If you're using markdown and js, in what sense are you blogging in raw HTML? Not to doubt but it feels like a qualified version of the underlying state of affairs.

I blog (for work) on WordPress and hate it. I could imagine using org mode or markdown, pandoc to emit HTML with some tuning and a simple script to publish via sftp.
No, he just says cancer is bad. But apparently everything needs “both sides” treatment these days.
I write for myself. I’ve been writing almost my entire life. Every now and then, someone may want to learn a bit more about me, and it will be there, for them. Otherwise, I don’t really care whether or not it gets read.

When I link to my blog entries, here, it isn’t for self-promotion. It’s because the article is relevant to what I’m talking about, and gives anyone that is interested, more info, without burdening others, with prolix prose.

Unfortunately, it seems that the internal FAA recommendations were not allowed to make their way into any kind of airworthiness directive.

The recommendations include very basic procedure changes that mitigate the near term risks without any significant impact to operation, as well as recommendations for what probably amounts to a software change and upgrades to some of the pilot oxygen masks to effect a permanent fix.

The only reason that we even know about the internal recommendations is that they were leaked to the press.

Boeing released a pilot bulletin that basically says to go through the checklist quickly and to treat smoke in the cabin as a major failure, but stops short of recommending some very, very simple steps in aircraft configuration prior to takeoff that would completely mitigate the issue without negatively effecting flight performance.

The major recommendation in the internal FAA bulletin is to use the APU bleed instead of the main engine bleed air to power the air conditioning and cabin pressurisation during the takeoff phase of flight, below 3000 feet AGL. I can see no reason to drag feet on this recommendation, other than the uncomfortable suggestion that perhaps this issue should have been addressed during certification. (It is yet another difference from older 737 design , like the deadly MCAS system, that was not disclosed to pilots transitioning to the new aircraft)

Don't besmirch the good name of Cygwin, I daily drove that for Python development for 2 years and it worked shockingly well. In retrospect I think I liked Cygwin more than I liked WSL because I really could interoperate my Linux/Windows together nearly seamlessly. But I think that was because I was operating and using tools right in the sweet spot of the Cygwin abstraction; e.g. no GUI programs, sockets/file work only.
1 is plainly false. Enormous ressources have been poured into models since the end 2023 and the "intelligence" (for lack of a better term) has stayed roughly the same, around the level of GPT-4. Nothing has happened since then.

this would be true only for people
who have used the same model since 2023 :) Jesus!

I looked and as far as I can tell, this podcast discussed DOGE but I don’t think they focused on the security aspects of DOGE. It’s more that the All In hosts, like most experienced business people, support aggressive cost cutting and recognize the dangers of not reducing spending - so they really want it to happen. They see the progress so far as unexpectedly fast and encouraging, and think the overall effort will be positive in the obvious ways like reducing the deficit and debt but also because it sets expectations around how the government should operate. I didn’t listen to the whole thing, but judging by the comments here, it seems a lot of HN is not interested in cutting spending or the idea of a team auditing every agency, so they probably view anyone who supports those ideas negatively too.
No one invited the Chinese through the front door.

If you can’t understand that difference, you’re missing something very critical.

One is serious because a foreign adversary is compromising us; the other is serious because we are apparently designing the compromise ourselves via the whims of a demagogue.

> 15 to 20 seconds to actually load the game

Hmm, this is disappointing and something that they should really fix.

As I understand it, the whole advantage of ROM cartridges on Atari-like systems is that no loading is required - the games run directly off the cartridge ROM. Enthusiast emulation systems can boot in a couple of seconds.

The Nintendo Switch cartridges are more like a read-only file system, but games still load quickly without a lengthy installation process and can usually run without an internet connection.

Won't save them from state prosecution, and it seems there is plenty to dig into here.
For the types of crime Krebs is talking about, it's really easy to get charged in lots of states with lots of things, and the statute of limitations are fairly long depending on the crime.

Often the feds charge you first, but clearly not gonna happen here.

They seem too young and stupid to realize ahead of time how far people will dig into them.
What do you mean by raw html ??
Using js and stylesheet in your head tag, well you didn't mean pure html only site
You have to be willing to go deeper to see what can be done.

Say they start fudging numbers at DoL, so only them would know real truth and everyone else is just blundering in the dark.

Combined with ownership of power structures, there is no need for money per se, you can acquire all of the critical infrastructure by applying blunt force. Check your nearest dictatorship for an example, we have plenty to choose from in recent history.
This is literally numerology. I don't find it persuasive, no.
I think Claude and all of these models can translate code really well from one language to another.

The thing is it starts to fail when you are just prompting it without any example code.

And to fully prompt it to be exactly what you wanted to write is basically writing the code yourself.

So for novel code I have had far less success.

But any kind of translation or matching an API shape, it works pretty much easily.

Also Deepseek R1 can do this for much much cheaper and at virtually the same level of quality.
Presumably meaning he directly edits the .html files instead of using any kind of SSG/build step. The Markdown is transformed with JS on the client-side.
Tech companies keep trialing blind hiring, then abandoning it, because it results in fewer women being hired rather than more.

Women-only recruiting events exist.

Companies incentivise managers to hire and promote women over men. I’ve seen companies use KPIs/quotas, and companies where you are allowed more headcount if you hire majority women.
Since the C compiler can hide that, for core kernel code I think the more problematic thing was Alpha's memory consistency model where (data-)dependent loads accesses did not imply ordering, which is unusual and more burdensome to the programmer than any other ISA.

That required this smp_read_barrier_depends() through the kernel, but actually in recent years that has basically been subsumed by other concurrent access primitives that all the core kernel must use, so I think alpha is no longer much of a problem outside arch/alpha

Completely disagree. We support ARMv8.x (forget what x is) on Amaon Linix running on Apple Silicon via Asahi. Been doing it for over a year.
> To me DOGE is doing something right. Instead of shooting the messenger, discuss the actual findings they already did.

> $110m to find water in Afghanistan

I assume that's the same as the whitehouse.gov [1] talking point:

> Hundreds of millions of dollars to fund “irrigation canals, farming equipment, and even fertilizer used to support the unprecedented poppy cultivation and heroin production in Afghanistan,” benefiting the Taliban

The source they link for that is a Breitbart article [2] from 2018 and it talks about 20 year old project that ran for 3 years.

> Between 2005 and 2008, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) devoted at least $330 million in funding to failed ADP projects intended to deter farmers and traffickers from cultivating and trafficking opium.

During the $2+ trillion war in Afghanistan, the US government tried to spend $330 million to damage the Taliban's primary source of revenue. It didn't work and the funding stopped in 2008.

The DOGE "proof" of waste is a 7 year old news article talking about a 20 year old program that only ran for 3 years while George W Bush was the president.

That's the only big number in their official statement regarding the waste. They're going 20 years into the past and once you throw out the dubious claim above, the "waste" they're saying exists is a few million dollars. They didn't even put the $8 million Politico thing on whitehouse.gov because it's been debunked too.

A couple million dollars in waste for an organization that distributes about $44 billion [3] in foreign aid every year is a giant nothing burger and American's are eating it up like it's kobe beef.

A tiny bit of webdev-side dynamicism can really help with managing visitor-side static websites built on .html files in directories.

If you run your own webserver and write HTML then check out server side includes. Being able to include .html fragments in other .html files means no need to edit the same bit in dozens of .html files (ie, left_menu.html, footer.html, etc). And since SSI hasn't really changed in 20 years the major implementations (nginx, apache, etc) have basically nill attack surface or mantainence burden. And there's no "rebuilding" or anything that's not HTML markup to maintain.

HTML+webserver SSI is just more HTML but without the redundant editing.

The discover part at least seems to work acceptably. Stumbled across the Lang's Fairy Books from the late 1800's and early 1900's that collected ~800 stories and 150 poem about mythology, folklore, and fairy tales from all over the Earth. Never knew they existed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Langs%27_Fairy_Books

From WP though: 'authors, including E. Nesbit, Robert Louis Stevenson, Rudyard Kipling, and Arthur Conan Doyle, were influenced by the Langs' books. J. R. R. Tolkien wrote that "In English none probably rival either the popularity, or the inclusiveness, or the general merits of the twelve books of twelve colours which we owe to Andrew Lang and to his wife."

Actually had a somewhat of tale of their own in publishing.

'Although Andrew is often credited with selecting the stories in the Fairy Books, most of the work was done by Nora. Nora and a team of other writers, who were mostly women and included May Kendall and Violet Hunt, translated these into English and adapted them to suit Victorian and Edwardian notions of propriety. However, as Andrew acknowledges in a preface to The Lilac Fairy Book (1910), "The fairy books have been almost wholly the work of Mrs. Lang, who has translated and adapted them from the French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, Catalan, and other languages."'
Am curious. How is this raw HTML if you're using markdown?

In every state I’ve looked up, a majority of roadbuilding and maintenance funds don’t come from gas taxes. Not even close.

It can be hard to tease out since, contrary to belief, gas taxes end up mixed with the general fund in most cases. If you look at total road expenditures against gas tax revenues, drivers don’t come close to paying for the road infrastructure they use.

Note: This isn’t a comment on whether drivers should fully fund roads, or if it is perfectly fine given the external benefits of a robust road network. It is simply a comment about real numbers vs perception.
It doesn’t save the engine, it keeps it from ripping the wing off. It’s a good system.

The part about filling the cabin with smoke because they couldn’t be bothered to make the software that detects the extreme vibration tell the AC units from that engine to shut down (which they already do if the rpm drops, indicating an engine failure-just not soon enough or reliable enough to prevent the smoke issue) - not so much.

The system for the ECU to detect the engine mount failure condition already exists. The function to shut down the air handlers in response to a different indicator of engine failure already exists in the ECU. It’s just literally “also shut down if the engine mounts fail”, but the guys that sit around and think about the what ifs were given early retirement to make room for more MBAs.

AI Code Generators Are Creating a Generation of "Copy-Paste Coders"
Jason is my least favorite of the four.

Last year he was suggesting the democrats run Jeff Bezos as a candidate saying the party would rally behind him.

The dude realized he was completely out of step with the democrats, so despite constantly trolling Republicans, as you suggested he finally decided to just throw in with them despite still feeling superior to all them (which you can tell by his little "wisecracks" and subtle fuck-yous to the average Repub voter).

> Well, ok. Little known fact, but on average around every 10 years the worst flu season in 10 years occurs

And when one of those worst years comes around I like to know about it because I don't like getting the flu.

For instance let's say I make a sandwich for lunch on a Saturday and notice I'm getting low on bread. I add bread to my shopping list and notice that I've got a few other things on there. In a normal year I'd probably go the grocery store after lunch.

If I know its a bad time for the flu though I'd probably instead put that off until Monday morning. Saturday afternoon there are a lot of people in the store. Monday morning it is almost empty.
It's all spin. It's a way for companies to spruik their own AI products (or signal that they are on the AI bandwagon) when announcing hiring freezes or layoffs.

Lazy journalists gobble it up without question.
Tyler Cowen has said he wrote his last book for the AI.

I'm nobody, and I'm in there because I wrote a lot for a popular open source project I was involved with a decade ago.

Who knows if it'll be good or bad, but if you put stuff out there or do something notable, you're in the AI weights.
To the absolute contrary. They do it because of the contempt they have for the average US citizen. These people now in power believe their interests come first because, in their minds, they are inherently superior to most people by birthright.
They could be, but they aren't.
math arose firstly as a language and formalism in which statements could be made with no room for doubt. the sciences took it further and said that not only should the statements be free of doubt, but also that they should be testable in the real world via well defined actions which anyone could carry out. all of this has given us the gadgets we use today.

llm, meanwhile, is putting out plausible tokens which is consistent with its training set.
And nobody was complaining about that then either because there were no job prospects and the high salaries from pre-crash were long gone.
True, gas taxes don't pay for it all, but it's easier than saying: "Whatever mix of stuff the place you're living in does/will use that may include gas taxes plus other taxes but their commonality is that they are largely unrelated to your particular choice of where to drive."

Either way, the point is that there's a conflict between the demands of "never charge me an extra cent" versus "don't poke your nose into my business."

> However, even a static site generator will deprecate some features one day

No? You don't need to upgrade to the version that deprecates. Besides, what features are you using with such a simple blog the are at risk?
> the longest lived one is based on hugo

Upgrading hugo is not straightforward due to the backward incompatibility changes. Too much changes to care for a static generator.
Yeah, but it is very easy to disconnect your identity from that grocery receipt.
Agreed, the biggest problem of such project is where is the boundary. Once you implemented some fundamental features in language A, others will be forced to use that language for succeeding jobs. Even if you have already implemented some functions in language B, due to the limitation of integration, error handling or some other more important reasons, you still need to choose language A.

Maybe after a lot of discussion, a solution can be finally reached. However, the effort consumed, or like now, causing personnel turnover, will significantly increase the cost of project.

IMO if there is no extremely important reason, do not mix multiple languages within one project. If must, define some boundaries at the initial stage. Any attempt to change these boundaries should require agreement from everyone involved.
This seems to be a problem with the most recent model (claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022). There was a lot of complaining about it on their discord when it was released and I had a lot of problems with it too. If you use the previous Claude model, it still works very well and doesn't have these problems.

The big thing I want in a book repository is a hierarchical list which will allow browsing by subject.

One site which does work well for this (for textual books) and which is well-regarded is:

https://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/subjects.html

which uses the LoC identifier for a given text.

A project which past me wanted for future me was to read one book from each LoC category, and then to repeat that for sub-categories --- young me did that for the Dewey Decimal system for the high school library, but there were a number of gaps in the collection, and at that time, I didn't have the discipline or resources to make note of them so as to source books from other book repositories.

> What is happening to our young
people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets inflamed with wild notions. Their morals are decaying. What is to become of them?

All of this to say that generations judging each other are rarely objective and very prone to both confirmation bias and broad generalization.

But if are going to generalize, how about this, transgression is part of a healthy growth for most young people (we all test limits by crossing lines one time or an other, some more than others), and most old people (conveniently) forget that they were doing exactly the same with the tools they had at the time.
Let's take a step back and appreciate that societies around the world tend to become less violent and less criminal... when these trends might reverse we can start talking again about the decadence of young people and it's consequences.
I guess I just see so many of these "the whole industry except for me is doing it wrong" kinds of posts but almost never see anybody really back it up with anything concrete that I've grown extremely skeptical.
