1 - it really doesn't matter, delegating your manufacturing to a subcontractor doesn't absolve you of ensuring the product is made properly

2 - it's made in a former Boeing plant, that boeing sold to an investment fund and then contract work to, so if your point is "that's not how REAL boeing manufacturing is done" well that's certainly where boeing is heading its manufacturing.

3 - The plane is designed, certified, assembled, inspected and then sold by Boeing. If I buy a ford and the door falls off randomly after two weeks, I don't care which subcontractor made the door, I give ford an angry warranty call.
I guess I'm not convinced. This is a demo that should have been chosen to show the product in the best light, but it doesn't fix the problem. Was the demo reviewed by QA?

> Where do you find fellow 40 year olds that can also take risks like you're both 20? I'm asking seriously because I'm also 40 and able to take a risk thanks to saving up some money

On HN, apparently! You guys should get together and take some risks. Frankly, I'd much rather work with 40-year olds than 20-year olds. You may not get the same energy, but you're also much less likely to see your coworker throwing up in the office for half the day after that binge drinking night before.
'giving people what they want' is not zero sum, nor is it uniform.

While I don't agree with the parent commenter, his message can be understood in multiple ways.

Look at me and my partners - I have lots of executive function, but little empathy, my wife has lots of empathy, but not as much executive function. She provides me an emotional sink when I need one, and I provide here stability and planning - we're both giving and taking from each other freely, but those are things we each have in excess. For our other partner we both provide him a level of support that he's on the right path, and a place to vent excess feelings (which she can take because of her empathy, and I can take because of my lack of empathy).

If I look thru my social network, I can see similar pairings - people give me things that I lack, and I give them the things I have in excess. People who end up being net takers, don't end up sticking around long (they make themselves unwelcome), and net givers end up burning themselves out - you need to keep things in balance.

Here's another perspective... it isn't just about how we handle stress, it's about the causes of stress...

In her 90s, my grandmother said to me "Your generation has far more money than we had, but we were happier and had less stress." She grew up in a just slightly more than a subsistence level farm family, then with my grandfather achieved just enough farming success to send the next generation to college. She travelled away from home just a few times in life, but as she said - it was a generally low-stress life.

Modern life on the other hand often starts the day with an utterly toxic commute. When we eat, it's often while working at our desk. Our housing costs are far above what was historically considered a safe % of income. We take almost no vacation and when we do, we take our laptop and phone with us. Even if we have health insurance, it is often very challenging to actually get preventative care.

I could go on and on, but my point is - modern life is stressful in completely different ways than the stressed encountered by the historical "peasant farmer." His stress involved things he might be able to do something about, like storing up grain for winter or reinforcing his dwelling. Our modern stress is far more obtuse and difficult to control, like the Fed raising rates or Congress introducing a rider on a bill that wipes out a tax credit that was the only thing keeping us profitable.

All AI systems (including A* and LLMs) can be thought of as a system that explores a search space to obtain a certain goal. At least this is what I understood from reading artificial intelligence -a modern approach by Peter norvig.

Both A* and deep learning explores a search space based on a goal. The difference is DL explores when it's training and learns to use the right moves for a given input.

Because that becomes your life, that's the answer. The people who are willing to take those risks are very well compensated for it when they pan out. But there's a very reasonable belief that the labor market should be fair, free of exploitation, and that you should have basic protections and a civil means to address your grievances that aren't just quitting, starting your own business, or dragging your boss out of their office and either murdering them or beating the shit out of them as was customary historically.

For everyone who starts there own business there are two to four orders of magnitude of employment contracts so almost by definition starting your own business can't be a solution for everyone.

I think there are many reasons why SU would fail, but the biggest to me is that so much content is that so much content is produced just for the major social media sites. SU wouldn't offer net value over just using those apps.

For example, consider what the UX on mobile would be like. A modern SU would often send you to the major social media sites since that's where the content is. But you'd either constantly encounter login walls or "download the app!" banners OR you'd have to constantly shift back and forth between apps. As a user why would I put up with that, when I could just stay in one app and see so much of the same content?
Take it like this: If you have to ride share and you hear that a common car used by drivers of Uber is having an increased failure rate, not passing inspections and have been temporarily banned from being on the road until more is learned; I think a pretty fair response is to try and avoid entering that car regardless of the ratio of incidents when driving that car, and when biking to the dealership to get it

I don't think it's necessarily just true that there is something wrong with how we handle stress. We also subject ourselves to different types of stress.

A peasant farmer was dramatically more likely to experience violence in a given year. But (from studies I've seen) they probably spent fewer hours in a week working and more with family and friends than a modern-day office worker.

It seems quite possible that the chronic, low-level stress of much modern life

- requires different methods of prevention and healing

- does more damage over the long term if untreated
Stress is subjective. It doesn't have to align with objective measures. Evolution has selected for stress to work to favor survival in a certain environment, but we're no longer in that environment. If we needed support networks in the past, then we should expect to be unhappy without them, regardless of how important they are to survival in the present.

Back when competition law used to be enforced, if you used your ~90% market share in one area (such as PC operating systems) to give yourself an unfair advantage in another area (such as web browsers) the government forced you to stop doing that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Cor....

If the laws were still being enforced, a company that has a very large market share in web browsers, and a very large market share in search, would have to be extremely careful not to "accidentally" break their competitors' products.
I think you’re misunderstanding the comments. This was a problem, it needs to be investigated and fixed, but the overreaction to this is bordering on insanity.

Commercial aviation in the U.S. is still incomprehensibly safe. It is not getting measurably less safe. The 737 MAX line are not death traps.
> what's irrational in not believing that 737 Max is safe?

The millions of miles they've flown without incident.

The key difference this conversation demands is a design versus fabrication or maintenance error. MCAS was a design error. It called into question the entire 737 Max fleet. This looks like a fabrication or maintenance mistake. That calls into question all of the planes similarly fabricated or maintained--those have been grounded. It doesn't affect a 737 Max of a different type, that has been flown for years and been through routine inspections, including of the very bolts suspected to be the cause of this accident.

Caveat: I strongly suspect more than the type 9 need to be looked at. But we do not have evidence that they are unsafe.

Yeah, no worries, I kept up with all the twists and turns of Unity. I was mostly commenting on the outdated changes that people freaked out over. 1m in revenue is fine, 20% per install fee (which is sketchy to track to begin with) after 200k downloads was ludicrous for an indie, especially on mobile. Meanwhile, it still would have been a cheaper deal for the AAA market than UE (especially if you bought enterprise).

If they bumped that old plan to like, $10m Dollars there would have been a lot less outrage. The AAA studios might have revolted but more behind closed doors, as usual.
Show HN: SkimAI – AI assistant triaging the email inbox
Hello HN community,

My name is Matthieu and this is my first post on HackerNews, so I brace for impact.

I want to share with you SkimAI, a product my cofounder and I developed to reduce the time knowledge workers spend on repetitive admin tasks.
We start with tackling email overload, by leveraging AI to streamline your email experience.

Currently SkimAI supports Gmail and offers the following features:

- Inbox Management: it highlights unread emails removing the hassle of searching for important messages.

- Email Summarization: it gives an instant overview of emails' content. Less time needed to reply to an inbound message.

- Reply Drafting: it crafts responses ready for review, thus saving time and effort. This functionality can run automatically

I want to improve the product and extend its capabilities. Your feedback is important.

FAQs

Q: Is SkimAI compatible with email clients other than Gmail?

A: Currently, SkimAI supports Gmail. However, we have plans to extend its compatibility to other email services.

Q: Can I connect SkimAI to my Mail app?

A: You can connect SkimAI to your Gmail address. Once SkimAI creates a new draft, the draft will appear in your Mail app.

Q: How you ensure privacy and security?

A: We do not store any information in our cloud service. All messages and summaries are stored locally on your machine, and inside Gmail.

Give it a try and let me know how it can improve. I want to hear from you.

If you think the problem with the 737 Max has been fixed, none of this is relevant. The crude estimate I gave is if you adopt the reasonable theory that the production/operation of the 737 Max is bad more generally, with the cause of the prior crashes being just one of the flaws discovered.

An illustrative example: suppose there was a plane model with 100 flaws that each cause a crash every 100B miles, and after each crash that particular flaw is fixed completely. The "correct" fatality rate would still be ~once per billion miles even after several crashes, and would only approach the standard airplane background rate asymptotically after dozens of crashes.
Why are you limiting events to the US? A max 9 crashing in the eastern hemisphere is still a max 9...

The people I know under stress in modern society often lack clear options for alternatives or need a completely radical change in their situation.

Or alternatively perhaps we don't actually have prosperity?

Even if their choice wasn't so constrained, the choice between shopping at the Walmart next door, or the Walmart down the road, is not very helpful.

In fact, it would have been an argument in favor that they are a monopoly.

The was no pilot error or equipment malfunction in that incident. (I suppose you could look at the pilot of the dash 8 and wonder why he didn't hold short, but he could have been driving a golf cart and still made an runway incursion.) It didn't even happen in the air.

Boeing was rightly blamed for misleading everyone about the nature of the MAX8. It is a materially different airframe, and it required different systems to be created to be competently flyable with 737 type rating. Is Boeing misleading anyone here on the MAX9? Personally, I doubt it. It was probably a fluke non-conforming part, since that plug is a carryover from other 737s. The track record leaves a lot of us wondering if something's up, though.

> people simply don't want to stress out about dying during their flight

Sure, and as I point out elsewhere, that's reasonable [1]. It's irrational because it doesn't actually change anything, about your situation or systematically.

Not flying a 737 Max to feel better is reasonable. Doing it to be safer, or because it's going to punish Boeing or whatever, is not.

I have concerns, but not enough not to fly.

Everything I do in life is a calculated risk. If you told me my toaster was 3 times as likely to kill me today I would still probably toast my bread knowing that the base rate was already pretty low.

If anything, knowing that all of the headline grabbing incidents has been confined to one product line at one company, and watching the amount of scrutiny they are receiving for it makes me feel safer overall.
Thanks for taking the time to clear it up for me. I read it as Java for CRUD, but not for consultancies and body shops. I should have realized that the OP would've used the phrase "BS for" if he/she was referring to another programming language besides Java. I was thinking it might've been a typo for JS but it didn't seem to fit the context for body shops.

Apparently Apple created a language called "Bs" but I figured it couldn't be that either. And someone did create a BSLang, but as a joke.

Lesson learned for how the mind can steer itself in the wrong direction based on an erroneous assumption from an inaccurate reading.
rust libs recently. pydantic for example
Nope. I used to fly as a day job though. I have dreams of owning my own plane some day but it is so ridiculous to own one that that it is at best a dream. Also, I really do think Boeing is a source of issues in the aviation industry. This is all about ruts. Aviation is in a huge one right now and Boeing has a lot of the blame for creating that rut. Ruts are inevitable though for math reasons beyond this post so I don't fully blame them. I do have a prediction. The math of ruts says that the deeper the rut the more energy required to get out of it. This means that when aviation finally does break out it will be followed by massive innovation and change. I personally think that point is nearly here. Electric aviation is my bet on the source but it could be one of many other sources too. I can't wait to see it happen.
