It's not just about safety, it's about the flying experience and environmental responsibility.

If you think "flying sucks" it's probably because you've flown in a 737 and similar (A320) aircraft.

Many people find it highly stressful to fly in a 737-class airplane because the curve of the fuselage is circular. My neck starts to lock up just thinking about it, but you don't have the same problem riding in a car, bus, or train because those vehicles have straight sides. Modern aircraft like the A220 and E2-Jet have a shape compatible with the human body such that today's "regional jets" feel more like riding in a widebody airliner than a 737. It's the kind of thing that's hard to believe until you experience it for yourself.

The 737 is exceptionally loud, particularly for the flight crew, but also for the passengers and innocent people on the ground. If you think flying sucks it could be because you remember walking out of a 737 with your ears ringing -- and nobody told you it doesn't have to be that way.

The A320 has a reliable fly-by-wire system with numerous benefits, not least the plane being able to automatically cancel out some turbulence, another small thing that leaves you feeling better when you reach your destination.

The 737 struggles to take off under good conditions, requiring much more runway than many much larger planes. Next summer you'll see headlines that "airplanes" are grounded at some airports in the US Southwest, you should replace "airplanes" with "737s".

Airplane manufacturers have wasted enough resources on widebody airliners that nobody wants

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A380

and the industry needs to get real to the fact that narrowbody airliners are responsible for most of the flights and most of the social and environmental impact of aviation: domestic flyers in the U.S. deserve something better than a 1967 design.
The 'canon' way to do multi-language development is via IntelliJ Ultimate. I have no idea how well it works for rust at the moment, since RustRover is still in pre-release.

Update: I gave it a quick go, and it seem to have feature parity with RustRover. Give it a shot if you haven't.

>There were still helicopters and slower ground attack aircraft to do gun defense against

The biggest reason why gun systems are avoided nowadays is simply range. You are mostly unable to fling slugs out beyond 10 miles, while a Patriot and friends can reach out and ruin a day at 100 miles. The helicopter itself likely has a weapon that will ruin YOUR day out to about 12 miles. That means the helicopter safely murders you, and you cannot defend against it.

Also MANPADS take up the 10 mile air defense slack nowadays, which is why nobody developed anything further into SPAAGs, right up until everyone had the same "oh god time to re-learn how to skeet shoot against small drones" idea
In the data world I've worked with tons of folks whose responsibilities include getting questions from execs, knowing their way around the data warehouse enough to write SQL to answer those questions, and delivering the answers back (sometimes formatted nicely). Sometimes they have to predict what followup questions the exec will ask, like "why is that number so low, it obviously shouldn't be that low" so they can press the data engineers for bugs.

Like all things LLM, I don't know if this is about to make those responsibilities a lot easier, or just eliminate them altogether.

> Yes, you get good-looking notes but in math, since everything is written down so nicely already somewhere

That was my first question as well: there shouldn't be a need to take notes because the class should be provided in a written form (a book, something). Such that the student can focus on understanding what's happening instead of just writing down what the teacher says.

If taking notes helps understanding, that's different. But I doubt that writing in LateX particularly helps, on the contrary...
The main difference is that Deno was thought to evolve hand in hand with browsers since the beginning. Node followed its own way and fragmented the JS ecosystem. It got to a point where it was basically impossible to realign Node's direction without breaking everyone's codebase. Mistakes will be made in Deno, but the direction of the project now takes into account the ecosystem as a whole.

The fact that SAT scores are directly proportional to how much time, effort and money you have spent in preparation should tell you that it is very different from a general IQ test.
I think the framing here is somewhat important. Your post can make it seem as if Earhart was someone who over-exaggerated her own achievements, however from what I remember, she was generally quite honest and up-front about the limits and weaknesses of her piloting skills.

She frequently described her landings as poor, and also said that learning to fly was a long, drawn-out process for her.

The image she cultivated was one of a gutsy risk-taker who doesn't take no for an answer, not as a master pilot. She is remembered for her attitude and how it relates to gender norms in the broader context, and I would still say, rightfully so.

> In many of her 'firsts' she was little more than an observer, with her mechanic or others flying the plane while she rode along

I can't quite comment on the "many" part, but again, it's something she was pretty honest about when it happened, to my knowledge. E.g. on the (initial) transatlantic flight, her words: "Stultz did all the flying—had to. I was just baggage, like a sack of potatoes."

I can't confirm that, I always think in whole words when typing. This goes so far that my brain sometimes gets too far ahead, and I start typing homophones.
"The argument that the execs must be the one to choose the foam to be liable is a bit silly. While in some white collar crimes, you will find individual actions by execs, such as in banking and tobacco, that's rarely the case."

Sure. Generally criminal liability (in the US) requires a "guilty mind".
That is, you have to have the intention/knowledge of wrongdoing for it to be criminal, regardless of the acts.

This isn't always true (there are strict liability crimes, etc), but it's mostly true.

What you are suggesting would not really be in line with that, at least in the US.

Now, we could as a society decide we have a big enough problem that we want more strict liablity crimes for execs. I don' feel like i have a good enough understanding of the practical tradeoffs/data to have a strong opinion there yet.

No it doesn't. That's called cherry picking data to fit a preconceived conclusion.
Right, but what I think they're trying to do is to confirm that the larger, more comprehensive study also applies to Dartmouth. But the fact that they didn't also run the test against other metrics might suggest they didn't want to publish that data publicly.

Or if you're more cynical, they failed to produce those results.
I was just saying this would not be an extinction event. Which it won't be.

The world order is decaying anyway due to all the hardliner world leaders I mentioned, all intent on conflict. But I don't think this has an awful lot to do with the climate issue. More with overpopulation and countries like China getting richer and wanting to play the geopower game.

And yeah it may well be very bad for me but there really isn't anything I can do about it. I stand by my original point that it's not a human extinction-level event though.

As an end consumer, you should be well versed in SQL (or whatever subject) yourself and should proof read twice all the queries generated before you make a decision based on the data that's pulled from the generated queries.

It's not ridiculous at all. Not all leaders can be negotiated with, that is simply my point. Maybe as an American you do not understand the depth of feeling, it does not affect you because you don't live here and subsequently you don't care. You can regress into the isolationism that the US likes to embrace every now and then. But we still have to live with an imperialist Russia on our door step.

> (Germany) is a major dove on this issue.

No, they're not dovish, they're just not leaders and not willing to take initiative and require others to move first. That stems from their history. They've sent huge amounts of aid already to Ukraine (~1% of GDP versus 0.2% of GDP for the USA).

> Europe’s economy is in shambles

I mean, it's not as good as the USA's, but it's not in shambles. It's relatively OK. I live here. I'd rather live here than in Russia. Russia is a glorified petrol station with nukes and a military. Europe's economy still absolutely dwarfs Russia's. When I speak to my (many) Russian colleagues, it's clear they'd rather be here in Germany than in Russia.

> US were to push for détente

It's not realistic. The only person who is going to do that is Trump. There's no scenario where we Europeans just give up our security and let imperial war conquests become acceptable on our continent (not yours, yank) for the sake of Trump's ego. Why? Because we think he's completely retarded. Only Americans like him. And how would we benefit exactly from trading away our security? How can the US force us? All it would do is seal the USA's historic break from its European allies (And I know it's not popular at the moment in the USA, but any one with a basic understanding of geopolitics knows that the USA's strongest asset its just how many rich and powerful allies it has). Good luck standing up to China alone, in that case. Then the West is truly fucked!

> No, compiling is proving, not testing. This is fundamentally different. Testing can only demonstrate the correctness for the data being tested with (and for the execution paths exercised). Compiling proves correctness properties for all executions and all inputs. Compiling with a static type system is like proving a mathematical theorem. Testing is like evaluating a mathematical formula for specific inputs.

For a lot of languages, yes. For rust, no.

Bought a new computer, tried to compile Mesa, failed: rust compiler too old. Try to compile a newer rust compiler, failed with missing (cargo) dependencies.

So for rust, compiling _is_ testing.

Do you consider the Playstation 4 hardware "top end"? I'm mostly thinking about SMP and IO performance.

See the geometric mean results here: https://www.phoronix.com/review/3990x-freebsd-bsd/5

"At 16 cores, RHEL8-based CentOS was about 17% faster than FreeBSD 12.1 while at 128 threads the lead expanded to 28% based upon the geometric mean or 21% when comparing the GCC9 results on FreeBSD 12.1."

It's my understanding that FreeBSD 13 has narrowed the gap a little bit. I was a total NetBSD fanboy at the beginning of my career, but was eventually forced to move away when Linux's momentum inexorably made running NetBSD (and FreeBSD) harder.

Having only cursory knowledge with machine learning are some of the techniques used in the article only recently discovered or have they been around for a while?

Is it due to us having reached an inflection point with these types of algorithms that they have become more popular and thus we are seeing new ways to apply them to old problems?

> domestic flyers in the U.S. deserve something better than a 1967 design.

Or maybe the market has spoken. Similar to how people complain about lack of legroom but proceed to book with airlines that have less legroom because it's cheaper, they're happy to fly on 1967 design planes to save a buck.
Here's the money quote:

>> Importantly, these test scores better position Admissions to identify high-achieving less-advantaged applicants and high-achieving applicants who attend high schools for which Dartmouth has less information to interpret the transcripts.

Precisely. SATs aren't about hurting the poor or disadvantaged. It's about giving them a chance.

"Under the broken windows theory, an ordered and clean environment, one that is maintained, sends the signal that the area is monitored and that criminal behavior is not tolerated. Conversely, a disordered environment, one that is not maintained (broken windows, graffiti, excessive litter), sends the signal that the area is not monitored and that criminal behavior has little risk of detection."

It is 'just' a criminology theory, with many people who disagree with it.

Two things:

1. Although the article states that the problem is with MAX planes, I am under the impression that this particular part of the design is common to all 737s. It might currently be limited to production runs of the MAX, but I don't think that's clear, and in theory the same defect is potentially in any recent 737. If anyone has better info, please let me know.

2. If it is limited to MAX and you're flying in the US, you can opt for Delta, which doesn't currently operate MAX. It does have 100 order for 2025, but for now, you're in the clear.

Contrary to what some may think: I would strongly suspect that particularly high scores on SAT/ACT would also correlate fairly strongly with well-paying job placements and long term GPA.

Note I am not saying that people who don't do particularly well on SAT/ACT can't also succeed on college and beyond, I had a pretty average score myself and consider myself fairly successful. But all the people I know who had the highest scores on SAT's were also the people most motivated to study and work extremely hard whether it be based on family pressure or just an inherent drive to be better than everyone else, and even to this day these people I knew who had scores in like the top 95+% are for the most part the most successful people I know primarily just due to an inherent drive to succeed at all costs.

Of course this will also depend on what metric you use for success. Also of course there will be people who do extremely poorly in traditional education but become wildly successful.
That might just be tradition. Driving license classes also use weight as a proxy.

Some of my professors leveraged MOOCs (massive open online courses) and "inverted" their classes: they recorded a video of them giving the class, and asked the students to watch it before the class. During the class, the teachers would be here to answer questions and go deeper into the material.

I loved it, because I could watch the video at my speed (with as many interruptions as I wanted).
