I got a lesson in how ATC works with helicopters up close and personal on a helicopter tour. ATC had the helo pilot hold position while an airplane was on final approach. I asked the pilot why we needed to hold as we could clearly see the aircraft and were to my lack of knowledge on the subject "plenty" far away. (It actually took me a second to locate the airplane as my sense of scale was not expecting the plane to be so small which is part of why I made the assumption we were plenty far away.) That's when the pilot told me we were not in the way of the approach but if the pilot had to declare a miss (or whatever they call it) and climb to circle around. The helo was near the path for the plane on the abort flight path. Once the plane was on the ground, ATC allowed us to continue.

It was my first experience in an aircraft seeing how ATC controlled the airspace directly. Lots of respect to the folks in ATC with a fraction of understanding in just how much they have to deal with other than the obvious take-off/landings.
Like most illusions, if you can't tell the difference between the fake and the real, they're both real.
Direct them to land in the best location and make sure all other aircraft are on non-intersecting flight paths. What exactly is ATC doing that software isn't able to?

How many options are there for handling emergencies with aircraft now? You pretty much just have either land ASAP or circle to burn fuel and then land.
Everything eventually needs to land, so when you’re talking about an area around an airport, at low altitudes, that’s going to be a difficult thing to do. If you mix in helicopter traffic that needs to run at lower altitudes anyway, that is also near an airport, it becomes a much more difficult scenario to control.

That's still problematic because any model that OpenAI trains can now be "stolen" and essentially rendered "open".
Awesome game, one of my favorites from my childhood.

> Given the strange way the helicopter appeared to fly right into the jet there will be no end to the speculation.

There's an ATC recording. No speculation necessary. The Army helicopter pilot is likely at fault.
Regardless, on average it tends to work out. The amount of iodine in the salt is regulated by measuring uring samples in a large population.
It's hard to generalize. Common microcontroller clock speeds range from 1 to 500 MHz. An 8-bit microcontroller running at 1 MHz will often work fine without any decoupling at all. A 32-bit microcontroller might not even boot without a ceramic capacitor nearby.

The basic answer is basically what the original article says. If you don't want the mental burden of figuring it out, the spec gives you safe defaults that should work for almost all uses. But it's almost never the case that you need to do it that way.

You mean the same FAA people that allowed Boeing to self certify? The FAA is not spotless. I can only imagine how much worse air travel would be without them, but they are only run by humans trying to work in a political controlled environment.
And we also did make it basically impossible for ATC workers to strike, so its not like the ATC workers could have said "fix this shit so people don't die or we will strike" because they can't really and anyone who says it anyways alone is going to be given the boot and blacklisted from the job. Not to mention the amount of training and effort needed to become one in the first place with basically zero job security or recourse if you make the wrong person angry.
The public gives no shit about any of these companies. There are no moats or loyalties in this space. Just individuals and corporations looking for the cheapest tool possible that gets the job close to done.

OpenAi spent investor money to enable random Chinese Ai startups to offer a better version of their own product at a fraction of the cost. In some ways, this was inevitable to be the conclusion, but I do find the way we arrive at this conclusion to be particularly enjoyable to watch playout.

Hiring controllers is not easy. A friend's daughter just went through the hiring process. She graduated from college with an appropriate degree right as COVID hit. Her FAA application wasn't accepted for four years.

This past summer she did the four-week interactive online courses. Applicants must pass this and may not re-enter the program if they do not. After that she did the six-week courses in Oklahoma City. Again, applicants must pass this and may not re-enter the program if they do not. She passed. Only half her class of 20 passed. In the prior class, only 4 of 15 passed.

She declined the position when they could not offer a position within reasonable proximity of her family. She, too, may not re-enter the program. On top of all that, the program has strict age requirements because there's a mandatory retirement age (55, I believe).

There isn't a large pool of applicants and the percentage of successful ones is not high. Considering the amount of lives on the line, it's understandable the hiring criteria is strict. All told, it's not an easy position to fill and even explicit efforts to increase the number of applicants will take years. Just like many other skilled fields.
Anything about civilian air safety is like catnip for nerds. It is the ultimate armchair nerd sport -- speculating about reasons for a civilian air crash. I guess this discussion will be more than 1,000 comments before its heat-death.

I think we should start putting the creator name in front of the app name. This seems to be by Bitcave company so it would be Bitcave Airflow vs Apache Airflow. It would be fine to shorten the name with context but use the full name to distinguish.

As it turns out, first to market only matters if you can actually make a novel moat. Which OpenAi has presently got no chance to do.
I thought it was a VH-60 given that it was callsign PAT25 (PAT is Priority Air Transport and they use the VH-60 for those flights), but if this was a training flight, they may have still used the PAT callsign while flying a UH-60.
Over the past ~1.5 years I've been running a research paper club where we dive into interesting/foundational papers in AI/ML. So we naturally have come across a lot of the papers that lead up to DeepSeek-R1. While diving into the DeepSeek papers this week, I decided to compile a list of papers that we've already gone over or I think would be good background reading to get a bigger picture of what's going on under the hood of DeepSeek.

Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy!

At least this guy can differentiate between running your own model and using the web/mobile app where DeepSeek process your data. I've watched a TV show yesterday (I think it was France24) where the "experts" can't really tell the difference or are not aware of it. Shut down the TV and went to sleep.
It’s simply because banning removes a market force in the US that’d drive technological advancement.

This is already evident with CNSA/NASA, Huawei/Android, TikTok/Western social media. The Western tech gets mothballed because we stick our heads in the sand and pretend we are undisputed leaders of the world in tech, whereas it is slowly becoming disputable.
I did not realize that at all. Thanks for the info!
> The tower will be unstaffed.

Doesn't that just mean there will be no taxi control? My understanding is that ATC isn't in the tower. The tower staff just give clearances for take-off and directions on which runway to land/take-off. In radio clips, you can hear ATC hand-off a plane to tower.
They say the "stop the world" approach that causes more downtime is

Turn off all writes.
Wait for 16 to catch up
Enable writes again — this time they all go to 16

and instead they used a better algorithm:

Pause all writes.
Wait for 16 to catch up.
Resume writes on 16.

These seem pretty similar.

1. What is the difference in the algorithm? Is it just that in the "stop the world" approach the client sees their txns fail until "wait for 16 to catch up" is done? Whereas in the latter approach the client never sees their txns fail, they just have a bit more latency?

2. Why does the second approach result in less downtime?
Thank you for the write up. That's a lot of great information

Seems plausible that cannabis and other things can have a less than desireable effect on the brain growth, especially for the will power, discipline, decision making, motivation that the prefrontal cortex provides.

Not really knowing fully about how type checkers work, one thing I struggled with a fair amount working with Mypy is how the stubs made available from various libraries were both all over the place in quality and not straightforward as a beginner to get working. Is this approach of using stubs a requirement for basically any static type checker that Python uses, or is this a specific way that Mypy chose to implement this concept?
> That said, I still find potheads completely insufferable.

In all fairness, they may find you equally insufferable. And to think, you’re not even a pothead!
> A lot of jobs are truly meaningless, dull, uninteresting, especially in the office space.

If AI lives up to the hype, it will kill most jobs that aren't "meaningless, dull, uninteresting." Shareholders will realize more value if the engaging and creative work is done by mindless AI, and minded humans are relegated to boring monitoring tasks requiring extreme attention and vigilance.
I get a strong sense that they don't actually know what they cut as they stopped paying to guard ISIL prisoners. I could very easily see ATC getting hit by accident. Generally this administration neither thinks nor plans before acting

Perhaps Sublime Text could run some annual anonymous survey?

It could both be an indicator of what the community is doing, and who your users are, and also a way to promote some new features people might have missed (like the survey "state of CSS").

I enjoy both Sublime Text and Sublime Merge almost everyday, thank you very much for making them!

Some annoyances, though:

- the way plugins are displayed inside ST while browsing for them is limited. Other editors usually provide a much better UI. The web version of package control is required in the end.

- Ctrl-P does not the same thing in ST and SM, and it always tricks me. I wished they would be more aligned by default, but that ship has sailed I guess. I should rebind them.

- SM UI can be slow / be unresponsive for a while like when a tool has run and 20k files were created but not part of git ignore yet. It makes deleting them quite difficult from the UI.

- I wish SM would allow me to pick up patch files from the diff UI and import them from there more easily.

- I wish Mac OS dictation would be more native in SM, and allow me to change language like in other Mac OS apps.
What's so special about this other than poisoning straightforward python code with async/await?

Claude message API already accepts a tools=[] parameter. All you need is a json schema of your python class and docs which you can easily generate with a few dozen lines of code.

500 billion for a few US companies yet the Chinese will probably still be better for way less money. This might turn out to be a historical mistake of the new administration.
It could be that the right call was for ATC to deny the request for visual separation and for them to do the deconflicting themselves. Not saying that's the case, I don't know, but that's one way it could be (partially) ATC's fault.
Seeing as OpenAI is on the back foot, I hope nationalistic politicians don’t use this opportunity to strengthen patent laws.

If one could effectively patent software inventions, this would kill many industries, from video games (that all have mechanics of other games in them) to computing in general (fast algorithms, etc). Let’s hope no one gets ideas like that…

Granted, it would be ineffective in competing against China’s tech industry. But less effective laws have been lobbied through in the past.
glad you are using CH :)
In this case there is no or negative value. Wait for the facts, avoid the noise and wild speculation.
I'm not sure what your are arguing here. Even if they are 30 they are well over 1100
TCAS is always active if your transponder mode dial is in such a position, so it always calls out other aircraft that are nearby and could pose a threat of mid-air collision. However, resolution advisories are inhibited near the ground. The last thing you want to be telling a pilot to do is to increase their descent when they're only a thousand feet above terrain -- this would at the very least trigger a more serious GPWS callout, the response to which is drilled into pilots during training -- pull up, directly into the path of the thing TCAS would want you to avoid. If the other aircraft also has TCAS equipped and enabled, and their RAs aren't inhibited, they will still get a climb instruction (both crews usually get opposite instructions in order to maximise the vertical separation).
I definitely think it’ll stay open for charter flights (part 135)
> appropriate degree

what's considered an appropriate degree for ATC?
You've said it, everyone knows this.

You can't build a model out of an object and then say that said object is an instance of the model. The model is an useful derived abstraction that sometines can serve for better understanding reality and making predictions (emphasis in sometimes), but it is not reality itself.
I can imagine Jank being incredible “glue” to start until it takes over by osmosis. (For c++ of course)

The name itself, as for-profit closed source software, is grating.
Were these implementations already easily open source accessible at the time, with tens of thousands of people already actively using them on their computers? No, right? Doesn't seem feasible this time around.

Many roboticists overlook the need for JavaScript in their skill set and tech stack. This is because of the evolution of robotics projects and companies: first you build a prototype and only then do you deploy and scale your fleet. The first part is hard and doesn't require any JS. But the second part is even harder and requires a ton of JS, because without web-tooling you won't be able to operate efficiently. This offers a great opportunity for roboticists to distinguish themselves from others be mastering JS for both the backend (rosnodejs, rclnodejs) and the front-end (React, Transitive Robotics). This sets you apart from both "regular" roboticists and from "pure" web developers.

@1egg0myegg0 that's great to hear. I'll check to see if it applies to Arrow.

Another performance issue with DuckDB/Arrow integration that we've been working to solve is that Arrow lacked a canonical way to pass statistics along with a stream of data. So for example if you're reading Parquet files and passing them to DuckDB, you would lose the ability to pass the Parquet column statistics to DuckDB for things like join order optimization. We recently added an API to Arrow to enable passing statistics, and the DuckDB devs are working to implement this. Discussion at https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/38837.

I picked up weed in my mid 30s and now in my late 30s am a heavy user. Sometimes I take an edible and hack on a hard problem in the middle of the workday and it turns it into a fun challenge rather than a stressful endeavor. I think finding weed at this stage in my life has made me more introspective and certainly a better husband and person. I also quit drinking a few years ago and weed plus no alcohol has made my life immensely better.

Helicopter flies at 200ft.
Planes landing have to traverse through 200ft. Therefore vertical separation impossible.

Because its not possible mathematically. Those who pay more get the boost for the same target audience everyone else is trying to capture.

Notice it has nothing to do with quality of product or service. Just who pays the Platform more. If you are not getting attention. The platform tells you to pay more for it or that you be more engaging. This has nothing to do with product being sold.

Its classic middle man monopoly behavior. People cant do anything about it because its a system wide problem with a platform economy.
That doesn't change that C# was designed with that philosophy in mind. The two statements aren't mutually exclusive.

Is there a scenario where it isn’t?

Either (1) a competitor is able to do it better without their work or (2) a competitor is able to use their output and develop a better product.

Either way, given the costs, how do you justify investing in OpenAI if the competitor is going to eat their lunch and you’ll never get a return on your investment?
Route 4 (the helicopter route along the river) has a maximum altitude of 200 feet for helicopter. From the crash it seemed like the helicopter pilot wasn't strictly following the ceiling.

Take a look at Fig. 1 here [0]. That image was taken using muscle biopsy from someone suffering from a metabolic condition.

We can clearly see and observe affected spots in tissues using direct material extraction (biopsy). However, not all parts of the body are easily reachable using that method without causing more harm to a living organism. The effect is also observable using CT scanning (way less conclusive).

So the last paragraph is quite real, unfortunately. I presume that a tiny part of the brain/nervous system dies when you have a metabolic panic attack, because there is a pronounced cognitive decline after each such attack.

Perhaps a few years ago, yes. But considering that the US president is now threatening to invade and annex part of a European country, I don't think past results can be extrapolated to the present.
Because right now airplanes are flown by humans. A large part of atcs jobs is dealing with humans. Not every pilot will be able to fly the optimum flight path.
That was clearly a training flight
