> I’m not aware of another case of this sort of thing (relevant flight recorder data being overwritten) happening in recent years anyway.

Got me curious how often this happened.

Last example I can find of a CVR being overwritten and not just exploded/missing was in 2018 for an engine fire, similar to this where the flight had to emergency land shortly after take-off. Before that...well a lot of complete failures ("not operative at time of flight") but not many like this scenario.

matheusmoreira's recommendation sums it up: Nutritious diet and as much exercise as possible.

Dementia is really the worst case scenario. A friend in Germany recently allowed her mother to stop eating, leading to death, in order to avoid further mental decline.

Death is inevitable, the best hope is a healthy happy live until death. So let your parents do whatever they want, don't try to coral them into what seems best to you...

Not necessarily simple.

1) Keep moving. Exercise and stretch. Even if it takes half an hour to get going, don't just sit in a chair all day or soon you won't be able to do anything but sit in a chair.

2) Go to the doctor regularly. Listen to them.

3) Encourage them to downsize their home and move into something wheelchair accessible or even assisted living before it becomes medically necessary. This can be really hard for some people to admit that it needs to happen, but it's A LOT harder for everyone when it's forced.

Make sure they keep on top of getting sight & hearing checked, and encourage getting things fixed - my MIL has quite considerable cognitive decline, and with a bunch of ableism and anxiety resisted things like cataract surgery and hearing aids which I suspect could have kept her more engaged with the world for longer - I don't know if it would have made a BIG difference but still worth doing.

Also, support them to move to more supported living arrangements (or living arrangements with step-up care available) before they need it. It would allow better decision-making, and allows more agency to the aging parent.

You're downvoted because this was legitimately not a noun until the last 10-15 years, and it came from corporate/bizdev lingo not regular speech.

Lessons has been used since the 13th century.

It's amazing to think that the regular accepted noun sounds snooty to you.

It's a naive point of view, I know, but I often wonder how a business could function if wages and salaries were considered to be profit. This is clear enough for an individual running a business, or even a family operation.

For larger businesses would it be possible without adopting an extreme socialist (or even communist) approach? If so, how would you balance this with the interests of investors/owners (i.e. people that aren't involved in the operation of the business)? Would the businesses be more or less sustainable on average? Does the very existence of outside investors necessitate categorising wages and salaries as a cost?

I do not use Python or Perl. If I need either of them, e.g., for compiling some other software, I install them, do the compilation, then uninstall. Python is popular but it is slow. This has been admiitted countless times on HN and elsewhere. If Python was not slow by design then why is such an incredible amount of work put into trying to "speed it up".
I used to keep a diary (that I stopped keeping due to lack of time) and it echoes your experience to a large extent. I mostly wrote about how I was feeling or what I did that day or what I was planning to do in the near future.

I also vastly underestimated the amount of time and energy it would take to excel in certain things (for example, I wanted to compose and play music, excel at math and physics, write fiction books, play tennis, all at professional levels) and overestimated the difficulty of a few others (namely escaping poverty/becoming wealthy). Though, I suppose this may be the consequence of work being such a major timesink in one's life and my having the fortune of various opportunities in my life.

Similarly, my desired storylines and opinions have all been roughly the same since then. There have been occasions where they shifted, but then returned as if to equilibrium after a brief amount of time. As someone who views themself as having a terrible memory, I suspect it may have less to do with memory and more to do with some stable characteristic with emergent qualities. To extend the equilibrium analogy - a spring doesn't need to "remember" its equilibrium position to reach it - after experiencing friction for enough time, it'll reach it again.

It's nice being able to see a reflection of my past self though. I think I'll try to keep a diary again.
Most Chinese don't invest in their stock market. The accredited investor qualification is much harder to get than in the US.

Most investment is in real estate, which has remained fairly stable in Tier 1 cities (which is where most of the post-2008 Chinese Canadians are from)

Yes, their quality is great but the cost is astronomical — I pay about $8 in Azure TTS bills alone for TTS-ing a 500-page book (what you can scan per month with a $10 subscription), whereas Eleven Labs would be about $100 for the same length. I found Azure to be the best bang-for-the-buck, although I'm on the lookout for more affordable high-quality TTS, which would also let me drop the price point of the app.
This is most certainly true. If you look back to my comment and the discussion from the main thread I have two quotes from the GPT 4 technical paper

> We measure cross-contamination between our evaluation dataset and the pre-training data using substring match. Both evaluation and training data are processed by removing all spaces and symbols keeping only characters (including numbers). For each evaluation example, we randomly select three substrings of 50 characters (or use the entire example if it’s less than 50 characters). A match is identified if any of the three sampled evaluation substrings is a substring of the processed training example. This yields a list of contaminated examples. We discard these and rerun to get uncontaminated scores.

> The RLHF post-training dataset is vastly smaller than the pretraining set and unlikely to have any particular question contaminated. However we did not check explicitly.

These are not great at building confidence that OpenAI does not have spoilage. Given what we know about the dedupe process (even from early 2023) this is not enough to purge contamination. Exact string matching has been the de facto method for quite some time and for quite some time we've known that this has issues. Just that 5 years ago these issues weren't as critical as they are today because performance was much lower back then.

It has long been recognized that overreaching burn prevention has led to the situation we are in. There are often "controlled" burns that get out of control. There are inhabited/developed areas within and next to the forests that don't want to deal with the smoke of the burn and the chance that it gets out of control. The total area is immense and so the costs of burning 30% of the state which is forest would also be immense. The point is: it is complicated and there are practical considerations why it isn't an easy fix.

The next thing is Trump said they should "rake" the forests, which is asinine. Finally, much of California's forests are federal land ... which Trump was responsible for. How many people did he send out to rake the forest?

It seems to me that there are 3 independent issues.

1 scanning the books to text.

2 reading text to the user.

3 having a good interface.

Number 1 seems to be where you put the most effort, along with 3.

I guess at least for me, there are often digital copies of books, either in epub or Kindle. When that's available those should be used.

And if it is not available, wouldn't it make more sense to have document scanner to epub?

I guess I'm just thinking that it is relatively rare that you really need to document scanning in order to get an audio book. Since most of the cost seems to be from document scanner side, it seems worthwhile to split them up.

And also seems like it would make sense to think of these as 2 separate products. Specialized document scanning, and audio generation. I can definitely see uses for one without the other.
So the business model missed the inequality of the commons problem. Seems like a widescale problem.

Let's imagine you're the pilot, and you're super busy with an emergency. You also know that there are mountains to the east of the airport. You also have ATC on the radio and they know about all of the meaningful obstacles in your area. Asking for lower in this situation (rather than using your emergency authority) is exactly what you want to do.

Looking at the track, they descend to 10000' until they start their downwind to base turn. Once they start that turn, they get a lower altitude (looks like 7000') until they are established on final and can fly an approach.
Really excellent concise SQL guide, and great teaching by example. At most universities in the US this content gets taught over an entire semester (and probably shouldn't be). This guide is complete enough for 99% of industry SWE jobs outside of database optimization.

What are you on about ?

The spec/interface for developer does not have the handle the complexity of implementation browsers have to . Do you as the app developer deal with any of that integrating Stripe ? of course not, you yourself say it is just one line of JS for the app developer.

If the API goes through, it will be a key stream of income for browser developers, They can then monetize their most important asset - brand and trust people have on their product without diluting it and not be dependent on advertisements or search engine placements from competitors or crypto to support the development.

It is no different from IAP APIs mobile platform provides, they are not complex(for the app developer). Complexities of geography and taxation is not the app(website) developer's problem it is the platform's nothing in the interface has to handle that. Browsers will charge 30% the Apple and Google do for variety of reasons, but just Stripe level rates is enormous income source for them to support development.

Well I disagree with this, but it's a useless discussion to have.
If the door was removed (which the NTSB report and the whistleblower post linked elsewhere around here say must have happened) there should be documentation for, at minimum, the removal and reattachment. If the door was not removed but was opened and closed, there should be documentation for both of those actions instead.

I don't know if this should be considered "adding more process" because it has been standard process for a very long time. All work done on an airplane is authorized, by someone, and after completion is recorded, by someone. Discrepancies and deviations from this standard operating procedure are a big deal.
iOS has pretty decent built-in OCR and TTS but give it a try on a book page if you're curious — unfortunately the OCR makes a lot of mistakes (as well as including footnotes etc.) and the TTS is still pretty robotic. I do hope and expect they'll improve soon, though, at which point the only advantage of this app will be that it can scan multiple pages at a time — probably not enough of an advantage to justify its existence at that point although I'll see what users say. For now, as far as I've seen it's the highest-quality option for this (granted, very niche) paper-to-audio use case.

Created an AI explainer app that helps you understand a topic, kind of like Perplexity.

It's currently free to use. Its built using nextjs+tailwind and is powered by Vercel + Brave + Gemini Pro. https://xplained.vercel.app

There are other projects that I worked on as part of my job, mostly around bots, search, classification, and analytics.
If you're currently building from source, presumably you have `-march=native` in your CFLAGS anyway, so you wouldn't gain any perf improvements from using the pre-compiled ones.
I think it’s that and also more than that.

For example I would like, and could reasonably afford, a decent technical camera rig and a 45mp+ digital mirrorless camera to go on the back of it. I know how to use it properly to get value from it.

The outlay for this is more than the Vision Pro by a small margin.

But there are many things I probably should spend that money on before that.

The Vision Pro, as amusing as it surely is, is way, way down the road beyond even that purchase.

Having the money to spend on something — whether a personal or business expense - means engaging with the opportunity cost of spending the money.

And even if you comfortably have the money, you still question the value.

What is going on right now is a lot of people have a Vision Pro on fifteen day approval and they are all feverishly writing blog posts and tweets to explore every possible way that they could get other people to validate their impulse purchase. Because that’s what it is. Unless you’re going to build an app for it —- go all-in on that ecosystem —- it’s a weird thing to prioritise spending $3500 on.
To be clear, not advocating for FOSS here, in fact almost the opposite, I want the full force of capitalism to be free to solve these problems without arbitrary barriers erected by big tech gatekeepers.
