Last summer, I took on one such an ambitious project: To build a dock in my backyard (which has a big river) for my boat. Where I live, dockbuilders are not interested in coming out, and I wanted a permanent structure.

About ~$1200 in materials and many bruised and scraped weekends later... I have something workable. For sure, if I had to do it again, I would do a better job, but it was very satisfying to have not just accomplished it, and have it look kind of OK and rustic, but also it survived the winter ice floes without issue. (Reason: The structure weighs ~7 tons)
I used a small FPGA when I needed to modulate a signal. Initially some people tried to use a microcontroller for the same purpose, but there was too much variance in the timing. In fact, initially even the built in silicon oscillator for the FPGA board was too inaccurate, needed to use a plug in crystal to improve the bit error rate.

Used this board:

You are really going to try to draw a parallel between this event from last year and the Oklahoma incident? Everything about the Southwest airlines flight suggests pilot error. The plane did not dive unexpectedly at a high rate, it executed a dead perfect final approach, the right descent rate, the right speeds ... 9 miles before the runway it was lined up with.

What is in your Care Packages?

How much is that based on feedback from the recipients, and how much is it based on expert opinions? (Social workers, homeless agencies, whatever.)

Is your local homeless population small enough, or stable and well-connected enough, that you've acquired a minor local reputation as "Care Package guy"?
Your post is a good example of how backwards iteration is so error prone and fragile.

Your reverse iteration would result in an out of bounds access as well as unsigned integer overflow which results in an infinite loop.

> But the only way to properly do that is a constitutional amendment.

A constitutional amendment make it permanent, but Congress never actually lost control. They always had the power - and still do - amend, restrain, clarify their own laws.

> Didn't it just create a a king/dictator? Wouldn't that be unconstitutional?

In a scenario with a packed Supreme Court of "yes men" there are no bounds to what could happen, so why bother with the thought experiment? In your example, the constitution is already worthless.
> Generally this meant that the municipality needed to provide homeless shelters.

The previous ruling was always kind of a kabuki theater. Homeless people often don't want to live in shelters - the exposure to crime and drugs and rules and lack of space is often worse than just living outside. So the previous ruling was still a blank check to harass homeless people so long as you dumped a bunch of money into a terrible homeless program.

Most of the tech community is as clueless about ML as the general public.
With a 2/3 majority, Congress has the power to do just about any damned thing they want. They have the power to remove any federal judge they want from the bench, they have the power to remove any SCOTUS judge they want from the bench, they even have the power to determine how many justices will serve on SCOTUS. They just need a 2/3 majority vote (Majority in the House, 2/3 in the Senate).

The Founders new that the buck had to stop somewhere and if mistakes were made, someone had to be able to correct them. That entity is Congress. To keep "hanky panky" out of it, they demanded a 2/3 majority - wisely realizing if you can get 2/3 of Congress to agree on anything, then it's probably something extremely important!

Actually without C Deference, agency experts can no longer apply that law to specific factual scenarios.
Sure. But for a long time conservatives decried judicial activism. This court has made it obvious that for many what they really didn’t like was activism that went against their politics.
>If Congress wants to delegate authority for micro-managing things to agencies, why shouldn't they be allowed to do so?

Because the Constitution defined the Legislative branch as the entry point for new laws. Not the Executive. Period. The Legislative branch, with the Power of the Purse, is more than capable of establishing the requisite in-house research apparata to allow the Branch to become quickly read up and fluent on anything. That was the purpose of the Library of Congress, and the Office of Technology Assessment. OTA, in particular, was dismantled by Congress because "why should we have this when all the lobbyists are so well informed anyway". I.e. an act of a group of politicians that should damn well know better than to blindly believe everything they are told/ignore everything they are specifically not told by special interests without corroborating reality first through the exercise of legislative subpoenas.

Congress put it's eyes out in a desperate bid to make it that much easier to be held unaccountable for doing their jobs, necessitating delegation to the Executive, which was far easier to manage dealing with.

>The Executive agencies and departments are created by Congress. US regulatory agencies have authority because it was given to them by The People (through their elected representatives).

Yep. Those Agencies, however, should not be making corpuses of law (Administrative law; but I'll be charitable for argument sake, and grant that Administrative law is a necessary evil).

Notwithstanding the above, the Judiciary damn well shouldn't be ignoring grievance redressing relevant to any Administrative law. The Executive cannot be allowed to be all rolled up in one lawmaker, enforcer, and interpreter of last resort. It completely undermines the principle of seperation of powers.

Does that make life harder? Hell yes. Governing ain't supposed to be easy. It's high demand, high overhead, and wide blast radius at the Federal level. The fact the Legislature has gotten so bad at legislating should be a point of shame on us all.
I agree that we need a new term for licenses that are between traditional "source available" where the source code is published, but the license restricts any real usage, and fully open source.

However, I don't like the name "fair source". It implies that open source is somehow unfair, which I don't think is fair.

I see where the name comes from, since it is trying to be more "fair" to the creating company by preventing another company from building a product without putting any work or money into it. But compressing that nuance into the word "fair" is IMO potentially confusing.
>They're still much safer than driving.

They won't stay that way if this attitude becomes more prevalent.
Maven is one of my favorite package managers. It's not as fancy as npm, cargo, go, etc., but it works consistently well and I never have to fight it.

> Or is the idea that its impossible to anticipate all possible edge cases and congress wants to let the agency iron out future issue?

This Plus, it's often a case of Congress kicking the can down the road: Enough votes in Congress might agree that something needs to be done, but they can't come up with agreement on the details — often because of conflicting special-interest (read: donor) lobbying about those details. So the legislators say, in effect, "OK, let's get 'a bill' passed [a minimum viable product, if you will] and let the agencies deal with it. Then later, if a major problem comes up with a particular agency ruling, we can revisit the issue then."

maybe I'm basic but I'd rather just use git to do this and not conform to a specific tooling / format
Yeah… let’s just strap you to a plunging plane, then invalidate your experience as “overflowing with hyperbole”.
Don't let yourself get caught up in media focus on events that are usually not reported beyond the aviation enthusiast community. Boeing headlines get clicks. The 737 MAX flies thousands of time every day. A couple incidents in 7 months which don't appear to be specific to the model are not really compelling evidence of anything.
Electrification really hasn't hit home in the US yet.

EVs due to the simplicity of the drivetrain (which is already engineered for various electric motor sizes since we've been using them for 100+ years in 1000s of applications) can be adapted quickly and cost effectively to many different vehicle sizes and platforms:

- electric hand scooter - maybe this has happened already, but the mini micro kids scooter design seems ideal to human application. more stable, turns well, better balanced. It folds up and is totally hand-portable when you get to your destination, so no locking up. Modern battery performance should be able to do dozens of miles at 10-15mph if necessary.

These can be almost effortlessly carried into a subway car.

- electric bike - as anyone who has been to the netherlands, this encompasses a wide range, from a simple bike to various cargo carrying versions and basic trailers. The downside of the electric bike is securing it at the destination, but theoretically secured parking should be a lot more compact for a bike.

- electric vespa/moped - the big difference here is speed and danger. In a city, I argue this is right at the line of being too big and dangerous. It can't be adjacent to pedestrians or bicycles, needs to be in dedicated car lanes, but its kind of too small. These can go faster, carry more, and are more secure since they are harder to make off with.

- electric motorcycles/trikes - like mopeds but bigger/faster still

- electric K-cars/golf carts - this is where there is a big empty spot in US vehicles. You can see them starting to develop with side-by-sides, but an urban electric golf cart or similarly sized vehicle is tremendously useful and much more compact and cheap to make in theory. I would argue that outside of specifically permitted deliveries, nobody should have a vehicle larger than this in Manhattan.

IMO these are the big three that cities need to start planning to adapt to, and big vehicles are strictly for special situations. A "golf cart on steroids" can really pull quite a lot given EV motors ability to produce torque.

I lived in downtown Minneapolis for quite a while, it was amazing how much a bicycle shrunk the city once the snow melted. Anything under 4 miles of distance wasn't worth taking a car, because the parking delay and walk-to-destination removed any time advantage.

e-bikes and e-hand scooters are like that, but expand the accessibility to a far bigger age range and fitness level.

An e-handscooter that is portable takes a subway system and expands the radius/distance accessible from the base stations by a factor of 3 to 10. With a e-scooter you carry off the subway, you can easily go 1-2 miles from the station, weather permitting.

Finally, e-scooters are QUIET and CLEAN. Which when people get used to them will really highlight how much ICEs stink and are loud, and will turn them into pariahs socially. When that happens tipping point wise who knows.
I tried entering "Marty Feldman" as a search query. Unfortunately, the responses don't show movie titles, but I couldn't spot him in the few that I tried. "The Sting" was one movie that I could identify.

Needs more work.
7000 fpm is not all that unusual during a descent. What’s unusual here is the proximity to the ground. Nothing in this story indicates there is necessarily anything wrong with the aircraft, and I think more likely this is pilot error.

I’m as much of a 737 MAX critic as anyone, but nothing indicates the aircraft is the cause as of now.
The physics doesn't work out quite that way.

Humans perceive acceleration. You will experience the same acceleration at terminal velocity that you do on the ground: none.

The main thing you would perceive at terminal velocity is wind. There will not be wind in the cabin, even in these flight conditions.
> The default should be for them to not pass laws, if they don’t have time to understand the issues.

That’s insanity. Why wait when you can have a regulatory body dedicated to understanding and regulating based on those understanding. If they fuck up , the delegating power has the ability to rein it in.
That’ll happen about the same time the Supreme Court stops being used as a political party battleground. So… never.
I disagree with this ruling, but something that really, really pissed me off is this paragraph:

"The town had no homeless shelter, aside from one run by a religious organization that required, among other rules, attendance at Christian services."

Am I the only one that thinks it's wrong to require someone to attend a church to receive services from that church? I go to church and we will try to help anyone we can without any preconditions. Mandatory attendance just seems… disrespectful of that persons own religious beliefs, and unchristian.
> I find it strange how so many people are upset that the Supreme Court is forcing Congress to do its job, which is pass laws.

>Hi, you make all excellent points. However they do sound more like comments from 2002, not 2024. With the complete takeover of the web, digital media, and digital photography, just where do you imagine all this cmyk stuff is still happening? Save for the last vestiges of print, it isn't. Most work today goes from rgb, to rgb, and then to rgb. Maybe throw in sRGB as well. So cmyk, nice to have, but not needed for most pro work today. FWIW, 40 years pro work at top NYC ad agencies and pub houses.

Hi LanceNY from the top NYC ad agency wink wink. I see why you've made a fresh account just to reply to this, because it's quite clear you don't have the experience that you claim, nor even an understanding of basic digital-only principles such as the difference between a colour mode and a colour space.

It also seems you're suggesting that print and manufacturing don't occur in 2024. Classic.

I dare say your experience in this industry is no longer than the time it took you to write that comment.

On the other hand, the homeless being in the park generally leads to trash - needles, excrement, etc. The homeless occupying public lands and making them unfit for other people deprives those other people of their right to use the park.

I should be free to walk downtown without stepping in human shit. I should not have to worry about needles and detritus in the public park.

Agree society needs a better solution. Perhaps we can tax the ultra wealthy at an ungodly rate and simply build housing.
City of Grants Pass, Oregon v. Johnson [pdf]
SCOTUSblog not updated as of this writing: https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/city-of-grants-p...
Most of the current legitimacy damage stems from a perception that the Court has members that are arbitrating law over bribery while simultaneously engaging in behavior that looks suspiciously coercive. I think that's a major issue, but it's a bit orthogonal to the question of whether they use sound judgment to arrive at rulings like, say, US v. Rahimi 22-915.

(The other source, to my eyes, of questions of legitimacy is that the appointment of three judges in a narrow amount of time under one party's dominance of Congress and the Presidency has fundamentally shifted the "flavor" of the way the Court interprets law. Rather than bringing their legitimacy into question, that's rather the point of the process by which the US appoints Justices and the length of their term; the Court's "personality" is stable over long stretches of time, but it can shift and it does go through eras. People complaining about the new era don't seem to realize that for many Americans, the previous era was strange times that called to question in their minds the legitimacy of the Court).

> The aircraft accelerated and climbed through about 4000 feet at 197 knots over ground when the aircraft began to rapidly descend to 2175 feet MSL (1825 feet AGL) within 17 seconds accelerating to 280 knots over ground, climbed and descended a second time reaching a minimum height of about 1700 feet AGL. The aircraft subsequently climbed to and stabilized at 3000 feet, positioned for another approach and landed without further incident about 12 minutes after the initiation of the go around.

I’m a lowly human contractor who does a kind of reinforcement learning, with inducing hallucinations as one of my main goals.

I can’t give any work away and I’m not at my desk today, but having the AI rely on its own reasoning is one of my heuristics for tripping it up. For example, give it something it has to break down into a series of steps, as that’s making it rely on its own “logical reasoning”, and gives it many places to mess up. Don’t let it just depend on some external structure. Make it commit to its own bootstrapping capabilities.

I liked ones about can you draw certain letters (capital, English, etc) without lifting your pen off the page or setting up a physical pattern, like starting the alphabet on a chess board and having it give you the letter at a certain tile of the pattern continues. It may also depend on the model but giving a mathematical sequence an asking for the next term is also a common failure point.

I’m limited by what I can talk about and I don’t want to test across more models than I have to, but suffice to say if the goal is hallucination, it becomes apparent. If you ask it to walk you through each step of its reasoning it will be more likely to hallucinate somewhere in there as well.

The chessboard one might sound like it can just rely on the structure of chessboards and the English alphabet, but you’re also forcing it to understand some pattern, which is harder for it. Like, initialize the pattern with 3 letters not adjacent to each other so it has to “think” about the pattern rather than just repeat an easily identifiable one.
