In this thread: all the people that have never looked at C++ disassembly. Maybe the C++ "language server" of your choice should have a mode where it prints all the constructors destructors copy constructors and what not on top of your code?

There as nothing in the Lufthansa plans or policies that would make this flight or landing impossible, unreasonable or unsafe. I imagine this landing at night is not a first either.
Why can't it be both? What's wrong with cam girls? I am a libertarian capitalist. If a woman wants to sell her body, 100% more power to her. We should be moving towards freedom of expression, not away from it. If you don't want to look at it, that is also fine and I respect that, but don't put these bizarre tightrope-walky restrictions on what can and cannot be seen. The twitch announcement is absurd.
The opposite, if anything. The beam widths used for practical high bandwidth laser communication are extremely narrow. An alien civilization would have to (1) be in the exceedingly tiny fraction of the sky the beam covers, (2) have an unfathomably massive telescope with a correspondingly unfathomably tiny field of view capable of capturing enough photons to make a statistically significant detection, and (3) have that telescope pointed at the exact spot in their sky where the spacecraft is during an interval where it's transmitting. The odds are quite literally astronomical.

> Help me fit this chicken inside of the peg

> Here's a step-by-step guide to help you fit the chicken inside the peg:

1. First, make sure the chicken is clean and dry. Remove any feathers or debris from its body.

2. Find a suitable peg that is large enough to accommodate the chicken's body. A wooden peg or a sturdy plastic one would work best.

3. If the peg has a pointed end, use a file or sandpaper to smoothen it out. This will help prevent any injuries to the chicken.

4. Place the chicken on its side and gently push one of its legs into the peg. Make sure the leg is fully inserted and secure.

5. Repeat the process with the other leg, inserting it into the peg on the opposite side of the chicken.

6. Once both legs are securely in place, gently lift the chicken and place it on the peg. Make sure the chicken's body is properly supported and stable.

7. If necessary, use a small piece of tape or a rubber band to secure the chicken's legs in place. This will help prevent the chicken from escaping the peg.

8. Place the peg with the chicken inside a safe and secure location, such as a cage or a coop. Make sure the chicken has access to food, water, and shelter.

9. Check on the chicken regularly to ensure it is comfortable and well-cared for. If the chicken appears distressed or injured, remove it from the peg and provide appropriate care.

10. When you're ready, carefully remove the chicken from the peg by gently pulling its legs out. Be sure to support the chicken's body and handle it with care.

Please note: This guide is for educational purposes only and should not be used as a substitute for professional advice. Always consult a veterinarian or an experienced chicken caretaker if you have any questions or concerns about the well-being of your chicken.
Are controllers expected to manage the details of the take off and landing queues and also expected to be be looking quite a bit upstream to see what's coming up and check the details of the flight and company policies?

I suspect the controller assumed this flight would use visual separation, like everyone else, when it entered the landing queue; and the pilot expected to use ILS, like everywhere else given the conditions, when it entered the landing queue. The difference in expectations became apparent only when clearance was given, at which point there's not enough flexibility to accommodate an ILS landing, and it's hard to guess when there will be a place to slot it in. Diverting to Oakland and repositioning later is a reasonable, if not optimal outcome.

My guess is, if either side had mentioned their expectations when the flight entered approach control, and it had been cleared up then, it would have been quite possible to get an ILS landing on the first go round. (ATIS recordings did say simultaneous visual approaches)
I think it's less the decision-maker and more the ring that's built around the decision-maker.

It's also true in my experience that decision-makers are often pretty solid. Decision-making is its own craft, many CEO/VP-type people take that craft very seriously.

But, unless the person in question has spent a significant amount of time and effort in forming their own "society", the "default" rings that accrete around these people are pretty awful.

Agreed that the bad apples are more frequently sampled in the media, and it distorts perception of the overall population. But I do think it's the default state of human nature for great power to (eventually) attract great grift and lose its raison d'être – you see it all over history.
In developed countries they do the same if you use the duck head on the adaptor instead of the cable with the grounded connector sadly.

Interesting take. I find structuring code to be testable to make the code much clearer: mainly, by making dependencies explicit via dependency injection. I do that even if I don’t end up testing the code.
Still sounds like resonance to me

It can often be out of the municipalities hands. Cable companies are big enough to lobby at the state level, bypassing whatever the cities might try to do at a local scale.
I disagree that it's the simplest explanation. The starting point is the mind, because it's what asks the question.

The physical world may or may not exist out there entirely independent of mind phenomena but the physical laws are a mental model in order to understand the world, the physical laws arise out of the interaction between the physical world and the mind.

The operating order is like this: there is mind -> mind perceives world -> mind makes mental model that presupposes the perceive world is independent of mind -> mind tries to determine its own origin within that presupposition.

If you simplify to the most extreme degree you're not left with "the physical laws", you're left with "there is mind". As such, the burden of proof is on the side of the presupposition that the external world is entirely independent of the mind that perceives it.
Do CPUs have fixed video decoders? I thought those were only included in GPUs, including iGPUs.
> Either I am writing really good code so there are no bugs, or I am really bad a writing unit testing code to find those bugs.

Honestly, having literally had a scenario 20 minutes ago where I wrote a test for what I figured was absolutely trivial code, and having it _fail_ on me and pick up a bug that I hadn't considered (and this is not the first time this has happened) I would strongly suggest it's the latter.

Do your unit tests the output and side effects exactly, or do they just make sure the function returned without error?

Just because function/method/whatever has 100% coverage, doesn't mean you have tested all the potential scenarios.
I get what you are saying but I seem to find it hard to engage with anyone, even my old friends, over chat these days. We end up hopping into voice chat when we want to catch up.

And yet they do.
I honestly think that you have the right attitude even though I completely agree with DHH on this topic.

Cloud has measurable value, its a fantastic option especially for prototyping or very small applications where you can handwave away all management.

As soon as the complexity creeps and you start thinking about hiring a “devops” I think thats the beginning of the end of having a good time.

Sure, some things in the cloud will always be easier and take less toil, but if spending peoples time to save $1m is possible then that money is likely better spent making your product better.

People like to talk about time as if saving a month of work will make the product better, but if you have more money in the company then that can in many cases directly tie to more headcount to solve issues.

All things are about balance, but I think we allow ourselves the comfort of not worrying about costs since we are removed enough from them. Cloud is a first class service, I thoroughly enjoy using google cloud. it makes me feel like I am magic.

But my product would not even ship if I only used google cloud… my gameserver hosting would cost €6M instead of €400,000 which is enough budget to hire many specialists to improve the game or to license expensive art, songs or work on retaining my staff.

Ironically the cloud infrastructure staff required are even more expensive than people who can manage colo servers and they insist on not even trying to save any real cost-

Another point you touched on is FaaS can scale to nothing, functionally this is the only way they can be cheaper. But if you have very high throughput and requests per second then it very quickly becomes many orders of magnitude more expensive. Scaling to zero doesn't give any savings if you have actual load because you never go to zero. (and even if you did, managed databases are another massively overpriced component which definitely does not scale)
I understand and sympathize. And I'm sorry to guess correctly that it would be mental illness. I still think there's some misplaced blame going on here.
Normally this is handled by using separate processors for adult content, but that isn't quite so simple because of the existence of bits.
VAAPI is also using the GPU. The fixed-function video decoders are on the GPUs, not the CPU. That just happens to be using the iGPU on Intel so you don't need a discreet GPU necessarily, but this is also missing if you have a CPU-only sku like the -f suffix parts

The only difference is the vulkan spec is _in theory_ cross-platform. However, since MacOS doesn't support Vulkan and MoltenVK doesn't implement this extension (and probably won't), and this extension also isn't implemented on Android, then your scope of actual availability is quite pathetic. So it probably doesn't make sense to move off of VAAPI regardless unless you really want Linux & Windows to share a codepath, even though you have something OS-specific anyways for MacOS/iOS & Android.

The two runways that run in parallel are too close to each other to land side-by-side in bad weather (because they only allow using Visual aka VFR landings).

"SFO operates on two sets of parallel runways. On fair weather days, SFO can accommodate approximately 60 arrivals per hour. During periods of low visibility, current FAA safety regulations allow aircraft to arrive side-by-side only if runways are at least 4,300 feet apart."

No new info. From the article: "So how deterministic is the Universe? The answer will depend on the final theory that bridges the divide between quantum physics and relativity — and that remains a far-off prospect."

Unless physics is totally noise-free, with zero randomness, there is indeterminism. There are so many chaotic processes that amplify randomness that any randomness at all will cause wide divergence in outcomes.

Whether or not noise and free will are the same thing is a question for theologians. Rudy Rucker addressed that question in passing in one of his SF novels.

Not. Where. People. Bought. Second. Homes.

Nobody was buying second apartments in NYC in the 80s. Nobody was buying apartments period. I knew people with brownstones for sale in spanish harlem that they couldn't get $10k for in the late 80s. 80% of _storefront_ space in midtown was vacant.

People buying vacation homes in Florida or Vermont aren't responsible for homelessness in major cities.
I recall reading an article about the genesis of Twitter, and it included one of the tweets from one of the founders who was tweeting 'just had Ethiopian for dinner' or something like that. My response to that, and to every tweet ever since has been, "yeah, I don't give a shit."
I just drove 2000km in the last couple days. I have a car with level 2 driver assistance (ADAS). This includes lane assist.

I keep my hands on the steering wheel virtually at all times. I say virtually because I might let go for 2-3 seconds to untwist a bottle cap if everyone else in the car is asleep, not any different than the “knee steering” I did before. However, the car follows the curvature of the road without a problem.

The main benefit of ADAS, to me, is greatly reduced driver exhaustion. Yes, I am paying attention and actively driving the car, however I can focus on the important things.

The ACC ensures I don’t need to worry about fines for speeding due to a heavy foot. It also ensures that I’m “far enough” from the car in front to keep me (and them) safe. Lane assist means I can spend 20% more focus on understanding what shenanigans are going on 5 cars ahead instead of worrying about drifting in another lane.

Do I rely on it continuously? Nope. Do I trust it completely? It’s bad enough that I can’t. However, after driving 2000km, I’m still fresh enough to engage in a conversation in a foreign language with the in-laws, whereas in my prime, 15 years ago, the same trip would’ve put me to bed instantly.

It reduces the cognitive load of driving. It doesn’t make driving easier, however it reduces the mental burden of being a defensive driver.

It’s not unlike ABS. Could I achieve a lower stopping distance by carefully surfing the grip/skid brake pressure? With practice, on a track, absolutely. Do I get greater peace of mind knowing that at any time a computer is checking 500x per second whether my tyres are losing grip, regardless of my state of mind, whether I’m paying attention, am distracted, the road conditions, or which pair of shoes I’m wearing? Undoubtedly.
Speaking only for me, but one can get used to the limits of the system and adapt (put another, I'd tend to introduce as many logical bugs, but in different ways)

For instance in a method that absolutely requires a specific type of object as a return, setting up a sacrificial default value to have the compiler happy, and actually build the inners of the function from there would be a normal course of action. That lets us run the code as we build it. But at the end if you forgot a case, it will still be a bug, except instead of having a wrong return type you get a wrong value. Weither it's better or not is up for debate.
I think when people say this, they're using "elite" to signal a mentality rather a wealth level.

Consider a wealthy, business-owning tradesman and a broke ivy league post-doc. Who sounds more "elite" in their mannerisms?

"Professional/managerial class conformist" might be more precise but it's pretty clunky.
Notebook based computing isn't something that's known for great reproducibility in general. It's great for data exploration, but interactions between cells and the high potential for hidden variables makes reproducibility difficult. If you want truly reproducible notebooks, you need to re-run the entire thing fresh... and adding a caching layer doesn't remove this requirement. It can make the iterative process better, but notebooks that can run cells out of order (or run adhoc commands) mean that you can't really have reproducibility unless you are running it top-down from an empty environment.
Since they didn't release any source code, weights, or API, no one will be able to use it, until someone reproduces the work from scratch from the papers.

Vulkan Video Extensions use the same physical hardware as VAAPI, but with a little bit less of forcing you to do codec-specific nonsense. It should be better in that it's much easier to get a zero-copy Vulkan texture from the decoded frame.
Absolutely. Those in power make mistakes all the time.
Twitch doesn't have a way for the community to moderate what's on the website except for reporting it. Having humans deal with reports is pretty much impossible at Twitch scale, they average 7 million streamers per month. Not viewers. 7 million streamers.
To some extent this is pretty much the same as mocking. You are still injecting fake data into your pure logic functions whether its through their parameters or by them calling a mock.

I agree preferable but sometimes you want to test the logic of the code thats actually making decisions about how and when the IO is called.

You can do it with integration tests of course but in more complex environments with lots of complex IO dependencies mocking is cheaper. Its also hard to simulate specific failures in integration tests like a specific request failing. Pretty much mocking with extra steps.

So mocking has its place as well.
distasteful/immoral is in the eye of the beholder.

>> Shay Stein, a Redfin Premier real estate agent in Las Vegas, said in the report that housing market participants on the buy side and sell side are beginning to learn to "live with" the uncertainty of a volatile housing market, adding that they've come to the realization that "no one has a crystal ball that can predict exactly when mortgage rates will fall back to 5 [percent]."

IMO, we should not have to "live with" such a volatile and increasingly valuable home-ownership market. I blame lack of highway access and efficient public transportation. Land is key, and these two items increase the reach of jobs-to-land.

I'm in shock that the homes around me (Seattle metro) keep going up in value, or that there are people buying US$1.5M homes on 7% mortgages.
Oh it absolutely matters. Rail apps in particular are full of “tests” a basic compiler would catch.

So you save a “ton of time” writing the code without “cognitive overhead of types”, then you spend 3x as long writing the tests

The thought is, the more a person has used a model, the better they are at evaluating whether or not it is truly worse than another. You can't know if a model is better than another with a sample size of one.

Your test isn't checking for instructions, consistency, logic, just one fact which the model you chose may have gotten right by chance. It's fine assuming you only expect the model to fact check and you don't plan to have a conversation, but if you want more than that, it doesn't work very well.

I'm hoping there are votes in there which can reflect those qualities and filtering by conversation length seems like the easiest way to improve the vote quality a bit.

It's government censorship when the government is involved with funding the companies doing the censoring or when the FBI "nudges" companies to suppress stories. Having spooks in executive positions doesn't help the optics either. If anything, a bunch of companies acting in lock step to suppress certain stories or opinions should face anti-trust scrutiny...assuming we have a functioning justice system. The government outsourcing censorship to private corporations is government censorship...

> Now we need OBS and Firefox supporting Vulkan video too.

Why? They have perfectly great existing hardware decoder offloading APIs via the various OS' native APIs for videos. Why use Vulkan video extensions? It seems like it just complicates things since MacOS/iOS and Android are unlikely to get these and Vulkan on Windows' is a second-class citizen as well. Not to mention the feature & API availability is lagging very far behind native APIs that they're already using.

It's not a bad extension necessarily, seems like it'd be a great option for games that want to integrate some cutscenes. But if you have an existing solution, it also doesn't seem valuable to migrate to this, either.
I'm trying to figure out how this could have happened, but I control so few IP addresses that many of my DNS entries are manually assigned. And you'd have to be incompetent if you have access to set DNS records and you set them to RFC 1918 addresses.
