I had one of those. I thought he was fooling upper management until I started working directly with the CTO, who was very open about the fact that this VP was more about performance than execution. He explained that the guy’s overwhelming desire to look good and be viewed as a thought leader also made him very receptive to incentives. You could give him a task, tell him it was important for his career, and he’d get it done because he was so afraid of looking bad. If it was something he could write about on LinkedIn or his personal newsletter, even better.

The challenge was setting the incentives correctly so he couldn’t game them. He was tasked with hiring a team to accomplish some specific goal once and the first set of people he tried to hire were not qualified at all, they were just the first people he could get to interview and want to join. You had to watch him like a hawk to make sure he wasn’t running yet another performative game.

The other weird part is that a lot of candidates were really impressed by him. He dressed well and had hair that obviously took a long time to do every morning and he spoke with confidence. This was remarkably effective at convincing many candidates that he knew what he was doing and could run a tight ship. Lot of disappointed people trying to leave his team after the first 6 months.
No, that's when they open sourced it. It was designed in 2018/early 2019 and picked up the May 2019 RVV spec. By late 2021 I already had a commercially sold C910 dev board (RVB ICE).

I don't think there can be a single simple answer to that question.
I think he's right that there's a place for a more structured AI programming UI, but chat and autocomplete are also good for a lot of use cases.
They're not going to want to fly to a tiny airport in the middle of nowhere and then have to drive into the city. That defeats the whole point
It is already moribund to the point of uselessness, yet it is still imposing enormous economic costs on the entire country. If it's goal was to maintain the ability of the US to build and staff ships, then it has utterly and completely failed, and yet it's costs remain. I have never heard a compelling argument why we should keep it.

Without it, we probably wouldn't have a thriving US shipbuilding industry, but we would have significantly (probably orders of magnitude more) intra-state shipping, which would require more ships that would most likely come from close allies which would boost _their_ shipping industry.

For strategic purposes, obviously having our own shipping industry would be better, but that's apparently not on the table. I'll take, as a close second best option, an improved shipbuilding industry of our allies, with a heaping side helping of massive economic benefit.
Think the qualification is to get into the training program, presumably air traffic controllers who develop near nearsightedness later in life aren't summarily fired.

Still, seems like a crazy requirement.
That's a different situation, because at least there it could be argued the damage was ultimately Seacat's fault for engaging in a shoot out with law enforcement on someone else's private property; the police were just doing their job apprehending an armed suspect. With a drug test that comes back negative, the person being tested clearly isn't at fault.

That said, I think it does probably make sense for there to be some sort of financial incentive for police to not create more collateral damage than necessary. Like maybe the damages should come out of the department budget initially and then they could get a judge to decide how much of that was the suspect's fault and recover that amount from them, assuming they can pay? Policing is a social service and I don't think externalizing the costs of social services onto innocent bystanders is a good idea; it makes the agency less accountable for the monetary costs they incur if those costs aren't tracked as part of their budget, and it's bad PR.
This sounds a little "reductio ad absurdum" - "we can't stop anyone from doing anything".

This... might be what I need to do honestly. I've thought about a good way to save some links I find on HN, and its painful to go back through pages. Heck, sometimes I lose my own comments. A blog might just be the way to regain access to lost content from HN.
Flight deck.

Also it was just a recommendation as far as my searching can find, for example https://www.nationalreview.com/news/faa-panel-recommends-cha...

This summary of a 2024 FAA re-authorization has the word 'cockpit' 6 times, so I'm dubious that much was done with that recommendation.
Even so, I think the incentives are still for the Vanguard management to make as little profit as possible so that they can compete and have more funds under management. Controlling more billions of dollars of stock shares is kind of its own reward and brings many opportunities for enrichment, and if they don't have to worry about making money for shareholders, they can pretty much always engineer the lowest fees.
I think they're referring to the unelected people doing illegal things completely unchecked (currently)?
I think you’re having a bad day, and I recommend taking a break.

I will not be engaging with your comments.
Because we want it to hit us harder. We can call it extra precautions or maybe China cares less, put it under whatever label you want. It is incredibly low risk for the avian flu to be transferred through eggs to humans. Also the avian flu is impact on humans once you get it is generally very low risk as well.

There are always exceptions to both of these and people panic over the exceptions rather than accepting some amount of risk. We also seem to have given up on the idea of people making individual choices about risk profiles and instead default everyone into the category of "the government is here to save you". China, doesn't have this same outlook.
> Do you know how much the FAA spent renaming “cockpit” and changing Notice to Airmen to Notice to Air Missions in all FAA publications?

Do you? Because I'm guessing it was virtually nothing. That does not sound like a particularly costly activity.

> If people want to criticize the current changes as wasting money, then it’s intellectually dishonest not to call out other agencies

This is the definition of whataboutism. Also, "wasting money" is not near the top of my list of the problems with government agencies being told they're not allowed to mention women.
It's fun to think about, but if you want to really reign in the C-suite, you need to start setting up systems within companies that allow for the rank-and-file to replace bad CEOs.

We've spent the last 80 years (ostensibly) talking about how great representative government is, then we let people own a majority of voting shares so that they can run companies like dictatorships. I've worked at a company that could have remained more competitive (and done a better job of maintaining software that is critical to human life) if there had been more uptake of ideas from workers instead of simply trying to make shareholders happy.
Apple Invites
HN has fallen. It's infested with operatives and shills. Waving the site guidelines at me for offering a modicum of balance is the wrong way. Either ban all political commentary or let 'em cook. Putting me in a timeout for mild snark? It wasn't always like this.
Vanguard recently made two horrible mistakes: 1. a typical "Grand UI Redesign" that made the site worse and removed a bunch of previously working features, and 2. They made all their users "migrate" their accounts from one type to another, a process that I found to be error prone and clunky.

For 1, all of us software people have seen companies do this over and over, and it always sucks. For 2, why they couldn't do whatever backend migration they needed to do without having it disrupting retail customers, I have no idea.

Both of those point to a software organization way below where it needs to be competence-wise.
Most people don't have a home connection like that but I'm not sure it really matters.

The mainstream has generally accepted a music streaming subscription as a much more convenient alternative to routine piracy and has mostly gotten out of the habit of purchasing music whether digital or on-disc.

Promotes antisemites on Twitter, says Jews have been stoking anti-white racism and deserve no sympathy, did multiple Nazi salutes, and then went to Germany to support the AfD and say they need to stop feeling guilty for their Nazi past. Yeah, Elon is a Nazi.
If you know the index rules, it's fairly simple to calculate the turnover it is going to generate when it rebalances and subsequently the impact the rebalance is going to have on prices. This is a fairly well known behavior and a lot of players have been doing this for a long time. Basically every index of any significance is already being monitored and rebalancing effects are "front-run" this way.

I put the word in quotes, because this is a perfectly legitimate way of front running. The major indices are all public, and anyone can take a crack at this. In other words, if I announce to the world a month in advance that on a specific day and a very specific time of the day (at the closing auction) I'm going to buy X amount of specific stocks and sell Y amount in other stocks, I can't blame people for using that information against me.

So why is HCI part of CS?
Natural language isn’t made to be precise that’s why we use a subset in programming languages.

So you either need lots of extra text to remove the ambiguity of natural language if you use AI or you need a special precise subset to communicate with AI and that’s just programming with extra steps.
This is about relying on requirements type documents to drive AI based software development, I believe this will be ultimately integrated into all the AI-dev tools, if not so already. It is really just additional context.

Here is an example of our approach:

https://blog.codesolvent.com/2024/11/building-youtube-video-...

We are also using the requirements to build a checklist, the AI generates the checklist from the requirements document, which then serves as context that can be used for further instructions.

Here's a demo:

Head scores victory as Google agrees to delete school reviews
You didn't say exactly what you believe, but I think you are mistaken if you are claiming that the FAA requires _uncorrected_ 20:20 vision as a qualification.

"With FAA order 3930.3B ATC vision standards were made similar to airman standards. With or without correction air traffic controllers must demonstrate 20/20 distant vision in each eye separately, 20/40 in each eye at 16 inches near vision, and 20/40 in each eye at 32 inches intermediate vision if they are 50 years of age or older. Glasses or contact lenses are permitted."

You can make taxes specific, as in literally saying "a tax on non-commercially operated non-propeller driven aircraft with greater than 8 passenger seats".

The prop exemption alone would clear most gen-av, but this kind of ruleset would also be very easy for the richies to bypass/game.
> To this day however, I still get very car sick trying to read my phone in a moving motor vehicle, so I don't know.

I find this fascinating. Reading in cars, riding in boats in heavy waves, and anything like that does not give me motion sickness. I made it through 45 years of life without even knowing what that was. However, ten minutes of Minecraft in VR was enough to make me sick to my stomach.

(It was also amazing, BTW)
I have no idea, but given their stock of pictures of the entire earth (via google maps), I have some ideas about what I HOPE they would use this tech for.
I agree with the premise but not with the conclusion. When you're building visual things, you communicate visually: rough sketches, whiteboard diagrams, mockups, notes scrawled in the margins.

Something like tldraw's "make real" [1] is a much better bet, imo (not that it's mutually exclusive). Draw a rough mockup of what you want, let AI fill in the details, then draw and write on it to communicate your changes.

We think multi-modally; why should we limit the creative process to just text?

Ask HN: Are AI dev tools lowering the barrier to entry for creating software?
I am seeing more and more stories about people that don't know how to program are using AI to create software products. On a surface level, that suggests that the barrier to entry for software development is lower. But there are at least two new factors: cost of the tools and expectations in the market, which change the equation regarding what makes a product viable.

I'm curious about how the barrier to entry for creating software products has changed since the rapid proliferation of AI development tools.
Just to be clear, people who have downvoted you are likely doing so because of tone and attitude, not because they're pro-bitcoin.
In VS Code Copilot you have to approve every change manually when you apply to from the chat.
you have it backwards. the sahara was green because the world in general was cooler back then, so the equator had weather more appropriate for the tropics. the world has gotten hotter since then, turning the region into a desert.

Is colocation knowledge lost now? Do people no longer know how to configure a server or three, bring them to colo and run them? I don't understand how this is a story worthy of an Ars Technica article. Where's the issue?

If the issue is cost, slightly older Epyc hardware is quite affordable, and colo deals can be found for extremely reasonable costs. If it's expertise, then all they have to do is ask.
It used to be the case that speaking in that register was a strong signal of a social pedigree and an expensive education. Now it's a signal of people being brainless and easily replaceable.

You're also seeing it in politics where politicians that don't think before they speak too much are seen as more authentic and competent than ones that hire teams of consultants to carefully massage every statement they make.
I'm not being facetious but genuinely curious: who would issue such an order with enough authority for you to follow it?

We know who killed JFK

> Yes, the official explanation that Lee Harvey Oswald was, on his own, responsible for murdering President Kennedy is overwhelmingly accepted as correct. It has largely held up to intense scrutiny over the past 50 years and there is no substantial evidence toward any other explanation.

> As I mentioned in my older post linked elsewhere, one of the reasons why there was so much criticism of the official explanation after the fact is that the investigation was not handled well. This resulted in a lot of seemingly contradictory and unexplained information that opened the door to questioning the overall conclusion as a whole.
At the risk of sharing what I think to be common knowledge, it's Reduce, Reuse and then Recycle. The order matters and reflects decreasing impact on the overall problem. Recycle is supposed to be the last option. Unfortunately the Reduce and Reuse get little to no emphasis within a capitalist consumption driven society.

The question of "who is responsible": anyone is free to run their own mirror, after all this software is freely redistributable.

As for "why not", if I were to lead a project like Alpine, I would insist that the org stays in control of its own infrastructure. Mirrors are also only one chunk of the problem; you also need builder machines.

Its a funny idea but we have the manual for Drive Pilot and any reasonable reading shows there is no exception like that. When the system is active the person in the driver's seat is considered the "fallback-ready user" and is explicitly encouraged to watch videos or do work while the system is active. In the event of a takeover request the user is told to first "gather your bearings" before taking over, and there is a "maximum allotted time of 10 seconds" to respond before the vehicle puts on hazards and comes to a stop.

In California, where Drive Pilot is approved, the manual is required to be included in the permit application and any "incorrect or misleading information" would at the absolute minimum be grounds for revocation of MB's permit.

There are other ways to encourage spending though, like a wealth tax. Not that I necessarily support it, but that would be the more comprehensive solution to hoarding, since it couldn't be worked around by just exchanging fiat for other assets like gold.
So who is raising the prices? And why?

Is the govt telling the egg companies to kill their chickens, or do something in particular that makes it harder for them to produce eggs?

Or is it grocery stores preemptively raising prices assuming egg supply is going to be short soon?

> I thought the buyout offer went along with the cancellation of remote work.

Your sentiment is a result of their incredibly vague first attempt at messaging.

The offer was (or ended up being) a full buyout offer. The “offer” is probably genuine, but it’s not a clean offer, as many edge cases are unclear (e.g., can they terminate you if they accept the offer… currently there is nothing stopping them from doing that, how can someone of retirement age accept the offer and then retire, etc.).

Iirc, ATCs can accept the buy out if they so chose. I’m guessing most won’t, as the ATC deal is good to stick with until you retire.

Edit: Per the article, the status of the offer is unclear. It wasn’t cleared with the union before the letter was released, and it hasn’t been officially rescinded either (despite comments that it has from DoT).

* Navies guard shipping/supply lines. This is true for war time, but it is also true for peace time.

* Navies can disrupt enemy supply lines. Supply lines are critical in any prolonged conflict.

* Air superiority remains an important aspect of war. We need places near the theater of war to operate aircraft from. An aircraft carrier essentially means we can place an airbase anywhere in the world. This is a more dynamic than limiting ourself to just allies that give us land to build bases.

* Armies often use their navy to secure critical resources needed for the war effort, and guard supply lines extracting those resources. Oil, minerals, food, etc. If we increase our industrial capacity during a war we will need to increase our raw material input, at a time when former trading partners might stop selling to us.
Some people will choose to antagonize men or women even after being made aware of the facts. That's why people who are unwilling to tolerate a low level of bad behavior and the after-the-fact nature of punishment wind up demanding absolute and preemptive control over everybody else.
