I think the point is: were the experiments testing whether people said they liked X better and immediately engaged or were you testing whether or not the user felt good about the experience and wanted to come back long term.

My experience is meta prioritizes instant gratification, which yeah people and their immediate actions says they want. But also I’ve completely stopped using Facebook and instagram because it became clear it’s of limited value to me. Yeah, i might mouse over a piece of salacious content because it’s salacious. But i know it’s low value to me. And most of my peers are in the same boat.

> Issue it had was safe code was invalidating the invariants unsafe code was relying on. Iirc alignment.

You do recall correctly. The safe code was producing a pointer with alignment that was off, and the unsafe code dereferenced it without checking. I felt that it was kind of a bad take when several people said that it was UB caused by safe code, because really the issue was that the unsafe code wasn't doing its job. The Rust unsafe model is that you can't trust safe code when inside unsafe code. It's on the unsafe code to uphold invariants which it requires, not the safe code which calls it

Man, I think feeling crazy for trying stuff even when completely alone, is something not enough people talk about. It's clear when you do it that most artists and creatively successful people have done it and gotten over it, but it's like something that you actually don't hear about or maybe don't register until you start doing it, and do it enough to get used to the feeling and carry on with whatever you were thinking of.

> GM is not equipped to build software, and that’s okay.

No it isn't, the idea that you can be a car company of the future without being able to develop software is crazy. The trend we see from Tesla and China is the exact opposite direction.

It goes much deeper just the entertainment system.
This comes across as posturing around internet drama. The article's subject demolished a plagiarist for ripping off the community they're apart of; not bad at all! Then the subject gets an interview where they talk endlessly about their guilt and the good they've done; well, this part feels off.

"Virtue signaling" might be the lazy term to describe it. Or maybe it's how self-awareness mixed with self-marketing is too self-convincing. Particularly when one's audience is too eager to confirm that marketing as reality.
Easy compromise on the noncompete front:

* Have an income limit below which it doesn't apply

* Must be tied to some kind of IP or proprietary knowledge. The fact that an exemption on healthcare workers killed the compromise is nuts. Nurses don't have any proprietary information or knowledge that would harm their former employer

* Must be tied to an employment contract--IE no non-competes for at-will employment. Non-competes should be a two-way street, if the employer is going to get the protection of employee retention and IP privacy, the employee should have some protection against being summarily fired (and then unable to get another job)

No, it is a large zip file.
Yes but it is more likely to make you a terrible one without the right guidance by a real pilot. It teaches all kinds of bad habits. My instructor aldus told me off for chasing the instruments in VFR for example.

It can help, especially in VR but only as an addition to real flight training. That's my opinion anyway.

I am also an owner of an LLC, and think it should be a right.
Some anecdata here. I got to fly in a combat sim for few hours and the operators were surprised at some of the things I knew how to do just from playing videogames in the past. I do agree with the grandparent that it won't help with feel, but I also think that it will help build a knowledge base that can be a useful starting point.

I got my PPL. I didn't spend much time in MSFS, but I will say I had a much harder time practicing landing in the sim than in real life. Being able to look out the window, glance around, actually judge distance, etc. for staying in the pattern was much easier in a real plane.
Yes.

Wikipedia says "The earliest known publications of the words to The Twelve Days of Christmas were an illustrated children's book, Mirth Without Mischief, published in London in 1780" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twelve_Days_of_Christmas_(...

This site https://www.birdspot.co.uk/culture/the-birds-of-the-twelve-d... tries hard to link them all to birds but it's a far stretch, considering it falls apart at "Five Gold Rings". "However, Mirth and Mischief includes an illustration that clearly depicts the rings as jewelry." Archive.org even has a scan of the book: https://archive.org/details/mirth_without_mischief/page/n7/m...
I was going to say, I've heard that x-plane is supposed to be the better sim between the two. But I don't have the background to make a comparison.

Broad rent control protections were passed in San Francisco in 1979, and statewide in 2019, and has lead to more misery over housing by slumlords than if there was no rent control. Landlords have zero incentive to improve their properties, so the number of people I know that are living in cheap, but substandard apartments (eg heating is non-functional) is too many. And even if you get rent control so you can continue on affording rent, if the burrito place charges $8 which then increases to $12 with inflation, the budget you have that's counting on $4 burrito means you still have to move away.
It’s because you need to bubble state through to all components. Implement a spreadsheet to get a grasp of the initial problem. Then consider that you need to partially update for performance.

I live in the Mission district with young kids, and we walk / take transit all over the city. Smash and grabs of backpacks left in parked cars are annoying, as are bike thefts, and every once in a while a shouting homeless person is a little sketchy, but just like anywhere else in America automobiles are by far the most dangerous feature of daily life for small kids. We've never felt any serious personal safety concern from pedestrians or people hanging out outside.
The strangler fig would like a word (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strangler_fig)
I read it when I was 14 or so and thought of it as a very silly book.

Meanwhile, in the real world, I was surrounded by primary industry, mining, cattle stations, etc. and it was pretty clear what happened without some form of both regulation and proportionate repurcussions.

When I did arrive at high school economics it was a stain on my otherwise unblemished acedemic record as I stubbornly told an Econ. Honors graduate with a teaching degree that almost all the assumptions being taught in high school economics (perfect knowledge, rational actors, etc) had no place in real world models .. with the result that I got sent to the Principals office and was caned.

Still gives me a chuckle to this day, it didn't particularly hurt my undergrad | postgrad work in STEM as basic economic assumptions don't have many fans and it apparantly falls under acceptable rebel with a cause .. :)

I'm no fan of overly complex regulation that has strayed from some simply stated core raison d'être, but I hold that even Adam Smiths "Free Market" had rules and that stock exchanges must have transparent disclosure and penalties for false infomation, etc.

> If your hypothesis is that A is greater than B, then you're test boils down to "The probability that A is greater than B", which is arrived at through parameter estimation via Bayes' Theorem.

but even in this situation you would need a threshold for decision making, i.e. a p-value.
Yes. I passed my instrument rating earlier this year by using MSFS and X-plane integrated with PilotEdge and working my way through several I ratings on PE. Lots of additional studying by reading the entire Jepp IR book and using Sheppard for review before the written. Also a ton of flying under foggles practicing everything in the standards and making it second nature. Checkride was gnarly in Kansas noon convection turbulence but passed. Sims with PilotEdge help big time on learning to copy clearance, departure, en route and shooting the many approaches available. Also helps to stay current and to review a challenging approach before doing it for real. And it can somewhat help with G1000 avionics programming but it’s not exactly the same - more of a general guideline.

I’d avoid Vatsim. Sorry fans. I just don’t find it’s up to the same standard in realism and professionalism. Also lots of controllers who don’t know their stuff.

Also avoid getting sucked into the gamer aspect of flight sim. You have to actually be training in real aircraft and studying and supplement with sim.

Active pause is great for avionics programming, VOR nav and more.

You can do it all with a joystick. Pedals and yoke are pointless because sims can’t simulate things like turbulence or crosswind landings.

An RTX 3xxx GPU is plenty. I used a laptop RTX 4090 and desktop 3 series gpu.

Lastly if you actually do an instrument rating, learn how to calm yourself with a slow breath in and a slow breath out and never quit during the checkride, no matter how hard it seems. You are PIC and the DPE is pushing your limits, so assume you’re alone, breath deep and work the problem. Real life single pilot IMC is intense so this is the way.

What’s also fascinating is that a child’s brain has additional plasticity/aptitude for learning different things at a different age.

If he/she learns it too late, they’ll never master it. Perfect pitch is an example, ‘perfect’ motor skills for something another. Language another.

Factual inaccuracies within: Loopback can pass multi-channel audio and devices can be set as an input and output for applications, including with other audio processing between them, in an effects loop type configuration. Why spread misinformation like this?

Most likely they've been caught with memos saying to install a device that would trick past the test. It doesn't really matter what the devices did on an engineering level or even whether they worked at all, and the regulator may not even know or care; the hard part in a case like this tends to be showing criminal intent.
This is such a simple, and fantastically effective tool.

I use it often at work - either as in "let me repeat this back to you just to make sure I got it" or "please tell me what you just heard" when I'm explaining something and it seems the other person is just yessiring-verygoodsiring along.
> Yes. And so? Bayesians would argue (and I quote) that "the interesting limit in statistics is when the number of samples tends to one. The limit when the number of samples tends to infinity is completely useless."

The "and so?" is answered right after that. The prior dominates, which is a bad thing.

Yes, but normally the user is targeting military assets and trying to minimize collateral damage. I think it's clear that Hamas has the opposite goal, since they typically lob unguided rockets in the general direction of population centers.

There are two types of "bad" neighborhoods you don't want to live in: the ones where crime lives and the ones crime visits. Much of San Francisco falls victim to the latter which isn't always obvious on an Uber ride or casual walk.

I have about 2000 hours of flight simulator time starting from when it first came out. I really miss Meigs field.

I signed up for private pilot lessons.

The first day with the instructor I did a walk around inspection, started the plane, talked to the tower, did a taxi and takeoff.

The instructor let me fly for a while then put me "under the hood" so I couldn't see, said "It's my airplane", took control and flipped it all around, and then said "Your plane". The flight controls were all I could see. I could see that I was in a dive with rotation so I cut the throttle, centered the stick and kicked opposite rudder until the rotation stopped then regained level flight.

The flight instructor said that was "pretty good but could be better". I asked him if this was a first-day test for a private pilot's license. He was shocked. He thought I was going for an instrument rating. I pointed out that this was my first time ever in a small plane and first time ever as an actual pilot.

The lessons got easier after that :-)

So, yeah, if you spend a year's worth of time in the sim it will help a lot.

It would be nice if someone could convince Pataki to run again. He had enough desire for a presidential campaign that would never have worked when the national base wants a demagogue. With the younger members of his party modeling themselves after the wrong person, there's an opening for an old guard with experience to have one last go at it.
I use css and I think it’s pretty amazing. It requires understanding and thinking that goes along, not against the technology.

It is hard to abstract and tailwindcss for example is an abstraction which goes against it for the sake of bypassing the deeper understanding. But css is powerful, elegant, and keeps moving in the right direction.
You would rather raise a child in a state like Florida where the government has made it illegal not to glorify the confederacy and chattel slavery?

That is a very odd choice. I get that the bay has a crime/homeless/CoL problem but fleeing to a place with much of the same issues in its own cities while also being one of the worst parts of the country culturally outside of then isn’t any better, IMO.

JACK is capitalised. I use the PipeWire implementation of the JACK API; it still has advantages over using PipeWire directly, like easier metadata and CV connections.

The NSM (Non/New Season Manager) system is best for saving and recalling the state of the graph. RaySession is a modern NSM front-end+backend.

There's also LV2; it uses RDF to define both the audio unit properties and the relations between them. If only Ingen and mod-host and Carla, with their LV2 plugin graphs, went the full hog and could be used in their (Ingen and Carla anyway) LV2 plugin forms to work as easy-to-make semi-modular software synths, that would be cool. (Part of the thought behind LV2 was to provide a session/graph saving format)

The two projects are not even remotely comparable. DivestOS can’t ensure security features like memory-isolating the modem, because the range of hardware that it supports doesn't have that functionality.

I found X-Plane VR useful for practicing basic traffic pattern work.

But it definitely needed to be VR to be helpful, to see your relative position vs the airport and runway, pattern altitude, etc.

Did not help with stalls or landings, which are more based on the feel of the aircraft.
The modeling in X-Plane works great on fake experimental aircraft but lookup tables have their place too, especially for real aircraft where every single small performance characteristic is known to several decimal places.

I feel the same, when I travel to other larger cities (Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago, LA, Atlanta, etc) there are similar problems. It’s not an SF problem it’s a city problem, especially the more “downtown’s” it gets as opposed to more “neighborhood’y”.

I think the city is an outlier (as noted) due to rent control. Rent from the north bay to monterey county has NOT gone down. Rents keeps increasing ... this is talking to people renting not the sites that will post a price and demand something else.
The only reason that strategy is viable is because the Strip exists. Cram 2 million people in 140 square miles, and heavily restrict border traffic, then claim killing children was inevitable when you bomb the place.
I haven’t heard a single person who left SF that said they would go back. Every documentary I watch about it makes it look like a lawless hellhole. And that government… just an overall disaster of a city.
