Does also feel weird to optimize around a text symbol over a logo that can have deliberate design or iteration.
Maybe NASA still wants to get something for the money spent launching Crew 9 and get some science done, not just be a rescue mission. They don't want to cut that mission short.
> Solana is centralized.

The Solana website itself says its decentralized on the frontpage.

from what I can see, the main difference is that solana is proof of steak the way etheream is going. while there is certainly a place for bitcoin's pow consensus, the electricity costs alone preclude it from being a serious contender to visa.
IMHO the harm is more likely from lids that are reused to cover food. If these lids are not routinely dishwashed like other utensils are, then by extension, they are likely to harbor bacteria and maybe even risk passing some into food. These lids are a lot closer to the food than the walls of the microwave. Indeed this could make people sick even if the microwave itself doesn't. Dishwashing the lid is paramount.
I think that place was at the forefront maybe 10-15 years ago and by now it's more a new generation of imitators/cargo-culters of that original vibe, which is not so appropriate to where the discourse has gone today.

Where's the equivalent place of today? The answer is necessarily murky and elusive. When a club gets famous for being the place where all the cool people hang out, it quickly ceases to be that kind of place. Cool places have to filter for the ability/connections to find them.
How did you get that from what I said? JSON isn't included in Rust binaries because of its ability to bring in only what's needed, and my ability as a developer to specify that as a fine-gained level at compilation time.

Using a language where you don't bring things in as needed means they're built-in at the interpreter level or some other scheme like a large required standard library.

Maybe in those languages your compiler is smart enough to filter out unused code, maybe you don't even have a compiler and you have to distribute your code with an interpreter or a virtual machine with all the batteries. Either way, languages where libs are brought in as-needed are at an advantage when it comes to compiler tech to generate such binaries.
There are still some, even many, people there that are doing their jobs as well as they can at the expense of bad executive decisions. I’m sure morale there is not great. I don’t feel bad for the executives at all, or the company really, but there are likely some great people that are just getting kicked around based on the crisis of the week.
Why would this not be incredibly easy to get away with. Identify those in the target demographic by race, area, and value of car.

They will reconfigure Crew 8 for six occupants for emergency evacuation.
Boeing will probably sue the manufacturer of the failed RCS thrusters in the next year.
Is the reddit experience that much worse without an account?

I only browse old.reddit logged out and log in if I want to to comment before logging out by deleting my cookies. I started doing this after seeing the first "year in review" thing they sent to my account, which creeped me out. Especially not being able to disable this type of data collection, on either of the two sites.

I may be having an easier time of it by using RES though.
>“between 2013 and 2019, Boeing spent 43 billion dollars on stock buybacks (a hundred and four per cent of its profits) rather than spending resources to address design flaws in some of its popular jet models,”

I don’t understand this at all. “Someone who assists in the interstices” doesn’t sound like anyone I’ve seen or worked with.

Can anyone give examples of what kind of employee/role he’s talking about?
> That's just a way to introduce bloat.

I don't think "bloat" is the issue; as I'm sure you know, Rust programs only contain code for the features of the stdlib they use; if it had JSON support and it wasn't used, the linker would omit that code from the final binary. (Granted, that would make the linker work a little harder.)

More at issue is maintenance burden. Data formats come and go over time. In 10 or 20 years when JSON has faded to XML's level of relevance, the Rust stdlib team shouldn't have to continue maintaining a JSON parser.
Zuckerberg really is grasping at straws now. Failed projects:

GPT-4o-mini changed ChatBotArena
NASA Decides to Bring Starliner Spacecraft Back to Earth Without Crew
Thank you!
We use GPT-4o to generate database schema creation scripts for different database dialects.
Basically, we wanted to add the option to export the db schema to any type of database (for easy Migration for example from MySQL to PostgreSQL or from SQLite to MariaDB). First, we tried to implement that logic, after getting into trouble with too many different edge cases and dialect differences between different databases we decided to leverage AI in order to achieve that.
I'm sorry, this guy's done enough damage by acting irresponsibly and now he's blaming his actions on mushroom use - potentially undoing all of the progress made in recent years towards reducing the stigma for people who use mushrooms responsibly.

It's a very unfortunate situation accross the board, but somehow, this person is making it worse. Back into the closet... again.
Yes!
You’re looking for DurationFormat https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe... which will work with Temporal types
FWIW: I've had your comment at the back of my mind for the past 5 days, and I haven't yet come up with any clever way to work around it. I think you're simply right: to "fix" this in "new code" would break ABI for anyone who passed e.g. `vector<unordered_set<T>>` across an ABI boundary. (I.e., anywhere that "new code" might construct an unordered_set object according to the "new ABI," which object might later be destroyed by "old code" which assumed the "old ABI," leading to heap corruption.)

So yeah, it is probably physically impossible for libstdc++ to "get on the ball" in the way I'd hoped. Darn.
I think much of that 'daunt' comes from the lack of instructional resources needed to support a solo journey through higher math. Yes, there are some great illuminating sources (like Kahn Academy and 3blue1brown), but if you're embarking on an epic quest (like recapping a BA in math), the essential guidance needed for coherent and graceful passage through all the requisite concepts simply does not exist -- short of reading 20 HS and college textbooks, which will subject you to a maddening amount of redundancy while leaving many fundamental concepts underexplained.

The day that large language models can capably tutor me through the many twisted turns of higher math -- that's when I'll believe that deep AI has achieved something truly useful.

yeah and that's why you wrote out "twitter" instead of using some creative sequence of unicode characters to describe a blue bird visually in your post implying that people tend to do so.
Yes, but it's not guaranteed to be self-contained. I wouldn't want to open a random HTML file knowing that it could phone home, or that the content might break one day without me realizing. There's a practical and psychological aspect to sharing `steves_paper_2014.html` versus `steves_paper_2014.offlinesitebundle`. The latter feels safe and immutable.
Zinsser’s book is great. I’d also recommend Stephen King’s ‘On Writing: A memoir of the craft’. A shorter, easier read, shares a lot of topics.

Completely agree with you, not only are they for profit but they’ve gotten a lot of help from Uncle Sam along the way too!
It’s stage 3, and they offer production-ready polyfills. For a project I work on, that’s a reasonable enough approximation of “ready”. Your project needs may vary. But it should be stable enough to use now with a userland implementation if the API is what you’re after.
I was about to offer them my condolences for the downgrade :P
When an LLM generates code, you don’t want it to generate author names! Maybe that’s the real reason it has to go in the training data?

Describing living authors accurately is sensitive enough that I think it’s going to require human oversight via Wikipedia. Justine has a Wikipedia page, but it could use some expansion on the software side. A project to improve Wikipedia by crediting authors of notable software might be useful? And LLM’s will pick it up from there.
So they don't have an evacuation option right now? I assumed the problem was the spacesuits are not compatible with SpaceX requirements?

Im interested in building a [many things] with Instant.

The climbing idea for example from the other thread...

But I need to formulate my use case more clearly.

I am super interested in the "iterating" you did with AJ at Subset.so -- as thats a neato thing.

My climbing idea was predicated on an idea of forking an AppID (like from your demos) whereby if I can have a class of an app that is forkable -- then others can have the same copy of my app, but they could be linked...

Actually imma reach out to you guys because I (in typing this) just formulated what I want to build with this :-)

Ill need some iterating hand-holding like subset has. :-)

HN is so amazing.

I don't think anyone is feeling bad for Boeing's executives.

But can feel sorry for the rest of the organization and the subcontractors. Blameless parties are going to suffer a lot of collateral damage.
Thanks for the link, I've been using Rectangle for ~3 months and have liked it, but the autosize feature in AeroSpace seems really nice.
Boeing is made up of a lot of people, some who have done their absolute best. They don't deserve the failure that their leadership caused. I feel bad for Boeing employees, but I don't feel bad for their management.
Are you able to self host what you generate or export it to other web hosting sites? Or is everything created hosted on your end?
> gold, nickel, and / or iron that's supposedly worth many times more than the entire global economy

You hear these statements sometimes about asteroid mining, and they betray a misunderstanding of the way economies work. The reason gold/etc. is expensive is because it is scarce. If we suddenly have an abundance of these materials, then they will be cheap. The intrinsic value of these metals is not worth multiples of the global economy.
If I was certain that I would find them when I went back to look for them I would do it. It’s worth the time, but if the chance of finding them is only like 50% not worth the time, new one’s are probably better and have better battery life anyway. sour grapes perhaps yes
That one made me laugh.

Dishwasher detergent is probably the harshest chemical cocktails in most homes. Small consumer appliances are built to the cheapest minimum standard. Creating a risk of a fire and peacocking about how smart one is great material.

Ask HN: State of AI replacing complex business applications
Are there good resources describing the current and near-term future state of AI use in real-life business settings replacing complex applications (think of a chat gpt style software that creates car parts designs that care error free and can be used for manufacturing or complex legal documents)?
I see many business leaders stalling traditional digital transformation projects (improve UX, improve data architecture, replace old software etc) saying that AI ‘will soon solve everything’.
Thank you
I think wealth might be more correlated, as it can be estimated without testing based on tax data. It's also a heavy predictor of many, many things, with scientific validation. Including IQ test scores.
The evacuation option right now is Starliner
This is an extension on top of all existing SQL. The pipe functions more or less as a unix pipe. There is no reordering, but the user selects the order. The core syntax is simply:

query | operator

Which results in a new query that can be piped again. So e.g. this would be valid too:

SELECT id,a,b FROM table WHERE id>1
|WHERE id < 10

Personally, I can see this fix so much SQL pain.
As an educator, this is the thing I always say. If you try to teach someone programming for example, try to make a honest list of all required prior knowledge. This is usually stuff that is totally obvious to anybody in the field, but if you don't know it it might give you a hard time. E.g. that programs run within the context of an operating system and the OS provides interfaces for interaction with hardware.

Not all of that is needed upfront, but certain explanations just won't make any sense if required knowledge is missing.
I think they meant they feel bad for the people actually doing work, not the people strategizing around wringing out the company for short-term profits so they can move on and do it again someplace else. At least I really hope that’s what they meant. You never know on HN.
a better bank would have been Wells Fargo. Chase and JPM are not in the same category they are profit machines with great balance sheets. that's why they swooped in last year during the bank crisis and took over some banks.
Striking Is in the Air at Boeing
Embarrassing, NASA has been downplaying the seriousness of this for months.

Boeing is cooked. SLS should be scrapped. There has got to be consequences for over spending, under delivering, and outright failing.
It's not the pipes underground that you worry about, it's the ones in your walls. You don't really have the option of draining the water if you happen to be on a short vacation at the time. If it's overnight, you get to stay up all night wondering if you should do it or hold out hope that the power will come back on soon, since pipes in exterior walls (typically for the kitchen sink) don't have nearly as much insulation around them as do the rest of the house.

Not entirely, depending on what you want from those endpoints. A lot of the information and features of new reddit are not accessible through those json endpoints as they never have been updated. They also have a much lower ratelimit restriction when logged out.

Also, they are part of the API much of which is actually restricted behind authorization.
If the CompuGlobalHyperMegaNet corporation I work at is anything like Microsoft, employees are given too much different work that causes needless mental context switching while you go off and do something else while waiting for PRs to be reviewed over weeks because the reviewers are also doing too much different things.
Or maybe that’s just the way it works for the massive tech company I work at, but I see things taking a long time to get done for, presumably, the above reason, among many other process and people related reasons. I see lots of fluff around me, not that I claim to be a bastion of sanity in any sense.
Oh no, that's absolutely needed, because yes, we can develop with git sending patches via and ML, IF people know your project exists. That's why we need usenet where we can have a freshmeat.net and co equivalents to makes new projects visible. This very visibility is the reason why GH and co are popular, because devs attract others devs who casually found their project, and Usenet have a proven history of making knowledge travel fast.

About people knowing how to develop with an ML and patchsets, the issue it's not much in people but in the substantial absence of modern MUAs though ALSO for this simple automation. I use notmuch-emacs, but I can't propose it to most others simply because deciding to keep maildirs on their own homeservers, most do not even have, muchsync-ing against it, maybe also adding a web-MUA and a dovecot to serve the mails on the go also on mobile, ... it's simply way too much work.

That's why again we need NixOS/Guix System to simply say "hey, import this code, change few parameters and there you go your homeserver FULL setup with anything, just choose other modules to discover the FLOSS world.

This damn need usenet to allow newcomers discovering what we have, learning how to use, and learning a model almost all have never known or forgot for some crappy colorful WebUI/walled garden.

We do not need copies of the big tech stuff, we need to show better stuff from a model where big tech can't even exists economically. That's the FLOSS superiority and strength no company can dream to match if it's done on scale.

I'm guessing if the ISS was no longer able to sustain life support, Starliner would be used. Guaranteed loss of life by staying on ISS or having an unknown <100% chance of surviving using Starliner, of course it will be chanced.

I'm not really sure what point your question is attempting to get at
Treating Boeing as a single entity is absurd. The people there have done great work and their collective contributions to the people of the US and world at large is very much appreciated by many (including myself).

It is a tragedy that what was even greater has been so badly diminished by the greed and incompetence of a few. Hating what’s happened to Boeing (and perhaps those responsible for it) is very different than hating Boeing.
What a massive embarrassment for NASA and Boeing. Boeing name used to mean something, now it’s joined the rest of the junk in this modern world.

If you're wondering why home alarms have to be so loud, it's because they’re designed to grab attention quickly.
Except this "problem" has already been resolved (in the US) at a legal level; Look up your states stance on one-party vs. two-party consent for recording private conversations.

The majority (39/50) of states only require the consent of a single party to record a conversation. If you want to take issue with other people recording conversations they have with you, that is something you should take up with your state's legislature.
Halliburton shuts down systems after cyberattack
NASA failed to communicate the seriousness of the issue from the beginning. Their press conference mentioned all the work they've been doing for MONTHS. Who knew? Everyone thought things were 'fine'. Huge huge huge failure by NASA here. They can't be trusted.

Starliner is the evacuation option right now. It's a risky one, but until Crew-8 is reconfigured their only option.
No, that NASA article is mostly fluff. The original link to the ongoing press conference and Eric Berger's summary of it (https://x.com/SciGuySpace) are better.
It provides answers to your questions about the document.
For Positioning Systems that are Global, anyway.
Their reference numbered [1] is a more recent book from 2020.

In this book it is said even if EUV mirrors have typically very poor reflectance at high incidence angles, it has become possible to make mirrors with a 60% to 70% reflectance even for high incidence angles (without specifying how high).

They have computed their power advantage using the 65% value which is a middle value between those from the book, so it is OK.

However they have used the same value for the ASML mirrors, which use low incidence angles, so they may have a higher reflectance.

So according to the book, their system should be feasible nowadays, but the actual improvement in light losses is unknown, because the losses in each mirror depend heavily on both the mirror construction and the light incidence angle, which are not taken into consideration in the paper.
so do they just use the starliner to dispose of trash and burn up in earth orbit? Or will they put boilerplate in it and test re-entry anyways?
I use tape, or bluetack. Bluetack is easiest for the external connectors, but a wodge of tape, properly manipulated, can get the internal ones. Can be a bit of a pain, but it's never not worked.
>> You're already familiar with most of them

> In what way? Their prestige?

In the sense that I've read most of their papers, I've even reviewed several of them.

I've literally just handed in a report for an expert committee to hire a new faculty member, and I had read papers from all applicants that were relevant and reviewed for more than half of them.

>> I've served on several program committees

> Then maybe stop complaining and start critiquing.

I'm not complaining about anything. I just tried to lay out my point of view.

And yes, I'm aware of the painful measures that citations and impact factors are, but, like any other HN reader, I'm aware of Goodhart's law.

My point is that we're (I'm) not using citations or publication points to rank researchers. We know them.
