Ah, since I see the peanut gallery needs some education.

the control yokes got desynchronised from one another which isn't supposed to happen

No, that's precisely what's supposed to happen. Seriously. On an Airbus with sidesticks opposing inputs get you a dual input warning and have a button to lock out the other set of controls, and the computers just average the inputs. On a Boeing with yokes (e.g. the 777 in question) the way you overcome opposing inputs is simply to pull harder. Past a certain point (I want to say about 50 lb of force), the torque tube linking the controls "breaks" and the controls are desynchronized. If memory serves that means each pilot gets control of the elevator on one side.

Worst of all, Boeing doesn't warn in any way if that happens, because why would they?

This is also wildly inaccurate. The yokes are mechanically connected up until you apply enough force to break the connection. The feedback you get as a result serves as a warning. Airbus uses the aural and visual warnings because their sidesticks aren't backfed and you'd otherwise have no idea what the other pilot is doing.

There was no hardware failure. Air France simply trains their pilots to a very low standard compared to other airlines.

But really we need to make it a requirement for congressional folks (parliamentary too) to divest from corporate sponsorship in order to be in office and that they understand that their seat can be revoked should they not follow the “will of the people” or whatever your constitution says.

In the US, more and more Congress people are on the boards or funded by Big Tech to the point where all it takes is a little one-on-one meeting and your entire stance flip flops. Is the US banning TikTok? Not? Yes? No? Now we aren’t? Oh it’s back on? Nope, nevermind.

I lost hope that Congress would ever understand science after Bush vs Gore.

A mean Ph of 3.10 for Taiwanese apple cider vinegar, and 2.78 for "Imported" apple cider vinegar. Somehow I can't believe what I'm reading but you appear to be correct and if anything are understating your case. Amazing what adding obscene amounts of sugar to a beverage will do to our perception of sourness. What you're saying is so counter-intuitive your post was grey by the time I got to it but unpopular doesn't mean wrong.

Honestly this mostly makes me worry about coca-cola though... maybe we should be diluting it and drinking it through a straw :)
I look forward to buying a cheap “base” car that requires a ton of subscriptions… and then not buying a single one, keeping it a cheap car.
If this is real, it should be very easy to replicate in further studies. The protocol is exceedingly simple. I hope to see it proven in further studies because this would be an incredibly easy and inexpensive intervention for the billions of people that struggle with their weight.

> You won't remember Parquet in 15 years, but you will have CSV files in 50 years.

You're probably right about CSV but probably not parquet. Parquet is already 11 years old, there are vast data warehouses that store parquet, it's first class in the spark ecosystem, and a key component of iceberg. Crucially, formats like parquet are "good enough" for a use case that doesn't appear to be going away. There is a high probability in my estimation that enough places are still using them in 15 years to be memorable even if it isn't as common or as visible.
If you paid for 100 years why do you also have to pay yearly?

Same with me. I don’t get a full migraine, just an aura. When it first happened, I thought I had a detached retina and started freaking out a bit.

Interestingly, it seems to trigger for me when I’m staring closely at a bright computer screen, with my neck strongly arched. Usually that happens with a non-ergonomic position like sitting on the floor with my laptop.

I found this confusing, too. My take is that by "three doses" they are referring to the 5, 10 and 15ml, since effects were found for all of those groups.
Larry Mcenerney's lectures on how to write effectively are gold for getting better at writing.
There's a lot packed in his lectures, but a big core idea is that you should use writing to help you do your thinking. With complex subject matter, writing is thinking. The thing that we've been taught is writing is more akin to publishing (i.e. the editing you do to share your thoughts with other people after you've finished writing and thinking for yourself).

If it's been a few years since you gave Linux a try, I'd strongly recommend giving it another go.

I had 2 macbooks fail simultaneously over the new year, and instead of laying down the $$$ for a new m3 mackbook, I put a linux station together, with the intent for it to be a windows dual boot.

At this point a couple of months later, windows is no more than a KVM/QEMU virtual machine (and runs its DAW/synth apps, significantly faster and with greater stability than either of my dead m1 macbooks ever did.)

Best tool for the job has changed.

An equipment manuifacturer who's goal is for hw failures to trigger a new purchase and not a repair should be enough incentive to ditch them. We all know Apple has fallen way further than that.

They're a litigious, anti-consumer company that hides behind some fake, faded, John Lennon esque / hipster image.

Time to cut them loose, isn't it?
Are we talking thousands of domains or something? It’s been quite simple in my personal experience, just first creating matching DNS records anywhere else, then do the NS change for the domain, then do the registrar transfer.
I’ve never had downtime.
A startup I worked for years ago initially had a temporary office in a coworking space that catered to artists and craftspeople, in a renovated warehouse near the freeway loop downtown.

They didn't have air conditioning, which isn't particularly strange in the PNW, but we did learn opening the windows for breeze was a very bad idea. The amount of tire and brake dust/soot that would pile up in a single afternoon was disturbing.

We were only in there temporarily for a few months, but boy did it underscore to me how much of an unappreciated health and pollution hazard freeways are.
> Same with attention in feed forward networks requiring exponential time with a reduction in expressability.

Huh? Can you say more about that? What takes exponential time with transformers?
Rockets essentially mostly consist of things that are intended to go boom with very little prodding. On top of that, the force on a rocket engine makes it prefer to make the rocket engine go through the rocket rather than pushing the entire rocket itself, and it requires careful engineering to make it not do that. Combined, this means that if anything goes slightly wrong, it tends to cascade into going horribly wrong and cause the rocket to explode.

In this case, though, it seems that the guidance system or something similar was going wrong, and the rocket was intentionally blown up in a safer location than an uncontrolled trajectory might have taken it.
whoever wrote that line of code has the coolest job in the world.

Somehow I am inspired to write a variety of WWII-era US Army-style training manuals for operating my complex systems.
I learned multi-threaded programming on OS/2 back in the late 80s. Ever since, I have designed any code I have written to handle multiple threads, even if I thought only a single thread would execute it.

That has saved me many rewrites over the years when other threads were introduced.

When I began writing my new data management system, multi-threading was designed into every component. It is thrilling when your code runs nearly twice as fast simply because you run it on a CPU with twice as many cores.

I'm already paying for a mobile phone; I'm happy to use CarPlay / Android Auto (where it projects a screen like VNC). I don't want a separate connection in the car that I'll need to pay for. I don't really need a data connection in the car directly while I drive.

Anecdote: I have a newer ICE car (okay not so new anymore), and its entertainment system rebooted while I was driving at speed at one point. It was fine because that's unrelated to driving functions. I would not be happy if that included my speedometer (which was an old school dial in that vehicle).

I wonder if balsamic vinegar has a similar impact. I've been eating salads basically every day for lunch lately with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. I just like the taste and it's so easy to make. Don't need to cook/clean, just whip up some veggies and blast it with balsamic and olive oil.
The placebo was dilute lactic acid of similar pH. So one might imagine that the acidity didn’t cause the effect and try neutralizing the vinegar. Add, for example, calcium carbonate (cheap and safe) to convert most of the acetic acid to calcium acetate, leaving a neutral solution with extra calcium. Whatever magic other compounds in apple cider vinegar are beneficial seem likely to survive that process intact. The net result would be similar to drinking the vinegar and eating an antacid, minus the tooth damage.

If you're worried about the cost of kombucha, you can bring it down close to zero by doing it yourself. It's as easy as replicating kefir.
Yeah, quite a lot is lost via oral, I do worry with the dosing being uncertain with different stomach conditions resulting in different effective doses. Due to the cost savings I'll stick with injecting but totally understand that most people are adverse to that.

Permanent gastroparesis is nightmare fuel and I worry about people assuming ozempic a safe drug and being cavalier with the higher doses. There is a risk/trust dynamic between doctors and patients where doctors want to keep doses on the 'known path' and patients trust their doctors a bit too much.
Bluesky still retains final cut with centralized censorship. This is a problem that strikes directly at the heart of the danger of social media.

The car industry is really hemorrhaging money if they need to resort to nickel and diming the consumers. The consumer segment of car transportation (ie, personal vehicles) is coming to an end.

I have yet to see any decent innovations in the personal vehicle segment. Designs haven’t changed in a long time. Efficiency is going backwards, at least in the US, as manufacturers begin to push larger vehicles for the insecure motorist.

It really is silly.

> One was the rate at which provinces claimed by China (like Hong Kong, Macau, and Tibet) have eventually been absorbed, peacefully or by force; another was how often control of Taiwan has changed over the last few hundred years (twice; once when Japan took over from the Qing Empire in 1895 and once when the Chinese Nationalists did in 1945); the third base rate used Laplace’s rule. Laplace’s rule states that the probability of something that hasn’t happened before happening is 1 divided by N+2, where N is the number of times it hasn’t happened in the past. So the odds of the People’s Republic of China invading Taiwan this year is 1 divided by 75 (the number of years since 1949 when this has not happened) plus 2, or 1/77, or 1.3 percent.

The first rate is maybe since 1949 (or maybe 1841 or 1557?), the second is over an arbitrary number of centuries, and the last is also since 1949, but could be calculated wildly differently if rephrased as "years mainland Chinese government has control over Taiwan" and extended back to the Qing dynasty. Somehow these are compatible to do an average of.

Then "He nudged up to 12 percent." Not that estimated percent chances can ever really be "wrong".

Been slinging code since 1999 (practicum/internship). Started writing InstallShield scripts and Junit tests (Junit 1.0). Next 10 years were Java / C++ / VisualBasic. Was always trying to avoid the JavaScript revolution (I am a real programmer I said lol). Fast forward to today and I sling TypeScript / Angular / Java as a Senior Software Engineer. Had the chance to move up about 2 years ago and did not even apply (need to apply for promotions at the company I am at). Everyone asked why and I see what happens to my coworkers once they do. Still expected to support every app they have ever worked on and do 8+ hours of meetings a day. The pay is more but so is the stress. I have a great family and just want to enjoy my life. I also work a second job facilitating online courses for a major University when I want to pick up a course and make my fun money (plus get to learn more than any of the students in the courses). I still love coding be it evergreen or legacy. I am not ruling out moving up the ladder, but for now still happy slinging code…. I guess if you have 20 years in I only have slightly more, but man I see the burnout above me (talking to people who were once joyful and fun to be around, now snippy and stressed) and just want to enjoy life.

That is how it's designed, yes!
You are right that there is a difference between products and libs and it seems difficult to get donations or yearly support for libs. Good that it's meant to be another option. I'd like to say that service has helped me get XWiki off the ground, for a product too, but that while you do it you need to have in mind "how to I make the product sustainable with recurrent revenue".

For libs, I believe what you need to think about is who the lib maintaners are and in what context do they do it ? How many are freelancers ? How many employed ?

One thing that you could do in your service is to allow for links to donations and maybe chip in extra in the service costs even if it's not demanded. I still think that the donation market can expand with open source funds. At XWiki we have a fund (for which we have a hard time completing the work of project sélection). One thing we miss most is knowing which projects really need to donations.

As you say, it's hard to get the superiors to even give a donation. However if you can mask the donation in some "needed service" it can work. At XWiki we created open source extensions which are paying (not packaged for free). I'm not sure for libs it work though.

If you are interested in how we got XWiki off the ground and funded, I had a fosdem talk about it. There are slides and video here: https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-1830-20-y...

Lexus ES has an optional cloud navigation subscription. I don’t think most people sign up for it, because you can use smart phone integration, but it would be frustrating if you had to have a subscription for the smart phone integration to work.

I can see having a subscription for features which require ongoing updates, but the reality is that manufacturers will collect the money and probably not ever do much to keep software which implements features updated.

I agree that privacy is not inherently money laundering deep in my bones. I spent three years of my life attempting to improve Bitcoin mixers.

The issue is that if you run a mixer and someone says "please launder my drug money" you reject that person's coins unless you like Federal prison. It is like if you run a gun store and someone comes in and asks for a gun "to rob a bank", that person is a Federal agent and if you sell them a gun an indictment is forthcoming.

Ask HN: Does Anyone Use Prompt Books for Developing with GitHub Copilot?
Heya HN!

I'm exploring ways to integrate GitHub Copilot more effectively into my daily development work across different domains: web, backend, and mobile app development. My idea is to create a "prompt book" for each domain, containing common tasks and queries. This would allow me to quickly use Copilot to generate detailed code snippets based on a curated list of prompts tailored to the task at hand.

As an example Copilot for security has a prompt book pre-built by MS for security tasks:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/security-copilot/using-promptbooks

In the domain of backend programming this could help with:

- stub code for endpoints
- stub code for common file types
- stub code for types of integration and unit testing
- answer common questions like whether an API change is breaking
- give tips on common logging and error handling cases

It's all meant to help speed up development but a strong understanding of the material is still required to avoid wonkiness.

I'm curious to know if anyone in the community has experience creating or using prompt books with Copilot. Are there existing resources out there, or has anyone found this approach beneficial for their development workflow? Any insights, examples, or resources you could share would be greatly appreciated. :D
Why would I want that? My phone can provide data via Bluetooth or a hotspot if needed. I don't need to pay for an extra mobile connection.
It really doesn’t make sense to lay out a lot of capital costs to outfit the cars for features, while driving the customer payments for that capital down by asking for subscriptions.

Or maybe you baseline the price higher so it doesn’t matter if only 50% of the customer base pays, but now you’re putting yourself at a price disadvantage vs competitors so don’t put partially utilized cost components on their cars.
