SpaceX moved fast, broke things, and still did pretty well on their safety-critical Dragon program, all things considered.

But SpaceX is solving a simpler problem because it’s a greenfield program (aside from docking with ISS, but there’s a spec and they implemented it). ATC involves interactions with the entire existing enormous worldwide fleet of aircraft and pilots.

All that being said, a system that allocates certain volumes of airspace to aircraft and alerts aircraft if they are on a trajectory likely to encroach on someone else’s allocated airspace seems doable and maybe even doable in a backwards compatible way. But this, by itself, would not meaningfully increase capacity.

And I agree this is silly and unfortunate. SFO, for example, has two parallel runways, and airplanes can only land simultaneously on them if visibility is very good. Surely modern GNSS plus radio (which can do time-of-flight and direction measurements with modern technology!) plus inertial measurement could let a cooperating pair of planes maintain appropriate separation and land simultaneously, safely, with zero visibility, even under conditions of active attack by a hostile system. But that would require a kind of competence and cooperation between the government and vendors that does not currently exist.
Well if my DHL shipment from shenzhen gets blocked, I'll let you know.

I'm guessing Aliexpress choice fills up entire shipping containers shipping them to contractors on the ports. Once inside the US it's simply a matter of relabeling packages with a USPS sticker.

If Wal-Mart, e.g., can no longer import containers from China, well, Wal-mart would be fucked long faster than Aliexpress.

Does anyone know how much it would cost to put this together? How much does it cost to fine tune Lama 3.1 on someone's Slack messages?

I'm guessing it depends on the number of messages, but roughly for 10k-100k messages, at 200 characters each (guessing about 50 tokens each, so 500k-5M tokens)?
Can you give details of China’s environment plan?. All I hear about are the dozens of coal plants China builds each year. Are they no longer building those plants?
I made a small utility to solve a personal pain point when submitting projects to directory sites and building web collections.

The problem: When submitting product to directories or building a web directory, you need screenshots, metadata, and content snippets for each site. Manually capturing these assets is tedious and time-consuming.

It's a simple tool that:
- Takes screenshots
- Extracts basic metadata (title, description, favicon)
- Captures page content

If you deal with similar tasks, I'd appreciate any feedback on how to make it more useful.
> technology hasn't increased the number of planes or amount of airspace one ATC can manage

which should put pressure on the entity managing the ATC to increase an ATC's productivity via tech. And yet this hasn't happened. So why is that?

I say at a guess, that capitalism isn't working for the entity that manages ATC, because that entity is immune to the pressures of capitalism - ala, federal gov't doesn't care that these ATC isn't as "profitable".

In a scenario where different ATC zones are managed by separate, private entities that are looking to make a profit (e.g., the higher number planes in a single ATC zone, the more they profit) would spend to improve ATC's individual capacity.
The Laboratory for RNA-Based Lifeforms | University of Toronto | Full-Time | ONSITE | RNAlab.ca

Howdy, The Laboratory of RNA-Based Lifeforms based out of UofT is looking for post-doctoral fellows, independent researchers, and/or a cloud engineer. We're a research computational biology lab at the forefront of massive scale genetics analysis (think petabytes). We have two ongoing projects: (1) Serratus focuses on the discovery of novel RNA viruses and RNA infectious agents. Currently we're focusing on identifying cancer-causing viruses in humans. By identifying these viruses, we can develop treatments for them. (2) PlastiDB is a new project where we are searching for enzymes which are capable of bio-remediating microplastics. By reducing microplastics in our environment, we're building a cleaner world for the future.

Seeking a full-stack developer who is creative, passionate, and willing to learn. No biology experience is necessary, but it's an asset. Key skills: Python/R, AWS/HPC, postgres, Neo4j/graph databases, javascript. See full job posting on https://www.rnalab.ca/join

Is there a primary source for sending "additional troops" by Mexico? All I found was the twitter post from Mexico's president:

And the summary of the speech on on instagram:

Neither confirm additional troops rather than just having 10k at the border.
It's really sad if you think about it.

Nowhere in time has freedom of speech been enshrined and creation been easier. But we just can't seem to take advantage of all the freedom and tools that we have at our disposal.
What is true is already so.
Owning up to it doesn't make it worse.

Since at least 2018, there's been a planned upgrade to the borrow checker to permit certain patterns that it currently rejects [0]. Also since 2018, there's been an implementation of the new version (called Polonius) that can be enabled with an unstable compiler flag [1].

But now it's 2025, and the new version still hasn't been enabled on stable Rust, since the Polonius implementation is seen as far too slow for larger programs. (I'm not exactly sure how horrible it really is, I haven't looked at the numbers.) A big goal of the types team since last year has been to reimplement a faster version within rustc [2].

I'd count this as a language feature (albeit a relatively minor one) that's been greatly deferred in favor of shorter compile times.

Any window that is based on good old Win32 API title bar will have proper title bar accent color (ex: Run dialog) BUT the new generation of WinUI based windows wont have this coz it looks like they render their own "header bar" or something.

WinUI right now is so bad that even resizing the window show partial blank area that you can see before the whole area gets repainted again.

I'm glad to have lived in a country where they had strict lock downs pre-vaccine. I imagine there are funerals I didn't have to go to as a result. But flip side people could claim I was under martial law etc. stripped of my freedoms.

National security is only valued when it’s convenient. This is America we have SecDef Alcoholic, we store nuclear secrets in the shitter and apparently TikTok is ok now.
The fundamental definition of a democracy is that the candidate who wins the election, gets to be in power. Trump lost the 2020 election, yet tried to stay in power. If Trump had succeeded at staying in power despite losing the election, then America would no longer have met the definition of a democracy. Therefore, Trump tried to overturn American democracy.

Do you recognize that Trump tried to overturn American democracy? If not: which part of the above paragraph do you disagree with?

In your comment, you seem to be referring to the fact that Trump didn't specifically call for violence on Jan 6. Depending on how exactly you define "coup", you could argue that Trump didn't personally attempt a coup, but rather Trump's supporters attempted a coup on his behalf while he cheered them on (and subsequently pardoned them). I think this is an irrelevant technicality; if Trump's supporters' attempted coup had succeeded, then American democracy would be just as dead as if Trump personally committed the coup.

Returning to the original topic: If you consider Trump's entire conduct around the 2020 election (as well as his extensive history of other dishonesty and lawbreaking) do you genuinely believe that the Democrats still owe Trump a presumption of good faith?

Houses are insured for replacement value, not market value.

So, if it costs $6M to rebuild a $600K house due to construction labor shortages and permitting bullshit, you still need to insure for $6M.

It’s basically never a financially good idea to build a house in California, since market value will be below construction cost. (Otherwise, we’d have a housing boom instead of a housing shortage!)

So, decreasing the supply of buildable land (as your proposal would do) will only make housing prices go up.

Worse, all the major cities are prone to flooding and hurricane-force storms thanks to climate change, so we’d need to disallow building there too. That’s on top of earthquake risk.
The vast majority of aviation mishaps are entirely due to pilot error or mechanical failure. It would be stupid to count those when evaluating controllers. But the FAA does already have a rigorous process to deal with controllers who make safety errors.

Paying too much can be counterproductive, if the job is demanding, people don't find it inherently rewarding, and most people are not qualified for it. If you earn enough to retire after 10 years, you also earn enough to feel financially secure after 3 years, quit, and find a better job.

>You say government is not like code, then what exactly is it?

Government is mostly individuals deciding goals and attempting to convince others. Then rules are added to prevent harm to others or using corrupt methods of convincing. That "code" part is more like a moderated forum: necessary for the huge task, but it's just the framework for the actual content.

>Historical governments often needed little beyond an army and a tax collection system.

And historical computers used vacuum tubes. What's your point?

>The tech way of thinking has proven extremely successful in many industries already.

Even in tech companies, the richest people are almost always the smooth talkers. Because the best, and really only, way to get money is convincing somebody else to give it to you. You can do it by offering a better product or charming them.

Most government goals aren't technically difficult and certainly don't require advanced algorithms or fast computers. The real work is aligning people.

There is a difference between consolidation to a few different powers and consolidation to just one.

Also, AFAIK all of those nations consolidated because of military conquest. Countless European wars and empires.

The EU isn't like that, but they're an alliance and not one country. You can't just leave a country like England did.

That does not a riot make.

It is still a peaceful protest, whether you like it or not, contingent on the definition of "peaceful" being the absence of violence.

You do not have to like the outcome of a protest, but if it is not a violent one, you are expected here to describe it in accurate language.

You are not doing that.

To illustrate my point: your logic dictates that not pulling over for an emergency vehicle is tantamount to assault. It is not, and should never be in any rational society. Agree? Disagree?

Not useful, but ultimately true.

People have the incentive to not do evil and to do evil for money. When you abstract the evil away into 1 vote out of thousands then you abstract responsibility and everyone ends up in aggregate doing an inconsequential evil and it adds up to a big evil.

I loved this deep-dive of zig.

What does "global to your whole program" mean? I'd expect types to be available to the whole compilation unit. I'm also weirded out by the fact that zig has a distinct error type. Why? Why not represent errors as normal records?

That's what makes it effective. That's the point. A protest that doesn't affect anyone is just performative. Protests aren't to spread the word. It's to jam up the gears, aka, sabotage, to make leaders act. "You're just making us late to work, it's not causing us to join your side!" Jamming up commerce and the functions of a city is how you get people to act. Not by filling out a permit to have a block party in a park. That's a rally, not a protest.
It does come with a IO shield / backplate for the ports.
40 hours per week.

Most people work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Some work 10 hours a day, 4 days a week. A few work 10 hours one day, 6 hours a second day, and 8 hours the third/fourth/fifth days.

Many facilities are 24/7 so we have rotating schedules where people have to work the midnight shifts. Shift work is brutal.

Most controllers also work Saturdays and Sundays. Controllers often miss their kid's activities and other family or social functions.

Standard Federal leave accrual:
- 4 hours of sick leave every pay period (two weeks).
- Employees with 0-3 years accrue 4 hours of annual leave per pay period.
- Employees with 3-15 years accrue 6 hours...
- Employees with 15+ years accrue 8 hours...

We bid once a year for our RDOs (Regular Days Off aka "weekend") and annual leave for the following year.

Some controllers advocate that we should accrue more sick leave (and they make good points), and while the 4 hours may be a federal law, they could implement work-arounds such as allowing us to accrue an additional different type of leave.

Opinions are my own and not necessarily of the FAA.

I'm sorry, but I read the first line of this paper and was already confuzzled: "Cannabis use is prevalent in schizophrenia and its risk states, despite its association with anxiety and positive symptoms."

Did they mean "schizophrenic patients" or is this some type of shorthand in which medical paper authors use the names medical conditions without explicitly referring to the patients themselves?

This is just really weird wording to me - to the point where I question it's legitimacy.
It's the paperwork. Most people have no idea the amount of paperwork doctors have to fill out - it adds up to 20-30 hours of it per week. It's getting close to a full time job by itself. Think about how pleasant the experience is of filling out bureaucratic/government paperwork, and now imagine doing that as a full time job.
Speech doesn’t have to be verbal.
I have lately been writing a decent amount of Svelte. Svelte and frontend in general is relatively new to me, but since I’ve been programming for a while now I can usually articulate what I want to do in English. LLMs are totally a game changer for me in this scenario - they basically take me from someone who has to look everything up all the time to someone who only does so a couple times a day.

In a way LLMs are ushering in a kind of boilerplate renaissance IMO. When you can have an LLM refactor a massive amount of boilerplate in one fell swoop it starts to not matter much if you repeat yourself - actually, really logically dense code would probably be harder for LLMs to understand and modify (not dissimilar from us…) so it’s even more of a liability now than in the past. I would almost always rather have simple, easy-to-understand code than something elegant and compact and “expressive” - and our tools increasingly favor this too.

Also I really don’t give a shit about how to best center a div nor do I want to memorize a million different markup tags and their 25 years of baggage. I don’t find that kind of knowledge gratifying because it’s more trivia than anything insightful. I’m glad that with LLMs I can minimize the time I spend thinking about those things.
