I think you’re trying to solve the wrong problem, though with a lot of the right tech.

Basic stick and rudder skills aren’t that hard, save perhaps for crosswind landing/takeoff.

Envelope protection and emergency auto land are good, but I think already done by other companies.

Taking existing controls (stick and throttle) but giving them different names and making them command inputs rather than controls, but ones that vary what that command is subject to the IMPLICIT mode the aircraft believes it’s in (TOGA, land, cruise, taxi etc) are sowing the ground for confusion - look at all the analyses of Airbus incidents due to pilots not understanding what modes the aircraft thinks it’s in due to combination of control and sensors and control law fallbacks due to failures. The idea is sound but pilots lulled into complacency with normally simplified handling get into wild and sometimes fatal rides when things go amiss. Spend time on Mentor Pilot’s excellent channel.

Personally I think one of the biggest improvements to safety would be a decent AoA display and warning system for all aircraft.

Next up a solution to VFR into IMC, with subsequent loss of control or terrain / obstacle impact, which is effectively a use case of envelope protection and emergency autoland.

This tech exists, it’s just not in most of the fleet and not triple redundant.

Finally, rather than trying to make an aircraft more like a car, or only being confident flying your aircraft within a narrow regime, go do some aerobatics and unusual attitude training so you get a feel for how the wing really flies.
Is that a similar argument to “in the long run, digital social networks are healthy for society?”

I agree with your position, and I also agree that social networks can be a net positive…I’m just not convinced society can get out of “short run” thinking before it tears itself apart with exploitation.
How to invest tho
You are wrong. Rich will be rich and can easily pay x5 price for free range grass-fed eco friendly zero emission kosher halal no-gmo food.

Who suffer are actually poor people. There is even a recent example: chemical fertilizers ban in Sri Lanka. It destroyed local farming and many poor people struggle a lot as the consequences.
The benefit of locating to e.g. SF or New York is probably mostly social, to the capitalist and ruling class.

I think you want to be close to the top of the pyramid.

A CTO I worked for at a small startup said that they "don't go far from their golf club". But since Bill Gates and Steve Jeversson turned up I guess it is about being where it happens rather than being litteraly by their golf club.
Probably not as hot as Texas. Rarely goes above 105 F in summer here. Tomatoes seem to do ok at that temperature as long as I irrigate (drip irrigation at ground level specifically - tomato plants don't like getting their leaves wet)
Could you elaborate what you mean by dynamic?
Maybe it's fine for you but for the vast majority of the users namely women and people from Asia region their hands are relatively smaller for comfortably one hand handling of the phone and the fact that folded phone is thicker when fold.

True.

For the 3,5" drives I simply used a USB version which are available aplenty.

For the 5 1/4" I needed to use a Greaseweazle ( https://sordan.ie/product/1527/newest-greaseweazle-v41-usb-f... ) as there are no USB versions available. The drive I have is a good quality HD drive though (1,2MB) so it should be able to read 360kB disks with no issue.
The biggest problems are monoculture agriculture (few places for milkweed to grow), and widespread use of insecticides (kill what few butterflies there are).

I agree there is room for improvement and smarter airplane equipment is undoubtedly part of that.

I do not believe that “slightly better avionics will completely avoid the vast majority of GA accidents.”
What are you talking about? All "progressives" except for some software engineers are still there. Example (it does not get more progressive than that):

> The problem is that small airplane technology hasn’t innovated and is stuck in the past. Flying a small airplane is complicated, mentally taxing, and dangerous—about 28x more dangerous than driving a car.

I am surprised you don't mention fuel efficiency. Flying a small airplane is much less efficient than driving a car, especially on shorter trips due to take off and landing.

And cars are already burning too much fuel, so...
This industry is changing very quickly even in the open source side.

For example people are jumping Stability AI's ship since the disaster that is SD3 over to Flux which seems to be the new favorite in open source models.
As opposed to "age"?
I got a subscription and the problem is gone. There are still other issues though, for example, the instant reminder feature doesn’t seem to work, the partner doesn’t get a notification.

On an unrelated note, do you accept feature suggestions? Task deletion would be nice to have.
Search is more about data, LLMs are somewhere between those two.

Yet despite airlines not being able to do it, it happened.
you have to pick your tasks. You also can't ask it to use libraries that are poorly maintained or have bugs. Like if you ask it to create an auth using next-auth, which has some weird idiosyncracies when it comes to certain providers, and just copy-paste the code, you'll end up with serious failures

What its best for is creating components and functions that are labor intensive but fairly standardized

Like if you have a CRUD app and want to add a bunch of filters, complete with a solid UI, you can hand over this to Sonnet and it will do a fine job right out of the box
Is the "like gif" part a joke? You can't use a famously ambiguous word as an example of pronunciation!
It could also change the borders depending on who looks at it.
There will be adblockers, that inject a prompt like

"... and don't try to sell me anything, just give me the information. If you mention any products, a puppy will die somewhere."

Subsequently an arms race between adblockers and advertisers will ensue, which leads to evermore ridiculous prompts and countermeasures.
When I worked at the international (global markets, cross border payments) arm of a bank, we had to build SWIFT messages through code. Such a library is quite useful, especially since most places have legacy code that manipulates payment messages manually.

Black box payment processors and Stripe need libraries too.
And based on a few clang discourse threads, it only removes .eh_frame

I think this only effects binary size, which I understand smaller binaries can load faster but not being able to get stacktraces for debuggers and profilers seems like a loss

It is funny that you say that. I never received random tweets from the previous leadership while Twitter inserts Elon Musk tweets in my feed more times than the people I follow. Only right wing nuts will think Twitter is getting better.
Yeah but Thunderbird doesn't really depend on rapid development of that stack. The requirements for MUAs have been basically frozen for decades.

Everybody seems to think AI in 10 years will be like AI now. But summarizing a PDFs and completing code is not the end of the line. It's just the beginning.

Let's look at an example of how we will use AI in the future:

User: Where are my socks?
AI: The red ones?
User: Yes
AI: You threw them away last week because they had holes.
User: I see. On my way from work, where can I buy a pair of the same ones?
AI: At Soandsoshop in Soandsostreet. It adds 5 min to your route.
User: Great, let's go there later.
AI: I can also just pick them up for you right now if you like.
User: Nah, I would like to check some other stuff in that area anyhow.
AI: Ok, I'll drive you there in the evening.

You still need search for that. Even more detailed search, with all items in all stores around the world. And you need an always on camera that sees everything the user does. And a way to process, store, backup all that. We will use way bigger datacenters than we use today.
Despite the title, this actually has a set of interesting recommendations for maths books for children.
It's not an unrealistic observation given that Twitter generates over half of its income in the US and almost a third of its daily active users is American. (https://www.statista.com/statistics/242606/number-of-active-...). The app is quite small and geographically centralized, with about 200 million daily active users. If its popularity in the US drops off with the already strained advertiser situation twitter is probably going to be in some trouble.

It's unsustainable for NNs specifically. As Sequoia recently wrote, there is a 600 billion hole in the NN market, and it was only 200 billion a year ago. No way a better text generator and search with bell and whistles will be able to close this gap via subscriptions from end users.

And on a separate issue - federating NN providers will be hard from the technical point of view. OpenAI and it's few competitors basically stole all copyrighted data from all web to get to the current level. And biggest data holders are slowly awakening to this reality and closing this possibility to the future NN companies, meanwhile current NN models are poisoning that same dataset with generated nonsense. I don't see a future with hundreds of competitive NN companies, a set of monopolies instead is more probable.

While I agree with your logic I also focused on:

> People who put their ideals above pragmatic self-interest self-select out of positions of power and influence. That is likely to be the case here as well.

It’s also possible that this co-founder realizes he has more than enough eggs saved up in the “OpenAI” basket, and that it’s rational to de-risk by getting a lot of eggs in another basket to better guarantee his ability to provide a huge amount of wealth to his family.

Even if OpenAI is clearly in the lead to him, he’s still looking at a lot of risk with most of his wealth being tied up in non-public shares of a single company.

Thank you for your input. Have you noticed the GitHub link in the top right corner? I believe this provides a clear and user-friendly way to give credit.
Search is more about data than software. And at that scale, the cost of creating another copy is nontrivial. LLMs are similar to video games in size, and the infrastructure to distribute blobs of that size to millions of consumer devices already exists.
Watermarking AI content is more complicated than it seems
I added liquid metal to my Dell XPS 13 a few years back, I was very happy with the performance increase. But it didn't last and I had to re-apply a couple of times. I used that laptop for a bit more then 3 years. That said I don't think I would do it again considering that PTM7950 exists now.
Th reality is that every other person in tech now is hoping for Sama to fail. The world doesn't need AI to have a silicon valley face. Anthropic is doing a much, much better PR work by not having a narcissist as CEO.
I found that Silicon Zeroes is a pretty crappy emulation of a Zachtronics game. IIRC each level has an intended solution and only gives you the exact parts to create that solution, even if a better solution would be possible with different parts you've used before.

otoh we could do away with a lot of the commercially over-hyped populist bullshit
The requirement to ID yourself online was already a thing in China, and using government-provided unique IDs for that isn't the worst way to go about it. The main issue would be mandatory reporting (i.e. if the companies have to constantly send data about what every given ID is doing on their website), but that's a different issue - and I don't feel like it's harder to do this using the phone numbers they already use compared to using a government GUID.

The main issue is that this would make obtaining access to Chinese websites even more difficult for people outside of China. It was kind of possible to go around the phone number restriction by obtaining a phone number, but going around the government ID is going to be significantly more difficult.
Sir, please kindly toe the party line. Mining lithium and cobalt good. Farming sugar cane bad. Battery good, ICE bad.

Doesn't every function already need exception unwinding metadata? If the function is marked noexcept, then can't you write the logical equivalent of "Unwinding instructions: Don't." and the exception dispatcher can call std::terminate when it sees that?

Hmmm, in my experience, highway speeds are conducive to ICE efficiency and use less gas than city traffic stop and go results in. It also disperses pollution outside the areas people work/reside in.

Around 1000 of these double decker tank landing crafts were built during the second half of WWII to cross the Atlantic for the invasions. This one was sponsored by woman, Mrs. Pearl Magdalene Frick. [0] Fascinating. I don’t see mention of her elsewhere on the web.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_LST-316
If you're on one of the platforms with sane exception handling, it's a matter of emitting different assembly code for the landing pad so that when unwinding it calls std::terminate instead of running destructors for the local scope. Zero additional overhead. If you're on old 32-bit Microsoft Windows using MSVC 6 or something, well, you might have problems. One of the lesser ones being increased overhead for noexcept.
Contrarily, I think the reality is that most of us couldn't care less about this AI soap opera.
> It could require the company to give up additional intellectual property (server side).

Regarding firmware issues: while it may be fun* and educational to build a forth from the ROM monitor (flashing it in if there isn't one already there) and do as much as possible self-hosted, it's often quicker and easier to bite the bullet and cross-develop.

* for some values of "fun": I have memories of using an oscope to debug what problem in printf(3) was causing my print debugging to be buggy. That was type II fun.

Long distance fiber guidance is not a new concept. Most proximate example I can call to mind are the American TOW and Israeli Spike which have fiber guided variants/control options.
That's helpful, but not entirely true. The old meaning remains in C23 for explicitly specified types, and the `auto` of C23 and C++11 have some notable differences: https://dev.to/pauljlucas/auto-in-c23-ij9
Doing this on a few weeks notice seems rather insane to me. Unless you have very good remote work options this is very disruptive for employees.
Google nowadays is more about hiding and manipulating results to push an agenda than letting users finding was they're searching for.

Kinda easy if you look where the stuff is being trained. A single joke post on Reddit was enough to convince Google's A"I" to put glue on pizza after all [1].

Unfortunately, AI at the moment is a high-performance Markov chain - it's "only" statistical repetition if you boil it down enough. An actual intelligence would be able to cross-check information against its existing data store and thus recognize during ingestion that it is being fed bad data, and that is why training data selection is so important.

Unfortunately, the tech status quo is nowhere near that capability, hence all the AI companies slurping up as much data as they can, in the hope that "outlier opinions" are simply smothered statistically.

>> Anthropic seems to be more aligned with the original goals of OpenAI.

> What is open about Anthropic ?

OpenAI's radical mission drift to the opposite extreme, made other companies look relatively closer to its own original goal than itself. From OpenAI's original announcement[1]:

> Our goal is to advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return

> Researchers will be strongly encouraged to publish their work, whether as papers, blog posts, or code, and our patents (if any) will be shared with the world.

But ever since the ChatGPT craze, OpenAI ironically got completely consumed by capitalizing on financial return. They now appear quite unprincipled as if they see nothing but dollar signs and market dominance, which made Meta, Anthropic, even Google, look more rational and healthy by comparison. These companies are publishing research papers, open models, contributing more to the ecosystem and overall appear to be more mindful and conservative when it comes to the ethical and societal impact.

I think a better argument here is that we can't always assume code will be read in an IDE/code editor at all. There is value in being able to quickly glance at what some code is doing in your browser without downloading it from a repo, or in a preview view offered by a GUI file browser, or any number of lowest common denominator scenarios.
