Actually, z/OS (descendant of System/370) is more microkernel than Linux is. But the problem with microkernels is similar to the problem with microservices - you have to make the executive decisions somewhere, and that unfortunately ends up being the bulk of "business logic" that the OS does.

In theory, I like the concept of functional core, imperative shell - the imperative shell provides various functions as a kind of APIs, and the functional core handles all the business logic that involves the connections between the APIs. (It's also sometimes called hexagonal architecture.)

However, it is questionable whether it actually reduces complexity; I daresay it doesn't. Every interaction of different shell APIs (or even every interaction that serves a certain purpose) needs a controller in the core that makes decisions and mediates this interaction.

So when you split it up, you end up with more bureaucracy (something needs to call these APIs in between all the services) which brings additional overhead, but it's not clear whether the system as a whole has actually become easier to understand. There might also be some benefit in terms of testability, but it's also unclear if it is all that helpful because most of the bugs will then move to the functional core making wrong decisions.
The depth of talent here is unbelievable. Thanks Tom!
Second this; I love mine. And the base station has a UDP port you can listen to for all the real-time data, making integration with Home Assistant and the like pretty straight forward and 100% local.

You definitely have a point, but the reality is that LLMs are about as good as an "average" UI developers in some cases -- lots of people who work on UI every day think very little about accessibility and don't understand if their code actually runs in a non-chromium browser.

At what point does HVDC start to make sense? IGBTs have only gotten better and cheaper since I first read about HVDC, so it seems like the fixed conversion costs ought to have come way down.

> Stanford officials said Friday that they decided to back the tests after a faculty committee studied the numbers and found that the scores were “an important predictor of academic performance at Stanford.”

It sounds like they could have gone the other way if the investigation had shown that the tests didn't predict academic performance.
>I think technology will always be a part of coexisiting with people and not in a capacity to really cover and take us all over.

Correct in a sense, but horribly blind into many aspects of human nature.

Yes. Technology in theory will not do anything a human being doesn't use it to do.

The problem is the whole "human part. Technology empowers equally, so the danger of technology is really as danegerous as what the least scrupulous human being will use it to do. If you're going to stick around in this sector; learn well: people suck. Choose the ones you decide to empower carefully. And never forget that once you share it, you can never take it back.
That's one hell of a way to go out, especially at 91. On brand for an astronaut.
Specifically, kill()ing pid 0 kills every process in the process group of the calling process. Pid 0 is more like a NULL pointer. You can put something in memory there, but a lot of systems will treat it as an invalid identifier for their own purposes.

I had some ruby code that called kill(str.to_i) and killed every process when the string wasn't an integer, which is when I painfully found out that to_i returns 0 on invalid strings and kill(0) kills (potentially) a lot of processes.
No, it's an economic limitation. You can of course turn the output of a nuclear plant up and down, reasonably quickly. The problem is that nuclear power is mostly capex. If you throttle your plant to 30% output, it just means that you produce power at three times the price.
Yes it is! It's great!

> The shells in my paper consist of a thin inner layer of positive mass and a thin outer layer of negative mass; the total mass of both layers—which is all one could measure, mass-wise—is exactly zero, but when a star lies on this shell it experiences a large gravitational force pulling it towards the center of the shell

Is "negative mass" a real thing in Physics or just some wild theory?

For private flying, the medical is a lot less stringent (as I understand it.... I'm not a pilot).
The patent says that the gun receives "invisible light", rather than transmitting it. If the patent is referring to the same type of system as this Duck Hunt device (it's for a similar clay-shooting game), the purpose of the capacitor is to transmit a signal to the game device to tell it a shot has been fired. The gun wouldn't have a flashbulb but a photodiode. When the trigger is squeezed, if the photodiode is receiving the right frequency of flashing light, the gun will transmit the signal as a hit. This is similar to how I understand the NES Zapper to work.

Caveat: I don't know enough about electronics to look at the photos in the attached article to confirm what I'm saying, but I am fairly confident that I'm reading the patent correctly. (It refers to the gun as "light-receiving" many times.)

ETA: If this is how the non-functioning Duck Hunt works, it's possible that it isn't the gun that's broken but the infrared emitter in the projector.

ETA again: Found a YouTube video where someone has this device and points it at the camera and shoots. There's a visible light flash. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vsh-WTZFX58 So it's not the same as the patent. The projector itself has a sensor on it, as mentioned in the article, and the light emitted by the gun flashes in a predetermined pattern.

Well, someone (a human being) still maintains it, and ultimately someone likely will find the code unmaintainable even if LLMs help. If you use ChatGPT enough you would know it has its standards as well, actually pretty high. At one point the code likely still needs to be refactored, by human or not.
For me the answer is much simpler.

I find coding backends to be very boring. It's just not something I want to do during my spare time.

Even if we stretch out and look at how fast the Earth orbits the sun, it still doesn't explain the 4 mile figure.

Earth's orbital speed: 66,200 mph

66,200 mph / 3600 s/h = 18.38 mps

18.38 * (1/250) = 0.07 miles
We're building a life critical medical device, and I haven't seen this mentioned, so I thought it was worth contributing:

The use of these alarms is not something imposed by the manufacturers, but by the standards, eg 60601, 62304 etc. For devices involved in diagnostic, or more importantly interventional care, you are required to have alarms within certain auditory and visual thresholds, and a lot of them have mandated silence times (in a life critical system, you can only silence a true alarm for 120 seconds at a time).

Then again, "ALARM" as dictated by the standards means something truly emergent, though the wording can feel a bit fuzzy at times. Trust me, alarm fatigue is a known phenomenon to these manufacturers, and theres been a recent trend (with, eg, the Dexcom G7) of giving users more control over delaying alarms, silencing them until you can respond etc etc, which has its benefits, especially as quality of life is concerned.

You'll have a hard time convincing the FDA of this for critical devices like those found in hospitals though.
I'd wager most books are content someone wants. A lot are even content a lot of people want. This is not good enough. Reaching the audience is the problem.

Also, writing a book can take years. Writing for what people want today is how you fail, as people will have moved on in the five years it took to write, edit, sell and produce the work. If you can reliably predict market desires in 5 years time, you have a lot more than a best selling novel on your hands.
Nope. Has nothing to do with Big Tech, and everything to do with investors acting as the beneficiaries of cut payroll costs. And mind, that's only current investors grandfathered in from the pre-AI era. Those working now are going to be handicapped in buying into the post-AI era as employment numbers plummet. No wages->no investment opportunity.

Unless, of course, what we're seeing now pops fantastically, leading to another AI winter, and we actually start reining in or mitigating the social damage being caused by Big Tech.

Whilst reality bite and all said is the truth, there are odds. How about on a lady with kids on social welfare and had no name tried to publish a book about young witch growing up in a boarding school. And tbh I do not recommend her book for young kids, as it is very dark.

Anyway, as said in another epic, there is always hope.
... things can have multiple reasons?

Space, cost, reliability, of course it's complex to integrate new generators that require communications to work together properly alongside planning the real wire infrastructure.

I believe it can be done, sure, but it's still complex and utility companies are not a fan of complexity.
What exactly do you mean by "autofocus"?
Looks like a compressor stall/engine surge, where the airflow suddenly reverses and causes a shockwave. It can damage the engine pretty severely especially if it happens multiple times or for a longer duration. Often reducing thrust helps (though this is of course a compromising thing to do during takeoff)

It's not supposed to happen under normal circumstances and clearly it happened several times in a row here. Maybe some blade damage? Anyway I'm sure the investigation will turn up the cause.

I'm glad those people are ok. Though it isn't normally immediately dangerous on modern engines (e.g. it might lead to loss of thrust but not resulting in an explosion). That did happen on older engines though. I'm sure it must be scary, seeing flames and hearing bangs.
Why bring that up? We all know it's BS, and the people who do it are expletive deleted morons. We're interested in what the smart people do .. and even better smart with a touch of class.

The older I get the less and less patience I have with people pushing the "it's all politics", "everybody lies and manages up/down and if you don't you're a fool", or it's all about image.

While there's smallish elements of truth to each in individual cases, this just cannot be the knee jerk reaction.

> Flying is a specialized skill, but once you learn it it’s not especially difficult and requires less sustained focus, reflexes and reaction time than driving.

Respectfully disagree (as a 40-something year old aerobatic pilot) with the less sustained focus part, not the specialized skill part.
You can't safely fly or sail unless you know and can predict the weather at your destination.
Eh… a third class medical still is highly sensitive to your medical history. See /r/flying for various tribulations even young people have gone through for relatively benign things.

Own a national weather service?

I want your API to not return 500 errors for hours at a time, multiple times a day...

Today it was down from 9AM to 2PM, and then from 9:30PM to 11PM.

Yesterday was even worse.

It isn't rate throttling because I only try to retrieve current conditions every 30 minutes.

Also, the load of the API might be a lot lower if it were possible to retrieve just the current measurements, but the response you get back for observations is insanely bloated with 12 hours back of each measurement, plus a bunch of station information that is heavily duplicative of information provided about the station.

Nothing about the station should be returned when you ask for the station's measurements should be returned except a link to API call for the station's information.

You don’t need an app to not use the extra pixels Apple added on either side of the notch.

If you want the same appearance (and resolution) as a non-notch MacBook Pro, open System Settings, go to the Displays section, click Advanced... and toggle on “Show resolutions as list”, save that change, and then enable “Show all resolutions”.

Now select the resolution option just below your current selection. (The y-dimension will be slightly less, which equals the space added by the pixels around the notch.)

Barring a pre-crash sequence mechanical failure, this was pilot error. There is a safe speed called Va, or maneuvering speed. While most aircraft will have higher maximum allowed speeds, maneuvering speed is the most important figure for aerobatics because it's the maximum speed at which the airplane's flight controls can be used at full deflection (i.e. maximum effort) without exceeding the structural capabilities of the aircraft.

What most likely happened was was a loss of situational awareness in the pre-loop dive, resulting in a steeper and faster dive than intended.

For people of a certain age, 3dfx is iconic. As a teenager, you read a bunch of reviews about how great it was.

If buyers want features, this implies a demand in the market.

If capitalism is {buyer; market; seller} then demand in the market should draw product from sellers.

The market is regulated, so wildly unsafe demands should go unmet.

But if the market is over-regulated, then an electoral feedback loop ought to trim excessive regulation so that the market can meet demand.

Which brings us to the question: why aren't people running for office on a platform of taking pliers and a blowtorch to the Orwellian regulatory thicket?
