There are huge portions of the USA that have no cell coverage. Often the kinds of places that people go to hike and explore - and also places that people sometimes get injured. I'm sure that's true in many other countries as well. I know people who volunteer for search & rescue teams, and they all universally believe that this kind of thing definitely will save lives.

The smart thing to do if you were going somewhere remote would be to have a sat phone. But, 1) they cost money, 2) we know there's a lot of people that don't think ahead or think that bad things will happen to them and 3) a lot of people are simply ignorant about the lack of cell coverage in these places, and just assume they'll be able to call for help if they need it. By the time they figure out that they were wrong about the coverage, they're too committed to turn around and go back.

Right, you are correct. Corporations have adapted and don't make such blatant calculations anymore. With seat belts, or gas tanks, in 70's. There were actual actuaries that did the exact calculations, what would manufacturing cost, what percentage of accidents would result in lawsuits, what are estimated payouts. And they actually did the math to balance cost to produce to lives.

But they got into a lot of trouble that they were doing those calculations.

Now it is more subtle, everyone has budgets to hit, there are deadlines, production quotas. And with Just In Time Manufacturing, and local 'ownership'. Some Blackbelt consultant convinces the local managers to 'optimize'. And of course, they start cutting corners. No real calculation, just constant pressure to cut.

A couple of notes:

1. If you must have an IoT device, favor zigbee.

2. Put your IoT devices on a segmented network that you've throttled. IoT devices neither need nor deserve privileged network access.

3. Probably don't use a consumer grade router if you know how to monitor network traffic.

4. That all being said, it feels unlikely that an IoT device would be exposed on a properly configured router to anything beyond vendor spyware.
It's such a shame Iridium flares are no longer a thing. The ISS is in the sky a bit too long really. I've showed people and they thought it was a plane (despite telling them a planes lights would flash). A good Iridium flare was unmistakable though and quite the arresting sight.

The last one I be tried to look for would have been perfect. It was supposed to happen on a friend's wedding night. It happened but was thoroughly unimpressive. I found out soon after the satellites were in the process of being decommissioned and flares were no longer happening as predicted. By now they're all gone and we just get boring objects like the Starlink satellites.
He says peer review is for the authors, but I think science being peer reviewed is one of the key points used to convince the public to trust scientific results.

where things seem to really go wrong with peer review is when entities outside a scientific community want to use published research to set public policy, decide where to invest, or make high-stakes hiring decisions.

doing this actually requires a costly investment in deep understanding of the research and the literature around it, to know if it is sound and high-impact. but nobody wants to make this investment, and they've mostly convinced themselves that just free-riding off peer review is good enough.

of course it is not, flawed papers make it through peer review all the time. also this outside use of peer review introduces extremely strong distorting incentives -- an even hugely greater desire to be published in specific prestigious outlets -- in the face of which peer review is not really adequate to catch misconduct.

I think the ideal form of peer-reviewed journal is unfortunately logically impossible: its contents would be completely open access, costing nothing for scientists who want to build on the results. But it would require an extremely expensive subscription to find out who has published in it, the money going to fund extremely thorough peer review, so that outside decision-makers can't try to free ride and distort the incentives.

Great question & post!

I am definitely working on nothing (outside of my normal day job, of course).

I used to work a normal day job and then in the evenings and weekends work furiously on side projects. One of those side projects became a business that while still around today, is probably getting shut down this year due to failure to generate revenue that exceeds its relatively minimal costs. In other words, the business failed.

That business failing despite 3+ years of nights and weekends, and a significant chunk of my own money, is ONE reason why I struggle to find enthusiasm for new projects.

Another reason is something similar to yours which is that I am focusing on myself more these days. Mind, body, and spirit. I am taking more time to focus on things I enjoy rather than embracing a constant feeling that I need to do MORE. I work my day job and I try to be an excellent contributor there, but I've accepted that it doesn't seem like my path in life is going to be a tech entrepreneur. I just don't have what it takes to build something truly novel and unique enough to drive revenue, nor do I have the marketing and personal skills required to take something mediocre and generate sales.

That might sound like I'm giving up, and to a degree it is, but its more like I'm accepting reality. I don't think I was meant for that life and I'm learning to be ok with it. That means dropping all the side projects and constant hustle and just embracing life. Spending more time with family, working out more, and generally just chilling for a while (it's been a couple years).

At times this manifests as a mid life crisis where I worry that my time is running out and that I haven't accomplished my goals. I'm learning how to recognize these emotions and let them pass without disturbing me too much. It's definitely a skill and one that I am by no means an expert at.

On that note it's also worth pointing out that many of these feelings are common to people in their mid 30s. It's a time where I'm learning to re-evaluate what is important to me. I've accomplished a lot of my goals, and accepted some were foolhardy. Now I find that I should just learn to live well and appreciate what I have and who I am, rather than focusing on what I don't have, and who I am not.

I taught this way during the last part of Covid for a few courses and it doesn't work well. I am forced to stand (sometimes sit) in a single location, for a long time while I am writing. Its much harder to motivate students and keep them engaged in such a static manner. You need to move around the class, see the class from different perspectives [1]. You are alive, the students are alive.

Also, you can't get students to come up to the board when using these fancy ipads and such. In my opinion, just video recording a blackboard lecture is the correct way to go.

[1] You often don't see confused students from one vantage point. Walking around, that you do naturally while using a black/whiteboard or even when using slides lets you do that.

It's not engineering negligence. It's the process that is supposed to implement the design.

That said, it's also a goal of engineering to make the process easier. One such technique is to design things in patterns. Then, if something doesn't fit the pattern, attention is easily drawn to it to investigate the problem. Design things so that when they look right, they are right. For example, look at the line of rivets holding an assembly together. They should form a nice neat pattern.

I try to write software the same way. I lay out the code in patterns. Anything that looks out of place in the pattern draws attention as being a mistake.
Physicists have been using preprint servers for decades, which means anyone can put a paper on the internet for everyone in the field to read and evaluate. So this idea that Copernicus would be suppressed under the current system is absurd. Einstein and Bohr's ideas passed peer review, as radical as they were. Every physicist is hoping for data that contradict our current theories. It was a huge disappointment when the only result of the LHC was to confirm the standard model.

For all the flaws of academic publishing, we are still in a much better place than when church dogma was the gatekeeper of knowledge.
I'm going off what the NTSB said, you're citing Reddit and developing your own interpretation of a diagram you do not understand.

When you pull the door closed, the stops on the door are ABOVE and BEHIND the ones on the fuselage. The door then slides DOWN to lock it into place. So under pressure the tabs on the door push AGAINST the ones on the fuselage. The bolts prevent the vertical motion to unlatch the door and do not carry any pressurization load.

> they are the elements that provide the tensile strength counteracting the pressure in the cabin.

There are NO bolts here carrying tensile loads, shear loads only.

It is far too early to say there’s some ethics convention for not using ML models to write peer reviews.

If you used a machine to write your peer review, you’ve staked your reputation on its output being correct (in the same way that you stake your reputation on not producing bullshit peer reviews, which is to say… eh, probably not a make-or-break thing but it is in the mix). So you need to check the output. That’s the skill we as a society value.

We don’t employ scientists for their literature skills, but for their ability to build and evaluate theories and data, that sort of thing. And hey, less brainpower remembering grammar rules means more for the study of science. This is good.

Some people will torpedo their careers by putting too much faith in the ML model, but the way to avoid being them is to apply the same level of diligence to the model’s output as any other tool.

I’m more worried that ML models will enable some continued silliness. There’s something odd going on if people type their actual arguments into an ML model, then it produces extra necessary filler text to get into a journal, then we use ML models to review that text and hope to distill it to the actual arguments, and then the general public again uses ML models to do the same. It seems like we’d just be better off sharing the prompts or something, hahaha.

That's another lesson from my first couple years of management, but then what does "merit" even mean? Within the context of my organization I'm doing fine. By market norms? Pretty sure I make more than a "good" manager at a small or medium-size company. By the happiness of those around me? I think my employer is generally a pretty miserable place to work, but my team seems generally happier than many of the other peer teams within the company, so within my sphere of control I seem to be doing okay there too. Besides, I care about the happiness of my family more than my company, and doing well at the arbitrary-and-kinda-pointless metrics set for me lets us afford a house in a nice area, a good education for the kids in a healthy social environment, and hopefully soon more time with them.

The cost of solar dropped by 90% between 2010 and 2020, and the cost of panels fell by 14% last year. Batteries were just straight up not a thing until 2019: California's grid-scale battery storage capacity has been doubling every year since then.

StackOverflow questions down 66% in 2023 when compared to 2020

2019 - 1,744,299
2020 - 1,904,694
2021 - 1,445,042
2022 - 1,278,496
2023 - 633,163 (which is a 66% decrease from 2020)

I am often in these threads on HN arguing in defense of the underdog (array languages); I do tend to agree with you here. I think the early days of APL (and Prolog) were that they were high level casually-typed REPL based interpreted languages, in a world of Fortran, PL/1, COBOL and C, and the amazing nature of them back then is stuff we take for granted writing items=[1,2,3] and lookup={'key':'value'} in Python and not worrying about allocating and freeing memory or pre-declaring the variables and their types, the string length, and compiling, and whatever.

Still, there is a fun about a desk calculator on so many steroids that it's a Turing-complete programming language. One of the ArrayCast podcast guests said array languages were "like a Domain Specific Language (DSL) with an enormously wide domain". How many mainstream languages will let you fork and hook and have inverses and over and under and recursively descend into anonymous functions, without ceremony or boilerplate code? You could have that now to play with, without waiting for it to go mainstream, just by learning a two or three dozen unfamiliar glyphs - compare that to the effort of learning a whole new framework for making web applications and it's much smaller.
Uhhh, alright.

> Allowing to fire people because of their political views is a very fine line.

You can hold whatever political views you want. But people want only the positive results of broadcasting their political views and none of the negative. One might want to change the law so short people can't vote -- so they broadcast that view far and wide to make that consequence happen. But then why should that person be completely sheltered from any negative consequences of trying to affect that change.

The fact is that social pressure is generally what keeps us from falling into barbarism. Can it be abused? Sure. Anything can be abused. Even what you're suggesting can and is being abused.

Absolutely. And most things most people work on today are complex. To do my job I need to understand 100 different things. Not a single one is difficult. But to explain it in simple terms simply isn't possible because it's not 1 or 2 big things.

When people explain things in simple terms, they are often either borderline lying, or tucking an exceptionally large tree of concepts under a single word or phrase.

> Another one of his points is that people who have not learned traditional programming find array-based programming much easier to pick up.

I have had the same experience when teaching SQL.

I feel like it is difficult for people who have worked with imperative languages to grasp, while people who come from the Excel school (e.g. business people or researchers) actually enjoy it and may even pick it up faster.

I believe SQL and array languages have this and probably much more in common. I am probably out of my league here, but I think I'd call SQL a set language rather than array language. But feels like they are related.
