> With or without Chevron, "unelected bureaucrats" end up interpreting the law.

You really feel like there is no difference between a judge, schooled in the law and some GS-10 government employee?

Really? In deciding whether or not the government is following a law passed by Congress? You know, acting as a judicial expert? The "exact same unelected bureaucrats"?

Let me give you a real life example (from the people who brought the case to the Supreme Court) - the Dept of Fisheries decided that some fisherman required an observer to be on the boat when they fished (to make sure they followed regulations) and that they had to pay for it.

That was never a part of the law, only a decision by a bureaucrat. It couldn't even be challenged in court due to Chevron.

You feel that is a better situation than Americans saying "wait a second, why am I paying for this? that's not even in the law" and bringing the decision to a court of law?

You feel like taking away that power from Americans is a good thing?

"Generative" is a great technical term for LLMs because it is what they do. But it a bad marketing term because it doesn't describe what they can do well.

>object detection

This comes from a different class of machine learning models unless I am mistaken?
This is a category error, and basically a non-sequitur to the discussion. Whether or not LLMs are conscious is not the topic of discussion (and not a position I've seen anyone seriously advocate).
Modern ARM designs destined for computing are alo coming with management engine like features, just like Intel and AMD, plus other obscure silicone features and proprietary FW blobs, even more so than Intel and AMD, like DSPs, ISPs, etc.

If you want non-obscure HW you'll have to go back to pre-microcode days of processors roll out your own.
In C, it is only undefined behavior to access an automatic object that has not been initialized.

Static objects are always initialized, so the situation cannot arise.

That leaves dynamic ones, like uninitialized struct members in a malloced structure.

Accessing uninitialized dynamic memory means isn't undefined behavior in C. It results in whatever value is implied by the uninitialized bits. If the type in question has no trap representations, then it cannot fail.

It's amazing how long it's taken, how does a train take over a decade ?

Even just high speed from Bakersfield to LA would help tons of people.

There's no reason we can't have high speed throughout the nation. Imagine taking a train from LA to NYC in 30 hours.

Too many pockets to line...
Replacing your phone with accidental damage insurance is a lot more troublesome than going to Apple on the occasion you want a new battery. Insurance is often much more expensive.
I don't have any code for this, but I always thought it would be better if the boxes represented data types and the arrows represented functions.

Then you could use the arrow as a progress bar, and you'd have something that's a bit more focused on the inputs and outputs.

Also, the data types could show up as a stack of boxes (like a deck of cards) so you can see when you've calculated a novel dataset (highlight new card on top the deck) or when you've recalculated a previous dataset (highlight the nth card).

Such a view would resemble a commutative diagram (from category theory) and if you let the cards pile up for a while you could use their sizes to reason about which functions are bijective, which are good candidates for memorization, etc.

When you want to know why a certain datum is the way it is, you can use the same view to trace it back to it's inputs (in the boxes-as-tasks mode, you end up zooming in on some imperative artifact... logs usually... And discerning the inputs is left as an exercise to the reader). I think this goes by the buzzword "data lineage" and it's usually this extra thing but I think it should be the main thing. Which is why I want to make the nodes into edges and the edges into nodes.
My bad experience with squash merging was with Stash at my last job. Some developers there thought the "clean history" was so worth it they made squash-merging the default merge strategy.

The result: the git repository (at least in Stash) slowed to a crawl, because the comments to the commits were several hundred MiB. It was nuts. Never seen a git hosting site go that slow before.

Actually had to replace the whole repo with another, more or less wiping history (kept the old slow repo just in case, of course), and disabling that damn squash-merge button.
Yes. In fact California defining how fast their high speed rail must go is part of what put them in their current situation because they aimed too high when no one in the USA has ever built anything like what they are trying to do. In their own legislation for the project the train must have a top speed of over 200 miles per hour and must go from LA to San Fransisco in 2 hours and 40 minutes, which necessitates an average speed of over 150 miles per hour.
Depends how literally you mean programming and processing. For example UML is a programming diagram. If you don't have the definitions anywhere else and always merge the diagram with specific methods implementation when compiling, is that an good example?

What about ERD? If you materialise that into schema, is that programming?

I think you'll run only into those two categories - boxes represent literal code you join together, or boxes represent something declarative that gets compiled into code but not necessarily in a straightforward way.

I guess visual reporting like in MS Access could be thought of as a separate category?

Text itself is a form of visual programming.

We really have only two styles of visual programming:

1. Some sort language formed by left to right based alphabetic symbols in some pattern called "grammar". There's an almost infinite amount of possible grammars

2. Boxes and lines. Where boxes represent state or function and lines connect the boxes and state together. There's less formalization in this area so the axioms are vague but it can form something of a "grammar" similar to the above.

That's it. It's not a space that could really use innovation. It's the fact that the entire space has never innovated. We've just been drilling down on a very specific and biased way of seeing the universe. The concept of a compiler literally illustrates how deep it goes and how tied the idea of a program is to a "language".

If a compiler can determine that some statement is UB, it can treat that as an assertion that the code is unreachable. All other statements which reach only that code and no other are also unreachable.

A compiler's analysis can go backward in time. That is to say, the compiler can build a model of what happens in some section of code over time, and analyze it whichever way it wants.

You cannot go back in time from execution time to translation time, but the translator can follow the code as if it were executing it at translation time.
This is an absolutely unhinged project idea. Great work
38kHz support for IR is a nifty feature (this is the "TV Remote" signal).

Its a real niche, this is probably the cheapest thing that can make a TV Remote. A couple of AA batteries and you'll have 5 years of life. Forget "sleep", a lot of TV Remotes just go fully off after each button press. When a button is pressed, reset the computer, figure out which button, send the IR signal at 38kHz and then turn off again. The end.

That is false. If a compiler determines that some statement has undefined behavior, it can treat it as unreachable, and, transitively, other code before it as unreachable.

printf("hello\n"); // this doesn't have to print

The variable nozzle is still present[1], but Lilium long ago dropped variable pitch[2]. "Tilt-wing" is also inaccurate, since they only move the (already moving) aileron and elevator surfaces, not the wing and its associated structures.

Hopefully this can help clear up these (hastily-Googled) concerns.

>Their availability estimates for battery capacity is double the long term rate of improvement

This is an interesting claim that I'll look into, thanks. Do you have a source? I found a few slide decks but I couldn't immediately find this part, so any help would be appreciated.

I do expect in the nominal case that Lilium will take perhaps twice as long to come to market, so in the end the delays may roughly cancel out. Time will tell.

Note that battery density will effect all eVTOL startups equally, so it's not really a competitive disadvantage for Lilium per se, but rather an overall industry challenge. And I agree, there are many challenges facing the industry!

Good deep discussion, thank you. Cheers mate

Nope, at least not for team I was on
I think you misunderstand my point.

Im saying the tax payers should pay for the project, because everyone benefits. They shouldnt try to foist the cost on some niche group, as suggested above.

We already have a tax system which captures a portion of benefits from the social endeavor to each person.

Arguments that specific landowners stand to benefit more, and therefore should pay for the train instead of taxpayers is faulty. It is faulty because it ignores the benefits of a train to the general population, and it ignores that those with disproportionate benefit will pay more taxes.
That is what the antivirus is for. If you are not a high value target, then your risk is virus that are being widely distributed; and those will quickly find their way into an AV database.

If you are a high value target, AV is useless, since the attackers you care about will target you with bespoke mallare, that will not be in an AV database.
In this particular case, it was a guest room control solution consisting of DIN rail mounted TRIAC dimmers 0-10V dimmers and other line-voltage & dry contact relays. Backbone was an RS485, 4-conductor bus. Yes, those components can produce various harmonica and frequencies, however they were tested extensively in a lab in various configurations. Each configuration varies slightly based on room layouts and number of zones, and obtaining UL-listing for every possible permutation becomes ridiculous (IMO).

For me, that's not enough. There could be reasons to write code like that. Maybe a function reference is needed for `function1` so it can be passed as a callback. Maybe it's given a meaningful name rather than "function1".

>Everyone else has to pay CHF335/year, and good luck getting a partial refund if you leave the country (we didn't).

Not Swiss here(it's the same kind of tax in Austria), and I hate useless taxes that incompetent governments shove down our throats, but I support the idea of citizens having an independent, impartial and transparent publicly funded media, and unfortunately that costs money to fund and maintain either through direct or indirect taxes, but either way you'll still be paying for it one way or another from the state budget.

We can't have a functioning democracy expecting citizens to make informed decisions on important things like Brexit, when their only sources of information are controlled by big-ad-tech like Meta or Google and Warren Buffet.

The only question remaining is the traditional "who watches the watchmen", as in what assurance do we have that the publicly funded media is truly unbiased and independent and not paddling its own biases and political agendas.

If you sold it, you should not have remote access to it.

Auto-update is de facto isomorphic with remote access capability but that doesn't mean you should have a remote shell. At most, maaaaybe a way for the customer to enable a shell for developer support.

Otherwise, a/b setup to avoid remote bricking, DFU or whatever current standard for customer driven unbricking in exceptional cases. But really, test all the forward and reverse update cases and keep a handful of samples of all shipped hardware so you can make sure everything actually works, and you can figure out how to fix it when you mess it up. Always test upgrades starting from factory fresh with all the versions you ever shipped from the factory. (I've run into products where several updates in, version X would work or not based on the original version from the factory forever ago because of original config or something that didn't get migrated properly but never caused problems until recently).
Criminal charges aside, I thought the whole premise of having licensed engineers was that licenses can be revoked if the engineer screws up badly enough. Presumably this CPE has a license in some engineering discipline and should most definitely not have that license anymore, no?

If we can't even get that right we're definitely not going to escalate to criminal charges.
> Additionally, when plane speeds up, more drag is produced, slowing it down.

Wait, is it speeding up here or slowing down? Slowing down means deceleration, speeding up is acceleration, and it can't be doing both at the same time.

> When the plane slows down, it produces less drag, allowing to to pick up more speed.

Same deal?

I think what he's getting at is that drag increases with the square of speed, but it's a very confusing way of explaining it.

Seems weird that so many of the comments are complaining about immigration (the depletion of which has fucked the NHS, for example) in an article which is talking about the UK not keeping up with building housing for 5 decades, and even if they’d kept pace with many peer European countries they would have had a London’s worth more housing.
Three issues with pusher-prop "tail-less" designs:

1) While they are more stable in nominal flight regimes, they are far harder to recover to stable flight from perturbations. It turns out, it's (overall) much safer to have a plane that will BOTH stall easier (more predictably) and recover easier than one that is less likely to stall in the first place, but difficult to recover from. One analogy I often use is the difference between a mid-engine car and a front-engine layout. While the mid-engine car has a greater overall theoretical "handling" performance ceiling, a front-engine car behaves more predictably (less twitchy) at the limits.

2) They are more susceptible to CG/balance issues so they have less practical cargo capacity because just a weee bit of pitch/yaw/roll trim results in a drastic drop-off in the aforementioned stellar lift efficiency.

3) They have much longer take-off and landing runway requirements due to less ground-effect and much less overall wing efficiency at near-stall speeds.
There are other advantages to this method: easily showing which wires are active while debugging, giving new programmers an intuitive sense of what's happening in control structures like for loops, using color, symbols and line weights to intuitively convey things about data/object types, giving users a complete list of potential methods and parameters without having to look for it, being able to use more complex code shapes to navigate complex classes, people can learn the basics of coding logic without needing to memorize syntax simultaneously... There are obviously tons of shortcomings to visual code, but I do think a lot of the guff they get is unwarranted.
I acknowledged that in my comment. Part of my point here is that UL is not exactly a disinterested 3rd-party when it comes to endorsing additional layers of certification.
But you're not running Microsoft's Windows. You're running the output of an AI! And as everybody knows, there is no copyright on the output of an AI.

The (real-time) training of the AI was also completely legal, as an AI may train on anything found on the web, as that's freeware anyway.

The AI never stored or stores any copyrighted material. It just learns from it. Now in revolutionary real-time!

So how could wget.ai, or anything produced by it, be considered illegal? Using data found on the web to train AI models is fair use after all!
