One peculiar thing about frameworks within which state agencies operate, unless they are pure authoritarian vehicles to “make it so” for pretty much anything a power figure asks, is that they have a ruleset within which they operate. They can do no less, but they can also do no more, even if the spirit of the issue calls for it.

So you can make them do more by initiating a legislative process, complete with campaigning and lobbying, which is quite expensive and time-sucking for your average Joe Concerned Frequent Flyer Kowalski.

On the other hand, your friendly neighborhood Seattle company that makes planes can do just the same, except that they can afford to retain lobbyists, their board members are well connected, their C-suite play golf and have dinners with the right people. And they have power to push rules such that will make FAA’s reach effectively toothless, and do it quickly if need be.

That of course assuming that corruption in the FAA itself does not exist and that they indeed are doing what they can.
O haha, yeah, that one is super mind bending. I heard a riddle that used that trick once about people being able to leave an island when they know what their eye color is. It's super cool because it feels like you're basically embedding memory into a purely logical expression, since you're allowed to assume that all the islanders (or in the case above, diners) are perfectly logical, and therefore by logic alone a counter of sorts emerges.

Not sure if I explained that part well, but I can write the riddle somewhere and share it one day, since it needs to be explained more precisely to demonstrate this N-people effect.
Whenever I feel like something is more fan service than contributing something original, I use a couple of mental models: pilgrim vs tourist

But also canon vs fan fiction

Do you think villaneuve's dune is more fan service / tourism? Is it adding anything new to the world of dune?

(As much as I enjoyed it and want the answer to be "yes it's adding something," I'm worried the answer is no)
According to Stack Overflow developer survey[0], Angular is used by ~20% professional respondants (for comparison, React is ~43%).

Personally if I'm building a full SPA I prefer Angular over React as I find the opinionated way takes a lot of the thinking and troubleshooting away. I've worked with large React codebases and without the opinionation they quickly devolve into spaghetti code with a multitude of libraries trying to solve the same problems just in slightly different ways.

I've tried NextJS but with each release they seem to add more complexity and the niceities that attracted me there in the first place get overshadowed by bugs and continously having to refactor because "there's a new, better way of doing things".

I'm hopeful that with the recent releases of Angular (performance; standalone components; signals being some of the main ones) will help increase popularity again but it may be that Reacts popularity keeps it on a positive spiral upward.

Absolutely, Richard Rhodes's book is a gem. You not only read about the Manhattan project, you read about the entire history of Europe between 1900 and WW2, with a bit more focus on quantum physics developments.

More specifically about the Japan's atomic program, I found "Atomic Adventures" by James Mahaffey to give a slightly better coverage. Bonus: you will also understand the origin of the UFOs. Bonus 2: you'll get a very funny/sad first hand account of the first cold fusion debacle.

Other galaxies are too far away for us to have any way to view them from a significantly different angle -- the solar system is tiny compared to the size of galaxies and the distance between them.

How does the voyager article relate to this study? It looks like voyager just got far enough away from the sun to detect something in our galaxy that was hard to see from earth due to being drowned out by the sun, and the rest is hidden by a paywall.
> The new syntax here is what's to the right of the `.`; what's to the left is old syntax.

Absolutely nothing precluded extending the new syntax to swallowing / obviating the `.`.
787 was announced in 2003, and the first shipment was in 2012. Obviously we have no idea what the extent of work was prior to the announcement.

A220 was officially launched in 2008 (with like 3-5 more years of some degree of development prior to that) and first delivery was in 2016.

A350 was officially launched in 2004 and first delivery was 2014.

Expecting 8-12 years would be reasonable.
GPT Analytics – The missing piece in GPT Store for creators
I’ve just finished reading Flying Blind by Peter Robison (recommended elsewhere on HN recently), which had engineers arguing that the plane’s flight characteristics in extremis were not acceptable, and that the correct fix was by physical redesign, not software.

Another point the book made was that since nearly every other modern aircraft has far more advanced avionics, it causes the issue of pilots who are used to computers handling a lot of tasks suddenly having to do that themselves. This is probably not as much an issue with carriers who solely use 737s, like Southwest, but I can definitely see the issue otherwise.
The most infamous incident with a cockpit window is probably British Airways Flight 5390. An incorrectly installed window blew out, causing one of the pilots to be partially ejected.

> STR is not a prefix but simply the name of the variable referencing the receiver

That is THE problem. You can use StringBuilder more easily than this ugly thing. When you write code in IDE (I hope so), writing `.append()` is actually easier than this `\{}` dreadful thing.

> It is being escaped, and so reading it as being escaped is the correct and intended understanding. Just like `\n` or `\t`, `\{` means that the next character has a special meaning, as it always does in Java. There was no need to introduce yet another escape sequence; the old one works just fine.

But what about the `}` after the expression? Who/what is escaping that? It should make it clear that this is a special syntax that does some special things. `\` is sort of universal escape character. Putting it in here feels wrong. Again, that's me (along with some other), and you definitely can disagree.
Pink-Painted Art Deco Country Home Still Wows Nearly 100 Years Later
I wholeheartedly agree. They need to get an aerospace engineer back at CEO and not some MBA optimizing for quarterly reports.

People are absolutely dying because of an incoherent understanding of the value chain. The decision to outsource may please Wall Street for three months but it certainly hurts the brand in the long term. Boeing is in the business of R&D and production. That’s their value add. Fuck the investors, they’re literally killing people!
I created a similar product almost 10 years ago, I had a provisional patent filed and showed it off to some very nice and smart people at Thermo Fisher. I wanted to license the patent to people that actually know how to build laboratory equipment (I don’t hold a higher degree in anything). I should’ve continued trying to license but they convinced me that was the wrong move.

I formed a company and got $50k in grant money from the state of Wisconsin along with incubator space and advisors. I did all the initial software and hardware development, the first one I built took components from a battery powered toothbrush to inductively charge so I didn’t need a charging port exposed to solutions.

I loved working on this project, I had the idea after having frustrating experiences working with 30 year old lab equipment that took up more bench space in the lab than my backpack did. At the end of the day that’s all it was. I had no idea wtf I was doing and the company eventually folded as real life became too much to juggle with my project. I figured I could use the same form factor to build tons of different sensors based on the many different ion selective electrodes already on the market. Eventually I needed to try and manufacture these sensors myself in a form factor that would fit inside flasks in the lab.

Letting this project fall by the wayside is probably the single greatest regret of my life. I often think back about how different things could’ve turned out if only I had made the correct decisions and executed properly and actually found someone to license my patent… so it goes.

IANAL. I think this varies by jurisdiction, usually about wiretapping laws. Some places are single-party consent (i.e. if you're a party in the meeting, you have the right to record), but others require all party consent (i.e. you must inform your manager you're recording).

Edit: This comment was written when the original comment was just "Would it hurt them to use ${x} instead of \{x}?"

This is covered in the article under "Alternatives", in the section beginning with:

> For embedded expressions in string templates, we considered adopting the ${...} syntax from the Java EE Expression Language (EL) rather than \{...}. However, this would force developers to escape every $ sign in the literal text of a string template while continuing to write $ without escapes in string literals and text blocks. This inconsistency could all too easily lead to errors.

...

> With the syntax we have chosen, frameworks can ease migration by providing a template processor that understands EL syntax. Developers can continue using ${...} while also having access to the Java environment via \{...}:

I can imagine several reasons you might struggle to find a job, especially in the current market.

One reason I will call hubris, evident from your post. Your background in psychology may inform you that people who have put more than four years into (for example) software development may not appreciate someone with less experience calling themselves an expert. I expect that would go for relationship counselors, somnologists and neurologists, musicians, actual rocket scientists.

I can't speak to your actual expertise or abilities, but your self-description reads like a case study of the Dunning-Kruger effect. You can think about why potential employers might find that overall impression off-putting and hard to believe without more evidence.

Businesses recruit and hire people who can add value and solve problems. You have to sell yourself as a fit for the organization, and someone who can add value, right away. In the absence of objective metrics of competence (the case with software development for the most part) employers tend to look at experience, track record, reputation. They probably won't give a lot of weight to self-assessments like you offer, or hearsay opinions of college professors.

Did you actually try your cinema prompt recently? I just asked my pixel phone "tell me showtimes for aquaman in Berlin" and it immediately opened an overview of cinemas with showtimes for the Aquaman movie today with options to buy the ticket.

Same for the weather prompt someone else posted above and contrary to their experience it showed me exactly what I expected.

I'm a bit confused if those examples are something that didn't work in the past or if it's something that somehow doesn't work properly in the US right now.
They should give this test to old drivers, too! (And I say that speaking as a senior citizen.)
This is primarily an interpolation proposal.

AFAIK C++ requires explicit formatting (even if it's compile-time verified), and Rust only has extremely restricted interpolation (you can only interpolate variables, it does not support expressions, and you still have to use formatting macros for interpolation to trigger).
The question is inability of ChatGPT to do logical reasoning. Multiplying numbers is a simple test to prove this.

The same with coding: it can produce code for tasks where something similar was in training dataset, but if you ask to do completely unknown problem - it will fail.
That's interesting - I have always treated the first 3-6 months as a period to make sure the person is a fit and is ramping at the right speed, and letting them go if there is an issue within that period makes way more sense to me than keeping them on to struggle for a year. It's not a greater red flag for me to see someone got fired two months in than a year and a half in - in fact, the year and a half would cause me to ask a lot more questions.
But I am not sure what else he could have said to claim this may not be as bad as it looks to save face; or to remind people that the video is but one slice of all facts and any black-and-white judgement one may make solely from it may be imperfect or unfair to parties involved. He did accept blame that they did not get this one right and that it was painful to watch. What else does public with near zero stake in the situation need to hear to be satisfied.

If I were a potential hire / investor / client -- yeah I may pay more attention and make some mental notes about how much I respect them as a company. But I dont think this was embarassingly bad to become a dealbreaker for any stakeholder. For me it mostly adds one more bit to a gestalt of how corporate functions and tech companies work these days.
You know, I was expected to hate that part from Reed Hastings when I first started reading it, but he is right. Interviews are nearly useless and unfair. Giving people a chance to learn technical and professional skills when you are starting out, even if you terminated later, is important.

I think it's fair to say that any particular performance of Gosling may be good/er or bad/er, but his broad range is impressive: The Notebook, Half Nelson, Lars and the Real Girl, Blue Valentine, The Place Beyond the Pines, Only God Forgives, The Big Short, The Nice Guys, La La Land, Barbie.

That’s the tragedy of all this: they’re not completely failing to have good ideas, but the willingness to cut corners on safety mean everyone has to question what’s lurking beneath the surface. They would have sold a ton of aircraft anyway, but someone figured their bonus would be huge if they could make the profit margin a few percentage points higher.
> This hyper selective attention is very bad.

They knew that was a risk when they started cutting corners. Now they are paying the price. Can't say I feel for them. It's a nice deterrent.
> It respects Herbert's intelligence and understands the world building decisions Herbert made.

I completely disagree, it does a few major plot points decently but the gender swap of Liet Kynes completely erases the point of that character as a parallel to Paul’s journey in relation to his determined destiny as outlined by the people before him. It completely wipes away any difference between the two invading armies as well they both come off as generic evil villains where in the book they have a purposeful lavishness and guadiness. Not to mention the entire obvious white washing of the entire jihad and Fremen who are clearly based off of Middle Eastern peoples.

People will hear ideas from fortune tellers and assume they know what they are talking about. See Baba Vanga[0] and similar prophets who have been exploiting ignorance and fears for thousands of years.

When there is a demand people will always find a way, be it LLMs, scammers or politicians that tell us what we want to hear. Especially when that demand is the emotional one.

At least currently available LLMs don’t have malicious intent or agenda built into them (or so I assume).

I just recently rewatched the new Dune and it has it's own special vibe. Certainly knowing the book helps to understand many things and this is true that the power of mentats was clearly not explained at all and this is unfortunate, but a director has to choose on what to focus. To be honest, he doesn't really focus on guild too - Lunch has a really fine scene that demonstrates the power of the guild and Villeneuve is completely missing something like this.

Still I love the new Dune and I love Lynch Dune too, especially the fan made extended cuts that are extremely brilliant.
A big advantage Airbus has is their more modern designs are full fly-by-wire, so they're able to more practically compensate for the handling characteristics in software.

As far as I know (not a pilot or aeronautics engineer) MCAS was more or less an attempt to do the same to a non-fly-by-wire plane, and we see how that turned out...
> I guess they want to force you to choose interpolator.

In which case using `\{}` as the interpolation signal is completely unnecessary, because the new syntax already solves the backward compatibility concerns.

Using just `{x}` like C# and Python, or `$x`/`${x}` like Kotlin, would have sufficed and made the syntax a lot more palatable.

So would using postfix format specifiers, because that printf-style prefix garbage is just gnarly.
I wish they'd spend some of that energy on exploring the ethics of neglecting and abandoning products that people spend time and energy on, integrating them into their homes and workflows.
This game is part of the Simon Tatham's Puzzle collection as "Guess" (https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/gues...)

I've seen a lot of algorithms for how to play this, Donal Knuth has one that can win in 5 moves, but none that are really usable by humans. The method I use, which seems to always win is:

Guess 1111

Depending how many 1's were right, Guess 1222, 1122, 1112, 2222

Continue in this manor until the solution is found.

I just played this game ID: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/gues...

where it worked perfectly:

RRRR -> (1, 0) One red, somewhere.

RYYY -> (0, 1) No yellows, red is not first

GRGG -> (0, 2) One green in the 2nd position, red is 3 or 4.

BGRB -> (1, 1) No blues, red must be last.

OGOR -> (4, 0) Success.

Have been meaning to simulate this and see if there are any games where this method would not work. Sometimes it takes all the moves but I've never lost.
How is it better?

Just different, and using dollar sign adds another shift press.
This could be fine, because in science we rarely add dimensionless numbers. Usually they are a scaling factor (i.e. multiplicative).
But why not? Why can't they fail? Why can the world have so many car makers and yacht makers but we can't disrupt up a flailing company like Boeing?
You aren't answering my questions, you're just making the same claims over and over without any explanation.

This sounds like you have been soaked in /r/bitcoin propaganda. You realize that subreddit is completely censored so that anyone who goes against the narrative of more throughput or the absurdity of the lightning network gets banned right? Try going there an questioning the common narrative to experiment for yourself then see what happens.

You aren't confronting why anyone would do what you're saying. Why would anyone transfer money onto a network where they have to pay huge amounts of money to move it around? What problem does that solve? It isn't like people can't already move money around much cheaper than a bitcoin transaction.

The lightning network has been promised for over a decade now. No one uses it because you have to make a little cluster of transactions that have no impact on the actual chain until you pay the enormous fees. That's like a little village coming up with their own currency of swapping IOUs with everyone else and not being able to use their money until they pay $12-$37 to convert it something Other people will use. If your IOU is less that the transaction amount, it's frozen. It's an absurd idea that no one wants.

Most of all you aren't confronting why anyone would put themselves through all this when they could either use traditional finance or other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is right now useful for and used for only speculation and nothing else. Knowing that why would anyone put their money into unless they were speculating on it?
