It’s possible I will never read a worse written article so completely devoid of any actual information. I wonder why they bothered writing it
>His reconstructions make it clear that these phenomena result from properties of the optical system used in the sensors as well as diffusion of infrared light through miles of atmosphere.

West's analysis is a shallow one masquerading as a deep one.

From his analysis on the (suggestively named) GIMBAL video, it's clear that the only thing his reconstruction proves is that the rotation ("It's rotating!") and outline is a result of the optics platform. I take no issue with that.

The DoD's claims about extraordinary flight characteristics are not, however, based on the silhouette or the rotation. They have all the flight data from multiple aircraft and ground systems. Their conclusion is based on, at least, additional information from the Situational Awareness display ("There's a whole fleet of them, look on the SA"), the longevity of their flight time (reportedly 12+ hours per Lt. Ryan Graves), and hypersonic flight maneuvers (simultaneously observed both visually and on radar, per Cmdr. David Fravor and SCPO Kevin Day).

Low-information UFO enthusiasts are the ones who got excited about the shape and rotation (which West focuses on), but the DoD never cared about that. Even the name GIMBAL suggests that they were already aware of those confounding effects prior to public release.

Everyone interested in the topic should watch the Mick West videos, but be careful not to make more of his videos than what's actually there (ie the subset of claims he can support with reconstruction data).
Sure. Thanks for having contacted me.
It's been a couple years, but when I built our in-office render farm for my previous company I also got motherboards with built-in 10G because they needed 4GPU's and there simply no more PCIe slots left. There were so many connectivity issues, but eventually it was solved when we replaced the switches. When I first built the farm there was only one brand that sold cheap 10gbit ethernet switches, but a couple years later finally ubiquiti started making them as well and I think now all of the semi-pro brands sell 10gbit switches. Since we swapped to ubiquiti switches we had no more connectivity issues, not even with the cheap 10G interfaces.

The good intel 10G cards were not expensive at all by the way, I bought them for later additions, and they were cheaper than the premium we paid for the money-gamer motherboards that included 10G cards that I saw you were unhappy about too.
> This seems like a huge failure on the part of the NTSB.

This is a deep misunderstanding. NTSB is not an organization with a regulatory power - it is an "investigative" agency. It does not have any mandate or power to stop anyone from doing anything. It can investigate and issue recommendations and reports to other agencies that have the actual power - FAA, FHA, NHTSA, etc, etc.
That's nice. It doesn't change the fact the default feed is amplifying the same posts that made twitter a toxic wasteland.
Hmm yes, that's the question. What are methods for reversing the shrinkage? How do you intentionally open your awareness to the invisible reality?

I think a loss of control is called for. Ya, travel might do it. Also drugs, meditation...?

Or it could even be thrust on you, an accident or disaster. A sudden violent involuntary expansion of awareness.
They already had 8 years to overrun it.

Sadly, virtually everyone with experience in enterprise IT is working in enterprise IT so there are very few outlets doing independent reviews. Pricing is especially tricky because customers don't want to get their 80% discount revoked and it's hard for non-customers to get real information.
Some people seem to get immense satisfaction and pleasure out of censoring other people online.

It's something I've seen time and time again, in a wide variety of discussions forums, for decades now.

Such people will happily do it for free, and they're willing to dedicate many hours per day to it, too.

I don't understand their motivation(s), but perhaps it simply gives them a sense of power, control, or influence that they otherwise don't have in their lives outside of the Internet.
hopefully their stock takes a big hit monday - these types only understand one thing
Just to clarify, are you implying that life is better in countries where the population has little or no education?

Hopefully i’m misunderstanding because that would be quite something.
> radar ranges with mechanical timers

Those were the best. Dead simple to operate. That said I still have the Goldstar microwave I bought over 30 years ago, which has a keypad and digital timer.
It's not guaranteed, but much fewer points of failure.
The Linux Steam client is also still 32-bit, so it's more like 20 years with no 64-bit support.
Most people haven't heard of Fediverse, so it's a New Trope to them.
It sounds more like you can afford to buy a house, just not in the area you want.
I have never seen nor heard any mention of fluoride in Austin, FWIW.

I mean, maybe I just don't hang out with that crowd. But I do go to restaurants and haven't ever seen it mentioned.
Are you really trying to suggest that printing out 500-1000 copies of a photo and handing it out physically to all the kids in the school is the same as effortlessly spamming the same image out through online groups/chats? Come on, man.
You get actually denials so you get responses? I still have my job but I was sending CV out just to check and I basically did not even get a single reply besides automated "thanks, we received your application".

It is also not that my CV sucks because in 2020 and 2021 I was sending out my CV and was getting calls or replies the next day.
Those people should never be allowed to moderate anything for obvious reasons.
As an MD/PhD I wish all MD researchers read this book. Heck, I wish all neuro researchers read it. If you are already established in in stats and math and your interest is just another math book to casually read or reference, this is a bad choice
You don’t get trolls unless you have a lot of people on there already.
SICP isn't a book about Lisp, however it uses some of Lisp's unique properties to demonstrate important concepts that other languages can't easily replicate. A book that's meant to be similar to SICP that doesn't use Scheme or Lisp would not be anything like SICP, or at least not teach the same things. Haskell and ML are in my experience much harder to understand than Scheme, so I'm wondering what your difficulty is?
I love having "followers" like you, jrflowers. Did you ever figure out how to setup that URL that pulls up just my posts?
There's ultimately no getting around that kind of segmentation. You can't make everybody read what you want them to read.

If you don't let people control what they encounter, whether by signing up for aggressively moderated communities or subscribing to automated curators or just manually black/white-listing as they see fit, they'll find themselves dissatisfied with all the noise and move on.

Unmoderated social media is not a solution to "zealous communities" and "samethink" -- through self-selection, it just becomes a haven for whatever zealotry or samethink happens to organically dominate it.
Sad to not see a mention of tracking, i.e. the ability to disable open-tracking or click-tracking. Some services even have it disabled by default to respect subscribers’ privacy but sadly they weren’t included in the article. Some examples: Buttondown, Mailcoach, SendStack. No affiliation, I just researched them in the past (https://blog.daniemon.com/2022/11/15/privacy-first-newslette...)

It wasn’t only video. The reason the planes were scrambled in the first place was because of hits from the ship’s radar. The planes also saw them on radar. The pilots also made visual contact, and testified under oath before Congress as to what they saw.

I’m sorry, but West is not convincing. He has a predetermined outcome in mind, namely, that there is nothing but man-made vehicles in the sky, and that there is zero chance for it to be anything else. Ever.

This conclusion does not match the evidence, and symbolizes a tragic incuriosity about the possibilities the universe holds.
> I have a feeling that this is going to create a weird thing of some magnitude where accounts end up on popular blacklists for poor reasons and have no recourse.

This actually has already kind of occurred with moderation lists and the solution has generally been to strike down list managers who abuse their authority and block them (as you can't normally add someone who has blocked you to their lists).
I am a manager and I don't mentally stack rank my reports.

That's not out of respect or anything, but because they're all good. I hired and mentored them, and they all passed probation.

Sure there are junior devs who are just starting, but they're getting paid less, so they're pulling their weight proportionately. They're not worse.
I’m hoping subscription model without special uprank will be sufficient!

I’m very skeptical but I’m rooting for success!
I stopped social networking before twitter and facebook, never had the pleasure or sorrow. It's a conscious decision, you too can have solace avoiding some/all.

My circle of close friends is small, quality over quantity and such.

^ this. Every time the school staff have to deal with THOSE parents, yet again, is a huge stressor and they will try to avoid it if they can, but the parents of the "generally-good-except-this-once" kids will generally be totally reasonable and easy to deal with, even if injustice is occurring.
I doubt a "microservice" has anything to do with delivering the video frames. There are specific kinds of infrastructure tech that are specifically designed to serve live video to large amounts of clients. If they are in fact using a "microservice" to deliver video frames, then I'd ask them to have their heads examined. Microservices are typically used to do mundane short-lived tasks, not deliver video.
>The consensus is that gravity - outside of extreme mass/energy environments - works just as Newton described it to many many decimal places.

It absolutely does not. Newtonian gravity occurs instantly. It has no notion of information taking time to propagate. But we know gravitational waves happen, so Newtonian gravity is wrong _at even very large scales_. If the sun disappeared Newton tells us we'd know immediately. In GR we'd know about 8 min later.

The bigger problem is not that the quantitative effect is large, but that the _qualitative_ difference of going from the instantaneous effect to one that needs to propagate is enormous. It's the whole point of relativity as a concept.

Even going to GEM as a true, non-singular linear approximation of GR would be a step up from Newton's laws, at least there we can have gravitational waves and causal flow of information.

Unless you're talking about state-sanctioned murder, this is just emotive rhetoric with no relevance to what people are actually disagreeing on.
>Their reference point is a lossy 128kb/s file from a streaming service double transcoded over bluetooth so that must be what music sounds like. Who would have thought technology would progress backwards.

The only major streaming service that doesn't do lossless is Spotify.

Further just about no one is going to be able to tell the 256kb/s AAC that the iPhone sends to headphones across bluetooth from the lossless audio file.

Also, portable headphones have progressed leaps and bound since 2005 and they'll all basically sound better playing over bluetooth than the portable headphones that were out in 2005.
Moderation. It's a thankless job. I supposed blocking spam counts as censorship.
Well this doesn't seem like such a conundrum. We know for sure that ND is wrong because it predict things incorrectly which GR predicts correctly. We know GR is wrong because it is incompatible with any form of QM and we know some form of QM is more or less correct. Essentially, GR and ND are both wrong, but ND is more wrong than GR.
I think the classic CLR text is great but, yeah, caches through quite a monkey wrench into naive big O analysis.

Still, I think the time investment to learn algos and data structures isn't too much of a burden.

As a fellow cyclist I find this strange. I visited austin to see what the hype was about and left knowing I couldn’t live there. Massive 6 lane stroads running through suburban sprawl for miles in every direction. Barely any elevation to speak of. Strangely humid despite there being no water in sight.

Most people I know that are happy with the move to Texas from California are the types that never cared for going outside in the first place. It’s a good place to build a big house and fill it with toys, which is exactly what you’ve done, so nice work there!

A lot of free services would disappear if they were unable to make some sort of ad-based income. Some people would be unable to do anything except whatever was provided by their government without ad-supported services (thinking Google products, YouTube, etc.) It would eventually go back to the way it was in the old days - a few actually-useful-but-struggling sites, a few paid-for services that might or might not survive, a passel of vanity sites and some incoherent cranks and weirdos (Time Cube, etc.).

Heaven for some, but mostly boring for everyone else after an hour.
what was the ultimate cause/fix of issues in your case? a database thing?
The small group that does has had a major influence on culture at large.
It probably depends more on the ISP than on Netflix. Engineers over in my ISP’s subreddit are talking about how flows from Netflix jumped by over 450Gb/s and it was no big deal because it wasn’t enough to cause any congestion on any of their backbone links.
Kind of shows the echo chamber. Looks like the Jordan Peterson account, which has never posted anything, is around number 14.
That's true, though new technologies -- web browsers, mobile devices -- have necessitated some framework writing.

Why? I think it makes perfect sense to focus on a mesh routing protocol and make anonymity something optional that you can lay on top of it. No reason you can't run a Yggdrasil network and have an I2P network within it. This way there isn't as much of a performance hit for communications that don't call for anonymity, and anonymous peers can be established without being on the clearnet.
You're right, they need to do well with the bot problem to really succeed.

But, it won't be "just like twitter" unless the "Discover" tab ("For You" on X) is filled the billionaire owner's non-stop hyper-partisan, political posts.
This is something I found worrying, tbh.

With tempered glass, firefighters heading for a vehicle accident attach glass breakers on a string to their gloves. That way, they can pull a person out of a car in 20 seconds if the immediate danger is larger than the medical considerations, and the person isn't stuck.

With laminated windows, you need a Halligan bar or some other poking tool (sometimes forcefully moving a spike towards a patient) to make a hole, a Sawzall which needs 10 seconds alone to go through common glass, time to get all of that...

It's worrying how much faster vehicle safety is moving compared to emergency extraction capabilities.
Moderation lists and labellers honestly already get you most of the way there. Labellers are very effective at flagging spam/botted content and accounts that continuously show up on labellers as spam/bot content get referred to moderation lists dedicated to specific types of spam and bot content.

So you can already start by using a labeller and just hiding that content behind a warning (kind of like the NSFW wall), hiding it entirely, or just attaching a visual tag to it (based on preferences). And then to filter out more consistent perpetrators you can rely on mute/block lists.

>I have AirPods 2 Pro and sure, they sound nice. Less sweaty on the treadmill. But even a $100 DJ headset from a $200 streamer blows it away.

Doubt. Doubt. Doubt. Airpods Pro 2 are actually decent headphones worth the amount of money they are. They are most definitely better than $100 DJ headsets.
> that in time it might develop into zealous communities of samethink

yeah, this is reddit in a nutshell. Anyone that pointed out that Harris is going to lose the election because of x reasons was ridiculed. Among other things.
This is great, but it’s not what I get paid for. I’ve yet to work at a place where I thought, “If only I had read SICP, things would be easier.”

I work with distributed systems, writing business logic and dealing with infrastructure concerns. For me, learning about databases, quirks of distributed systems, and patterns for building fault-tolerant services is more important than reading the nth book on structuring programs, deciding which algorithm to use, or figuring out whether my algorithm has O(1) or O(n) complexity.

This doesn’t mean CS fundamentals aren’t important—they are—but I work in a different space. I’d get more value out of reading Designing Data-Intensive Applications than SICP. If I were in the business of building frameworks or databases, I’d probably be the target audience.
Thanks for the textbook link, this looks right up my alley!
A reasonable question... In English we read left to right and the "Blog" link was left of the "Github" link. :-) And I just didn't think about it once I saw the most recent blog post was from a year ago about an "upcoming 0.5 release" and no update on the release. I'll admit, I did a half-assed job.
So, election interference?
Sorry for that. I will try to fix it now.
Or people can just learn to pronounce Yggdrasil. Then again, how does it matter? If anything, an unusual name (relative to Latin languages) is more memorable. If it was called "Dogshit" I'd still use it.

I was pointing out how dumb a multibillion dollar company is for getting this so wrong. Broadcasting live events is something that is underestimated by everyone that has never it, yet hubris of a major tech company thinking it knows better is biting them in the ass.

As many other people have commented, so many other very large dwarfing this event have been pulled off with no hiccups visible to the viewers. I have amazing stories of major hiccups during MLB World Series that viewers had no idea about happening, but “inside baseball” people knew. To the point that the head of the network caught something during the broadcast calling the director in the truck saying someone is either going to be fired or get a raise yet the audience would never have noticed if the person ended up getting fired. They didn’t, btw.

In the case of CSAM, yes. In the case of other material? No. Again, I side heavily on the side of freedom of speech, but the argument that limiting speech and limiting some specific kinds of widely condemned speech are orthogonal does not stand up to the most basic scrutiny.

The most-bullied kid I ever witnessed in my life was also the most annoying, he would act out and make annoying noises and say the dumbest, most irritating "jokes". I've never seen a kid get bullied so bad, people stole his backpack and peed in it, hung him on the gym changeroom clothing rack by his underwear (wedgie-style), all kinds of stuff. The kid's obnoxious nature was totally used as an excuse for the bullying he was subjected to, because basically "everyone" was annoyed by him and thus felt little sympathy for the persistent bullying he experienced.

In adult years I came across him on Facebook and he was wearing biker gang clothing/insignia. Of course the persistently exiled/bullied kid turns to organized crime later in life - the perfect system to exploit his endlessly-neglected need for inclusion and protection.

Yet there are places which have been geologically stable for 100's of millions of years or more.

Change does happen but the risks can be made negligible compared to the various risks associated with other sources of energy. The damages of worse case nuclear waste leakage would also likely be very localized and manageable.

Meanwhile fossil fuels have enormous environmental impacts across huge areas. Even solar and wind have large ecological impacts and aren't (likely) capable of replacing fossil fuels in time to prevent potentially catastrophic effects from global warming.

It's all about weighing the risks.
1. Yes it would be somewhat predictable to find these lenses for a civilization more advanced than ours.

2. Unless we find faster than light communication (which, with our current understanding of physics is about as likely as humans jumping to the moon) there is nothing we could use it for other than definite proof that other life has evolved in the universe. Interesting data, but they're most likely extinct for billions of years already and even if they're not, the compound gravity lens will have moved out of alignment by then so we have no means to send a message back.
