The purpose of initial training is to teach the pilot how to fly a plane “by feel”. The best PC simulators still lack the details: How does wind sound change with airspeed and AOA? How does wing tell you it’s about to stall? How does the engine sound when you lean it? Etc. I learned to fly in a Citabria with basic VFR instruments (not even a six pack!), and my instructor closed instruments all the time teaching me not to rely on instruments while flying VFR. These lessons helped me a lot over years. I fly seaplanes in the summers that usually have basic vfr instruments only and it is a lot of fun.

Simulators are fantastic for learning instrument flying. I try to practice on a simulator at least once or twice a week - just a quick flight with 2-3 approaches to minimums. But it helps to keeps the scan going and also practice various failures in a safe environment.
The "from the river to the sea" is a call for genocide of Israelis.

No it isn't. Expressing a desire for freedom and regaining ownership of land may make occupiers uncomfortable, but that doesn't constitute genocide.
I have a Silverado and the software is absolute shit. It’s like it has a virus. The media stuff is so wonky. It randomly plays Bluetooth stuff on my phone. It doesn’t even reliably play what I was actually listening to. Just random crap from my library or stuff from YouTube if I was using the app a week ago. I stop it and it keeps starting it again. I turn the system completely off. Later, I get a phone call and after I hang up it starts playing random Bluetooth stuff again. When it’s not doing that, it will insist on playing FM radio. You can’t turn it off. The best you can do is turn down the volume because it will keep turning the radio back on. It does this with multiple phones.

GM has literally a worse infotainment system than the worst I could imagine. It’s not like I expect much. The usual boring, featureless, laggy, permanent XM radio and Pandora icons, 6 year old nav maps infotainment system would suit me just fine as long as Bluetooth works. GM can’t even deliver that.

Meanwhile, the motor is great - V8, loads of torque - and this thing feels like it will run forever. It even gets good mileage - I can get 20-25 on the highway. They make solid trucks. But it’s like they used GitHub Copilot in a machine with bad RAM to make the infotainment.

There is often also option 3, put ssh on port 80 and/or 443 on a different host and ProxyJump to the intended destination (and/or use SOCKS to that host to generally get a less filtered internet connection). I use SOCKS and also forward DNS over TLS over the ssh connection via port forwarding.

At least several years ago when I first set up my SOCKS proxy and was using wifi quite a bit I never found one that did anything more than check the port, although I have heard they exist and could be more common now (and of course it doesn't matter how common they are if one is in your way).

Almost as unbelievable as a CFII confusing someone who had never stepped foot in a small plane before with someone going for an instrument rating?
They are blowing up courts with no fighters in them, talk on TV about making Gaza unlivable. Netanyahu even invoked Amalek! That's barefaced genocide, against a population half of which are under the age of 15. With extreme military firepower. Soldiers making videos about what they find in private residences, mocking "Arab sluts". Minimum sentence for throwing a rock against a tank is like what, 20 years? They are occupying, annexing, ethnically cleansing guys. But they're "not bad guys" because others are supposedly worse. Right.

Given that, I don't care who you have sympathy for. You excuse bombing a population of mostly children by talking about people who "repeatedly started war after war" (why be content with "repeatedly" or "war after war" when you can just double and triple it and lather it on endlessly).

You will not drag the rest of us along into that monstrous guilt.

And Hamas is not your concern, what the companies and governments you do support and/or are affiliated with are supporting is. Which is genocide.
If you want nuclear weapons it's a good idea to have a nuclear industry so that you have engineers familiar with the relevant technology. I'm not implying that (all) nuclear power plants are weapons factories.

The idea that this is competitive information that would harm the former employer if it walked out the door is absolutely insane. it's more likely than not that any two hospitals will be using the same one of the two or three major EHC systems in the market. At any rate, what system they use, and how it's configured is not something that would or could be used against them in the marketplace

It's surprisingly difficult to write something where the compiler doesn't detect that it's working on a constant. I had to code up a loop that pushed values onto the vector before the compiler generated the general case. "black_box" is not, apparently, opaque to the optimizer.

Ideomatic form, inner loop: [1]

LBB4_3:
cmp byte ptr [rax + rcx], 0
jne .LBB4_4
inc rcx
cmp rdx, rcx
jne .LBB4_3

C-like form, inner loop: [2]

.LBB4_3:
cmp byte ptr [rax + rcx], 0
jne .LBB4_4
inc rcx
cmp rdx, rcx
jne .LBB4_3

Both ways, the compiler found the optimal solution.
In the C-like loop, it was able to hoist and then elide the subscript check.
In the ideomatic form, it's implicit in the iterator that you won't go off the end of the array.
The lambda function was expanded inline and optimized.
There's zero call overhead from using a lambda function there.

Very nice work by the Rust compiler people and LLVM.

Ford just cut Lightning production (in half? A third? Something like that). Nissan stopped making the Leaf. Tesla is still increasing. You can't get ahead by decreasing production.
I've never lived there, but I visit often for work. Primarily two reasons - the first is that I'm starting a family and neither I nor my wife have any family there. The second is, as you guessed, the home prices. If I wanted something even remotely affordable, I'd have to live far away and have an insane commute. We've already lived that lifestyle in NYC, and we're not eager to return to it.

To be fair, I don't know how much of that huge input is stored for very long. Human brains are incredible at discarding unimportant information by generalizing information into broad ideas and emotions. Just think back to something that happened a few years ago and try to recall specific details.

Being able to identify and discard unneeded data in realtime seems like a huge step for AI that hasn't been really implemented yet.

What people care about is doing these things over something that is universal enough. In some places WhatsApp is so pervasive that it's that; in others, a mandated standard like SMS or RCS is the best you can hope for.
Tesla is the only one I’ve ever had that occasionally crashes, but it’s still so much better than the other stuff out there. I have had decent experiences with Toyota and Ford. Although their systems are boring and old, they work reliably and consistently.
I fly ifr nearly all the time with exception of local flights like a test flight after picking up the plane from annual (even then I am talking to tower or approach just in case). The main reason for me is that I like having someone (atc) watching over me, and that I don’t need to think much about airspace’s, tfrs, etc - I just do what atc tells me to do (within reasons ;) ).

If speed test result is much faster, the bottleneck could be the CPU incapable of encrypting/decrypting data fast enough using the default encryption method used by SCP/rsync. In that case, try unencrypted file transfer instead. Maybe just serve the file temporarily with `python -m http.server`
The first two had a bit of action. I was intrigued to realize that every book in the Wayfarers series had smaller scales and lower stakes than the one before. They're all excellent.

> That isn’t really a third party though that most people would think of; when people are saying this in the context of US elections they usually mean they want a third actual person on the general ballot.

There are usually significantly more than three names on a Presidential general election ballot. The US has a two-party system because it has an electoral system in which voting for any but the least offensive of the two major parties structurually is subiptimal in achieving ones preferences, not because there are only two options on the ballot.
There's a reason every single company wants to just build web apps and electron apps, because it's actually the best and simplest platform for delivering a cross platform UI experience that exists and it's not really that complicated at all and frankly it's unequivocally untrue that if we sampled all of the GUI software built on Visual Basic and Qt in the 90s and 2000s vs the software today that we would find it better.
If all you have are unguided rockets, you're going to point them wherever they're most likely to hit something. If/when you have guidance systems, you can afford to be selective and concentrate on high value targets. That's how it goes in asymmetric warfare.
I can't wait until it can do my job and then I will just run it on my PC and connect it to slack so my employeer will receive similar results of when I did it manually and I will be payed without spending any time actually working, I will be able to focus on my hobbies for once.

As a sibling noted, I think the takeaway from oxy is a lot more complex. I don’t think many people are dying from prescription meds, I think most are dying when they go to the black market to service their addiction when they cannot get prescriptions, or cannot afford them.

For example if you want oxy, it’s very expensive on the black market, and so many end up taking fentanyl instead, which is more dangerous even if you have known purity medical grade, and is extremely dangerous when purchased on the black market with variable and unknown purity.

So in summary, I really strongly disagree that “we effectively did this”. The decriminalization program has not been seriously tried for opiates anywhere outside Portugal (where it didn’t cause an increase in usage, and did result in decreased harm).
> Ranked Choice and all the other alternatives often floated run afoul of the most basic criteria: They are complicated. The people either will not or cannot understand and consequently will not tolerate complicated voting schemes.

Australia has had "ranked choice voting" ("preferential" is what we call it here) for over a century now - starting with the 1919 Australian federal election. If Australians can "understand" and "tolerate" it, why not Americans too?

> Anything more complicated than "<XYZ> gets my vote." is impractically useless.

In America, campaign signs say "Vote For Whoever". In Australia, they say "Vote 1 For Whoever" instead. No real difference. Some people just fill out the rest of the boxes randomly, some people follow a "how to vote" card issued by their preferred candidate, some people think hard about who gets their 2nd/3rd/4th etc. Some Australian states now have "optional preferential", where your vote is still valid even if you don't make a 2nd/3rd/etc choice.
I realised about five minutes after posting! A bit of a shame, but it might be worth it for some.
Only if you have the planning capabilities of a 5-year old.

A house doesn't have that many things that can go wrong with it that would be unforseen expenses.

AC, water pipe leak, appliance breakdown, roof replacement. None of these cost above $8k, and for bigger things there is home insurance (e.g. tree fell on a house). Many of these things can be mitigated with a cheap fix that will last you those 12 months until you have the funds to do it properly.

Also, I see this sentiment a lot from people who have no problem dropping a $15-20k down payment on an car, but somehow spending that money for home maintenance is "scary" and "unpredictable".
The main problem is getting it right for different screen sizes.

Yeah, it’s a cool story but not really believable.

* A student in an instrument flight is doing 99.9% of the work. The instructor is really there as a guide. The instructor will expect a student to do almost everything, from taxiing the plane, to taking off, to the radios. There’s no way that the instructor will pilot the plane into the air for the student.

Even PPL students on their very first lesson can taxi the airplane and be guided through takeoff. Why would an instrument student sit passively by?

* Any instructor worth their salt would review the student’s logbook, and his would’ve been empty or he wouldn’t even have one. I can’t see this happening even as the result of some kind of massive mixup.

* An instructor meeting a new student for the first time, for instrument flight, and instructor doesn’t even ask how many flight hours the student has? What training or experience they have? I’ve trained with a number of instructors, and none has taken me in an airplane without asking these kind of basic questions.

Flying in a simulator also doesn’t generally prepare you for the preflight (walk-around). Anyone going for their instrument rating would know how to do this solo — and the instructor would expect the student to do it most likely (maybe not for instrument lessons?) — whereas someone who hasn’t stepped foot in a plane wouldn’t know how to do it at all. Are you really going to know how to check fuel levels and oil levels from the simulator? I doubt it.

(There are some highly realistic simulator mods that get close though, and can simulate the preflight too.)

* The original story does not use accurate terminology. (A CFII that I asked about this story wrote: “When you give the controls to a student you don’t let them aimlessly wonder under the hood you give a radial to follow or some nav aid - no one aimlessly wanders for instrument training. Dude doesn’t know basic terminology either: Anyone worth two cents would say pull the throttle, rolled out of the bank stepped on the rudder to remove the yaw.”)

I’ve taken flight lessons but don’t have a PPL. I also have a lot of simulator time in DCS/MSX/XPlane.

If your language is well served by LLMs. Which, generously, is true for maybe 20-50 of the world's 7000 or so languages. For all the rest, "classical" NLP is still how things get done at least at present.

I used to think that Python was a modern BASIC-type language because you can learn the basics (so to speak) in an afternoon.

Now I consider JavaScript as more of a modern BASIC because of its ubiquity - it is included in basically anything that has a web browser

(Like BASIC, JavaScript also has its own set of idiosyncracies, many of which derive from its environment.)

There aren't that many Californians moving to NC. There are probably more than from other states, but that's just because CA is the most populous state. Inter-state migration has not budged much from the long term average. Californians are just east targets to blame cuz there's always a few around (most populous state) and the ones who do move out tend to have more money, but not enough to actually affect NC rents

This is dangerously close to the octopi/octopodes/octopuses debate.
Restaurants typically have fairly low profit margins, so there generally isn't a strong desire to spend limited free cash flow to upgrade/replace a point-of-sale system that's functioning satisfactorily.

Especially since it's not something capable of a significant ROI since the PoS system usually has little-to-no impact on either revenue or profit. A slow one could impact productivity - but this is rarely a bottleneck so in most cases there would be little gained by spending money to upgrade to a newer system.
Very poorly is my understanding. There's various sequential UUID-like schemes that are more sortable by prefixing with bits of physical time. Off the top of my head, ULIDs and also UUID v7.
Oh no, uneducated people might express unapproved opinions! How improper, I think I might faint /s
Except Physics might be a branch of CS.
I’m skeptical. To the point where I’ll happily call BS. Taxiing and flying a real plane is substantially different from flying MS flight sim. The physical responses of the plane to control inputs, thrust, and external forces can only be approximated by an actual physical simulator, not a desktop video game.

There are other problems with the narrative, too. Instructors will generally get a much better idea of where the student is in their training and brief them pre-flight on the maneuvers to be practiced during the training flight. The instructor would have reviewed the trainee’s logbook, which should contain notes from prior training flights as well. Unless this instructor was exceptionally careless, he’d have discovered the commenter’s inexperience pre-flight. Also, the abnormal attitude/configuration the instructor put the plane in and the recovery described sounds dangerously close to a spin. It’s unlikely an instructor would choose this as the first hooded maneuver for a new instrument rating trainee.
I've lived in Palo Alto, and there are nicer bits and others less so, but overall it's just the suburbs. All suburbs feel the same to me: empty and lifeless.

Pointing out yet again that Community Notes long precedes Musk's purchase of Twitter. It got going in early 2021; I was one of the first batch to sign up for it, although I think it had been in developments for a year or so before that. January 6 rattled a lot of people at Twitter so I suspect that influenced the timing of the rollout.

Perhaps the confusion is that CN was originally called 'Birdwatch' and people don't realize they're the same thing.
