Founder of socket here. npm has since unpublished the chunk packages that the 'everything' package depends on (or perhaps made them private), so those packages are no longer being taken into account in the package score.

You're right that a package that depends on literally everything would absolutely have a score of 0 in our system.

Seriously. It's very irritating.
> Substack decided not to remove articles openly advocating Nazi beliefs

They actually did. Look at my other post on this thread that examines the Atlantic's cited examples. The only one that is actually clearly Nazi is suspended for ToS violations. The others are all nothing to do with Nazis, but it's a Tuesday so the left is claiming otherwise to try and censor their opponents.

> It's about authors on Substack who don't want to associate with certain beliefs posted by other authors.

And if they succeeded then it'd be "we don't want to be on the same internet as those other authors" and so on. Those people will never stop trying to shut down people who disagree with them and will certainly lie in order to get that outcome. Never trust censors!

> the critics of Substack's moderation policy aren't trying to make the government do anything

Remember that many governments outside of America ban websites for vague reasons like "hate speech". It's not just about the USA.

> Boycotting is not coercion and is democratic

They didn't want to do a boycott, they wanted their opponents to be denied the right to speech. They might end up trying a boycott now but it's not clear what it means to boycott a service like Substack, because they weren't receiving the material they were objecting to in the first place.
Boeing is basically an extension of .gov
But it got things done without too much BS, which is refreshing in todays world.

We run Python, inside Docker, Inside Kubernetes, inside a fake virtual machine, with libraries that use C extensions and an interpreter.

No need to have a lot of things up and running to get stuff done.
Ooh thanks for that! Showing monochrome only. I wonder if three layers of glass would get you color? And fixed focus (not too surprising) but that answers two questions I had initially.

As they claim this can also do display (presumably to replace the camera element with a projection element) it would be interesting to see what level of opacity they can achieve in a brightly lit environment.
Westworld is an amazing little movie for another reason for me: it worked so well on the tension arc during the whole movie from the first minute to the last it just keeps on cranking it up bit by bit. Those footsteps...
It’s okay to do some allocations - it can be stack replaced, and even if it’s not, the cost is very negligible. The problem is mindless allocation, not allocation itself.
The way I like to think of it is that it's possible to have willpower when I'm feeling strong and only have to make a big decision once - what's really hard is having to use that willpower over and over.

Thus, I've always felt it's better to change your environment than trying to improve your willpower. For example, I got a ton of exercise when I lived in a city when the most convenient thing to do was walk everywhere or take public transportation. When I moved out to the suburbs, I tried to force myself to walk more, but it never really worked. Driving was just by far the easier "default" way of getting places in the 'burbs.

The way I think of it is to try to set things up so you don't have to use willpower in the first place.
Boeing has bad month. There was also loose screws (not max though)
Interesting timeline.

Following the two fatal crashes involving the MCAS system and the 737 Max … The FAA gave Boeing until Dec of 2022 to implement a fix. The fix was to reconfigure the 737 Max with 2 sensors (instead of one) and include an manual shutoff

Guess what happened? Boeing didn’t fix anything.. instead they cried to congress that the fix is too expensive and they cannot get it done.

So what happens is congress includes a provision in the omnibus spending bill to exempt Boeing from having to fix the MCAS system. So today in 2024 .. the 737 Max still only have one sensor although they did retrofit a manual shutoff

https://lynnwoodtimes.com/2022/12/23/boeing-max-221223/

Pretty interesting after millions spent on investigation , congressional hearings, developing engineering a better MCAS system … quietly Boeing just bypasses everything.

Honestly it’s super depressing and makes me question if we are even a functioning democracy (inverted corporate democracy perhaps?)

One notable difference between scientific code and regular software development is that the code scientists write is an implementation of well defined/documented mathematical models, while in a, say, web application, there is no reference paper or research, the code _is_ the reference. That's why best practices are important, not for the person writing a piece of software now, but for the future. If you need to change scientific code, papers and specification make otherwise confusing structure more manageable.

No. Changing your identity is much more powerful and sort of operates in a background process whereas willpower is more of a conscious foreground one and very difficult to sustain long term.

Read the book. It goes into some detail.

I’ve worked with thousands of people personally over the years to help them with supposedly difficult to treat addictions for instance. Willpower is fine to start, but completely fails in the long term. Identity change is the only thing I’ve found that works long term.

Alaskan Airlines is notorious for taking maintenance shortcuts, this is likely not an inherent problem with the airframe but rather this operators SOP.

Alaskan Airline flight 261 is one example.

> Last January UAMPS issued a report that inflation had rapidly raised the prices of key materials like concrete and steel forcing a steep rise in the overall cost of the project. In turn, the expected cost of electricity from the completed project soared into the stratosphere making it uneconomic in terms of selling it to customers. The target price for power from the plant jumped $53 to $89 per megawatt hour.

Metformin is a pretty nasty drug with some serious side effects on healthy people that is not proven to extend lifespan or healthspan in healthy people, and in fact makes you weak when taking it.

Doesn’t matter. Changing via willpower and context cues is quite difficult.

Identity change is the best, most lasting way.
Is that argument wrong? If it isn't, then you've successfully identified capitalism as the problem. I'm all for anti-capitalism, but I don't think it's reasonable to expect that to start with Boeing.

This is not a problem of "pointy haired MBA's", we can either fix this within the current regime by imposing heavy fines on this sort of reckless behavior, or we can tear down the current regime and replace it with communism/fascism/monarchy/whatever. In the system we are currently in, what happened at Boeing looks to be "correct", in the sense that it's what the system incentivizes.

Been there. It's half bad if the "managers" can swallow their ego and let developers lead while only just keeping an eye on any potential troubles.

At many big corporations these "management" hires are just political. To fill in the certain quotas and tick the boxes.

Problems starts if they put their egos first. Then talented staff quit and projects go down the pan.
Great film.

There’s a scene early on where they explain how the guns work. It’s thermal based I think. So if the gun is pointing at something warm like a human body it won’t shoot, meaning you can shoot anyone and it will only fire if they’re not actually a human being.

I was astonished to find this was not a plot point later on.
It’s a great island.

Any kind of law that mentions a company by name should be automatically rejected, unless it is to add more limitations based on past (bad) performance and then only to document the reason the law exists, never to provide exemptions.
Investing doesn't mean you have to contribute to the thing you're investing in. Take investing in gold for example, you don't polish nor do anything else to the metal. You just buy a quantity of it and hope it goes up in value.

The problem with short selling is that you're actually borrowing.

That all said, I'm not saying I disagree with your point either. It is hard to make an ideological argument when this is really more just different shades of grey. Personally I'd say all investments are a form of gambling. Some investments are just riskier than others.

> Word is after he left they locked it up, like a crime scene. I think they were worried his whistleblowing would turn to leaks and I guess they thought his office would have some sort of evidence?

If Boeing did clear it out, they'd be open to charges of doing a coverup. The smart thing to do is lock it up as is.
Mechanical transmission are in the high 90's percent efficient at highway speed, almost no losses.

Diesel Electric transmissions in trains are in the 80's percent efficient range, double conversion from mechanical to electrical back to mechanical has higher losses. Trains make up for this with lower rolling and aero resistance, they need the precise traction control of the electric transmission to prevent wheel slip along with the impracticality of mechanically routing power to the wheels. Semis do not have this issue.

> Instead, carefully curate your identity . This is described well in Atomic Habits. Train yourself to think “I am just not the kind of person who does x.”

Interesting but orthogonal to the article.

The article: "I am the kind of person who has changed my environment such that doing x is inconvenient enough that I can avoid it most of the time without having to use much willpower."

No, I ran 50 miles to middle school, or rather to a middle school. The 2024 JFK Memorial 50 Mile will finish at the Springfield Middle School in Williamsport, Maryland. I presume that it was the same school back then--I don't think Williamsport has the population for two middle schools.

I was 27, about twice the age I was when I finished 8th grade.
I don't know. C has worked perfectly fine for me for various tasks and projects over the years. And I'm not alone so there's that, you and your hyperbole are wrong here. Granted I probably wouldn't choose C if safety is one of the biggest issues and it's not a small project, but the blame C gets for just being an honest language which indeed gives you power and the responsibility that comes with it is usually just laughable. C also gives you simplicity which I find delightful. I guess some big projects can indeed profit on complex features and build systems but for smaller stuff it's so easy to just write a simple C program to do it.

You really should be using a tool correctly and for the correct use cases, otherwise the critique is meaningless at best. The fact that the 100% sensible and nonoffensive parent comment is now "flagged" just because folks don't agree with it is just ridiculous.

Back in 2019, I made a lil microsite covering the 737 MAX groundings. Didn't think I'd have to update it again. https://www.isthe737maxstillgrounded.com/

It's chilling that both Alaska knew of pressurization issues in prior flights in this aircraft, and Boeing was already trying to get the FAA to look past known safety issues in the 737 MAX 7 certification. "Safety is our top priority"? Ha, absolutely not.

From what you've written, I don't see why any of this would require the LLM to "be trained to the point where a subset of the graph represents all the nand gates necessary for a cpu and ram" - you'd just be emulating a CPU, but slower.

Tool usage is better, because the LLM can access the relevant computing/simulation at the highest fidelity and as fast as they can run on a real or virtual computer, rather than emulated poorly in a giant pyramid of matrix multiplications.

Am I missing the point?
Very interesting. Thank you :)
Yes. It's much harder to make a browser engine.

Why? Simply because browsers need to be compatible with literally millions of existing sites. While game engines only need to be compatible with it's own current major release.

If we could drop all the baggage of current web technologies and build a new browser engine supporting new APIs, then it would be easy (comparatively speaking).
I don't think it's worth relitigating MCAS here but your analysis here is very generous to Boeing and harsh to the pilots who where unwitting test pilots in Boeing's mistake.

When I searched for the engine nacelles issue, that appears to only apply to an earlier version (737 NG) of the 737, not the MAX.

Which kinda proves my point - someone saying "I don't want to fly on a 737 MAX" may just get put on another plane that has different issues. I guess if you've completely lost faith in Boeing you can decide not to fly any of their planes, but that's going to make flying at all very difficult. And if you decide to drive instead you'd just be taking a more dangerous mode of transportation.
It's worth noting that this discusses the centos based provisioning and hardware management platform.
