Absolutely. If he made systemic changes to the company (and those are proveable) that focused on profit over security he belongs in jail, no matter how long it took for the murder to take effect.

He lead an airplane maker, not a coffee shop. Focusing on profit the way Boeing did was planning a murder and trying to reap the profit in the meantime. All the participating management belongs in a court room.
The way i see it (and here I describe how I think the law should work, not how it works):

If a Boeing engineer has a breakdown and robs a 7-11, the C suite of Boeing is not responsible for that.

If the Boeing engineer murders people in their course of duty because of the incentive structure set up by the C suite then they are responsible for that. How do you prove that? The same way how you prove anything. Lots of discovery which reveals concrete evidence of the C suite setting up and maintaining said incentive structure and then the prosecutorial team describing the connection to a jurry of their peers.

It is the difference between little Jimmy deciding to rob a 7-11 because they are dumb as a rock, vs doing the same because they grown up in an organised crime family.

Coming from openbsd, linux wifi management was a real disappointment. To be fair freebsd's wifi system was not very good ether. at a low level you needed to muck around with three different config programs to get it to work, and more often than not you did not want to touch any of that because it would interact badly with network manager, a 800 pound gorilla of a program containing more code and configuration options then most of openbsd. I am not ashamed to say that networkmanager always intimidated me.

The amount of care the openbsd team puts into keeping it's system simple is very under rated. If unfamiliar, all you usually need for openbsd wifi is.

ifconfig iwn0 join "essid" wpakey "itsasecret"

Cool. I on occasion poach a cool tool from a YT video or r/UnixP*rn, but having them showcased on a site like this is awesome!
I was thinking just that - I’d imagine it’d need to filter light to excite something that’d emit light at the wavelengths you want. It’s, as you noticed, a much more interesting problem.

Or emit white light when excited by a filtered wavelength which you’d filter again to get the color you want. With this second one you could do arbitrary palettes such as the Commodore 64 one.
Boeing to plead guilty to fraud in US probe of fatal 737 MAX crashes
It's a bit of a mess. The implementation of a codec, that is, and encoder or a decoder can be open source, despite the format itself not being open. H265 does have open implementation, but the format itself is not open. The opposite can be true as well, there are proprietary encoders to open formats for example. Actual list of open video formats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open_file_formats#Vide...

What OP meant is that they would like an open format on the website, which, then, can be viewed in any modern browser. I think that caniuse is a good resource in this regard.

https://caniuse.com/av1

https://caniuse.com/hevc

WebM with VP9 video is a good general browser target I think:

https://caniuse.com/webm

But funnily enough, even though h264 is not open, it's a widely decoded video format as well:

The problem I have with such tools, is interoperability.

This transpiles into Python. Okay. So for this to work in a collaborative environment, EVERYONE working on the code has to use it. Given how popular python is, and the natural inertia of programming languages, I simply don't see that happening.

The reasons for this are legion: From programmers simply being used to how python looks, over IDEs and linters that would have to be remade, all the way to automated tooling.

And even if all that were not a problem: This introduces one more step and one more element into the build chain. Which is something I can't see DevOps doing, for a, at the end of the day, purely cosmetic change.
Mostly experience.

And unfortunately it's mostly an ad-hoc experience. That is, my particular experience won't generally be applicable to your particular situation. You have a different team, different preparation, skill level... You're using different tools, workflows, methods. Your projects and features can be different to mine. You get the point.

But fortunately it's an experience that can be fairly easily acquired and organized if you make the effort. You only have to measure and follow through on your estimations and their accuracy. You start making mostly educated guesses. Then you go ahead and do the work and compare the estimates with the time you actually took. You correct for the next estimate.

Loop through this several times and you generally end up with better estimates through each iteration. If you do it in an organized and consistent way, obviously.

Some of the keys for making this work are in no particular order:

- Break down larger tasks into smaller ones and estimate the small ones. It's easier to correctly estimate a smaller task. Also, the errors should generally be smaller.

- Following the previous point: Make sure you account for "hidden tasks". That is, you need to consider those parts of the work you just assume tacitly and make them explicit. Setup, infrastructure, bureaucracy, etc. You need to write down all tasks when you break down large tasks into smaller ones. You can, to some extent, account for this through an added safety margin, like multiplying by 1.2 or whatever. If you do that, I'd say start by multiplying by a larger factor (1.5 even 2) and in time, with the added experience and better ability to spot hidden tasks, reduce that factor accordingly.

- Involve the people doing the actual work in the estimation. Don't try one person doing the estimate and a different one doing the work. Also, don't let deadlines become estimates. I mean, you may not avoid a deadline but do a proper estimation anyway. If not for anything else, at least for the consistency of the estimation process.

- Give and use actual estimations. An estimation is not a single number, but a pair of numbers -sometimes even 3 or 4-. You may organize your estimations as a "duration + confidence level" (e.g. 3 days with a confidence of 80%), as a "lower and upper bound" (e.g. at least 3 days at most 5), or as "durations at various levels of performance" (e.g. if all goes very well 3 days, normally 4 days, if X thing happens then 6 days). Different styles work better for different people and circumstances. I like the last one because it helps bring up potential hidden tasks. But whatever you do, try to stick to the idea that a single number estimation is just useless.

Oh ok, so I misread the arch diagram. I thought that iwd was talking to the iwd backend, which would then delegate to NM or CM.

It looks like you're right [0], so I stand corrected.

It also looks like it can't fully replace wpa_supplicant though:

Interesting. Do paying customers get a different bug tracker from the open source repos or do they all get directed to the same place? If people are paying for this editor then the tone may make a lot more sense.

I can't find anything about a commercial offering so I don't know what the non-free version entails.
There are ways and angles to make that topic interesting, in my opinion. But it probably won't be a grand action-packed space opera.

Music rights are a bit of a mess across the Atlantic. PRS/PPL licences don't reciprocate with the American equivalents and vice versa. Either it's two sets of licences (and possibly legal entities) or you end up geo blocking. Though on the up side you can stream to parts of Europe and even Australia from the UK IIRC.

Licencing bodies are also fairly actively monitoring these things. I've had them try to chase me for royalties for services that have been shut down because they're still listed in public directories.
> In order to be properly 8-bit it’d also need to round the colours to some quantised palette. The physics of that would be much, much more interesting.

Especially since determining "the color"--even in a huge palette--ia a biologically-bound process, linked to the reaction of cells in primate retinas, as opposed to being a fundamental optical or mathematical operation.

Multispectral wavelengths are to colors as chemical-stew is to smells.

For spilling a hot coffee cup you get $ 2.7 million worth of punitive damages. But for killing more than 200 people and trying to hide the evidence, we'll charge you 200 million and call it a day.

Ask HN: ChatGPT Plus now showing captchas constantly?
I noticed a recent development and wanted to ask whether anyone else has a similar experience. I have been a paying ChatGPT Plus subscriber next to some API use since they have offered this product and have never had any issues, never used the service for spamming or in what I'd consider a manner incompatible with their TOS, and have in the roughly six months rarely hit the four-hour usage limit, certainly not in the last two weeks. Additionally, I am not currently connected via a VPN or a corporate internet connection

Despite all this, I have now noticed that any request that goes beyond a quick text answer requires solving a captcha [0]. Additionally, even after solving one and getting output (that has become less reliable in my personal test on top), I get another one before any additional request gets processed. Previously, OpenAI has enforced a Cloudflare captcha for accessing the page, either during high traffic times or when accessing the site via a public VPN, but never directly after a request.

I wanted to ask whether any of you have experienced something similar. For me, at least, captchas are a massive nuisance. They break the flow I like to use LLMs for (back and forth bouncing of ideas), are an accessibility nightmare, and are generally barely acceptable for free websites that need to limit fraudulent traffic. On a paid service with a reliable, long-paying customer, it is frankly insulting and makes switching fully to Anthropic more attractive than ever, even though gpt-4o still does certain tasks in my field more reliably with less prompting compared to Claude 3.5 Sonnet or 3 Opus.

Am I the only one affected, or are you encountering something similar lately?

Today I learned something new, but I found it very ironic that after looking up a11y, the first example, discovered it meant accessibility.

When AI surpasses the high bar built up in other mediums (a.k.a. heavily curated environments for procrastination) then the problem of where to pigeon hole AI goes away, rather than a hostile/obvious illusion it will just be another welcome illusion.

There will always be humans trying to push humanity further or hold it back, we should expect bots in that mix from now on. Regulating bots out of existence only offers a false sense of handicap so that human contributions continue to feel the most meaningful for a time.

Nah, just a multi-year commercial break . . . Well, maybe I don't know how easy it would be to tell the difference any more.
one possible explanation is that the truly top lawyers could be a lot more creative in their interpretation of the law, and are capable of convincing a judge or jury that his/her unconventional argument is right in the eyes of the law, so they can achieve their desired outcome even when the odds are against their favor.

of course, the other factors that others have mentioned are probably also true regarding stuff like your network, your connections, etc.
They can make investments, sue, go bankrupt, have bank accounts, like a person, in their own name instead of the owner.

Genuine question: How are those random sources actually used?

I would think that for crypto it’s very important to not just have random numbers, but to have a uniform random distribution. Many natural sources would be either Poisson or Gaussian; if you make an assumption for the distribution you could of course make it uniform, but that assumption would be a weakness if inaccurate or changing over time.

So how is a true random source usually used to ensure uniform random outputs?
I played HMRABI on a DEC-10 with a teletype and a modem with an acoustic coupler when I was a kid - literally a game changer since affordable 8-bit computers came out shortly after and we could build rubbish games a bit similar to this. It was always a blast to script - in BASIC - the subservient computer advisor!
I've read it before, it doesn't make any sense.
They didn't actually get those damages.

To quote wikipedia:

> In addition, they awarded her $2.7 million in punitive damages. [...] The judge reduced punitive damages to $480,000, three times the compensatory amount, for a total of $640,000. The decision was appealed by both McDonald's and Liebeck in December 1994, but the parties settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.
Sure they are different things, but culturally I do think they are treated interchangeably. The average person on the street probably couldn’t tell you if X celebrity was embroiled in a civil or criminal trial, merely that they’re in a trial.

I still think it would be very anti-entrepreneurial culture to make company operators liable by default for everything their company does. Again the key word phrase here is “by default” and that obviously excludes executives knowingly committing crimes. But this distinction doesn’t seem to be understood by many commenters on this Boeing topic.
The people committing the crime include those who make the decisions. Hiring an assassin makes me guilty of murder.
Ask HN: What's the largest LLM you can run on your MacBook?
I'm planning to get a new laptop and am curious how different MacBook specs compare in terms of LLM generation performance. In particular I'd like to know:

1. What's the largest model you can load onto your GPU?
2. Which Apple GPU do you have (M1-M3 Max)?
3. How much memory (RAM) do you have?
4. (ideally) how many tokens/s can you generate at?
The article is primarily about Wall Street, but I can answer in the tax space. Law firms pay big money for lawyers with experience inside government tax offices. The ability to make a single call or knowing who to negotiate with can easily be worth seven figures to the client.

Keep in mind that billable hours is what the law firm cares about. The good lawyer brings in more billable hours, even if the client isn't paying a premium on an hourly basis (which is also happening).

Even as a command line power user, I still wish it were easier to install dependencies while working in a notebook. If I'm working on a project I don't want to have to switch to my terminal if I can solve the problem in one command from my notebook.

> If the ship's captain was asleep in a drunken stupor while the 17 year old helmsman crashed the ship into an iceberg, should the captain go unpunished?

No. But also, this is not the situation.
Exactly this. The first crash was negligent design of a technical system. The second crash was murder.

The regulators are also culpable since the design of the system was in the public domain before the second crash and they did nothing about it.
I don’t think that is contradictory with what I wrote. It is possible (and I think the actual case) that all American classes benefit from the strong American economy compared to say, Europe, while intra-economically inequality grows.

> There were two crashes. The CEO most certainly should have known about the problems after the first one.

Possibly, but not if it were a one-off. Are the airlines that chose to keep flying Boeing 737 MAX not equally (or more) responsible?
The economical system we live under is predicated on future growth. The economy can have different forms, it's the exploitative way of economy that demands future growth, perhaps we should be looking into a different way to organise the economy that caters for the inevitable future where we won't have constant population growth to support the system.
Of course. Gans did not produce the film, but it's possible he got points off the gross, of course; not sure how common that is in the French film industry.

I'm also thinking about other directors who have long periods of silence. I assume that often these gaps are filled with script doctor work, canceled projects (which nevertheless provide some paid work), commercials, and other side gigs. Todd Field had a 15-year gap between Little Children and Tár, and he clearly was busy with other things. But many directors have big gaps in their filmographies without any such obvious activity.
You need measures to define the vector spaces that those (what you call "forms", and others call "distributions") act on...

Not that it would be impossible to define everything without measures (or even without real numbers), but it's really not clear how to go about it.

Stink bug scent does not smell similar to cilantro to me, and I happen to be a person for which cilantro tastes like a bar of soap. Stink bug smell is typically closer to a pungent marijuana for me, but different enough to tell the difference. Every year, we get quite a few in the house, so I can recognize the smell quickly. However, my wife reports a different category of scent from stink bugs.

I wonder if the genetics responsible for making me taste soapy cilantro are responsible for altering any other scents/tastes.

Money is simply a container for a form of monetary energy that follows the same conservation of energy laws as physical energy.

And so monetary energy can't be created or destroyed but instead it flows from one system (dollars, bitcoin, real estate, gold, TVs, art etc) to another, and the value of each unit of a system is proportional to the density of the monetary energy the unit is storing.

It will inevitably be attracted to rest in the system whose units store it well and without dilution due to addition of empty units to the system (e.g. freshly printed dollars)

To say precisely where the monetary energy moved to is impossible, but the energy density of units of both gold and the dollar have increased relative to bitcoin over the last few weeks, so those systems are prime candidates
Can you explain why that matters? Yes a company can have a bank account. A company also has a name, like a person. An age, like a person. But what does that matter?
The real world isn’t that simple. If you just dismantled Boeing and sent everyone to jail, thousands of people would lose their jobs. America would lose a competitive edge compared to foreign adversaries.

As I said in the original comment, the difficulty is in punishing the people responsible while maintaining/rebuilding systems that have better outcomes. Blowing everything up doesn’t do that.
