EMAS is designed to crush under the pressure of all of the aircraft's weight pushing down on the relatively narrow contact area of the tires. There were no tires in this case. I am unaware of an EMAS that has been designed or tested for the far more broadly distributed weight of a belly landing.
It doesn't make sense, though, that it would have to be concrete-reinforced above ground, and non-frangible, just because the area floods.

Maybe it's the cheapest way to engineer the ILS localizer to be flood-resistant? I don't know.
Ideally LLMs speed them up enough that companies will use the time savings to upskill them right? Right?

Can someone explain the use case for this project?

Is it intended for device vendors creating phones and tablets or for telecom companies building their own infrastructures?
I have taken a few stabs at programming with C, and every time I get the language concepts down fine, and hit a brick wall dealing with linking/loading/compilation. I've found a book that deals with linking and loading in detail, finally, but I always wondered why this crucial step is almost always completely handwaved, or if it's mentioned, you'll be given commands to run with little to no explanation. There is a whole ecosystem of toolchains, many old and very particular in their incantations, that are REQUIRED to do anything with C (and friends), it's crazy to me that it never gets the attention it needs or really has improved at all. Is this something they cover in CS universities in depth or do they just tell you to let the IDE take care of it?
If someone is mature enough to know what a VPN is and to configure and operate it, then they have likely validated they are not a minor.

So in a way, using a VPN is an indirect proof of age.
Edit to add:

Just minutes ago, Siri said she didn’t understand what we were saying. We never said “Hey Siri” or anything remotely like that. It keeps happening at least once a week. It’s clearly listening to some degree when it’s not supposed to. The only question is if there’s a recording of that.
Organizations should be spear phishing their employees using LLMs to test defenses and identify gaps in security awareness training and processes.

Yes, but making sure you can still read your encrypted emails after something went wrong with your setup and you had to reinstall is already harder. How PGP integrates with a system is not trivial to understand.

Yes. The problem is darpa PMs only have a 4 year window. They also have a limited budget of about 80 million. They also have to pitch a program to get hired into darpa and then further have to get buy in from darpa brass to move ahead with thier portfolio.

Moreover, darpa is not the airforce, army, navy, ect. Just because darpa makes the widget doesn't mean anyone has to use it. Also working for darpa is a difficult as they micromanage thier PIs and you have to constantly show progress (even bi weekly) which isn't conducive to research.

My experience has been that Darpa has a romanticized role outside of those who have actually worked for darpa.

As a researcher you are not incentived to tell darpa the truth because if they are not happy with it, they won't give you any money which is already hard to come by.

Darpa PMs are often young, have few publications and are new to the government and have romanticized ideas about what they think they can accomplish.
Bull. I have no clue at this glance what .input specifies, or what I can override without a conflict. Heck, .input might not even exist, resulting in only stock browser styles. The bottom one, I can fully picture while it isn’t much longer, the above is opaque and gives me no information at all about the look.

Secondly though, and why this opinion is frankly stupid, is that I can just put this in my CSS code before it’s built through Vite:

input {
@apply bg-white focus:outline-none focus:shadow-outline border border-gray-300 rounded-lg py-2 px-4 block w-full appearance-none leading-normal;
}

And then lo and behold, I’ll do you one better:

<input type=“text”> </input> is now fully styled, with Tailwind only.
Gradient Descent?
Through that juxtaposition, Sam is likely going to claim that some implementation of AI agents will be AGI.

That's going to be very hard to argue.

It's always amazing to me how reluctant everyone is to grant ISM bandwidth. If you watch a spectrum analyzer you'll immediately notice that the ISM bands are packed and licensed space is entirely empty. At this point with devices being both much more dynamic and much more spatially multiplexed (and more directional) I have a hard time accepting arguments that really anything from DC to daylight should be licensed at this point outside of a few very small niches (GPS and airband mostly). We should be gradually deprecating equipment that requires absolute band exclusion to operate because just slicing up spectrum is by far the least efficient way of utilizing a finite resource.

It's also worth pointing out that we're about to lose about half of one of our ISM bands (915MHz, LoRa, Meshtastic, ELRS, various smart home protocols etc) due to the lovely folks at NextNav wanting dedicated bandwidth for a paywalled GPS alternative. It's by far the best ISM band in the US for long range unlicensed communications due to being in a sweet spot of path loss, penetration, and bandwidth.
I should have clarified (and it's too late to edit) that this refers to code I wrote and licensed before the applicable employment. It was already made public under a BSD/MIT license, so everyone (including me) is allowed to use and fork that version, even the ownership later changes and the new owner licenses theirs differently.
Not to get into a pissing war, but I'll judge ya right back. =)

There's a phrase from aviation that I keep thinking about when I think about LLMs - "behind the airplane."

When you're "behind the airplane," you're in a situation where the airplane is doing something you don't intimately understand and you're reacting to it. It is an _incredibly_ dangerous place to be, and is indicative of you being in an emergency situation and over your head. You want to be "ahead of the airplane," where you understand intimately what is happening, and you are making forward-thinking plans about what you expect to do in the coming seconds, minutes, and hours.

When I'm coding, I generally feel "ahead of the code." I'm thinking ahead about the architecture and design of what it is I want to accomplish, refactors are done with a high level of understanding and for a well-understood reason, etc. When coding with an LLM, I feel like I'm "behind the code" - I'm being given code that I now have to evaluate for purpose. I don't intimately know what it's doing, why it's written that way, the broader effects it will have or how to integrate it into the larger system.

When you are "behind the airplane," that's when mistakes happen and planes crash. I think that metaphor extends very well to coding here, as well. =)

> Unlike many of my less successful colleagues, I quickly learned to take yes for an answer; though we were legally required to read a long list of mandatory disclosures to all our sales, I noticed that this often broke the spell and gave people an opening to back out or “wait and ask the wife about it.” As soon as I heard a yes, I said, “Great choice!” and transferred them to confirmation. My manager occasionally came by and reminded me that it was technically illegal to skip my disclosures, but he made commission off my commission, and his tone made it clear that I could do as I pleased as long as I kept putting up numbers.

I don’t know how Duolicious does it. With okcupid you could not just answer the question, but also mark which answers you would “accept” in a potential partner and how much you care about that question from “not at all” to “very much”.

For example if the question was “Do you do drugs?” i can answer it with a “no” but also mark that I’m willing to meet people who marked either “no” or “only soft stuff, like weed”, and that it is a “somewhat important” question for me. But as an other example about the question “What does wherefore mean in Wherefore art thou Romeo?” I would mark that I accept all answers and care about others answer not at all. But if someone else cared about this they could still see that my answer was “why”.

They will certainly change the output, as we've already seen, likely not for the better unless something changes.
Is it really philosophical?

Scripting means telling an already built piece of software what to do. In this case, the game engine code doesn't change, the programmer uses the existing functions and interface to tell it what to do. Even Unreal programming is mostly scripting... Yes you're writing C++ but you're only telling the engine what to do, not rewriting it (well, unless you are).

It's why scripting languages are called such... The interpreter is already built and remains unchanged, and runs the code without rebuilding anything.

Python doesn't suddenly become a non-scripting language just because your program reaches a certain size or scope.

It's weird that someone would take offence to calling scripting scripting... Like, it's nice that things are prebuilt and make programming easier... I reach for Ruby first whenever I have a problem I need solved.

You’re working backwards here from Cisco’s marketing material. Just because someone in Cisco’s marketing team was smart enough to realise they could market NAT as a security feature, doesn’t mean it was designed to be a firewall.

Apple advertises their iPads as “computer replacements”, that doesn’t mean the iPad was originally designed to be a computer replacement, and it certainly doesn’t make iPads a good computer replacement for many people.

I would also highlight that Cisco PIX had a dedicated firewall layer in addition to its NAT layer, which provided much more capabilities than the NAT layer alone. The fact that these two layers intelligently built on each other is just good implementation engineering, it doesn’t change the fundamental fact that NAT isn’t, and never has been, a proper security tool.
Can they square “we know how to build AGI” with “a bunch of our executive team has left in the past 12 months when they clearly knew what he was talking about”? Why would you leave if AGI was just around the corner?

(Which is to say, it isn’t. This has to be LLMs: the final frontier)
A whole lot of words that didn't say much about specifics of the past or specifics of the future, just pablum and positive spins. It read as if he had an LLM help out (derogatory).

"We are beginning to turn our aim beyond that, to superintelligence in the true sense of the word. We love our current products, but we are here for the glorious future. With superintelligence, we can do anything else. Superintelligent tools could massively accelerate scientific discovery and innovation well beyond what we are capable of doing on our own, and in turn massively increase abundance and prosperity."

Claiming superintelligence in this post in this form with how little LLMs are able to consistently be accurately true is beyond wishful thinking, entering magical, though throughout it all is still the stink of Fraud.
Do I understand it right that excluding the two metal layers, there's only a single "layer" of "logic" inside? I reckon newer CPUs have multiple, making imaging based reversing more difficult?

Can anyone with any maritime knowledge answer:

1) How easy would it be to deliberately time an anchor drop to damage a cable?

2) Why would a ship drop anchor outside a port? Is this a malfunction that happens a lot, or is it rare/unheard of?

Taiwan is under constant pressure from China, a lot of it incredibly petty, so there's a motive for a deliberate cable cut. But I'm unsure of the viability of using a rusty civilian ship to do this.

EDIT: and which cable was it? The nearest to Keelung is the ACPN-2 branch linking Tamsui, Taiwan to Shantou, China.

EDIT2: read the article more carefully, it was this one:

https://www.submarinecablemap.com/submarine-cable/trans-paci...

quite far north of keelung to drop anchor, but as aforementioned I am ignorant of maritime operations.

In the US with its liability lawsuit culture yes. Elsewhere operating as a sole proprietor is not always such a terrible idea.

This goes with the same agenda with the World Economic Forum (WEF) of "Collaboration for the Intelligent Age" [0] which Sam is also attempting to coin this with a similar title (The "Intelligence" / "Intelligent" Age). [1]

It will be no surprise the he will be invited to tell us all about how AGI will bring the utopia of Universal Basic Income (UBI) to everyone and save the world for the "benefit of humanity".

The truth is, "AGI" is a massive scam to raise more money to inevitably replace workers with AI and race all of it to zero, without any alternative for those lost jobs.

I was with you until the last paragraph. How do SLAPP laws intimidate people into silence? Their purpose is to combat the use of legal means to silence speech, so it seems the opposite is true.

Further, if SLAPP laws did burden speech, then that would be a first amendment issue since they are enacted by states which are bound by it.

Naturally no comments on change in governance or profit structure in these reflections.

He comments on the founding of OpenAI as though OpenAI the, currently, capped-profit company and OpenAI the non-profit which today controls it are the same thing. They are not and they are planned to be split, a split that cannot possibly be justifiable under the OpenAI (the non-profit) charter.

As I watch OpenAI's structural development over time, it becomes increasingly clear that the wildly incompetent board of OpenAI had something justifiable in their firing of Sam.

> There was a similar accident in Hiroshima, Japan several years ago: Airbus A320-200 skidded past the end of the runway at similar speed and struck down ILS. It eventually stopped -- damaged the airplane but no fatality.

Are you talking about Asiana Airlines 162? It hit localizer on its way to the runway because it came in too low. It then hit the runway, skidded on the runway, and stopped about halfway (after veering off the runway at the last moment).

If the same thing happened in Muan, the plane would have hit the localizer and then touched down, stopping in the runway. The fact that the localizer's base was concrete wouldn't have mattered because that's not where the plane would hit it.
