Even if that is the case, it shouldnt been an issue. The DC10 problem was due to insufficient safety mechanism that allowed for crew to unknowingly close the door without engaging the safety lock.

It's been a pleasure to work at Ableton and to be at Loop. Gerhard as a co-founder always had an open ear, and the company deeply cared about its employees. And Robert provided valuable guidance from an artistic perspective.

I think the way Ableton works is responsible for a good part of Live's success: Treat people with respect, as something valuable and unique, and they will create an awesome product. There's a lot of attention to detail, a lot of dedication towards the artists that use Live every day. I mean, in the end, Live should not only enable very different people to create their own unique sound and music, but also work reliably, on stage, in real time, on a desktop OS. There isn't much talk about that, but DAWs are pretty complex, tightly coupled pieces of software, due to those requirements. There's a lot of unsung heroes.

Anyway, I'm grateful for all the lovely people I met at Ableton, for what I learnt, on a technical and social level, and the trust that was put into me, by giving me quite a free hand over a few subsystems of the software.
Funny thing is, they're the biggest (well aside from Bombardier that were forced into a fire sale and are a shadow of themselves now) loser of the whole story. Airbus got a brand new and very good design for practically free because Boeing were stupid and short-sighted.

In software I have found getting the exact details and parameters very useful even if I don't intend to use them. Because when I try to do the same thing my own way and fail, then I can reference the original ones and gradually make my own version more and more similar to that, and see when it starts working. Or make their version more and more similar to mine and see when it breaks. This allows quickly easily identifying the critical difference.
Back in the VCD/SVCD/DVD/PS1/PS2 days, piracy was absolutely heavily interwoven with organised criminal gangs. I couldn’t comment on the current state, but I’d be surprised if there was enough money in media piracy for organised crime to even glance at it, given the vast and easy profits now available in narcotics and fraud.

“HK silvers” were industrially pressed and printed CDs and DVDS you could buy in any market street in SE Asia. Later they started flooding into Europe. For a few years you’d often see illegal DVD sellers outside supermarkets in the UK with all their warez spread out across the pavement for sale.

There was even a local enterprising porn DVD seller in our local area that went around all the local pubs flogging pirated porn DVDs to the inebriated chaps just before closing time. Illegally pressed pirate disks that he purchased from another criminal who mass illegally imported them for resale. These weren’t disks he burnt off with his home PC.

Many of the large FTP sites when I was involved in the piracy community 20 or so years ago certainly seemed to have nefarious links as well if you dared to look or think (so you generally didn’t). Sure, some were just illicitly set up on fast college/university networks by enterprising students, but there were certainly many running around that time that were funded by organised crime.

*edit - I mention above I doubt organised crime is interested in media piracy now, but on reflection I suddenly realised how I’m probably quite wrong on this. There are plenty of illegal IPTV services (re streamed PPV, commercial channels, streaming providers) being illegally sold through the same people & channels as narcotics.
In a pair programming setup what the pair does when collaboration isn’t needed but just pure coding? Do they separate and code in parallel or how does it go?
I wrote a "ball in a box" program in basic <mumble> years ago, the ball poked into a block of memory and bounced around and was drawn on the screen. I was very pleased with myself. Occasionally the ball would escape the box and proceed to travel through the address-space, eventually poking into the memory where the OS lived, locking the machine. I bet go can't do that, however "unsafe" it claims to be.
Not as far as I know. Much more problematic was the fact that replication is very hard to publish. That's because either you more or less confirm previous findings and therefore contribute little to the scientific record (or so reviewers seem to think), or your findings counter the original results and now it's on you to explain the discrepancy. Even if you satisfy the reviewers that you're right, they may not consider your result of sufficient caliber to accept for publication in this particular venue [1].

wow thanks for submitting this and putting these links together. is there a better way to get up to speed on this than going through the papers in order and trying to replicate (in simulators) one at a time? Best way I can think of to try it is with Unity + Python, but there's a lot of rabbit hole risk there.

I wonder if anything can make Boeing start in a 737 replacement. Why is it we kept getting wide body after wide body but haven’t had innovation in the narrow body airliners that carry most of the traffic and are responsible for most of the social and environmental impact of aviation?

I rode in an an Embraer E-Jet, not even an E2, and it felt like riding in Buck Rodger’s spacecraft compared to the 737. Like a Japanese car compared to an American car in the 1970s, if felt bigger inside even though it is a smaller plane. Airlines badly don’t want you to know that a better flight experience is possible because customers might start demanding it.
I don't understand how normal people having access to AI models helps you when big businesses are using them in unethical ways.

Lets say for example I have access to exactly the models Facebook is using to target my elderly relatives with right-wing radicalising propaganda. How does that help me?

This assumption that it helps somehow sounds like you've internalised some of the arguments people make about gun control and just assume those same points work in this case as well.
> took major risks to move the state of air travel forward (747 etc.)

That's a very bad example. Boeing failed with the 2707 supersonic transporter because federal funding was cut, and assuming that they'll be left behind by the obvious future of supersonic passenger transportation with the Concorde and the Tu-144, decided to make a plane filling other niches that were going to be left. Like cargo, which wasn't going to need the speed, but needed capacity. The 747 was a dual use cargo and passenger design.
Seems like the use-cases are kind of different from the two.

Pikchr seems to be made specifically for A) ease of editing and B) compile to graphs after being embedded in markdown code fences

svgbob I guess would work fine for B, but seems like a hassle to use it for A, but then I've never done ASCII art manually, maybe that's why it seems cumbersome to me?

If you come across this graph and want to edit it, how would you approach it? Because I'm guessing you're not manually moving characters around? Seems like a big hassle if so, even if I'm a daily user of vim which could help a lot.

I can only assume that this is going to lead to a ton of noise and anger with very little change, unfortunately.

Boeing will investigate, regulators will rattle sabers, and the public will be very loud about this for a week until the next news cycle rolls around.

We prioritize convenience above all else. The easy answer here is people could just not fly if we're actually concerned with Boeing or the industry in general.

We don't have to fly, but it is convenient so we'd rather make a lot of noise about the headline without making any meaningful change. It sounds nice to expect the FAA or Boeing or whoever else to fix this, why do we so often skip the actual power we have by simply not spending our money there?
There will come a time when everyone will face the panopticon though. It’ll be unavoidable, like forever chemicals. I suppose that will be when the machines take over!!

Aircraft are not minivans. Whether a ship, large truck, aircraft, power plant, datacenter, or new house, its is normal for complex systems to suffer more faults when brand new. This was a dramatic and unacceptable fault, but the idea that brand new planes sould have fewer faults than those a few years older doesnt mesh with the reality of such complex and dynamic products.

There are several levels here
You are talking nonsense. There are no 'Houthi bases' to attack because it's a guerilla force. If the US could destroy Houthi rebels it would have done it already. You think the US somehow 'allowed' the Houthis to totally block commercial route trough the Red Sea instead of the actual reality that the US Navy and the allies were simply unable to prevent Houthis from doing it? Seems you are unaware that the Yemeni civil war has been going on for years now and the US Navy has been actively involved in it from the very beginning doing naval blockade of the Yemeni coast.
Weeelll, it's a duopoly, and consumers rarely get details about the aircraft prior to booking their tickets. So we have at best an indirect say in what planes get acquired and used by the airline.

Booking sites like Kayak let you filter flights by aircraft model, but it's a pretty rare feature from what I've seen.

Thanks for this! I'm thinking part of decentralizing and making the web more portable, is decoupling discussion from blogs/content itself? Producers can host their blogs anywhere and trigger discussion elsewhere (HN, Reddit, X, Mastodon...).

> The biggest value is trying to get more interested eyes on it, with as little friction as possible.

That's tough to guarantee. We all have access to platforms that can get many eyes on the content (HN, Reddit, X, Mastodon...), though whether or not we blog/produce content that's interesting to many eyes is a different story.

If the content is fairly niche, there's usally a subreddit where one can submit their posts and generate some discussion.

Because it's interesting. If "X" is 1000 lines of code and has cost $20k in bounties, and "Y" is 1 000 000 lines of code and has also cost $20k in bounties, it's interesting to see that feature X has relatively more high profile bugs when it probably does much less.
I was on the both sides of the spectrum: from everythig custom-built to everything is a third-party dependency.

I guess you managed to find the balance where it works.

Because on the one side it often falls into "oh, we built a PDF writer, and a phone routing system, and a generalised build system from scratch, and now we have no one who knows how these work, how to upgrade them, or replace them". On the other side is "we've been running this PHP 4 project forever because the cost of upgrading every third-party library used across all the breaking changes is at least a three-year project, so we're better off not touching it" :)
The main difference is that in Germany it is not possible to give up moral rights and therefore you cannot truly dedicate something to the public. Some rights always stay with the creator in contrast to public domain, which gives away all rights.

My anecdata: I have worked at four different companies over fifteen years that all had pairing as a regular practice. Those teams had fewer defects, higher "social trust", zero silo areas, no cowboys, and rapidly trained Jr engineers into Sr engineers. They were much more aggressive at paying down technical debt.

I would estimate that pairing at least half of every day can produce Sr engineers 3x faster than just giving a new hire tickets and doing code review on a PR.

Also on a team with strong pairing culture, people often feel safe to "go home" in ways that I don't see in regular teams. Knowing that anyone on the team can handle any ticket you can feels quite liberating.

Obviously most engineers hate it though. It's less comfortable. Everyone I've seen who gets good at pairing comments that they are working a lot harder and getting a lot more done than solo. This is hard if you like to spend most of the day puttering around.

It's also not as great for deep thinking, so in teams with regular pairing culture it's a good idea to have forced solo time without assigned work just to make sure everyone gets that time to read, think, and process.

Of the four teams, one of them definitely was slower pairing, because they actually used mob pairing with 6 people on a zoom call and only the Sr guy typed. That was extremely ineffective but they didn't want to change because the other 5 loved just playing video games all day on a call. That team also was in meetings 6 hours a day, so they only paired like 90 minutes most days. That team had a lot of issues.

In my experience if you build a healthy pairing culture, it's the most effective way to build a highly trained stable team.

I think its fair to argue you dont have a very sensible perspective here. We tried the approach you proposed in the past and it didnt work.
As soon as one country implements such tech, all the powerful countries would do the same. It’s not really that far away from the tech we have already, just simpler, smaller and super dispensable and don’t get carried around in our pockets all day long (smartphones).

Attesting documents is an old and important social technology.

Here in the UK, the police have a long tradition of using pocket notebooks to record their observations and activities. It is a professional duty to make a contemporaneous note of anything significant that happens during a shift - attending a crime scene, observing a suspect, taking a statement from a witness. Each notebook has a unique serial number, which is recorded by the officer's supervisor when it is issued to them. Each page of the notebook is numbered sequentially. Each entry in that notebook must be closed with a line, the time and date and the officer's signature.

When a police officer gives evidence in court, the defence will ask to see their pocket notebook as a matter of course. If the evidence they give isn't corroborated by their pocket notebook, a jury or magistrate is entitled to draw their own conclusions about the veracity of the testimony. If an entry is obliterated or a page has been torn out, if the entries are out-of-sequence or don't match with the dispatch logs from the day in question, that's obviously a cause for significant scepticism and may constitute an act of professional misconduct.

A notebook with numbered pages isn't a particularly clever technical innovation, but the practice surrounding it creates a great deal of value. It doesn't infallibly prove that an officer is telling the truth, but it creates a lot of hurdles and pitfalls for a dishonest officer. Likewise, in-camera signing of images doesn't prove that an image is an accurate reflection of reality, but it does make life more difficult for dishonest photojournalists or insurance assessors or forensic investigators. It gives few firm answers, but it does allow us to ask useful questions. If you're presenting an image as evidence, is it signed? Do the timestamp and geotag fit with your testimony regarding the circumstances in which the image was taken? If not, why?
Even with dubious economics, deep sea mining could make sense for China for political reasons.

Securing supplies of key industrial commodities under de facto Chinese sovereignty may be worth the cost of whatever subsidies are required to encourage entrepreneurs & investors.
