Hey taxpayer! You don't like the estimated $1.5 trillion going to Lockheed Martin for their hunk of junk F35? Then you're just like Forbes, Bloomberg, the Washington Post and the other anti-American ChiComs who are saying all this because "they need it to be shit".

Your rant is almost as inspiring as the Palantir CEO's flag waving speeches where he rants against the anti-America crowd who question why their tax dollars are flowing to his company.
Not exactly this, but you can easily make big sparks and trip RCD (GFCI) breakers if you accidentally probe something with a grounded scope that isn't isolated. In the past we've used battery powered scopes to get around this (cutting the ground pin off anything isn't a good way to do things!)
The fact that the plane was able to fly over 60 miles after he ejected kinda proves that ejecting wasn't really needed.

I've been pulling some all nighters for getting our V2 across the line :) Size-wise, we had over 20 developers working on it at one point and we raised over $2.3M to build on Godot, so I do believe it's one of the largest by team size. https://venturebeat.com/games/the-mirror-raises-2-3m-pre-see...
Wow, these are some of the best looping animations I've ever seen. Really impressive and stylistic stuff.
Sure, that makes sense as a waste if you are operating under the assumption that they have no questions of ability and are simply being railroaded, and will never fly again.

In this case, the pilot is still flying. They are just not leading as prestigious and high risk command, because there are doubts that they suitable. There is no new cost, they are just rotating the roster. he will fly elsewhere and a different pilot will take that role.

It is only a loss if you double down thinking that he was the best or only fit for that role.

On the one hand, I would be very surprised if this sort of dashboard metric didn't already exist in some enterprise software somewhere. My management at a previous company literally asked me if we could do a daily report on who sent and received the most email in our department.

I refused to do it because I didn't like where I saw it going, but another coworker did. Unsurprisingly, the person who got the most email and sent the most email was the Sysadmin whose email account was set as sender for all the automated emails from the various servers, as he would literally email himself hundreds of alert emails a day, on top of all the crap newsletters and digests he subscribed to.

On the other hand, all of your coworkers asking you to not do something that could potentially impact their jobs, and you do it anyway as a hobby project? Sounds like kind of a jerk move.

Abortion restrictions means reduced access to reproductive healthcare. Reduced access to healthcare leads to increased mortality.

A contributing factor is also financial drivers making it unsustainable to provide obstetrician services in rural America, as well as birth volume declining below levels needed to make providing this care sustainable going forward.

More than half (57%) of the rural hospitals in the U.S. do not offer labor and delivery services, and in 10 states, more than two-thirds do not. Over the past five years, more than 100 rural hospitals across the country have stopped delivering babies. ~40% of the rural hospitals that still have labor & delivery services lost money on patient services overall in 2022-23, so their ability to continue delivering maternity care is at risk. In fourteen states, the majority of rural maternity care hospitals have been losing money.

https://states.guttmacher.org/policies/

My analysis: As always, lots of nuance, but the big rocks are obvious. States with abortion restrictions are predominately rural. Their labor, delivery, and obstetrician services were already in peril. They doubled down. It should not be unexpected that the outcome of these confluence of factors is higher maternal mortality rates.
Show HN: Visual inference exploration and experimentation playground
Most inference UIs that I've come across pretty much just give us a chat-like interface to toy around with models in a single visual conversation thread.

Given the fact that we are limited to seeing only one output at a time, it's kind of hard to compare outputs from different models, adjustments made to the prompting, and sampler settings.

But even when keeping the generation parameters the same (e.g., to test for reliability in the output) and just going for multiple passes, there is no easy way to have a side-by-side comparison to keep track of the outputs from the multiple "rounds".

I really like excalidraw and thinking visually, so that got me thinking: why not build a sort of "open-world" playground to just place nodes that represent system, user, and assistant messages on a big canvas? Since they all fit on the screen, we have this easy side-by-side comparison that is basically unlimited in the number of direct side-by-side threads at any level. Meaning one user input could lead to two assistant outputs that in turn introduce new sub-branches that can be tracked visually.

Imagine trying to validate that all letters sent to your company are written by special company-provided typewriters and you would run into the same fundamental limits.

Whenever you design any client/server architecture, the first rule should always be "never trust the client," for that very reason.

Rather than trying to work around that rule, put your effort into ensuring that the system is correct and resilient even in the face of malicious clients.

If there's some easy way to figure out where that id parameter in the results page comes from (I assume some simple hash of the link), then you could probably even just make it a bookmarklet.
Hm, in the end most of the problems do come down to stuff not coming from blessed headers.

Regardless of anything else, how about:

* deprecate direct access to `environ` and add functions to replace it. Have a macro that indicates this and provide a canonical compatibility shim for people to copy if they might use old libcs.

* using linker magic, change the behavior of programs depending on whether they attempt to access `environ` or not, so old-API programs are still thread-unsafe but new ones are thread-safe.

It's amazing how much you can do with the conditionally-linked object files from a static "library". Much of C's cross-TU "UB, no diagnostic required" is inexcusable since we can detect it quite easily with zero overhead (at least, for static linking) using today's linkers by deliberately causing multiple definition errors.

Compatibility with old-ABI programs probably means fixing `environ` is not that simple, but you are libc and libc is in control of dynamic linking ...
Sorry I'm not sure you're following me.

I'm suggesting that the user's phone that they already need (since the hardware pairs with the app in the article) is the hardware in this context. A phone already has a microphone and--if the environment is too noisy- many also support direct audio input through the phone's charge/data port with a simple off-the-shelf converter. Most smartphones can perform real-time audio progressing nowadays.

The trade-off is that midi is going to be lower error than an audio processing algorithm and much easier to implement out-the-gate, while it's certainly a step-up in the software engineering needed to develop and implement an audio processing algorithm to implement pitch/key detection as well as capture relative timing and velocity.

Correct the product in the article has no dependence on synthesis, but in pretty much all contexts in which someone will be using the device, there will be a corresponding audio signal present. Most people don't tap out music with a midi controller just in silence/without some sort of synthesis in conjunction.
Recently at work I developed a small suite tools (in a mixture of python and shell, running in WSL) that left my boss impressed when he saw me debugging a customers system (IOT).

Then he started asking me to make them accessible to non programmers, and suddenly those tools seemed a lot more than I bargained for.

> even after controlling for socioeconomic differences a wide mortality gap persists

Findings like this become more suspect if one demands a more specific cause for the effect. It's rather hard to imagine racism explaining a difference in standard of care that would make a measurable difference to mortality, but not be so brazen as to get noticed by conscientious observers.

> and concluded that it was not the doctor’s skin colour that best explained the mortality gap between races, but rather the baby’s birth weight. Although the authors of the original 2020 study had controlled for various factors, they had not included very low birth weight (ie, babies born weighing less than 1,500 grams, who account for about half of infant mortality). Once this was also taken into consideration, there was no measurable difference in outcomes.... a disproportionately high share of underweight black babies were treated by white doctors

Ah, a hidden correlate. It makes sense that, since low birth weight is a complication, those babies would be disproportionately delivered at larger hospitals with a diverse team, rather than some small local hospital where the staff are more likely to resemble the local community.
My dad was reprimanded for not following orders ejecting when the engine on his F-86 failed. He did the calculations and figured he could make the field, which he did.

They said the pilot was far more valuable than the airplane.
I think that is a fair question. Cheaper would obviously be better, but unless or until they are cheap, they are not disposable.

I think Ukraine is lots of evidence that of how important it is to have air superiority, even at extreme cost. If Russia had gained air superiority as many expected, the war would have been over shortly.

The book said that ejecting is the correct action when the plane is “unresponsive to the pilot’s commands“. This simple, straight forward statement turns out to be more ambiguous than they intended. Do you eject if the radio doesn’t change channel? No, that would be silly, even though the plane didn’t respond to your command to change the channel. The plane is still flyable without the radio! Common sense says that you should just land and get the radio fixed. There’s even a whole procedure that pilots have to memorize about how to land at an airport safely even if you have no radio.

In this case the pilot changed from mode 4 (SVTOL for landing) to mode 1 (normal flight) when the ILS system went offline. But because the HUD blinked on and off several times, he didn’t realize that the plane was actually transitioning back to mode 1. He didn’t wait long enough for it to finish, and without his HUD he thought that the plane was unresponsive, so he ejected. But the plane was still flyable, even if it had actually been stuck in mode 4! You probably can’t dogfight in mode 4, but you can certainly fly to your alternate airport and land.

So instead of penalizing him for following his training to the letter, they changed the manual to state that ejecting is the correct course of action if the plane is unresponsive to the pilot’s “pitch, roll, or yaw commands” specifically.
Now they’re going to have to incarcerate more people to make up for the lost revenue

> The ejection was months before he got the role at VMX-1.

But he had already been a qualified test pilot--you have to have had that experience for a number of years before you will even be considered for a post like the CO of VMX-1. So this is not a case of an ordinary line pilot doing things by the book but the book was wrong. This is a case of a test pilot, while he did everything by the book, taking an action that cast some doubt on his judgment as a test pilot. Which seems perfectly reasonable to me. My father was a Navy test pilot, and had plenty of stories to tell that were a lot more hair-raising than what seems to have happened here, and he brought those planes back. The one time he did have to eject from a test aircraft, it was doing uncommanded 360 degree rolls and was not responding to flight controls at all, and he got out just in time before it crashed.
Many, many airplanes and lives were saved by pilots not following the book.

It has a political component because of the cost. The military must be accountable to the taxpayers when they incur losses. We don't have tolerance for unlimited crashes and the reasons or blame must be assigned.
