Usually, when the RAT is really deployed because of an emergency, the jet engines will be a lot more silent (because they're not producing any power). Although I'm not really sure how loud a windmilling jet engine really is, and I somehow doubt there is a YouTube video of a plane landing with both engines disabled - but you never know...

"Tesla has basically been the only domestic automaker taking risks and aggressively pursuing manufacturing efficiencies."

Sometimes too aggressive which may come back and hunt them.

For example, multiple companies are doing full body casting but Tesla moved very fast and ended up selling cars that now have cracks in them. There is a reason it took others longer time to introduce this in their factories...

If Mozilla released a separate passwords app so you could manage and access your passwords outside of Firefox I think the two would be more comparable. That would promote your passwords as part of your Mozilla account, not just Firefox.

Bitwarden excels here, and i think is the model to beat. However, Mozilla would have the advantage since their browser integration would essentially be built-in and first class.

Otherwise, unless you use Firefox exclusively for everything I just don't think a single browser is the right place to manage passwords. I would say that's true even for a broad audience, given the importance of passwords and security in the modern age.

Bitwarden is also nice in that you can "lock" access to your passwords while keeping the browser open. That way, for the 99% of the time you're just browsing the internet you essentially don't have access to all your passwords "open". The last time I looked at this I had to enter my master password on opening Firefox, even if I didn't need access to my passwords. That meant that "unlocking your vault" is essentially tied to opening the browser. That alone was enough for me to bail on it.
This is a great article and shows why its so hard to program in C++. When you do not deeply understand the reasons why those examples behave as they do, your code is potentially dangerous.

Later findings corroborate his measurements to within a fraction of a centimeter.

The main point of criticism was that the ornate and well-kept tombs he investigated belonged to the upper classes, so might not have been representative of society at large. Too tall on average, perhaps.

In any case, there's nothing to suggest that hoplites were substantially taller than that stated average ~162cm.

Ask HN: Migrate from Hasura in Production Fast?
Hi all, I'm in a bit of a bind. I have a production system using Hasura, that suddenly has gone down.

All requests to my hasura cloud instance are failing. I can't even hit the /healthz endpoint.

Support is saying this is an issue on my end, not theirs. It obviously isn't since I get no response from any of the endpoints using Postman/Insomnia.

So how can I migrate really quick?

For what it's worth, as a primarily backend dev having ~recently started getting more deeply into frontend web, I have specifically noted in my head that the box model isn't too intuitive and in my inexperienced opinion, the default was a bad one. I figured surely if it is the way it is, then it's for reasons I do not yet comprehend™, so it actually feels pretty validating that someone who knows what they're talking about agrees.
Hypothetically speaking, would supporting an entity that attacked an US Navy ship, directly resulting in death of US navy servicemen, constitute as such?
I tried it yesterday after a commenter on HN mentioned it, I'm not a front end dev but I still hate how slow and seemingly fragile webpack is.

Hi there,

first of all, commendable effort!

On the one hand, I'd love, love, loooove to see something like that as reducing the cognitive load of managing email is one of the biggest improvements my digital life could see.

On the other hand, there are so many unhandled security risks in the scenario "email + LLM" that I wouldn't even trust official integrations to be perfect.

See a short demo from BlackHat Conf here how a single email can essentially "break" Microsoft 365 Copilot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr1tTJk32uk

Show HN: SpanishDict Shortcuts (Chrome Extension)
Hey Hacker News,

some of you might be familiar with spanishdict.com - a fantastic website to learn Spanish for free. As a regular user of the site, I was missing some features that would elevate the learning experience to the next level.

So I developed SpanishDict Shortcuts, a small Chrome browser extension that makes learning on spanishdict.com more customized to your learning workflow.

It contains features like keyboard shortcuts to toggle subtitles on grammar videos so that you can practice your listening comprehension for example.
Or editing the navigation bar to show the most relevant links to you.
As well as changing the replay speed of videos, replaying a video on shortcut and many more quality of life features.

Looking forward to your feedback!

P.S.: The extension can be installed but is only available via link for now. This is because I want to test it before making it public.

I'm not sure you're right. Isn't this a bit hard to judge without first deciding what is true and what constitutes bias? I'm fairly certain we don't agree with on either of these.

Most Israelis consider things like the BBC and the NYT to be biased against Israel. Are you sure they're wrong?

However the earlier predictions about which will be the energy where the resonance will be observed had been wrong.

The predictions have been revised a few times upwards after not finding a resonance at the predicted lower energies, then they have been proven wrong again and the cycle has been repeated until the actual discovery.

Right. In the context of this discussion ETOPS buys you significantly increased inspection and maintenance requirements. That's why I don't playing this game of telephone. Someone told someone else that something else did something else. Were everything to have unfolded as transcribed here there almost certainly would've been a high profile investigation.

Back to your flight, both the FAA and EASA require airliners to have a minimum equipment list (MEL). It's entirely unrelated to ETOPS (overwater flights). This list describes what equipment is required to be functional, what you can fly without and when. What's on the list is all going to come down to what kind of plane we're talking about. Could be you're not allowed to fly without a functional RAT ever. Could be that you can fly without a RAT as long as something else (e.g. APU) is functional. Could be you can only make a certain number of flights with a non-op RAT.

A real world example is that ATR 72 crash in Brazil recently. One of the PACKs (air conditioning / cabin pressurization) was not functioning on the accident plane. Per the MEL you can dispatch an ATR in that condition, but you're limited to a service ceiling of 17,000 ft. Unfortunately that put the flight in direct conflict with the weather.

Where I live there are multiple allotments within walking distance from me. These are basically enclosed gardens where people can rent small plots to grow vegetables on. It is a nice hobby. You are outside a lot, have a nice comunal feel to it, you get produce you can feel proud of. But it is not really going to replace grocery stores for anyone. (Nor is it meant to.)

I can imagine scenairos where skills obtained from it would help resiliency and survival. But i can also imagine lot of other scenairos where other hobbies would do the same. Why is it growing small scale vegetable gardens is the skill to concentrate on?

I think that the Firefox password manager is good, however, relying on the browser is a terrible form of vendor lock-in. You need to use another browser (for any reason), you also need to switch password manager. Also, Firefox on Android is not great, and Bitwarden has a better integration.

Finally, Bitwarden (the payed version) manager also passkeys and OTP codes, the Firefox password manager not.
you can use the official API for that, right? without having to pay ChatGPT and click pixels.
Cattle meat is by far one of the most energy dense sources of nutrition, and if done right societally, one of the most efficient too. The issue is that the US (and most of the developing world) does it wrong by adopting factory farming to mass produce meat and destroy ecosystems within a few decades.

If you're eating cattle/red meat, do it right - buy fresh, don't touch frozen and always go for grassfed. That itself makes it much safer than eating chicken (which is more likely to be factory-farmed) or eating fish (which is more prone to chemical contamination these days).

If compilers/languages/standard libraries provided these bit permutations, and it was just something ~everyone had learned, it would be a lot easier to work with bits without needing to come up with the bitwise ops (or use that generator). In addition it would probably make better use of the hardware: sure, people like to pretend that we’re still programming C for PDP11, but modern hardware supports more operations than C has operators for (RISC-V B extension and co have the right idea <3)

Modern compilers are probably pretty good? but I doubt they are perfect at turning code like that in OP into the best instructions.
It is probably a bit late for C/C++ though. maaaybe possible to get it into LLVM and Rust.

The article here is responding to an original blog post [1] that is not really saying the Higgs was not discovered (despite its trolling title), but raising questions about the meaning of "discovery" in systems that are so complicated as those in modern particle physics.

I think the author is using the original motivation of musing on null hypotheses to derive the title "The Higgs Discovery Did Not Take Place", and he has successfully triggered the controversy the subtitle ironically denies and the inevitable surface reading condemnations that we see in some of the comments here.
