And, frankly, the simple existence of turbulence?

It’s not like the pilots can see a giant messy region of air up ahead. Sometimes they’ll know the flight overall will be rough and can warn you but generally most times they tell you to fasten your seat belts some turbulence has already happened.

A plane the other day dove suddenly out of nowhere. Less recently a door plug blew off a plane and nobody was sucked out thanks to seatbelts. Before that, a flight departing Hawaii fell a few hundred feet without warning shortly after takeoff. These all happened very publicly and with widespread media coverage.

Frankly, if you fly a few times a year and never wear your belt you’ll probably be fine. But it takes zero effort and doesn’t need to be strapped particularly tight to be effective. There’s essentially zero reason not to wear it and it can save your life.

Sometimes you just have to use a little of your own intelligence.

I'm really curious - how will this affect sites that monetize off of affiliate links and ads? It seems to me that AI summarization and overview will deter, at the minimum reduce, the number of page clicks and traffic to sites that are producing information.

SESTA and FOSTA go far beyond the lack of Section 230 by criminalizing even some scenarios where the operator is not using any editorial discretion, might not even have any access to the content in question, and isn't really "publishing" anything at all. The cases where these laws might apply are not ones where we might try to have argued that the website directly was the speaker: they focus on the idea of enabling a use case; and so, while there is some overlap in their application, it isn't fair to describe the pain of these laws as coming from how they affect Section 230 protections.
I don't think think this is a problem at all, the industry has standardised on STEP for assets, as long as CADmium and Truck have STEP support (which they will) then they have access to all assets. True, there are dynamically configurable assets for SolidWorks, but any community around a cad package will quickly recreate those.

Yes, I'm in exactly the same boat. In practice, in the code bases I worked in, the ones with exceptions tended to have the most useful debug information available in logs.

It's absolutely possible to beat exceptions with manual context, but I've only really seen that in areas of code that were actually causing problems (so people actually put in the work to make the logs useful). When a problem appears in production in an area of code that had not been causing problems in QA is when you're typically left with no useful info in logs.
+1 to Airalo. The country specific ones are super cheap. $7 for 2GB or something like that?

I once did the 30-day Global one for I think $20 for 4GB or so. Worked all over Europe + Middle East. Was very impressed.
I don't think it's entirely an architecture problem, there's a huge training set problem. Almost all the content you would train on assumes outside knowledge/facts, so the llm learns to store these in the model in order to be able to maximize it's completion ability. However, a lot of this assumed knowledge/generalizations are actually unhelpful/harmful for these sorts of cases.

If you wanted to create an llm that significantly improved on this you would probably need to make sure to massively clean up / reorganize your training data so that you always provide sufficient context and the llm is disincentived from baking in "facts". But I'm not sure this is tractable to do currently at the scale of data needed.

FTA:

> In highly controlled cases, the ratio of generated tests to those that pass all of the steps is 1:4, and in real-world scenarios, Meta’s authors report a 1:20 ratio.

> Following the automated process, Meta had a human reviewer accept or reject tests. The authors reported an average acceptance ratio of 1:2, with a 73% acceptance rate in their best reported cases.

1:20 of real-world generated tests reach human review, or 5%. Of those, on average 1:2 are approved, or about 50%. 50% of 5% is 2.5%, or 1 in 40. Where do you see the error?

edit: Okay, I think I see it, specifically in considering engineer time vs the ~2.5% overall hit rate vs. the ~50% rate for tests reaching human review and thus requiring effort. Fair callout, thanks!

Israel is currently dependent on external munitions suppliers, which do not necessarily need to include the US. Israel did leverage US assistance to shoot down Iran's drone attack, but it also leveraged Arab state cooperation. It is probably not the case that Israel is existentially dependent on US military aid. It's worth remembering, though, that Israel wants that aid, and also wants the tacit endorsement of the United States, and is acutely aware that one of our two political parties is more committed to Israel's current leadership than the other; read anything they say with a grain of salt.
This is plainly true. But there is a middle ground between "the least amount of money workers will accept before choosing to starve instead" and "so much money it's no longer economical to pay workers to do."

I have no idea what the case was in this specific industry in India. But in many developing countries, first world companies collaborate with government and pay off private muscle to make it impossible for workers to organize and earn anything in that middle ground.

(I do not mean to imply that you deny this possibility. But there are many on HN who uncritically believe that if workers take a job, it is therefore a fair wage taken voluntarily.)
I would bet that more than 0% of that perception, at least from developers, comes from how _fucking awful_ the Unity editor is. It's one of the worst pieces of software I've ever used. The games you can make with Unity are absolutely very impressive, but the tools Unity provides are just awful, and give a lot of newbie developers the perception that Unity is a hacked together pile of garbage (which...it is, but so are all game engines). Godot, Unreal, and GameMaker are, I would say, the main competitors to Unity in the Indie space, and all three of them have much higher quality editors than Unity's.
GC determinism is one of the things you get. Another one is non cooperative asynchronous termination.
Agreed. Pyside had segfaults and trivial bugs in 6.7. A super weird example was that you simply can't use qlabels for some reason, as shiboken had issues binding them correctly if you import a module (I think Pyside6.QtCore?). They weren't subclassed as QWidgets I think meaning you just couldn't upgrade. The same goes for the segfaults caused by signals. I guess it's an issue with pyside and not QT proper but still, it sure sucks when even a point release breaks stuff (had to revert 6.6.3 to 6.6.2 because again, segfaults).

It's not just my app that had those issues too. Napari also had issues with unexplained segfaults (access violations) with more recent pyside versions. Super frustrating to debug too.
Probably would result in less people flying, more people driving, resulting in more deaths overall.
> But that is rarely true for any privatized infrastructure alternative. There is often direct financial relations through taxation anyways, either tax breaks for the company or outright having the municipality foot the bill(see most stadiums)

How would you consider those to be "privatized infrastructure alternatives" then? To me this sounds like further evidence of citizens having fewer alternatives available because their money is being spent on things they may not (or may!) care about.

> Then there is the potential resource usage itself - e.g how much of the land in that city is now dedicate to toll roads that could be free, or in the internet infra case it's often exclusive rights to the poles all of the lines are ran on.

IDK, public rights-of-way don't seem to be the place where big disagreements are found? Passing a local law to allow common access to utility infrastructure seems qualitatively different than establishing a municipal competitor.

Imo it's about learning base concepts which remain the same and get utilised in bigger systems more forcefully. It's similar to learning algo and ds we might not get to use them in our current work but people in places use them and need them.

Coming back to system design, when I say concepts i mean design patterns. Like two different rate and capacity systems are coupled using buffering systems etc.

Good resource for this is Microsoft system design blog series. Go through them , they have standard problems and scalable solutions that can be adopted.

Another part of system design is distributed systems, how do you attack distributed system design again learn the design patterns that are frequently utilised in distributed systems.

How you can learn that is via excellent blog series and book by unmesh Joshi of thought works.

If reading is not your medium then there are ample video series on YouTube.

Nutshell- learn design patterns in system design.

> That's the debatable bit, isn't it.

If people used the correct term for it, "lossy compression", then it would be clearer that yeah, definitely there's a line where systems like these are violating copyright and the only questions are:

1. where is the line that lossy compressions is violating copyright?

2. where are systems like chatgpt relative to that line?

I don't know that it's unreasonable to answer (1) with that even an extremely lossy compression can violate copyright. I mean, if I take your high-res 100MB photo, downsample it to something much smaller, losing even 99% of it, distributing that could still violate your copyright.

The usual case of good games which fail commercially because of bad marketing? How would I prove to someone that a failed game is "good"? The reason I talked about Flappy Bird is that the game's late success proves that its early failure was due to bad marketing. If you only want to talk about games which never succeeded commercially, then I have no way of proving to you that any of those were "good" games.

That might make the pax more nervous and unlikely to fly more.
A great tip I heard long ago for nervous flyers - whenever their is turbulence, look at the flight staff. If they're going about business as usual and look otherwise relaxed, which is almost always the case, you've got nothing to worry about. Consider them turbulence experts, and if the experts aren't concerned you don't need to be either.
Maybe, but it's ok.

I think maybe my point was misunderstood.

I was trying to say that the employee tried to do what’s good for the company. However that backfired as his personal, and his manager’s, success vector are not aligned with the company’s. Hence although he did something that benefited the company it hurt his and his manager’s performance (exactly because they are not aligned with that of the company’s).

Hope it clears things up.
“A September 2022 study predicts that clear-air turbulence will increase significantly around the globe by the period 2050-2080, in particular along the busiest flight routes, and the strongest type of turbulence will increase the most.”

People that hide behind procedures and metrics and competition driven by that instead of looking outside the window and seeing if it's rainy or sunny.

MBA heads (which might be unfair here because this is more like engineer clockwork head) that use "products launched" as a metric even if you're actually taking down and launching the same product over and over

G killing "unprofitable" products like Google Reader because it makes sense on paper except that a) it's a minor line item b) they are too analytical to measure the impact on good will and brand "soft power" of the power and c) the existence of the product created demand for RSS producers and it was not simply another reader.

> given a user's inputs

Meaning if I record my own inputs, I should be able to recreate the suggestions I see using the published software. This doesn't mean the inputs of other users are exposed to me, but it does imply that "the algorithm" can only use data that is either publicly exposed or is my own inputs.

I'm not saying there isn't... It's a matter of trust, and I tend to be a bit paranoid in general. I don't trust work devices, even if working on highly sensitive or secure applications.

I mean… Onshape, Creo, and Solidworks use the same kernel so it’s not too surprising the UI/UX is similar (I’m speculating for OnShape but given the company history, they probably are). Rhino and the like are geared towards 3D graphics on top of CAD so it’s not surprising either that they’re a Freeform surface modeler first. That being said, I don’t know about the open source part not being a goal. It’s like KiCAD vs Altium. If they manage to have 90% of what Onshape has to offer but open source, I can imagine people using it. I get the angle of cost though, since Solidworks license is about the order of $3-5K, most companies would rather pay it and use something proven.

FWIW, Onshape was created for less than $10M to make a MVP in less than 3 years. I don’t think you need decades of PhDs to make a new CAD program nowadays.
Ha! I was subscribed to this bug for most of those 25 years. Note that Firefox didn't exist at the time, this was filed against Netscape Navigator.

Definitely some auth issues on that page.

I have to log in with Azure credentials just to see the docs? That's a non-starter, even for a guy who usually has an Azure portal open.

There's also no way to know, without providing credentials, if clicking on the buttons and providing credentials on that page is going to deploy something or show me docs. Again, that's a non-starter. I'm not deploying something without knowing what I'm deploying or how to un-deploy it.

I want to be excited, but there's exactly nothing useful I can gather from this page in its current form. Zero ability to sort out whether this will help me or not.
It's not just performance, it's also that the number of clicks to perform common actions is way too high because of feature bloat, extreme levels of customizability, and just plain bad design.
Surely you must be joking?

The government entity that makes all the laws and decides how the money is spent, can’t allocate funds for their core purpose?

Individual lawmakers may not want to, but they can if they wish to.

There are already government departments that can be used and believe it or not, there are actually people who can write public tenders without undue favoritism.

A single lawmaker should obviously not have an unlimited budget, but the legislature as a whole should have access to sufficient funds to make laws fit for purpose.
Free-fall, or really slightly negative G's, will lift you up out of your seat more or less gently. It won't hurt you.

But when the aircraft regains lift, which can happen rapidly in turbulent conditions, you will accelerate downward relative to the cabin. And the plane is design-tested to something like 5G. It can hurt you very badly.

I was very happy with Java-the-language as well, back when I worked with it. Calling this "a huge problem" is of course an exaggeration - but it is very much a regular annoyance and it is one almost inherent to checked exceptions.

I also don't agree that IOException should not have been checked. If there is any purpose for checked exceptions at all, than IOException is the most important one to check. It is the quintessential example of a good use of exceptions. It is also the one for which it most likely that the code can automatically recover - you can retry the operation, use a fallback file/address/DNS server, you can use a default value if some config file is missing, etc. I don't think there is any other clear catgeory of errors that is more likely to be usefully handled than IOException.

For fillets to work well they have to connect three important features of a parametric CAD package:

1. Surface tangency matching - perfectly matching the tangent of the connecting surface on either side of the corner.

2. Edge tangency following - you select an edge, and the fillet should be able to follow along all connected tangent edges.

3. Edge reference tracking - when you modify the model further up the feature tree the kernel needs to keep track of that edge, even if the surfaces that make it drastically change or are split.

All three are hard problems on their own, once you connect them all it becomes a great indicator of the capabilities and stability of a parametric kernel.
