Cool! If you end up wanting to expand beyond just the nearest weather station (forgive me if I've misunderstood your process), you could look into ERA5 - free Numerical Weather Prediction 'reanalysis' of past weather on a regular grid. openmeteo has some open source tools for extracting time series data from it.

But, although you get good spatial coverage, the drawback is 'the map is not the territory' - the model's representarion of reality doesn't perfectly mesh with the weather on the ground.
I've noticed something else particular to my native tongue. It lacks emotion. I just don't really know how to express myself in English. I can speak very technically and logically, but I'm stumped when it comes to matters of the heart.

My Japanese, on the other hand, isn't fluent, but I'm able to tap into way more emotion. It feels as if I'm singing when I nail a great sentence in nihongo. It really lands with the listener and I feel emotionally connected in that moment.

Could this be related to the increased brain activity required for foreign language?
I sometimes wonder if people think forecasts are bad because they think of it in terms of: there are two possibilities, the forecast will be wrong, or it won’t. Therefore, the weatherman should be right at least half the time.

Of course, there are countless ways for the for the forecast to be wrong, and only a couple ways for the forecast to be right!
Yeah, that's a valid take. But if that's true, then Rust isn't giving them an edge (yet?). So it isn't the most important engineering task.

If you're saying there's no technical path to success for Mozilla... well, that might be true, but I could see that being demotivating for Mozilla engineers.

Apple devices are constantly phoning home every time they see a random AirTag out in the world.

You'd think that if their users are accepting that level of communications with the mothership that they could ship some AI model to hear rainfall in the wild, and thus improve their live weather data.
I'm actually surprised their example wasn't the accidental use of a valid ID, not an invalid one. An invalid one is easily catchable, but an invalid one is akin to a bad pointer. The resulting behavior will slip by the Rust compiler, as we're basically using integers as pointers, and you can get all sorts of shadow-clone versions of malignant pointer behavior like use-after-free in such a scheme.

That said … there are ways in Rust to do circular data structures that don't have the problems that using indexing into an array has, and are memory safe, and are within the safe subset of Rust. (E.g., Rc/Arc.)

That depends on how you define the market. Boeing and Airbus are the only two manufacturers of large civil airliners on the worldwide market. But there is a second tier including Bombardier, Embraer, Comac, Mitsubishi, and UAC which either manufacture smaller (regional) airliners or have more limited sales options.
Instincts often cheat you. I'm not saying that it's healthy but Does it really have any effect at all? What's the concentration of particles? How harful is it comparing to cooking or peeling onions? Do we need to care about it at all?
People will perhaps not be used to using JIRA and have no idea about processes like Scrum sprints and the purposes of demos and retrospectives. They could try to micromanage your work and make top down decisions with little autonomy and set your deadlines without asking you first. I would suggest you try to educate them about development best practices including some degree of freedom/trust for developer teams and the value of feedback loops and some involvement from the business and good requirements.

Good luck!
The problem is fixable in C++. std::span is the fat pointer; std::array is the checked array. All that's missing is a compiler option that gives warnings/errors when the legacy native [] features are used.

C is probably unfixable. But that's a different language.

Presumably compilers would allow conversion of spans to native pointer arguments when calling methods declared as "extern 'C'".
Same here from Germany.

Never really thought about it, but I've opened the "Rain radar" more frequently than any weather app including the native one during the last couple of years, too.

Is there never a case where it is cheaper + better to start over? I think sometimes there is. The design of 737 MAX was flawed from the get-go. They made the engines bigger because bigger engines run hotter and burn less fuel. Ordinarily this would require the fuselage to be raised as well, so that the bigger engine can fit under the wing. Instead they changed the position of the engine. Instead of being hung under the wing, as in earlier models, the engines have been moved forward and upward, potentially leading to an aerodynamic stall under certain circumstances. Instead of going back to the drawing board and getting the airframe hardware right, Boeing relied on something called the ‘Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System,’ or MCAS. [1]

It's just poor design. If software fails, then any plane should be designed to have a neutral center of gravity in order to give the crew the greatest amount of time to recover from the loss.

I think you misread my comment. The EU is forcing Apple to support alternative app stores for watchOS and tvOS. These are not general purpose devices and they have comparable or lower sales than game consoles.
> I wouldn't mind using Rust

Rust is not the only thing that “isn’t C++”. Go is not appropriate for every domain either but you can bet your bottom dollar that it has taken market share from C++ - which I think the world is on the overall balance better off for, and I don’t particularly like Go as a language.
Someone is making gobs of money off of OCaml.

> I care more about what I do than which tool I am using.

I don’t agree with the implication that these are independent factors.

And I do get it. The Rust ecosystem founders in many areas and the RIIR meme crew on forums is annoying. That doesn’t forgive the failings of the C++ ecosystem.
>I mean I don't ask my grocery store what their cut is, or target, or any other store

It's 1-3% for your grocery store. Compare that to Apple's 30% and maybe you'll wonder why you didn't ask your grocery store sooner, especially if it's a local grocer with an owner and workers you might even personally interact with because they're all scraping by splitting that 1-3% while listening to you defending Apple's 30% cut.

If Apple is so reasonable here, why not offer to pay 27% more to your grocer and their workers so they can get in on some of this reasonable 30% cut you so adamantly support. Nah, eff them, right? The real human beings bringing you literal sustenance for life for a 2% markup. They'll be totally fine, right? But multi-trillion dollar mega-corporations facing some downward pressure on their 30% cut, the big man's gotta draw the line at that. At least people know where your head's at.
Isn't that kind of the point? The goal was to get out of Apple's clutches when your customers have their devices, so Apple made the thing meant to be independent even more dependent than the original in order to deter adoption.

Perhaps a better insight is looking at parties doing TLS termination globally as a reverse proxy service, for example for DDoS mitigation or acting as a web application firewall. Or, who handles your (encrypted) DNS requests? A somewhat trustworthy local ISP, or a large corporation with multiple pages of terms of service and a vague privacy statement? (I'm unfortunately also aware that there exist ISPs that inject ads on non-encrypted connections, or having done so in the past)

In my opinion, it's less about the amount of cleartext traffic, but also about what parties terminate your so preciously encrypted connections/requests, the percentage of internet traffic they handle, and what they exactly store about those requests.

Encryption on the internet doesn't mean it's suddenly safe.

This. And at a certain point, a prompt might become so specific that you might as well just write the code yourself. After all, a prompt is instructions for a computer, as is code.
It would be kind of interesting if the app had a “you are wrong” button, which allows you to take a picture of the outdoors. Apple could either use this to improve their models, or even just use it as input data directly if they get enough complaints. Plus, it would allow people to vent, or it could check if there is something wrong with the phone, maybe location is being mis-read or something like that.

Epic is in a lawsuit with Apple, the reason the game is not in the store is not because Apple kicked the game out of the store.

There is Minecraft as an example, they are not on Steam, Gog or Epic store but they are for sure on Android store.

So find an example of a real application that is not made by a company that is in lawsuit or has or wants a Store.

You'd think so, but I can't find anyone had actually been using it as such. Since it can read and write tapes, it seems it would be perfectly suited to running a retail store's day to day business. The barcode scanner and some basic database software would have probably sold like hotcakes as a portable POS system.
Personally, I’d write it if it was my job. And then bitch about it to my friends and we can roll our eyes.

Just like any stupid thing I’m asked to do.

Actually I’d be much happier writing that than dealing with ticket YJ-2934 hanging out in Jira.

I don’t need to be a sick, deprived sociopath.

Then again, I still happily buy and use Apple products. They’ll get over their pointless tempter tantrum at some point. I hope.
> The 737 MAX planes that crashed only had one AoA sensor.

IIRC, it had two, but each of the computers only used the sensor on its side; which was OK for the original (pre-MAX) design because of they way these sensors were originally used by it.
I find it to be hit or miss in this aspect. Sometimes I can write a comment about how I want to use an API that I don't know well, and it generates perfect, idiomatic code to do exactly what I want. I quickly wrote a couple of Mastodon bots in golang, leaning heavily on Copilot due to my lack of familiarity with both the language and Mastodon APIs. But yes, sonetimes it just spits out imaginary garbage. Overall it's a win for my productivity - the failures are fast and obvious and just result in my doing things the old way.
I was amazed at the type of motel I stayed in back in 2008 when I went to Canada. Kitchens and balconies or decks. Pretty much unknown in the U.K.

Of course I’d had plenty of experience of self catered accommodation on holiday - sometimes purpose built but mostly normal cottages that were simply rented out.

Airbnb and similar systems just reduced the friction of finding and transacting self catered accommodation, and the increasing trend for city breaks delivered a growing market.

Fascinating article. Some interesting anecdotes:

> The victims even included several survivors of the Canadian Pacific Air Lines Flight 402 crash. (Note: A plane that crashed the day prior, with only 8 out of 72 people on board surviving)

> Several booked passengers cancelled their tickets at the last moment to see a ninja demonstration. These passengers, Albert R. Broccoli, Harry Saltzman, Ken Adam, Lewis Gilbert, and Freddie Young, were in Japan scouting locations for the fifth James Bond film, You Only Live Twice (1967).

Coincidences like this are of course bound to happen with large enough numbers of people traveling, but I still find this interesting.
Even poems are "easy". They're typically very short, there's a million ways to write one, so if you roll the LLM dice enough times you'll probably find something that's plausibly interesting.

What I've yet to see is an LLM that can write anything remotely like a competent short story that doesn't just read like a plot summary. I feel like that's a fair, reasonable test of pseudo-creative output.

No. The user is clearly asking to run software on a device that they own. Why is Apple controlling what software people can run on hardware that they don't own? Should Microsoft not allow people to run software on devices that Microsoft does not own?
Yeah, it doesn't really save time when GPT makes up functions and libraries, making me check the docs anyways...

That behavior is now vanishingly-rare, at least in GPT4.
Totally agree. I am not a professional developer. I find programming to be quite dull and uninteresting.

I am going to work on something after this pot of coffee brews that I simply could not produce without chatGPT4. The ideas will be mine but the most of the code will be from chatGPT.

What is obvious is different skill sets are helped more than others with the addition of these tools.

I would even say it is all there in the language we use. If we are passing out "artificial intelligence" to people, the people who already have quite a bit of intelligence will be helped far less than those lacking in intelligence. Then combine that with the asymmetry of domains this artificial intelligence will help in.

It should be no surprise we see hugely varied opinions on its usefulness.

>This isn't hypothetical, if I want to play Fortnite I will have to get the epic game store when that comes out. Is that really a choice for me? Instead of being able to choose if I want to play Fortnite or not, I instead am choosing if I care enough to download an alliterative store. Why is that ok? Instead Epic is making the choice for me, and it is up to me to decide if I care enough.

NO. Apple made the choice to push Epic out of the App Store by force or by cost of rent. Apple makes all the choices here and you're trying to shift blame. Had Apple a 3% fee, Fortnite would be in Apple's App Store but Apple made the choice to charge 30% and refuse sideloading. That's on Apple not Epic but you can't see past your Apple blinders to get the fundamental issue here that Apple controlled everything and the EU is trying to fix some of that. Apple is both the original sin and the ongoing sin here and everyone else is literally the victim, in higher prices and fewer choices-- BECAUSE OF APPLE, not Epic and not the EU.
I think computing devices need to have some kind of zero trust sandbox available for installation (kinda like a VM) where any API and system calls that an app use is spoofed. iOS have done this for files and photos (recently), but some is still all or nothing, like contacts. At least camera and microphone access show an indicator when they're in use.
Meant Bulgarian/Macedonian, my bad.
Exactly. Not to mention, the HP-UX business model famously flopped in the face of Linux, BSD and Free Software. It's almost the perfect example of how Open software distribution provided a better experience than the alternatives.

I swear y'all really like putting words in my mouth. I am not advocating for the 30%, no where am I saying that. I am saying that as the consumer it is not part of my concern.

Just like if I go and buy frozen fries at the grocery store I don't care how much they spent buying the potatoes. That is all the business deals that largely as a consumer is irrelevant to me.

However since you missed the entire line, it is worth mentioning that Steam also takes 30% cut from developers and I believe Microsoft and PlayStation are the same (likely Nintendo but I don't know).
That would also be my assumption.

However, it seems the firmware was written as 0x800 byte pages:

This thing was pretty solid. The circuitboard is silk screened on both sides with labels for everything, test points, and a trademark Epson thick technical manual. Repair is fairly easy except for the self destructing batteries that take out the FFCs inside. Still, if you can get your hands on one, you can probably repair it. The technical manual even goes into detail on how to install the capacitors, recommending about 1mm below the capacitor for the legs to come up and connect, so in the future if you have to replace them, you just cut the legs off and remove the remnants.
The 737 MAX, like all 737s, always had two AoA sensors. The problem was that Boeing engineers wrote software for the 737 MAX which could make critical flight control inputs based on the data from one sensor only. And didn't really tell pilots about it.

The fix, amongst other mitigations, was to have the MCAS software cross-check inputs from both AoA sensors.
Piece by piece, sure. The context window is too small to just feed it a massive source dump all at once.
