Not to be a jerk, but you would be wrong. GPS spoofing is a growing problem in commercial aviation. So far it has not led to any fatalities, but it has led to a significant number of system malfunctions which degrade the safety features available to pilots.

One example that made the rounds on social media a few months back was a crew flying above 30,000 ft receiving "Terrain - Pull Up!" advisories. They ignored them, because there is no terrain on earth at 30k ft. If that had happened at a lower altitude, they would have likely had to do a terrain escape maneuver, which would definitely be felt by passengers, though it would likely not introduce a lot of additional safety risk.

The real risk comes when pilots begin to doubt that their safety systems are working correctly and thus ignore true warnings. Or when a bungled GPS leads pilots to fly into military airspace and get shot down.
Outside of the US, this is usually addressed by having a dedicated police unit residing at a station. Everything is pretty calm and civil after that. The fact that it's not the case in the US does not mean that it's inevitable to have such unsafe stations.
1. Download Godot: https://godotengine.org/download/windows/ (this project uses an addon for GUI that requires C# so you’ll need the C# version of Godot 4.3)

2. Clone the repository

3. Open Godot and import the project by navigating to the directory containing the project.godot file.

Then open the project and away you go.
50 years ago we could rather confidently say that "Superintelligence" was absolutely not happening next year, and was realistically decades ago. If we can say "it could be next year", then things have changed radically and we're clearly a lot closer - even if we still don't know how far we have to go.

A thousand years ago we hadn't invented electricity, democracy, or science. I really don't think we're a thousand years away from AI. If intelligence is really that hard to build, I'd take it as proof that someone else must have created us humans.
If you use arrays, you cannot use dash.
Static linking is the root cause for “modern” apps based on Electron taking minutes to start up and be useful. They’re statically linking almost an entire operating system (Chromium), an entire web server, server runtime framework, and an equivalent client framework for good measure.

On the fastest PC that money can buy this is somewhere between “slow” and “molasses”.

I miss the good old days when useful GUI programs were mere kilobytes in size and launched instantly.
This is great.
My one suggestion would be to include some one click way to jump to visualisations of a handful of examples.
Granted you've got placeholder text but a) users have to type that in both boxes to actually see it; b) it's just one example; c) often people will be curious to see a repo for their favoured tech, so a few would be handy and lastly d) people won't necessarily know the repo author name off by heart so a simple way to have people use it will get them trying this out much more effectively

Something like a short series of links that populates got a repo each would be ideal.

(I am not a cryptographer.)

None of the hashes available in webcrypto's digest() are suitable for storing passwords (eg it doesn't support argon2, scrypt, bcrypt, or PBKDF2). They are all SHA family hashes.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SubtleCrypt...

You can use PBKDF2 through the deriveKey() function. So you could use that to store passwords. However, this is the least preferred of the acceptable algorithms, and is only recommended for use in scenarios where you must follow a standard that mandates the use of PBKDF2.
Anyone answering this should be required to mention their age before sharing their half-baked theory.

I’m 41 and the reason for this is that people born in the mid-1970s to late-1980s are old enough and wealthy enough now to have nostalgia for that time period and the time to pursue that hobby.
The majority of Americans didn't fly anywhere last year and I'm not sure they would agree with your assessment. This is a case where more democracy — putting region airports on ballots — makes a lot of sense. If the majority of people vote for it, then by all means, subsidize it.

You missed 'merely'. The answer is: anything that involves delayed gratification.
> requires you to control the c library

Which is why basically every other same operating system does that. BSDs, macOS, WinNT. Having the stable boundary be the kernel system call interface is fucking insane. And somehow the Linux userspace people keep failing to learn this lesson, no matter how many times they get clobbered in the face by the consequences of not learning it.
Union Station in Chicago would be the obvious place to put Greyhound.

Greyhound will never go there for one reason: it has a bar that sells alcohol.

CTA also does not have a presence in Union Station for the same reason, so no subway/el or local bus presence.

Metra and Amtrak are alcohol-friendly, and I've seen people boarding Metra carrying open containers quite often.

"[My parents and I] were enthralled by the same music, but it showed us different things. I listened to Slash’s flamboyant, searching guitar solo on “November Rain” and heard liberation, a suggestion that crazed, committed vision could carry you away, somewhere else. To my parents, Slash’s greatness was evidence of virtuoso skill, the product of thousands of hours of study and practice."

> your implication that an agency being categorized as "civil" implies, even faintly, categorical legality is the false premise I was 'hinting' to dismantle

You missed the securities law qualifier. The IRS has valid opinions on tax law. Someone using IRS actions to find insight into e.g. the legality of military actions is probably misguided.

> the First Amendment prohibits the government from restricting independent expenditures for political campaigns by corporations, nonprofit organizations, labor unions, and other associations

Yes. Not the same as money = speech. Independent expenditures for political campaigns are protected political speech.

> You cannot begin to leverage that credit/debit flow without oversight, and you cannot claim that your currency is at all pegged to the USD

Sure. Because that’s, for practical purposes, using dollars. Nobody is debating the U.S.’s power to regulate dollars.

> or any other easily swappable/transferable commoditized store of value

What is a commoditised store of value to you? You can use your community currency or crypto to buy grain and gold, for example. Community currency can be used to buy silver trinkets.

> It isn't illegal, but it is, however, de facto, _not_ legal tender. It's not legal, but it's not illegal.

Not what legal tender means. Dollars aren’t legal tender in the EU. That doesn’t put them into some quasi-legal grey area.

The displays aren't that much special. Probably the main two things that are special about them are color rendition and contrast and the rest is just about the certification process. And extrapolating from automotive experience, the color rendition and contrast is about some team of engineers being solely dedicated to simulating various lightning conditions and verifying that the screen remains legible, does not interfere with night vision and does not cause reflections on other instruments that would make them hard to read. In automotive this kind of simulations use multiple terabytes of reflectivity data for various mostly “dull” materials (gigabytes upon gigabytes of data on what the driver might wear…), so extrapolate from that to “most advanced fighter aircraft”.

And Japan even has a much more normalized practice of knocking down a house and building a new one if you buy it. Europe is probably the outlier of routinely preserving residences through centuries--and I suspect it's not really that universal even there.

I've extensively modified and upgraded my house since I've bought it. Even so, I'm sure there are aspects (e.g. one small bathroom) that would give many buyers pause.
I see the two interlinked, similar to how modern day smartphones such as the iPhone with full web page support weren't called Web 2.0 devices, yet were integral in the proliferation and growth of Web 2.0 tech to what it is today. In the same vain, even if the highest end VR/AR device on the market isn't marketed with a "Metaverse" focus, it will be integral in whether such a thing succeeds or fails.

Okay, so some people are making money with it, but no true value was added, eh?
> content creators better cater to demand

That's actually the perfect description of why 'content creators' aren't called artists. They're not creative, they're regurgitative.

Society needs not faded, watered down, muted copies of originals. It needs more originals to inspire more creativity.

Originality is an art unto itself.

What you are right about, however, is the profit inherent in bland copies, which means there's a market out there consisting of dumb, easily satisfied cattle, to be milked by the lazily regurgitative bottom feeders that know only 'what's trending' and have said subscribe! more often than they've had hot meals. Those saviours of society.
> How would anyone know? Ballots are always secret

This is tangential, but in Sweden, voting was not secret until 2019:

Long-standing Swedish election policy of always displaying the ballot papers for voters to select in public, making it impossible for many voters to vote secretly, has been criticised as undemocratic and is arguably in blatant contravention of Protocol 1, Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights [..] In 2014 a German citizen, Christian Dworeck, reported this lack of secrecy in Swedish voting to the European Commission and from 2019 ballot papers are selected behind a screen.

> Removing the GIL sounds like it will make typical Python programs slower and will introduce a lot of complexity?

There is a lot of Python code that either explicitly (or implicitly) relies on the GIL for correctness in multithreaded programs.

I myself have even written such code, explicitly relying on the GIL as synchronization primitive.

Removing the GIL will break that code in subtle and difficult to track down ways.

The good news is that a large percentage of this code will stay running on older versions of python (2.7 even) and so will always have a GIL around.

Some of it however will end up running on no-GIL python and I don't envy the developers who will be tasked tracking down the bugs - but probably they will run on modern versions of python using --with-gil or whatever other flag is provided to enable the GIL.

The benefit to the rest of the world then is that future programs will be able to take advantage of multiple cores with shared memory, without needing to jump through the hoops of multi-process Python.

Python has been feeling the pain of the GIL in this area for many years already, and removing the GIL will make Python more viable for a whole host of applications.
It’s entirely opt-in, Apple doesn’t force it. If you just do `cc mything.c -o mything` you get a binary whose minimum required OS is the version of the SDK you built it against, just as with any other UNIX-like OS. It’s just giving the developer the option to build something they know will run on an earlier version too.

And since it was all initially done with the preprocessor rather than adding knowledge to the compilers, there’s no reason individual libraries can’t handle API versioning in exactly this way, including things like differing `ino_t` and `off_t` sizes.
Yes, but also airlines will completely fail without government support. The only aspect of aviation that is private is the buying a ticket and purchasing and operating planes, creating a thin fiction of a free market. Everything else is supported. The airports, the airline manufacturers (that also make expensive weapon systems via govt. contracts), the fuel system (supported by endless diplomacy, monetary policy, and war), radar and satellite networks, subsidies when revenue can't support operations.... it goes on and on.

The airlines are critical to a big country like the US when our passenger rail networks are so slow, so the government supports it. They should also support bus networks etc. I suspect much of their road policy is designed to support Americans buying cars, the second biggest purchase next to a house that most people buy. It's very cynical.
The revolution in high-throughput proteomics and AI
I would expect someone like Supplyframe to cook a custom model for that purpose. I think I remember them mentioning something about using ML to clean up old badly scanned/faxed datasheets a long time ago.
With pyenv it's built from source. That's pretty seamless if you have the build dependencies installed. With rye and uv you get the prebuilt portable versions from indygreg. Those have some significant deviations from what you get with a system package or pyenv built version, so there can be some caveats.
My perspective mostly comes from the fact that universities will claim parents from research. For something like an AI model, I guess it could go either way.

Personally, I am all in favor of increasing commercialisation of academic research, if and only if the money earned goes first and foremost to reducing tuition for students.

Alas, tuition seems to ever inflate upwards. I remember when my university built a football stadium- all sorts of talking points were floated about, like how the sports programs pay for themselves, it's good for recruiting, we wouldn't get increased tuition, blah blah blah. Well, once construction finished, guess what? Students got a $400 stadium "fee" added onto enrollment each semester. Sure, it wasn't technically part of tuition, but it also wasn't optional.

That alone pretty much guaranteed that I ignored every attempt from the alumni association that came begging for donations after I graduated. They run a well oiled machine, and yet somehow no matter how much money the school had, students kept paying more each year.

So, yeah, I do know many (most?) research schools have commercializing offices dedicated to making money off of their research, and they have every incentive to keep doing so, whether via parents or keeping things secret to commercial partners. They just don't do anything publicly visible with the money.

The dash shell is supposedly four times faster than bash, and dramatically reduced Ubuntu's boot time.

The [[ test syntax is not implemented in dash. It is listed as a future reserved word in the POSIX shell standard, but is not (yet?) specified.

And yet it would still work out for Linux if musl, glibc, et al just adopted `API_VERSION_MIN` and `API_VERSION_MAX` macros themselves, it doesn’t actually have to be handled entirely at the `-isysroot` level.
Yeah. My compass (a Ritchie) has two axis calibration at the bottom; I ended up maxing out one of the axes (so it's still a bit off). Also, it tends to shift by a decent amount when the car is pointing up or down steep hills.
It's never too late to get started! Also, if you're keen to try M8 before investing, you can make a "headless" M8 from a $30 teensy board, but you have to use it via a web emulator. If that sounds intimidating in any way, it's really not - there's no enclosure, no soldering, and no real configuration other than just flashing the teensy with a GUI app.

https://github.com/DirtyWave/M8Docs/blob/main/docs/M8Headles...

I've been using M8 for ~4 years now, it's an amazing and fun way to make music, and I think it gels for a lot of people who aren't traditionally trained in music.
The problem with that idea is that the human body exists via evolutionary fitness for gravitational stress.

Imagine a mechanical arm whose purpose is to put constant hydraulic pressure against a platform that is putting pressure towards the arm. Now imagine what happens when you take away the platform - the arm would likely damage itself unless specifically designed to handle the lack of pressure.
I think regional airports are great, but I don’t think they can meaningfully compete with intercity coaches. It will never be financially viable to price a commercial flight on a small aircraft at the sub $30 point. I also don’t think the interchange network can possibly have the same level of coverage.

It needs to be possible for people to use public transport to get around, including between smaller destinations, otherwise you’re just completely abandoning the population who can’t drive.
What a stupid comment. How much is spent on defense affects exactly nothing to the question of how much work can be done with 25bn

Now the common code base of upstream OpenZFS is the FreeBSD/ Linux code. Things have changed a lot with OpenZFS 2.0 AFAIK.

Yeah, server vendors are a bit crazy with small jet engine fans. A 4U chassis could easily house 80, 92 or even 120 mm fans which could spin much slower with a much higher air flow. That would of course also be much more efficient.
There is a reason why republican government is more effective than a pure democracy.

We have plenty of examples of populist idiocy. Many folks never fly - I’ve actually only ridden an airplane 8 times. But the overall benefit to society is compelling and beneficial to society.

Sports stadiums can be similar, but modern clubs want facilities who luxury features exceeds what the government should provide.
Consider that there are other hosting providers out there giving back to the community and he's not going after them. Reciprocity seems to be an issue along with proprietary jank that screws interoperability. Say what you want, but I'd question investing in anything that's built on a foundation that relies on reciprocity that doesn't put in their share. Healthy relationships involve creating more value than you capture. That's something that should resonate with the thickest of fountainheads. And if it doesn't, you can always turn off the tap, which seems to be the case.
Does any database actually use time_t? PostgreSQL uses its own datatype, the number of microseconds since 4713 BC. I am sure that other databases do the same.

A typical textbook gives me around an 11x17 display area with better than retina resolution and a refresh limited only by the speed of my optic nerve.

That’s about the usable area of a 27” monitor after all the UI trash has taken its share of space.

And of course, it leaves my monitor free for practicing whatever it is I’m trying to learn from the book. Alt tabbing is a terrible experience comparatively. Glancing at the text takes the time of a saccade and uses visual memory, leaving my short term memory free for concepts and working memory.

Obviously get a good book holder that you can stand next to your monitor(s).
> I don't think anybody actually wants free software without any compromise to be impractical

This is not what I meant when I said "by design". I meant that in today's world, striving for the true, pure freedom is very much expected to be impractical, so do not be surprised that the FSF-endorsed distros are unusable. Nobody wants that but it's expected. This however serves as a goal, so not completely useless. I guess we agree.
