Good eye. Missed that. I immediately want to question why it mentions the first year only when, I believe, that it's been running for at least over six years.

Even if all the statistics are put in front of us, interpreting them might require understanding the distribution of the types of crime they were imprisoned for or other factors local to that city, county, or state.

Perhaps after the first year there are other factors that the graduates struggle with that push them towards prison again? Could be as simple as losing hope. I'd expect it to be bad influences in their daily lives or becoming homeless after failing without a safety net.

It was only a matter of time. If credible plagiarism evidence or other serious ethical lapses come to light, it is really hard for high-level administrators to keep their jobs. We saw that at Stanford (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34847734) and with Joi Ito at the MIT Media Lab. The ridiculous contortions the universities will go through to avoid the inevitable (“a few instances of inadequate citation” in Gay's case) won't stop the train once it's started.

Although Harvard's board said it learned about Gay's plagiarism in October, there had been online accusations that predated her appointment, when she was still the dean of faculty. It amazes me the selection committee either A) failed to do due diligence or B) knew about it and went ahead anyway.

With PPK, I find it's better than RTK simply because I don't have to worry about the real-time correction connection. As long as your base station is capturing data continuously over your point capture period you'll be able to apply PPK later. And you can even do things like use OPUS to get even more accurate data.

FWIW, We use a LIDAR with co-aligned 20MP camera to get RGB point clouds and they are great for large space explorations.

I am a senior software engineer, ex CTO, ex start up, etc. I do contract work full time and am looking for _one_ additional client.

I can help you with:

1. Building an MVP.

2. DevOps.

3. Scaling / creating a team / building out your team.

4. Solving hard technical problems.

If that sounds interesting, lets chat.

Alternatively if you run a small business or a non-profit, and just need some technical help, drop me a line, I'm interested.
> it gets easier to sight-read a jazz piece from a fake book

There's a reason they call these "fake books". The purpose is to get close enough that you've effectively re-created the music without hitting all the exact notes. If that's your goal, then you're totally correct: familiarity with the genre will be enough to make it so that you probably played something that basically sounds roughly kinda mostly like basically what the author kinda roughly wanted it to sound like. That's real music! But it is not sight-reading. If you tried this in an Orchestra they'd tell you to GTFO.

If you actually care about playing the music exactly (and many don't, and that's fine!) then you can't be guessing at what note comes next. You have to actually read the music. Conventions have nothing to do with that. If you find it easy to sight-read a complex piece of piano music, you either:

- Are an absolute phenom wunderkind professional piano player, one of the top in the world

- Have actually heard the song played before and are using your ears as much as your eyes (nothing wrong with this!)

- Are guessing and getting it wrong sometimes (not necessarily anything wrong with this either, but you'll learn it wrong and then never master it exactly if that's your goal)
Would depend on the following factors: respiratory rate, perfusion to skin, mental status.

Typically, an amputation with significant bleed would hit the respiratory rate (>=30/min) and perfusion (cap refill >=2 secs) thresholds for 'Red'.

That said, I've been present at a plane crash with four patients where one had a clean amputation that had had a tourniquet applied immediately following the crash. He was speaking clearly, had adequate perfusion, and was breathing appropriately. Technically, this patient could be categorized as a 'Yellow' and was, in this case, considered a lower priority than the head injured patient trapped within the aircraft.

I like to think that in a real emergency (crash landing, fire visible outside, smoke entering the cabin) survival instinct will kick in and people will just GTFO without worrying about luggage. The videos I've seen of people evacuating with luggage seem a little less serious. That said, an evacuation is always serious. People often do get hurt coming down those slides so the crew only order an evacuation if they think it outweighs the risk of staying put and waiting for help.
That's not "a bit obscure". That's almost completely hidden.
YT is a great resource for fixing things like appliances, but the devices themselves have gotten (1) shittier, (2) harder to repair and (3) more expensive custom parts - that are themselves less durable. Example: the slide-out for the top rack of my dishwasher exploded, sending ball-bearings everywhere. The replacement part (mostly plastic) cost > $50 and to replace required I disconnect the water & power, uninstall the unit and access the 2 screws on the outside. Great for speeding up assembly in a factory, but ridiculous for any other purpose.
Thank you very much for valuable information.

Graphistry | Viz engineer | Security engineer | Contract | REMOTE - GLOBAL | https://www.graphistry.com + https://www.louie.ai

Graphistry is a Gartner-awarded startup used by fraud/cyber/BI/supplychain/misinfo/... analysts to see and correlate using our visual graph AI platform. With louie.ai (generative AI), they can now talk with their many databases in natural language while having L.O.U.I.E. generate the queries, GPU visualizations, & analyses for them.

We partner with companies like Nvidia & AWS to enable end-to-end GPU compute so operational teams can do all this at previously impossible scales and interactivity. Some projects folks may know us for include having donated the web tier of Apache Arrow used by performance-oriented data visualization frameworks, incubating what became Nvidia RAPIDS.AI, and our own server<>client GPU accelerated data visualization engine.

We are looking for multiple candidates:

- Visualization engineer - Scaling server/client GPU infoviz

We are looking for a visualization engineer excited about enabling analysts to dig into bigger and trickier data. The near-term projects are around initiatives like increasing our visual scale another 100X (client GLSL <> server RAPIDS.ai GPU) and improving how analysts understand and collaborate (React, node, RAPIDS GPU). You’ll be working with our full-stack team, partners like Nvidia, and as we are a user-focused team, you’ll also have the chance to chat directly with analysts in our community channels and engage with their data teams. Over time, you’ll take ownership of increasing parts of the full stack GPU visualization pipeline and its direction. Global remote friendly, long-term (1yr+), and option of contract vs full-time (equity etc).

- Security engineer - AI code sandbox hardening

We’re looking for a security engineer (any time zone) to design, implement, test, and harden the AI code sandbox louie.ai uses to secure untrusted code execution . You will collaborate with our architects and developers as we prepare the surrounding application for third-party security auditing and pen testing. You should have some familiarity with Linux and container security practices and tools such as libseccomp policies, strace, iptables, and container networking. Ideally you have worked on sandbox and jail breaking technology before from a attacker/defender side, and OS/network/container/VM isolation mechanisms in general. You must be _very_ comfortable with Python + Docker. This is a 2-4w initial project. Global/remote fine, with key meetings on PDT (US) time zones.

The issue is too pervasive, having a formula published won't solve it.

You will need the historical formulas, as well as all the underlying data, not even accounting for the publication delays and errors, missing informations, discretionary classifications, etc.

What we need is all that data and code in an introspectable flow of code and data:

If the issue is figuring out payroll (rather than accounting complexities that arise from having additional expenses), you can also hire via remote.com or deel.com, even if hiring domestically, as long as your employee is either salaried or operating as an independent contractor (not actually an employee in that situation though)

Not really. If an instruction is unclear the pilot will ask again for a repeat. Or if the instruments show everything to look normal but the plane doesn’t feel right, the pilot will correct it, a computer will not.

Think of the 737 Max whose computers crashed two planes because of incorrect sensor data being fed to them. The pilots there tried to rescue the planes while the planes were following their logic, which was flawed.
Same here! That was one of my first shareware purchases and, honestly, the only one I can remember.

There were plenty of other apps I used that had shareware versions (including Doom), but my path into the software rarely started with the shareware. I usually just bought the full package at a store back then.
Consulted in the space about 3 years ago. Regulatory powers lack tooth. Most large banks are not ready (i.e. poor security, complex backend, no scalability, etc.) and are scrambling to find solutions while begging for my time. Also, lots of discussion and jostling and fear of what might happen when it goes live. No one can truly agree on the legal framework as well so feels like much work to be done.

Was also part of the implementation phase in the UK and the regulatory powers there definitely sped things up.

I've never been a fan of deploying DBs, either traditional RDBMS or distributed, under containerization/orchestration other than quickly spinning up dev and test environments. Certainly not for production. Databases have been built for high availability for many decades. Sure, maybe RDBMS doesn't scale quite as easily as a node API application, but it's still not really rocket science and you usually have some leeway if you get a spike.

Adding Swarm or K8 just seems like redundant and unnecessary complexity.

A better solution would be that the OS forces app developers to separate in categories their push notifications and have in the notifications options which of those notifications would be enabled or not, how often and how frequent before a notification is presented. This would then be gathered by the OS as how many notifications were silenced and how often were they acted upon, then force that as default to all notifications. More importantly, there must not be a "important" flag or something that hints hierarchy. If a notification is important, describe that in the category description.
I like your idea of feature branches, but people do need to know the data model and how to manage their history. They will inevitably be out of sync and clumsily tring to get merge all day to get their files in sync.

Keeping the history clean is more important than just syncing files.
I don’t need nuances I need to know if the runway is clear or not.
Fuchsia is having a mainstream browser ported to it, as one can see by searching the Chromium project's commit logs for the string "fuchsia," whereas a mainstream browser has never run on Plan 9, nor is there a realistic chance of it happening in the future. My definition of "mainstream" is having had more than 1000 users on its best day ever and able to render most popular web sites without tons of glitches and bugs.

Plan 9 has its own low-level graphics and windowing libraries that have never received any porting effort by any of the mainstream browsers. Porting a mainstream browser to Plan 9 is about 50 times more labor than has ever been put into Plan 9 even when Bell Labs was footing the bill (in the early 1990s or earlier).
I recall the Y2K hoax story appearing very early on. It soon got supplanted by the 9/11 "hoax."
Problem is that RDS comes at a price. It is purely about operation cost.

When you have 1500+ databases these cost add up. At that point, this kind of techniques are required to self host the databases. Price per DB with HPA na VPA is way lower than what you would pay for managed databases as well as you can hire a full time devops+dbadmin and still be cheaper.
> The user isn't using a "tell me when discounts happen" feature

Then that's a plain abuse of push notifications, in my view. If the user didn't ask for marketing messages, they shouldn't be pushed.

I would simply make the path finder assume all unknown areas are traversable. As the areas are discovered, you re-run the path finder. Eventually it will unveil enough of the map to find the path.

Of course, there's a possibility that the uncovered area of the map has a known possible path, but there's an undiscovered shorter path. You could tweak the cost of traveling through unknown areas to nudge the path finder towards or away from trying to travel through unknown areas of the map in case there's a shorter way.

I am a senior developer who's worked for the past five years at robotics startups creating global configuration and control networks for global fleets, as well as building out automated deep learning pipelines. I'm currently finishing up the last course for my Master's degree in Robotics Engineering as well.

I am looking for a challenging position at a robotics company to help advance the adoption of cutting edge robotics in the world.
git merge doesn't conserve the history it pollutes it. any more than a few merges or a few developers and you are left with an impossible to read merge log with 10+ parallel paths.

Git rebase preserves a linear history . Keep a reflog on the server (github has one built in) for cases where someone has screwed up the history. and secure shared branches to avoid clobbering it.
The big question is, can we find a more intuitive interface?

I think git is pretty close to the most intuitive interface possible, but the problem git solves is hard, as you say. Even the best interface, programmed by God, might not make this easy.

You wrote:

> They will have access to far more data than the cabin crew will (e.g. whether the engines are safely shut down, circumstances on the ground thanks to radio contact etc.).

This is not remotely guaranteed. It would be more accurate to say that the pilots will have access to information that the cabin crew don't have access to and vice versa. If the cabin crew sees that the plane has stopped, there's a fire on board, and instructions are not forthcoming from the pilots, the cabin crew absolutely must initiate an evacuation sua sponte. Heck, if the cabin crew won't do it then the passengers might. People can and do freeze in the face of emergencies. When you have a fire on board all bets are off, and someone had better step up and begin the evacuation -- better that it all be orderly than not, but also better that it happen at all than not.
That might introduce silent bugs, a much more reasonable way would be for "use strict"; to throw an error when == is used.
I think OP is saying it's sad it escalated due to incompetence from university leadership. As a result, we have a loud public precedent around donors and politicians calling shots at universities.
They are two completely different projects with completely different goals. Indeed Go was started by Rob Pike, Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer, the first two of which also worked on Plan 9, and the Go compilers can trace their lineage back to the Plan 9 C compilers (with some pit-stops between there). Plan 9 was designed with the retrospective on UNIX and it's trappings, with a focus on networked distributed systems.
Fuchsia is by a completely different team not involving Plan 9 alumni (as far as a I know) and has a different target, mostly aimed at embedded systems. If I recall correctly fuchsia development involved some alumni from the BeOS/Haiku world but don't quote me on that.
I've been learning boring old SQL over the last few months, and I've found the AIs quite helpful at pointing out some things that are perhaps too obvious for the tutorials to call out.

I don't mind taking suggestions about code from an AI because I can immediately verify the AI's suggestion by running the code, make small edits, and testing it.
