Yes, airports in eastern Europe are now using the old ground based VHF radio beacons (VOR, DME and ILS).

However, they were not in use a few years ago. Some airports never had the ground based equipment installed, others still had the beacons functional but the procedures (STAR, SID) had been phased out in favor of the easier and cheaper satellite based GNSS RNAV procedures.

Some airports had brand new VHF equipment installed, others had the old procedures reinstated.

But aviation is a slow moving, risk averse, cost sensitive business so several airports were inaccessible (apart from visual approach) for a few months.
No, just a daily brief from section leaders.

I’m sure there’s slack plugins for what you’re suggesting, though. Not sure how useful it’d be since most big ticket items would be in the brief each day and the smaller ephemeral stuff gets resolved with slack messages or chats.
Ha, I've been creating this on-and-off for a while. Just last night I asked various LLMs to implement a boid-with-predator algorithm and all failed hard.

Instead I spent an hour reading through a description and implementing manually and it at least worked.

But yes, boids is a good start, but it requires some work to make it more natural for mammals, who can have a 0 min speed.
Yet on this very site when I would have suggested (let's say two years ago) that the right historically tends to go "free speech for me but not for thee" people would downvote.

What Trump does is no surprise to anybody who knows the man and this type of leader in history. The best times for the US are over until there is a major popular uprising with a new class of political leadership.
ARM processors significantly differ from Apple Silicon. Apple's M series are not fully compliant with the ARM64 ISA and contain undocumented instructions. There was a discussion about that a few month ago on /r/hackintosh https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/1c9rfdz/is_hack...
Very well explained (although not sure if the TypeScript is necessary)

I wonder though- isn't classic TF-IDF scoring also a type of basic vector comparison? What is the actual difference between "vector database" and something like elastic search?
Similar to bootstrapping a random variable in statistics. Your N estimates (each estimate is derived from a subset of the sample data) give you an estimate of the distribution of the random variable. If the variance of that distribution is small (relative to the magnitude of the point estimate) then you have high confidence that your point estimate is close to the true value.

Likewise in your metric, if all answers are the same despite perturbations then it's more likely to be ... true?

I'd really like to see a plot of your metric versus the SimpleQA hallucation benchmark that OpenAI uses.
Why the downvotes? This is correct
They show ads among classifieds, so they already make money with marketplace
What does it tell you though?

If someone has 50% of say Google from the start, them selling it all over say 5 years would put the cost basis way up, but without changing much in the economy or in those companies.

They would probably in turn buy other stocks and increase their cost basis.

Interesting Q though!
How likely is that to happen, and in which languages can you either optimize or not AND where the compiler might not change tomorrow though?

David Hume said that we cannot know if the sun is going to rise tomorrow just because it has always did before. See "problem of induction", https://philosophynow.org/issues/160/Humes_Problem_of_Induct....
I don't believe any platform will be able to gain massive trust anymore. After facebook had all possibilities and resources and yet failed to provide. All niche solutions end up on the giant whale's stomach after awhile.
I think mine is broke as well. Where to join the class action lawsuit?
Hackintoshing supports internal GPUs (iGPU) as well (not only RX 580) - and lots of people install on their Lenovo Thinkpads or other notebooks.
Sure, Google Scholar is still a good resource. And if you jump an article link into Google, it will likely find you a link to that. I don't see how that would not work today.

These days there are other tools as well. I use Perplexity a lot currently. Not for scientific work because I don't do that anymore but it would work great for that as well. And I'm sure modern day researchers have their favorite tools that I'm not even aware off.
Eh californias sw industry?
The edge of chaos can be thought of as a zone in the ratio between parameters where evolution or optimization of a system (in this case, maximizing information processing) can occur with access to the most dynamics (needed to explore optimization space) without the system becoming unstable.

It's traditionally applied to order/disorder, but in this case the order and disorder are more abstract as the control mechanisms in question are the excitation or inhibition of a stimulus. Excitation and inhibition are a way of controlling the dynamics of the brain, and in general are two basic controls for maintaining stability in any embedded dynamic physical system, and according to the good regulator theorem[0], a perfect inhibition/excitation control system contains a perfect model of both the embedded system and its local environment, so even learning and understanding are rooted in these two basic ways of interacting with information, and thus we see the edge of chaos appear all over in biology, neuroscience and physics if you squint a bit.

Stop Guessing If Your Cron Jobs Ran–Track Them with a Simple Webhook
If you've ever had a critical cron job silently fail without realizing it until it was too late, you're not alone. Logs can be a pain to check, and traditional monitoring tools often feel like overkill for something as simple as "Did my script run?" That's why we built KeepAlive.io, a dead-simple way to track and monitor scheduled tasks.

How It Works

Add a Webhook – We'll give you a unique URL to ping.

Make a GET Request – Every time your cron job or script runs successfully, just send a GET request to your Webhook.

Set Your Schedule – Let us know how often your job should run (e.g., every hour, daily, etc.).

Get Notified – If we don’t hear from your job on time, we’ll notify you via email, Slack, or other integrations.

Why This Matters

Instant Feedback – Know immediately when something is off instead of realizing days later.

No More Guessing – Logs and manual checks? Forget them. If your job is silent, we’ll be loud.

Peace of Mind – Even for personal projects, getting alerts before a small issue turns into a disaster is invaluable.

Who Is This For?

Developers with scheduled tasks running on servers

Data engineers managing ETL jobs

DevOps teams handling automation scripts

Anyone tired of wondering, "Did my script actually run?"
It’s a late stage feature for a social media app. Initially you need anyone and everyone on the site.
A caveat.
I had the change to perform a similar experiment at work testing very sensitive accelerometers. Believe it or not, the biggest source of errors was the bending of the floor due to the test masses!
A better setup would be to suspend the spheres exactly like the tuna cans, and test two configurations rotated by 90 degrees.
Please explain how they are equivalent and why the psychoactive properties of a psychedelic don't make it categorically different in this situation than a carrot.
Are those anomalies change over time? Do you have to continuously update those devices with the latest maps?
Let's hope HP didn't donate to your political leadership.
My Outlook at work shows the first line of the body alongside the subject, and adds <EOM> if the entire message fits in that preview line.

This seems as good as or better than having people add the "<eom>" marker manually, because it doesn't rely on people remembering it and because it knows exactly how much text can be displayed in my current view.

I've never spent time customizing this client, so I assumed this was a default setting, but nobody else is mentioning this so maybe it's not? Maybe my company's IT team added this or enabled a setting. Or maybe every enterprise company has this but all the others encourage adding dozens of lines of nonsense "signature" boilerplate and disclaimers, so nobody gets the benefit of the feature.

What's a better option than DDNS that doesn't add a bunch of latency to every connection?
I thought it would be interesting to run the numbers for the question “how far can I drive my Prius if I didn’t buy this ?” for a new Macbook Pro M4 (14 inch).

The answer is a pleasing 1337 miles (198kg lifetime CO2 of the macbook / 148g mile CO2 average for the 2011 Prius).

This is pretty surprising. I’d always thought laptop purchases had a much higher impact than an average couple of months of driving.
Understanding Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) in Cybersecurity
You tell me. I actually didn’t know the modal element existed. Quite handy!
Craigslist also became a cesspool of wasted time.

"No, I'm not going to accept 1% of what I listed. I'm going to put it in the garbage instead since my time is now worth more. In fact, I've now had enough of you assholes call and lowball me that I'm now net negative even at what I listed so into the trash it goes."

Presumably, Facebook Marketplace simply hasn't gone through the degradation cycle, yet.
I highly recommend 4K Download. A lifetime license is less than $30 and it is dead-simple to use. I’ve been using it to download old concert footage and debates because I’ve noticed them disappearing.

- a very happy customer.

You were be able to chat and share pics only with nearby people

I like how this is considered weird. Like, yeah, let’s talk and share our pictures globally in an instant to people we don’t know.

"…it'll just be Radio Caroline and various small-time pirates on AM. Even the venerable longwave transmitter for Radio 4 is getting shut down in a couple of months sadly."

Even with this shortsighted decision, the size of the UK is such that FM and digital services can provide adequate coverage. But that's not the case for large countries like the US, Canada, Australia, etc. VHF services major population centres with comparative ease but it's essentially impossible for it to do so for vast sparsely-populated areas. This is where LF, MF and HF are effective.

Years ago I recall traveling by car from Sydney to Adelaide (Australia) which is about 1000 miles and the shortest route is to travel diagonally across the country (the longer way would be to travel the coastline where the population is larger and take in cities such as Melbourne).

Traveling cross-country meant going across sparsely-populated areas where local broadcast services were either nonexistent or very patchy (low power—just enough to service a small community). Nevertheless, that proved no problem as the ABC's (the Oz version of the BBC) capital city AM transmitters located in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide provided coverage all the way. Even though Melbourne wasn't on route at points along the way its transmitter was stronger than the other two. (I'd note that was the daytime coverage from all three transmitters sans skip.)

It would be impossible to provide that coverage with only three VHF transmittes no matter their power. Frankly, it'd be crazy to switch off AM transmissions in a country like Australia even if one discounted their strategic advantage.
ElevenLabs, a cutting-edge AI audio research and deployment company, develops lifelike and contextually-aware voice and sound technologies across 32 languages. elevenlabs has successfully generated $1.70M in traffic cost value through its SEO strategies as of March, 2025. This growth is driven by a combination of keyword targeting, content optimization, and on-page SEO improvements.

To rank well on Google, it's important to create content that aligns with what users are actually searching for. Google aims to provide answers by using advanced algorithms to understand the intent behind each query. Understanding search intent helps ensure your content meets users’ needs.

Here are the top five pages on elevenlabs that generate the most organic traffic through content optimized for keyword intent:

URL Keyword Position Search Volume Traffic Traffic Value
https://elevenlabs.io/ ai voice over 1 7,812 12,003 $84,741
https://elevenlabs.io/sound-effects/explosion explosion sound effect 4 4,205 925 $4,772
https://elevenlabs.io/dubbing-studio ai dubbing video 1 123 290 $1,160
https://elevenlabs.io/blog/create-realistic-deep-voice-text-... deep voice text to speech 3 320 236 $599
https://elevenlabs.io/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about... tiktok text to speech 8 1,900 198 $2,179
elevenlabs' SEO success is rooted in a traditional content marketing strategy, where long-form guides rank for a wide range of keywords. The selected keywords are non-branded and long-tailed, addressing very specific user queries. "ai voice over" and "ai dubbing video" tap into the growing demand for artificial intelligence in media, while "explosion sound effect" attracts individuals looking for realistic audio assets, and "deep voice text to speech" alongside "tiktok text to speech" cater to niche audiences seeking advanced voice synthesis solutions. This structured approach to content not only boosts rankings but also ensures that searchers find exactly what they're looking for.

Choosing the Right Keywords to Attract Quality Traffic
The more organic keywords you rank for—that is, words and phrases that draw people to your site from a search engine results page (SERP)—the better. Organic keywords are free, help improve online visibility, and attract quality traffic.

Keyword Position Search Volume Traffic
text to speech 3 286,054 78,403
ai voice over 1 7,812 12,003
voice cloning 1 2,982 5,945
speech synthesis 2 2,355 1,107
deep voice text to speech 3 320 236
There are more downsides. Instead of maintaining 1 server you have to maintain server and tunnel or 2 servers and tunnel.
If someone does not know how to maintain internal network DNS and dhcp then if internet is down then your services are down too, because likely there are only reachable through external domain.
I agree though that someone who does know much probably should not do that. If you know what is SSH and root account, probably less is more.
I think polling these days is all but useless just because a very small proportion of people actually respond to pollsters and it's next to impossible to statistically account for "what would the other 80% say if they did't tell the pollster to fuck off". There's no way to build a "representative sample" to account for that. People are way more likely to respond to a "friendly" pollster and if they don't know whether pollster is "friendly" (works for the organisation aligned with their party), they assume they are from the other camp. It's a mess.
Open-Source Project: Btech Babai – A Resource Hub for Engineering Students
Hey HN!

I've got a gmail. I have the username, password and recovery address. All the email is forwarded to me at the recovery address. I can't get in because I lost the phone number and they enabled 2FA on it without warning. I've been trying for about three years to get into it. I've talked to lots of people at Google who's numbers I tracked down. Still no joy.

Might be able to find someone inside Google for $$ at swapd.co to get into it I suspect.
> but he doesn’t understand the field and the entire premise of the long discussion was that LLMs are going to get us to AGI.

You might disagree with this assessment, but it doesn't show that he doesn't understand the field, since many of the people in the field also think this. At least to the definition of AGI he used - AI that can replace most of the economic work done by humans.
European-alternatives.eu Experiencing Massive Traffic Increase Since January

In German language (kwT) remains reasonably common. "kein weiterer Text" = no further content. Often still duplicated in the body, because people read their messages on all sorts of funny devices / in all sorts of funny clients.

Even better than any such marker: Rearranging so the acronym (e.g. LGTM, NAK, ASAP) or greeting/valediction is the last word, ticking off both the formalities and the EOM marker simultaneously.
I have the username/password/recovery email. It's still not enough.
> the most effective way to prevent hantavirus infection in humans is to keep surroundings free from rodents. But, this is easier said than done

I would argue it's well-nigh impossible. But considering all the dirt we are exposed to nowadays (PM, microplastic, VOC, ...) being conscious about it maybe vital.

Think about household dust the next time you make your bed.
My understanding is that it will be much harder as ARM is way less standardized than the Intel x86 platform. This is something that Linus Thorvalds has talked about in the past [1]. Think about how huge an effort it is to get Linux to run on Apple’s ARM machines or how some distros have a Pi specific variant. I guess getting macOS to run on other ARM machines could be similar challenging.

You're absolutely right and this is something I've studied and thought about quite a lot. The dark aspect of group chats does fundamentally separate them from forums, which had the benefit of searchability, permanence and topic longevity.

At least we will benefit from what forums are left in the form of model training data. People give LLMs a lot of shit, but it's possible one day that a language model ends up becoming a go-to oracle of future archeologists studying the present day.

Sometimes it's easy to take for granted how historic the current times are, and how interested people will be in the minuet and institutional knowledge which few bother to expend considerable resources preserving.
The point is to get a sense of progress or not. It only creates a sense of progress if there actually is some.

The alternative is the silly measures of "poverty" we use in the first world which are mathematically unachieveable by design so they can always be used to justify measures politicians want to pass: "won't you think of the child poverty you heartless monster" etc.
I do think labor in India will be cheaper than using any AI for quite some time longer than in the West.

I also worry that the major negative effects of AI in India will not be economic but will be social as the society is extremely low trust at the moment due to widespread corruption, criminals being lauded by the government, killings of journalists, communal tensions, huge pollution, and tons of other problems.
Psa.

Back in the early 1990s, crond would send an email to root@localhost if a process terminated with a nonzero exit code -- by default: no configuration needed to get it.
And efficiency is mutually exclusive with flexibility. The more you optimise to do one thing the less you can easily do other things.
It's just because people tend to put the "original" result in the first place and the "improved" result in the second place in many scientific studies. LLM and humans are learning that and assume that the second one is the better one.
Local social media used to be huge here in Sweden, we had options for everyone long before facebook or x/twitter was a thing. Great times.
That's actually a fun game hah
We’re likely in agreement. What Haiti needs is investment in domestic industries to be competitive in a capitalist world.

These investments can be provided by foreigners, but it’s ultimately the locals that need to rise up to the occasion and use it well. Unfortunately, Haiti is rooted in endemic corruption, stemming in part from aid dependency.

There’s no point of giving aid to Haiti while maintaining the status quo of the country being a little more than a raw material supplier to richer countries.

My exact complaint is that many countries give aid to feel good…and also for the recipient to do the donor’s bidding instead of what’s right for their countrymen.

Whoever pays the piper calls the tune. If Haitian leaders remain more accountable to foreign donors than their local population, there’s no incentive to improve.
Not arguing this again, go edit the wikipedia article if you are so confident
> Social media that's only open from 7:39pm to 10:39pm EST.

Hilariously, this reminds me of a governmental department that was hosting its server in-house as a simple PC and available only during working hours (9am-5pm), so when the staff left, they turned it off.
By the time most of India is at the level of development that their problem is looking at screens, the cars will be battery-electric.

AI has as much chance of taking your job as combine harvesters have of taking everyone's job that currently has one in India working on farms: 99%, maybe, but also 0%.
Jeff Bezos is an infamous micro-manager. He micro-manages every single pixel of Amazon’s retail site. He hired Larry Tesler, Apple’s Chief Scientist and probably the very most famous and respected human-computer interaction expert in the entire world, and then ignored every goddamn thing Larry said for three years until Larry finally – wisely – left the company. Larry would do these big usability studies and demonstrate beyond any shred of doubt that nobody can understand that frigging website, but Bezos just couldn’t let go of those pixels, all those millions of semantics-packed pixels on the landing page. They were like millions of his own precious children. So they’re all still there, and Larry is not.

Unless you can demonstrate that humans can solve a function that exceeds the Turing computable, it is reasonable to assume we're non more than Turing complete, and all Turing complete systems can compute the same set of functions.

As it stands, we don't even know of any functions that exceeds the Turing complete, but are computable.
Thats a report of a conversation, not a legal agreement. If you want a legal agreement, get it in writing. So like I said it's Putin's propaganda that there was some agreement. Thanks for confirming, I'll be sure to use that link in the future.
