From what I hear, most of us don't follow either the letter or the spirit. A former project manager of mine had previously worked as a cop, and I asked him how he determined who to arrest — if I remember right (it was a while ago now), the answer was approximately "if they look sus, arrest first and figure out the exact offence later". What's the quote? Something along the lines of "as a kid I thought adults had it all figured out, then I became an adult and realised none of us know anything and we're all bluffing all the time"?

The reason we're not all in jail all the time is that we don't fully enforce almost any law, IMO because we all like to think of ourselves and most of our peers as the "goodies" even as we demand ever stronger crackdowns on ever broader ranges of behaviour. And also we don't like living in police states run by people who tell us we're actually all bastards.

Fully enforce road laws? The only people who won't lose their licences, will be people who aren't driving.

Littering? The fines would probably raise enough money to replace all taxation and then some.

Drug laws? In the UK, heroin users alone are a group nearly three times the size of the prison population, all class-A drugs combined are about 11x the UK prison population, all drugs of all categories are about 31x the prison population — and that's "this year" not "lifetime use" which matters given the length of the prison sentences for different categories: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeand...

I am not sure this is an accurate assessment. Lego has a reputation because it built that reputation over decades of solid and reliable delivery. Pseudo-Lego brands built a reputation of competing on price while trading off quality and reliability.

The real question is whether the price delta between Lego and pseudo-Lego can justify the quality delta. That's surely subjective up to a point.

Is it at all possible to convince gnome-styled file pickers to put the "Open" and "Cancel" buttons on the bottom of the window? It's really jarring when working alongside other applications that either implement their own native file pickers or use a different widget toolkit.

Unless you are gay, trans, not the right kind of christian, have mental issues, are progressive in any way, are willing at all to contradict their absurd views of reality, want cheaper electricity through green energy, want any form of public transit, their family member has beef with you, you dared to question the authority of the local PD, you dare to question that drag queens are a threat, you think maybe gun control could have prevented the local school shooting or that the PD in that town could have done better and should be fired.

The belief that actually rural people are really nice and altruistic is just laughable. Having grown up with them, they will only help you if you are the "right kind" of person, IE, if you are useful or beneficial to them. My white, catholic, french mom in a city of 9000 was completely ostracized, despite knowing every single family, and being a very generous and nice person, because she didn't have the right last name.

Insular rural communities are all about local tyrannies, and local cliques, and if for ANY reason, no matter how tenuous or bullshit or even made up, you WILL be excluded if the local popular club doesn't like you. It's basically high school, which makes sense when you remember most rural communities are entirely made up of people who didn't do anything past high school and basically have not grown beyond that as people.

>It's not instinctively repugnant to help, or to give, it's instinctively repugnant to give outside their community.

These are the same concepts. Being unwilling to help outside your community IS being unwilling to help.

Very cool! I don't have this pain point currently but I can absolutely see the utility. I like the in built demo tool (although it sadly means you have no need for DemoTime lol).

The demo.camelqa needs some styling. I would invest a few minutes here. Maybe a loading spinner too if you're expecting 15second latency.

Technically is this doing clever things with markup, or literally just feeding the image into a multimodal LLM and getting function calls in response?
So I'm a little skeptical on that front because military aircraft are still not that often broadcasting ADSB even during routine flights, at least in my (also close to the border) region. In theory the Air Force was supposed to have completed ADSB installation on their fleet last year but they blew the deadline pretty bad on even installing transponders, and of course they still reserve the right to disable them during military operations.

Maybe with the data we can figure out what portion of military flights are included?

For the helicopter training flights that I notice most often, it's still rare to see one that broadcasts ADSB, probably <10%. C-130s usually don't either here but it's more often, maybe more like 25%. Perhaps for other categories of aircraft they've installed more transponders. But in the city where I live, even passive mode-C MLAT is probably around 50% success on tracking military flights for ADSB Exchange. FlightAware might have better coverage for mode-C. mode-C can't contribute to this GPS reliability data anyway but it illustrates that even C-130 pattern practice is sometimes "stealth" from a radio perspective due to the low installation rates for ADSB and difficulty of good mode-C coverage.

The paper linked elsewhere (https://web.stanford.edu/group/scpnt/gpslab/pubs/papers/Liu_...) mentioned issues with military training flights resulting in spurious low-NIC cases but unfortunately doesn't quantify it. With the way the AF rollout has gone it probably depends on the specific installation, command, and aircraft type.

In the border region specifically we would tend to expect the majority of non-military flights to be civilian CBP aircraft that aren't performing unusual maneuvers. CBP has a somewhat complicated and limited authority to disable ADS-B that I don't know the contours of, I'm not sure how often they do so on their larger (non-sUAS) aircraft. Involvement of the Air National Guard in the Texas area might complicate the analysis though.
Of course it is: it's evidence the average person will never hit this bug. Statistics, and all that.

Having worked on huge deployments of Linux servers before, I can tell you that modelling race condition bugs as having a uniform random chance of happening per unit time is shockingly predictive. But it's not proof, obviously.

>That seems like a crazy thing to try to do

It seems like a reasonable thing to want to do. Would you never update an installed application or the kernel to get new features or fixes? I don't really think there's much fundamental difference. If what you mean is "it seems likely to fail catastrophically", well that seems like an indication that either the converter or the target filesystem isn't in a good state.

IMO this is the major problem in American politics (maybe world too)- That we have the government picking and choosing winners before the game is even played.

IMO we should be rewarding the winners in a after a fair game with rules tailored to what we want to incentivize. Eg: A per chip, per TFLOP or other intelligent metric reward AFTER the item is produced and sold on the free market. IMO The government should not be financing or changing the capital structure of any corporation, instead investors should take the risk and use financial structures available to chase the rewards.

That kind of disproves the "no data" hypothesis though, no?

One explanation could be they have a simplistic algorithm like "if uncertainty > (something indicating more than 5 minutes of GNSS-to-INS fallback) on more than 50% of all flights of a day", and there's only one flight per day in that region.

Man I never seen someone do agreegument better. We basically are in accord on most matters of substance here

I find nitpicking silly, but it is traditional in the agreegument format. I will only nitpick two things:

1. While I did put scarequotes on "innovation" for a reason (it is SV's favorite euphemism of course), it is worth noting that things like funneling money into a ridesharing app to create an entire fiefdom of "gig workers" to misclassify and then try to codify anti-labor policies into law by pretending to go to bat for them, or selling massive troves of data to a british analytics firm in order to steer elections toward "business-friendly" fascist demagogues, or creating a "non-profit" to make "safe and open" AI then partnering up with one of the most consumer-hostile and closed-source companies to ever walk the earth once a good opportunity to make bank popped up are certainly uh... creative

2. While a lot of progress in AI recently can definitely be summarized at a high level as throwing massive datasets and parallel processors at neural networks, if you zoom in there are definitely different algorithms coming through the noise, new kinds of network layers, training protocols, and objectives that we didn't have when ANNs first showed up. Like most actual real world science, it was a world of incremental progress that occasionally spawned a really useful application. I still think some advances in machine learning that have come out of all this nonsense have been meaningful and potentially useful, but it's difficult to separate signal from noise when the industry brain-drains academia to do research behind closed doors on whatever sci-fi shows up in the molochian wet dreams of the capitalist investor class
somehow it is hard to believe that this statement is made .. confidentiality and "gag orders" have ruled the business world for more than twenty years in the USA.

From the FAQ, it sounds like they simply presume that anywhere with multiple low NIC values is indicative of interference.

My opinion is largely in agreement with many in the policy community.

You are mistaking the opinions of a government regulatory body with that of expertise.

The literature on risk is very clear. Occupational level exposure is the critical hazard. Transient exposure is meaningless.

And of course you are missing my central argument. People are at more risk today because existing policy makes asbestos a taboo. Everyone is afraid of it and no one wants to talk about it on a construction site because it screws everything up. And so lots of construction workers, mostly immigrant labor etc pay the price so that some soccer mom can feel certain her kids didn’t get exposed to 0.1fcc hours of asbestos.
