Nit: There were no ancient "scientists". People who studied what we now call scientific fields of inquiry were called natural philosophers until the late 1800s.

As for the solar year, none of the other planets (which the sun and moon were considered, along with Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) have an obvious correlation with our orbit, so I'd imagine they just considered this the dance of the heavens.
My hat is off to OpenAI’s marketing department here, because that is what this is. Great work
Yeah there is no steer by wire on tm3 or the plaids, as far as I can see.

The review I looked at when considering the new plaid X (before Musk went completely batshit crazy) specifically said that blinking out of roundabouts was almost impossible to do without giving it waaay (as in traffic dangerous) too much attention.

The steer by wire thing fo sho makes it better, but I still want stalks for this stuff.

> they can actually 'borrow' that money for literally a few seconds, and return it right after the checkup

This makes it sound like there's some way here for banks to circumvent reserve requirements by timing overnight loans correctly, but that's not really the case. Reserves are accounted for in the same instant for all banks, so you wouldn't be able to do more than the obvious and, as you say, quite expected activity of banks lending excess reserves to other banks that are short. In other words, the "money multiplier" model no longer describes what's really happening.

But in fact, reserves play a diminishing role in bank regulation as a whole: Many central banks have stopped enforcing them, not least because central banks themselves will usually lend reserves against commercial loans or equities if banks require it.

What matters just as much, and arguably more, are capital adequacy requirements, i.e. a limit on how leveraged banks can be with regards to their equity (i.e. the difference between assets and liabilities): Equity capital serves as a buffer in case of unexpected loan defaults and other losses.

This also puts a cap on a bank's maximum leverage, and unlike reserve requirements, there's no way around them by lending or borrowing reserves.
You are right, but I believe gkedzierski is right too. It is indeed common for trainers to start telling these things to student pilots early on during their training. I think the reasoning behind that is to instil the right instrument scan practices while people are fresh in the cockpit before they even consider IFR training.

> You can't get the leans or somatogravic illusion flying in daytime VMC.

You are 100% correct on that. Just to explain to others reading us: VMC means visual meteorogical conditions. Roughly and informally that is when you can see. While IMC would be instrument meteorological conditions, that is roughly and informally when you can't.

Just to illustrate how dangerous these "leans" can be there is this NTSB report about such a case: https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Reports/...

People might also know this one as the tragic helicopter accident which killed Kobe Bryant.

The pilot had 8,577 hours of total flight time, and he was the chief pilot of the company. So you would count him as an experienced pilot. Yet as he flew into thick fog, according to the NTSB report, he got the "leans". That is he had the illusion that he was ascending while in reality his airplane was banked and turning. Sadly they flow into a hillside and all 9 people aboard died. A tragic case.

It is hard to know exactly when the pilot lost all visual cues but according to the report there was about a minute between the pilot reporting to ATC that they are climbing to get over the clouds and them impacting the terrain. Things unfortunately can go sideways very fast in IMC.

Having social media companies attempting to guess at the intention behind ambiguous phrases seems like a bad idea.

Some people are certainly implying support for genocide when they say "from the river to the sea", while others are not. Same for "Greater Israel".

The only sane place to draw the line imo is at explicit support for hatred or violence. Even that standard can be fuzzy, but if there's a reasonable doubt about intent, I don't think we want corporations or governments making those judgments.

> And if you ever need to read anything even once database without indexes is slow

This may be true in most cases, but not all. It just depends on your access pattern. If all you do are full table scans (possibly feeding to hash-joins), you won't benefit from indexes at all!

The whole point is that indexes do not auto-magically improve performance with no downsides. If they did, we could just index all columns and call it a day!

> What if you train with instruments obscured?

No can do.

Because whilst during training you should be spending 95% of your time looking out the window, the remaining 5% are spent bashing it into your head how to do an effective instrument scan and also there are parts of training where instruments get combined with the outside environment (such as learning to get a radio fix if you're lost and correlating that with what you see out the window).

Obscuring instruments is sometimes done, but that's much, much, later down the training line.

In fact, to say that sieve is better is fundamentally wrong.

1. You only test the hit ratio on a synthetic zipf distribution and claim an advantage without saying a word about the problems (which there are).

2. Checking implementation speed looks very questionable on such benchmarks, because you spend a huge amount of CPU time on synchronization and item generation.

3. Your implementation has at least three problems that otter doesn't: worst case O(n) time complexity of the eviction policy, disgusting scalability, also golang-fifo simply doesn't have as many features as otter, and adding each of them will only slow golang-fifo down even more.

4. Yes, when increasing contention otter sacrifices 1-2 percent (I'll have to see if I can reduce this loss) hit ratio to maintain response speed, but that's what caffeine, ristretto and other famous cache libraries do, because in this case it's more important to maintain scalability than to keep hundreds of goroutines waiting for a mutex to unlock.

5- This structure looks highly questionable to support ghost queue: https://github.com/scalalang2/golang-fifo/blob/main/s3fifo/b.... You are wasting a very large number of bytes just to maintain an item footprint.
Meanwhile NYC alone has more Asians than LA/SF combined in a much smaller area and even you admit on the flanks of NYC, e.g., Fort Lee has its own contribution here (of course, it's no 40 minute bart train ride -- maybe a 30 minute car trip though)

The article mentions two separate “fun coaches” (one whose course is $555) and interviews several graduates of their classes.

It uses those vignettes to make claims about the state of fun for all Americans.

At best, this seems like an article on how fun is for a certain niche subset of wealthy Americans. I’m not sure they’re justified in broadening their conclusions here.

Depends on the data, and the index. A covering index would almost certainly be faster. But you said analytics, which implies large results from huge datasets, so it’s unlikely to fit into memory in the first place.

You still need critical instruments such as airspeed, RPM, manifold pressure, etc. Especially on crystal clear VFR days, it's possible-bordering-on-easy to fly the plane with your head stuck in the instrument panel and being mostly aware of the horizon in your peripheral if, for example, the instructor obscures the attitude indicator.

You can't even "feel" the plane in FAA-certified simulators, so I'm not sure how you'd feel it on a laptop with a joystick and plastic rudders. And of course the big issue - if you're VFR you need to be looking for traffic because nobody is handling separation for you except you.
I thought Bach was relatively obscure till Mendelssohn promoted his music to a new generation?

Anyhow, there are many many great composers from different genres, and if you consider the aim to be communication (rather than the quality of the music itself) who would argue against the Beatles, or Taylor Swift as the greatest achievers of all time in music?
I suspect that the real danger will "sneak up" on us. As the software, hardware, and model stacks (both open source and proprietary) become more capable and efficient, they will gradually be deployed more and more.

As the AI systems become faster and more capable there will be greater pressure to remove or minimize humans from the loop in order to prevent bottlenecks. Overall, the beneficial effects of autonomous AI will be magical.

But eventually, you get to a point where there is so much reliance on powerful AI that humanity's position becomes somewhat precarious.

I still think that it will probably be manageable, for the most part. But the need to increase autonomy and the desire to make the AIs more lifelike will probably catch up with us eventually. People are especially under-estimating the speed ramp up.

Hyperspeed agent swarms will soon be extremely effective at problem solving. Potentially 100 or more times than any system with human in the loop.

And they will be given more and more autonomy and (unwisely) life-like characteristics. A simulated or real self-interest and self-preservation instinct is the most dangerous thing. But it will be preceded by seemingly harmless other enhancements to make them more lifelike, such as simulation of emotions. Nothing bad will happen until you put everything together, essentially removing guardrails and deploying extensively. But it happens bit by bit.
In a very broad sense, you can also "create new money": If you are widely known for never letting any of your checks bounce, these checks might become regarded as a kind of money, and people might defer cashing them out of convenience or due to other factors, in a similar way that e.g. Amazon or Starbucks gift cards seem a bit like money as well.

But in the more narrow sense, banks indeed have something quite useful that you, as a non-bank, don't: They have access to the Fed's deposit window, where they can borrow reserves by posting discounted securities as collateral. Often, that's treasuries, but it can also be commercial or even home loans.

Borrowing from the Fed in that way is in fact one of the mechanisms that create new reserves.
They will provide “clearances” which avoid terrain - if they ask you (for example) to fly direct to LAX, they need to ensure you are told an altitude to fly which keeps you at or above the minimum for whatever is between you and that waypoint.

As the pilot you are required to follow the instruction but ATC aren’t responsible for you not doing so.

There are situations where you may inadvertently lose communications, so ATC can’t tell you to climb for some future higher altitude requirement. In this case the pilot needs to climb and fly the minimum for the area they are in or airway they are following.
This really isn’t so different from work in other places. That said, I think one reason why this person keeps at it is the profound inner sense of accomplishment of being able to thrive in a totally different culture, country, and language. He sounds very different from the few Dutch ppl I’ve come across in my career; they wouldn’t hesitate to tell you point-blank honest statements or preferences. This guy… for him to make it 5 years, and particularly 14 months in China… yeah, it’s downright impressive. The thing is, if he continues to work at the level he’s at, I’m certain he will eventually tire of it and move on too. At any rate, when life Berends on a visa, it’s tenuous. It’s super tough to stay in China beyond 25 years as a foreigner.

I'm all for LGBTQ rights but to deny physiological differences because of gender identity does not make any logical sense.

In a way, it's a very reactionary view, to say that a man identifying as a a woman should be physically more comparable to women than to men. It would be ridiculous to make such a claim.

People who have had their physical gender changed, that's another thing, and probably an unsolvable problem if you want to be sorted into either male or female competition...
This feeling may have more to do with the nature of biographies than anything.
I see this idea sometimes in the context of climate change. It's fundamentally flawed. Collapse is not binary, it's not collapse or no collapse. If we miss one climate goal, then the next goal comes up. If we cannot limit warming to 2°C (and it doesn't look like we will)... Well, 2.5°C is more than a magnitude worse than that. Those who survive 2°C warming would be glad that it's not 2.5°C. It's not like a test where you can say "screw this, I'm gonna fail anyways."

Scala's squants library is a nice implementation of units-of-measure/dimensional-analysis http://www.squants.com

In particular it uses types for dimensions; whilst units are just constructors. Hence `Meters(2)` and `Microns(7)` have the same type (`Length`).
No idea, that’s just something I’ve heard repeated lots of times. I’d always assumed he coined them.
Note that this is heavily dependent on C++20. I'm not even caught up on C++17, so I was thrown off by statements like this:

quantity q1 = 42 * J;

where quantity is a class template:

template<Reference auto R,
RepresentationOf<get_quantity_spec(R).character> Rep = double>
class quantity;

I didn't know you could use auto in a template parameter. I gather that Reference is a concept, something else I've yet to explore. Just when I thought I'd gotten the hang of "modern" C++.

Heat is low-density and it's difficult to work with. And fossil fuels are extremely high-density and easy to work with. So when heat is needed, the general approach has been to burn fossil fuels locally and just dump the waste heat. This has not properly accounted for the cost of fossil fuels.

Low-intensity waste heat is valuable. And it is something that can be captured and used. But that is a different kind of mentality, and a different kind of engineering, one that hasn't been much-developed. For example, here in Canada, like in many countries, we like to take hot showers. We take hot showers even in winter, and there can be an 80 °C difference between the water flowing down the drain and the air outside. Is there no further useful work that heat could do?

I just got my PPL a year ago. My instructor did a survey among all students who got the license and among other things asked 1) how many flight hours did it take you to get the license 2) did you play with a simulator in your spare time. There was a clear inverse correlation between the two, meaning that those who did play with the simulator had to use less hours to get the license.

It's not only stateful, its asynchronous.

You have to be idle, to wait for user action, which can come at any time. You're also possibly waiting for other computing processes to finish, then you have to deal with the consequences of whatever state you're in based on what the user has done.
> but their physics model is dog shit. Totally unrealistic behaviour in any non-standard situation.

That has and always will be the problem with flight sims.

You have always been able to get away with shit in a flight sim that you would never be able to do in real life because you can't defy the laws of physics in real life.

Ultimatley you would need far more than a home computer with a decent graphics card if you wanted to get anywhere near real physics in a sim.
A very weird piece of writing that's trying to rehabilitate 'climate doomers' a bit, which ignores a bit of a key fact that a lot of climate doomers actually tend to be the rich and wealthy individuals that are causing the problems in the first place. Because they can afford to deal with the consequences of their actions, so they go full speed on doing whatever they can. Both doomers and denialists tend to run the show, so to speak.

I don't personally buy it because there's always going to be someone claiming the collapse of civilization is nigh. During the shortages of food during COVID I saw channels I normally respected swerve a bit into prepperism or attempts to grow natural food in case of food chain collapse.

I do believe our climate situation is incredibly dire and we will need to use increasingly extreme measures to stop it. Executives need to start being punished properly for their extreme maleficence and disregard of public health, companies will need to face reckonings for hiding their crimes and everyone involved at the time charged. And we will also need to accept that infinite growth and the way we're growing isn't sustainable. But I think it's a problem that can be solved.
