A brief search of who Boeing donates to is a bit depressing.

I know that they have parted ways now, but Haley has managed to sit on both sides of negotiations between government and Boeing.
> This is flatly wrong.

Look up dutch roll, the active yaw damper that suppresses it, and the FAA requirement that all of them have a yaw damper installed.

Besides, the MAX is not unstable. All it was supposed to do was just nudge the nose down a bit to match the profile of the previous 737 jets.
> Most ADHD sufferers do not experience apathy but instead intense anxiety as their executive function is at odds with their goals.

Can confirm. This is an extremely good way of putting it.
Are you sure it wasn't The Caves of Steel?
Since I haven't seen any other responses actually say this:

Git logically stores file contents as blobs in essentially a key-value store. However, the physical storage writes many objects into a single "packfile", and for each object it uses heuristics to look for "likely similar" object candidates already in the packfile, computes deltas based on them, choosing the smallest possible delta or falling back to storing the object as-is if it can't find a good candidate.
Not really. I’ve been around music tech before and after that point. I would say the explosion was cheaper and more accessible music making equipment whether that was on a computer, cheaper hardware or the secondhand market.
As the article notes, the Canadian government has strong penalties for "misinformation" and even expressly true information likely to cause social unrest. So why would they want someone likely to at some point turn their desire to speak truth to power in the direction of some issue the Canadian government wants her to shut up about.

It's not incompetence or Kafkaesque, it's at some level a real concern to them.

As someone who also lives in a Commonwealth country, it's not surprising they ended up at this point.
I think this is accurate, a cynical comment mentioned the two wars, but more practically, those wars and pandemics killed a lot of people, ending design trends before they could take hold. people from all walks of life as both civilians and military patriots and conscripts, from so many countries across Europe all at once

cities that werent firebombed were on somebody’s list to firebomb. Vienna could have met the same fate as Dresden, Dresden could have the charm of a Vienna or Paris. when you put it in perspective there are plenty more trends that are just lost through that dark age.

there are a lot of things from the 1890s to 1910s that I think would be appreciated today if people knew of them.
yeah nobody's suggesting you to switch all your company's computers to a small browser project nobody's ever heard of.

maybe the point of publishing the work on a new browser like this is to get the word out, get folks to fool around with it and explore the changes, and hopefully perhaps assemble a small community capable of seeing through a vision of making a faster chromium, rather than getting folks blindly using it as their daily browser straight away?

if the project does take off, by the time it is actually good to be used as a daily driver it will be void of any furry art, trust me.

the beauty of open source is that if the original developer stops developing or goes on holiday for a year you can pick up the torch. mature projects are eventually smooth-sailing and can be used out of the box, but any project goes through many years of not being so pleasant to use (most of the time, the reason's very simple: nobody's getting paid to work on it, so be grateful you have the software in the first place!)
Highways require significant ongoing maintenance - I wouldn’t be surprised to find that the cost of maintenance over the lifetime of the road exceeds the cost to build it in the first place. Particularly if the country in question relies heavily on road freight.
The 8-bit byte didn't become a standard until the IBM System/360 was released with it in 1964.
My great grandparents fled Mussolini's Italy, despite the trains running on time. And I daresay, many if not all of our environmental problems are due to the bold and unconstrained development of technology.
Douglas Hofstadter did a one camera setup of this to produce some pretty cool images. He used it for an extended analogy in his book “Gödel, Escher, Bach.” Nice to see him as the first quote on this page.
The reason why we assume the same rules is because 1) we haven't observed anything that implies that they changed, and 2) if we assume that they did change, then any attempt to figure out what really happened is moot anyway.

From a religious perspective, there's a take in e.g. some mainstream Islamic madhabs that time is an illusion that is caused by God literally recreating the entire universe moment after moment. He just happens to do so mostly in a way that is consistent with stable laws of nature, but ultimately it happens that way because God wills it to happen that way and for no other reason - there are no actual laws. If you adopt this viewpoint, then for all you know, the universe can be literally one second old, and all your memories of past events are just pre-created. That is unfalsifiable and uninteresting; the assumption that there are stable laws that hold, to the contrary, is interesting because it allows us to make interesting conclusions that also turn out to be practically useful in some cases.
I'm not sure what this comment has to do with my previous one. It sounds like you have a bone to pick. However, I don't disagree with what may be a generous read of your point, which I gather is that right-sizing collectivist aspects to the general human capacity to maintain effective community, vis a vis population size, is the most effective way to house a ton of people without leading to dystopian social alienation on a wide scale (and all the horrors that come with it).

Re: built using debt: I also think there needs to be a social appetite for quashing greed in the process of delivering a vital social need. This is where the Security Council Compadres (including US) all fail.
I'm not sure if I agree or not, but my thinking were that it wouldn't reach great safety by upgrades until long after it became too expensive for Boeing and would instead be replaced with a new model.
That implies that Canada would never deport/extradite somebody for spreading "misinformation". I'm 100% sure they would.
Amazing library! Super simple and well maintained
Key-value cache in the attention layers. There was a paper a little while back about how maintaining the first N tokens across an extended context helped an LLM keep sane for longer, and it turns out you can replicate it with the right CLI arguments to llama.cpp.
I find it fascinating that "STEM people" think all problems are best solved with logic and rhetoric instead of intuition and anecdotal evidence. While in real life many things simply cannot be measured and we must act on hunches or "feelings" and many, many people are very successful in navigating the world without any education in the (powerful, but very narrow) tools of formal logic, rhetoric and axiomatic thinking. That is precisely the reason humanities have value: it is because they foster other ways of approaching the world. It is not about truth in the absolute ways that make STEM so appealing (and very narrow). It is more about fluid truth of finding patterns in the total of human experience. These truths can likewise be harnessed and formalised into institutions and systems that work on shared belief systems that are not necessarily logical, but do work nonetheless.
Its basic selection. You need a wide pool of ideas to get the best ideas.
Many parts of computer science are literally nothing but pure wrangling of thought with logic. Fighting bias systematically is a major part of the trade.

Computer Science is the worst named discipline. Many times when reading code it's like a window into someone else's mind, or a direct window into your own confused mess of a mind from the past.

Problem is, it's really really complicated, and no matter how good you get, or how much practice you put in, it still feels like we humans are trying to fly by flapping our arms.
IIRC the movie largely shows the park as a visitor might see it, the television series shows it as an android or employee would see it and toys with viewers who may have seen the movie a little though there is quite a bit of overlap between the two in point of view, with technology malfunctions/adaptations playing major role in both, though given the runtime of the television series is much longer, it can play with a lot of different ideas about technology and identity.
There are no better sources, that is literally the official legal text of their pledge.

“asserted, helped others assert or had a financial stake in any assertion of

(i) any patent or other intellectual property right [highlighted for emphasis] against Tesla

(ii) any patent right against a third party for its use of technologies relating to electric vehicles or related equipment”

Condition 1 states you can not assert any intellectual property right against Tesla. Intellectual property rights include patents, copyrights (protects against rip-off products), trademarks (protects against counterfeits), and trade secrets (protects against insider stealing).

This is explicit and deliberate as condition 2 states only patent rights are protected for others.

Tesla then goes on to reiterate that it explicitly and deliberately protects its own copyright and trademark:

“challenged, helped others challenge, or had a financial stake in any challenge to any Tesla patent; or marketed or sold any knock-off product (e.g., a product created by imitating or copying the design or appearance of a Tesla product or which suggests an association with or endorsement by Tesla)“

They literally need that additional “I’m about to screw you” clarification clause to make double-sure that if you try to fight the terms in the future as unconscionable they can point to how they made double explicitly sure that you realize the rights Tesla is extending you are explicitly a tiny fraction of what Tesla is demanding from you.

Those terms are so unfair it is ridiculous and it is insulting that Tesla dares to claim it, in any way, represents a good faith patent and openness pledge. I can find a more honest promise from a used car salesperson.
Typhoons aren't a daily thing.

The thing with dieting is that you have to maintain some sort of diet to maintain the weight loss. And that means unless you maintain a diet which requires minimal willpower, so that you're no longer "suffering", you're required to suffer almost every day for the rest of your life.

I think many people are actually good at delaying gratification: suffer unbearably for a few minutes, intensely for a few days, or mildly for a few months. But everyone who suffers long-term eventually burns out, and people who are forced to suffer long-term past burnout (e.g. forced to work intensely to survive, or experiencing chronic unbearable pain) experience so much stress it changes them physically.

Furthermore, food addiction is unique because, unlike drugs, you can't "quit" food entirely. I imagine it becomes easier to avoid smoking or heroin if you haven't done so for years (though maybe I'm wrong on this point), but food is constant, so unless you form "healthy habits" (AKA eat food which both satiates you and maintains your weight) the suffering never goes away. I'm fortunate to not have weight issues myself, but as a long-distance runner, I know hunger, and it's not something you can live your entire life with. I also know that it's not always as easy as "have a cheat day every once in a while", because if you're really lacking nutrients, you'll feel hungry no matter how much you eat, that hunger only goes away after time (and presumably for some people with serious metabolic issues, it never goes away).

The good news with weight-loss is that we've done so much research, we have a lot of tools and techniques so that even people with metabolic issues can be satiated. Not even pills (which are probably only required for a minority which truly have metabolic issues), many people can probably maintain long-term weight loss with diet alone. The key is, these people maintain the weight by sticking to a diet which isn't suffering to them, like one with whole foods (which are known to be more satiating). Even then, you're maintaining constant willpower by not choosing the less-satiating but addictive processed foods, but it's not a willpower which makes you "suffer".

Has it extended your life?
Religion is basically faith + ritual. If you have faith in the scientific method, and you have some rituals that are meant to reinforce that faith either in individuals or in collectives (say, peer review), I don't see why that couldn't be packaged as religion if desired. It's just... why?
That applies especially here:

“Preposterous, my vast intellect can easily overcome anything!”
Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss in 1992 was I think the first PC game I really obsessed about. From the first-person 3D (well, 3D environment, 2D sprites) combat, the runes and repairing items, it was an early "immersive" game. I took copious notes as well as buying any games magazine that had gameplay tips. Its sequel, Ultima Underworld 2 (1993), never really captured me in the same way.

Apparently a sequel to both was released in 2018 but was considered, charitably, "unfinished": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underworld_Ascendant -- What an ignominious ending to a well-loved series.
:) can I please get an explanation why it's obvious to you that there is not correlation between singing and dancing ability? I'm genuinely curious
EDIT: I can't dance nor sing for shit so I guess I'm a living example of falling victim of some sort of logical fallacy.
Yes, good point: disgust can really help. I never figured that one out so thank you for mentioning it, it explains some of my revulsion against particular kinds of behavior.
I suspect companies such as Xerox are never very good at commercializing new techs on new hardwares.
> The point I was making was that citing a high selling price as a downside seems implausible

The OP doesn't cite a high selling price for the generated electricity, they are citing the high cost of materials to build the plant.
I enjoyed the article. Even though I've heard most of it before, I'm the kind of person that really needs reminding of the core message. Somehow it's so easy to fall back into the "willpower is the trick" mindset. Perhaps because it's reinforced so heavily in popular culture, as the article mentions.

The article does however, in my opinion, commit a crime in bringing up the often misrepresented marshmellow experiment as some kind of fundament of psychology. The one where a child is promised a second marshmellow if they can resist eating the first one placed in front of them for a 15 minutes.

Children make do with the mental faculties and model of the world available to them. They live in a world shrouded in mystery in which adults regularly break promises to them for reasons they can't comprehend. Once the adult telling them what to do has left the room, I don't blame the kids for feeling an urge to take a bird in the hand over two in the bush. That's a perfectly good default instinct to have before you've acquired absolute trust towards friendly strangers in university buildings.

Imagine a real-world analogy to this kind of experiment. Adults choosing to go for the double reward would likely be labeled naive, bad with money, or gamblers. Extrapolating to the general population is ridiculous. Mischel's research wasn't about that at all.

From the article:
In Mischel’s marshmallow experiment, only a quarter of the subjects were able to resist eating the marshmallow for fifteen minutes. This implies that a large majority of us lack the self-control required to succeed in life.

Genocide the poor masses to make room for the rich ultraconsumers? I'll grant that's a bold plan... if a touch supervillain. But where does one recruit minions in this fantasy?

try natural fruit juice (or sugar syrup) mixed with carbonated water or even plain water. dilute it to reduce the amount of sugar as much as possible (fruit juice naturally also contains sugar).

while i was never a big soda drinker, one summer i was drinking a lot of it because it was hot and the soda was refreshing, until i realized that the refreshment came from the carbonation, and i could have plain carbonated water to the same effect.

i still liked a sugar soda once in a while, but i avoided developing a habit.

later while i was in austria, i discovered that they had fruit-sodas with half the sugar content compared to regular soda (only 4% instead of the usual 8%)

after getting used to that the regular sodas suddenly tasted way to sweet and now i can't even look at that stuff anymore.
Yeah, no. You'll be bought in 95% of cases if you threaten a monopolistic position. That's why I'm really fond of signal btw.
The Edison video is amazing
Doesn't need to be one big continuous walkway.
I guess that depends on what you believe a "functioning democracy" because yes we are are "functioning democracy", the fact that the outcome is not what you desire do not mean it is non-functional.

Keeping in mind that a democracy was never the goal, and being a democracy is actually the root of the problem. Looking to the federal government for solutions to all of these problems is the the problem itself.

People expecting the government to fix everything is the problem....

Maybe instead of acting "are we a functioning democracy", the better question is "how can we solve these problems with out government..."
Airliners also have to work at low speed in thick air, and high speed in thin air. Swept wings, for example, perform poorly at lower speeds.

An airliner has to perform well at both, which is why wings are swept, yet have flaps and slats to modify their aerodynamic profile. Swept wings have other problems, like dutch roll.

Airliners also become uncontrollable above a certain speed, which was a contributing factor to the EA crash (the crew ignored the overspeed warning).
Is it possible to use delayed evaluation instead of explicit phases? Like the assembler from this article:

https://ahefner.livejournal.com/20528.html
Aspects of executive function like attention/focus, impulse control, etc do seem to be consumable resources. Most of the "tricks" are about changing the problem so it depends on different resources instead. But there is often a startup cost of that reframing which can be easier said than done.
People run conferences through openreview. You sign up as an organizer, people submit papers, and reviewers review them. Then a final decision is made about acceptance.

As a non-expert, I think that openreview is basically useless for you. The signal to noise ratio is terrible. It's just like arxiv.

Just because a paper got good reviews, doesn't make it a good paper. And just because it got bad reviews, doesn't mean it's a bad paper. Conference reviews are pretty random. A lot of good work is rejected and a mountain of trash is accepted.

At the moment we're massively short on competent reviewers, so the level of commentary of openreview is.. "oh look, my racist uncle commented on cnn.com again"-level abysmal.
Over a hundred years ago, and if built today it would still be impressive. Technological progress feels very fast and very slow at the same time.
Airplanes are designed by people, and are enormously complex. No system involving humans will be free of mistakes.
Many music conferences for new music products (including both software and hardware) are open for those bootstrapping a hardware business. You can set up a booth and demo your product to create interest for when the hardware is released and to take pre-orders or just to get ideas and feedback for features/design. Might even connect with a larger company that wants to adopt your product. Some of the conferences may offer some sessions on bootstrapping a business. Some of the larger ones are Superbooth, NAMM, Musikmesse, and AES, but there are lots of smaller ones also such as SynthPlex and Ableton Loop. Knobcon might be a good one. Not sure if MoogFest still exists since Moog was bought by a mass-market conglomerate.
Capitalism != free market. You think of liberalism here.

Capitalism is about private ownership of the means of production, no? Maybe the definition changed in the US?
Really? I live in Japan, last month I had to fill my taxes, and I found the process to be really convoluted and annoying compared to my home country (Spain). Likewise, banks feel really obsolete and inefficient here.

I shudder to imagine how bad the American system is to make Japan look good :/
If, like in the design seen here, the slide movement and propulsion is decoupled, and motors add impulse to the platforms at constant intervals, doesn't sound like that would be a problem. These wood platforms must have weighed tons by the way.
I don't know how you could come up to any other conclusion is you watch the news and listen to what Apple says....
I wouldn’t personally support those companies, and I think most others wouldn’t either. But I think if a company was made of women who only want to hire women, that’s okay.

Some laws are meant to bring fairness at a time of egregious unfairness. But don’t need to be laws forever. That doesn’t mean the problem will inevitably return without enforcement.
Not a Java developer, but why not use an existing Java library for this? Don't know if they're using C or something else behind the scenes, but a quick Google search brings up a few.
Have you published your testing methodologies?
I think OP is more concerned about the fact that it's then crawling and presumably indexing what is meant to be a completely private site. That's different to "merely" reading the emails.
Yup. That's a good indicator of disability. My son is 3 SD between his VCI and his PSI. I've seen a lot of gifted kids with this kind of span. I received the same explanation when I was younger given that my scores were all over the place on the WAIS and Ravens. I've seen kids with FSIQ of 140 and a PSI in the high 80s. You should be able to take your VCI and PRI and get a composite score called your GAI, which correlates stronger with G than FSIQ when there's disability. IQ is measuring something that correlates with life outcomes. It is called G. It is not necessarily intelligence, nor does it indicate that it is a causative agent for life outcomes, only that there is a strong correlation. The old ASVABs and SATs used to correlate strongly with 'G' as well. VCI and PRI are the back of the brain, and WMI and PSI are the very front. It is the front of the brain that makes us human. It is why ADHD and other frontal brain disorders are in reality drastically life altering. People don't realize just how bad of a disability ADHD is.

So, as bad as any other social media, yet with access to as much or more information. At least it is better than videos on Facebook or Reddit.
I second to this. There's often a huge difference between the languages and tools we'd love to be using, and those that we are allowed / forced to use on the workplace.

I for instance just moved to a company where the data stack is basically OracleSQL and R. And I dislike both. But as _Wintermute pointed out, a whole company / department won't change their entire tech stack just to please one person.
Ah, because while systemd is divisive, couldn't it be _more_ divisive?
My dad's uncle is currently 93, being born in August 1930. When he was 6 and 3/4 years old, he saw the Hindenburg fly over his home in New Brunswick, Canada the day before it caught fire in New Jersey on May 6, 1937.
Wow, this takes me back.
