Nice idea! On German keyboards, Z and Y are swapped, so holding SHIFT-Z is not very convenient. You may want to allow both for your demo.

If you let someone else choose songs or choose song others like too for a party it gets messed up.
Was about to post the same. Passing no judgement on this particular project, which must have been the result of honest hard work and dedication, but it's truly bizarre that people in the US would rather double down on the failed personal vehicle concept rather than embracing public transit, as more developed countries have.
Hence the reason this hasn't taken off yet. Add in the geographical requirements of heat close enough to the surface and costs go up higher. Because it's baseload power, its ouput has higher value than intermittent sources per mwh produced.
We are starting in experimental, working with Sling Aircraft for the airframe, factory build assist, etc to prove out the exact product that we want to take to certification in the future.
> Small changes in context (people/places/features you want to support) often radically change how well a program fits its context. Our dominant milieu of short-termism doesn't prepare us for this fact.

I'm wondering what would work better? Writing a small program from scratch, using a rich ecosystem of libraries, seems like one way to go. AI help makes that easier.

Another approach, more common with popular apps that have more to lose, is to evolve in place.

The members and officers of the AEA are geographically distributed at universities around the country, and their biannual conference moves around from city to city, but their Secretary–Treasurer is a professor at Vanderbilt (the previous Secretary–Treasurer was also a professor at Vanderbilt) and they have a permanent office in Nashville.
I don't think that is true?

I would expect an artist to get a far larger cut off Bandcamp than merch or tickets.

Artists get like 85% of a zero cost digital sale.

I can't imagine a ticket being close to that after ticketmaster takes a cut, the venue takes a cut, and the band pays all the expenses of touring.
It's not just a question of whether they generate more GHG per mile, it's a question of whether they generate more GHG per hour. You wouldn't make a thousand mile trip over the weekend by car, but people don't bat an eye doing it by plane.
> It may sound snobby - but I'm not super excited about the idea of lowering the barrier to entry for GA on a foundational skill basis. Like the light-sport rating, it encourages more people to be in the (already congested) airspace system who haven't really gained all the other skills necessary or experience to be there.

I'm not a pilot, but I've always wanted to go down the path. In theory - this should be rather exciting to a person like myself so as to lower the barrier to entry and allow me to just start. In fact I don't really like the idea of this and my first thought was: "this seems like the plane that other pilots hate" simply because of a lowered barrier to entry and new breed of "lazy" pilots. I could be 100% wrong.

The thing that turns me off from this is that when I do chart the path I want to learn and be able to do - the traditional way. And in fact I don't want to rely on software or inconsistent controls vs the norm. I'm all for the idea of making the cockpit easier to navigate and have situational awareness, but I'm not a fan of abstractions as much as I used to be.

So as a non-pilot who aspires to become one in the next decade I agree with the parent comment in that I do really hope the goal is not to lower the bar to become a pilot.
From your sources:

> marriages where the husband is the primary or sole breadwinner has fallen steadily in recent decades, driven mainly by the declining share of marriages where the husband is the sole provider – this was the arrangement in 49% of marriages in 1972, while today that share is _23%_.

> share of marriages where the wife is the sole or primary breadwinner has increased from 5% in 1972 to _16%_ today

Well I would've expected that to be a bit higher, but that's still only a 7% difference which is extremely minimal given that it's not been that long historically since it's even been, you know... legal.

The rise of both having to be equal providers probably has more to do with the rising cost of living and flat wages than anything else. Some of that caused by suddenly having twice the workforce of course.
There is another standard library related scenario: hash tables. The std unordered containers will store the hash of each key unless your hash function is noexcept. Analogous to how vector needs noexcept move for fast reserve and resize, unordered containers need noexcept hash to avoid extra memory usage.

> I don't even have to search, that's the point. I know what the thing is based on the name, done

Yes, you're avoiding a search cost. That's your argument for standardising the name. You're choosing a measure of standardisation in exchange for restricted variety and a marginally-higher price. (Even if you don't perceive either.) The utility of standardised labelling is reduced consumer search costs.

If you aren't changing brands frequently, you aren't choosing based on the word "macaroni." You're choosing based on the brand. You now what Kraft macaroni (or whatever) tastes like. You don't know what any macaroni tastes like, because they all taste very different, because the thickness of a pasta is one among many variables in play.

>It would likely result in more modular architecture.

I just see more workarounds rather than better tech. These laws almost never give better tech practices in the short run.

I imagine many games will switch to a f2p model (which seems to be an exception here) and hike up BP costs to make up for the lack of consistent $30-60 before we get a better modular architecture.

Over half of the for-profit rental stock in the US is owned by people or companies with over 25 units. And they are more than happy to let empty units stay empty if it will keep the value of their other units high.

It's not the "1-2 house landlords" driving prices up.

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2021/08/02/as-nation...

"Individual investors owned nearly 14.3 million of those properties (71.6%), comprising almost 19.9 million units (41.2%). For-profit businesses of various sorts owned 3.7 million properties, or 18.8%, but their holdings totaled 21.7 million units, or 45% of the total. Entities such as housing cooperative organizations and nonprofits owned smaller shares of the total."
This makes me speechless. Utter madness...

True, but there's still a whole lot you can do with virtual instruments, synthesizers, direct-recorded guitars, and minimal (or even no) good room acoustics.

That does leave some niches open for the value of recording live instruments in a sonically good space, so surely some professional studios will persist, of course.

And just for recording larger groups, regardless of the acoustics. Many home studios are fine for one person, or two, or three, but if you want to record a band or a choir or whatever you may just need more space.
> opposite from the Italians

This is almost certainly intentional. It reduces competition from imports since anyone who wants to distribute in America has to pay to repackage.
>> I'm certain each flight has its own completely unique ID buried somewhere in a database

Great, step one cleared.

Now have all the legacy systems everywhere that use 4-digit flight numbers been updated or replaced?
Yes, conductivity is pretty useless over time.
well yes, it's like UFOs. unidentified..... therefore they must be aliens visiting from other planets.
This is a consideration, but not a deal breaker. Most weapons leave a signature (though to be fair, usually much more transient) of the launch location. Artillery has to operate under the threat of counterbattery radar and fires. I'm certain the Russian operators have figured out acceptable mitigations.
> That sounds like an Apple issue

True. But guess who’s paying Apple good money in order to remain the default search engine. Who knows what else might be part of this deal?
The “make search difficult to change” is more obviously anti trust worthy, and if they did make this deal I would not be surprised if they were careful to not write anything down.

I hope too to accomplish at least two concrete ends:

1. Help and educate other people who are suddenly facing the opaque clinical-trial system: https://bessstillman.substack.com/p/please-be-dying-but-not-...

2. Ultimately, reform and speed FDA approval for fatal diseases like recurrent / metastatic head and neck cancers: https://jakeseliger.com/2024/01/29/the-dead-and-dying-at-the.... A drug like petosemtamab (MCLA-158), which I was on from Sept. 27 2023 to March 29 2024, should already be approved, instead of continuing to wander around in clinical trials.
sure, but every change away from that default means having the default is that much less valuable. So it sort of seems like it might make financial sense not devoting dev time to making it easy to switch.
But, as a previous poster said, these problems always seem solveable when building a freeway.

Is being only singleplayer the defining feature? How about games with both singleplayer and multiplayer sections?

The recent one that really kickstarted this would be Ubisoft's The Crew, which shutdown the servers a few months ago and is no longer playable at all, even the singleplayer story portions that have no need for multiplayer.
New LLMs aren't always better
To be fair, currently it looks like most people's "instinct" about LLMs is "let's just blindly trust what this thing says because it sounds authoritative". I'm waiting for someone to coin the term "AI natives", a generation which, it'll eventually turn out, will be just as "native" as Gen Z are "digital natives".
They get paid a share of ad revenue their users generate if they make Google the default in all of their web search entry points. These are not separate. The deal is 1) "make Google the default" and then 2) "there's a revenue share". No 1 then no 2.
Yup. I lost all respect for Apple's arguments that they should be allowed to gatekeep after they colluded with Google and Twitter in blocking the Parlor app right as it started to take off.
I wanted to document a particular genAI antipattern which I've seen a few times now.

LLMs are theoretically pretty fungible, because you send English and get English back--but in practice you still need to do some amount of technical due diligence before swapping model. These things are benchmarked on tasks which rarely resemble your specific use case. Blindly swap models at your own risk!

Something that has become very clear since the advent of GPT-3.5 is that LLMs are far from magic, and using them does not remove the need for good engineering fundamentals. It's important to have a solid eval suite so you can quickly benchmark your system against different LLMs, because the APIs we're all building on are constant moving targets.

My retirement plan is what everyone else in the rest of the world does: I plan on providing free childcare to my kids when I'm unable to work so they can work and save money.

I'll sleep on a couch and call it a day. That's the best retirement anyone can ask for.

I still set aside 10% for retirement though. Maybe I'll get lucky but even I doubt it'll amount to anything.

> Then they could summarize the entire KAN in an intuitive one-line function (including all the component activation functions), in some cases perfectly reconstructing the physics function that created the dataset.

The idea of KANs sounds really exciting, but just to nitpick, you could also write any traditional NN as a closed-form "one line" expression - the line will just become very very long. I don't see how the expression itself would become less complex if you used splines instead of weights (even if this resulted in less neurons for the same decision boundary).
It's not just price and ads either - the user experience on most of the big streaming apps is absolutely dismal. I just recently started using Stremio with a debrid plugin (basically, it's just a nice streaming frontend for watching torrents, without needing to download them to my LAN).

It is crazy to see just how good things can be. And Stremio's UX isn't even great, it's just that it's not loading me with ads and bullshit, and the thing I want to watch is just there, and turns on with minimal fuss.
BTW, you don’t have to rent servers on opposite sides of the planet just to increase network latency for testing.

Private Pilot here (so obviously biased.)

This is an excellent question to ask.

There are good reasons to fly. Some places in the US are only accessible through flight (I'm looking at you, Alaska.) Some places require insane amounts of time to commute/manage because of a lack of infrastructure. Some common low-flight hour jobs (eg: pipeline monitoring) are only feasible through flight.

There are currently good reasons that most people don't fly. They usually come down to time, money and training (which is time, money and ability.) There is also significant risk (think: along the risk level of riding a motorcycle)

I guarantee that flying will not get so safe and cheap that the average Joe will just start hopping in a plane for a hamburger every other day.

I personally think the things we should be focusing on are making much more efficient GA aircraft. Also, getting rid of 100LL and gasoline would be nice. It's really hard to do though.

As for the smartest and most-privileged people, there are much worse things to devote time to as an engineer. There are also a lot of engineers these days. Don't despair too much :)

You asked for a source, couldn't manage to read it, couldn't manage to have it even summarised for you into simpler English and concluded conspiracy.

And yes, the shortage is over. But the article goes into why there was a shortage in America. And it had to do with requirements around macaroni products.

On a certain level, the current system works. Supermarkets serve industrial food that can be sold at a solid profit. Those profits pay some people more who can then buy a greater variety of food for cheaper than is broadly available. Win win.
the hash approach would work for integrity, but the threat model of ML is complex. We have for example knowledge distillation attacks. So you would like to be able to detect if your model was used without your permission and somebody else is telling everybody that they trained the model by themselves without acknowledging you.

Though you'll still want a process manager for this to make sure it stays up. Which it won't, over the long term.

PHP also has a built-in webserver, which you shouldn't use.

FrankenPHP is the better way to do this with PHP: you get a full Caddy build, with all that offers, with a built-in PHP engine.

I don’t really think there is either, but I figured it was a funny way to present the “there never was anything to prevent you from forking in the first place” argument.
No. What we should be doing is encouraging smart, motivated people to address what they see as problems that they can make actual progress towards solving. As a natural consequence, many of those efforts will be things you find worthwhile and many others you won't.

If you think there's a problem more worthwhile of their efforts, why don't you dedicate your life to it?
Cables is an incredibly powerful tool with a fairly low learning curve. I couldn't have done what I did with my personal website[1] (sorry, mobile optimized!) if I was working with WebGL directly, especially not in the 3 days it took me to build and deploy with no prior experience.

If you're a interested in experimenting with creative stuff without the traditionally high barrier of entry, I highly recommend cables and the Decode.gl tutorial series[2].

Cables is an exceptionally versatile and user-friendly tool, especially for those new to creative coding. It allowed me to create my personal website[1] (sorry doesn't work on mobile) in just three days, despite having no prior experience. Achieving the same results using WebGL directly would have been significantly more challenging and time-consuming.

For anyone interested in exploring creative digital projects without facing the typically steep learning curve, I strongly suggest giving Cables a try.

Additionally, the Decode.gl[2] tutorial series is extremely high quality

I can't speak for what will or won't happen with MOSAIC, but the current proposal bakes in SVO so we (and a lot of other companies) all hope that stays.

Yes, our first product is experimental and has a 51% requirement, but Sling has a great factory build assist program that will help with that. Typically, electrical systems aren't included in a 51% build and Sling builders don't usually touch the avionics (when doing a factory assist), so we hope that stays true.

The things that exist today are good steps in the direction, but we are pushing the boundary further with fly-by-wire, where these is very little innovation.

Raison d'être - to be complete

I did not know that this expression was common outside of France.
But it's not silly, though. You're asking me to either judge the work on the same grounds as you do, or to abstain from opining if I can't, but I have no reason to do that. I can confidently say "You painted a can of soup on a white background. You didn't try. Your work has little artistic merit." I don't see any reason why I shouldn't say that.

I can't tell if this is Russian propaganda or just terminal naïveté. This war is going on because Russia, without justifiable provocation, invaded another sovereign nation. There is nothing for the Ukrainians to "negotiate" about other than Russia leaving their land.

I went down the telemetry rabbit hole a while back because I couldn't find an analytics/event log that met my needs. Nothing fancy—just a basic API to log certain events with some pretty graphs to display the data. I ended up building my own solution; however, telemetry.sh seems like it could have met my needs, but information on the site is sparse. Is this an interface for DataFusion, something akin to InfluxDB? It looks like a nice project, but some additional documentation (like you've detailed here) and use case examples on the site could go a long way.
