Where I drive daily I constantly have to make decisions which no self-driving car system I know about can possibly do. They don't foresee upcoming gridlocks caused by you driving completely legally but blocking (again, legally) a car from crossing to a side road, that car again blocks the car behind it, which blocks the car in front of you from doing a left turn, which means that you can't move and unlock the gridlock. That's just one on my commute. Then there's driving uphill on snow, seeing a person walking on the other side of the road and a car coming in the other direction. You foresee that this car will have some problems braking for that person (which would be the normal procedure - I'm coming the other way, that car shouldn't try to pass the person). So, what I do is to slow down and give that other driver confidence to pass. And sometimes I have to do the other thing - speeding up a bit in order to create room for another car to let that car avoid problems (if I were a computer I would have no reason to think about that).

This is also something happening all the time where I drive. And tons of other understanding-the-traffic cases.

Self-driving systems only follow the rules. That is not sufficient. When general artificial intelligence eventually arrives - that's when we get self-driving cars better than humans, in any other cases than for trivial cases. And yes, computers could drive cars in trivial places, it's just that those places are pretty much non-existing where I live and drive.
I guess paying a local to put tiles as we were doing a century ago is deemed too simple and expensive at the same time?
Better to use some polymer derived from Saudi Aramco's oil, printed on a machine made in China, somewhere in east Europe at the very best.

At least a couple British managers got paid a fair amount to discuss the proposed designs in a meeting room with their contractors.
One thing that confuses me about the C committee is their inconsistent attitude towards breaking existing code. For example, in C89-C17, calling realloc with a size of 0 would free the referenced buffer and return a NULL pointer. This helped use cases where realloc was called in a loop on data that changes size. In C23, they changed it so calling realloc with a size of 0 was undefined behavior. This breaks any code that was doing what was previously idiomatic realloc behavior. It's also hard to find in existing codebases because the length passed to realloc will be a variable in most cases.

However, the C committee refused to define NULL as (void *)0 because they were afraid of breaking existing library implementations that define NULL as 0. They instead introduced a new nullptr keyword that's defined as (void *)0.

I just don't understand the inconsistency.

Hey author here. Couple of things:

1. I omitted the Copy, Acquire, Kill part of the title. And while I often do complain about my own actions, I did not in this situation.

2. I'm always salty! :) Less so with Hacker News. I was exaggerating in my writing to show the silliness of trying to convince people to write while highlighting the parts that make writing less fun. Though I concede that sarcasm often does me no favors.

Ultimately, my beef with my favorite news agg is the lack of editorial note when they change a post title.

> Democracy means the people have the power.

Are you really that naive?
Democracy is majority(mob) rule, driven by the organizations or groups that know how to manipulate the mob (Public).

The Majority doesn't represent the people, they're only the people that convinced themselves they are more right then the rest of the people and have risen into their own positions of power and feed off of their own delusions of grandeur.
It's even harder than harvesting lightnings.
The heat generated by the LED ads is tiny compared to the heat generated by the actual trains and I think they handled that one very well.

Using my mothers phone is terrifying.

Her philosophy for using her phone seems to be "Just press OK until I get what I was looking for".
This assumes that the main purpose of reading is always enjoyment. Often that is not the case; we read because we require the knowledge contained in the book for our work. The converse of only engaging with a book on an emotional level and retaining only those details which are interesting is forgetting those parts which were difficult/boring but useful.
Re clearance/cause: VASA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fItu5qM7QfE also couldn't make it out, but it sounds like the Coast Guard Dash 8 got a not really perfect taxi instruction (neither "hold short" nor "line up and wait") to one of the other C* intersections leading onto 34R while a Delta flight occupied C1, but entered the runway anyway. The A350 got a proper clearance it read back correctly.

Also looks like all C hold short lines have embedded guard lights - ie the stop "bar" on the way to the runway should have been flashing brightly.

I stopped using emoji five years ago, because I disagree philosophically with the system. I think it's insane that displaying text should require software updates and fail to be backward compatible. Moreover, the demand for new emoji is insatiable, so the system is not practical or scalable. Unicode is not infinitely extensible.

If I need to express myself without words, I stick to a few emoticons such as :-) ;-) and ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. That's all I really need.
It has nothing to do with anthropomorphizing. The Git project uses the style of:

Refactor x

As in: command (verb: refactor) the code to change in this way. That a person wrote the code is irrelevant.
The argument here seems to be that there is a free supply of software developers available for the taking. Software developers are quite well paid, which suggests this is not true.

I was hoping to be surprised to see WinRAR on many people's list, and as of right now I see exactly zero people purchased WinRAR as I sadly expected.

I didn't purchase it either.
Does Rizin have a straight-up console hex editor? It looks great for reversing executables, but sometimes I just want to edit some binary data.
It is not and has never been a good classifier. If open AI fans want to contribute something of value to society, they would train a spam classifier on a large, manually-labeled corpus of mail, where the features include envelope data. That would get open source maybe 10% of the way to Gmail quality, or 100x better than SA.
And mental, think about something like chess! In general it's just incredible how good we can become at anything. It's kind of interesting to think about in times long past where warfare was melee based and how there would have been similar outliers. Somebody who lucked into some good genetics, good diet, and good training would have been a mountain among men.
So the parent commenter tried to tell you, that they (and I too) heard this story from junior and bad programmers in the past 20 years all the time, and they didn’t use LLMs. It doesn’t matter whether you use generative AIs or not, it’s a bad way of thinking, and long term it’s not beneficial to anybody. The real problem is that you didn’t dig deeper when you figured out that that code change fixed the problem.
I meant the opposite. It seems like even amongst the relatively normal group of people I know, the rate of sexlessness seems higher than these stats suggest.

Do you happen to have a link to said essay or know the name as I can't find it and would be interested in reading it. I also gladly confess to not remembering the plot of the vast majority of the works of fiction that I've read.
But the OP is talking about creating a new blog (a website that has a collection of blog posts).
Spot on - it is one of the main reasons I haven't enjoyed programming in recent years, so much of it is learning what you call "garbage knowledge". Yet another API, yet another DSL, yet another standard library. Endless reading of internal wiki pages to learn the byzantine deployment system of my current company. Even worse, when I know exactly what I want, but some little dependency or piece of tooling is bad and I spend hours, or days, trying to debug it.

I, too, find LLMs a balm for this pain. They have kind-of-basic level of knowledge, but about everything.

In short, it allows for a more efficient expenditure of mental and emotional energy!

I'm sorry, but if you don't understand what is being said to you I think the odds are pretty good that you were speaking out of turn when you were making proclamations about what developers usually do with static languages with regards to hot reloading code. If you don't know about dynamic loading of shared libraries and can't even parse these replies I think maybe you should just admit that you just didn't know what you were talking about when you said that. I don't have examples of this in open source projects because I don't have some list of open source games or whatever that I can point to (and honestly no one should have to give an example of something so trivial and well used).

I sent you a video of someone doing this in less than 2 hours without even using non-OS dependencies. It's an example of someone actually doing it and showing how trivial it is to dynamically reload code when it changes in statically typed, ahead-of-time compiled languages, a class of languages you claimed don't have hot reloading of code without "complicated IDEs".

Right, the classic phrase is "markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent"
There are two problems with this argument. The first, and easier to accept one is that while society might be better off, in the long run , as a result the affected individuals will probably not. We tend to generalize from a single historical example, the industrial revolution and, more specifically, the automatic loom, and in that case the displaced workers ended up doing worse. Better jobs and opportunities only got created later.

The other problem is, of course, is that all the historical examples (the data) are too few to generalize from while we do see how these examples are different from each other. As technological evolution progresses, automation gets more and more sophisticated, it can replace jobs that require more and more skills and talent. In other words, jobs that fewer and fewer people were able to do in the first place. This means that the bar for successfully competing in the labor market gets higher and higher and it will get to a point where a substantial number of people will just be plain uncompetitive for any job.

Or, at least that was one of the morels until LLMs were invented. (Mostly everyone thought that automation would take over the opportunities from the bottom up in general.) Now it seems that indeed white collar jobs are more in danger for now. But I digress.

The point here is that past examples are false analogies because AI (and I moslty mean future AI) is funcamentally different from past inventions. It's capabilities seem to improve quickly but we're mostly stuck with what evolution gave us. (We, as a species, are evolving but it's very slow compared to the rate of technological evolution and also we, as individuals, are stuck with whatever we were born with.)

Huh, it came out in 1995. I don't think I ever saw it until a couple years into the 2000s. I think I did buy it.
I'm curious what the relevant part of that article is? As far as I can tell the only pertinent reference to passenger behaviour is the listing of "Passengers' knowledge of safety procedures and their motivation to get acquainted with them" as a factor in evacuation, which...does not really have anything to do with whether the passenger is "distracted" at the moment of an incident occurring.

I feel like people are equating "not paying attention" (which, what does that even mean for a passenger in a jetliner? not paying attention to what?) with "unpreparedness" when that doesn't really make any sense.
This directly contradicts the Wikipedia article on the subject [1], and in general the page you link looks more like pseudoscience than not. Do you have a better source, maybe from a published paper or the NIH?

JPS is fun; though I struggled to interpret the suggested performance gains by the authors indeed due to the calculation of the jump nodes.

Ok, I watched a video somebody else linked.

People don't act at all the same after getting crashed into by another plane, barely making it to the ground in a plane filled with smoke and fire, as they do when those things haven't happened?

You don't say.

Would you say it's a good idea to throw yourself tumbling down the emergency slide and sprint away from the plane if those things hadn't happened?

This is not even a remotely helpful comment.

> * Apps can implement Notification Channels, a way to categorize different types of notifications so that users can enable some but not others.

This is something that is underutilized by non power users on Android, and makes it FAR better than iOS on top of the already better notification delivery system

I'm seeing the same airplane incident text and video on Threads, Reddit, and every news website though. I'm not getting hot takes from Twitter luminaries, but I don't really mind.
I don't think there's any magic bullet to tech hiring. You can pay over-the-top for headhunters and the like, and get almost useless candidates. You can have people who can barely figure out how to submit a resume who turn out to be serious 10x superstars.

It's hit or miss, and takes time. The only thing I've ever found that works is doing as much as possible on an interim/consultant/1099 basis. If things work out, hire permanently. If not, no harm no foul.
Don’t text notifications suffice?

I’m not sure you’re focused on the important question. For example: Who you marry, if you choose to go that route, may very well be the most important decision you’ll ever make.

Putting that aside, based on your question and willingness to put it out there… I would say this: just surrender to what charms you right now. Do you feel drawn toward programming? Follow that. Or math? Follow that. They may not be mutually exclusive.

As you go, stay tuned in to how you feel about the activity in the moment. Not your anxiety about what you think about the future prospects, but just how it feels right now to be doing the thing. That feeling may change over time, and it will guide you if you stay tuned in.
Daylight sky, with emphasis on daylight, and ocean blue only for people living next to a large body of water. Objects in nature are rarely blue. At night, nothing is blue, most of our history the only color at night is the orange-reddish of the camp fire (and yes, 100 years of light bulbs don't replace 50,000 years of conditioning of camp fires).
The following protocol will put most people in the top 20% of health outcomes if you're consistent for 2 years. If you're baseline healthy, it'll put you in top 10%. If you keep it up for a lifetime, I'm certain it will add at least a decade of 'high quality years' to your life (I'm not talking life extension, but quality of life).

A good diet (no/minimal processed foods), lots of water, 7.5-8 hours of sleep, limited stress, strong family/social circle, regular (3-5x per week) cardio, (2x per week) strength training, 1x per week high intensity cardio for 30 minutes, and regular stretching/flexibility for 15 minutes per day.
This is a bad take man, "when its done" will never come having read through your comments on this you seem to really be going for some perfection in your hobby and until thats released won't release, but the issue is that rarely if ever happens, and instead of getting insights on your code and the community and yourself actually improving the landscape it's basically just a fancy exe, that no one will use actually because theres no where for it to go except in your head.

Diving into the world of A* pathfinding reveals some serious game dev wizardry. Think about it: creating complex navigation systems that scale from city streets to cozy rooms, all while cleverly using data to guide characters, not just dictate their every move. And then there's the art of optimizing pathing in buildings, turning it into a fine-tuned dance of bits and bytes. It's amazing how these intricate details weave together to bring virtual worlds to life. Makes you think that sharing these behind-the-scenes insights in video logs could inspire a whole new generation of game creators.

Ground control wouldn't have cleared them to hold short, or to position and hold (US: "line up and wait"). That would have been the tower, not ground. Ground is only responsible for taxiways, not runways.

The Coastguard plane was cleared to hold short at C2, but entered the runway instead from C2 as if cleared to position and hold (Edit: Or maybe they thought they were cleared to take off, but that's far less likely).
I'm not sure about that. Drill some holes, pump some water, and geothermal power straight to the grid can be done. Harvesting lighting would require innumerable towers and even would require some trickery to get it hooked up to our power grids.
Bunch of games, mainly from the big names (Apogee and Epic). Only "indie" game I can think of right now is Megazeux, though there might have been others.

Oh, there was one from a local guy that I'm not sure ever spread beyond our local BBSs, and I've never seen a reference to it on the Internet. I keep meaning to upload it to archive.org at some point since I may be the only one in the world who has it.
Fully agree with the reason behind blue LEDs, but it does not make it acceptable for end users. I would prefer orange any time, green and yellow have too often a status meaning (good/bad), while orange does not and I think it is more neutral.
FLAC’s compression algorithm was pretty much garbage when it came out, and is much worse now compared to the state of the art. Even mp3 + gzip residuals would probably compress better.

FLAC doesn’t support more modern sampling formats (e.g. floating point for mastering), or complex multi channel compression for surround sound formats.

There just isn’t something better (and free) to replace it yet.
That's half of it:

> With Artemis missions, NASA will land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before.

This is a demonstrably faulty conclusion. Even without commit messages, version control lets you do things that you would not be able to do otherwise, such as to roll back a failed refactoring attempt, for example.
Visualising NTS Radio Sets as an Interconnected Network
Recently I've been thinking about new ways to discover music and made this page to traverse all NTS Radio (https://www.nts.live/) sets as an interconnected network.

It works by displaying all sets containing the selected track. You can then click through white nodes to traverse the network or search for a specific song/artist. All the data is downloaded to the client and traversal is done locally so the page is static.
