Fair enough. I think at any rate we can agree there should be more done to stop bribery/corruption. Were it my choice, any gift or donation to a politician or judge would land both the giver and receiver in jail.

I'd count these gifts/jobs given after the official retires the same. To that end, a generous pension wouldn't be out of line imo.
I'd suggest doing some research before planting stuff. I recently read that it's suggested to not plant milkweed (and to be ensure you cut it back seasonally if milkweed is appropriate) if you live in certain areas as it may otherwise disrupt their migration.

If you're looking to attract butterflies there are other endangered butterflies that can use your help. E.g. the Misison blue butterfly likes certain species of lupine. Black swallowtails, while not endangered, love dill. Don't underestimate how much even just a couple caterpillars will eat.

Other fauna seem a lot less picky. The hummingbirds out here seem to like the natives and "exotics" equally. The leafcutter and carpenter bees too. If you're in California, Calscape (dot org) is a great resource. And if you're in the Bay Area there are plenty of nurseries that specialize in native landscaping that can offer guidance. In the LA area, check out the Theodore Payne Foundation.

The person I was responding to was not talking specifically about the article, but "many people". And some people may use the tabs for one, more, or none of the reasons I listed. I was not trying to sell anything. I don't even think that tabs are a good product, only the best so far, with regard to those considerations.
Do you really need to go though all this trouble? We just plant a bunch of swan plants (milkweed) and watch the caterpillar and monarch populations go nuts. Add a bunch of flowers they like too (like zinnias) and that's about all I do.

Honestly, I love the idea of a more modern GA airplane… but I think that for most people, stick and rudder skills are the least of their worries. Don’t get me wrong, people do stupid stuff all of the time, but I think the real improvements that you can bring are in the flight planning and monitoring software. A moving map with range heatmap at present conditions, warnings as options get closed out, airfields within glide range under present conditions, audible warnings and stick shaker if you do some kind of stupid cross control fuckery or need to lower the nose of the aircraft, etc. Sort of a co-pilot system that keeps you up to date with options, conditions, checklists, vectors, etc.

Most accidents are a result of bad planning, and even an overweight or poorly functioning aircraft could be detected early in the takeoff roll with accelerometers. If you had a system that could keep up on realistic plans under the circumstances of the flight, it could go a long way towards improving flight safety.
Not a good read.

>> The VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System safety that trial enrolled 17 patients, 11 of whom were evaluated. Mean weight loss was significant, and weight loss of ≥ 10% was noted in responders (stable or improved disease) compared with nonresponders. Three patients dieted longer than 16 weeks (survival, 80–116 weeks). One of these patients was alive at 121 weeks.
I remember reading that Ukraine loses about 3-4 drones for every successful hit. Higher in EW heavy regions. Beyond EW the losses are because they can't find targets within battery time (these are always 1 way drones regardless), they miss, they get shot down, etc.

Eliminating EW loses of the other drones per target could make it worth it by itself.
Find a primary doctor you like and stick with them. Do your check ups, talk with them, communicate anything odd.

Not sure if the wild milkweed out here in VT is the "big ugly broad-leaf one", but I think they are amazing plants. And I love the alien-looking pods with the almost fractal arrangement of fluff seeds inside. The flowers are interesting too if only because of their brevity, they only last a few days. I love watching the milkweed grow over the summer. Burdock too. Incredible plants.

Your comment is being downvoted, but I'm curious about this, too. Is this an American thing, that the government forces you to mow your BACK yard?
The crash you reference was most likely caused by a pilot choosing to fly too low (they performed the flyover at 30ft instead of 100ft) and striking trees which had not been marked on charts provided to them. The pilot did try to blame the fly-by-wire system, but it wasn't very convincing.

Why does software suck these days.
Open Source your work. Then face the reality that if you can't get people to see it, and most people don't have the means and time for it, they won't see it, they won't even know it exists. Google doesn't help you at all, you have zero chance in the search results. Github also doesn't help you at all in disseminating your work. They just host and process your code.

Without money you are fucked. That's the harsh reality. You open source your work, for others, AND YOU HAVE TO SPEND MONEY to market it to people :D. And who has enough money? Companies. Those will use your work, and give back nothing.

So, what average people don't have? Enough money to market their software which was built on other FOSS software. Since each and every platform after some initial openness is closed down for the people. You don't get to the table without spending money. Meaning: open source is a scam. You work for some limelight, because you are naive, and benevolent, while the vultures steal your work, your livelihood and your ideas.

Open source is a scam. Stop posting your ideas and your hard work for others for some illusion of a reputation. Ask money for it, create your own license and patent your ideas, it's not a sacrilege. You can do whatever you want with the money flowing in, like buy your freedom.
There's no indication in the comment it wasn't allowed, only that they called to confirm it was okay.
Yes but also no. WebGL lacks compute shaders and storage buffers, and so has a different path on WebGL than WebGPU. A lot of the code is shared, but a lot is also unique per platform.

---

This is also as good a place as any, so I'll just add that doing 1:1 graphics comparisons is really, _really_ hard. OS, GPU driver, API, rendering structure, GPU platform, etc all lead to vastly different performance outcomes.

One example is that something might run at e.g. 100 FPS with a few objects, but 10 FPS with more than a thousand objects. A different renderer might run at 70 FPS with a few objects, but also 60 FPS with a few thousand objects.

Or, it might run well on RDNA2/Turing+ GPUs, but terribly on GCN/Pascal or older GPUs.

Or, maybe wgpu has a bug with the swapchain presentation setup or barrier recording on Vulkan, and you'll get much different results than the DirectX12 backend on AMD GPUs until it's fixed, but Nvidia is fine because the drivers are more permissive about bugs.

I don't trust most verbal comparisons between renderers. The only real way is to see if an engine is able to meet your FPS and quality requirements on X platforms out of the box or with Y amount of effort, and if not, run it through a profiler and see where the bottleneck is.

DTrace allows a bunch of nicer filtering (for example by process name, or by function in call stack), but in this case truss was just a no-brainer. I'm not as comfortable with DTrace yet as I'd like to be!
> The author mentions red lobster but that wasn't PE that ran them into the ground it was a fishing company that bought them from PE.

No, it wasn't PE that ran them into the ground. But PE didn't buy Red Lobster to even attempt to salvage the business. It was far more akin to "how much can we bleed out of this before it dies".
> But introvert is not the same as not leaving the house.

This one. If I ever needed to describe myself it would be between an extreme introvert or at least 'a guy in himself'.

But if you would ask the guys in the bars I frequent... I doubt introvert would be the word they say.
Thank you, glad you appreciated the post! I love writing up debugging/incident reports and this one was just really fun.

Regarding fuzzing... maybe? I've wondered that a couple of times myself but in reality there are really just a finite number of platforms, and so much of this is determined at compile time by library call availability. But I'm probably not thinking as deeply about this as someone could be, and I'd be interested to hear other folks' thoughts.
I don't see fly-by-fiber getting very popular. The only goal is anti-jamming. But if the drone was fully autonomous, there would be no signals to jam. And the fully autonomous drones are coming fast. Meta's SAM 2 can follow pretty much any object anywhere, and people are beginning to get it running on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin. That's 75% of the work. The other 25% is autopilot and a way to disable it if it flies back over friendly territory. 6 months I'd say, for amateurs starting now. I'm sure some companies already have prototypes working.
The game Silicon Zeroes ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/684270/Silicon_Zeroes/ ) teaches this. It starts out with components computing their outputs instantaneously, but then introduces the concept of microticks such that the output of a component is unstable until its inputs are stable enough for some time, so the clock speed must be adjusted according to the largest delay in all circuit paths. The game starts off with simple circuits but very quickly becomes about making a CPU, although the ISA is hard-coded into the game and very small.

Another game Turing Complete ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/1444480/Turing_Complete/ , https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38925307 ) lets you build a CPU from basic gates and a much larger (and customizable) instruction set. It also has the concept of gate delays, thopugh it doesn't visually show the unstable output as Silicon Zeroes does.
Isn't that worldwide and not just the US, and not inflation adjusted.
> That doesn’t make a ton of sense, right? Google is probably not more scared of Kagi than Bing.

Google certainly should be more scared of Kagi than Bing. Bing is a known quantity that's not going to suddenly shoot ahead of them. A smaller, newer competitor might. Just like how it wasn't Lycos or Jeeves that dethroned Yahoo, it was the two guys in a garage.
I have a milkweed too. Last year it was kinda small since it was its 1st year but we had 5-6 monarch caterpillars, but gradually they disappeared 1 by one with no chrysalis I could find.

This year none yet, I was hoping the migration hadn't started, because my milk weed is giant and ready to raise these lil things if they would just show up.
I’m sorry for both of you. I thank you for your words. As someone who’s right behind you in line, your words mean more to me (and hit harder, and cut deeper) than I expect they do for many.

Take my love with you both. See you on the other side.
It probably means simply that the paths to the jar files cannot change between the training run and the actual run. So any valid path/location is ok as long as it stays the same.

As for typical constraints, there needs to be people on certain desks at certain times. People have to take breaks between N and M hours after starting. People have off-desk time that they use to perform other tasks that must be managed and must be contiguous. People have different numbers of hours they have to work, and a finite amount of time that they are allowed to be on a particular desk on a given day or week.
As a fellow white man, it's hard to see for us, unless you're looking for it.

I was going to a meeting with my product owner, I was there to answer any questions about a particular tech, nothing else, she had designed what we were going to build, I was there as backup to explain the backbone of it on a technical basis.

They didn't have any technical questions, but every time they asked a question about her design, they asked me. I kept redirecting them back to her, but still they asked me.
Nice. It's certainly do-able. NASA funded efforts in this direction from 1994 to 2001, with their Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiments
(AGATE) consortium. [1] Around 2011, they tried again.[2]

There were two main goals - better avionics capable of handling large numbers of small aircraft in busy airspace, and small jet engines for small aircraft. The Cirrus Vision Jet is partly an outgrowth of that effort. It is capable of finding an airport and landing automatically in an emergency. Plus it has a back-up parachute. It costs $2.3 million, though.

Cost, as usual, will be the problem. Many have set out to build modern low-cost general aviation aircraft. Some nice high-cost aircraft have resulted.

That's actually part of the problem with climate change.
It's almost like there is more involved in a successful migration to a less synthetic approach to agriculture than simply stopping using fertilizers and pesticides.
The cost per trip seems to be about on par with commercial flight prices. Can an airplane like this ever be made electric, with similar range?

Smaller farms, smaller plots, greater variety in crops. There's a bit in episode eight of the documentary series Omnivore contrasting farmers in Mexico versus industrial farming in the USA, showing one of the remaining farmers in Mexico and how they do corn, talking about how a million Mexican farmers were put out of work because they could not compete with lower cost imported corn from the USA after NAFTA.

The status quo in fact encourages going back to the toolbar-infested days of yore. The only way to use a non-bribe-paying search engine in Safari is to install a browser extension with access to every webpage. There are standards that work just fine for switching search engines without any extensions or toolbars but Apple explicitly rejects those standards.
Let's translate the black square to the world of music: Press the C key on your piano and hold it down for a full minute then release. This is the "music" released by someone who later became renowned for this music. The music experts call it an amazing work of art. You disagree, and you're told to take a music history class if you want to understand why that one-note music is an amazing work of art. Ridiculous, isn't it?

To me your black square is a 1-minute C note, and your soup can is "Mary had a little lamb".

Is it that few consumers care about this, or that the products are very good and consumers want to buy them but then are upset when the product is killed? I think the latter is more likely, given that the petition in question is being spurred on by people wanting to return to games that they enjoyed but have been arbitrarily closed down.

Understand that companies have a perverse incentive to kill games that are genuinely good in their own right: People may not buy a new game if they're still playing and replaying a slightly older one.

Right but I don't know of any GA stall/spin warning system that takes into account pilot input. Even simple sensors are lacking, for example accelerometers are nearly free yet GA planes give you no warning that you're in a skid.

Similarly given yoke input, bank angle and speed you could warn of an impending stall well before it actually happens with a few position encoder sensors. As you point out, the current system relies on pilots recognizing a stall which is a foolish thing to rely on and almost all GA stall warning sensors are only on one of the wings and require actual airflow disruption to work. In many cases that is already too late or the other wing could stall first. The calculation doesn't even have to be perfect since most pilots want plenty of margin of safety on a base to final turn. I'd much rather have a false alarm + go-around than an inadvertent spin.

The collision thing is also ridiculously irrational. The FAA requires drones over half a pound to continually transmit their location yet somehow considers it sufficiently safe for planes to fly without a radio nor transponder around most of the airports in the US relying only on pilots looking out the window.

It's just disappointing that the vast majority of GA accidents could be completely avoided with slightly better avionics.
Will those that purchase your highly polluting engine get a free on-the-house upgrade to this nebulous green future that likely won't happen?

How are you planning to offset the enormous amount of pollution you want to create in the mean time? Are you purchasing carbon credits? Planting trees?
Former pilot (now paragliders) and founder/engineer here-

I'm not sold that this approach - eliminating the need for coordinated flying- really removes the big barriers to flying. I'm surrounded by aviation lovers who don't fly PPL, and the big barriers are cost, time, and fear.

The Ercoupe tried this exact approach in the 30s in one of the big GA booms and it just wasn't borne out.

I'd love to see more GA pilots, but this won't get us there as quickly as say, comprehensive medical reform or a production aircraft that's cheaper than $50/hr to fly would.
These kinds of things are highly localized and I would not be surprised if there are municipalities that would have this kind of restriction.

(So, disclosure that I work at Google, but nowhere near anything to do with search or ads.)

That is wildly distorting the way online advertisement works, mostly by a sideways denial that "advertising works" at all. The business model is that people who sell "X" want a link to their product displayed when potential customers consume content related to "X". There's nothing unclear or weird about this, and it's not fundamentally any different form print ads in the 1930's.

So to the extent that "Google's main game is not serving better results", that's true, in the same way that Apple's game is not selling a better mobile operating system. iOS and search both generate revenue by making the product they're actually selling more effective.

There's this social technology called "marriage" in which these risks are absorbed by the husband, and in which the husband is legally compelled to do so even if he doesn't want to, and compensate you for lost earnings potential if the marriage dissolves.

So yes, there might be zero stability if your intention is to be a single mother. But I've heard that application of this novel idea could be helpful with these concerns. Maybe Koreans could look into this incredible new technology?
Because the money for it is stuck in weird places. I can't write some small bit of software and just sell that for a decent price. People don't pay for software these days, so my best hope is to give it away for free and then running ads. And then, if it's any good, someone will come by and make an open source clone and give that away for free, tanking sales/ad revenue. So the money in writing software is by working at a huge company that has found money with software, like Google and selling ads.
