> Lufthansa was the only aircraft asking for ILS.

Another important detail: they did this because it was company policy, not because it's what the pilots wanted. The pilots would have been more than happy to do a visual approach.

IMHO the blame lies with the Lufthansa corporate office.

(And FWIW, I am a private pilot.)
I have not heard anything about legislation, but the NSA and CISA have been arguing for the industry to embrace memory safe languages:

https://www.nsa.gov/Press-Room/Press-Releases-Statements/Pre...

Even without legislation, I could imagine that the US government could try to enact software procurement rules that favor or require memory-safe implementations.
The Amendment (and argument) at the core of this is the 14th amendment, as was passed at the end of the civil war. Section 3, "the sedition clause" was largely enacted to prevent the leaders of the south and the rebellion from holding office ever again. This is part of the argument the lawyers supporting the ban draw on. That when they wrote the law, the discussions about it, and how they used the words in 1868, most certainly sought to include the office of the president from those positions that a person, if found guilt of breaking their oath to uphold the constitution, in the list of offices and similar roles that said person would never again be allowed to hold. Jefferson Davis, as the president of the Confederacy, was denied the right to ever hold an office again. At the time, there would have been broad support among a subset of states to elect Davis to President were he allowed to do so. So, yes, there is a similar example were many people deprived of voting for their popular choice for President.

I'm watching the actual proceedings, It's pretty interesting so far. I keep getting distracted and looking things up for more context, so I've only seen one side's arguments so far.

I think they do, maybe a little later _after_ the release: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201222

Which might make sense if it is security updates.
Agreed. It'd probably also help for OpenAI/Bard to generate some tutorials and white papers on best practices for the customer support use case - perhaps focusing on how companies can integrate ChatGPT/Bard into tools like Jira/ZenDesk to enable such workflows.
I am so delighted to see this go open source!!
Might be the light blue color scheme, which is found on the flags of Micronesia, Fiji, Palau, and Tuvalu as well as a couple of communes in French Polynesia (but also Argentina, Kazakhstan, St. Lucia, and the United Nations).

I think in particular the combination of light and dark blue as is the case with the Union Jack being present on Fiji and Tuvalu.

Fiji is of particular interest as in 2015 they held a replacement competition where many (most?) of the entries had the same light and dark blue color scheme (they ended up keeping the Union Jack flag though).

Also interestingly the Ryukyu independence movement uses this color light and dark blue scheme for their proposed flag of independent Ryukyu, as does one of the proposed flags for independent Taiwan/Formosa

I was thinking the 8 pointed star was also common in the Pacific, but I found no pacific flags with it. Australia has 7 while Nauru has 12 and Marshall Islands have 24 pointed stars. It can be argued that Bouganville’s 24 triangles form a star, though it’s a stretch.
Trinitrotoluene is great for mining. What could go wrong?
Considering that only one runway (28R, IIRC) at SFO even winks in direction of supporting autoland, and there's no continental USA support for controller-pilot datalink (only used for oceanic flight), at least outside of test flights (correctme if I'm wrong, not an expert here).

On top of that current CPDLC doesn't seem to be as well integrated to autopilot support other than pilots acking each command, and then I do not think Mode S is mandated (or exact enough) to provide good enough separation.

You're (somewhat abrasively) stating a version of my own opinion as well, but the "real threat" you mention, is very real. While "AI" (really, machine learning) is not good at most things, it does appear to be very, very good at convincing people it is good at them (for whatever reason). The threat of it being put in charge of things when it has (quite literally) no idea what it is doing, is not a small threat.
Not really. Modern 3D games have an arbitrarily placed camera and use linear algebra to flatten everything from 3d into 2d clip space and then rasterize. Games like D2 use sprites and offsets to give the illusion of 3d, they don’t have a 3d coordinate system to begin with. In games like this movement is usually constrained to 2 axes.

Also a key different is pre-rendered sprites. In games like Roller Coaster Tycoon or Diablo, models were made on expensive dedicated computers and then rendered into sprite sheets. Objects may look 3d but were usually shipped as flat assets. Some modern pixel art games will do stuff like ship a normal map with the sprite so you can do dynamic lightning on a 2d sprite.

Modern games that use parallax could easily be just rendering flat objects in 3d scenes, but 20 years ago graphics pipelines were way different so you had to be clever if you wanted 3d effects.
The dealership is getting way more than the price of a Tahoe in publicly from this.
For UART this is only about sampling away from the edges. The UART waveform does not have any feature that is usable for clock recovery, the only thing in there is that the start bit (ie. Mark) delineates the start of the frame, how many of the same bits there are is part of the payload. And the stop bit is there so that there is always a transition at the leading edge of the frame. You can do baud rate autodetection, but that is different concept than clock recovery and mostly doable in pure software (well, it is doable by Mk. 1 Eyeball, as the wrong baudrate produces somewhat obvious results).

Obviously there is a bit of history and the whole system was originally implemented electro-mechanically, which is the reason for things like two or more stopbits (it creates time for the mechanism to settle to the reset state) or even the concept of NUL character.

I think there’s a few different groups:

* homeless because of their severe drug addiction
* homeless because they can’t afford rent

Each group needs different solutions.
Proof of Stake has low energy use, simple design which aligns network usage with token price and it's not centralized as people claim (that's FUD from Bitcoin maxis; reality is it's more resistant to centralization than PoW); so long as the initial distribution is sufficiently spread out and it's set up correctly, it tends to stay decentralized even when under attack. I've seen PoS blockchains maintain good decentralization even in extreme cases after massive price drops while someone is actively trying to buy up majority of tokens (what would happen is it would send the price shooting up temporarily and the attacker loses money after it crashes back down to the original level).

Also, the fees for updating DNS records go straight to the validators (people running the nodes) and this list of validators can change over time so it's not a fixed set of entities; yet whoever they are, they always have a substantial personal stake in the reliability of the project.

You don't need to throttle data creation, with PoS, the price of the token goes up with market demand for it. You just need to make the token the main mechanism for payment for purchasing domains and doing zone file updates. This coupling can be built into the code. Many projects have done similar things. E.g. FileCoin coupling token price to storage space.

...Problem with FileCoin is that while it's good for high-read, low-write scenarios (like DNS), it's not so good if everyone needs to update files frequently as update costs become prohibitively expensive. I guess FileCoin could be great for CDN use case.

That also means that when ATC tells someone they will inform them in 10 minutes,they are obliged to tell them in 10 minutes, even if it's "sorry, we don't have a slot, we can get you info in next ten minutes or help you to diversion airport".

Not have to be reminded that there's a plane in holding waiting for information.

Unless they want a repeat of telling a plane to hold till it crashed into sea.

iOS presents the entire ToS when you update to a new major version, so clearly you are agreeing to something when you accept the update. But what about the small updates?
At the end of the day, rust is still a systems language. Lots of useful things require unsafe, including most data structure implementations and FFI - including syscalls.

I see rust's safety guarantees like having a good static type system. Static type systems don't claim to prevent all bugs, but they do catch an awful lot of bugs at compile time in practice. Rust's default safety with opt-out unsafe blocks work the same way. Despite what some zealots would have you believe, the point isn't to make every single line of code "safe". Good rust code still uses unsafe code - for example your binary includes unsafe code whenever you use Vec or Box from std. But all unsafe code blocks are explicitly called out as such, tested thoroughly (eg with miri) and usually constrained to a small part of your program. You can think about it as, C or C++ programs are 100% unsafe. Rust programs are usually only ~2% unsafe or so. That makes a huge difference in practice.

Unsafe code can also usually be encapsulated in safe wrappers. (Eg std::io::File wraps the unsafe call to open(), and std::Vec wraps some raw pointer operations). Unsafe also doesn't turn off the borrow checker. The only difference is unsafe blocks allow you to dereference pointers, call unsafe functions, and a few other things like that.
Only do what only you can do.
Yes, landing fees are public and in most countries are set same for everyone based on type of aircraft and sometimes operations, but not who is flying.

They are supposed to directly reflect funding of airport maintenance, thus fees decided based on how damaging the plane is to the runway etc.

> No, Firefox currently supports hardware video decoding with Intel's vendor specific VA-API only, which is not supported by NVIDIA.

Intel is behind VA-API originally, but I don't think it's fair to say it's a vendor specific API anymore. It's supported by the open source drivers for GPUs from all 3 vendors. It's just that the open source drivers for Nvidia cards are not very practical and the proprietary drivers only support vdpau and nvdec/nvenc
I ran a small community (thousands of members) that way and I think it was the best (or rather, least bad) approach.

There are a few reasons why it worked IMO, but the practices seem extremely difficult to scale.

- I spent a lot of time building good will in the community: personally interacting with members, calling out great community participation, etc. My positive interactions outweighed negative probably 5:1 or 10:1.

- I used the ban hammer exceedingly rarely. Like, probably about twice per year over the course of ten years.

- This was a pay-gated community, which cut down on troublemakers

- Moderators enforced policy, but I was the only one who could actually ban
I was talking to my younger sister (college student) the other day, and she mentioned that she and her friends are very reluctant to post their opinions online, especially under their real names. This was a bit of a surprise to me, because she volunteers for the Democrats and is openly lesbian, so I would have thought her opinions are generally a great match for the current cultural milieu.

I think maybe part of the puzzle is described well by Bryan Caplan:

>Who fears the left? Strangely, the main answer seems to be: leftists. I talk to a wide range of people in academia about left-wing anger and the fear it sustains. As you’d expect, the people who are most outraged by the climate of fear are non-leftists. But the people who personally experience the most fear are leftists themselves. In my private conversations, some of the most boring milquetoast technocratic leftist scholars have grimly foretold that somehow, someday, a mob of their own ideological persuasion will come for them.

In any case, she told me about one or two of her HS classmates who were actually serious in their use of social media, and how they were weird and almost maybe even poorly adjusted relative to the rest of the class.

Point being that even the youth culture you see online could just be the tip of the iceberg. (Or maybe my sister's peer group is unusual! Hard to say.)

I’ve been using Plasmic for the last 6 months to build rich featured Dapps in the web3 space. It takes some time to import all the React components I need but once you do, it is really incredible how much this speeds up my development. We now have non-developers (like designers and PMs) regularly shipping entire features to production without developer help. Really takes some of the pressure off the engineering team while drastically improving team velocity.

Just for fun during the ETHDenver hackathon, I shipped an LLM-powered NFT generator, with 0 lines of code in 3 hours, and won a cash prize. This tool completely changes the game for me and my team.
I use kde and I usually put this line in /etc/environment to enable wayland “MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1”, and you can check that you are using it and not the adapter by going to about:support and search for wayland, it should be “wayland” and not “xwayland”. It improves the performance especially for video playback and such, but also enables the toch pad gestures in some laptops and zoom in/out.

It also seems to me to have an awful lot of security-sensitive code in the critical path that is not needed for this use case.

Granted, a break in OpenSSH will get a lot of attention, but if we're operating at a level of paranoia where this is a relevant part of securing a system, that seems like the bad kind of overkill.

The GP claimed the mac was more powerful than the cloud instance, which is what I responded to with an apples to apples equivalent. And yes it's Apples to oranges, which I'm agreeing with. Your point at the top is exactly what I'm getting at, a top end mac really can't compare to a much more powerful arm box with much more ram, much better network and much better cooling running a lot hotter.

I'm not sure why you're jumping to some rant on k8s which I also dislike and don't use.

The M2 Max is real fast compared to the intel macs and I live it cause it rarely runs into cooling issues as it is just a lot better. But you can make it heat up and when you do it tanks in speed to an equivalent percent as the intel boxes do. Especially when compared to a machine that's literally got a leaf blower running cooling to it.

> Strange that basic std vec functions like insert and remove call `unsafe`

The standard library has more unsafe than most programs, because "data structures that need a lot of unsafe" has historically been an argument for being put in the standard library, because that way they'll be reviewed very carefully by experts.
How did you learn that? How could one be expected to learn that?
> The internet destroyed any idea of a monoculture long ago, but new complications cloud the online ecosystem today: TikTok’s opaque “For You” recommendation system, the ascension of paywalls that limit access to websites such as this one, the collapse of Twitter—now X—under Elon Musk, the waning relevance of news across most social-media sites. The broad effect is an online experience that feels unique to every individual, depending on their ideologies and browsing habits. The very idea of popularity is up for debate

I can't remember where I read it, but something I read made the claim that this is the reason why TV and Hollywood seem to be stuck in a cycle of remakes, spin offs, and extending already loved franchises for the last 5 or so years. The fact that there is no longer a monoculture means it's harder and harder to guess what media will be popular across a broad spectrum of people. You can make small budget things for a single niche, but it doesn't make sense to spend $100 million on a niche movie. It's riskier than ever to do something novel because our culture is so fragmented, so they're falling back on things that succeeded when we did have more of a monoculture, since they know that has broad appeal (or at least it did at one point).
> As I understand it, C++’s slow compilation comes from the fact that it usually parses all of your header files n times instead of once.

Sort of. The primary issues are:

1) The C/C++ grammar is garbage.

Note that every single modern language has grammatical constructs so that you can figure out what is "type" and what is "name" without parsing the universe. "typedef" makes that damn near impossible in C without parsing the universe, and C++ takes that to a whole new level of special.

2) C++ monomorphization

You basically compile up your tempate for the universe of every type that works, and then you optimize down to the one you actually use. This means that you can wind up with M*N*O*P versions of a function of which you use only 1. That's a lot of extra work that simply gets thrown away.

The monomorphization seems to be the biggest compile time problem. It's why Rust struggles with compile times while something like Zig blazes through things--both of those have modern grammars that don't suck.
It seems unlikely that their sales would go up that much.

That is simply not how things work. Every airline trains with passengers on board.
Thanks for the context. I've just tried this and other news on Bard (e.g. stock price for Google) and it works as well, which I wasn't aware of.
Here is my issue with this. We are assuming you need to read a "consistent snapshot" in some type of real time application. Because if it isn't real time, you can always have those snapshot type of querying on "replicas", since that is a lot easier to implement correctly without sacrificing performance.

So assuming you are looking at reading "consistent snapshot" in the context of a real time transaction. If the data that you want to read as a "consistent snapshot" is small, locking + reading is good enough in most cases.

If the data to read is too large (i.e. query takes long time to execute, and pulls a lot of data), you are going to have ton of scaling issues if you are depending on something like "repeatable read". Long running transactions, long running queries, etc are bane of all the database scaling and performance.

So you really want to avoid that anyways, you would almost always be much better of changing your application logic to make sure you can have much shorter, time bounded transactions and queries and setup better application level consistency scheme. Otherwise you will at some point hit scaling/performance problems and they will be an absolute nightmare to fix.
It's the "guys please trust us we implemented our stuff the way we promised" kind of E2EE though.
