Let's assume that they did change the course when they were sure they can do that.

Pilots can't look at the rear view mirror, and see the whole plane. Accident reports on engine malfunctions routinely mention that someone had to check their appearance through the passenger window, and relay that to the pilots. In case of a blast so severe that the door flies off, it is safer to assume the worst. Say, that part of the plane disintegrated because of sudden collision. In such conditions, indications on what works and what doesn't are probably really messy and unreliable, and there can be not enough means to control the plane properly. Lower the nose too much, and you might not be able to pull it up any more.

Pilots probably did checklists with one eye on the instruments to check that they were not losing speed, that angles were correct, autopilot inputs resulted in stable flying, and so on, and deduced that everything still worked. By that time, they were probably informed that the plane was seemingly intact, although with a hole in its side.
While I have not claimed that private entities are exempt from engaging in violence, the essence of the state, is it not, lies in its exclusive dominion over violence, ostensibly to foster a non-violent society?

This assertion is far from nonsensical; it is a veritable truth, one conspicuously absent from educational curricula, likely because states find the acknowledgment of their historical predilection for violence too ignominious to bear. Taxation stands as the state’s principal means of amassing resources. Yet, for those states compelled to engage in warfare, mere taxation proves insufficient. Here, the utility of modern fiat currency becomes apparent, facilitating the acquisition of resources beyond what a transparent tax rate would permit. Through fiat, the dilatory effects of inflation serve the dual purpose of either being dismissed as unrelated in the event of victory—perhaps offset by the spoils thereof—or, in the case of defeat, rationalized as a war’s consequence. Regardless, the result is the same: a surreptitious expropriation of the populace’s wealth.

State-initiated actions, notably famine and war, rank as the foremost causes of human mortality, surpassing even health crises and natural calamities.

The inception of the modern fiat system, marked by the establishment of the Bank of England, was explicitly intended for waging war. Indeed, the very creation of the contemporary British Pound was predicated on this bellicose objective.

It's not that. I'm American and I've never heard anyone use "learnings" instead of "lessons". It has to be coming from a specific subculture, though I have no idea where.
That's not true for many, many planes, and there are very many private planes that are not jets and the owners are not rich. Thousands and thousands are homebuilts.

Go to https://www.faa.gov, and on the front page there's a place to enter an airplane registration number and get, along with other info, the name and address of the owner.

The vast majority of airspace does not "require very clear tracking of objects", and is less controlled than a highway. It does not require particular permission besides following the "rules of the road", and is free to use with nobody knowing you're there. I must assume you are referring to airspace which is either around busy airports (cities) or very high (airliner territory) - Class A/B/C/D airspaces.

I agree in that the right amount of regulation probably heavily varies between places and over time, but I'd just like to challenge the idea that anything other than complete liberalization of housing investments will inevitably lead to inefficiencies.

> Vienna and Singapore are outliers [...]

A model that has to explain away two historically, culturally, and geographically distinct cities as outliers is not very compelling to me.

Again, I'm not proposing that more regulation is always good, but as soon as e.g. long-term residents are massively getting priced out by outside investors or homeowners start opposing new construction exclusively because of the impact on their property value due to an increase in supply (rather than for actual decreased quality of life), the incentives of the free market start drifting apart from those of the people actually living there.

> It's also hard when you're spending money educating your citizens for those high paying tech jobs and over half of them go to the USA [1] [2] [3] [4].

Yes, you are correct that the USA is bigger and has more money than Canada. If you think about it globally (as one should), but it's worth noting that they're not so much moving to the USA as they are specifically the Seattle & Bay Area, and they're doing so at lower rates than for comparable Americans living outside those areas. Also worth noting, for the most part, they aren't founding companies in the US. The pattern is to go to the US, work for large tech companies, and about half return to Canada within 5-10 years, which is when they're more likely to engage in entrepreneurial pursuits.

Just looking at the financial might of Seattle & the Bay Area, it's amazing that 90% of Canada's innovators and entrepreneurs aren't in the US. It suggests that the country is perhaps more supportive of innovation than this narrative being presented.

> That and lack of venture capital/funding and, I've heard, increased government barriers compared to the USA, reduce the number of local tech companies.

The conservative financial system and comparative size of Canada does mean there is much less "free money" flowing around, though as demonstrated from the examples I provided, companies do procure foreign investment, particularly from the US, with comparative ease.

...and while you'll always here entrepreneurs complain about government barriers, having started up companies on both sides of the border, I can tell you that in many ways Canada has comparatively smaller government barriers. In particular, the universal health care and generally more significant social safety net also means that it's a lot easier for prospective entrepreneurs to leave jobs at stable businesses and take on greater risk. It's just one of many ways that while it is harder to get capital in Canada, you don't need as much to get going. This is probably part of the reason that a larger percentage of Canada's labour force (67.7%) [1] is employed by small businesses than the US (46.4%). [2]

AI hubs in Toronto & Montreal are more than just satellite offices for USA companies. You may recall that Geoffrey Hinton, "Godfather of AI", was in Toronto, teaching at U of T, when Google bought the startup he founded with Alex Krizhevsky & Ilya Sutskever... in Toronto. The modern AI revolution traces back to innovative work in... Toronto!

Even better than failover is reliability. I fought with pi-holes for years. Now I have a pfsense firewall and I'm no longer hacking together half solutions to networking challenges or rerolling an OS on a new SD card once a year.
I continue to find the comparison weird. The devices aren’t in the same league, but people are comparing them like they are. Like some sort of attempt to play the old “Apple stuff is just what we already have recycled and more expensive for sheeple” stuff.

Why would anyone be surprised the Vision Pro is better on every comparable axis than a device that costs $3k less?

The quest is cheaper and has controllers. That makes it better for things that need 3D controllers.

They’re not really aimed at the same demographics, same use cases, same abilities. They prioritized different things.

But both are headsets so the comparisons continue.
No, recipe is not the same as blueprint. As I posted just upthread, a blueprint has a lot more detailed information than a recipe.

In addition to that, a blueprint has a different kind of information. A blueprint for a human body, for example, would tell you the general plan of the body, where the organs go, how things are connected, etc. Yes, it might leave small details, like the exact location of each minor blood vessel or nerve fiber, up to the constructors, but it still is giving you an overall plan.

DNA, however, does not do anything like this. DNA information is more like (I'm giving time frames off the top of my head here, so they're probably off, but I think the general idea is correct) "at week 1 after fertilization, split into three layers; at week 3, start differentiating cell types in each layer; at week 5..." and so on. And even that information is very incomplete; it's depending on a lot of external factors to be a certain way, like blood supply from the mother, particular hormones being present at particular times in particular concentrations, etc. There is nowhere in any of that where it says "the final body in general has a head, torso, two arms, two legs, the heart goes here, the brain goes here", etc. All of those things are emergent results from the process. So much more like a recipe than a blueprint.
This is actually only available in Signal for Android (the desktop and iOS clients lack this feature), and also, as you note, it's not really in a usable format.

WhatsApp allows easy plain text export, which is much more usable. The fact that Signal doesn't support such a basic feature is, IMO, inexcusable.

One thing that I have noticed confuses a lot of people is "timeseries joins" (I don't know the real term for this) I'm talking about where there is no "one to one" match between keys in the two tables.

I'm a non software type of engineer in my world a lot of tables are structured as timeseries data (such as readings from a device or instrument) which uses timestamp as a key.

Then we have other tables which log event or batch data (such as an alarm start and end time, or Machine start/machine stop etc).

So a lot of queries end up being of the form

Select A.AlarmId, B.Reading, B.Timestamp from Alarms A, Readings B where A.StartTime >= B.Timestamp and A.EndTime < B.Timestamp

A lot of people seem to have problems grasping these kinds of joins.
Radiation is electromagnetic waves. These waves, or photons if you wish, exist in vacuum, and have various frequencies from very low to very high. The energy of a photon or wave depends on the frequency, and is given by the Panck's formula; we don't care about this particular form. A volume of vacuum that is in equilibrium with its surroundings has a certain temperature. If you take the sum of the energies of all the photons inside that volume, you get a number that is proportional to T^4. This is called Stefan's law.

If you take a volume of plasma with a certain average kinetic energy per particle (i.e. a certain temperature), then that average kinetic energy per particle may be higher or lower than the average energy of the photons in the same volume. If it's higher, then the plasma will radiate, and the average energy of the photons will go up, if it's lower, the photons will give heat to the plasma, and the plasma will get hotter.

When they were working on making the fusion bomb, they initially did not think they can create an equilibrium between the plasma and the vacuum, in other words the vacuum was colder and the plasma will leak energy to the vacuum continuously. The hope was that enough fusion will happen so that the produced energy will make up for this heat loss and the reaction will continue for a while. That didn't happen. Fusion bombs that don't reach an equilibrium between the plasma and the vacuum were made and detonated, but their bang was underwhelming.

Ulam and Teller came up with the breakthrough that resulted in an equilibrium, and a sustained fusion. The bomb they made (well, not the two of them, the other scientists and engineers) yielded 10 megatons of TNT, which was many times what one can obtain with either regular fission bombs, or with non-equilibrium fusion bombs. If their discovery was a peaceful one, they would have gotten a Nobel for sure.

> I've been told that Ford/Lincoln is using licensed Toyota drivetrain technology too.

I heard that too but couldn't find a recent source that they still did when I researched that a little more than a year ago. From what I remember, they're using something simpler now; one axle is gas and one is electric and it'll just switch between the two automatically.

I have the Corsair and it's great. If you're careful about putting it in EV mode every time you start the car (it defaults to hybrid) and charge at home, it doesn't use any gas for daily stuff that's within range.

Edit: This may be different for the Escape. The PHEV Escape seems to be front wheel drive while the Corsair is all wheel drive.

The DIY AppView and/or Relay is super interesting, but that more straightforward concept of "you own your identity and you own your data" is such a powerful hook that I'd love to be able to share something straight from the docs.bsky.app domain on how to do it.
Improving the existing command line for humans is a waste of effort. It's an heirloom activity already, unless you forbid the use of LLM AI.

It's inefficient for even the simplest AI model to use a CLI, so API's are the future. But using API's to create a k8s cluster are pretty primitive too. The nearish future is things like unikernels running LLM's and rule-based logic engines and data-lakes. LLM's can help you create rule-based logic engines and data-lakes, so win-win.

Window desktops are dead. MacOS is a zombie with lipstick. Linux desktops are like playing an electronic harpsichord. Linux servers and Windows servers are dead too. Who cares? CEO's ask "How many widgets did we sell this quarter and will I get a bonus?" Regular people ask "When is my next dental appointment, how do I get wine stains out of my rug, what's good on TV? " [There are more important questions but people probably won't ask their device and expect a useful answer]

All of these things current LLM AI can answer with 90% accurancy, which is better than human accuracy. General AI is not necessary for pretty significant changes in the status quo. The IT sector's only future purpose is to help train models, IMHO. And future means now, not in 10/20/50/ years.

For many of us with loud exhausts, the aim isn't noise... It is free flowing gasses allowing the engine to produce more power. The noise is what it is for that.

That said, as a loud car driver, I can't stand people who map pops-and-bangs into their car or buy loud exhausts for loudness sake. It is lame, from an engineering standpoint.

Also those of us with loud, modified, high performance cars appreciate engineering. With this comes maps and exhaust valves to allow the car to be quieter at 3am.

Point is, we are not all the same. A ban would treat me as a criminal to punish the others.

Isn't this something we argue is bad all the time here? Such as surveillance of everyone as if they're criminals for the sake of crime reduction?

The situation with loud cars is more nuanced.

Not sure why your comment was downvoted to death.

> However if I had to guess code becoming spaghetti is more a symptom of collaboration between many individuals over a span of time rather than an issue with a specific programming language.

That's definitely one path towards spaghetti code. An inexperienced developer can make a mess of their own codebase without contributors also though.

I do agree that it's very rarely the result of an actual defect in the chosen programming language. You can write clean code in almost any general purpose programming language, and conversely, you can write bad code in any language as well.
