I agree with some of this, but I’ve come to believe that so many people are takers because the modern world somewhat imposes the necessity of it.

There is a remarkable disparity in how much people can create value and be of service to their communities. As such, a huge disparity in incomes as well. Worse still, a lot of how we value things is increasingly through and economic lens. I think a lot of modern cultures are beginning to devalue individuals and create a sense of helplessness among many people because they don’t have the cognitive faculties required to be effective and productive under these conditions and within these benchmarks of perceived value.

I think this will get worse because the reality is that people aren’t getting much smarter, but the smarter people are increasingly able to accomplish more with less.

This is certainly facile and there is more to this, but my intuition is that it’s a significant component. In other cultures, especially more traditional cultures, this ratio of givers and takers seems less askew and people have clearer roles and purpose.

To wrap up, I don’t blame people for being takers so to speak. There are greater forces at work. I imagine them like leaves floating down a stream, nowhere near as much in control of their course as we expect they should be or imagine otherwise.

A world that expects us to excel intellectually in order to succeed will leave a lot of people behind no matter what. I suspect something like half of people by default.

Hi!

I've added Korean as an "experimental" language. You can try it out if you would like to.
There’s probably more people worried about the 737 than are worried about the imperfect autopilot in their cars.
I would. I'm that afraid.
Interesting, I think that might have been what the original OpenAI was about. My take on it is that they're now doing the opposite, they're not building some AGI, they're pushing a glorified mass plagiarism machine. They built a machine that downloads a load of copyrighted data, stores it and then serves up copyrighted material and variations of copyrighted material. Their only defence is pretending the theft machine is actually basically human and therefore we should apply vastly different copyright law standards to it than we apply to The Pirate Bay.
Classic American mentality. "If we don't have it here, it can't work anywhere else."

Not sure what became of my Radeon 7200 but I have a sweet Radeon HD 7770 (GHz Edition!!!) that still works.
Lol... blow through the quota if you like.
The goings on at Boeing this past decade or so suggest nothing is "working as it should". They killed hundreds of people trying to play silly games with safety regs. Hundreds of them.
Maybe that it would be interesting to know what the numbers actually are. There is the common saying that you are more likely to get in an accident on the way to the airport than traveling on the plane, but knowing what the likelihood of both of those as well as the likelihood of an accident on a max could show this all to be hysteria or actually well founded.
Not sure what web 3.0 will be fought with but web 4.0 will definitely be sticks and stones
They pay a higher fee and/or manually send an agent to their offices to verify, if they really really want that customer.
> What if they just built batteries into the base of turbine?

What would this gain other than making the turbines more expensive to build and maintain? It’s cheaper to put the batteries almost anywhere else and altogether.
For one-and-done, I agree. But if you're looking at dynamic code base and you want to keep your documentation in sync, having to make 'manually correct the generated output' part of your build process can get expensive. (And tedious for the poor grunt who's got to do the work.)
Sorry I'm dealing with connection issues right now, due to the increased demand. Working on it, hope to be back within a few minutes!
> Air safety going down

Is it?
I don't think it's worth celebrating an emergency door being blown off a plane that already killed 300+ people years prior. This is not how the system should work.
You are lumping together the transmission and generation costs, which will have different service lifetimes.

Wind turbines are 30+, but advances in technology and falling costs have incentivized many wind farms to repower with bigger turbines far before the end of service life in order to increase profitability.
I came to that realisation a few months before the lockdowns, so I was in the lucky position that my life didn't change very much at all - instead of being isolated at work, I was isolated at home and didn't have to put on a happy face.

One of the case studies that led me to the same conclusions as you was somebody that I had been helping regularly for years just casually mentioned how she wasn't spending time with one of her friends anymore because he was depressed.

Many others treated me like a professional supplier of several services, but only ever hung out with me when they really had nothing else going on.

Nowadays I only put up with people asking for emotional support (or any support really) if we made some good memories together in the last three months. If they chose to spend their time with others all this time, then they might as well go ask them for help.
I mean, isn't the info on your ticket? Which can be electronically updated when the airline makes a change, right?

Found the frequentist.

The fact that defects (such as "the doors falling off") are being found in planes that have rolled off the assembly line MONTHS ago causes me to second guess my priors for anything that is coming out of a Boeing factory.
One of the last remaining remnants of this is the pirating community. Their work on cracking, emulation, system hacking and anonymity is such a wonderful place to make friends, push technology and just have fun. They still have that old school humour which made the internet so cool.
Yes. For mission-critical bolts and nuts, absolutely safety wire and cotter pins should be used.
Hi!

I've added Chinese. However i couldn't find a dictionary for it yet, and it might need a custom font for Chinese characters. DeepL works with it as well. If it has issues, I will fix it soon.
Well, if you feel a flag is underserved you can vouch for the submission/comment. I think a vastly smaller number of vouches is needed to unflag something than the number of flags it took to flag it.

I know there's the downside of not being able to vouch for something until it got buried, but even so I think the end-result is reasonably democratic.
It's a satirical interview about a real event: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirki_(tanker)

As expected, the workaround was to add a “demo mode”[0]. Glad they finally figured it out!

It doesn't matter. Nothing will change unless enough people begin voting with their feet.
Given that every affected 737 MAX has been grounded for inspection already, this seems a bit hyperbolic. If you are still worried about some hitherto unknown new problem from Boeing, it could just as likely come from any of their airframes.

Take the code you find in an average notebook, copy it to a .py text file, run it with python. Does it run? In my experience the answer is usually 'no' because of some extra-ass syntax sugar jupyter has that doesn't exist in python.
Sounds a lot like "yeah sure, fear over 737 Max is overblown, but the fact that I was thinking about it in the first place says something about the current state of affairs".

You can apply this same argument to literally fucking everything.
Thank you: this is exactly the game I was looking for in the list, but forgot the name. It, too, was my first introduction to Moai as a kid.
I can't imagine that many people in the rich countries in the modern era are among the most stressed humans in history, even despite the erosion of social support networks. Nearly everyone has adequate shelter, food, security, and access to virtually magical health care from the perspective of everyone before 70 years ago. Children consistently make it into adulthood and famine has been kept at bay for a century or more, interpersonal violence is at an all time low. If in the midst of this unparalleled prosperity and wonder we're just as stressed as a peasant farmer who just lost half their family to disease, war and famine then something is badly wrong with how we handle stress.

> If you pre-open shared memory in a ProcessPoolExecutor's initializer functions, you can't close them when the worker process exits

That's quite surprising to learn, as I didn't think the initializer ran in a specialized context (like a pthread_atfork postfork hook in the child).

What happens when you try to close an initializer-allocated SharedMemory object on worker exit?
Is it possible that the planes were changed for a different one in light of the cancellations recently and … one or the other is wrong?

Thank you for sharing that. Not only is it an interesting aircraft, but the page answered my main question about this type of control system design, which was "is it using the Coandă effect?"

Years ago, when I read about the original grandiose plans for the Air Force's Y-2, one of the aspects I thought was very interesting was the ability to create a "virtual airfoil"[1] via the Coandă effect. It seemed like one of those designs that was impractical with a human 100% in control, but that might come around again with computer assistance or a fully computer-piloted aircraft. Pretty neat that someone already made it happen.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro_Canada_VZ-9_Avrocar has a brief discussion of this.
blahhh i really want to do a larger format one for art but scared of the hardware part of it not being that technical. seems like there are more people doing it.
> lumping together the transmission and generation costs, which will have different service lifetimes

Sure, it’s back of the envelope. If you have more precise figures I’m genuinely curious.
Really, without the HR procedural mix-up, this is a completely valid complaint by the employer.

To make a case that coming into an office to work causes you undue stress, but that standing up in front of a bunch of people to do comedy does not, is a big stretch. Seems like an abuse of medical leave, to me.
There are some of us that are just as worried about the 737 as the imperfect autopilot in others cars :)

Thanks for commenting, and totally get your perspective on it.

Scanning today can be done locally with many tools like Semgrep before you use Corgea. We do send over vulnerability information over to Corgea to make sure we can issue fixes for them reliably and at-scale. Keep in mind repos have vulnerabilities in the thousands or even tens of thousands. So it's not as simple as copilot running on your IDE reading your current likes of code. We have to be able to do this at-scale.

Finally, we've put a lot of effort into securing things down and you can read some of those details here: https://docs.corgea.app/security
Eye the beholder I guess. The beauty of airplanes is that they fly the way they look, and this thing gives off serious AN-2 vibes. Makes perfect sense for Australia, where there's a huge need for cheap air trucks with STOL capability in the outback. Biplanes are still a good choice for that to this day, based on all the old Antonovs still in service.
the start-up situation sounds pretty similar
> All my local electronics shops (in the Bay Area!) have closed down.

Mouser Electronics is less than an hour away from me. Microcenter is an extremely short drive (I routinely get lunch around there) and has lots of hobby electronics stuff. The local hacker space is filled with people, full classes almost every day and people making things all the time. The university near me has a busy hackerspace as well for students. Meetups for software developers are routinely packed. I'm surrounded by chip fabs, high-value equipment manufacturing, board fabrication, and engineering firms every corner I turn.
A lot of people don't realize that the fuselage of this plane isn't even made by Boeing, it's made by Spirit AeroSystems which also makes components for Airbus.

We don't really know who to blame here until the investigation concludes.
A strong GPU programmer can do this instinctively. But thinking about it deeper, I think this is exactly the kind of project that demonstrates what is so different about GPUs vs CPU programming.

In CPU programming, just sequentially outputting printf one-at-a-time works. And you can optimize this to go faster-and-faster.

In GPU programming, its innately a parallel job. Any printf call will innately cause all 32-threads of your warp to call printf at the same time (at a minimum!!), which immediately requires all 32 threads to coordinate. Bonus points for expanding out to 1024-threads of a workgroup or cross-workgroup atomics with a wider CUDA-grid.

This "printf" is simple enough to a typical programmer, and yet hits so many advanced parallelization problems (so "reserving" bufferspace and other such tricks to help make the parallel-back-into-sequential for CPU land)
But "a car" is not really a fair comparison, it's usually "my car with me as a driver". Because I'd bet driving risk varies much more than flying.
Airbus seems to get by just fine.
They will probably have an energy storage facitilty nearby. There’s little benefit to bundling these, and the cost of maintenance is increased. Also, batteries will have shorter timespan than the turbines.

It may begin to make sense when battery prices get so low that installation and setup costs increase - similarly to solar where a large part of price currently is installation and scaffolding, not the panels themselves
Hi!

I've added Chinese as an "experimental" language. I couldn't find a dictionary for it yet, and it might need a custom font type. DeepL works as well. I will fix the font issue soon.
Boeing have killed hundreds of people by skirting safety regs. With the MAX. Get a clue.
ASML EUV IP is licensed from EUV LLC which is an LLC formed by the DOE and a bunch of labs such as LL and Berkeley which commercialized the EUV lithography IP they developed in the 90’s.

That licensing deal comes with a lot of strings attached including congressional oversight.

Their EUV light source is made by Cymer which they acquired another US company.

ASML might be HQed in NL but I’m not sure you can call it a European company anymore.
There's an old MIX08 video where some guys from MS actually talk through the design process and everything that went into it with a lot of depth as well as looking at alternative ideas and why they didn't work.

It almost seems it should be regulated. But it also seems the regulations should have prevent a shitshow of an airplane being deployed.

There are a lot of fun websites. Start here https://ooh.directory instead of your App Store.
I've seen worse. In particular I recently watched a (long!) video about French interwar bombers. Some of them sure had... interesting designs. Also on topic for HN, the video talks about the politics, conflict, and general folly involved in their specification. https://youtu.be/gWzmNw5Mu_w?si=81QvU0L7_vlv7Hcn

I gotta say, the plane in the article above is pretty cute by comparison.
Many airlines allow same day changes. If everyone scheduled on a Max reschedules for alternative flights consistently, they'll get the message soon enough. Refusing to board a Boeing plane at all is perfectly reasonable at this stage.
The Web certainly has changed. One of the first websites I found on my own, when I was maybe 6 years old, was for people to find raves in their local area. There was very frank discussion about the pharmacological activities involved. I kindly asked my mother if I could go to one of these raves. She kindly said no.

I'm not going to comment on how it compares to other planes but it's certainly significantly less safe than the previous generations of 737:

> a fatal accident rate of four accidents per million flights, whereas the previous Boeing 737 generations averaged 0.2 fatal accidents per million flights
As a solo developer I will say that testing is pita because, at least for me, it's difficult to expose the ways users will interact with the UI and I tend to use it the same way over and over.

I've never worked with a team so I really can't say if they experience the same thing. I suppose they should uncover bugs better than I alone but users would still find some.

It took me a pretty long time to suss out all the ways users found to break the app after adding new features so I have to think teams could benefit from a service like this.

Hopefully others will chime in here for you.
It's completely different from the EU days, and it's no longer in the EU, full stop. Getting a visa for UK isn't really any easier than $any_other_country. Not only that, it's often quite a bit more expensive with the NHS surcharge and such.

People are already doing this. The PiStorm is a daughtercard that takes a Raspberry Pi running a 68000 emulator and exposes the pin-level interface of the 68000 to the host system. You can drop one into an Amiga's CPU socket and have an instant performance boost, plus the PiStorm is running additional software that lets you access the Pi's file system and operating system from the Amiga side. Compatibility for old Macs and Atari STs is coming soon as I understand it.

The things Amigaheads will do to keep their old hardware running and useful in the current era are... kind of insane.

depending on how good of a line-of-sight you have to the transmitter, you can receive over 50+m using a well-tuned antenna

if the transmitter is hidden, range largely depends on what it's hidden inside, but even a phone at the bottom of a backpack can receive from a similarly hidden flipper zero broadcasting from another backpack at about 5-10m

Spin: Replicate your production environment locally using Docker
I feel this, but likely because I am a software engineer and PC tinkerer from the '90's.

Everything that get's created, gets commercialized and swallowed up by whatever product roadmap that commercial entity has. The soul of the internet, from my point of view, can be simply stated as "connection."

Where do we go when we want to connect further and wider than our feet can take us? The internet. What is the point of connection? To share who we are through a wide variety of means: games, text, images, music, voice, etc.

The internet as a protocol supports that endeavor, but the layers that were built on top of the internet started swallowing up human attention. Now there are a few large leaders who have built application layers on top of the web, and that's where people go for their connection. This very website is one of them.

Recent developments with ActivityPub and mastodon are promising. Personally, I'd just like to find my way back to a universal protocol for connection. At the root of it, there's a need for infrastructure which will always cost money. I think that's the main hurdle that needs overcoming.
