It wasn't, it was an A320 as I expected.
"gendered languages" are languages where every noun has a gender, not just people. Polish is one of them, so I'm not sure where the confusion lies.
So, is there a compile step to catch all of the type errors (and hopefully to perform AOT optimization later)?
Hot take, but I'll bet this will become more epidemic as companies hire more for quotas rather than merit like they used to.
So how do group organisms work, there's an in-between where they "trust but verify," meaning lifelong cheaters or slackers eventually get screwed anyway? I know bees can kill their own queen under some circumstances.

Probably not going to happen. If someone was interested, they could have had it easy if they bought up Bombardier's CSeries aviation unit before Airbus did.
If you don't know what you are doing then better stay away from anything critical. There are 'stretch' bolts, bolts that are definitely not to be overstressed or they'll weaken and bolts that will cause damage to whatever they're bolted into if over torqued. Every workshop manual and every workshop process has specs for all fasteners.

It gets worse when bolts and part are of different materials (say: steel bolt in aluminum part), that's a very nice recipe for trouble (also in the long run, not just during assembly because oxidization will almost certainly occur on the interface and oxidized metal takes up more room than clean metal so unless you very explicitly protect against it the fasteners won't come out without massive damage to the part).

Does wiring bolts actually help? I feel like if a bolt is going to come loose enough such that the wire is all that is holding it in then you have a big problem already. The wire is just delaying the inevitable.

A bolt is either fastened or it isn’t. If the wire is all that’s left to hold it, then it isn’t fastened and your parts are being held together with a very weak piece of wire.
Yeah my bad. I thought it was YYYYMMDD.

If you have any evidence to the contrary, I would love to hear it because it would upend biology and modern medicine as we know it and we'd both win a Nobel prize.

As long as it's modern scientific evidence and not a 2,300 year old anecdote, of course.
Great question. We originally had some functionality that can do pull requests for our app, what makes sense instead is to:

1. move private wikis to wiki.mutable.ai (not app.mutable.ai)
2. restrict permissions for wiki github app to read only

Hope that explains things, we just wanted to launch as early as possible to get all the wonderful feedback from the HN community so we can bake it into Auto Wiki v2.
That’s not how evolution works. If you do reproduce at 90 then you are by definition capable and will pass those genes on. If that is beneficial your offspring will out-compete the offspring of others whose brains turn to mush.
It's definitely grifty. The shipfa.st copy makes it sound like you need it to build products so you too can make lots of money like he does. Except if you look at his website, the thing that makes all that money is.... shipfa.st.

It reminds me of people who sell classes using tales of their success, except all of their success comes from selling the classes in the first place.
That lock nut may not have lined up correctly for some reason and was backed off a bit to get the pin in? That could make it torqued under spec. But also, it doesn't look like that bolt clamps anything so it may not matter if it was a little "loose"..

And we have. The lifespan of the human individual past its reproductive prime is already impressive. The fact that we take care of our elders instead of just let them die suggest could be a evolutional spandrel but the fact that age and wisdom are associated (at least in "primitive" societies) is a testament to how much of cultural species we are, that is with an unprecedented ability to transmit knowledge necessary for our survival.
Immersion will absolutely get you speaking and listening fluency (with enough time). Reading and writing? That's another matter. If you're coming from a Latin alphabet language and trying to learn to read and write Chinese or Japanese then you've got a lot of study and practice ahead of you. Acquiring the knowledge of several thousand Chinese characters (needed for both languages) can only be done through deliberate study.

It's technically possible to make the recorder encrypt the recording in real time using asymmetric cryptography and a symmetric ratchet. Using a private key only the NTSB or some other agency would have, and create a legal framework where they need a court order to decrypt the ephemeral key and release it to investigators.

This will eliminate the possibility of your employer or some technician spying on you through this vector as it would require the government to also have a significant interest in a single case.

> Aren’t there counterexamples? How would Dresden be considered?

I would say that Dresden is not a counterexample. Every year on February 13, many Dresdeners gather on the Neumarkt to commemorate the destruction of the city on the Bombennacht (night of the bombings) in 1944. The spectacle polarizes German society. Right-wing revisionists like to point to the destruction of Dresden to portray Germany as a victim of the Second World War. But for many Dresdeners, this is actually a matter that is associated with personal grief because they lost family members in the bombing. As a result, the possible political implications of this culture of remembrance fade into the background for many Dresdeners. Dresden is therefore a good example of how people move closer together after extensive bombing and how this effect can last for 80 years.

We have almost no idea what biological neurons are doing, or why. At least we didn't when I got my PhD in neuroscience a little over 10 years ago. Maybe it's a solved problem by now.
Twice as good meaning that the cache miss rate is halved?

A standard homework problem in a computer architecture class is to work through the math on how marginal improvements to cache rates can provide dramatic performance improvements, due to the disparity in times of providing data from cache and from the source. Small improvements to caching are a big deal. I hadn’t heard of SIEVE but I’ve had to work more with traditional block cache strategies, where scans are intermixed with random access. LIRS works pretty well.

With the current state of reporting, I would expect those numbers to be revised down like they did for the last year or so.

It seems for the last year or two the numbers are revised down once or twice after they are released.
Readiness notification, like epoll, is not really suitable for file backed IO. A file on disk is not a FIFO that you can wait for data to be available; what would even mean for notification to be ready to read for a file fd? Consider that reads can be at any offset.

You need completion notifications instead (like IOCP or io_uring or POSIX aio). You could in principle start an async splice from an FD into a pipe and then poll for the pipe to be ready to read, but IIRC there is no async splice.

When I was a kid there were toy RC cars that had two controls, kind of like 1-axis joysticks. The left one pushed upward would cause the car to go forward, possibly with more or less power. The right one pushed to the right allowed turning to the right (but not the left, like Zoolander).

A consistent upgrade to this interface would be to allow reversing using the left control in a downward direction and turning left using the right control pushed to the left. An inconsistent application would be to have reverse on the right control pushed to the left and left turning on the left control pushed downward.

Inconsistencies across classes are not uncommon and probably understandable given various expectations. For example, the same handlebar steering control behaves very differently on a two-wheeled motorcycle compared to a tricycle.
There is a place in hell reserved for them.

Sadly, replacing the seats for ever thinner ones is much more costly than crushing my legs in economy. Or economy "plus", which is not much better.

At the individual and immediate progeny level, aging doesn't affect generation time. If there were group selection it might, as the older people displace resources for the younger, but for an individual that should be dilluted down to no real effect.

I've said it here before, but working with Boeing, every project might as well be a different company.
I think you're giving it too much credit for solving examples that are obviously wrong. Not only a non-expert but even most children know those pairings don't go together.

Given that the discussion in this post is around torquing to the right specifications, I don't know if just fine tuning is enough. It might need more serious training on videos of assembly. Even then, can it distinguish between the right torque or not from video?

I think it's interesting, but you should deliberately try to make it fail to see where the edges are. Like hold a wrench of the obviously wrong size next to a nut and ask if that will work. Force perspective so they look the same size. See if it will prevent you from mixing potentially dangerous chemical combinations.

I’m surprised they included the Esc key in the touchpad at least.

That was the deal breaker for me on Apple keyboards. I could deal with the F-keys being a touchscreen but I use Esc way too much for muscle memory to not work. In practice I remapped Caps Lock to Esc, but it was still a pain not having it in the right place.

I know I wasn’t the only one with this opinion. I thought touchbar Esc was a long acknowledged usability don’t at this point. Even Apple changed that one up pretty quickly.
> Your brain at 90 is mostly useless even if you're not afflicted with a serious condition. You can't learn and adapt

You are factually incorrect. You can, in fact, learn and adapt in your 90s. Sometimes (not always) the brain has degraded and can't do so as well, but that's a problem we should work to fix. And there is some evidence to suggest that cause and effect go in both directions there: if you keep learning and adapting your brain remains more capable of doing so.

People talking about longevity and improving lifespan are primarily not talking about having people go on for centuries looking and feeling like they're 90. They're talking about having people go on for centuries or longer looking and feeling like they're 50 or better. Many of the same things that make us age and die are also what make us have much worse health (physical and mental) in our 90s than in our 40s or 50s. Fixing those things will both help us live longer and help us be healthier for longer.
I found it helpful for reacquainting myself with vocabulary from a language I learned decades ago. I think it would also be helpful in learning the basics of a new language adjacent to that language (romance, in my case) before going on a trip. Beyond that, I’m not sure how useful it is on its own.
One potential line is a general purpose ai like chat gpt that can give instructions on how to produce genetically engineered viral weapons, for example. I find this improbable, but it's possible that a future LLM (or whatever) gets released that has this capability but isn't know to have that capability. Then you might have a bunch of independent actors making novel contagions in their garage.

That would still require a lot of equipment potentially but it's there.

Another possibility would be some kind of rogue agent scenario where the program and hide and distribute itself on many machines, and interact with people to get them to do bad things or give it money. I think someone already demonstrated one of the LLMs doing some kind of social engineering attack somewhere and getting the support agent to let them in. Not hard to imagine some kind of government funded weapon that scales up that kind of attack. Imagine whole social movements, terrorist groups, or religious cults run by an autonomous agent.
The fuselage of this plane is not built by Boeing. It could be an issue with the contractor, Spirit AeroSystems, who builds it. It could be an issue with some other final configuration procedure. We'll need to wait for the investigation to conclude.

It would be at least three different translations of the same sentence from English to any language with a grammatical gender. I hope you would experience how bad it is by yourself.
Are you a teenager, because this line thinking crosses into the territory of "I don't need a seatbelt, I'd just use my arms to stop my ass from getting flung out of the window, while having zero clue how physics works.

Do you think of the 6 million police reported auto crashes in 2022 (in the US if you're not from here) that most if not all the people involved would have rather not been in an accident in the first place?
Of course, while the user code side would look sync, the loom event scheduler would still need to implement the async file Io support.
"As a worm ages, the quality of its eggs or sperm declines — what we refer to as the ticking of a biological clock. The decline is also reflected in the germ cells’ changing ability to transmit signals from the brain’s mitochondria, he suggested. As the worm grows older, its germline transmits the repair signal less effectively, and so its body declines, too.

Scientists don’t yet know whether these findings apply to humans and how we age. Still, the hypothesis makes sense from a broader evolutionary standpoint, Dillin said. As long as the germ cells are healthy, they send pro-survival signals to ensure that their host organism survives to reproduce. But as the quality of the germ cells declines, there is no evolutionary reason to keep extending life span further; from evolution’s perspective, life exists to reproduce itself."

Curious what effect castration has on this mechanism.
> I've seen on Toyotas and also at Universal Studios bolts on rides are marked with paint presumably to indicate that the nut hasn't backed out.

This is also standard procedure for electrical maintenance inside distribution equipment. Every lug/termination is torqued to spec and then marked to indicate it has been torqued down. This should be done regularly to prevent any loose terminations from causing an arc flash.
I think the concern is more the attitude that allowed this to happen, despite all the issues Boeing has had.

Sadly, in reality, such "holding to account" almost certainly won't happen.

1) Congresspeople's voting can often be related to local selfish incentives - they support local industries because that's what their voters care about, irrespective of the bigger picture. There are myriad examples of this - Joe Manchin being in the pocket of the coal industry is an obvious one. In this particular case, Boeing claimed that the safety work requested by the FAA would place the 737 Max program itself (and therefore the jobs that depend on it) at risk. You could see this as democracy at work... but it's really democracy tainted by the influence of money and lobbying.

2) The 'adjustment' to the FAA's safety work was placed inside a much bigger bill, therefore obfuscating responsibility and even awareness.

3) In a highly-partisan, two-party system, it would have to be a highly emotionally-charged topic to push voters into voting tactically against their previous choice. Roe vs. Wade might be big enough for some people, but I doubt that something as small as this would do so.

--

That aside, the idea that the current system is protected by the ability of voters to 'hold their representative to account' every two or so years is surely crazy:

a) such accountability (if it ever happens) has up to a two-year lag - far from acceptable given the current example related to aircraft safety (which should be noted and reversed as a matter of urgency)

b) even if such accountability transpired, is it realistic to expect that a newly-elected replacement Congressperson could reverse the previous wrong? Highly unlikely.
I can't even fathom what it would cost to ride an Apple airplane, coach.
7s and 10s aren’t out in the wild yet. Only 8s and 9s.
What is your definition for AGI that isn't already met? Computers have already been superior to average humans in a variety of fields since the 90s. If we consider intelligence as the ability to acquire knowledge, then any "AGI" will be "ASI" in short order, therefore I make no distinction between the two.
Amazing response, thanks for taking the time - concise, clear, and I don’t think I’ll be using that comparison again because of you. I see now how much more convincing mathematical models are than philosophical arguments in this context, and why that allows modern climate-change-believing scientists to dismiss this (potential, very weak, uncertain) cogsci consensus.

In this light, widespread acknowledgement of xrisk will only come once we have a statistical model that shows it will. And at that point, it seems like it would be too late… Perhaps “Intelligence Explosion Modeling” should be a new sub-field under “AI Safety & Alignment” — a grim but useful line of work.
