I agree with this comment.

Ironically, I was asked by a manager some time ago if we can imagine using some (more) resources from AWS to reach the next spending commitment. If you're just below the threshold, it's probably inconvenient.

EDIT: To give some context: you can only do this, of course, when you know that you're not really wasting resources, otherwise you end up with just burning money to save little to no money :)
How hard would it be to have the fob recognize it hasn't moved in x minutes and turn itself off? If it's in your pocket it would stay active, and the user experience would be exactly what it is today, while stopping night-time relay attacks.

I will refer to Consumer Reports once I start shitting golf balls.

Otherwise they're a decent place to maybe start but they're definitely not the be all-end-all.

> I imagine the 0xFF might be converted to 0x00 due to DC blocking capacitors/high-pass filtering, audio circuits aren't really suited for non-audible content.

Yeah, you want to generate a signal with no DC bias, something as simple as Manchester encoding will go a long way. If that's not good enough, there's NRZ or even a convolutional encoding. You also want to make sure you either send a sin wave, or if you can't do that, at least make sure your square wave frequency is high enough that it doesn't get eaten by the AC coupling capacitors.
NASA doesn't push that line. They say the primary mission is X flights or whatever. When the probe lasts longer reporters translate that into "designed to only last X flights!!1!"

NASA never wants to say a probe will probably last longer than its primary mission because then reporters go the complete opposite direction and claim NASA said a "probe failed to last the claimed X+Y flights".
> An engineer [] went to a credentialed school and passed a bunch of test and is allowed to sign documents that state "this thing, if built this way, won't collapse and kill people."

Ahhh - that old craptacular definition. You completely ignore mechanical engineers, chemical engineers, electrical & electronics engineers. Not all engineers make bridges.

Secondly, the implied cause and effect even within civil engineering is a fantasy. Signatures on documents by credentialed engineers doesn't prevent disasters as you noted: Bridges fall down, buildings burn. Read the engineering reports on civil engineering disasters, and look at the consequences for the engineers involved.

You do some handwaving about organizational/process problems, but actually that is the key to safe engineering. Organisations deliver engineering projects and they do it across jurisdictional borders using insurance and liability and with a variety of other means that work: "signatures don't prevent disasters".

Lockheed Martin's skunk-works and SpaceX are real engineering. Any good definition of engineering needs to encompass an extremely wide variety of activities.

Engineering is compromise. I have no love for Musk but him saying build that actuator for less than $5k is actually true engineering: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39085892

I would like to know the psychology behind why people wish to believe credentialed signatures are so powerful? Maybe a cross between two concepts #1: "that individual engineers run the world" and #2: "that retributive punishment of individuals works as a deterrent". I think concept #1 comes from the egotist idea of most engineer-types that we are the center of everything (I need a whole article to explain the concept). I think concept #2 is related to beliefs about the value of incarceration and also punishment beliefs derived from religion (especially in the USA where prisons are not fixing problems?).

Edit: issue #3: the idea that we should make rules about what words mean. It takes a certain worldview to think words should be defined rather than evolve (or worse that words should be part of a justice system)
So how does this work exactly.

Can I add RTX to something like Unreal Tournament 2004?
Thanks for making the distinction between when you are charged and why then charge is for.

Businesses rarely map charges directly into what is being paid for, because that doesn’t work in practice. Charges are made at a convenient point and then used to pay for the service as a whole. This is common practice across all kinds of business.

This matters because people are claiming they it is just for payment processing and then arguing that 30% is too much, which is clearly a dishonest position.

The solution is to maintain two queues.

One queu is your normal queue.

A second queue that is your tenant queue (one record for each tenant that has queued items).

You select from your tenant queue, then select from your normal queue. All the while keeping your tenant invariant (one record for each tenant that has queued items).

It's certainly more complex but no one said that fair was easy.
The list of national parks makes it seem like there are only 61 when there are actually 63. After comparing the list to Wikipedia, the reasons for this discrepancy are:

- National Park of American Samoa (est. 1988) is missing any designation

- Sequoia and Kings Canyon are listed as the same park (parkCode: seki)
That tells how good people care about safety...
Or do you think that it's planted evidence? ;-)
While the current "half closed state" and "one of the read/write halves is closed and you don't realize it" may sound similar, they're two different "halves". Splitting the socket fully into two separate file handles would mean that users could close one of them without realizing it, and thus be able to write a new sort of bug where they would be able to ask stack overflow "I'm able to read from my socket but not write from it, what gives?"

This wouldn't necessarily manifest as a new TCP state in the kernel state table. You could do this to TCP today at the API level alone. Which is further evidence it's a different "half".

And if it sounds silly that anyone would make such a mistake, like many such hypothetical mistakes it's important to remember that in the wild it's not always next to each other. My least favorite networking experience ever involved being three levels deep in abstraction in some Perl libraries, every level of which felt like it can and should make all sorts of helpful little calls, the end result being all kinds of fun to debug as soon as any of them were wrong. The thing that closed one of the halves of the socket and the person confused by the result can be arbitrarily separated in the code.

Or, to put it another way, you can't grow the API's complexity without growing the API's complexity. If today closing closes both reading and writing but a new API severs that guarantee and creates at least two new states, that inevitably results in a new way for things to go wrong. You can't have one without the other.
I have the same issue with NYT recommendations. The initial build quality of the product is good, but then just outside the warranty period it all falls apart all at once.

I think the products are optimized for the tests, not long-term ownership. Rigors of ownership are what you see reflected in the comments.

Like Bose QC45s. Feel nice. Sound great. Works well overall, for the first year. Then the firmware started acting up, mic stops working during Zoom calls, and getting secondary pairing to work correctly makes breeding pandas look easy.
> What is the point of space exploration if humans can't go?

I don't know; what is the point of studying quantum mechanics if you can't see it? What is the point of studying insect embryology when you aren't an insect? I'm pretty fascinated by these 3B+ ly sized megastructures but I won't visit them (to the degree that "visit" would even make sense). Hell, what's the point of studying history when you can't go there either?

Okay, but it’s still a world model, just slightly different in kind?

What about multi-modal models that are trained on text and images?

What about something trained on images, audio, sensorimotor inputs? At what point does that change?

Didn’t the world produce the text (albeit indirectly), just as it does the inputs to our own experience?

I haven’t usually used such a restrictive definition, flow control is any mechanism that directs program location.

That's a bit deceiving because a good portion of AT&T valuation came from them acquiring DirectTV and TimeWarner to create a unified TV streaming experience, but they have since divested those assets.

You can just carry liability.

That's common if you have an old car that is worth very little.

I've learned there is a few states where you don't even need liability.

I think it was West Virginia.

There was a case a few years ago about a guy from there who was driving through Alberta and got a ticket for no insurance and was trying to fight it as he wasn't required to have insurance in his home state.

Everyone in Canada is required to have liability in order to drive.
A more complete version of your rebuttal could have included the fact that the President typically submits his budget proposal for the year to Congress as an opening bid:

> The executive budget process consists of three main phases: development of the President’s budget proposal, submission and justification of the President’s budget proposal, and execution of enacted annual appropriations and other budgetary legislation.

https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R47092

I just think it's important to remind people whenever possible that the United States President isn't a king, isn't all-powerful, and isn't even a Prime Minister. The role is deliberately separated from the legislative branch, and as such cannot introduce legislation of any form.
I get your point and you’re largely right.

But some software is largely unfixable (I’m thinking of mainstream software like windows and software commonly used) and more hardware is one of the least executed solutions actually
While it’s comforting to know that the ultimate outcome of this going unnoticed would have been non-fatal, we don’t yet know whether this was:

1) “after a series of maintenance and inspection failures, a passenger noticed something unusual”; or,

2) “the bolts had been inspected on an appropriate schedule and had since gone missing, and a passenger noticed a new defect before the next inspection was scheduled to occur for this non-critical part”.

It matters whether it’s 1) or 2), or somewhere in between, and I don’t think we don’t know that yet. Public faith in airlines behaving safely is pretty low, and rightly so. I definitely support “treat as a process failure until determined otherwise” for airlines right now. Looking forward to that determination, regardless.

There's no more value in discussing how things should be without considering how one might get there than there is in discussing the implications of warp drive and replicators on society.

I would say it’s recreational pessimism because I’m usually an optimist except I can’t help but feel that lately everything is starting to seem increasingly unreal. The Moloch dynamic is a serious thing — it’s a name used in some circles to describe any dynamic where people have to behave in ways that go against collective interest because of the game conditions they find themselves in, for example a nuclear arm’s race.

Voice comms benefit from already generally working in the frequency domain due to the heavy use of codecs; repeating the current spread of frequencies is much less intrusive than repeating entire samples: chirping or warbling instead of stuttering or clipping.
I mean history suggests that’s the case. Took centuries for Copernicus to exist.

AI has been an idea for decades. It wasn’t until transformers in the last few years we had big gains.

Google and giant institutions focus on fiat revenue stability over the long term, in line with political ideology. Few big ideas come out of that. I think what Adam Smith is said to have written applies; division of labor taken to the extreme will result in humans dumber than the lowest animal.

We iterated on our current political system over the Boomers lives. Next generations are tired of the threat of brute force from the elders who the kids now see as in no position to back up those threats given their age. They’re abandoning norms of the last 30-40 years, which IMO, is enabled by abandonment of thousands of years of obligation to preserve religion.

There are shorter iterative periods too; 15 years ago comic movies went crazy with Iron Man, iPhone blew up; now we’re iterating on AI generated content and spatial headsets. 15 years prior (with some wiggle room for margin of error) “information super highway” was coming.

On the shorter scales there seems to a pattern of 3-5 year warmup and 7-10 year plateau, with a cooldown of 2-3 years as the masses lose interest. This aligns with neuroscience experiments that show our brains devalue old patterns after roughly 15 years.

Generational churn and lack of generalized sense of obligation to the past (via abandonment of religious buy in by westerners) could free the future to live in cycles that align with scientific measurement versus obligation to be parrots that recite past memes.

I'm very interested in it as well, I think we can mostly just speculate. I don't think it's a GPU, I think it's an independent SOC running some sort of real-time OS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_operating_system) I suppose it would necessarily have GPU cores in it to do image processing, but I don't think it itself is just a GPU, or gives any indication about discrete GPU's coming to the Mac. I think this is a very Vision-specific piece of silicon.

Edit: many are saying that is just an Image Signal Processor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_processor). I don't think that's quite the case because 1) The M-series chips are already known to have ISP's packaged into them. and 2) My understanding is that the R1's job is to provide continuity of passthrough even in the event of a kernel panic by the M-series chip. To my thinking, this means the R1 chip must have a level of independence beyond that of a traditional coprocessor. I think it is an entire SOC.

It can be both at the same time, delaying or cancelling the flight can be much safer brand wise than the complaints and negative publicity, even if technically there is no significant risk.

Maybe this is pedantic -- Did you build a radar, or did you build a wrapper around an ADS-B API?

I clicked this thinking, "Wow! Radars are hard. Building one at home would be quite the feat!", but this appears to just be a wrapper around an ADS-B data providing service? Not even reading the ADS-B data over the air on one's own at home?

Calling this a radar, vs saying "I build a nice GUI around ADS-B data", are two very different things! The latter is a fun side project at home, but it's a couple orders of magnitude easier than the former!
> Today, right now, solar energy stored in batteries is cheaper than new nuclear. And every year that price falls further.

Can you provide links to data supporting this? Everything I’ve read is that major solar installations that don’t have the perfect conditions are still often more expensive than nuclear.

No solar installation is cheaper than nuclear once you start factoring in batteries for many reasons (one is that large scale battery installations are still expensive and the other is that you have to charge the battery which means a non trivial part of your solar/wind capacity is going to charge the batteries)

Not arguing with most of it. And for those struggling with executing on it, i highly recommend to get on Ozempic/Wegovy which helps with nearly all the list just due to the way it wraps your mind - anyway, if you have a problem procrastinating, drinking, overeating and not saving money you are also likely overweight and qualify for it.

But question is: wtf is wrong about travelling? I understand the purpose of travelling simply as: seeing new stuff frequently and frequently doing everyday things in a way you never did before just because new surroundings force you to. You can't follow you normal routine, you have to think on every step. That keeps your mind sharper. The older you are, the more benefit it makes. What's wrong about it? Smartest (and richest) people i know just travel most of the time literally. A few are nomadic in the most direct sense: they move from one 5-star hotel suite to the next for years and years.
I’m sure plenty are grassroots scalpers, but I recall seeing some fine print about limitations per household (2 I believe). Which is in line with the old limits they had in other products[0].

How they enforce that is of course another thing. It’s less meaningful if it it’s just based on Apple ID, more if it’s based on payment methods or billing address.
Then again, they guide orders through a Face ID scan for fit, so that makes it easier to limit orders.

> Another terrible thing is people would code up DSL's using operator overloading, such as a Regex language.

There's nothing wrong with this if your language has proper hygienic macros. Then you can have all of math_expr![ … ], float_expr![ … ] (dangerous! order of operations may affect results), regex_expr![ … ], or even stream_concat_expr![ … ] all using the same operators while meaning completely different things and preserving complete extensibility. They would even be composable since each macro invocation would desugar its own operators and leave those in other contained macros unaltered.
