> Does wiring bolts actually help?

There's different kinds of bolts that get wired, with different kinds of goals and results.

My only experience is wiring bolts according to the rules for club racing motorcycles.

Some things, like oil sump drain bolts for example, wiring them will stop them backing out so far as to fall our, and while it will probably weep oil if it loosened enough to take ups the writing slack, it wouldn't dump all the oil out quickly.

Other things, like axle bolts, if it backs out enough to take up the wire slack, it'll have lost its clamping pressure and that's bad, but not immediately catastrophic. The major axle loads are all in shear so the wheel won't fall off, it'll just get more floppy than it's supposed to be. Long term it'd be bad and cause wear to the point that something would eventually fail, but it'd get you to the end of the race most likely, and hopefully the rider will have felt something odd and gone looking or a post race inspection would have caught it.
Russian cruise missiles (true ones, not Shahed drones) are not cheap. Kalibrs cost around $6 million USD, KH-101s around $13 million. And both are quite accurate. The issue the Russians are facing isn't inaccurate cruise missiles, but a lack of accurate targeting data (combined with wanting to use them in terror attacks as opposed to degrading Ukraine's military capabilities.)

You can easily achieve a 500 dollar Dota PC if you're willing to buy used. I bought a 5600x / 32GB RAM / RTX 3070 PC for 550 USD a bit ago.
One interesting thing I had a sense of but only recently could put it into words, in regards to aging-degradation-disease progression, is that there is an inherent mechanism to prune off population that isn't emotional (and perhaps including spiritually) healthy, e.g. there is research that shows that if anger (or any emotion) is being suppressed, then the immune system is also suppressed - meaning more likely to succumb to potential harms of various dis-ease states.
Can you provide some context here for those who aren't familiar with the founder or what this link article is about?

> gray out menu items that are not appropriate

Don't do this unless it is obvious why it is grayed out. Commands should be left enabled, then an error message should be displayed when the command is clicked and the command is unavailable, and in this case explain why it is presently unavailable. It is frustrating to the user to figure out why a command is disabled. The only time to not leave commands enabled is if the user is likely to end up wasting a lot of time only to be told at the end that the command is unavailable.

Update: Read more about this in this article:

Also, don't forget that recently you got an offer that came with basically a two-level demotion.
Pretty big stretch to compare a massive disruption to the medium with a massive disruption to the content. The press is far closer to the web than generative content. The output from AI is closer to the unibomber's manifesto, and the only entity calling for burning detractors at the stake is vested-interest individuals like you, and AI itself.
The report from Al Jazeera in 2014[1] about Boeing's assembly line for the 787 was pretty damning, workers were complaining exactly about quality control issues, Cynthia Cole was at Boeing for 32 years as an engineer and she mentions in the report she wouldn't fly on the 787.

So conditions at the plant in North Charleston haven't looked very good for almost 10 years...

If your offspring does not survive to reproduce, your genetic lineage disappears, therefore ‘failed’. Others who do not kill their offspring will survive and the species will therefore not exhibit that behavior nor enjoy the benefits of that behavior.
I’ve had two die and then I read using an SSD helps a lot with the heat issue. Replaced the HDD with an SSD and temp is a cool 45C now down from high 50’s with HDD. YMMV but figured I’d add my anecdotal experience.
I did a fair amount of my master's degree in computer science online. With that being said, it wasn't very easy. The tests were legit. The classes were "pre-recorded" by the instructor, but every year had new recordings. We were able to ask questions in an online forum and/or via messaging with the teacher or the TA.

It felt like my undergraduate studies. It sounds to me like schools have gotten a bit softer and/or your school is really bad.

With that being said, take it for what it is if you don't have any other options. Dive deep into your textbooks, learn as much as you can, look into outside resources, keep on coding. You'll come out better on the other end of it.
There's a lot of cool work being done on embodied intelligence -- what makes you think that 76 years wouldn't be enough to create an embodied agent with relevant in-built constraints?
War risk insurance absolutely exists.

Do you think it’s possible for a company to do it on a large enough scale to become useful? I think that this idea is only feasible via crowdsourcing like sponsorblock and dearrow.
> The only long-range weapons Russia has launched thousands of are the Iranian-made long-range suicide drones.

They've also used lots of (mostly, IIRC, air launched) ballistic missiles and (conventional) cruise missiles. The reason there have been deep strikes by Ukraine on Russian bomber bases are because those bombers were used to fire long range missiles into Ukraine.

Though the “suicide drones”, while designed as loitering munitions, are basically used as propeller driven cruise missiles rather than in a loitering role.
Interestingly, because your program runs on Linux and is run 5 times, Linux will almost certainly cache the 12gb file to RAM on the first invocation.

This means that future invocations don't have to load the file from disk. This also makes it pretty critical that your program doesn't use more than 16gb of ram itself (out of the server's 32gb) or it'll push the file out of cache making future invocations of your program slower.
You can run the software yourself pretty much anywhere, mine is running in a freebsd jail on a truenas box.
Just had all my connections cancelled. So extra day in San Fran for me which is less than ideal, but probably better than being on the flight if something happens.

It was total bedlam at the airport when I got in this morning however. With almost no flights available to replace the grounded ones.

Another red eye special for me tonight but at least no connections.
Israel’s navy is geared towards patrolling their territorial waters. They’re not really set up for expeditionary operations like suppressing shipping attacks hundreds of miles from home.
This effect, which I can confirm in more than set of friends, is one of the most annoying aspects of aging. I'd rather gossip about the cheer leaders or the football players than listen to people talk about procedures. I certain have a lot more aches and pains but I don't care to let my attention linger on them.
Not used it for a year or two (got to a 365-day streak then decided to stop).

What annoyed me most was they became one of "those" companies that goes to extreme lengths to make themselves impossible to contact (except for billing issues) - they closed all their forums, and you can endlessly search for a contact form, email address, phone number etc. and you'll find nothing.
So that should be enough motivation for business to gently encourage the Houthis to reconsider this kind of livelihood.
I use Ubiquiti throughout my 90+ year old home, with multiple AC Pros. During the heart of the pandemic I had four people in my house, all Zoom'ing or streaming video at the same time, all on WiFi, with no issues.

I don't really know why I would need anything newer.
Funny thing, I complained and complained and complained and they quietly rolled out full-offline zero cloud required UniFi and Protect IOS direct connection support starting about three months ago. I doubt my complaining helped specifically, but there were many people on the same threads so maybe they got the hint?
Seems like an easy upgrade path from our current U6-Pros.

We have experienced issues where some Windows WiFi chips doesn't seem to integrate that well, and have bad performance.

The role of astrocytes in neural computation is an example. For a long time, the assumption was that astrocytes were just "maintenance" or structural cells (the name "glia" comes from "glue"). Thus, they were not included in computational models. More recently, there is growing recognition that they play an important role in neural computation, e.g. https://picower.mit.edu/discoveries/key-roles-astrocytes
I have a subscription to both Duolingo and Memrise. Memrise I always struggled to get into even I initially felt it was useful. since their latest relase they've gone totally into the whole AI thing and the app is asking me to watch free youtube videos as part of the lesson that it selects for me. Totally useless.

As for Duolingo it has invested too much in gamification / addiction. If you compete in tournaments you can spend around 1-3 hours every day "competing" yet your skills won't improve much. That means spending money to waste your time. In that case it's better to just stick with the regular lessons. Duolingo definitely suffers from "enshitification" and next year subscription I'll downgrade to free-tier because it's just stupid.

IRL I signed up for 2 hour lessons twice a week. They are group activities that are not very intense but coupled with my homework bring me quicker to where I need to be. Plus they're a lot of fun, and I've made contacts IRL too.

Language apps are just stupid.
I understood this as a showcase of the features that PWAs can use, and I think it does a pretty good job at that.

Do I understand your second point correctly? The feature demo is failing at being a feature demo because it demoes some features that you don't like?

Deliberate or not, the NHTSA and automakers have found a symbiotic relationship where mandatory safety requirements become integral to a planned obsolescence sales cycle. Cars are more reliable and longer lasting than ever, but safety features mean many people feel compelled to buy a new car much sooner than they might have 30 or 40 years ago. Automakers negotiate with the NHTSA to set mandatory safety feature timelines so that features can work their way from luxury models down over the course of several years. By the time a features becomes mandatory, it's already been milked as a sales differentiator, and trickled down into most if not all car models.

I don't know if such a state of affairs is possible with the aircraft or airline industries. Those industries are too rational, whereas the expense of safety features in the consumer automobile market is in part quietly covered by arguably irrational consumer spending habits.
Can you give just a single example of these 5%?
In this case the consistency is between what you learned to drive in, and the car you use now.

Maybe don't casually call something slavery when it clearly isn't.
One thing I've heard here in HN, is that people LOVE to complain and bemoan their situation, and willingly abrogate their power and choices to some inanimate policies and corporate choices.

The GP's comment was that they were effectively 'slave' to a skinner box, and even recognized it. And yet, refusal to do anything about it.

I see it again and again. The answers are there, and a bit harder, but yeah.
Most likely they were either not installed properly in the first place, or there is some kind of design flaw.

I gave up on their controller software and rolled out OpenWRT to the Unifi AP AC lites at my previous job. I didn't try managing them centrally (there were only 5 of them) so I don't know if there are any good options for that.

The difference was night and day. The guest networks actually worked. They had uptimes of over a year without issue.

Sadly only _some_ Unifi AP models are supported by OpenWRT. Check before you buy. I use GL.inet stuff where possible now.
SM-2ER are the majority of Standard missiles packed on USN ships. SM-6 is really intended to replace them since it can defend against ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and serve as a hypersonic ASBM. But it's expensive, so the SM-2 will soldier on, backed up by the SM-3 in the ABM role.

And the production capacity can easily be ramped up if there's enough funds.

You accumulate CO2 via CaO and then release it via heat provided from the thermal system to go back to CaO. The CO2 is then turned into hydrocarbons. Closed loop. The infrastructure is already in place for hydrocarbons at least until we get to a hydrogen infrastructure. Then you can carbon capture till your heart's content.
As an interesting comparison to your A320 video, it looks like the A320neo overwing exits are now outward-opening instead of plug-style: https://youtu.be/VhiYfyE3Vps?si=FuKeNfpd1pD4sgc_&t=47
I think human extinction due to climate change is extremely unlikely. However, civilization collapsing is bad enough. We can't be certain whether or not that will actually happen but we do know it will if we do nothing. We even have a pretty good idea when, that's not too late yet, and we have an actionable scientific consensus about what to do about it.

In many ways AI risk looks like the opposite. It might actually cause extinction but we have no idea how likely that is and neither do we have any idea how likely any bad not-quite-extinction outcome is. The outcome might even be very positive. We have no idea when anything will happen and the only realistic plan that's sure to avoid the bad outcome is to stop building AI, which also means we don't get the potential good outcome, and there's no scientific consensus about that (or anything else) being a good plan because it's almost impossible to gather concrete empirical evidence about the risk. By the time such evidence is available, it might be too late (this could also have happened with climate change, we got lucky there...)
One of the last contracts I worked, they provided such awful hardware that the company and employees ended up BYOD. Not enough memory for a modern IDE to start up levels of awful.

As the project ramped down they ended up having to buy an iMac off of us. Someone stopped using it and before the case even got cold I had installed a CI build agent on it to run Karma tests. Which ended up being invaluable but also never managed to get replaced with a real piece of hardware. So they just dragged that thing around as the project went into maintenance.

Unless you consider all people you ever talk to for tutors, I think that statement is a, well, stretch.

In language learning you rarely learn alone from you tutor. The same is the case here: I also watch videos, movies, listen to music, practice pronunciation on friends, etc. Justlike you would with a human tutor.

In any normal deployment, you're probably not going to be pushing even a 1.5gbps through these during heavy use. The real benefit of 7E is reduced latency, not bandwidth.

If you need high throughput, they and other vendors sell that.

There are tons of 10gbps PoE switches on the market.
It's a very different thing between firing an employee immediately and cutting out access. You can still cut out access without firing the employee. And in many case, it could be a wise thing to do.

> If you mean the last year, is that pace maintainable?

That is the question, though I'd turn it around on you - over the course of human history, the speed of progress has been ever-increasing. As AI develops, it is itself a new tool that should increase the speed of progress. Shouldn't our base case be the assumption that progress will speed up, rather than to question whether it's maintainable?
They won't help us change our minds though. The problem with having people in their 90's capable of the same things as people in their 30's is that they'd hold positions of power longer. Old ideas would live on much longer
It would be perfectly legal that a million government agents went it coffee shops and recorded what they heard. It is the leaving of government property on private property that is the real issue, as well as transparency... not access of information (please don't do this my government).

As far as the savant reading all the books analogy goes... it's a bit off base - mostly because the AI isn't attempting to do that... it would have to be prompted specially (which as far as I understand - what's happening: people giving verbose special prompts to 'extract' copyright... which again... extract - the verbiage regenerate is better, considering there's no guarantee the generation will be a perfect reproduction...) to generated that information. What is happening, (fixing the analogy) the savant reads all the books in the library: then someone asks him to generate a brand new book... which contains some passages that happen to be like those in copy-written works... this is 100% interoperable to what human writers do all the time. Why would we ever want to punish an AI for reading and remembering better than us?

On top of that imperfect reproduction is the sale as if it's the original... that's a lot of additional assumptions to make...

Sadly the lossless compression is also a bad analogy. Math maps and 100% translatable and thus not change/encoding to the bits... if you compresses it lossy, to the point of doing it artistically, then... if none of the bits are the same - it's not the same picture, and doesn't hold any 'bit' of the old image.

Good reply!
The higher wireless link speed is probably more useful for reducing the amount of radio traffic in time (a set amount of data transmitted will happen in a shorter time)

Managing (somewhat reluctantly) wifi in a multi tenant office building was frustrating because of all of the competing traffic, I’m just guessing that higher speeds means move overall traffic across the spectrum in noncoordinated environments.
That's because there are basically no reviews. I'm more interested in making stuff than telling people about it.

But you're right, since there are so few reviews, I could definitely decrease the zoom level required to load the reviews.

1. I would say probably better C# support? The Phone Simulator and Play Mode Options are nice too. But other than that most of the improvements come from 3rd party libraries.
