> I believe creating new life is playing 'god'.

That's an unusual definition of "playing god", since it includes something that pretty much every life form back to the earliest single-cellular bacteria does.
Not necessarily. You could design the plug like "copper tip, plastic ring, copper sleeve". With the right dimensions the contacts aren't shorted together during insertion.

Alternatively, use a ring which is segmented in 120 degree pieces, and place two contacts 180 degree apart in the socket: any two ring segments might be shorted, but never all three - and there will always be at least two segments with a connection. Use a bridge rectifier to get a fixed polarity out of it.
That rhetoric, outside of being sociopathic, is also almost certainly just not true.

I'm sure you've also been watching this war play out. When Russia first invaded their army was disorganized, relatively ineffective, and on extremely unstable footing. And when NATO entered the picture there was genuine fear about Western weaponry. Now Russia's military is much more effective, the visage of dominance of Western weaponry has been completely destroyed (along with large amounts of said weaponry itself), Russia's military production has reached highly competent levels, and they're altogether in a much better place. Even the no American lives part is false. Not only have numerous mercenaries and contractors been killed, but I think it's extremely safe to assume that there have been casualties among the inevitable individuals who are not officially there.

Also, one mistake you make is in claiming that withdrawing will have negative consequences (which I agree with), and then jumping from there to 'well, then we shouldn't withdraw!' Unfortunately in real life the choice is often not between a good choice and a bad choice, but between a bad choice and an awful choice. This is even more true when acting under poor leadership, or leadership with insufficient foresight. And I don't see how continuing this war is anything but negative for basically everybody, except perhaps Boeing and other arms dealers.
+1, I live in a place where many streets are made of paving bricks/stones and I would rather drive through asphalt with potholes. Those stones completely destroy your suspension (and your entire vehicle if your suspension is hard) and get slippery and dangerous if you drive a motorcycle.
> road damage scales as the fourth power of the axle weight

Is there a theoretical basis for this? It looks like the "fourth power law" comes from an empirical test conducted in the 50s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AASHO_Road_Test

However, that article says:

> ...critics point out that its data is only valid under the specific conditions of the test with regard to the time, place, environment, and material properties present during the test. Extrapolating the data to different situations has been "problematic".[3] Other studies have attempted to refine the results, either through further empirical studies, or by developing mathematical models, with varying success.

I have some intuition for why certain physical systems would scale quadratically or cubically, but where on earth is the quartic scaling coming from here??

"Air has been let out" in the sense that it's moved past the trough of disillusionment and is on its way to the plateau of productivity[1].

There are still a few people in the trough of disillusionment yelling about how a $5/month VPS is all you'll ever need, or a $50/month bare metal colocated server is all you'll ever need. But for the most part the people who benefit from cloud services & containerization will use it when they need to, avoid it when they don't. It'll continue to be a productive tool when used properly, with vendors supporting mature products using it that solve people's problems.

There are a lot of people choosing to live beyond their means.

If interest rates are defining if a person is saving or not, they are already not saving, and worrying about interest rates when looking at a monthly budget already implies money is being borrowed to make ends meet.

Sure, when interest rates are low that can mean a better mortgage rate, but the response to this should be buying less house, or putting more money down. This might mean spending some more time saving before buying. It doesn’t mean person is forced to spend so much on their mortgage that they can’t afford the other areas of their life.

The article addresses the fact that people used to learn parenting from their communities, families came together when a new baby was born to help out and teach. I think this social aspect of teaching parenting is very much wanted and even craved. People want to be taught how to parent, just not by the government. An institution, any institution, teaching parenting just feels like more domestication by bureaucracy. I don't want to be told how to interact with my dearly loved family by my overlord. I don't want to learn how to parent by watching an educational video turned on by a professional with a 4 year degree in mothering.

Kids that finish high school are considered uneducated either because contextually we are talking about specialized skills and secondary education, or because school does a terrible job at actually educating.

We do have interfaces! They are super useful, I am very stoked that I dont have to remember which way around MISO/MOSI go any more.

Interfaces are just a collection of signals eg

interface I2C:
signal sda
signal scl
signal gnd

you can connect two together like so:
micro.i2c ~ sensor.i2c

Importing schematics would be possible, but IMO not super valuable as all we could import would be the raw connectivity, a big benefit of our language is being able to add a layer of abstraction on that.

Disadvantage students having lower GPA isn't surprising, it is the expectation.

The question that hard to answer is did those lower performance groups still learn, and what was the delta on where they started.

Private tutoring, existing life skills, access to money to free up studying time etc...

A student that has to work through school or has to help with the career of a family member has to sometimes sacrifice GPA for life's reality.

Obviously GPA is important for social ladder climbing. But this is part of the reason social mobility is the US is far lower than many other countries.

A B or C+ student is still learning and allowing for a path for those in the lowe 'casts' is how we grow economically.

This isn't a zero sum game. Eugenics based policies have hurt our competitiveness.

Interesting - I bought an RTX 3060 Ti last year because I didn't really know what information to trust w/rt what makes a "good budget AI card" vs a "bad budget AI card." As much as I'm feeling the limited RAM (really should have gotten the 12GB 3060), I just wouldn't even know where to start when setting up an AMD card for GPGPU tasks. It feels like every idiot-friendly guide for home AI tinkering assumes you have an Nvidia GPU.

> As it stands, Congress passes a (often vague and badly written) law, and it’s up to regulators with very tailored knowledge (on subjects ranging from wireless spectrum management to emission controls) to implement useful rules within the confines of the law.

To what degree is this actually true?

My experience with regulators is that they often do not have "very tailored knowledge" - they are just cogs in their own machine. They are often generalists whose skills are more transferrable to other regulatory branches than they are to the industries in question.

I think they meant the "safety" use of "security" - ABS is most likely "anti-lock braking system", which per Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system ):

"An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a safety anti-skid braking system used on aircraft and on land vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses.[1] ABS operates by preventing the wheels from locking up during braking, thereby maintaining tractive contact with the road surface and allowing the driver to maintain more control over the vehicle."

If I understand both correctly, the implication is that asphalt provides a better (safer / "more secure") grip with vehicle tires, including when ABS kicks in. This is backed up by other comments here talking about how other road surfaces, especially cobblestones, are very slick in rain and even above certain speeds.

So yeah, slightly weird usage of "security" but it does make sense with a bit of context.

Have a good day, all.

One Problem I always see in such apps is that the ai can't see in to the database or into all entries, so queries without stating data EXACTLY as in the database run into issues.

example: give me the revenue for all logistics firms

but in the database these might not be called "logistics" and may be called "transport" (or anything)

maybe there are some counters to this like finding unique values per column or even better use a grammar based approach, wich will select only valid entries.

but the simple text to SQL is at this point not the "hard thing to solve"

Yeah, this might actually change my mind about skipping DEFCON.

I started going to DEFCON in 2017 (DEFCON 25). After last year's event, I had decided I wasn't going to go anymore. The villages were always extremely crowded, so trying to actually participate would be a huge wait. The talks were nice, but I can just watch them on YouTube a month or so later. Hacker Jeopardy is always a blast, but I'm not going to spend $2,500 to fly and stay in Vegas just for that.

The fact that Red Team village would only be given this tiny conference room with only like 50 chairs to listen to talks was just bullshit.

If the new venue has more room and solves all my complaints, maybe I'll still go.
Yes exams are heavily weighted, but labs/assignments are not usually easy in stem courses. You're delusional if you think that you're gonna get a 4.0 by half-assing course work, and even more delusional if you think someone like that will average over 90% on their exams. The SAT covers fairly basic topics that nearly every student should know, that's why it's like an IQ test. When I was in school freshmen would take it just to see what it was like, and many would score well on their first try.

FLTK and other libraries cannot be used from JavaScript.

JavaScript is one of the most popular programming language. But a JavaScript dev who needs to make a desktop GUI will usually need to use Electron to bring up a browser for the GUI. This means actually two JavaScript engine (Node and Chromium)

The reason it has to do with Deno is that you need a JavaScript/TypeScript runtime.
But you may not need a browser.
So you can develop your application in JavaScript using a framework that doesn't use the DOM but show a native window instead.

This is more lightweight and more secure (no risks of HTML injection and the browser is a big attack vector)

> One of the major differences between C7a instances and the previous generations of instances, such as C6a instances, is their vCPU to physical processor core mapping. Every vCPU on a C7a instance is a physical CPU core. This means there is no Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT). By contrast, every vCPU on prior generations such as C6a instances is a thread of a CPU core.

So your "vCPU" is not an SMT thread sharing a core with some other "vCPU". Of course you're still sharing the rest of the CPU, so things like memory bandwidth and presumably upper level cache, and you might be affected by thermal load from other cores? idk whether that kind of thing applies in server contexts.

There were a total of three fatalities resulting from Asiana 214. Two passengers died onboard, as a direct consequence of the crash.

As for the third, it was later speculated that they could possibly have already died before encountering airport fire and rescue vehicles. This is still controversial; it is also possible that the original sequence of events was correct.

The primary cause of the crash was a profound lack of airmanship by the flight-deck crew. There was also some mode confusion with the autopilot and autothrottle; however they should have overcome this using fundamental aviation skills. Nobody was minding the actual throttle state.

Either way, it is worth noting the other two fatalities. Thank you.
I think the point is that the manufacturer decided to put a absurd strong DAC inside so that it double as a music player.
Yeah I live in a quaint little cobblestoney old town, and it's true what you say about trade-offs.

For the last decade or so many busses through the heart of town were forced to use a cobblestone street for about 200 meters, resulting juddering that was unpleasant for both passenger and bus. One time I saw a handrail rattle loose and start donging around. So in the final cost / benefit analysis of the optimal street surface, we also need to calculate the increased wear and tear to vehicles and dentstry.

Fortunately someone higher up saw sense and asphalted over that section of road, much to everyone's relief.
What does the new SAT even measure? It's just some Common Core© Algebra 1 and 2 knowledge (also basic trig), reading comprehension, and a section where you read sentences in your head and see if they sound right. You can get over 10 questions wrong and still get a 1500. There's no more shape rotation questions anymore or really any question where you aren't just applying an equation.

I got a 1530 by just doing 20 practice tests from the stickied thread on r/SAT and basically learning every possible question type. 1-2 tests a week over the summer and into the early school year. Not a monumental amount of effort and didn't cost me any resources besides time and paper. I think most people just don't know how or what to study.
Standardized tests aren’t a fix, they are a form of measurement to diagnose the problem. When your son has a B average in 8th grade and scores in single digits on State standardized tests, it is clear there is a very serious problem.

The fix is to get proper leadership in the schools. Our Superintendent started his career as a gym teacher, and it shows. At a school board meeting when parents criticized the low standardized test scores, he crowed that they don’t matter because colleges stopped looking at them.

Cultural change goes much deeper than changing the CEO. Boeing might not be salvageable on the cheap side. Decapitating the company at levels 1-4 may not even be enough. It may require acknowledging that changing the flight envelope and software-patching it was a mistake.

This is a major can of worms on itself. This means a plane redesign, 6-8 years delay, and probably another round of WTO-unfriendly subsidy.
I used to live near a high-traffic road that was built with cobblestones. It probably had decades of having been built and it was horrible. I conjecture that due to soil expansion due to changes in moisture (no snow, but periods of dry and rain seasons), and therefore, the road was very bumpy (think of multiscale bumps) and it was extremely uncomfortable to drive on it. Everybody talked about how much they hated that road, but there were no good alternatives.

I think the author underestimates the amount of warping in the underlying soil in some places. I'm sure it isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, but I agree it should be considered for suitable places.

> All wars have something in common: they end. That thought in your head about lack of hope of normalizing relations is just the current propaganda working.

I don't think your comment is grounded on reality, and it's ironic how it parrots one of Russia's anti-ukraine propaganda tropes: the collective west should just stop backing Ukraine because the faster they cave in, the faster all relationships normalize.

Even if you believe fairy tales about forgetting Russia's perpetual threat of nuclear annihilation and Russia's "our empire will extend to Lisbon" threats, all you need to do is look at the Soviet Union's rejection of peace and a free world up to it's collapse to understand that any talk of normalization is at best thoroughly unsupported and at worst more Russian propaganda.
