Any accident like this is an accident - none of the pilots or ATCs woke up and decided to kill dozens of people. (Including themselves in the pilots case)

That said, conditions in the ATC facility were likely a contributor, and the overall management and control environment of the FAA created those conditions. Frankly, the Elon stuff is insane, and who knows if the people who approve the overtime, etc exist anymore.

Trump deserves blame for the circus and harm created by his administration’s irresponsibility and recklessness. But he didn’t crash a plane.
That steam reforming process also produces a lot of CO2 which is great for injecting into old oil wells to increase production levels.

Civil Infrastructure Platform
This is actually the answer.

Diesel generators running at a fixed duty cycle and optimized for efficiency can be way more efficient than a mobile diesel engine operating at a wide range of workloads.

"Diesel" can run on a variety of fuels (diesel, natural gas, propane, etc) so you could probably start synthesizing the fuels if you've somehow got a bunch of energy that'd otherwise be wasted; methane's still a bit of a pain to deal with but not nearly as nasty as H2; for feeding remote generators you'd just compress it not liquefy it, and that's something that's already commonplace today.
But which way does the causality run?
I have tried every tool that gets recommended to me as a substitute for in person whiteboarding, and nothing comes close to the tactility of IRL ones. I've always found the online versions become a one person show rather than actually collaborative and handing pens back and forth.
There's differences to what kind of configuration you'd want to have in a config file (or environment variables, or some other "system level" management tooling) versus a feature flagging system.

In my experience, feature flagging is more application-level than system-level. What I mean by that is, feature flagging is for stuff like: roll this feature out to 10% of users, or to users in North America, or to users who have opted into beta features; enable this feature and report conversion metrics (aka A/B testing); enable this experimental speedup for 15 minutes so we can measure the performance increase. It's stuff that you want to change at runtime, through centralized tooling with e.g. auditing and alerting, without restarting all of your application servers. It's a bit different than config for like "what's the database host and user", stuff that you don't want to change after initialization (generally).

Regarding the article though, early on your deployment pipeline should be fast enough that updating a hardcoded JSON file and redeploying is just as easy as updating a feature flag, so I agree it's not something to invest in if you're still trying to get your first 1000 users.

Flavors of Overfitting
I believe that this long game of Swift being "good for everything" but "better for Apple platforms" will be detrimental to the language. This does not help the language nor seems to bring more people to the ecosystem.

Competitors seems to have a combination of:
- Being more open-source
- Have more contributors
- Have a narrower scope

Maybe they should consider open sourcing all the tooling (like Xcode) otherwise the gap will only grow over time when compared to other languages.
From the source, it looks like bzip3 defaults to 1 thread if not explicitly set by arguments.
You are not just your ADHD.

It sounds to me you just have a name for the weight you've been unknowingly fighting your whole life.

I don't think any of that other stuff is true, either. Your life with ADHD gave you a perspective others don't get which likely informed and encouraged those assessments, but that doesn't make them wrong.

Lot's of people live great live swith untreated ADHD. And it looks like you have to, you just didn't know that's what you were doing.

During his time as prime minister he has ruined the Netherlands.

Also under his watch, hundreds - maybe thousands - of families were ruined, both financially and socially, by the Dutch IRS ("toeslagenschandaal" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_childcare_benefits_scand...)

In other words: He loves to make and see people suffer. And now he has the authority to not do that just to the Dutch, my people, but to EVERYONE.

Most of you out here despise Donald Trump. Most of the people in the Netherlands despise Mark Rutte as much as you despise Donald Trump. Hell, we probably even despise Rutte even more than you despise Trump (!).

Yes, he is that evil.
I assume you want ammunition against your own arguments. But I'm confused about what you're asking: you were talking in your original comment about the _admissions_ process to ATC academy, and now you're talking about the process to _graduate_ from ATC academy. So let me see if I'm clear about what you're asking: despite the fact that aptitude requirements to get into ATC academy did not change, are you asking about whether the standards to _leave_ ATC academy were lowered? What would an answer to that question prove?
Do you mirror these data sets anywhere?

This is honestly the first time I’ve ever heard someone online put their own country down and give the US some credit. I’m so used to us being the butt of anger and jokes that this is kind of refreshing to read.

> had artists and rebels and seekers and every other kind of misfit that made life interesting and unique and challenging to the status quo.

It's definitely interesting to read stories about such people, especially those that lived long ago or are fictional characters in the first place. The notion of being a misfit is romantic and gratifies our imagination. However, what those "misfits" and "rebels" actually were is people who suffered, or caused everyone around them to suffer, or both. Few of them, or those in their proximity, enjoyed their fate.

Are such people important to society? In some cases, yes. Do I want to be such an important person? No thank you, I'll happily read about them on the news.
Some enterprises have trained small specialized models based on proprietary data.

I think it's unfortunate if this is your only take away.

Two things can be true at once:

A) Diversity hiring is unrelated to the crash

B) There is a real scandal with hiring and the FAA

What I have read so far about this situation is outrageous. My understanding is that in 2014, Obama appointed a head of the FAA who wanted to diversify the workforce.

They introduced a biographical questionnaire which had rather arbitrary criteria for passing. It appears to have been explicitly designed to fail people that do not know the magical answers. The failure rate was 90%.

This is not the only example, but perhaps the most egregious questions: you are asked what your best subject was in highschool. If you answered science, you get 15 points (a substantial amount). No points for any other subject. Next, you're asked your best subject in college. If you answer history, you get 15 points. No points for any other subject.

Here is an alleged recreation of the test: https://kaisoapbox.com/projects/faa_biographical_assessment/

There are supposedly voicemails in which they helped select candidates pass this biographical questionnaire by providing their preferred race/gendered candidates with the answers. I haven't been able to find a voice mail online, but Fox Business reported that these voicemails exist.

Per a 2016 Yahoo Finance article, an internal FAA report falsely cleared the employee of wrongdoing.

It's my understanding that there is currently a lawsuit making its way through the courts regarding this. It's also my understanding that some allege that the problems are not all resolved yet with hiring, despite the questionnaire being withdrawn in 2018. I'm not sure of the specifics of how there may still be problems with hiring and the FAA.

Doesn’t that depend on the buyer? I can think of several products that I would only use if free, and would go without if it was $1, $5, or $10. E.g. todo list apps, time tracker apps, budgeting apps.

I think you can argue that, if you have enough demand at $10, that you’ll have enough at $0, but I don’t see how not having demand at $10 implies that you won’t have demand at $0, since usually making something cheaper can change buyer’s minds.

For me it is a question of "is the config valid for the life of this process" vs. "is this config something that might change while this process is alive".
The facts seem to be that a helicopter diverted from its published course (300 feet rather than 100 feet) and made a reckless, fatal mistake. TCAS was too late or not usable at that low altitude. The controller - who had previously warned of inbound traffic and passed responsible to the pilot by putting them in visual separation, which was in turn confirmed - was also too late.

Hire more controllers? Sure, maybe, but I can't help but think this was very avoidable using technology and training.
> Those can run on methanol or synthetic fuels.

And how are these synthfuels made? They all (except of biofuel, which as I said is ethically questionable) require hydrogen as precursor, and that's my point. It's all carbohydrates, which means you need hydrogen and oxygen (these you can get from water electrolysis) and carbon (these you can get from e.g. CO2 sequestration).
I was reading about the Order of Cistercians the other day, and I am reminded of this passage from wikipedia:

Relaxations were gradually introduced into Cistercian life with regard to diet and simplicity of life. Also, they began accepting the traditional sources of income that monks in comparable orders used: like rents, tolls, and benefices. The agricultural operations were blessed by success. Wealth and splendour characterized the monasteries, so that by 1300, the standard of living in most abbeys was comparable, if not higher, than the standards middling nobles enjoyed.[59]

Studies in medieval Cistercian history. Kalamazoo, Michigan: Cistercian Publications. p. 57. ISBN 978-0-87907-984-0. "A study [Watzl 1978] done for the Lower-Austrian abbey of Heiligenkreuz demonstrates that in the first half of the fifteenth century, no fewer than 201-207 days of the year saw extra food."
What is being discussed in the article has been happening for a decade. It's not something sudden or new, and as such, "harping" on the past safety record is an accurate forecast.

This paper is over 1 year old and didn't review the literature at the time well enough to see the early work that led to current generation reasoning models.

Now it's out of date, automated RL on math problems seems to work and scales with compute. As we scale available compute 100x over the next 5 years and reduce cost of compute by around 10x over the same time frame, it will become increasing clear that LLMs running for a long time are capable of replacing most mathematics research.

To be honest I have not done a deep research and I would not trust research on this topic unless it's done by a third party analysing all aspects of Apple Intelligence. So take everything with little grain of salt.

But to give you a prominent example of what Apple devices do currently (and for example Android does not):

It analyses with local AI all your images on your device. So there is clearly a classification happening here on every image you saved.

A worst case scenario: You downloaded an illegal image by mistake (of what nature whatever), local AI indentifies it. You get reported to authorities for doing illegal things. Apple and phone helps police.

And now just imagine all sort of other AI analysis e.g. on your Apple notes etc. and do your own conclusion.

Apple says: no, we won't do that. Well maybe I feel safer if the technology for allowing to do such things is not even on my device or activated at all. The line of protection of my privacy lies a little bit too much in Apple's hands in my opinion. I don't like it and I don't trust on device AI.
I'm sure this is multifactorial and the other factors are probably as or more important, but especially if you are familiar with the very egregious specifics of the FAA diversity hiring scandal (https://www.tracingwoodgrains.com/p/the-faas-hiring-scandal-...), "is unsupportable" here is a strong claim that is playing the classic and well-worn role that "there's no evidence" often does in bad journalism: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/the-phrase-no-evidence-is-a...

LiteGUI/SiteGUI Differences

LiteGUI/SiteGUI is a hybrid CMS that caters for both mobile apps and web apps. Every Model/Class will return one or more ViewBlocks that contain API root variable ($api) and optionally HTML helper root variable ($html) that can be consumed by API clients or utilized by the built-in View layer to render HTML from PHP Smarty templates server side. This means no separated API codebase is needed, Models/Classes are and should be developed using API first principle with additional on-demand HTML helpers. The integrated rate limiting engine is also capable of detecting API/non-API requests and applying thresholds accordingly. With this flexibility, LiteGUI/SiteGUI can be used as a stand-alone web app (server side rendering) or serves as the backend for other client side rendering (front-end) frameworks (NextJS, ReactJS etc) and mobile apps.

LiteGUI/SiteGUI is also the first CMS that employs sub-domains/sandboxing for mitigating XSS attacks. As LiteGUI/SiteGUI supports 3rd-party templates/themes, this mitigation strategy helps protect site owners from all types of XSS attacks (stored, reflected or DOM-based) that may (accidentally) be brought into their sites from 3rd party templates/themes. LiteGUI/SiteGUI uses a dedicated sub-domain for managing/submitting sensitive data and another sub-domain (loaded in a frame) for managing arbitrary contents and widgets (sandboxing). The advantage of sandboxing is that LiteGUI/SiteGUI can accept raw HTML content produced by a WYSIWYG editor or even through the browser's developer console, there is no need to use non-HTML editor like Markdown for editing the content. The main domain can display arbitrary contents (produced by site editors) as sensitive write operations are limited on the main domain. Despite using different sub-domains to avoid sharing cookies/authentication, the transitions/experience are seamless as LiteGUI/SiteGUI employs resource-based time-constraint token to automatically pass authenticated user information between sub-domains.
In years of trying to sell things I've found that one of the best selling points to management is "susceptible to vendor lock-in", "you don't own your customer database", etc.

> Yes, the rule is arbitrary, but that doesn't make it valueless.

We need to distinguish between the rules that make sense (everyone driving on the same side of the road) and those that don't (everyone writing using the same hand). Often the existence of the former is used as an excuse for the latter.
I remember the last release cycle, all the marketing taglines were “the new iPhone with titanium” and I remember thinking “this means nothing to me.”

Now it’s “the new iPhone with Apple Intelligence” and I’m thinking “this still means nothing to me.”
Heck if your user system is just a Users table, you don’t even really need to consider build vs buy for them either.

If you start doing it for sub-groups, hard agree but this is a space where it almost always pays dividends to roll your own first. The size of a company that needs to consider adding feature flags (versus one that already has them) is typically that in which building your own is quicker, cheaper, and most importantly: simpler.

Visual separation at night in dense airspace has no checks and no margin for error. There is no way for anyone to tell whether the crew is tracking the correct aircraft or whether they are correctly guessing its attitude etc.

That practice is plainly asking for an accident to happen.
That is way up there too, good catch.

After going through the hiring process (application, test, drug screen, medical screening), they give you an academy start date and whether you'll be Terminal or En Route.

People who pass the Terminal training at the FAA Academy are given a list of low-level (lower pay) towers to choose from that are seemingly-random. It could be that there's a spot at a tower in your home town, but that spot is reserved for the class that graduates one week after your class, which means you can't go there, you have to take from the list you're given or quit (and some people do quit at this point).
