I'm running Linux on mine!

I had to use modern linux (Fedora).

Worked out great. Previously I had been on Debain family distros like Ubuntu and Mint. I had no idea those were so outdated/crappy until I tried Fedora.

Now I'm a complete Fedora convert. Fedora is sooo nice.
Propagation delay, besides being physically unavoidable, is actually necessary for things like latches (and thus memory) to work, since they rely on feedback loops. The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_oscillator is another example.

Whilst I entirely agree with your overearching argument here, perhaps you are being a little bit snobby when it comes to SPLs.

Can you please be more specific with regards to the necessary skills that sport pilots haven't gained that you believe makes them a liability in the skies?

Lets be real: plenty of VFR private pilots are threats in the air & garbage on the radio - especially at untowered fields. You should be judging pilots on an individual basis, rather than broadly assuming a lack of knowledge based on their certificate type, given that the syallabus (61.105 & 61.309 + 61.325) is more-or-less identical.

Fermi is a treat for the architecture alone.
this approach is definitely more usable. radial menus only make ergonomic sense on ie game controllers. with a mouse it becomes a high precision action to use, plus poor accessibility because it doesnt conform to the standard box model.

Want to shake up GA?

- 150kt Cruise, 4h endurance
- 400kg "useful" load for pax/luggage @ 4h endurance / batteries
- 3-axis AP that'll do coupled approaches + autoland
- BRS, FIKI, Oxy/Pressurized
- $100k fly away

The Cirrus SR20 is the closest we have to this, at 6-7x the cost. You can kit build a Sling or RV10, which will get you what you want at 3-4x the cost plus 2-3 years of time.

Garmin, Rotax, Vans etc ... the avionics, materials, plans and tech already exists. It's needing a few hundred million dollars to set it up to be produced at scale so the $100k avionics package can be had for $10k. The $100k equivalent Rotax or Lycoming can be had for $10k. Maybe it's electric vs avgas.

Foreflight, Garmin Pilot etc do so much of the planning - and integrate well with the "Connext" or Dynon etc already. They've like racked up millions of hours now, I know I've thrown in a few hundred hours worth of feedback to them.

Your closest competitor is Cirrus who are already very successful using off the shelf components customized (eg Perspective+ vs 1000Nxi) to their liking, and are running a pretty substantial wait list for their planes. Their training is top notch, customer service is excellent and have thousands of airframes now flying over the past 20+ years.

I'm glad you guys trying to shake up this space, and I'd like more than anything to be proven wrong - I genuinely hope there's enough runway and capital to setup manufacturing to bring these component prices down and actually deliver a plane at a comparable cost to a car.
Using Perl for sysadmin work and living life in Regex for a while has its perks too. ;)
> The Ercoupe tried this exact approach in the 30s in one of the big GA booms and it just wasn't borne out.

The Ercoupe was a great idea for it's time, but we can do so much more with the technology we have today that we didn't have back then

> a production aircraft that's cheaper than $50/hr to fly would.

yes! our long term goal is to get there, but we need more people flying airplanes today to generate enough scale to actually build such an airplane and also stay in business. That's our approach, get more people who can afford to fly doing it, then use that to drive down the cost for everyone.
Call signs have letters sure, but while I think I’ve seen letters on departure boards they are rare.
Slashing and mulching, crop rotation, sturdier non-gmo varieties. The problem is that a lot of these techniques don't scale to the tens of thousands of acres and small margins of large industrial farms.
Those two example skills are probably unrelated, like two aspects of the same what-are-your-brain-interconnects problem.

I can place symbols and move them, but I can't imagine a realistic flower; if I tried hard enough I could memorize a chess boards, but the pieces wouldn't have exact shapes as such, everything would be just a representation of a thing, not comparable to a visual memory of seeing the layout. In programmer speak, I think in nodes, graphs, connections. I can imagine people moving in a room to great detail, but not at all their faces or clothing.

I'm strongly spatial but not photographic at all. You're probably strongly tactile, and you learn a poem as if it was muscle memory of a movement.
Or set the compiler flag -fno-exceptions and ban the use of exceptions. While it isn’t standard-compliant, a surprisingly large number of companies and projects follow these practices.
I think older TOW, AT-2, and other such missiles used wires rather than fiber optics. Fiber optics is thinner, which would give it a much longer range presumably.

Totally agreed. Our long term roadmap has basically this exact product on it. However, anyone who doesn't know about GA will have no clue what this even means. We want more people to get into GA so that there's enough of a market that building such a plane becomes a sustainable business.
This is why my dream search engine downranks pages with advertising on them. Optimize away! :)
Dismantle the "rts for billionaires" that our society has become. 99% of our effort is wasted fighting each other (in "business" and otherwise). We don't need it.

Maybe we could go totalitarian world government. Or put facebook in charge. I dunno. Somehow take away everybody's freedom to digest everything within reach.

It would certainly reduce the incessant grinding effect that we have upon the world. Choke the volcano of pollution and ecosystem destruction.

That would save many butterflies, and other of our co-earthlings too.

How many people who don't fly, but can afford to, have you interviewed about their reasons for not flying? This is where I would start trying to solve that problem. I'd be shocked if any of them mention coordinated flying :)

My 2c - the best way to go to big scale with a GA product is to somehow find a way to make it dual use and secure the DoD as a customer. The problem with doing this is that the DoD becomes your main customer and GA becomes your hobby...
I was once shown a dos-based CPU simulator back in the mid/late 90s.

From memory it showed instruction decode, execution, cache and memory.

We have. Demography stats show we're going to hit peak ahead of time, and enter a down trend. Worldwide trends are to less babies not more.

Curves don't feel like they're slowing down and I do agree the peak is north of where we are, but there is a peak coming, and a decline the other side.

Japan, China, Korea are all ahead of trend. Australia too but it's masked by immigration. Developing economies with high birthrates especially rural see huge declines with increases in local economy, opportunity.

>If you think climate change is real, but don’t care, because of the economy—then yes, you’re a climate change denier.

That is literally a contradiction. Words, what do they mean?

The truth is, our society is inextricably bound to high energy activities that can only be met with fossil fuels at this time. Being hysterical about some speculative theories about what *might* happen decades from now is not helping. People need to work on steady and responsible development of solutions that make sense and don't involve destroying civilization as we know it. We need fossil fuels for the foreseeable future, and only fossil fuels can work for common military operations (notwithstanding some huge technological improvement that we can't even theorize about yet).

>>I still struggle to see the harm

>>Google search is still the best out there

The second statement coupled with the fact that google search has declined in quality due to choices by google (not just the admitidely difficult SEO adversaries) is the harm. Google is able to purposefully degrade it's experience because of the lack of competition, and demonstratably has (while still, arguably, being viewed as the best).

I'm with you on the remedies, I can't think of any specific to paying to be the default that don't have multiple negative knock on effects (I'm particuarly worried about what this means for Mozzila funding myself). Still you don't skip chemotherapy just because it's more acute in the short term.

PinePhone SoC (Allwinner A64) does have the hardware needed for verifying boot via TBBR. It's just that no person or distro uses it for that because the key can only be written once. Also IIRC it's vulnerable to bus snooping.
To clarify maybe, NixOS puts all configuration and program files it handles in a world-readable object store on disk. If you want to manage secrets on NixOS securely, you have two choices:

- Manage it out of band. That negates all of the benefits of NixOS, at least for those files. (I.e. you would need additional deployment steps, rollback wouldn't work, you would have to stop and migrate system services that depend on those secrets yourself, etc.)

- Encrypt it and only decrypt it on activation (which happens when switching to a new config or on boot). agenix and nix-sops (the premier SOPS/NixOS integration) are two libraries that you can include in your config to do that. With this, the world-readable store only contains encrypted secrets.

Of course with #2 you still have to manage your private keys (age or whatever SOPS uses) out-of-band but that is significantly less work since those aren't expected to change nearly as much. You can also generally decouple that from your day-to-day deployment workflow.
This is really the most concise (and depressing) explanation of the situation I've seen.

When I was a kid, I dreamt of being a solo programmer that had a few successful desktop programs. Think mIRC, WinAmp, WinRar. Despite the audience for that being >100x larger than it was in the 90s, I'd bet the number of solo shops doing that successfully isn't a whole lot larger than it was then.
I think it's a bit of a stretch to get from tech to religion. There's a lot of "you do you" in the response I'm giving here, but I do appreciate this has been a thing for some time, the assumption I made in times past that tech == atheism is demonstrably false. I do wonder why? Isn't observable emergent behaviour in complex systems strong evidence of the absence of intelligent design? (btw, emergent behaviour is not an argument for AGI but I digress)

But I would argue it takes some mental gymnastics to get from theism in general to specifically the monotheism of christianity.

Rod Burstall, who was a significant player in the Edinburgh University AI scene in the 60s and 70s converted to Buddhism. I think that's possibly the stronger trend here. I'd welcome comment from the South Asian contingent which is now everywhere.

Probably, this is a local event in tech bound up in fear of the unknown, lack of experience of the past tech boom-bust cycles, the electoral cycle, the social media wierdness about truth, cookers online. I don't personally see a strong nexus in tech to religious expression.

Pentecostalists online might disagree.

Lastly, which is a little sad because I don't like to end on a sour note, that was incoherently badly written. If you feel drawn to exegesis, get somebody to crit your work.
Isn’t a better solution for the given distance - rail transport? It’s more affordable, ecological and can serve higher number of people from different economical layers. This seems more like an enthusiast toy rather than an alternative for 50-300 miles travel options.
More disingenuousness (or, perhaps, just lack of careful reading?).

1. The term “tone policing” was used here as a pejorative, discussion-terminating label. The response tagged the OP with that label and then did nothing to explain why this arbitrary tag mattered. The clear purpose was to discredit via name-calling.

2. Any association you perceive to exist to feminism and antiracism is irrelevant to this discussion. And you’re doing it again, by the way - lumping everyone under a label of “conservative beliefs” which nobody asked for. (I don’t fit that label at all, yet I agree with the criticism in the original post.)

3. “There isn’t any [substantive commentary] to be provided” almost perfectly encapsulates what is so grating and deficient about the rhetorical style and worldview on display in the response. “My position is so obviously right and self-evident that anyone who could dare to disagree with me shall be named and shamed, and not engaged with.” Had you paid some attention to the overall context of this discussion, you might have noticed, e.g., that one criticism of the label is that it’s being used against people who don’t deny climate change. Let that sink in.

It depends a lot on situations. I've heard that there's a fungus in the Southern US that slowly eats some floppy disks (or grows on them, I donno). Also there's a luck component with nearby magnetic sources.

I like your product but find the inability to set it as default very aggravating. Your plugin has improved a lot but it’s still janky. I blame Apple as much as Google. They could choose to align with users but instead they made Safari a profit center with Google’s collusion.
it is indeed a problem. however, Sling (who we are working with on our first model) is also developing a "Whisper" version of their airplane to make it dramatically quieter (https://www.slingpilotacademy.com/airport-noise-reduction/#1...). We hope to adopt the tech into the Airhart Sling as well
This was probably the first game I really loved and played to obsession (on an Apple ][)

It was also where I discovered my first 'wall hack'. The apple version only loaded the current tile into memory - every time you stepped off screen, it would load the new tile from a floppy and reset your character position to the opposite edge (e.g. walk off the right edge, load the tile to the right and reset your character to the left side at the same height).

I found out (largely by accident, initially) that if you removed the floppy, it would try to read a couple times, and then give up. It would still reset your character position to the other side of the screen but not update the actual tile graphics & platform locations. You could use this to cheat past otherwise impassible barriers - find a tile you could walk all the way from one edge of to the other at the same height as the barrier, take out the floppy, walk across the tile the right number of times so you are in the tile 'past' the barrier, then put the floppy back in and walk back so you're now on the other side. :)

The version I played also had a charming bug(?) where if you underflowed a stat counter (e.g. by doing a 5 manna action when you only had 4 manna left) the game would print the message "I have nothing more to give" and then lock up, leaving it ambiguous whether it was your character that had nothing more to give, or the actual game.
Goodbye, Jake.
Yeah, a beam-rider, doesn't have a fiber optic cable like the TOW.

There was some cool footage early on in the war where a skilled Ukrainian Stugna-P operator pointed the beam just off of an enemy helicopter (or maybe some armored vehicle, but I think it was a helicopter), then corrected to the target at the last moment. This gave as little warning as possible to the crew of the helicopter via their illumination sensors. Very skilful.
Yes, and tanchid are an important fly. However, they don't seem to have much issue in regards to population etc. I'm not exterminating nor killing the flies just protecting the caterpillars. I still lose many caterpillars to the flies. In 2021 when I got 80 successful caterpillars I still had a ton that died from the flies. I was approximately 40% success rate with my caterpillars growing into butterflies the rest 60% died mostly due to the fly.

Thus far in 2024 I have 23 dead from flies. With my other 4 hatched, 11 chrysalis, 12 caterpillars that's 46% dead from flies (thus far) I suspect some of the 12 caterpillars are already gotten by the fly so roughly ~50% dead to the flies thus far.

Turing Complete is fantastic! It's a very much one of those games I'd say is like Kerbal Space Program, in the sense that you can be technical and have encountered all the concepts before, but bridging the gap where you actually grok what's happening intuitively isn't quite a leap you can make.

It is one of these paradoxes. Yes, the older techniques can IF done right match or even exceed calories per acre. But that is in ideal conditions. You could scale this up provided you want 25%-50% of the population working farming, that is not going to happen voluntarily.

In most normal conditions, large scale agro needs large scale solutions and unfortunately Glyphosate is but one of these tools to get that scale up.
