The design decisions were acceptable, if they had admitted the fact that the new design necessitated significant new training for the pilots, who were now flying a version of the 737 that could lose positive stability in some corners of its flight envelope….a fact they buried to reduce scrutiny (or facilitate deniability) from regulators and to make it an easier sell to airlines.

Bean counters bathing in blood, all the way down.

The forward mounting of the engine nacelles could have been countered with a small adjustment of the sweep or the surface area of the horizontal stabiliser, instead of the faulty flight control software solution, keeping the aircraft an aerodynamically safe aircraft as had been earlier generations. But that would have been a de-facto admission that the fundamental aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft as certified were changed by the forward mounted nacelles.

They chose to monkeypatch the flight control system instead of making a minor change that would have produced the inherently safe aerodynamic characteristics that the aircraft was certified with.

They did this to avoid the delay and cost that would have resulted if they had been required to prove the aircraft design was still airworthy. There’s a reason that new designs must be certified to be used in passenger transport. They tried to work around the fact that the 737 max is a substantially new aircraft by monkeypatching the FCS to compensate for a potentially dangerous aerodynamic flaw that was introduced by the new location of the engines.

They chose to produce a more profitable but potentially dangerous aircraft instead of letting the engineers do their job and make the aircraft stable with the new engines. Regulators were also complicit in the regulatory evasion. Hundreds died as a direct result of this malfeasance.

See my more detailed comments above but I confirm this is working.

Looks like a few tweaks made to the github repo ~13 hours ago which may explain the issues those had earlier and why it's now fine for me.

How was he supposed to know to ignore those instructions and go to a completely different set of docs and search for "programs.adb.enable"?

Instead he gave up and switched to another distro where you install the package and it Just Works™. Even though NixOS's model is conceptually better, it loses out on tons of potential users because of usability problems like this.

If you haven't played Rez/Rez Infinite yet, you owe it to yourself to. The game is 22 years old and it's still leagues ahead of most games in terms of what a game can do, what it can express. Rez is... difficult to describe but a start might be, it's Polybius (legendary arcade game) if it were developed by raver hippies. Its purpose seems to be inducing an altered mental state of "flow" and the joy that comes therewith.

Rez has the property of being so good that other developers (expectedly) made games that try to do what Rez did, missed the mark completely, and still ended up with really cool games. Thumper, Aaero, and Sayonara Wild Hearts come to mind, as does Jeff Minter's take on Polybius.

I think the best approach is to make your language seamlessly interoperable with some existing language.
For memory there are definitely cases where the GC is faster. This is trivially true.

However, GC loses determinism, so if you have non-memory resources where determinism matters you need the same mechanism anyway, and something like a "defer" statement is a poor substitute for the deterministic destruction in languages which have that.

Determinism can be much more important than peak performance for some problems. When you see people crowing about "lock free" or even "wait free" algorithms, the peak performance on these algorithms is often terrible, but that's not why we want them. They are deterministic, which means we can say definite things about what will happen and not just hand wave.
> all discussion of reproducible builds are almost meaningless.

I see people working on reproducible builds understanding exactly what they work on and having successful conference talks. I understand their goal too. It could be less vague in the explanation on the website, but... There's a common understanding you seem to be missing, but that doesn't make the discussions/work meaningless.
> There also isn't generally a huge amount of pressure for these kinds of optimizations, given typical Python use cases. People who need performance are often already using a Python binding to code written in another language anyway.

You’re of course not wrong, it’s just disappointing to see regressions. A side project I have started as pure Python and has gradually shifted to Python calling various C functions via ctypes. Before anyone jumps in with “why not numpy” etc., I wanted to see how fast I could make Python using only the stdlib. Calling C code is only kind of cheating, IMO.

That aside, there do remain some surprising ways to gain performance in Python that aren’t usually looked at. For example, its string mini-format language (you know, before f-strings, and before .format()) is significantly faster than either alternative. Not surprising, since it’s essentially just printf. This doesn’t matter at all unless it’s in a hot loop, but most of my usage is, so I’ve spent an extremely long time in cProfile, perf, and memray doing optimizations.
This is a much more compelling explanation than any I've seen so far.

What do you do with the fact that no one (including the companies who do the initial training) modifies the training data when they want to modify the work? Are the weights not the preferred form for modifying a model?

"But whether it's in its interest"

How do you define "its interest"?

It is a business. It does not have interests of its own. its owners have interests - in this case its the one owner who has that. Its staff may have interests, as may other people, and there is always a public interest.

> the issue stems from business ownership of a so-called "independent" news outlet which has clear conflict of interest. Which is something that we should not accept and continue fighting against

I agree it is a problem, but, as far as traditional media goes, it is a lost cause. Can you see anything that will cause big media businesses to split themselves?
If you can’t get the technical details right, maybe you should hold your piece; this is a technical discussion. I also think you posted the wrong link.

Maybe not, but I do not know the cause, and you have not proposed one either. Do you have a theory about what happened in late 2023? We’ll have to see if this trend continues; the graphs you linked do show a slight upward turn right at the end of the graphs.

It seems like this is a mentally ill solo dropshipper. The business address on their website belongs to another company (as can be seen on their own Google Maps embedding).

People still chose to compile emacs from scratch rather than modify the binary. The source code was the preferred form for modifications.

The same is not true of these models. To my knowledge no company has retrained a model from scratch to make a modification to it. They make new models, but these are fundamentally different works with different parameter counts and architectures. When they want to improve on a model that they already built, they fine tune the weights.

If that's what companies that own all the IP do, that tells me that the weights themselves are the preferred form for making modifications, which makes them source code under the gpl's definition.
Hmmm...having to listen to the fairly constant anti immigration rethoric in the US makes me question your point of "social mobility and societal openness" a little bit.

Ask HN: Learning to interact correctly in online communities as a neurodivergent
I often encounter negative reactions in online communities, such as downvotes, being mistaken for a troll, and being misunderstood constantly. It also happens in person, although to a lesser extent, since I can rely on my body language and close friends to help convey my message, as they probably know me so well to infer my meaning from my, I guess, strange communication pattern. Weirdly, on the other hand, when it comes to explaining something I get complimented on how clear I make it (cue the comment "you could make a child understand quantum physics").

The negativity I face online, though, has led me to withdraw from participating in these communities, opting instead to lurk. The toll it takes on my mental health is significant, which also makes me worried about the reactions I might receive here, but I chose to post on HN because I believe it to be one of the most tolerant online communities, so I'll bite the bullet for what may well be the last time.

All in all, I'm at a crossroads and unsure of how to proceed. I've considered trying to imitate others, but I find it difficult, if not impossible. I've also attempted to use AI as a crutch, the way I "use" my friends to help me "translate" my thoughts, but that has often resulted in even more negative feedback. It has gone on and off for 15 years and I haven't made much progress. So, do you have any actionable suggestion? Thanks.
The retro wave hits everyone around 30 years, and again around 50. It would be interesting to have a non-continuous copyright claim. The first 15 years it's yours, then 15-30 it's public, 30-60 it's yours again, and finally 60+ it's public domain forever.

According to the site, ad targeting is allowed based on gender and age, but not race or religion, for example. All four of those categories were previously used to restrict voting and are now legally protected from voting discrimination.

Why allow targeting some of them but not all? Either all should be disallowed (for the same reason that race, religion, etc are), or all should be allowed (on the reasoning that this is about choosing who to promote your message to, not in any way affecting who can vote or independently search about election issues--which is presumably why age and gender are allowed).

There still are mobile workstation laptops with ECC memory, e.g. the Dell Precision 5000/7000 series and some similar series at HP and Lenovo.

My own laptop is such a Dell Precision model.

EDIT:
Looking now at the Dell site, I see that buying a laptop with ECC memory has become much more difficult than a few years ago. For many of the "mobile workstations" ECC memory is not offered at this time, while for those where you can customize the laptop and choose ECC, the price is absolutely outrageous, e.g. $850 for 64 GB of ECC memory.

Of course, anyone sensible would buy the "mobile workstation" with the smallest and cheapest memory option, then they would buy separately 64 GB of ECC SODIMM memory at a price 4 times lower than demanded by Dell.
These are being passed by whoever is using the library. They should be checked before being passed to the function.
the networking does not necessarily has to be in standard library, but there has to be some "official" package/library that handles these things on a superb level and is ready to go in an instant. for odin, there is one http server in the works, and according to bil it will be the "official" package but when you look at it, it is VERY lacking in many aspects. it's more like a guy made a library that kinda works, but it's nowhere near the expected standard and performance one expects.

The McD procedure involves draining the barrel, flushing it with water, then disassembling each barrel assembly and removing every o-ring and gasket.

https://youtu.be/SaYTx7qNJU4?si=Y2ZjWHQJHiKQfAFh

Each part is washed in detergent, rinsed, and sanitized. Rings and gaskets are relubricated with food safe petroleum jelly, then everything is reassembled.

Forget one ring or misalign one gasket and the machine will shoot dairy everywhere when repressurized. Cleanup and rework after that is messy, and probably wasted a lot of other nearby product and disposables. So don't do that.

After reassembly the machine is flushed with sanitizer then clear water then primed with the mix you saved from the beginning. Let's hope you stored it properly in the cooler before it started to spoil. It's expensive. If nothing has exploded it's ready for use after an hour of cooling down.

To do this in 45 minutes with no catastrophic errors is pro-level. And this is why McD went to a self-sanitizing machine.
The top of the line cut is probably hard to move without causing a big ruckus. Fluffing individual line items is probably a lot easier.
Except Dairy Queen, Wendy’s, and McDonald’s outside of the U.S. don’t have this problem.

My writing was imprecise, I meant to communicate that it makes it possible to trust the contents of a derivation, given that you know that the hash is correct, which can be verified independently in the cases where the derivation is reproducible. Content addressability makes it easier to establish and verify trust across systems.

Given the degree to which the post is referenced, I do feel that it misses out by only describing input addressed derivations and not CA.

My experience with Prisma, which has a very similar DSL for defining schemas, has changed my mind on this. Makes me much more productive when maintaining large schemas. I can make a one line change in the schema file and instantly have types, models, and up/down migrations generated and applied, and can be guaranteed correct. No issues with schema drift between different environments or type differences in my code vs db.

Prisma is popular enough it also has LSP and syntax highlighting widely available. For simple DSL this is actually very easy build. Excited to have something similar in Rust ecosystem.

Restricting to straight lines would be the most straightforward, I think. It follows the convention of only changing squares that you touch.

Drawing rectangles introduces a new paradigm where you can fill in squares you don’t actually touch, so it might be less intuitive. At the least, you would probably want to highlight the affected squares in a different color before finalizing the action.
Sometimes you just need to put in some work and understand what you're doing. The author needed to search for "adb" in the docs, not the whole attribute path. With the errors, they could debug the issue like they would on any other system.

But that search is for packages themselves and is correct - that's how you install it. It's not going to tell you about the configuration just like it doesn't for nginx, postgresql, or many other packages. Sometimes you "have to be this high to ride", or use a simpler system - but that comes with its own issues.
