Is there data which shows accidents per flight?

edit:

I found some and put it into a Sheet for convenience of sort-ability.

As far as raw accident per flight data, only Concorde is worse than the Max series. Wow.

love seeing government all in on self preservation.
When personal computers became just another consumer electronics gadget, they ceased being tools optimized for their prior primary use cases.

It's no surprise this has resulted in removal of things like status/activity lights. The same thing happened to automobiles when they went mainstream. Now you have to get an enthusiast/sports car just to get oil pressure and voltage gauges, and even then they're likely to be nerfed to non-linearity so they're always in the same place until so far outside of normal that it's too late to prevent any negative consequences.

I'm looking at you, rental Turbo Passat coolant gauge that stayed perfectly still until overheating in Death Valley accompanied by an instantaneous jump from Normal to pinned in the red on the temperature gauge I was attentively monitoring. smh.

Another example is the original MX-5's oil pressure gauge that was so active you could use it as a proxy for engine RPM, which is normal. The next generation "improved" this with one that stayed stationary in the upper range once the engine had any pressure at all, compressing all "normal" pressures to that needle position, effectively turning it into an oil pressure switch+light in analog needle form.

I'm still waiting for a PC/Laptop manufacturer targeting specifically this market. Clicky keyboards, hardware connectivity switches, status/activity lights galore, i.e. a rebirth of the OG classic ThinkPads w/modern SoCs/displays/batteries. They'll be expensive, but so are Porsches, I can't be alone in wanting this...
Audibly speaking: "Cortana, bring back Mr. Clippy."
Yes but I have my iPhone everywhere and the pictures the 15 pro max takes are beyond ‘good enough’.

Even the zoom is pretty good nowadays.

Often the choice isn’t iPhone photo or DSLR photo it’s iPhone or no photo at all.

It’s a right faff getting the DSLR out and carrying it around. I brought mine to NYC over Xmas and ended up using my phone mostly.

Also no one I know prints photos out, they look at them on their phone, iPad or maybe TV if they care enough or have a screensaver slideshow.

I’d love to use my DSLR more and every year I tell myself I’m going to but I just… don’t.

Argh. I moved away but am back in NL regularly and the train service has degraded beyond all recognition for me done in comparison to 2021 or so.

Short trains, cancellation of 75% of scheduled services for random reasons, regular failures on key links (Amsterdam CS/Zuid-Schiphol, HSL-Zuid, Delft-Rotterdam etc etc) leading to widespread network disruptions.

NS wasn’t perfect before, but it sure seems that they and their evil twin, ProRail, aren’t even trying any more.
It's usually not about a single parent function and a called function. It's usually a long chain of calls where functions keep passing them around, from the point of construction. Imagine some function first creates that 24-byte object, then pass it around by pointer. Ten function calls later dereferencing that pointer will need access to main memory. Now imagine that first function passes the object by value; ten function calls later perhaps the contents of the object is duplicated on the stack ten times, but there's no cache miss.

It's a tradeoff between reducing memory usage and reducing cache misses.
I spent a long time preparing for this because for a managed postgres service there's a hiccup: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Locale_data_changes

Migrating to rhel8 was being considered, but since locale changes are inevitable, it made an opportunity to have us pivot to ubuntu

Title:

> Boeing wants FAA to exempt MAX 7 from safety rules to get it in the air

I bet they do and the FAA should rightly tell them to fuck off if they're not willing to go through the formal procedure to get their proven-dangerous planes back into commercial aviation.
Degradation is supposed to be 12% after 200,000 miles: https://electrek.co/2023/04/25/tesla-update-battery-degradat...

But, like all batteries they degrade fastest at the beginning. Not sure how typical your situation is. How many miles?
Trains are full in my country because nothing have been expanded in the last 50 years, so with the population growing 50% it can't keep up. I commute with a train and when people say they want lower prices so more people will commute I roll my eyes.
I mean sure it's "everybody" but renaming Edge to Edge: AI Browser (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft....) is more over the top than most.
Boston to minneapolis could pass through:

MA: Springfield

NY: Albany, Buffalo,Rochester

Oh: Sandusky, Cleavland, Toledo,

IN: Fort wayne

IL: Chicago, Rockford,

WI: Madison, LaCrosse, Eu Claire, Milwaukee

With some fairly minor deviations on the path. (Assuming a fairly straight path that stays in the US, going south of the lakes). Depending on your tolerance for minor deviations from the straightest possible path it could be all or a subset, but not none of those. They are all medium sized or larger cities.

There are ton of small cities too, but the train doesnt have to stop in each one - there's lots of through trains in Europe to that skip towns/cities they pass.
So Google is spending millions on a program that makes them no money and in fact probably costs them and is hated by users and creators a like because of a former CEO? I think you need to wake up and smell the coffee. A company like Google does things because it either makes them money or it saves them money. It's not rocket science. But sure, the boys club is so strong the folks at Google are willing to take home less money to protect a former CEO. Have a word with yourself.
Ok, then sell it as a service. Say $3/mo.
Is there a pattern in Germany engineering? Airport Berlin, Stuttgart 21, constantly late running trains? Is Germany over-engineered and over-regulated, what's the issue?
>If you're getting pushback on this, consider that this may say more about your social circle.

Maybe, just maybe, technology should serve the user by enabling people to socialize with whom they wish, rather than the opposite.
I guess the issue is that the yards where the trains are stabled are all above ground. If you can't get the crews to them, inspect, and operate them safely, you can't get them in the tunnels. Subway trains are all also 3rd or 4th rail powered, so I can see how lots of (effectively) standing water makes people nervous.

The mitigation I suppose would be to get them underground in advance, and when/if the snow hits you just run with what you've got.
Not sure whether you're sarcastic or doing some PRs but trains in Germany are from my experience definitely not awesome. Flying is usually much more reliable in Germany as long as it doesn't snow (but trains are stopped too when it snows anyway). Trains in Germany are:
1- constantly delayed (ironically I already missed my flight because of that)
2- very expensive (unless you've hours to waste on regional trains)
3- slow in average (yes it can clock at 300kmh+ for 20 minutes just to get stuck behind a freight train using the same network..)

I'm sure this button will share the same fate come 2030, 2034. That said, I'm curious what GNOME and MATE will do with it -if anything.
Edit: I messed up the math - didn't see 100k per day of flights...
huh. and if your device is online, it syncs via BW cloud?

I don't remember 100% but I thought a long time ago I had a local-only kind of BW setup. At some point I had to (or was dark pattern encouraged to) create a BW account on their cloud. Ever since then, my local vault has my email address associated with it.

Right now, if I open the app fresh, I get the "login page". There don't seem to be any other pages/dialogs that one can open at this point. "Log in or create a new account".

The field to login is an email address. The choices are to log in on bitwarden.com, bitwarden.eu, or self-hosted. There is no option to unlock local vault without contacting one of the 3 server options. I use bitwarden.com. If the server can't be reached, the vault does not unlock.

There's another option to "Create account". That requires an email and password setup. There's no server selection on that pane.

There's no option to not use an "account" and just unlock the local vault. There's no option to create a vault, apart from creating an "account".
That's a tough and important movie
IIRC they didn't want distributed via any package manager (apt, yum &c.); nixpkgs was not singled-out[1]. This was a while ago, so I may have misremembered.

1: Though NixOS users have both social and technical reasons for more strongly wanting software to be in nixpkgs than e.g. Ubuntu users have for wanting the software to be distributed via apt.
I think LLMs did not exist or barely existed at the time he wrote this.
What percent?

Apple for example is known (I don't have the numbers in front of me) for making high margins on their hardware and not digital transactions though they're certainly trying to grow that sector.

If you mean of the overall pie, wouldn't that just place burdensome regulation on new and small businesses or new sectors since as soon as you own a percent of the "digital pie" (what exactly is that anyway?) you have to then comply with regulations that could just open up your proprietary business features to your competitors?

Why is it that Apple and Google's app store duopoly a tax on competition when they created the sector that enabled businesses to sell products? If anything they should charge more.

But aside from that, doesn't this also discourage Apple, Google, and others from profiting off of or creating software features? Why even build the API? And if another company forks Android or creates a new mobile operating system they can keep all of their stuff closed until a later point in which they're beating incumbents and then just open up?

Idk I feel like there's already too much additive logic here to make this worthwhile. Good regulation would be much cleaner and ideally subtractive instead of additive.

> BTW these two app stores dwarf anything Nintendo is doing with theirs.

I'm aware and I find this to be irrelevant.
snap sucks. nobody wants this.
Nowadays you can just pass --autoremove to `apt purge <package>` and it will.
eSIMs are not data only, that is dependant on your plan. It is basically just a technology that allows the physical SIM card to run inside a VM on your phone.

All SIMs, even data only ones, have numbers. You might not know what it is, but it has one.

Boeing should sack all their management and promote engineers to any needed management positions. This idea after the last set of issues is ridiculous and it'll be the same non-technical people who think it's magical thinking that keeps aircraft in the sky.
Microsoft was having these ideas since before being a streaming provider was even possible as a business - see for example the windows key.
Y Combinator Compensation Numbers
Does the compensation listed on YC jobs include stock converted to cash?

For example, Retool (https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/retool) claims to be paying $600k to someone with 6 years experience. I find this hard to believe.

How does that rebuke my comments? HN's nitpicking in all its glory, me thinks...

You can support those ideals and not want pandering in your show.

Crazy, I know.

Same for the ChatGPTs post launch (let's not talk about 11_02 :) )

-- and as long as we're asserting andecdotes freely, I work in the field and have a couple years in before ChatGPT -- it most certainly is not a well-kept secret or a secret or true or anything else other than standard post-millenial self-peasantization.

"Outright lie" is kinder toward the average reader via being more succinct, but usually causes explosive reactions because people take a while to come to terms with their ad-hoc knowledge via consuming commentary is fundamentally flawed, if ever.

They may have tried this, but I think they failed pretty badly.
I'm not sure that the actual content would ease up the situation as a "pilot failure" likely to happen in said procedure would end up catastrophic.
As an end-user, I prefer a good package manager. Snap & Flatpak both have their trade-offs. I find both of them not worth my time.
Take a look at David Shapiro's YouTube channel. He has some interesting videos about building thought processes on top of LLMs (like GPT-4).
This looks really cool.

Could you put a polarizer on this and have that filler out the other side of the display, so a smart window is one way visible? That could make smart glasses and headsets much better.

> which would have helped Mozilla compete against Google and slowed down their eventual takeover of the entire internet

Why would one assume this when Chrome took over on non iOS and ipadOS machines?

> Instead they decided to go it alone, making iOS a Safari-only territory, which helped establish Chrome's dominance due to their shared technical foundations and common nonstandard features.

Logically, the fact that the only place Chrome did not dominate is iOS and ipadOS means making those Safari only is the only thing that stopped Chrome’s dominance.
Well sure but then you can virtually forget about humanity's best cheat - collective universal health insurance. There has to be a balance between live and let live and just living off other people
I don't see Apple ever capitulating to opening iMessage unless absolutely forced, which will take a while even if it succeeds.

Almost everyone I know (less than 30 and outside of tech, in the south Florida area to be specific) uses an iPhone, specifically for iMessage. If you don't have an iPhone, people will avoid talking to you over text. Your social standing will also take a hit.

While I personally think it would be cool, since it would basically open the door to buying an Android phone Apple is not going to let it happen voluntarily.
>as even "good upstanding citizens" are still greedy pieces of shit that will screw over their fellow human for another dollar.

I think a more charitable way to look at this is that whatever "good" is being pushed, hasn't really been sold effectively, or its being meted out unfairly or in a way that negates the "good". People are not greedy in a vacuum, they are greedy because they believe that failing to be so puts them at risk of losing resources they need. People in general don't horde toilet paper, but they definitely did when they thought their ability to get more toilet paper later was in danger.
And if they spec that the key just sends Win+Ctrl+Alt+C then what? I don't care about the new key, I care about the fact that it seems likely it will be implemented in an absurd way.

I guess yeah, you can still bind to that key combo and use the key, but you don't get capacity for a "new" binding.
British English idioms are often contractions of MUCH longer phrases.

"Y'alrite?" is not, contrary to what you might assume, short for "Are you alright?"

It's short for "Are you alright if I come in and interrupt you? It's fine if you're not, I just wanted to check before barging in. It's really not too much trouble is it? I'll go away and come back later. Or never. Sorry. Sorry, sorry."
I think this is the case in many (most?) European countries already. Hungary has it worse: you have to confirm your data every year or the sim stops working.

My Italian sim card required an id card in the 00s. But I didn't have one at hand, so it was in the name of my girlfriend at the time, for something like 15 years.
You can be an expert of engineering and perform engineering work without being acknowledged or licensed by some authority. A country can have engineers before they even have a PE org or guild or system, after all.
>What % should they charge then?

How about we go by European credit and debit card interchange fees capped at 0.2%. Credit Card CEOs seem reasonably happy, healthy and well fed. Maybe we'll get some cultural surplus value out of it if Valve is actually forced to make a video game again, Half Life 3 might actually happen, or maybe we'll get a new Portal or Team Fortress out of it.
Until I get to vacation on an orbiting satellite owned by a cryogenically-rotated family of Swiss aristocrats, you can't tell me I'm living in a Sprawl trilogy yet. And plus, RAM sells for way less per MB than Neuromancer led me to believe.

Oh yeah, discovering an alien AI would be nice too.
Close, for cancelling the build on Visual Studio. :)
Programmers don't (can't?) dog food[1] their code because their development machines are Intel Xeon or AMD Threadripper monstrosities with abominable GPUs to match.

Most apparent are the web programmers, most of them assume everyone has 10gbit fiber connections with 16 core CPUs and 128GB of RAM to feed to Chrome. And then they wonder why their shit runs like shit in the real world.

Hehe did the context somehow get completely lost somewhere? We were talking about whether Iceland is an “icy hellscape”. The summer temps and the number of people in warmer places is irrelevant. Nobody argued Iceland isn’t cool or cold relatively speaking. The only question is whether it’s below freezing, otherwise it can’t be icy, right? Reykjavik is not icy most of the time, even in winter. Reykjavik is also warmer in the winter than much of the inland US, and many many other inhabited places that freeze regularly. I was just trying to correct a common misunderstanding about Iceland. Sometimes people make incorrect assumptions based on the name.

I live in the states and forecasted low temps this week are lower than Reykjavik’s average low by more than 10 degrees, and lower than Reykjavik’s actual forecasted temps by 25 degrees (F)...

It would indeed be interesting to run the numbers. I’m guessing the number of people who live in below freezing temps in the middle of winter, places colder than Reykjavik for the coldest month or two of each respective locale, would probably exceed a billion.
I'd like to see it do the sort of journalistic legwork my job involves. This is a moat I don't expect AI to cross soon.
I explained why not, because they elect terrorists to rule them. I'll add they regularly start wars that they then lose. Nobody else gets an endless amounts of do overs. And I think for them that needs to stop. They should get what every other group gets when they do stuff like what they did on Oct 7th. Your leaders get annihilated and you lose your sovereignty.

Contrast with Lebanon where despite everything that have some form of practical government. Sudan where it is an internal civil war. I'll point out there was far more refugees in Sudan than Palestinians. And most of those unlike the Palestinians are blameless. By rights every dime we give to the Palestinians should go to them instead.
> You expect me to believe that no competition is able to take a slice of that?

IMO they don't have competition. Nobody's actually directly attacking them at the specific thing they do.

I really, really wish they did. The current situation makes it hard to get away from them when they release (relatively speaking) dud products like certain MacBook revisions.
Everyone says tailwind is great for larger sites. But the largest sites/apps would typically have design teams who builds a bespoke design framework. So where exactly does tailwind fit?

Your 500 euros DSLR sucks compared to my 1500 euros phone for gaming. Do you carry your DSLR in your pocket every time you leave the house? These is obviously a matter of specialized vs general use.
But is it realistic at all?

Also will I get pilloried if I just make it a big StreamOf thing? ;-)
Good analogy - people that only know how to code using an ide are usually the worse. Those who thrive are those that know and understand things. If 30% of your job can be done by a procedural generator then your work is worthless. Probably because you do stuff you dont understand, and will be freed to focus on more important things - such as luddites or who killed biggie.
They'd probably pay a contractor $60 million to develop it for the military and not actually wind up with anything of use
> as an android user I really do get cut out of group message convos due to not being on imessage

Well, that's the drawback of having an Android I guess, at least in those spaces (I also inhabit one). The evidence of the disjoint relationship between a product space that competes on price and one that competes on quality. /satirical-elitist-shrug-with-smirk

But seriously, didn't Google try at least 10 different ways to roll out their own iMessage competitor and SMS eclipser, and failed every time? This is not all Apple's fault, here.

> Even my parents have issues and frequently try to send me large videos

Yeah, my S.O.'s parents kept trying to send videos from their Androids to our iPhones and they come in as tiny thumbails. I FINALLY got them onto a Whatsapp group text to exchange videos and photos over, although they still miss out on LivePhotos, which is a favorite Apple feature of mine.
They actually have, but they generally refer to the technology by its more technical terms. Instead of saying "generative ai", they'll say "transformer based predictive text". They have a few things (keyboard, camera, photos app, and some others) that are actually using generative AI but they don't refer to it as such.

And as for the folding phone, I think they couldn't build one to their standards. I like the concept but there's a reason they've stayed relatively niche in the market.
As long as there's a fence I'd be willing to try this.
Latency is an issue even inside a transistor itself, something known as propagation delay. When you have a bunch of logic gates chained together the propagation delay increases and the chance for a race condition occurring also increases. The propagation delay of a logic gate is one of the limiting factors of the speed of a circuit.

Transistor gates act as capacitors in a way. This capacitance increases the delay between switching on/off. [1]

To lower this delay, we can shorten the transistor gate. We've hit a wall with how small we can shorten this length, and it is exceedingly difficult to make smaller gates without running into quantum effects.

Higher electron mobility means that the delay inside the gate is reduced, allowing faster circuits.
