As others have pointed out, FSM's are very useful to formalize/organize behaviour in a stateful workflow. One domain where I think they shine is in implementing structured binary format decoders (such as multimedia streams).

Here is a brief introduction which may be of help:

No, the question is what authorities and regulators conclude, after this incident is properly investigated, regarding improvements and risk mitigation measures have to be put in place. Aerospace regulations are written in blood, and almost-blood, not in public outcry.
True, but almost no one is writing HTML anymore. So if I'm anyway post-processing my tsx / jsx / vue / whatever files, I might was well use a language that's great.

As for adding a layer to what devs needs to learn - that's why I don't generally use this at work. In those situations you often need to pick the most common tools and not the best tools.

Is there any data that this is “what’s working?”. Seems the most engaged are the least influential.
Here is the Finnish one

I couldn’t find any info if it is based gps data or time tables but I have checked and seen my train that was late being stopped where it in reality was (waiting for another train that was late to pass on a 1 track line)
Does the evidence support that idea? My understanding was that the information we have right now seems to suggest the opposite.
FTA: "I am now accumulating aging damage slower than the average 10 year old"

All the "incorrect" uses of those words are fine and are a part of the language. Outside of prescriptivism, that's just the use of the language, not misuse.

Microsoft considered C done, as clarified by Herb Sutter.

https://herbsutter.com/2012/05/03/reader-qa-what-about-vc-an...

They only kept updating their C support to the extent required by ISO C++ requirements, and some key customers.

Anyone else still dependent on C was suggested to use clang, this is also why clang is part of Visual Studio compiler suite nowadays.

Around the time the Microsoft <3 Linux stuff started, they decided to backtrack on this matter, and started updating their C support, however since C11 made a couple of stuff from C99 optional, they decided to skip on those.

VLAs have anyway been proven a rich source of exploits, to the extent Google has sponsored the work to clean up the Linux kernel from all uses of them.

Minor nitpick, but the Japan Coast Guard is not a military (and so the concerned aircraft isn't military).

It serves under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism; unlike the JSDF which serves under the Ministry of Defense.
- AI underwhelms in terms of advancements and economic benefits (although we do get marginally better models), but politicians begin to become increasingly concerned by politically and sexuality controversial AI generated content and demand big tech does / regulators do more.

- The public continues to be increasingly gaslight as conspiracy theorists, with this becoming a major theme of the US presidential election where every candidate that isn't Biden is considered a conspiracy theorist in one way or another. Many politicians, judges and big tech CEOs believe we need to do more to prevent "conspiracy theorist" candidates like, Trump, Vivek, RFK, and their European counterparts being elected.

- Sentiment on VR shifts. Many of those previously sceptical about AR/VR acknowledge that it's likely one of the next major tech trends.

- Tensions regarding RU/UA further escalates after path to RU victory becomes clear. Many leaders dislike the the concessions UA will need to make to Russia. After reluctant peace negotiations leaders demand that UA is given long-range offensive weapons to defend themselves from further Russian attacks. European borders become more militarised. Russia continues escalate rhetoric around nuclear conflict.

- China's economy continues to stagnate.

- Economic growth in US remains "surprisingly" robust, especially when contrasted with Europe. Europe continues to blame their economic problems on Russia, the rich not paying enough tax and a lack of regulation.

Random things:

- We make a significant advancement in curing some common age-related disease like cancer or alzheimer's.

- Elon Musk dies leading to wide-spread conspiracies regarding the cause of his death. This causes Joe Rogan and others to ramp up conspiracy content in the run up to the US presidential election and are then deplatformed for spreading harmful "misinformation".

- Racial and cultural tensions in Western Europe escalate significantly. Far-right parties and narratives make significant headway, however the rise of the far-right is met equally by the rise of far-left parties and narratives. This racial and cultural division will largely define the lines of European politics this decade with all parties supporting increasingly authoritarian policies to fix the problems of the other side.
Well, not really. Do people consent when politicians reallocate their taxes to bail out too "large to fail" institutions? Given the protests, I think not. What if you didn't vote for the candidate that voted in the bailout? What if you specifically didn't vote (or voted for an opponent of) that policymaker. That's actually anti-consent
Your citation pretty clearly demonstrates that drug-sniffing dogs DO work. And anybody who has ever had a dog sniff something out would find this to be an obvious fact.

The omitted figure is how large the sample size is. If the dog sniffs 100,000, and identifies 10 as having drug odor, but only 2 of the 10 are currently in the possession of drugs, that doesn't really indicate that the dog "has a failure rate of 75%" because it doesn't take into account any of the "negative identifications." We don't know how many of those other identifications were false negatives, but certainly I wouldn't expect 25% of the population to be carrying illicit drugs at any given time, and especially not in scenarios where there may be a checkpoint with a dog involved.

The dogs may be misused, but that doesn't make their ability a myth, and neither does this article claim that a dog can't sniff out the trace scents of a drug. It carefully skirts around this assertion, because dogs absolutely can sniff out drugs. They're just not infallible, and may also be used as pretext.

This is speciously true for almost everything though. You can learn Rust or C or COBOL to the point where you understand idiomatic code well at first glance. But (1) newbies still get confused by these languages and (2) COBOL remains a terrible choice for new code.

That any language can be "sight read" isn't really at issue. It's whether or not the language we've picked is a good one or not.

It's hard to know what that is. TCAS is a great example of an obvious solution to mid-air collisions - two devices seamlessly negotiate for one plane to go up, the other to go down.

One I can think of is an electronic runway "lock". ATC mark the runway as locked to a particular aircraft. The landing aircraft checks at minimums whether if the runway is locked to any other aircraft. It's harder to know how to prevent incursions at ground level, but it could be a beacon near the runway threshold and intersecting taxiways, flashing a warning in the cockpit of the taxing aircraft if an aircraft on final holds the lock. A pilot could still disregard it. Sometimes two planes can share the same runway, such as a plane lining up while another vacates, which adds further problems.

I'm not aware of any system like this.

Uh. We don't even know why we get heartburn and how to treat it. You comment sounds like, why does my toddler lack interest in reading Shakespeare.
Absolutely. In this case this means your pre-process will be less deterministic, hence your success ratio will be lower (maybe a lot lower). Perhaps improving your communication and data analysis skills would do good, as this sort of context is characterized by asymmetric information. Even though you’re in the market, this is still research, just of a different kind. I would try and find the “hidden variables” for each candidate hypothesis. Assuming “performance” to be the true abstract metric you’ll be striving for, it’s important to identify what particular concrete performance metric is worthwhile improving. For instance, consumers may suggest interest in feature A and B, but once you analyze their yield you identify they are time-saving features at their core. If time is the hidden variable, then where in the product lies the best opportunity for saving user time, even though the customers might not be mentioning it? I would guess that most requests or indications coming from customers will fall more or less in the same few buckets in respect to hidden variables and related metrics. Overall you shouldn’t take customer feedback as prescriptions, but as symptoms, and those symptoms might not even be related to what they’re being vocal about, since they might be stuck in a corner not by the lack of improvements in that existing domain but maybe by the lack of an entire novel domain. Think of it like a Tetris game, locally, each region in the bricks stack require some particular piece to solve that region, but globally, that’s not a good strategy, as a whole different piece in a whole different region would solve a larger portion of the stack.
While I mostly agree with you, you are describing the NFT art market not the technology itself. At its core, NFT is a technology to create digital scarcity and can be used for non-hype cases such as storing a contract or a wedding certificate. Right now that's not what it's used for, but perhaps in the future it can be a useful technology to store information in niche cases rather than being a modern day gold rush. As someone who has dabbled in NFTs, the current state of the NFT art market repulses me even more than cryptobros.

40 Minutes – 'Heart of the Angel' London Tube
Avoiding an unnecessary death isn't living in fear, it's living by common sense.
> at this point, we are very far from the first hackers in the 60s. As I get older I find that it is harder and harder to talk about technology with an hacking perspective, where there are no walls or pre-cooked ideas, and the limit is the exploration. For everything you say there is a best practice. For every idea there is a taboo. To this new setup I say LOLWUT, since I don’t feel represented by it, nor it represents hacking, at least in my vision.

Well said.
germans have the best engineers in the world and are the most clever people i have ever met. if they do something like aerating their homes, i will bet they are, again, more clever than us who don't do it as much... indoor pollution is something we don't detect and suffer, and again germans beat us there.
As anyone who watched The Wire knows, thanks to Stringer Bell's pitch to Marlo Stanfield, "they turn your things against you, that's how they get you".

Conspicuous consumption is bound to trigger alarms. The smart wealth makes itself as invisible as possible, and typically plans generational succession instead.

If you really want to enjoy your riches, you better build all sorts of deniability layers first, or do it as part of retirement from the game. If this guy had dismantled the hack, left the job and retired to a Florida mansion, he wouldn't have been caught.
> but the conventional static languages folks have generally needed to rely on support in sophisticated IDEs to get the same thing, and many end up going without

Not really, building and using shared libraries to do this has been trivial for decades.
> Image if C++ static libraries could only use C compatible POD structs and none of the C++ parameter types for example.

That's the only way to expose a C++ library to other languages though, or even make a DLL written for one C++ compiler consumable by a program written with another C++ compiler.

It's a limitation for sure, but definitely not a show stopper.
Yes, all of this.

Starting a VM with a cloud provider you already know and use may be extremely fast, but adopting a new cloud provider isn't.

Even if your organisation is so unbureaucratic you can get a new provider set up without any due diligence work, every cloud provider comes with their own oddities. Will they have a wacky set of default firewall rules? Will they only offer Debian not Ubuntu, if you want an instance with the CUDA drivers already installed? Will they insist you learn what a 'provisioned iops' is before letting you start an instance? Will some GPUs only be available in certain regions? Will accounts have quota limits that vary by region, availability zone and GPU type, some of which default to zero?

The "mandatory 2 weeks time off at a time in many jurisdictions" statement might not be precise enough or technically accurate description of the legal status. It's more like "everywhere I know it's mandatory to take 2 weeks time off" and the mandate can come from the institution itself, their partners or a regulatory body recommendation or requirement.

There are many different systems which are fair in the sense that they treat all artists equally, but in fact artists are not equal.

Some artists are powerful enough that people would leave a streaming service if it didn't have them, so they are able to bargain for more then the service can pay to everyone.

Both Twitter and LinkedIn are optimized for hot takes and fomo. It’s like a high stakes gambling of attention. I think the value of these places should be measured long term, in which case psychological biases wear off a bit. Noise is not always meaningful for a business.

My product was featured in random tech blogs, the “PC magazine” stuff that a lot of techies look down on. At one time, it was also featured in a high-profile trendy tech magazine. Initially, it drove a lot of traffic. But after only a few days, things were back to normal, and the user uptick was minimal. It turned out that even though not cool at all, the tech blogs were much better for me, because they had visitors that needed my product.

The point is: the spaces you hang out can make you think that “every important thing and person is here”, which can distort your view of the world. As a business you want to be where your customers are. You don’t have to be a “thought leader”.
I wish blueprint was more public and open about the methodology and data. Johnson is doing so many interventions and it would be interesting to have public data for them beyond a periodic aggregate snapshot on the blueprint websites which basically amounts to a marketing page. In comparison someone like Michael Lustgarten (1) publishes nearly everything, documents what intervention they are about to do, do it, and then publish the results.

> The US has dominated the global cultural conversation and the "other americans" have given up or never thought to challenge it.

To be equivalent, it would have to be the US saying that Canadians and Mexicans were "really" just "states" of America (as Beijing insists that Cantonese is "really" just a "dialect" of Chinese) and intentionally attempting to marginalize Canadian / Mexican distinctives.

I don't think I'd mind calling Mandarin "Chinese" if they didn't then insist that Cantonese is also "Chinese", use that to gaslight Cantonese speakers into thinking that their spoken language wasn't a real language, but "full of slang", and that their written language needed to be closer to Mandarin to be "correct Chinese".
> Most real estate bought in BC is paid in cash, often by some dizzying maze of LLCs or whatever the Canadian equivalent is.

This is provably false. It's not "most" real estate, it has only recently approached 30% or so, and only in hot markets like Vancouver and Victoria.

There's a money laundering problem in Canadian real estate for sure, but let's try to be reasonably accurate in our statements, shall we?

But it is different for the reasons I mentioned. It's a very unbalanced 'reunification' due to the size difference in both parties which will pretty much bring Taiwan under CCP control without any shared input. That's not a unification where both parties benefit. Hong Kong shows this very well.

Also, it's not really a "re" unification either because Taiwan has never been under CCP control. Before that Chinese rule goes back to the 1890s but it always had its own indigenous people and customs.

For me LLMs revealed how easily it is to manipulate masses with properly done marketing. Despite these tools being obviously unreliable, tens of people on here report how well they work and how much they changed their lives. Shows that with sufficient propaganda you can make people see and feel things which are not there - not a new concept. But what’s new to me is just how easy it is.
I prefer to formulate goals as something I want to achieve, not something I want to do. For me, this year, the number one goal is to become competent at marketing.

When I started last year, I told myself I need to get competent at sales, or I will always need some CEO by my side and never have a business that's truly my own. Now I'm pretty decent at sales, but I can't fully leverage that since I don't have enough prospects to truly scale things. So figuring marketing out seems like my biggest lever.

How, I don't know yet. Pretty sure I won't post anything on LinkedIn I consider to be cringy :) What I already did is hire a fractional CMO to coach me - getting help from people already good at this seems like a reasonable tactic.
