As a juror, I would expect such a trial to at least be able to produce a single victim that could testify on the stand that they got deceived before I would vote guilty.

There is a lot of talk about how LLMs will disrupt software development and office work and whatnot, but there is one thing that they are massively disrupting right now, and that is education. I've witnessed this with a group of CS master students recently, and they have let their programming skills atrophy to barely imaginable levels. LLMs have the twin effect of raising the bar for what even a barely viable junior developer has to live up to, while simultaneously lowering their actual skills. There is a generation of completely unemployable "graduates" in the pipeline.

The article mentions that most students are only in it for the diploma anyway, but somehow most people are yet to realize that those diplomas will soon be toilet paper, precisely because they no longer require any actual effort to obtain.
zuckerberg's turn to be "masculine" after trump got into power is so shameful and cringe that i get second hand embarassment just seeing him.

that's why the survey makes sense even though elon might be doing more "damage" in real life.
Science is a long game, it's not about sales where you need to sell right now. Extreme results will be attempted to be replicated, which in turn costs a lot of funding. That is money and time, sometimes a whole persons career.

This money and time is taken directly away from funding other, potentially more worthy or more likely to be correct studies.

There is no point of looking at every (flawed) study in the most positive way, unless you have unlimited time and money to pursue every avenue of research.

Often (not always), the studies that are most heavily promoted among the news and in business or politics are really not the best research and other, less visible but more solid research gets ignored in favor of whats popular or what has had good marketing.

This is very frustrating for people doing solid good research, because every so often someone else will come along with wild, exaggerated claims and very little data to back it up, and then gets funding for it.

It takes literal years away from good science just because someone markets and speaks well.

Which is fine in business, but in science this is not something "the market" can or will correct for well, simply because the timespans are so long.
> Where do you draw the line between "When there are no judicial penalties [...] eventually people seek extrajudicial ones" and "some nutjob went on a shooting spree"?

Think for a minute: one of the most popular tv shows in modern history is a story of a man with an elite education going to the extreme of running a small criminal organization due to financial pressure caused by a life-threatening medical condition. That was what the US watched for years for escapism.
I think you’ll find that the cost to train pilots is also substantial. Mostly pilots have 100-1000s of hours to be “combat ready” at many $1000s/flight hr. Google says around $10M for F-35 pilot.

Better to follow protocol and eject. The link is a story where a good pilot followed protocol but still got screwed over.
I don't see an explanation of where these numbers come from. Also I would say that even within U6, someone that's forced to work part-time should not count 1:1 with someone that has no job at all.

Overall labor force participation seems fine. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/98/US_Labor...

And labor force participation is only down, what, 4% from 2000? Why does that correspond to a 14% increase in unemployment?
Client-side includes are easily done in a custom web component now. I use one. You can write a simple one in about 60 lines of JS.

If all you need is include functionality, then that's the way to go for static file hosting.

That didn't even occur to me, tbh :) But it doesn't have to be SQL linting, I just wanted to appreciate the mindset of not being lazy/afraid to write an unorthodox test.
"But for better or worse, the actual outcome does matter" -- curious what you mean by that?
Unified Germany was a direct outgrowth of the Prussian state, which was an efficient, centralized modern state. Most of Germany was also within the holy roman empire, which had a sophisticated government with an elective monarchy (though the electors were a handful of princes).

Of course German elements of democracy goes back to pre-Christian times: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thing_(assembly)

I love playing solitaire card games. But got sick of all privacy intrusive, subscription, ad-riddled crap out there. So I combined learning macOS/iOS development with doing my own games the way I want them (currently Klondike and Spider); https://menubar.games (originally I intended them to only be accessible through the menubar, but got carried away when I realized how easy it was to make iOS versions).

Will continue to refine and possibly do more - love iterating and polishing as a way to learn.
Beautiful.

I noticed the layout breaking on some pages, e.g.: https://breezewiki.com/Battleheartlegacy/wiki/Necromancer - the table extends beyond the horizontal edge of the page, at least on mobile.

Still a more user friendly place than fandom/wikia and I am now going to use BreezeWiki instead.
IIRC he had no visibility so he couldn't test controls with eyeballs, can only assume out-of-control-flight scenario. Backup instruments said he was below 6000ft above ground level, aka trust instrument = potential for single digit seconds from hitting ground, and supposedly the F35 manual states ejection is the only option under those conditions.
Mint is wonderful for most people, from non-experts to technical users.
I enjoyed your website far too much. I’m gonna go permanently cancel our retros.
He was a test pilot; he's supposed to put his life at risk. Not just that -- and this is something the (current) article touched on -- he is also supposed to consider that ejecting could mean his plane crashing somewhere where it's going to kill one or more people; it seems he only considered that after he was on the ground.

He didn't know what was working because he didn't try to figure it out. All he did was tell the plane to switch modes from STOL to regular forward flight. He didn't see if pitch, yaw, and roll flight controls were being respected, and it doesn't seem he tried to use the backup radio, or the backup instruments, other then glancing at them.

But I don't think he made a terrible decision! Ultimately he's still alive, he healed from his injuries, and no one else was hurt, and that's a good outcome in my opinion. But maybe his judgment in a crisis situation isn't good enough for the command position he was given. He did lose a $165M piece of equipment, one that he very well may have been able land safely, and while I would never place that above the lives of actual humans, it does matter. And that's really what the three reports said: many other pilots probably would have done what he did in that situation, but he should have taken more time to ascertain whether his plane was flyable or not, even if that would have put him at further risk.

Maybe he would have been fine continuing to be a test pilot under the command of someone else's test group, but maybe his superiors decided that his actions showed he wasn't the kind of person they wanted in command. I dunno; I've never been a Marine (or any kind of military officer), so I don't know either way. But I suspect most of us here haven't, and don't really have expert knowledge on how these sorts of things are supposed to work.
> Do whatever your processor does with an 'add' instruction; but don't let anything weird travel backwards in time, or make additional assumptions about execution paths not happening.'

That’s exactly what the standard means by undefined. Anything more you are reading into it is an absurd hypothetical. If you find such an implementation - let me know so I can avoid it. Clang and gcc do reasonable things - as you have pointed out there are helpful flags to configure it too.
Microsoft has a similar thing on Windows with Phone Link.
The cost of the pilot will always be less than the cost of the plane. So why provide the capability to eject in the first place? Presumably you get better pilots when they know a problem with the plane doesn’t mean death for them or their career.
There's actually a wide range of case law covering such communications in light of such perceived possibility of legal threat. A lot of it culminated in Murthy v. Missouri.

What you are suggesting is that the government cannot communicate anything of substance. If say an administration was against advertising medications and publicly said so, this could be viewed as coercing networks to not air such ads for fear of being on the wrong side of the admin.

The idea that the government could bankrupt your company isn't something that matters. What matters is if they do based on your speech or make threats to based on your speech.

Eject and lose your career means more pilots will crash.

It’s similar to why search and rescue don’t bill you after they’re called - they don’t want to add a reason to hesitate and make your problems worse.
No such kill switch exists, the US stopped providing electronic warfare intelligence that made the jets more survivable. The stoppage of all military aid was significantly more damaging.

Modern web (and web-like) apps all too often don't even bother supporting keyboard for anything other than text field input.

What's the problem here, exactly?

Visas are granted as an extension of this country's good will, and if you violate that good will the visa is revoked. Is your issue that you don't believe the conduct to be worthy of revoking the visa? Honestly, it's a little irritating that people think it's normal for these visas to be so liberally granted in the first place. That's probably why we're in this situation at all.
So, morality isn't a concern as long as you get something out of it, got it.

Too bad all you're gonna get is a botched and broken nation and years of misery, but that shouldn't matter as long as you get "something for my money".

And you're sure you're gonna get "something for my money" with people that make no attempts to even veil their corruption and lawlessness. Right? Say, are you, by any chance, "rich"? I mean, rich enough to be considered rich by the oligarchs, that is.
Typically these online homework systems are pushed by the department much to the chagrin of the professors, but the students are required to pay ~$100/ea for the privilege of doing automated homework, and the department gets some nice kickbacks.

The recent video of the air ambulance impacting the ground is really "instructive" here. There are good indications that they believed they were in level flight either because of some instrument failure or lack of attention.

This is not so simple, drones everywhere mean anti-drone drones with shotguns, too. It’s like Total Annihilation, you must outproduce the enemy or you’ll get swarmed. We’re witnessing doctrine rewriting events here.
> He didn't try to see if his flight controls (pitch, yaw, roll) were still responding, he didn't make use of the backup instruments, he didn't try the backup radio, and he had enough fuel to land elsewhere. The letter of the procedures may have said that he was in an out-of-control flight condition, but the procedures were too vague, and he should have had the experience to second-guess them and ascertain if his plane was actually out of control.

If the article is correct, the issue started when he was 750 feet above the ground depending at 800 feet per minute. He decided to eject approximately 30 seconds layer, at an approximate above ground height of 350 feet. Presuming he decided to continue troubleshooting, he was going to impact the ground in 25 seconds, and the ejection seat does take a few seconds for the pilot to clear the fuselage (and any explosions at impact).

This is a tragic situation to be in. He was under an immense time pressure to make a decision and from his understanding, the plane was out-of-control. He also doesn't know for sure if his rate of decent has accelerated, so he might have been dozens of feet above the ground.

I understand the armchair flying with perfect understanding and time to think it through means that he should have tried more stuff, but in the seat? I would have ejected. I think the majority of folks would have.
Everywhere if you're looking. Of course that's just making America "great" again if you're brainwashed into the cult.
Highlights.Email [1] - a service to email yourself book highlights from your Kobo E-Reader!

Exporting book highlights from a Kobo was slow and inconvenient; you’d need to connect the device to your computer via USB and run a script, or upload the onboard sqlite database to a website to extract book highlights. With Highlights.Email, you tap a button on-device and in a few seconds have a nicely formatted email with all your book highlights!

So, I’m just scratching my own itch mainly while learning how to build and launch something to the world. There’s two parts to this service: Rust program that runs on-device and a SveltKit app (w/ a Supabase backend) for auth and sending emails.

You are wrong about that. You have never dealt with malevolent entities where that cannot be given.

Decision-making, and its related presumptions change when the threat becomes existential.

Deceivers with resources who abuse the public trust and its presumptions towards individuals, take advantage of societies understanding, towards destructive ends, and continue doing so regardless. They corrupt the systems meant to protect and keep destructive outcome dynamics in check usually for personal or political benefit.

The entities are not entitled to the same benefit of the doubt when they have a history of malfeasance, and lack of credibility.

This is true of anti-trust, government corruption, and government in general when you consider the many other things like Tuskegee, or what happened to the Inuit women who were involuntarily sterilized following eugenics programs in the late 60s early 70s, along with other indigenous peoples under the guise of beneficial programs promoting public health.

You can see just how well fines do in curbing corruption like JPM's silver manipulation over a decade, or Egg price fixing over the past 10 years, or medical equipment providers who have defects that kill patients, and then claim they fix them falsely (in bad faith).

There is a point where you cannot presume innocence, especially with regards to non-person entities (like corporations), who will pay the fine and continue business as usual passing the cost on.

Eventually you hit a critical saturation point where the presumption and benefit of the doubt must necessarily flip.

When related systems break enough, there is a point where people realize the rule of law has failed, and consider alternatives like the brass verdict, and act on it.

These are not good things, but they happen when the dynamics to correct fail as a whole. When people start objectively finding foundational violations, it becomes and is a societal existential threat and should be treated as such.

Failure to react from that point forward then becomes opting out of continued survival, which is well beyond any considered point of absurdity.

Evil is blind to the natural destructive consequences it creates, and sometimes evil needs killing just as it did with the Nazi's.

When the rule of law can no longer fulfill the obligations under social contract, and act as a non-violent conflict resolution, the alternative is natural law and chaos, and it is something that no good person would wish on anyone.
I am working on a guitar practice app[1]. It's a metronome that captures speed and duration as you practice. This data can then be visualized. It's designed to be used on a desktop/laptop as there are keyboard shortcuts for easily controlling the metronome while playing the instrument, but otherwise it works quite well in mobile browsers too.

It started as a personal project a few months back. Since then, I have been using it myself, alongside building the functionality I need. Lately I have been working on polishing it up in order to put it out there for others.

Based on my usage so far, I've come to realize some good second order effects too -

1. having a list of exercises helps me quickly pick something meaningful to practice rather than noodling for most of the time.

2. At the end of a practice session, the total duration is just 15-20 mins yet it feels like quality practice. So now, even if I have just 20-30 mins of free time, I am motivated to squeeze in a quick practice session. Turns out, this is a game changer (at least for myself).

Feature wise, I'm quite happy with the current state of it although I have some ideas for premium features (if it generates enough interest). In the coming weeks, I am planning to switch gears a bit and focus more on marketing/promotion. I also need to play more, because ironically, my practice time has reduced in the last few weeks in the pursuit of "launching" it! Also, I've set a goal to publish one new exercise in the library every week until the end of this year.
