Very interesting video that shows a clear picture of how the plug is held in place. Some interesting spots in the video, 8:44 shows how the upper two locking bolts lock the roller pins into the upper door tracks, and 10:00 show the lower two locking bolts onto the sliding hinge posts. 13:10 shows how the door blew cleanly off, with very little damage to the roller pins and lower hinge posts. Some comments say the same plug have been used on the 737-900 which didn't have this issue.

My armchair speculative guess: there are only 4 bolts effectively holding the door onto the roller pins and lower hinges. Somehow I don't think it's a simple case of someone forgetting to tighten the bolts; since they're using castle nuts, forgetting to torque them down would leave behind extra cotter pins. Those bolts look positively tiny, probably no more than M12 diameter, and are subject to intense shearing forces. In the case of the upper roller pin with locking bolt, they are effectively two cylinders perpendicular and on top of each other, which causes extreme compressive forces to be concentrated on one tiny spot on the bolt. My guess is they cheaped out and switched to an inappropriate/softer bolt, which sheared and/or corroded. If one shears, the load quickly spreads to the remaining 3 bolts which all also shear off. This theory would still jive with OPs article about UA; "loose bolts" may not necessarily mean "untightened nuts and bad QA", but rather, signs that the locking bolts are all beginning to bend or shear.
I've found Anki way better than Duo for learning vocabulary.

Clozemaster is a bit like Anki with prepackaged sentences.
> read this and it will all make sense.

Linux is a sprawling metropolis, you have everything and its opposite - a lot of it won't make any sense unless you learn who built what, when, and why; and you can have dirty slums right next to well-designed skyscrapers.

Trying to find meaning in such a thing is fundamentally a fool's errand.
Are there any models out there that don’t come trained or tweaked or system prompted into somebody else’s idea of ethical or professional conduct? I tested out a bunch of these apps and asked them to write an explicit story to see if they would, and despite this being entirely legal, none would do so. Are we entering some new Orwellian era?
I'd say the Gentoo handbook comes pretty close. You set up everything in the system and all is well explained. Not quite as extreme as LFS but enough to learn and not punish yourself.
because game theory, and we would evolve to recognize cheating
Well if you cut everyone's salaries, you also don't retain the good people. That's the theory at least. In practice, some of these companies don't know who is solid and who isn't since they have layers of management. So it can be quite random
As a non-"Designer" something I never shut up about is how powerful it is to bootstrap that expertness by leveraging the UI elements and concepts your users already know from elsewhere, for instance, literal native UI widgets, and more broadly, highly-recognizable simple fundamental widget types. When you have the opportunity to present 4 options, you could use your brand's themed version of [Insert UI Library]'s searchable combobox with checkable items, or you could show 4 normal labeled radio buttons or checkboxes. The latter beats the former in every way:

1. User knows whether they can pick one vs many based on the circles vs squares.

2. User can see all four options, even if the widget ends up unfortunately placed in the viewport (I've had to scroll inside these and only be able to see like 2 options at once, so many times).

3. No issues with mobile keyboard wanting to open to let you "search", further obstructing the tiny viewport.

4. Accessibility will always be 100%.

Yet this option "fails" in the category of "looks cute with our Design System" so usually designers choose the first choice, and worse, "standardize" on doing that, so that using normal widgets is a "bug."

Ultimately too many "UX designers" are hacks, who worship and pursue aesthetics and branding at the expense of everything else. A UI widget isn't the time or place to assert your brand or creativity, any more than you should design your own font that forces all letters to be shapes from your logo. Your customers don't care about your brand more than being able to complete their tasks.
That is my point, yes. I am pointing out that there is no objective bar for a claim to be "scientific".
> ... it can infer gender from signals earlier in the text

Or even later in the text. Which is one of the great thing about transformers.
They also need to get it together with their hardware. Their main camera products were out of stock for so long due to the supply chain that they "redesigned" them with cheaper/worse parts and released the G5 series and did a bunch of marketing to try and mask it.
It's definitely interesting. Models exported to onnx, uses tokenizers-cpp bindings. All packaged as a single binary.
Ah thanks for that. Somehow missed that one!
HN has always had a core of fascist affinity but it's quickly becoming more open, unfortunately.
Drones are cheap. EW is even cheaper. The US has multiple C-UAS systems in use and even better ones in development. Some are just EW systems, some are cheapo gun based systems, and other are directed energy weapons. Missile based systems are the best but also the most expensive of the currently deployed solutions. The cheapest missile system is probably the APKWS that we've shipped to Ukraine. This uses a laser to guide the missile to the drone. But for countering FPV/Mavic type drones, even those are overkill. Just jam the entire area on the frequencies in use, and deny everyone drone use.

It's important not to draw too many conclusions from the Ukraine war. The combatants are fighting a much different fight on both sides than what the US would do.
The original claim was about 'sailing in a conflict zone', a.k.a. getting fire insurance for a house that is already on fire.
At the time I looked I couldn't find a Wifi 6E Access Point significantly cheaper than $279. Have you?
I've been hearing this more and more… what's the best bet when it comes to APs for tech-savvy people in 2024?
They removed typing in answers for source language (i.e. English) translations. Was a feature, but now it's gone. You have to pick from the words they give you
There are plenty of e.g. scaffolding tools to handle the bundlers and deployments etc for web frameworks if you are OK with IDE doing that.

I don't use IDEs or scaffolding tools if I can do without. I use many different languages and platforms, and for that just good old vim and terminal make juggling between them a lot easier.

I do understand that using the tool you know makes things (seem) simple. But it's the same for all tech.

The deprecations were exaggarated (along the tune of your two day). I haven't done Android native in a while, but e.g. the situation with Camera/Camera2/CameraX was quite bad.
Pretty hard after the bulk of their talented engineers purportedly bailed.

That’s unfortunate, seems like there are no Boeing planes left with the level of credibility they had before.
Thank you for your honesty. Are there any other industries that you hold at a similar standard?
Well, given how disappointing the rest of their AP lineup performs in real world scenarios (from my anecdotal experience, ofc), it won't need more than 2.5 GbE. Probably barely exceeds 1 Gbps.
It was finally getting more stable once nested refabs landed.

The *RP stuff added an official shader graph which stopped artists from asking for half a dozen different shader stacks/plugins.

Build and asset bundle stuff is about the same but with the standard addressables library making things a bit more consistent.

My cynical take on DOTS is that because it consumed all the marketing driven feature requests and was such a mess they moved it out of LTS unity. This let LTS Unity become a lot more stable than in the past.
I wish I had the skills.

What UX bugs specifically?
https://archive.ph/g2HAm
Although not really part of a UI's "design", performance is often overlooked as well. A poorly performing UI violates every single one of these design rules.
My sony android smart TV looks amazing but the UI is so slow as to be unusable.

An unstable UI that is always changing also violates most of these principles. Smart TVs seem to be exceptionally bad in this area too, with the home screen layout and app icons frequently changing positions for no apparent reason.

While I'm complaining, my other pet peeve, which unfortunately is only getting worse is: unlabeled icons (often without even tooltips). If I have to google for documentation to know what a button is called, your UI design is bad!
The survival of the individual is indeed not what natural selection is selecting for.

Otherwise phenomena like eusocial insects with sterile workers would not make sense. What is actually selected for, is genes that somehow promote more copies of themselves. This is the main takeaway from the book "the selfish gene".

However, the example of ants and bees shows that this doesn't exactly promote long lifespan in the sterile workers... Instead, they are mass-produced expendable drones.
Cloud Observability in Action
> If your offspring does not survive to reproduce

First you declared genes had no evolutionary pressure on longevity after children existed... but now you're amending it to grand-children existing?

Well, what about great-grandchildren? How many more times must you be forced to move the goalposts before realizing that the logic behind them is simply wrong?

You can't just ignore stuff like kin-selection, which we've known about for over a hundred years already.
> Boeing needs to be broken up and reorganized, full stop. Congress has to act. It is simply too important and vital of a company to US strategic interests to be left in this state.

The MD merger that led to the shift of Boeing management culture was due to the government intervening and forcing a marriage between the two companies because MD was too important for vital defense interests.
I hate this. You're talking about S174 tax code changes, right? I'm here making a hard decision about whether to remain in a field of work that could be classified as either R&D or Maintenance, whether to move out of the country, or both – and we are talking about the same thing aren't we?

Anyone got any real-world comparison with Pandas? Like an orders of magnitude wow moment?
More and more hacker news needs a way to pin these kinds of comments due to servers getting overwhelmed.
What kind of performance do you get? I have little reason to move to 6/6E from Wifi 5/ac Wave 2 but surely N is a little long in the tooth?
It's kind of strange for me that the most secure out of the box wifi router I could find was made in China by a Hong Kong based company. The new one comes with 2 2.5 slots fwiw.
I have a local streaming server with ripped bluerays and such and a truenas fileserver and I do ML things (downloaded a 32 GB model yesterday), so more speed is always helpful, especially in a crowded wifi apartment building.
You never get close to the theoretical maximum throughput of modern WiFi radios.

Check out the review of one of the fastest 6E radios: https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews/li... The highest throughput they can get is still short of 2.5G even when combining all three bands, and that's in controlled laboratory conditions. In the real world you'll get much less.

10G wired ethernet is significantly more expensive and power hungry. The extra heat and expense aren't worth it for something you'll never use in the real world.
Based on e.g. [this classic](https://youtu.be/a9xAKttWgP4?si=oMQQVbIziq60Cd1F), it seems people are fluent and productive in APL in a way I doubt anyone can become in Brainfuck.

But I would also like to know from APL aficionados whether it is a “write-only” power tool akin to a “Perl for math”, or if it’s also easy to read other people’s APL code once you get used to the most common symbols in APL.
Just to clarify your statement, Milton visited Galileo whilst Galileo was under house arrest. When he was a young man Milton made a "Grand Tour" (though it probably wasn't called that for another century or so) through Italy, and (naturally) impressed everyone important with his erudition.

Milton's encounter with Galileo left an impression, as his case is given as an important example of the importance of free (even "heretical") speech in Aeropagetica.
More like in memory transformations you would do in pandas
So the spinal cord is only a wire and, besides reflexes, there is no processing done anywhere else, but the brain?

How about neurons in the gut, I've read somewhere that intestines are lined up with some neural "mesh". Is that only for signal transmission?
Thanks! On a side note, do you think that APL-like languages like J or K are less expressive because they don't use the alien symbols?
The linked URL was unexpected, but FWIW, the Persona series of games is noteworthy for exceptionally interesting story line and role playing elements.
Literally, the default router from the operator and it works flawlessly at home. It has several years that model, it works with HFC and literally has WiFi6. To me it looks the same model as 10 years ago. Why should i change it? I'm with you.
It is not fair. Fair is when you write resignation letter or receive a termination letter and continue to work for the next 3-6 months. That is fair!

As someone who was laid off by them last month as part of Weta Digital, not all of us were working on games stuff...

(and I do if I think of it as an 'impartial' observer think it's probably a 'good' thing for Unity to get back to its core business, however they shouldn't really have started swimming outside their lane in the first place to such a huge degree).
Can you ELI5 it?
It can be a nice stub for testing when integrating an API that doesn't have a sandbox environment.
You don't know that.

Cost cutting could have been a factor. Or the root cause might have been something entirely different.

It's quite possible to choose to spend more money on a process or method you believe is higher quality, but still discover it has some specific problem that the previous cheaper version didn't.
For the last year, yes, in all but one month the numbers ended up being revised down.

In 2022, there were slightly more months (7) with upward revisions than downward (5)

Ubiquity and Synology both give me the same feels when it comes to security. They focus on usability to be sure. Perhaps related, their new lighting system on the pro level routers is really slick and I wish I had it 20 years ago when I found myself in data centers on the regular.
data (the website) is being 'seen' by a model. training data is NOT the model. there is NO text from any website in any LLM model.

The website is not being copied to an internal model anywhere, it is being looked (processed through an LLM) at and trained on...

If you can find it on the (open and public facing) internet, then it's fair game to everyone (and everything) to 'see'.

Sure, I can see that; doesn't bother me personally in the least though as I just said "No" when it offered reminders/widgets/notifications/whatevers, so I don't think I ever heard of it as said or missing me or anything when I broke my streak.

They've been targeting land-based military (and industrial) targets in other countries. They've been fighting Saudi Arabia for maybe a decade, using a variety of drones/cruise missiles.

Their air force is a joke though. A single flying F-5 (vintage 1970), and some decrepit SU-22 Fitters with no range.

Also, those aren't "attack" helicopters. They're bog standard Mi-8 transport helicopters. You can use them to attack, but they're nothing like a Hind/Hokum/Havoc or Apache helicopter.
I'm pulling ~600 Mbps with their WiFi 6 offering. Feels like with enough clients on WiFi 7 it shouldn't be that hard to saturate 2.5 GbE.
I simply use imagebuilder and bake custom scripts in. Then whenever I can I flash the new configs.

I agree with the importance of consistency, but disagree with "Office and (Neo)Vim aren’t exceptional examples of UI, but they are uniquely stable."

Office is not stable, at least over the long term. The hated "ribbon" marked a sad departure from the "stable" and efficient Word UI, and Microsoft's clueless regressions across the Windows platform have compounded the problem. For example, the deletion of the menu bar from applications. WTF.
AGI must be comparable to humans' capabilities in most fields. That includes things like

• driving (at human level safety)

• folding clothes with two robotic hands

• write mostly correct code at large scale (not just leetcode problems), fix bugs after testing

• ability to reason beyond simple riddles

• perform simple surgeries unassisted

• look at a recipe and cook a meal

• most importantly, ability to learn new skills at average human level. Ability to figure out what it needs to learn to solve a given problem, watch some tutorials, and learn from that.
Been watching polars for a while. Look promising, would love to test it against spark some day. So much of our infra is on spark though so we’re probably just locked in forever.

I've been using restic to backup servers and my workstation (stored on rsync.net servers). There's a lot of recommendation around for borgbackup, which I found incredibly slow and buggy. The fact that it's a Python package doesn't help.

restic on the other hard is still incredibly slow, but ships as a single binary, and has served me well — during backups as well as restores.

I just wish backup tools shipped with standard systemd units, instead of having to copy, customize and stick into cron my hand-made /usr/local/bin/backup.sh script. Thank God for healthchecks.io that lets me know if backups stop working before it's too late.

Real-world performance is complicated since data science covers a lot of use cases.

If you're just reading a small CSV to do analysis on it, then there will be no human-perceptible difference between Polars and Pandas. If you're reading a larger CSV with 100k rows, there still won't be much of a perceptible difference.

Per this (old) benchmark, there are differences once you get into 10 million rows/500MB+ territory: https://h2oai.github.io/db-benchmark/
