Suppliers have been doing this to Boeing for a long time, and intentionally so as it forces Boeing to give them more money or buy them out. Al Jazeera did an expose on this practice with whistleblowers from Boeing around 10 years ago.

It’s basic math, make quality products and make average returns on investments or skimp on quality and make above average returns then get bought out and make even more money. There is already talk of Beoing being forced to buy Spirit AeroSystem rewarding them for their mistakes.

I would say that in France, Simone Weil really is more known than André Weil! And I suggest anyone to read La Condition Ouvrière (I don't know the title in English), which is not only very instructive and moving, but also specially beautiful in my opinion.
> I feel like the dimensional complexity of the problem space is disproportionately larger at each level than the gap in capability over that evolution

But you acknowledge that things slowed down as we moved into more complex domains? Then you agree with my comment, the person I responded to said that things didn't slow down as we moved towards more complex domains, but there is no way you can say they haven't. AlphaStar and AlphaGo quickly competed and could beat top humans, the domains they worked with after that went way slower and still can't compete with top humans.

> Each level of capability you described was science fiction stuff before they were achieved. They’re not in any way horizontal achievements.

The second statement doesn't follow from the first, moving horizontally by applying the same things to a new domain can still unlock massive capabilities that we didn't have before.

An aircraft is a life critical system. For such systems 'formal verification' (verify 100% quality / correctness) is the metric, not 'lack of failure'.

Here's the prompt. The project is pretty simple, just a Jupyter notebook calling your configured LLM with this prompt.

Your goal is to write Selenium code to answer queries.

Your answer must be a Python markdown only.
You can have access to external websites and libraries.

You can assume the following code has been executed:
```python
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
```

Not sure if it's the same tech or just similar, but all newspapers used to transmit photos from correspondents by telephone, all the way up to the eighties at least. I remember seeing it in practice - I was taking part in a multi-day bicycling competition, and a newspaper sent a two-person team to follow the tour. They developed their photos in their hotel room every evening, and sent them by phone to the newspaper back home, and the newspaper had a new story with photos every day.

Ask HN: Any thoughts on Internet Computer?
Yesterday I was checking out the developer docs on internetcomputer.org and could imagine that the idea of an 'internet computer' is really nice. Also from a developer standpoint it is great to build an app based on the actor model and then just launch it without caring about infrastructure.

Has anyone some experience with ICP? What are your thoughts?
This is really a list of the survivors. Tcl was big in the early 1990's, and Objective-C was around on NeXT and other boxes. Perl was rapidly becoming the glue that holds the web together. Lisp was embedded into a lot of programs, as it is now for extensibility. It's also overstating Fortran's role, which is much like todays niche.

It's very hard to have an objective view of what programming language success and popularity looks like over that long a time, but I think that today there is a much narrower happy path. Either you're a dynamically typed multiparadgram language that's mostly imperative and OO in practice (Ruby, Python, Javascript), a statically typed object imperative language with brackets (C#, Go, Java), or Rust (where a lot of people don't realize how good GCs got instead). Not a ton of Haskell or SML inspired new languages.

By contrast in the 1980-1990s there were serious questions about which of Pascal, C, Objective-C, Smalltalk, C++, was going to win out for the dominant language a system is built in. Stuff like Display PostScript depended in a deep way on exposing programing languages to the engineers who had to work with it that were pretty alien.

Show HN: Happy Pi day with this PWA to cut 100k Pi digits offline
It using JavaScript native BigInt and Chudnovsky Algorithm ([wiki]), the code was taken from one of the examples in the QuickJS project ([quickjs/pi], [pi_bigint.js]).

The syntax for cutting:

pi#6 // take 6 digits of Pi (314_159)
pi#6#3 // take 6 digits of Pi but drop 3 beforehand (159_265)

pi#1#40000 // take one digit at 40,000th

It uses service workers to cache static files, by the time it opens up you already free to be offline, try toggle network switch to verify.

It has download link at bottom of the about page ([accdoo.app/about]) which you could then self host it by dropping into any static hosting services.

btw, the Pi feature was by-product from the original App but I won't expand here, if you'd like to learn more, please checkout its Show HN post (39115559, 39138957 and 39238295) previously.

Yes, this is more complex, that is cool. But we did see the slowing down as otherwise we would have maintained superhuman performance at every step, AlphaGo and Alphastar saw much quicker progress past human skill levels.

There's some outrage towards her for these answers, but we can understand where they come from. But perhaps she learned to avoid tough questions earlier in life.

Because, you see it is absolute absolutely mind boggling to understand how a 16 y.o. Ermira girl from the third-largest city (very small actually) in a country where mafia and government was melted together at that time (and still pretty much is), so... how this girl won a scholarship of unspecified origin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mira_Murati) which took her straight to USA, and later on landed her in a private and very expensive Ivy League university. You see, there are at least dozen people in my extended pool of contacts from that time, from this region, who have been at IoI, or IoM at the time, and won prestigious first places, and won scholarships of some sorts, and none was THAT lucky.

Of course, this may sound like a girls dream come true, but if you have even a limited insight how the Balkans operate, and particularly how Albania operated 20 years ago... And together with the fact that the present Albanian prime minister suddenly is very close to nowadays Mira, so much as to embraced OpenAI for legislation-something (https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/news/albania-to-sp...).

Sorry, perhaps my imagination, but this really raises a brow.
Ah ah.

Light Mode over Dark Mode
Dark mode in IDE and across the entire OS is oblivious nowadays. I get bullied sometimes that how can I be a real programmer if I do not use dark mode. Is it just me or there are other folks who prefer light mode?
Rickover is about as far from an MBA as you can get, truly. Here is another quote from his speech which agrees with your central point.

> One must create the ability in his staff to generate clear, forceful arguments for opposing viewpoints as well as for their own. Open discussions and disagreements must be encouraged, so that all sides of an issue will be fully explored. Further, important issues should be presented in writing. Nothing so sharpens the thought process as writing down one’s arguments. Weaknesses overlooked in oral discussion become painfully obvious on the written page.

You are violently agreeing with me and Rickover's speech. You should read it. You will like it.

Here is another:

> A major flaw in our system of government, and even in industry, is the latitude allowed to do less than is necessary. Too often officials are willing to accept and adapt to situations they know to be wrong. The tendency is to downplay problems instead of actively trying to correct them. Recognizing this, many subordinates give up, contain their views within themselves, and wait for others to take action. When this happens, the manager is deprived of the experience and ideas of subordinates who generally are more knowledgeable than he in their particular areas.
Given your comment, I suspect there's not much correcting you, but for the sake of others who are interested in how treasure works in the UK:

If you find something that might be treasure, you must report it to a coroner, who will first determine whether it really is treasure. Typically treasure is something valuable or historically significant.

If it is treasure, an independent body will then value the treasure, and also make decisions about who the treasure belongs to - typically it will be split between the finder and the landowner. At this point, the treasure will be offered to a museum for the price set by this independent body. If the museum doesn't want it or cannot afford it, then the finder/landowner get to keep the treasure, otherwise the museum buys the object and pays the finder and landowner.

So ultimately, assuming you find something, you'll always get to either keep the item, or have someone buy it off you.

That said, there are stipulations around not being able to just go around and dig up anyone's ground, and you always need to get permission from the landowner before going treasure hunting. In this case, magnet fishing is apparently not allowed on rivers, hence why they figured out an arrangement to donate the sword rather than be paid for it.

Good post overall.

It seems like this system can only work if the build and deployment is all done by one tool in a monorepo. What does migration from existing setups look like?

And what about services that communicate via shared infrastructure:

- A writes to Kafka topic T

- B reads from Kafka topic T

Ok so we could make the hash of A part of the topic name T, but then on every release we make a new topic and lose history?

Looking forward to future posts.

In short, chronically elevated insulin + inflammation + mutagens = cells with degraded ability to breathe => switch to fermentation = cancer. This is known as the Otto Wartburg effect and has been known for a century.

Metabolic therapy is tremendously successful in eradicating cancers even in later stages. I have seen so many direct testimonials and stories I wouldn't even know where to begin.
I plan to introduce generics to enable module/interface/package as type parameter.
But I'm not aiming Chisel like programability.

I tried to use Chisel in a large codebase to judge it can be used as SystemVerilog alternative in my company.
So I found many problems which causes difficulty to apply ASIC development flow.
I think that differences of semantics from SystemVerilog causes a part of these problems.

So I aim that Veryl has the almost same semantics as SystemVerilog.
I think this ease to interoperate with SystemVerilog codebase too.

If he had found it in his own backyard it would have been his unless deemed a "treasure" but in that case the museum acquiring the sword would have had to buy it.

Here my issue is the plain threat to make the finder give away the sword.
Just focus on the fundamentals. Ignore the obscure edge case stuff until it's relevant to what you're doing and chances are it never will be. There are experienced network engineers who don't know most of this stuff off the top of their head. If you can get to the point where you can read a packet capture and understand what's happening you're way ahead of the game.
The current trend for yt videos really seems to be 30 minute videos instead of the old meta of 10 minutes. Frankly that makes it much less accessible for adults.
Here is another speech Admiral Rickover gave to congress:

https://www.worldfuturefund.org/Articles/rickover.html

> A preoccupation with the so-called bottom line of profit and loss statements, coupled with a lust for expansion, is creating an environment in which fewer businessmen honor traditional values; where responsibility is increasingly disassociated from the the exercise of power; where skill in financial manipulation is valued more than actual knowledge and experience in the business; where attention and effort is directed mostly to short-term considerations, regardless of longer-range consequences.

Ask HN: Why do standards change (and when)?
I would say AI is on its way to become a standard way of doing things in many verticals and fields.

It's not there yet, it will take some time. We as a society are kind of still figuring the damned thing out. There are some obvious benefits, there's politics, morals, economics involved here... What exactly will become the "standard" no one really knows. Exciting times.

But, let's talk about something else. I work for an API Observability and Governance company. The product aims to make some of the API stuff easier to handle, for the whole team, from devs to management.

That includes API docs.
However, there's a wall of "standard" we need to climb, and the wall has a huge grafitty written all over saying "Swagger".

So, I just want understand why? And what would need to happen to make a groundbreaking shift in that area?

If you have more examples of "standards" that would benefit from a shift or disturbance (what marketing calls disruption), feel free to add.

As a kid I spend a number of years in Calais, close to the Citadel (we used to call it Fort Vauban as well). Having only a very small garden it kind of became our playground. We used to take our bicycles and improvise some course on the ramparts, some of them being claimed by the grass nowadays. I laugh when I see people taking stairways on a full suspension bicycle, I used to do that on an old steel "randonneuse" with small 650c wheels.

It also hosted a track and field + additionnal grass-hockey field where we would have our sports classes in primary and secondary school.
In today's digital age, personal privacy and data security face increasingly severe challenges. As an effective privacy protection tool, signal interceptor can interfere with wireless signal transmission, prevent potential intrusions of eavesdroppers and spyware, and effectively protect the privacy of personal information. Whether in a public place, office, or private space, using a signal blocker can effectively prevent your communications from being stolen or monitored. Therefore, protecting personal privacy requires not only passwords and encryption, but also the application of advanced security tools such as signal jammers. Let us jointly pay attention to privacy protection and ensure that our personal data and sensitive information are not infringed.

I can't endorse this perspective enough. The amount of energy storage we need is staggering and ever-growing. We've someone convinced ourselves that the 'baseline' is consuming with abandon millennia worth of stored energy and anything even slightly less responsive than that is too inconvenient. Given those parameters, we need any and all energy storage options and efficiency is not a priority. Tesla powerwalls were never going to power the world, but giant caverns full of sand might.
Fascinating quote. Definitely need to read more Jung! And so, instead of asking here for the source I pinged the esteemed GPT: “The passage you provided is indeed from Carl Jung. It is from his work "Psychological Aspects of the Modern Archetype" which is found in Volume 10 of his collected works, titled "Civilization in Transition." This work was published in 1964, after his death, and is a compilation of various essays and lectures by Jung.”
