Objection!

It’s true investing in the airline industry has been a good way to lose money for a long time.

But citing early post pandemic years to make that point feels misleading.

It’s like saying someone drives badly and instead of pointing to their speeding tickets, it’s like pointing out their car is in the shop with body damage… from a falling tree branch.

All travel was shut down for a while and when it opened up business travel was nonexistent. It’s still down and expected to never return to prepandemic. It’s amazing they made any profit in 2023.

Yes, airlines are not highly profitable but pandemic years are a terrible example due to being a weird black swan event.
Wow. That fine sounds crazy. Thank you to share. I had no idea. What does IRS do with the fine?
I assume types have to be manually generated?

I wonder if there’s a type system strong enough that it can actually parse files, send remote queries, etc… so that types will be generated on the fly as you type with no additional steps.

I heard TS’s and other languages’ type systems are Turing-complete, but surely they’re all isolated enough that this wouldn’t be possible?

Seems like it would be pretty cool. Also kind of a footgun, since the type system becomes a program of its own.
Read the article, that's not what happened.

The ECHR rules that Switzerland has failed to meet its treaty obligations WRT climate action. IE, there's been an internal failure by Switzerland's government and courts to enforce its own legislation and treaty obligations. So, these women took the next step - an international court (to which Switzerland is a party - if the Swiss don't like it, they should vote to abandon their obligation to the ECHR).
see my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39978948
Right, and they don’t take into account things like “my credit card gives me 2 free checked bags on United”. So in the end it’s still too opaque to really compare prices easily.
Why would that be the airlines problem? The price comparison sites make their money off a different model. Maybe the sites need to fix their logic.

It’s irritating but it’s not the airlines responsibility to support the comparison sites.
Depending on how you count Chinese made, I'd think it would in many cases mean being stuck with no technology. What smartphone is made anywhere else? I'm pretty sure all the computers I've bought in the last two decades have been primarily manufactured in China. I'm sure some of the work could be "friend-shored" or whatever, but the whole thing seems like it would take more effort than we've got in us.

I don't think we much care about the future we create for children at this point, particularly if there's money to be made today.
I'm sure that whatever follows capitalism and communism will be conscious of the idea of a Nash equilibrium and the prisoner's dilemma.

The touch screen is commodity tablet hardware.

€ so european? A Nissan leaf can be €5000 but will probably only do 70 miles to a charge. A Corsa-e knock off Peugeot, 4 years old can be €10,000 just. I think they will get cheaper.
I wouldn't say that EV companies are, but the battery recycling businesses are working pretty hard at it. It won't really get started until there are more EV batteries to recycle. Volumes are still relatively low compared to the number of new packs being built, as the packs tend to last for a long time.

Even post-crash packs often get reused rather than recycled.

When you operate at Cloudflare's scale, you receive a lot of inquiries from law enforcement in all countries. See also Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, AT&T, Verizon, Linode, Hurricane Electric, et cetera ad inifinitum.

If your accusation is more specific than that, you'll want to rethink the word "arm" which is clearly incorrect and makes you sound like a loon.

Switzerland is party to treaties that concern climate change and action. Switzerland is failing to meet these obligations. So, some women sued in international court. That's what the court ruled - that Switzerland is failing to meet its obligations under the law.

Not only are they talking about the free VPN space -- as the other comment mentioned -- but they also make a lot of jokes about ProtonVPN. I'm not the most informed about their community's inside jokes, but I think this is one of them.
Technofeudalism is just the current incarnation of capitalism , its nature hasnt changed. Both capitalists and politicians have sought to increase their power post-war, and as long as some war doesnt stop them they will keep doing so. When politicians blame billionaires it's because they are taking away 'power space' from them , and the same goes when billionaires accuse politicians. Democracy or free market are not really putting a brake to this process of power concentration and erosion of individual freedoms, because they can be gamed, via addictive products and political manipulation/populism. Unfortunately only wars have historically broken this power-concentration game
The core charge on lead acid batteries is really high. It'd be surprising if they weren't getting recycled the vast majority of the time. 99% sounds high, but I wouldn't say it is impossible.
That’s true. Their most profitable year in recent history was 2015, when they had a net margin of 5 percent, or about $10.00 per passenger.

'Fear is the basis of human psychology': how self-doubt haunts the NBA
The core of consciousness, building in internal model of the external world, is necessary if you want to do any kind of complex interaction with the world. Otherwise you wouldn't have any way to keep track of what's happening (e.g. no object permanence).

All the stuff related to the self is however optional, especially when it comes to AI where the self (bunch of GPUs in a datacenter) doesn't even exist in the problem space the AI is thinking about.
Are you suggesting that humans are a type of vegetable?
The short answer is that unit tests are not needed in AutoCodeRover.
The technique proceeds by a sophisticated code search starting from the Github issue. tests are not needed. The code search helps in setting the context for LLM agents - which can help in the patch construction.

If tests are available, they can give additional help in setting code context. But tests are not needed, and most of Github issues are solved without tests.

All experimental numbers appear in the arxiv paper. Please let us know if you have more questions.
Hey there. I can provide some more details. Our data doesn't show as much of a drop in Mississippi compared to Arkansas. However, in cases where traffic is higher than usual during the day (as it was in Mississippi and Louisiana), the drop compared with the previous week is even less noticeable using this method.

I doubt it, Google has been using Ampere for some time.
I looked into it -- the Battery Council International is the one who promotes near perfect recycling rate. Listen - I'm sure its a high rate of recycling which should be celebrated. There's just no way its 99% that's all I'm saying. Maybe 99% of the components that make their way to e-waste get recycled but theres no way even 80% of batteries even make it to e-waste.

Related: On my last flight there were so many carry-on bags they ran out of room. They forced the people boarding last to check their carry-on bags. What some people consider a "carry-on" is debatable. The enforcement of carry-on sizing limits seems spotty at best.
This email is a very good demonstration on why you don't negotiate with terrorists or politburo representatives.
They have gotten where they are exactly because they enjoy abusing the power given to them. Pleading your case before them is to just give them amusement.

They will spit on the work you carefully worked on throughout the years and celebrate that.

Thus, you don't negotiate. Instead, you go to their higher-ups and highlight that the company's resources are being misappropriated for petty squabbles and personal tilting at windmills.

Though sadly nowadays it has gotten way more difficult, because a greater portion of bureaucratic, community and HR positions in the companies are captured, so when the damage is noticed, it may already be too late.
I think visibility is one aspect, but not the whole story. An average home user runs Windows and doesn’t necessarily care if a hypothetical backdoor could exist in their hardware/software stack.

They browse the web, do their banking, and share photos on SM after checking their mail and searching for Tiramisu recipes.

The existential threat to themselves is low, so they don’t dig further into the ramifications. Journalists, whistleblowers, activists, “undesirables”, those are the primary concerned parties.

The civic cybersecurity aspect needs to lay out a clear benefit to free speech and oppression which makes tangible sense to day to day life. I’m not quite sure how to spread this level of awareness, or highlight the importance of such measures in a way that hits home.

As some apolitical context, these two situations are pretty different in terms of representation.

Utah was 77% Mormon in 1990 and somewhere between 42%-60% Mormon today, with a lot of that drop-off coming in just the last few years as people have stopped identifying as being members of the church. (https://religionnews.com/2023/12/28/study-utah-is-no-longer-...)

While it's absolutely true that the Utah state government is predominantly made up of Mormons, that's also representative of the population. Which may still be problematic in many ways, but feels meaningfully different to me than a group that is only a small percent of the population holding significant power.
> However, practice environments for social skills are typically out of reach for most people.

This is exactly what I predicted...AI and technology isolates us from each other by destroying communities, and is slowly replacing real human interaction with computer interaction. The end result is that in the future, people will have fewer and fewer opportunities to interact with others and will have to be drip-fed satiations for their basic needs such as socialization, similar to how hospital patients are given IVs.

Before you say this is outrageous, actually take a look at history and how technology has pushed as farther and farther apart. Nowadays there is very little real interaction beyond the nuclear family. Think of self-checkouts, chat-bots, AI partners and therapists, technology making us more self-reliant (which is a bad thing).

If we keep letting technology take away our communities this way in this two step process (first, take away the community then supply an inferior, superficial substitute), then we will compelely lose our humanity.
Patents only last 20 years in the US. Whenever this would go into effect, the patent would be expired.
I actually wish the airlines did the reverse: allow 2 free checked bags but charge for carryons that don’t fit under your seat.

It is the carryons that make boarding stressful, where everyone worries that if they are not at the front of the line the bins will be full by the time they board. Also, they slow boarding as people stand in the aisles looking for an empty overhead bin or else trying to play Tetris to fit their luggage into an almost full bin.

From reading the article, it seems that may get the same tax benefits as the checked baggage fees.
One item TFA mentions is the increase in the quality of fraudulent messages that LLMs can create. In many cases, I believe the low quality of spam messages is an effective first pass at filtering for individuals that are more susceptible to falling for the scam – it could be that LLMs won't be useful for this sort of scam. On the other hand, an increase in quality could allow the targeting of individuals that would normally easily spot fraud, so perhaps this is a cause for concern?

Most place accepting lead car batteries will pay you for them. They are thus highly recycled for the same reason that copper is; there is a lot of incentive for random folks to seek out unrecycled batteries and recycle them.

I bet the precious metals in catalytic converters are also >99% recycled.

The core charge when you buy a new battery is a deposit returned to whomever returns the battery. Putting a $20 bounty on an item is a great incentive to have someone recycle them.
That's why most coporations are very serious and "professional" -- Windscribe doesn't want to be a faceless beaurocracy. If that's what you're looking for, go with Nord or something. Not every company is for you.
Right, I think this is largely covered in sibling posts. I agree that what you are describing is more secure than only using a password. It is, at a basic level, standard asymmetric encryption, right?

My assertion is more that the more you copy the private secret around, the more you are at risk of exposure. That some companies try to increase usability by copying it in their ecosystem is to make life easier for their users. They are shying from letting you export the secret, but not necessarily out of nefarious motivations? Indeed, there seem to be solid security motivations to not do so. Right?
I agree. In my own experience the vast majority of miscommunications are a matter of style, opinion, or assumption of essential facts in a domain unfamiliar to the listener.

People don't like to feel dumb. If you overexplain or underexplain you will trigger these feelings.

People also don't like confronting opinions that differ. Many followers of a given subject readily buy into the popular opinions within that space and ignore hygiene during discussion.

People also don't like reading or listening to disorganized or long-winded thoughts.
Ok thanks. I haven't run it yet, but this does tell me that it's using OpenAI.

Is it expected to be able to solve arbitrary (simple) bugs, or only the list of bugs in the benchmark set?
They absolutely could turn the whole country into one big nuclear reactor for long term carbon sequestration from the atmosphere.

It's basically the only thing we can do at this point if we want to have a planet left by 2100.

Which years should they cite to avoid misleading others?

OTOH — and for unrelated reasons — the factory (Russia) just had half its customers (Europe) not only boycott the factory itself, but also arrange a global price ceiling for all the other customers who weren't ready to transition away just yet.
I'll need more frequent, but far cheaper maintenance.

The current electric cars are all overengineered luxury cars in order to hit a profit margin and are extremely expensive to repair many normally minor faults. It's fine if you're the original owner under a warranty but a second hand buyer beware.

Theoretically electric cars should be super simple and reliable and have very cheap repairs, but those cars aren't being made by anyone today (maybe the Nissan Leaf?)

Sure, its sorta cool and promising for technology in the future. But as of now, we don't know how badly it might fuck up the other 78% of cases. If it fucks up like 50% of cases so badly that it takes more time for the devs to fix than it would usually, then it's a liability.
This is where chunking comes into play. If you embed the entire document, then yes it’s likely to only be close in vector space to other documents containing lions, tigers, AND bears. But if you set up your chunking such that you’re dividing the document by sentence, paragraph, etc. you will get a finer-grained set of separate embeddings that can point to the document (or even different areas within it) whether you’re looking for lions, tigers, OR bears.
Why does it need to be their problem to matter? It's an annoyance, and it can cause enough friction to stop potential customers.
I feel like there's always a tradeoff. In the past year I've flown both Frontier and United. Frontier makes you pay for your bags (except for a single personal item), while United gives you a free carry-on and checked bag.

It would seem as though Frontier is milking you until you look at the ticket price. I calculated that if I took that United flight with Frontier instead and paid for 1 carry on + 1 checked bag (what United offered for free), the flight would still be cheaper than the United flight.
I had several instances of product people asking stakeholders, users and support people not to talk with developers. Prioritisation had to go exclusively trough them.

There was constant complaining from both sides: from product that "tickets opened to us are horrible, support/customers are ignorant" and from customers that "nothing ever gets done here".

In the end nothing of that was true. Nobody was ignorant and a lot was getting done.
I'm not surprised, we've been extending Musk's delivery dates for years.

That said, I have a 2020 mX with FSD on v11.3. I use FSD almost every time I drive and am very familiar with its abrupt failure modes and capabilities. I had a newer loaner mX last week that had v12 FSD and it was a huge leap forward compared to my daily driver. So while I have zero expectations that the robotaxi is coming this year, their reliance on vision only seems to be working fine as they continue to refine the system. Waymo has a lot more sensors that I feel will someday be unnecessary.
Feels like they've changed their pricing structure for bigquery multiple times in the past couple years. They've never turned the status page yellow or red but there have been a few incidences where from our perspective the service was clearly degraded.

I think it's pretty pointless to speculate what you would have done considering the only reason "Jia Tan" was able to gain the access he did was because the original maintainer was burned out / busy with life / otherwise not able to dedicate the time needed for the project. If he can't maintain it himself he will be even less likely to adequately review his replacement. You can claim to have perfect opsec as much as you want but life has a way of screwing that up that no one is invulnerable against.
I don’t fly a lot any more but I haven’t found it to be confusing at all. Even the price comparison websites make it easy to select a number of bags.
