Good question. That’s exactly the point. This isn’t obvious and the question needs to be answered before changing airline regulations.
Which OS? I haven't seen it on Linux or Mac OS High Sierra

perhaps the permission system is becoming more fine grained on your system

mmm, that makes some sense. Aligning the value chain better has got to happen. I like your insight that maybe that's just impossible if the seller has an LLM to train.

> tool for telling stories

Yes, i.e. I am thinking of a story that would make a nice children's book, with some keywords (forest, cave, fire, marshmallows, squirrel, etc.) It would be GREAT if I can get some AI machine (currently using Midjourney) to describe a scene, to find an image that would 'improve' the story.

I understand that others above mention "the law", but until the makers of laws react (globally) to prevent from this sh*t happening, we have to use basic human decency.

Also, we don't need to make movies for people who don't want movies to be made. And yes that is a thin line (i.e. we MUST make movies about the holocaust so we never forget - and not listen to people who want this avoided). But the tragedy of a family is a whole different game (and it requires a human with a soul to tell them apart - apparently).
I don't work at a mechanics shop.

Costco prior to probably 15 years ago used to just throw wheels on and hit them with air guns without a torque wrench in sight.

Mechanics shops snapping wheel studs was a common problem for years.
A decent mechanic would know to never use a high torque impact gun on something with decently low torque threshold, as I said in my OP about experience. But that shows you how many years and millions of cars were/are on the road without caring about exact torque.

The reason Costco does this, and does it twice, is to make sure the lig nuts at tight on the first place... So you don't leave with one loose. The fact that they use a torque wrench is just because they got tired of replacing wheels studs.
Murdoch has possibly done more damage to the UK than any other human being alive.
The ruling was 50 years old, not 250. Sure, the general process can change. But, it should be hard to remove freedoms that already exist, and the fact that they were able to change a 50 year old ruling on a whim is bad.
True but the tools and approach is all there. Just have to community build and develop a super PAC.
Is monitoring separate from testing? Should it be?
I realized I thought of e2e tests as always being pretty intimately connected with both monitoring and testing. Especially if you take the time to write your tests in something like Playwright, and they're doing complex user behaviors and measuring response times, you want those running both as part of QA/Test and as part of your general monitoring.

I've recently had more than one discussion where it seemed like the distinction was very clear, and that stuff like Canary deploys were across the line from QA and now part of monitoring for the SRE/Operations.

I have two questions:

* is there a reason that things like Synthetic user testing shouldn't be used at the QA/Test/Staging, hell even Dev deployment stages?

* Should developers be writing the tests that will later be used to do uptime and synthetics checks? Or is that monitoring better left to the SREs and Ops specialists?

On the other hand is there a reason on the operations side that you wouldn't want to run the detailed tests that were written for QA?

Full disclosure I work for Synthetics tool Checkly, not trying to promote Checkly just hoping to understand this a bit better.

I think the secret to blogging frequently might well be not having a job... I occasionally pick up pieces of consulting work or sponsorship but I'm mainly working full-time (uncompensated) on my own projects.

Link blogs are different though: posting to those genuinely takes a couple of minutes per link. I've maintained my link blog happily while having a full-time job.

> The demand for true crime has considerably outpaced the supply

Soon it will go meta: a serial killer hosts a true crime show to create interesting episodes, and then other true crime shows have an episode on that!
Which one are you referring to there are too many ongoing for me to be certain and I don't want to think poorly of you for calling the military action in Gaza a massacre if you are referring to something else
I can't remember the specific sources but at least for the military the things that violate social normals and aren't done do happen, although it's usually something more political than aesthetics. But then that runs the risk of having that military force outcompeted and defeated.
No! The problem here is the the Royal Mail had bad records. Discovery doesn't help at all! Discovery just gets you a copy of the bad data. You need good data, and nobody has it! This is why we invented double-entry bookkeeping 500 years ago.

And even if, by fluke, discovery might help because there was actually a good copy somewhere, that means you've already lost by spending a fortune on lawyers in a dispute with a crown corporation! Look at these disputes - lives were ruined over $44k pounds. Suing the Post Office wouldn't be cheaper than that.

In a traditional paper based flow, I have my own copies. I talk to a salesperson, get a price, and fax a PO. I keep a copy of that PO on file. The vendor delivers the order along with a waybill. My staff receive the order and count it, reconciling against my order. If the count is short, we check the waybill. Is the waybill short too? Then there was a problem in order flow. If the waybill matches my order, but the shipment is short, then the problem is in fulfillment. I call sales and hash it out. Honest errors happen, and reasonable people resolve them when given the facts.

If the salesperson says their copy of the PO looks different, and calls me a liar when I send them my copy, then we have a real dispute. We might have to get a lawyer involved. But this is well beyond honest error.

But in most SaaS environments (GB egress, bytes storage, etc), you are dependent on the vendor for the data. There is no practical way to disagree with AWS if they tell you your usage was 20TB and you expected 15. You are trusting the vendor not to lie (maybe reasonable), and also to never make an error (totally unreasonable!). We now have no defense against honest error.

B2C is in a similar boat. In olden-times, I knew people who kept a log book and stop watch by the phone and logged all their calls. Every month, they reconciled their phone bill against their log. Just like they reconciled their bank statement against their cheque stubs and deposit slips. But who in this day keeps their own log of PayPal transactions safely outside Paypal? My main safety with PayPay is short latency - they report significant transactions right away so any errors can be corrected quickly.
Yes, but Google Books is a search engine. It doesn't write books, it just tells you where a particular phrase might occur in those books. There's explicit caselaw allowing you to do this, extending back before Google was even a thing. For related reasons, Google Books also does not let you read the whole book - just the page the search match came from.

OpenAI and other large language model developers are claiming they have a machine that can write books, but they also fed it shittons of books, and they can't account for where all that text went. At best they can say "well, it doesn't produce exact, verbatim copies of the training set all the time".

What has you focusing on this aircraft over, eg, the Airbus A330, which has killed a similar number of people?
The Python foundation can see all the dependencies you download from PyPI, and NPM can see all the dependencies you download from NPM/Yarn. This isn't unusual for a package manager.

If you prefer, you can run your own proxy and configure the Go command to use it instead.

> Modern capitalism was not invented by the British. It was invented by Italian people and Catholic religious orders. The British adopted the system and amplified it, just like the Industrialisation that came from the Netherlands.

I nearly qualified the original sentence with a reference to Dutch trading companies who built stock exchanges to fund colonies alongside us and apparently used the word "capitalist" to describe the sort of person that invested in them before us, and obviously the basic concept of markets and trade goes back long before the Venetian republic. But the Industrial Revolution and economic growth going exponential - the modern bit of capitalism - was definitely a British quirk
It doesn't, it's part of the mental gymnastics people are going to through to try to argue that commercial aviation is more dangerous than it is.
A lot of VCs don't do any due diligence.
The gamification is what helped me make it this far. Remembering to pop open an app for a few minutes on your phone takes so much less discipline than any other form of language learning I've tried in the past.
Why is this being downvoted? It's factual. You can't compare manufacturing growth in US Dollars over the past 10 years without adjusting for the decline in value of the underlying currency you are using to measure the growth; doing this will show "growth" when you are really just showing inflation in the currency as "growth" while concealing a decline in manufacturing in terms of real output by treating the unit of account as an absolute instead of relative measurement system. It's deceptive.
If anybody's using it like that, it's totally lost its meaning. The whole concept is that sometimes to get result A you have to a total laundry list of seemingly unrelated tasks to clear the way.

This scene[1] from Malcolm in the Middle almost illustrates it perfectly except it's more Hal getting distracted on side quests that were spawned because he tried to change a light bulb...

Metal corrodes. Ever seen an old car sitting in the sun and rain for a long time? It turns to rust and then disappears.
For Data Warehousing purposes it's nice if source systems use soft deletion for easy detection of deleted rows since a certain point in time. I don't think the use-case is limited to undoing user deletions.

If there is no soft deletion or audit table available, the alternative is to either 1) Select all the source primary keys to find out which no longer exist in the source but do exist in the data warehouse 2) If there is no primary key available, select the whole dateset for full row comparison

Since in corporate settings data warehouses load at least once a day, you can imagine the amounts of data being moved around needlessly.
It is always consistent because it is a single storage database with multiple access points. It's not distributed data so CAP theorem doesn't even apply to it.
In finance and investing, the value of something is computed using the net present value [1]. It's a, theoretically infinite, geometric series. Basically, all the future cash flows are accumulated today.

If the interest rate is high, cash flows in the future have almost zero value today. So future is not really important. If the interest rate gets close to zero, future cash flows become relevant.

As an investor, I'll focus more on currently profitable investments in a high-interest-rate scenario and more on possible future profits (a.k.a. growth) in a low interest environment. To me, this is what it means for tech startups and the industry.

The rest of the article sounds very much like conventional wisdom about interest rate from any econ 101 class.

What I miss a little bit in such economic discussions is that people don't base their explanations in terms of consumption of real goods. All the economic activity, after all, has the goal to provide some consumable value to people (in that sense listening to music is also consumption of a real good).

I think inflation has gone up because we had suddenly higher demand and it took some time to expand supply (e.g., production of computer chips). As the current supply is not enough for all demand, some individuals need to wait. Interest is their compensation for waiting.

That's why I think low, zero, or even negative interest rates will be the future as production of goods is surpassing meaningful consumption. In that sense, the current interest rates are an anomaly.

The super-app premise didn't really pan out in SEA as it did in China. Grab & Gojek predominantly serve logistics use cases (ride hailing, deliveries), their payments/wallet features just backup these. Bill payment & general POS payments are being dominated by the banks and E-Comm took the shopping & pay-later.

There are tons of contractors that are just middlemen, collecting and packaging data from other companies. See https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/06/how-federal-government...

This way the government doesn't have to interact (or even be able to identify) where exactly the data is sourced from.
My work computer and the PS4/firetv/etc are all wired anyway. So it's basically just a few phones and lightly-used laptops, none of which are doing anything particularly intense— at most pulling a 1080p Netflix stream. When my partner was doing Twitch, she was also wired.

At the end of the day my home internet is only 100/30, so it just seems silly to upgrade everything for slightly more bandwidth and maybe a bit better stability/recovery/utilization.

Yeah, I was actually thinking of SystemReady when I wrote my comment, and I have some vague understanding that Microsoft is all-in on it because ex. even their phones used UEFI, which is kind of beautiful. So the pieces are there, but sadly not nearly-universal like with x86 PCs:\

Separately, I will grant that drivers are their own sticking point, but I would like for them to be approximately the only sticking point. And even on x86 drivers are a problem; Linux generally has good mainline coverage of most networking cards, even wifi is good these days, but fingerprint readers have always been hit-or-miss. I just wish we could get to the point where once the drivers are upstreamed everything does Just Work and we can be free of "well this distro has a Raspberry Pi image but if you want to try an Orange Pi you need to find an OS that supports that exact board..."
On the rest of 4chan outside of /b/, you'll find lots of racist comments. Particularly on /pol/, but there are plenty even ignoring that board. You can report particular posts for breaking the "racism outside of /b/" rule, but it's very hit-or-miss whether the rule is enforced.
How would they not? I can't count how many times I snagged my headphones on something and my phone went flying or the headphones got yanked out of my ear before wireless headphones.
There have been literally hundreds of articles about this in the mainstream media for well over a decade. Yes, Computer Weekly and Private Eye deserve the biggest share of credit for persuing it, but it's simply not true to sat that the rest of media has ignored it. The real scandal is that even though it was widely reported, so little was done about it for years.
BTW I subscribe to Private Eye partly because it is interesting and funny, but mainly because they are one the few institutions in the UK that still seem to be doing proper investigative journalism and holding power to account. The rest have been hamstrung by Google et al taking all their advertising revenue or being owned by plutocrats (or both).

Soft delete is not a recycle bin but the process of marking a record as deleted and revoke access instead of actually deleting it.
Just wait until you see what the enterprise Java developers passing around with type Object and encoded XML blobs. Type checking is really useful but it can be defeated in any language if you don’t have a healthy technical culture.
This week's problem is merely the latest dot on a terrifying trend line.

It's the line that's making the news, and this dot forms that line.
The 737MAX is not going away. There are about 1400 of them flying and another 6000 orders. Boeing obviously has some serious quality problems that need to get fixed, but since the grounding in 2019, the MAX has done something like 1.5 million flights with no fatalities. This is worth fixing, but it's not dangerous enough to change your travel plans. You're way more likely to die from COVID you caught on the plane than because the plane was unsafe.
All my current customers are using Bitbucket, but it's the same.

They may look like centralized repositories but they are not. We have our own local repositories, sometimes even more than one for the same project, and we use the GitHub or Bitbucket one only to sync some branches between developers.

It's not what used to be with centralized systems. The only copy of the repository was on the server. Locally developers only had files sometimes with a global lock such that nobody could work on the same file at the same time.

That's the real advantage of having a system like git in combination with a server like GitHub.

The PRs are nice but not everybody use them. Sometimes it's only merge and push.

> There's nothing new here compared to ... whatever other VM bytecode formats have been dreamed up

Well, there is: it was designed to be easy for already mature V8's codebase to adopt as a low-level IR, with minimal changes (e.g. V8 keeps the JS AST more or less intact during the codegen, it doesn't lower it into 3-address code or anything like that, so WASM too has structured loops and blocks but no general "goto"). Other VMs, I believe, were developed after the bytecode design for them was done.
If we already have strong evidence that the current vaccine is effective, then I agree, we don't need to to do another placebo controlled studies. But very often in medicine we don't have any evidence besides our beliefs.
I think the critical thing to think about is the derivative of risk. How is risk changing over time.

We are in a trend where risk is increasing.

Boeing is a major institution responsible for building critical defense and civil technology. With many jobs on the line as well.

People need to be held accountable, and we need a culture that allows people to speak up earlier and more often. Otherwise this will continue to happen and not just at Boeing but across many more critical sectors of our society.
He was heavily mentioning drones in the Foreign Affairs piece [1] he wrote in the spring of 2023: "Innovation Power - Why Technology Will Define the Future of Geopolitics"

> Drones offer distinct advantages over traditional weapons: they are smaller and cheaper, offer unmatched surveillance capabilities, and reduce soldiers’ risk exposure. Marines in urban warfare, for example, could be accompanied by microdrones that serve as their eyes and ears. Over time, countries will improve the hardware and software powering drones to outinnovate their rivals. Eventually, autonomous weaponized drones—not just unmanned aerial vehicles but also ground-based ones—will replace soldiers and manned artillery altogether. Imagine an autonomous submarine that could quickly move supplies into contested waters or an autonomous truck that could find the optimal route to carry small missile launchers across rough terrain. Swarms of drones, networked and coordinated by AI, could overwhelm tank and infantry formations in the field.

My take on this is that lacking direct combat experience everything the Americans (and the West more generally) will come up with in terms of drones will be hugely inferior to whatever the Russians are now building, heck, it would be inferior even to what the Ukrainians have managed to build locally (one of the targets the Russians hit recently was an Ukrainian drone factory in Kiev).

4 days late on this but - if an airfcraft is in a sparsely populated area then it is allowed to be below 500' AGL so long as it is 500' away from "person, vessel, vehicle, or structure." This rule is suspended if the aircraft is in the process of taking off or landing (includes "flying the pattern"). I don't know where you live, so it may not apply to you. If you're in a rural-ish area, the person could be taking off from their own land or an airport you're not aware of.

I booked a flight on United yesterday, well after this latest Boeing incident. After looking more carefully, they have me on a 737 MAX 9.
