Well obviously it's viable in the sense that it could fly. But aviation projects in the USSR were based more on the whims of Party leaders than on any sort of rational economic viability.

Current designs for eVTOL aircraft are very short ranged due to limited battery capacity. At most they'll be used by a few wealthy passengers for short hops within highly congested cities. And they won't be drones; it will be many years before the FAA even considers certifying drones for carrying paying passengers, especially in airspace where VFR aircraft operate ("see and avoid"). Human pilots will be in command.
Do you know any Trump voters? Have you ever spoken with one?

You probably have and didn't even know it, precisely because of angry rhetoric like this. Even the Bay Area broke 20% for Trump in the last election.

That's one out of every five voters, but I bet very few people walked around wearing a MAGA hat in the Bay area, and you can't really blame them if they valued their physical safety. And now, according to Nate Silver's latest model, it looks like now you're angry at more than half the country.

I don't want to offend you, but it seems like you very much misunderstand both the Trump voters and actually what Trump stands for.

Not disputing that, but the line gets blurry when you consider things like golden rice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rice) as a method of food fortification.

The purpose for golden rice touches on a big consideration for nutritional policy: diets aren't always diverse and don't always include enough sources of nutrition. History is rife with stuff like beriberi or scurvy due to cultural norms or inability to find varied sources of nutrition.
I don't think the examples are meant as actual real world things, but rather abstractions to help reason about the problem.

> Presidents do not need protection from the people, the people need protection from presidents.

I know this sounds good but is it true? I've never needed protection from the president but presidents are occasionally shot at and sometimes killed. Presidents need the secret service because they do, in fact, need protection from the people.

You're treating this as a binary thing -- either you know something or you don't -- like it's rote memorization of facts.

But that's not how problem solving works. You need work your way from what you do know to get to an answer for what you don't. It's not guessing -- it's taking the background knowledge you do have and applying it to the problem at hand (and every engineer should have some background knowledge, even if it's just basic arithmetic).

That's what these kinds of questions are testing. Someone who immediately gives up is probably not going to be resilient in the face of new challenges.

My feeling is that this trend cannot continue forever, and for infinitely many N they are different. If they are always the same, then you could find the steps champion just by finding the marks champion. This would be convenient, because as you pointed out, steps are more logically important, while marks are more practically important. But this feels too good to be true, and so it probably isn't.

Video of the incident: https://youtu.be/JjpXofja1EM?si=E90kSKtGAwFQoUWN
There are a few things worth remembering. 1) "Interviews" as a process to select employees is probably so broken as to to be completely useless to employers, 2) they are not aware that it's completely useless and believe in their own supernatural ability to use interviews to select ideal candidates, and 3) each and every one of them thinks that it works completely different and that all other hiring managers agree with them on every detail.

If we start with the assumption that (for the most part) interviews are a useful HR tool to hire people with, supposing we have a skilled manager to give the interviews (haha!), they will ask a series of questions, and otherwise engage in conversation which will elucidate whether or not the candidate should be hired. Presumably they are relying on the answers given, but they might also be relying on non-verbal clues... body language, facial expressions, who knows maybe even pheromones. Whatever the correct "answers" are, what if we train a candidate to give those answers without actually understanding them? What if he rehearses it? What if he can even do the body language and facial expressions?

We've just cheated the process. Candidates are incentivized to cheat the process, and you can vilify them all you like, but if they can manage the trick they can (at least temporarily) receive a paycheck which all of us seem to need. No matter how difficult it is to do this, it's likely some have managed to perfect that trick.

Furthermore, no one gets a bachelor's in "assessing interview performances". There are no degree programs for it. No training bootcamps for it. I've never worked anywhere that they send the hiring managers away to some seminar specifically about this. So even if it were possible to assess the performance, the people doing the assessing likely aren't very good at it.

If magically someone developed some brain scanner that gave perfect, empirically verifiable answers in a "hire/don't hire" format, what are the chances that a hiring manager could do even 60% of what the machine says? Flipping a coin should get 50%, if we limited the candidates to a matched set of hires-don't-hires, right? Would the hiring managers even do as well as random chance? Or are there some personality defects that have some of them do worse even than that?

Interviews are more in the realm of superstition than sound practice. They're polygraphs without the polygraph machines.

My gf is a trained educator too with two masters somehow related to education. She teaches 8th grade English but has also taught highschool.

She can't write or communicate at any level beyond typical hairdresser. Considering it's very hard to fail out of most upper level education unless you simply don't do the work at all, we really should stop giving people so much credit for just getting degrees.

It's what you do with it that matters and how you devote yourself on your own time that makes people great. And that's what the previous commenter was doing. Trying to give credit to some education system someone went through is taking away from the person that actually made something of themselves, almost always by themselves.

Side note, I graduated with a MechE degree from UC Berkeley. Decent grades. I can honestly say I learned almost nothing. I just did a ton of work they wanted. If I made something of myself in the engineering field, I promise it wasn't because of UC Berkeley.

> Has anyone tried applying these same techniques to the 2-color 4-state case?

I assume you mean the 4-color case. As I understand it, the deciders currently in use are sufficient to prove all the 2×4 holdouts non-halting. So the current champion gives us Σ(2,4) = 2,050 and S(2,4) = 3,932,964, barring some big errors in the decider design. The result just hasn't been organized in one place.

> (6-state 2-color and 2-state 5-color both seem intractable, perhaps even provably so.)

Yes, 2×5 has the Hydra, and 6×2 has the Antihydra, which compute the same iteration, but with different starting points and halting conditions. The standard conjecture (related to Mahler's 3/2 problem) is that this iteration is uniformly distributed mod 2, and a proof of that conjecture would very likely prove both machines non-halting, by yielding suprema and infima on the cumulative ratio of 0s to 1s. But of course there is no known method of proof.

Hmm, around n = 2 or k = 2, there are only 2 added transitions for a machine to do "the next big thing" googologically, so that doesn't leave much slack for many different machines at the same level. But maybe that could happen closer to the n = k line, where each increment adds many new transitions. Or to the contrary, maybe each increment just does several "next big things".

NATO war doctrine doesn't use nearly as much artillery as Soviet (Russian)- preferring air superiority and bombs/missiles instead. While it isn't clear this is really better (and I hope we never find out), it does mean that having less production ability may not be an issue. Which is why the US Air force is the largest air force in the world, followed by US army, then US navy at 4, and US Marines at 7.

Where the problem is, is Ukraine is trained on the Soviet war doctrine but are getting backing from NATO - but without all the airplanes NATO would use (and it isn't clear if they could train pilots/crew fast enough if given, but they haven't been given much) they need something to fight with.
