attend sessions if there was ANY chance of you not being able to fly? Would others? It's optional and your entire career hinges on not being grounded once. That's you, your family, and anyone else who depends on your income.

The perception of this solution is still the same as the current one - I can be grounded.

Initially it might work, but once that first guy gets grounded via the program (or maybe a few), word gets out that's what this system ends up doing - you're right back here wondering what the solution was that was so easy.

But, you are you, from the moment you were conceived in your mother's womb through to the end of your days.

Author, thou, of my inmost being, didst thou not form me in my mother’s womb? I praise thee for my wondrous fashioning, for all the wonders of thy creation. Of my soul thou hast full knowledge, and this mortal frame had no mysteries for thee, who didst contrive it in secret, devise its pattern, there in the dark recesses of the earth. All my acts thy eyes have seen, all are set down already in thy record; my days were numbered before ever they came to be.

Who cares? If you’re a writer and you know something you’re going to write will be misinterpreted, will you say to yourself “but it’s not fair to put the burden of being understood on me, so I’ll say it and confused everyone anyways.” You might, but you ought to think twice about your motives if you do.
Because it would damage the reputation of the airline if, in a future incident, the media reports that "and record show he had a previous arrest for DWI". The media would spin it to look like the airline took the risk. I'm not defending that take, just explaining it.

>I am an American and I don’t think it was particularly violet. There were 4 deaths.

There was one death. One. An unarmed rioter named Ashly Babbit who was shot by Capitol Police well after the riot's start.

One Capitol Police member, Officer Sicknick, died of a stroke the day afterwards, but the coroner specifically looked for signs of his either being hit on the head, or exposed to tear gas, as causes, and concluded that neither was true.

Had Capitol Police as a whole done their job and used their training and weapons to stop the invaders in the first place, a great deal of trouble would have been avoided while more rioters would have been shot (which I have no problem with). Why they did not do their job is something that I trust will be answered one day.

Your reply helps to show that there's no "right" answer to this question. Context matters.

Sure you can co-found. Sure you can go it alone. Both approaches can work, both can fail.

From my perspective, I've always had co-founders. I've found that having to convince a partner of an idea is a good way to filter out crap ideas.

Whichever way you go, employee or co-owner, it's important to find people uou can listen to, and that will listen to you. Sometimes you'll be right, sometimes they'll be right.
> I don’t have a better solution

There is an easy one.

Simply remove mental illness as a thing you have to report.

I suspect that not getting help is far more likely to lead to an eventual bad outcome than any benefit you get from screening which causes everybody to hide everything.

Medical leave for prolonged treatment, however, is a bit trickier.

> But when people decide to behave indecently in public places, then I don’t think those sorts of norms should apply.

Why should they not apply? The more unfortunate aspects of the human condition haven't changed very much throughout history, and only recently is it possible to make a poor decision that may be the laughingstock of millions of people tomorrow. If anything, the social media landscape makes those sorts of norms more important than they’ve ever been.

> An inebriated person on the street has decided to accept that people will see them in a compromising situation.

An inebriated person by definition isn’t making that decision knowingly. And that’s the point of a stance towards decency. When someone is in a compromised state and unable to fully take care of themselves, it seems especially shitty to take advantage of them in that state.

I’m not saying that being publicly intoxicated is something that deserves no concern. But taking photos/videos and/or publicly shaming people isn’t the answer.

Picture yourself on your worst day. A day that you would strongly prefer never happened. And ask yourself if it’s helping anything if people record you and turn you into social media fodder.

Theres a moral/ethical bankruptcy at the center of this.
> In September 1890 Maud Berkeley, aged 29 and living on the Isle of Wight, and her sister attempted a similar divination which she recorded in her diary: ‘dropped … hazelnut, into the fire’, which, to her disappointment, ‘chose to “burn and die” instead of “crack and fly” as it ought to have done’. She came to the conclusion that ‘such practices were mere nonsense’ – but that did not stop her continuing to play them.

It would be interesting to know further how seriously these rituals were taken.

Most societies have some sort of magical thinking, but it seems to be that fervent belief in omen-like phenomenon decreases as the metaphysic of a given culture becomes more naturalistic and mechanistic. Magical thinking tends to emerge in situations of uncertainty and disorder, and even if there's no honest conscious belief in a supernatural process, there's often a vestige of comfort and romanticism in being able to influence a system with technically uncontrollable parameters. Bronisław Malinowski talks about this in his anthropological work on traditional Pacific Islander cultures:

> They have, in fact, a whole system of principles of sailing, embodied in a complex and rich terminology, traditionally handed on and obeyed as rationally and consistently as is modern science by modern sailors. How could they sail otherwise under eminently dangerous conditions in their frail primitive craft? But even with all their systematic knowledge, methodically applied, they are still at the mercy of powerful and incalculable tides, sudden gales during the monsoon season and unknown reefs. And here comes in their magic, performed over the canoe during its construction, carried out at the beginning and in the course of expeditions and resorted to in moments of real danger. If the modern seaman, entrenched in science and reason, provided with all sorts of safety appliances, sailing on steel-built steamers, if even he has a singular tendency to superstition— which does not rob him of his knowledge or reason, nor make him altogether pre-logical—can we wonder that his savage colleague, under much more precarious conditions, holds fast to the safety and comfort of magic?

> When an application frees an object it always has the original, requested allocation size on hand. After all, it’s a necessary condition to use the object correctly.

This is quite untrue in real-world C codebases unless you have a lot of discipline. I know from reading a previous article (https://nullprogram.com/blog/2023/10/08/) by this author that they hate null-terminated strings. But in your typical C code, you often allocate a bunch of memory to be used as a null-terminated string, return it or pass it to another function transferring ownership, and expect a different function to free() it. The length of the string is not necessarily the allocation size! The code could have allocated some predetermined max size for the buffer, build up the string gradually, and then add a null terminator. Thus, the function doing the free() can't pass the right size.
