I saw this in a documentary many years ago as some sort of spy aircraft to exfil from a hostile country.

While a cool concept, subsequent ultralight aircraft made this design obsolete.

Just don't get shot at or have a leak. While it could be very compact to transport, it's not very practical or robust.

Also, the service ceiling and service floor(?) could vary based on temperature. For example, if it started at sea level and very cold conditions, it's possible it could not exceed a certain altitude below the need for a pressurized cabin and below its performance coffin corner.
It tries, but it's really more of an operational benefit (i.e. works to your advantage to enable build traceability and avoid compile-time Heisenbugs, when you the developer can hold your workstation's build-env constant) than a build-integrity one (i.e. something a mutually-untrustworthy party could use to audit the integrity of your build pipeline, by taking random sample releases and building them themselves to the same resulting SHA — ala Debian's deterministic builds.)

Bazel doesn't go full Nix — it doesn't capture the entire OS + build toolchain inside its content-fingerprinting to track it for changes between builds. It's more like Homebrew's build env — a temporary sandbox prefix containing a checkout of your project, plus symlinks to resolved versions of any referenced libs.

Because of this, you might build, upgrade an OS package referenced in your build or containing parts of your toolchain, and then build again, Bazel (used on its own) doesn't know that anything's different. But now you have a build that doesn't look quite like it would if you had built everything with the newest version of the package.

I'm not saying you can't get deterministic builds from Bazel; you just have to do things outside of Bazel to guarantee that. Bazel gets you maybe 80% of the way there. Running the builds inside a known fixed builder image (that you then publish) would be one way to get the other 20%.

I have a feeling that Blaze is probably better for this, though, given all the inherent corollary technologies (e.g. objFS) it has within Google that don't exist out here.

It's afaik the only glider type UUV (ed: being looked at by .mil. and production intended. and bigger than the research gliders by far.), afaik. Which is super interesting in itself, for endurance purposes. But perhaps this depth-changing mission profile is also key to its energy harvesting?

Just guessing here, but... it's sinking and rising. Well, perhaps it can take some mass of water onboard & run temperature differential energy harvesting off that. Take on warm surface water, slowly glide down 1000 ft (while going much further forward), then run a thermo-electric generator against the cold deep. Swap water & take 300 gallons of cold water, glide up 1000 ft (and forward), then run a thermoelectric generator against the warmer surface water or the air and/or solar. Repeat ad-infinitum. No idea what kind of power you could pull here but maybe, and it fits with the glider core concept.

And yeah, maybe if you do find an underwater vent you can supercharge? :)

Shout out to The War Zone (TWZ)'s coverage over time. The recent is decent but links their previous which looked about some. https://www.twz.com/news-features/manta-ray-underwater-drone...

TWZ talk about something mentioned elsewhere in the comments, yes, the data-linking challenges are partly tackled by having a "data bubble" that can float to the surface & uplink, who knows, maybe downlink relay too (unspecified). I definitely want to imagine the data bubble as a recursive system, as itself a smaller glider drone, but I'm 100% making that up, is my sci-fi impulse.
I've never really understood why people pay more for the kind of gimped keyboard. They're sleeker, sure, but even if you almost never use the special keys they're missing, it will still be annoying the .1% of the time you need that key. I guess at that point you just grab another keyboard, but if you have to have a spare full sized keyboard anyway, why not just use that?

I use a $30 mechanical keyboard I bought from a six-letter brand on Amazon four years ago and I've been much happier than when I tried one of those "optimized" compressed keyboards.

workforce participation among meaningful segments is nearly 5% below the peak. "retirement" isn't just boomers taking vacations. Lack of participation is due to part time work, and borderline "disability", and a dozen other qualitative factors that are influenced by price pressure (taxes & cost of living)

I live in an older community where people are forced back to work due to skyrocketing property taxes & cost of living increases.

That is a deliberate measure
Personally, I wouldn't mind a fatter phone. It actually might be easier for me to hold. I've never seen the appeal of phones so thin I could shave with them.

This is terrifying.
It's suspicious in that foul play can not be easily ruled out. It is plausible that someone could be deliberately infected with an infectious disease that has high odds of killing someone quickly. Conversely it's not plausible to say make a hurricane strike someone's house.

And again, this is all with the context of another suspicious death - gunshot wound to the head. Again, suspicious because foul play is plausible, not because there are no other reasonable explanations.

If someone died of something for which there was no reasonable explanation besides foul play, such as radiation poisoning, that would be referred to as evidence.
> then realize that you yourself don't have a perfect idea of what exactly this feature should be

I talked about it the last time that Copilot Workspaces reached the front page two days ago and that was, I don't think the value is in the code generation, but rather in the ability to capture our thought process. CW is currently a bottleneck in my opinion and I think the code generation will have to get pretty good before we can see the value in writing everything down vs just coding as we have always done.
You see the "super-simplified" at the beginning of the explanation?

So, no.

Neither does that explanation account for overconsumption, food waste & spoilage, crop mixes, erosion & desertification, water supply shifts, etc...

It's a very basic upper bound. The number of people who could be fed in the best case.
It's a shame they don't describe their methodology in detail. Makes the results hard to interpret. Specifically whether they add powder to the outside of the chamber. That was the whole point of the video, really.

For me, the results were unambiguous. With tablets I got a bunch of "water spots" that weren't solved by doing any of the typical advice like refilling dishwasher salt and rinse aid or cleaning the machine. The water here isn't particularly hard either. The machine also struggled with certain things like eggs. Pretty sure now that the spots were just from excess detergent, because it stopped happening once I tried the Technology Connections way. It also did a much better job with stains that the tablets struggled with.
Yeah, but look at this through the lens of enshittification.

Microsoft will sell "Copilot enterprise" to companies that can afford to negotiate. But every individual out there on a normal subscription gets data mined.

OpenAI is similar - you can't negotiate a "no-logs" deal with them unless you are a player the size of say, Epic (the health industry giant).
Same. I was like "oh, so we have caterpillar drive in real life now?" (assuming screw = propeller)
This feels more like a posers guide to crypto.

It includes many "famous" and some overhyped papers, but not the ones you actually need to read to become a cryptographer. For example, I see nothing about cryptoanalysis in that list.

It feels like CW is taking a step further left -- it takes a description of the problem and the codebase and creates a detailed user story (with bulleted points for success criteria and everything).

That feels like the right way to go -- almost baking an "agile done right" workflow into its engine.

The precedent is set once one is shot down. At that moment, SpaceX loses control over Starlink because it becomes clear its decisions carry military implications for America as a whole. (Nobody will expropriate it. But laws would need to be passed to ensure Bezos going on a bender won’t start WWIII.)
If you were comparing what the other company was charging your company for their developers: Labor and software services have different markets. Because, among other things, tax/insurance regulations and the expectations of contract longevity are not the same. A software shop needs to charge 2-3x salaries to be profitable. I was referring to a theoretical free market for labor.

If you were comparing salaries, either your company was compensating you with extra prestige, job security, etc. or you were underpaid.
No, given the naïveté with which "Makers" approach things, they don't seem to have had real shop-class experience, or at least not a sensible class which actually taught anything meaningful.

I hear you; however I would counter that what most people want to tinker with is not actually the life-and-safety-critical bits of the system. There are really only a few things that you can meaningfully do with an EVSE anyway: 1) Enable/disable charging 2) Change the current limit 3) Monitor the power draw and 4) Monitor the vehicle state.

Commercial systems don't provide this (at least not without use of their proprietary and/or expensive hardware and software). There's nothing that says that you cannot design and build "fire/life-safety critical systems" that have open designs and open interfaces. Attention should be directed to these efforts.

All of the doomsaying in the comments here is ridiculously unproductive.

A lot of pop-celebrity-educator types like Attia or Stephen Seiler say that. Then you look at how the professionals train and you see pyramidal distribution almost universally. Something like 85% below first lactate threshold, 12% in "sweet spot" and 3% in "zone 5".

I've spent a lot of time reading a lot about opinions and then looking at logs of professional athletes [1] (in cycling as I am most interested in that). My conclusion is that training comes down to:

1)do a lot of volume, the more the better

2)do some "hard stuff" - if those are hard intervals, longer "sweet spot" intervals or a a mix of those (like 5 minutes at threshold and then 15 seconds sprint, repeat n times) matters little

3)at pro level do some training specific to what you are going to do a lot in racing

1)is by far the most important and the most reliable predictor of overall fitness

[1] https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/pro-elite-training/14046 - is a nice thread with a lot of rides from whole weeks or months of training posted with power/heart rate data for various World Tour riders

[2]https://www.youtube.com/@sportscientist - Stephen Seiler's youtube channel; he has done work on analyzing how pro athletes train but his conclusions are very simplified and it seems made to sell "polarized" training idea. When you look at the details in the data no one trains like that, the final distribution is almost always pyramidal, not polarized
Agreed.

The most compelling part of the demo showcased in this post is the way that the tool built the bulleted list of success criteria -- that's so often a tedious and overlooked part of writing user stories, but its importance shouldn't be understated -- the fact that it bakes that step into the workflow feels like the most valuable piece of the puzzle here.

Fair enough, it sounds like you are looking for more of a sponsorship/patronage model than a product-based business. I understand, but I think it could be a more challenging model to make sustainable.

I'd also just say that selling a product doesn't have to be impersonal, and in fact you will get much better results if you do it in a more authentic and human way. It's not actually so different to a patronage model when you are small. Part of the reason many people who are early adopters like buying from small startups or solopreneurs is that it's much more relationship-based and the founder will listen to their needs and concerns.
I put a bit further thought into this. The claim is that because the pty has user permissions its possible to hijack it, but that really hasn't been true for years which is why the two PoC do things like use reptyr (involves replacing fd's with ptrace [1], needing either a parent relationship or capabilities that aren't default) or running a command like netcat directly from the pty you want to control [2] (essentially ttyjack [3]).

If you look at the implementation of TIOCSTI [4], 99% sure this is what the new PoC is doing, you can see why you can't do this across ttys.
This goes back ages, even into some 2.6 kernels it seems before I got bored going back kernel versions.

I went and tested all this on a Ubuntu 22.04 box, not possible unless there is a new trick to hijack ttys. I tried the TIOCLINUX across ttys physically at the machine and that didn't work either.

I mean, look at what was done to lighting. There are some original Edison bulbs that still work, yet you'd be lucky to get a year out of a modern incandescent. Same thing happened to LED bulbs.
Yeah, seriously, the nostalgia for blogs is understandable, but I remember feeling they were ruining the internet. People used to have site laid out with categorised pages that were linked together. A bit like a personal Wikipedia. They would occasionally edit pages and keep up to date. Blogs replaced that with a chronological layering short posts. Bloggers feel pressure for little and often. They are not a good way to read about a subject (Wikipedia isn’t a blog!).
I think a admin would better understand the system if there was only one subsystem doing a particular type of security and not two. Two subsystems doing security would lead to more problems down the road.

> even when they aren't generating lift.

Yes. But these do generate lift. This is basically an underwater glider[1]. It can change it's buoyancy which would make it sink/raise straight down/up. It uses then its wings to turn this vertical speed into horizontal propulsion. It basically flies underwater in a sawtooth pattern (when seen in a side view).

This is a very energy efficient way to go the distance. These machines can loiter for months on a single charge typically. They only need to spend energy on the top and bottom points of their vertical swoops to change their buoyancy.

Indeed, and I mentioned the food dichotomy in another comment.

But we also had the thing a few years ago where people were calling on Musk specifically to use his wealth to end world hunger. This resulted in "[…] tech entrepreneur Elon Musk challenged the United Nations last year to show him a $6 billion plan that would end world hunger, he got in return a proposal that would save 42 million people in 43 countries from starvation." - https://www.oxfamamerica.org/explore/stories/how-much-money-...

And in case you blame him for not doing this, it goes on to say "Current estimates suggest that as of this year, we need donor governments to invest around $37 billion every year until 2030 to tackle both extreme and chronic hunger." which is more than his net worth at the time the article was written.

AI, regardless of the impact on healthcare, is going to break that in much the same way that the industrial revolution broke the "land is power" apparent-tautology of feudalism.
My woodworking often uses absurd software; for example, the tool I use Fusion 360 is one of the most extraordinary programs I've ever used. It embeds so much engineering and technology in service of making my life easier. The end result is a static "program" that I send to my CNC which creates art that could be made by an extremely skilled woodworker- but I just sit here waiting for the machine to do the work. I actually enjoy this much more than spending the hours to carve the same work with my own hands, but I also do enjoy the visceral experience of using analog hand tools. I mostly start with STL meshes sold on etsy.

THere is a programmatic aspect, too: Fusion360's modeller has a Python API that lets you programmatically build and evaluate designs. I rarely use this, but it does come in handy. For one project, where I wanted to make a 3D topo-style map of California (basically this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZkQ8pA_TLY) it was a great opportunity to learn geo (using the great GIS package, "OS4Geo", especially QGIS), turn that geo info into a mesh, and then render it in wood.

Stay-at-home-for-COVID made my life a lot easier, as I could start a carving in the morning and let it go all day while sitting nearby and programming.

The fact that it is even legal to ask patients to sign away their right to privacy boggles the mind.
Massed volley requires putting all of your archers in one (or a few) places. The effective maximum range of an archer is something like 500'. If you put your archers at the "wings", they can cover at most 1000' of line; but, even a modest sized army (I'm thinking of a standard Roman Republic field army) will have a mile wide front.

Secondarily, you need to use your (very expensive!) arrows effectively, and it's hard to see over the people in front of you to shoot someone in the distance. That means, practically, archers are just shooting the soldiers in front of them — soldiers in the nearest 100' or so. That'd only cover 3–500' of line. (This practical consideration was noted by my Military History teacher from his direct observation of battles in Africa.)
> i suppose if i absolutely needed to access any finances from my mobile device, it certainly wouldn't be from one of said institution's own mobile apps, but via web browser.

I used to do home banking from my bank's website. Recently, they created a digital-only branch for customers who mostly do home banking and only rarely need to go in person to the bank. They asked their customers if they wanted to switch and offered services at the same or lower cost than before. I made the switch, but found out that unfortunately the new website lacks some functionalities that are only available from the mobile app. I guess they are assuming that most people would just use their phone anyway and didn't bother to reach feature parity between the website and the app, preferring the app.

Sure, this was back of the napkin math and there will be plenty of ways to improve it. The problem is that the more details you add, the more difficult it will be to find actual numbers to put on these things as opposed to using the above actuarial tables if we lump all deaths together.

And for what it is worth, one of these deaths would be in the "suspicious" category and one wouldn't.
