Why do you think the ATC will hear it? You can use a high gain antenna. Also, you can play some really nasty tricks with things that override the ATC, such as TCAS. Or things that are independent of the ATC, like that faulty engine readings sent over ACARS that I mentioned earlier.

There really is no way to do it safe without authentication codes or digital signatures.

The author has no expertise in the field. If your claim is that they're a "scientist", please show the geophysics research they've published. I can't find any, instead they seem extremely dedicated to writing questionable articles on any topic imaginable, from vaccines to Amazonian ecology. A lot of the titles of his articles are phrased as questions:

"Do back-to-back disasters show first climate tipping point is upon us?"

"Did monkeys really sail the oceans on floating rafts of vegetation?"

"Can any idiot publish articles with NewScientist?"

The main problem is you'd have to wait until the end of 2026 to find out it never happened as predicted, but by that time you'll already have forgotten about it. The average attention span isn't that long and like I mentioned most people do not save these articles and blacklist publications with a bad track record. There are thousands of nonsense articles from mainstream news orgs like the BBC as well as pop-science magazines that promised all sorts of nonsense to happen by year x, which unsurprisingly didn't end up happening.

At what point would it be fair to say they're publishing misinformation?
No, this is overblown.

The drones just travel around the ocean scanning for illegal fishing. When they detect it, they determine who owns the vessel and send them a bill for fines. People respond to fines.

Offshoring projects very commonly fail because companies dramatically overestimate the savings and underestimate the cost of communications, company culture, and experience. If you have a workforce which is delivering good results, there’s often a solid benefit to continuing that rather than chasing a mirage.
Fondue can't cause a flood like the Great Molasses Flood because it's not capable of truly fully laminar flows.

Fondue is a colloidal suspension of cheese solids in a mixture of wine and melting agents and it shows complex rheological behavior. Unlike Newtonian fluids, where viscosity remains constant regardless of the applied shear rate, fondue demonstrates non-Newtonian features, especially shear-thinning. As the shear rate increases, its viscosity decreases, a phenomenon attributed to the alignment of colloidal particles in the direction of flow, interfering with the fluid and preventing it from filling every nook and cranny like a flood would.

Fondue's inability to achieve truly laminar flow is rooted in its viscoelastic properties. When subjected to stress, fondue exhibits both viscous and elastic characteristics, a behavior modeled by the Maxwell model in rheology. This model combines a viscous damper and an elastic spring to describe the material's response to applied stress. As fondue is subjected to shear stress, its structure becomes disrupted, leading to a breakdown in its ability to maintain a cohesive flow front. This disruption manifests as a turbulent flow, preventing the formation of a flood-like scenario similar to that caused by molasses.
I'm not getting in an argument about this. You don't understand what you're reading, and you're cherry picking papers based on a poor understanding of data quality. I will say that your first link is the Masks4all (Jeremy Howard) paper, and it is not a reputable scientific publication. It doesn't follow a valid methodology for a literature review, and leaves out/minimizes major RCTs that don't support their pre-determined conclusions.

The second link is not a study, or a meta-review, and contributes nothing. The fourth link is not a scientific paper at all.

The third link is the WHO summary of masking data in mid-2020. It covers the same ground as the Cochrane review (below), but re-weights the data somewhat arbitrarily to achieve the stated conclusions.

The Cochrane review is the gold standard summary of the evidence for public masking, considers all published data, and includes/excludes/weights data based on a rigorous standard for statistical and experimental quality. Please read it.

In a society where these diets buck the norm, I expect some of this effect is just from paying more attention to what one eats. It's a major mechanism behind lots of restrictive diets working for weight loss—paying more attention to food helps all on its own.

I bet there are people out there who eat semi-vegetarian diets basically by accident, who wouldn't think to label themselves semi-vegetarian, and that the beneficial effect is less pronounced among them.

Short-term rental provider Frontdesk lays off entire staff, on verge of shutdown
This is the Fast CGI model, using pre-forking in something like Apache. Apache creates a new process for each incoming connection, but pre-forks them (so they sit idle without a connection), and when those processes fire up, Fast CGI starts up the "cgi" program and just waits for the data. After the request, the process and cgi program remain and linger, ready for the next request.

When I tried to join, there was nothing on the threads.net website except the word "Threads" in front of some spiral particles and a QR code to get the app[0].

More recently it seems they've added a login dialog to the site, but attempting to log in still just immediately prompts you to download the app[1].

Presumably once you've used the app to create and set up an account you can now use it to browse online, but that's not really "fully functional on web" and, relevant for the accusation of data-harvesting, still requires you to download the app.

Or maybe that's cats. Cats reputedly have a higher chance to survive a long drop than a short one because the long one gives them time to catch themselves and maybe slow down.

> The optimal algorithm is not computable

No but it's easily findable. If you have a group of say 10 cache machines, you can set each one to a different eviction algorithm, and then track misses, hits, and eviction rates. You can even use a one-arm bandit algo for the algos if you want to be really thorough.

But the main question would be why? In 99.9% of cases, the cache eviction algorithm is not going to be your bottleneck. So might as well just use LRU and move on to more important problems.

I remember watching a video a while ago where they were talking about how it's better/cheaper/easier to buy a part out of a catalog than custom machine whatever you are needing because chances are really, really high you don't actually need a custom part. IIRC they were talking about bearings but I'd imagine gears would be the same.

The incredible bravery of the Houthis, who have very limited arms and resources is inspiring to me. They want the genocide in Gaza to end. This is what a real humanitarian intervention is.

This is exactly what I'm saying - in case of a civilization collapse the safety of nuclear fuel will be the biggest problem. There is no magical way to cool the fuel without power - it produces a huge amount of heat and the only to avoid explosion is active water cooling.
Sure would be nice if Firefox desktop would join the browsers that support PWAs. We build an app that has been PWA-first, but it is unfortunate that this generally requires users to have a Chrome instance running. Would much rather point people to Firefox, and it seems like it would be to their advantage to give apps a reason to recommend FF, if they built a smoother PWA integration than Chrome.
The biggest objection I and many others had at the time was that writing xhtml forced one to deal with hell that is xml namespaces, which many tools at the time barely supported
Good to hear from one, thanks! My big insight when I first started really getting into ai was “we should unite the two camps now!”, only to find out we’ve basically been doing that since the 90s. So I'm glad the debate survives a bit to this day!

An "AI Breakthrough" on Systematic Generalization in Language?
The actual damage is that it's pretty common (my last team has this happen) for a team to setup a cert, verify it works, and then when they deploy the cert it works some of the time or "works on my machine" and so the failures seem really random and by definition hard to reproduce because you have to restart chrome to reproduce.

Probably the tl;Dr is that validating against a persistent cache like Firefox is fine. Validating against an ephemeral cache with chrome is likely to cause a lot of breaking.
In general I agree with you, but

> Imagine going to show someone a recent photo and something you didn't take pops up instead.

this is not true. The camera app opened from the lock screen just shows recent pictures taken with the camera opened from the lock screen. So if you lock the phone, then start the camera from the lock screen, there is no existing photos there.
I haven't tested an actually fast version of this, but I did hack together two versions that used rings of nodes instead of lists. There are two separate issues, IMHO: Rings - be it in an array or using linked nodes - makes the logic even simpler because you don't need to test for the start/end:

https://gist.github.com/vidarh/b72615c16673cb38630cab5148190...

Implementing it using arrays isn't hard. You have two obvious options:

One is to still use a linked ring. In that case your array just saves you dynamic allocations and allocator overhead (and if in a gc'd language, gc pressure).

The other is to copy to compact the right on eviction. Whether that is a horrible idea or might work will depend a great deal on your performance characteristics and the number of entries in your cache.

Personally I think the "linked ring in an array" approach is a nice middle ground - you're likely to get better (CPU) cache locality than a naive linked list (whether enough to matter really depends on your implementation languages underlying allocator - and the singly linked version has quite low extra overhead (and it can be made smaller if size is a concern - e.g. it doesn't need to be a pointer but can be an array index) vs. just an array.
Hadn't heard of Fabworks until today. Testing out a quote on some parts I was looking at getting from OSH Cut, they're actually much better on pricing _and_ have more capabilities. (!)

Have you used them a lot? Curious what your experience with them is if you're willing to share.
It’s also possible to split your seed phrase into n pieces, requiring m of them to recover it, and give those pieces to third parties. You don’t need to trust any individual or entity, but together they can get your keys if you lose them or die.

Various other approaches exist, too.
You can do similar things in Linux with firejail, but there are a lot of folks who feel uneasy about the safety of firejail.
Do browsers or is this another OpenSSL Easter egg we all have to live with?

I remember that OpenSSL also validates certificate chains with duplicates, despite that obviously breaking the chain property. That’s wasteful but also very annoying because TLS libraries like BearSSL don’t (I guess you could hack it and remember the previous hash and stay fixed space).
Easy to armchair quarterback. But it's quite reasonable for the overall workforce to have some objections against 24x7 recording of everything they say. I'm surprised the Hacker News crowd, often quite pro-privacy and anti tracking, does not understand that.

And then suggesting to revoke the licenses of a crew that at one of the most stressful moments in their career, right after a major incident, forgets to pull a circuit breaker is ridiculous. Luckily that is not how things in the aviation industry are done.
"Also, consider that it would've been definitely possible to write an OS with a mechanism for module loading compatible with Linux drivers."

Sure, you can do that and it will work exactly until the next change in the driver interface, which is not very long.

So you end up in maintenance hell and will still constantly be behind the curve, because Linux gets all the updates first. You will be less secure too, because you'll get the security patches later.

That being said, someone in a similar thread from a few days ago said one of the BSDs does that. Maybe it's not that bad.
Compared to a Linux distro, would an end user have much better security out-of-the box, or would one need to be tech-savvy enough for that?

This interests me as a former neurosurgical anesthesiologist (38 years; retired in 2015).

This isn't how the mathematics of odds works, as the GP correctly pointed out. An event which is 20:1 on is not 20 times more likely than certainty.

Going from 1:4 to 1:2 means that the event has become twice as likely. But going from 2:1 to 4:1 does not: it means that the complementary event has become half as likely.

Based on this, we can't do math with odds treating them identically to ratios.

If you do the math correctly, the two types of information measure are basically the same thing.
Ideal would be an embedded gif (or even interactive widget) of a 3D globe rotating, with the lines drawn on it, but obviously that's a lot more work.
A radical idea would be making the Northeast South America the Western world distribution center via the Cape -- a great circle route from Indonesia. Export to the rest of the West from there, while letting the ships go quickly back-and-forth. A bold and probably a little more expensive solution in the beginning, but far safer. That would diminish the Strategic value of the Red Sea, as far as the world commerce goes.

Hypothetical scenario:

You join and are granted 400000 options at $10 strike and stock is worth $10

2 years in and the stock price is now $110

You think the company is terribly run and the stock with crash at this point. However if you quit, you lose the 200000 unvested options worth $2M on paper

Even if the stock crashes to $20 they are worth $200k

Hard to find a better paying job in that situation until the options are fully vested

For running AI models etc the 4070ti is the best value of the bunch by far. Memory size and bandwidth are the most important things in that order (which makes the 4050, er, 4060ti 16GB a weak card)

The "actually new" thing here is that you won't have to rewire your kitchen for 240 as you would with most induction stoves. In the SF Bay Area, the electrical work could cost you $15K. Also, with tax credits and state / local incentives, the actual price will be much less than $5500. I've gone from a gas furnace and hot water heater to a heat pump and electric hot water, and the only remaining gas appliance I have is my stove. I'm very interested in this product, although the similar appliance from Channing Street Copper is more appealing to me as it has an oven as well.

Arguably "crazy expensive" software that minimizes crazy expensive hardware is something work considering. Firms pay 10s of times more for things like DataDog than they do for a KDB+ license.

As a user of Threads and X (formerly known as Twitter). Threads is so dog slow, even compared to Instagram. Slow to respond to requests for just about everything (several seconds), even slower at showing an up to date feed (10s of seconds). Really think it's what's holding back adoption because Twitter can show up to date personalized posts in under a second.

I love all the quality of life features Threads is adding, but it severely lags FB/Instagram/Twitter in showing up to date information quickly.
