That already exists: GBAS is the aviation equivalent to RTK. It provides integrity monitoring and differential signals via VHF. It's better than WAAS, since it's ground-based, and accordingly significantly harder to drown out in a large area.

But neither WAAS nor GBAS are authenticated, so are ultimately both are spoofable.
The key point is "If ... the registry is available", and the dependencies contained therein. We take on risk by relying on NPM to always be there and always provide us the dependencies we have already invested in. I'm arguing that organisations should take a more defensive stance against dependencies becoming unavailable. If you depend on it, keep a copy of it somewhere that you control.

> You're saying that an LLM is not intelligent because it is very general, vague, unfocused, and/or inactive?

No, I'm saying that because it's a word guesser. It is a mind-bendingly complex word guesser that takes a weighted average of how likely the next word is to appear in billions of documents that it was shown, and it picks one of the more likely ones. That's literally all it does. Complicated? Yes. Complex? Absolutely. Intelligent? No.
Tesla is paying people to wear motion-capture suits to train its Optimus robot
Looking at the paper, page 564 [0] has the component graph. Looks like the key contributors are (in order of contribution):

- Work-Related Activities (~35 minutes more at home)

- Sleeping - Assumed at Home (~25 minutes more at home)

- Leisure - Not On Computer (~22 minutes more at home)

What I find interesting, is the key differences in total time spent. There seems to be generally more time spent sleeping actually (~25 more minutes), and that time comes from a decrease in socializing (-~15 minutes), and transportation (commuting, -~20 minutes).

Overall, less commuting and more sleep seems good, but a decrease in socialization is not great, a full 1 3/4 hours a week decrease.

I lost 1 ETH worth of crypto in scam. It was something on the lines of you invest your crypto, and they'd put it up on art assets that would increase in value and you'd get your returns back.

I got no returns when I wanted to take it out. Just fake UI showing it was going up when it wasn't.

It was a great reminder, that crypto is full of scam. It's not even a great asset to hedge against inflation as it's heavily speculated on. I took all my crypto out and went back to good ol stocks, bonds and gold.

Soooooooooooooo much crypto scam.
2 hours?! That is insane. I don’t understand why people put up with that.

You're right. I rushed and assumed. Thanks
It's worst actually, at least in France, if you inject to the grid you have to pay an "energy transport fee", even if you inject for free (only recently self-made systems are allowed to sell energy, before they can only donate or not inject at all) and the injected energy is now paid less than the cheapest price to the customers (6 cent/kWh for ground based p.v., 10 cent for on-roof p.v.). So well, we do not harm large utility business.

What harm on scale is the variable output especially from small p.v. utilities built out of incentives NOT personal power plants, the grid is sized with some large power plants serving a large set of customers, their absorption vary but if the grid is vast (and not too vast) enough variation tend to be slow on average, let's say 50MW PP experience 100-200kW demand variation in very short time. They can compensate easily keeping the grid frequency stable. With a significant amount of grid injecting p.v. variation might be MUCH bigger creating significant stability issues where injection goes up too quickly making the frequency skyrocketing and large PP can't decrease their output fast enough risking disconnection witch in turn might put large p.v. plants offline suddenly creating a cascading effect of large blackouts.

That's the real issue with grid-connected and tied renewables and another reason why we need to go toward self-consumption NOT injection.

Why go out if home is more comfortable?
that delightful "abyss" is really just noise. as in white/pink/blue noise.

Signals tend to sound "better" (richer harmonic content) when they have fuzz added. Convolution reverb is a great example of how mixing a noise sample into any source signal increases its apparent depth or richness.

Some saturators do the same thing.

Others distort the signal by boosting selected harmonics (making the waveform more square-like or more sawtooth-like for example, which is not the same as noise and has a different sound).

Clipping the signal by requesting amplitudes beyond the available range is another way to add "cruch" (noise) to a signal.

The actual implementation will vary per device but overall we like our sounds cut with a bit of noise.

I think that "static register" should make the compiler allowed to disregard calling conventions (if optimizations are enabled), but neither "static" nor "register" alone should do so. (In a discussion on an IRC some time ago, I had suggested what "register" alone should do in my opinion, which is something else than this.)
I don't believe there's any intrinsic value in diversity. I believe that there's truth in the argument that heterogeneity leads to lower group cohesion and solidarity. Personally I think that in business neither is it something desirable nor is it undesirable. As such, I'm against wasting resources and potentially hiring unsuitable candidates because some people believe it's morally correct.

I'm decidedly against equity for multiple reasons. First off it's impossible to achieve. If you think even just of your own extended family, what would it take to achieve equity in say income and status? Who deserves how much in order to achieve equal outcomes? Secondly, who gets to decide all these things? Who's disadvantaged and why and by how much? How much is their own doing? How far are you going to drill down? There's so much potential for abuse for whoever makes those decisions.

"Inclusion" I'm going to ignore because honestly suggesting someone is against it is mainly bait. The term seems to just be bunched in there with the other two, because it gives the acronym as a whole a stronger defense.
It’s almost as if what he says carries more weight due to his status and he should be more careful in what he says publicly, especially if it’s charged. He deserves the flogging he’s getting.

I was talking about Windows, given the context of TFA. You can also name threads in Windows. Especially in background applications, however, the initial main thread may not exist for the whole duration of the process (e.g. consider pthread_exit), so I’m not sure how practical that approach would be.

Ring Modulation adds a constant frequency above and below the source frequency, producing non-integer relationships between the input signal and the new signal.

That's why it sounds weird, because both of the new tones will almost never be harmonically related to the input signal.

This jibes with the way people compare SpaceX and "old space" development in industry sources I follow:

SpaceX works "hardware rich", building lots of prototypes early in the development process. When Boeing and ULA launch their first "production" launch, the previous test articles generally haven't been anywhere near complete.

>And most non-techies don't like the CP/AA experiences; they actually prefer the OEM interfaces, even though they're slower, because the OEM interfaces aren't constantly changing every few months.

Carplay/Android Auto does not change every few months either. In fact, I have used CarPlay in 20+ vehicles over the last decade, and I love the fact that I never have to learn a new interface, regardless of the car I am using.

What CarPlay/Android Auto do have is the most up to date traffic data and maps information at no extra charge or inconvenience, that synchronize with my searches on my laptop.
You could put an sql database on a local device and just access it remotely like anything else. But you are correct you're stuck with administering each and everyone one of them.

Put another way: it’s far too easy and common for certification to encourage rote memorization. And only rote memorization. No higher order reasoning is imparted.

Knowledge without reasoning is how you get mired in bureaucracy.
It's not useful to have a type implement Iterator for multiple element types. But in Rust, if Iterator took the element type as a generic parameter, it would be possible. The fact that it's not useful is precisely why Rust makes the element type an associated type instead.

The benefits of using an associated type (compared to using a generic parameter in Rust, not compared to Java) include clarity, possibly improving type inference, and avoiding issues with crate coherence by requiring that the Iterator impl live in the crate that defines the input type, rather than the one that defines the output type.
That’s my own take, not actual direct causation. But for example, I’ve experienced and witnessed time taken by endless scrolling design (I.e. TikTok) which could have been spent socially. Since I’ve take time away from such apps with patterns, I feel generally more content, but results may vary.
Sure thing! They're made of about 300 grams of polyethylene. Towards the end of their lifespan, we can steer them to an area that's easy for us to drive out and pick them up. The payload has a GPS, which lets us track where they are both in the sky and on the ground.

Right now, most weather balloons fall back to Earth and stay where they land unless someone happens across them (since they can't be controlled and only last a couple of hours).

How about letting engineers do what everyone else at the company does? Get together in teams, divide up the work, and check back later. You are asking for an alternative thing to mandate upon engineers from above -- something formal. I say, just let engineers manage themselves. No mandated process.

> SpaceX delivered. Eventually.

At half the cost, pretty much on time and without stranding a crew.

> Boeing will deliver. Eventually. They always do

With infinite time and resources anyone can.

As the OIG’s report spells out, Boeing’s mismanagement is material and unusual. It’s wild to ignore that to justify a false equivalence.

> Boeing provides a counterbalance to an Elon Musk controlled SpaceX

In the way a rubber duck counterbalances a battleship.

There is nothing Boeing is working on that challenges SpaceX launch monopoly. Starliner doesn’t challenge Dragon’s monopoly because it only has seven launches left in its lifecycle. (Again, I’m ignoring that it does not work.)

I’m not arguing we go all in on SpaceX. I’m saying we need a second space provider, and Boeing isn’t it. Continuing to bet on Boeing cements SpaceX’s lead.
NASA wouldn’t need to be fully vertical, but it would be wise to have as few nested contractor interfaces as possible. This would make it have more responsibilities in integration of components from multiple vendors, but at least they wouldn’t be shielded from issues and would be able to see them as soon as possible.

Another important thing is that their jobs should be protected from political interference, so that nobody feels compelled to not speak up.
Punishment is not the answer, you'll just drive out of the industry lots of competent people. Punishment also means that nobody will admit to mistakes, will not fix mistakes (because that implies guilt), and the covering up of mistakes.

Punishment for mistakes is what led to the Chernobyl disaster.
The overarching point I'm making is that the government seizing $2,000 in cash from you is not the same as seizing a $2,000 gun from you, because the $2,000 in cash isn't a potentially immediate threat to the public. Red flag laws are one of the very few pro-active tools for law enforcement.

I think any argument around guns that focuses on ideological thought experiments like self defense from a "violent government" is not worth exploring. Because then you're talking about how to organize an armed insurrection, not how to reduce mass shootings and domestic partner violence.

> Its also convenient for you to decide that others don't "need" to protect themselves from situations that they've deemed necessary.

And it's convenient for the craziest people in our society to have easy access to weapons and ammunition because of widespread paranoia about defending yourself from those people. Seems like the easy solution is to make access to weapons harder!

I go against the stream it seems, but even though I grew up gaming, I see it now as mostly wasted time. Any benefit that came with it is easily overshadowed with literally wasting the most precious thing we have - our time in this universe which could be spent having serious adventures (or anything else like finding/working on love and real friends(TM)).

I've gotten into various sports mostly done in mountains and some additional filler training like weightlifting and running, my quality of life and satisfaction from it skyrocketed. Obviously you get much more healthier, attractive and happier as side effect, but over time your mindset also changes a lot.

These days, displays in our home are kept to the minimum since content is mostly toxic and made as addictive as possible (as mentioned all over this thread). As time progresses we will gradually ease it off, but games will be last thing on a long list. There is not much skill to learn so they are not missing out, clicking all around can be done by infants.

It helps that we are surrounded by people where such approach is the norm and mark of good invested parenthood, and letting kids get addicted to various dark patterns online or in gaming is seen as on cca same level as being absent alcoholic parent or similar fail. Not that I don't see it often ie when traveling, kids glued to screen to me looks very sad while their parents often look like epitome of laziness. Physically and mentally weak, socially awkward, stuck in eternal dopamine kick chase, largely defenseless from sophisticated actors milking their parents credit cards.
Often there are two control paths. Sometimes more! Plenty of inverters will quite happily give you an RS232 port specification and you can create your own dongle!

However, for purpose of the security of the nation's power grid, I don't just need my inverter to be secure, I need pretty much everyone's inverter to be secure. If an attack bricks 95% of solar inverters, the fact the nerdiest 5% of users have their inverters airgapped won't stop the grid having a lot of problems.
Very cool! How are the balloons transferring telemetry back to earth for analysis, etc?

Asking because my research at the University of Oxford was around hyper space-efficient data transfer from remote locations for a fraction of the price.

The result was an award-winning technology (https://jsonbinpack.sourcemeta.com) to serialise plain JSON that was proven to be more space-efficient than every tested alternative (including Protocol Buffers, Apache Avro, ASN.1, etc) in every tested case (https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.12799).

1. Have a daily/thrice-in-a-week standup with your team for updates/blockers on the tickets that they are working on

2. Weekly/Once-in-two-weeks with your manager to update on the milestones and address any updates related to personal/professional yours or on behalf of your team.

3. TBH, it depends, if you are involved in working with cross-teams. If it's the start of the project, the recurring meetings with PMs and other stakeholders should be thrice a week to know the requirements and address any blockers from a high level and tech debts that need to be resolved as a pre-requisite to start the project.

4. There should be at least 2 documents, one the PRD (Product Requirements Document) and a technical doc (basically a technical PRD document), this can include the architecture design as well. The technical side should be handled by you (the TL) and part of your team (to lead sub-modules and upskill)

5. You need to prioritize the things and work on them accordingly

6. Having regular standups helps you know the same.
This is a great idea. I had no idea about the single-use radiosondes.
Congrats on the launch! Seeing this reminded me of building and launching a high-altitude weather balloon with some buddies back in high school - one of the coolest projects I've gotten to work on.
