Or you know, honor the contracts that were already in place, and any new contracts get a temporal subscription instead of a lifelong one... Otherwise they shouldn't have bought the assets.

Cool that they were able to bring this to industry! Several years ago I was at TU Braunschweig, where they were investigating on how to do this. In particular, on the laying tape's head, solutions on how to harden the epoxy as the material was laid down: directed energy with lasers? other infrared solutions?

I don't know how this one implements it, but I'd be curious to know :)

Why though? It is part of culture, not everyone is interested in STEM, and the life of some could be interesting. Or who knows, you might discover your new holiday destination...

I would agree however, that to fully imitate TikTok, you would need a FYP that shows you more content about what you are interested, but as the author say, it was an overnight project :)

We had that in the 1920’s in Spain, where only a group of oligarchs (named caciquism) were dictating whom the persons under their wing where voting for. Needless to say, there was collusion among the leaders and only puppet governments in place

So be it, if Google, Instagram, et al. are influencing a campaign, and it is deemed to be illegal with proof, the results of the elections shall be repeated.

Well, you need a frame converter that sends it to an IP address/DNS server, and on the receiving side something that receives that packet on a specific port and translates it to a BT command.

I would say the most complicated part would be the TCP/IP stack, and binding/publishing your address, but if you are running something with Embedded Linux it is doable :)

Been driving manual all my life and having now a DSG automatic.

I love it, fuel efficiency is on par with manual. There are things that I don’t like, specifically: - Driving in traffic: If I’m inching forward, transmission suffer because it does continuously half-clutch. Much more control with a manual. - Mountain driving: I usually set it again to manual to be able to brake with the engine when going up and meeting a curve. Interestingly, it does fine going downhill. - tricky terrain: it changes wildly depending on the traction you are encountering, so manual mode helps keeping a constant rhythm and speed when traction is not optimal (snow, mud, etc)

I have to admit though that the automatic is way faster than me at changing gears, which helps keeping a constant acceleration and avoid head bobbing.

While you could get a _platform_ there in those months, “what’s the point of it”? You would like to get a _payload_ there able to do science as well, so a USB Stick sizes spacecraft may not be suitable (for now) for it.

I can however imagine a proper ion-thrusted satellite with enough Antenna gain to communicate from 550AU back with real science.

There are always applications that will require it. Right now we have clients from auto industry very interested in V&V of their chips with XRay

As a glider pilot, this doesn’t surprise me at all…We are always on the lookout for those clouds and learn to interpret when they “pull” and when the cloud is dissipating (which means there is little chance of updraft under it).

Also, not all cumulus come from heated floor, it could be formed by different in temperatures and pressures in upper layers that pull hotter, stationary air from below, but there is no clear updraft from the ground up to be expected (usually common post-warm fronts or in troughs).

That sounds very much like something you could copy-paste on ChatGPT and get a somewhat good answer.

That you definitely would have to double check because it might be that it hallucinates.

Why are there dos DOSes in the title?

I got a Volkswagen with front assist and adaptive cruise control. I use it mainly for long runs with little traffic, that way my foot doesn’t get cramped for staying at the same position.

When crossing under some bridges, sometimes it decelerates and warns me of a collision, even if there is no one there. I have to override it by stepping on the gas pedal until I’m through.

I’ve also felt it hiccup on a test strip where they were testing radars, I was guessing it was due to them using similar frequencies, but I’m not sure on that one.

I’d say the key difference is the sheer amount of artists and styles. I’d argue it’s “easier” to make music than filming. That’s why I would foment independent creators.

You might be right on HBO and Disney not giving up their service, until customers don’t want to pay for it anymore, and they’ll seek other ways. That’s capitalism after all…

> It was inevitable given how things work.

It's like every technology: if this is how things work, and they are suboptimal, the optimal solution will be applied. If we say "oh to bad, it's how it's established", then people will go against the establishment if that means better capabilities.

> How could you "fix" it?

Take a look at the music industry, they have solved it pretty well. I can stream everything on Spotify paying very little, I get everything that I want and I don't have to pirate it anymore. So maybe fostering independent creation? Forbidding "exclusivity" clauses? Fostering independent studio creation?

> They could set the price really high.

Prices are elastic: bigger price, less demand, same benefit. So that doesn't cut it either.

> I have no GP (none accept new patients)

Sounds like you are living in Germany. I would consider it public health insurance but is a long way from universal healthcare. Although you may not be paying directly for a treatment, the whole medicine sector is private (I.e. there are no doctors directly working for the insurance provider). That causes some inefficiencies like hours of waiting in ER, doctors not accepting new patients etc.

Compared to other systems in the EU (where doctors work for the insurance provider, most often times the government itself) processes are way more streamlined, like getting a GP assigned depending on where you live. But “you get the healthcare that you need, not the one you want”. Other issue is that they are almost running at capacity, so things like a pandemic tip the system over quite easily…

It is a priori a good thing, but long delays may obviously cause also reputational damage… They just have to walk on eggshells for a while.

That’s a good switcharoo right there… Just as remark, it’s 39.37in :)

Americans will use any unit of measure but SI units… /s

Well you have no sources and you can be full of it. But following the scientific method, I’ll try your hypothesis next chance I have! :D

> Choosing Linux is the opposite of choosing stability.

I would argue that a close-source (at least before the leak), non-supported kernel is way more unstable and risky than an open-source, still maintained one (some kernels are actively maintained through 2033).

Bear in mind that the position was not about developing/maintaining the OS, but the applications that run on it.

Hold on, the criticality of the system they were developing was not that high, in the end they could use Linux, which to my understanding is not certified for any ASIL D application.

That with the scandal sounds interesting, so you have any pointers where I can get a good sum-up? :)

How do you measure the lack of support/resources for an operating system that is EOL? I don’t think there are that many Windows 3.1 developers out there… Linux in exchange is a bit broader.

Is it difficult to migrate to other distros in your case? I would argue the binaries should be similar…

Specially in terms of available resources. Given that there is not much demand for it, there are also not that many developers for it…

Haha good catch… It’s difficult coming from a Romance language to do that f-oh thing… for us it’s all the same and it goes with f ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I worked for a company doing this stuff, and I was always asking why didn’t they do the jump to Linux. The answer was that they already have something that they could adapt from previous versions which was already certified. So a sunken-cost phallacy.

Two years ago, the same developer was working on an even older system with BASIC… Which I guess they already retired.

My experience with phone and driving is it would be much better if Siri was remotely useful… Half of the times doesn’t understand what I ask, can’t take me somewhere when I ask her to, and can’t read the top hit of a search when asked a question, only answering with “Can’t show you the result while in the car”. I got to stop to reconfigure more often than not.

Transcription of messages is utterly broken when having conversations in different languages with different people. Why is it still bad with so many advances in LLMs and machine learning?

I am not presupposing anything, I am laying out a _possible_ scenario (see all the ifs?). I am just doubting safety procedures where followed as they should, which is the same thing the FAA is doing and that’s why they are investigating. If they were sure everything was fine, they wouldn’t do it.

Doubting, and scrutiny in safety-critical environments is not a bad thing, it is what makes things safer. I won’t defend Delta nor Boeing until the FAA sees the t’s crossed and the i’s dotted, and neither should you.

Type certificates are for the whole type, but you are right in that I got it wrong that airworthiness is done by the manufacturer: it’s actually done by CAMOs. In any case, FAA just gives the paper, but does not go around checking bolts and nuts.

Delta has its own CAMO (Delta TechOps), which I assume has done the maintenance of this aircraft, but it is yet to be seen whether they followed everything to the T or is there something missing from Boeing’s part.

As I said in another comment, I doubt everyone here (which is not bad, it’s just not assuming by default that everything is well done everywhere) and will wait for the FAA report.

A nose wheel detaching can also be innocuous or catastrophic, depending on the flight phase you find yourself in (detaches during take-off/landing and damages another system)

Every plane is equipped with a fire extinguishing box (for lack of the proper term) where you drop your battery and gets extinguished, air crew are trained on it. If you don’t have any warnings on the cabin, telling you that other systems are failing, you do not declare an emergency, you declare a fault (PanPan)

757 has a stellar record, but as you say, it’s showing its age. And that means more paperwork on Boeing releasing proper maintenance procedures, revising inspection intervals, releasing TNs, etc. which are mostly on program management, an area where Boeing has been lacking lately…

At no point I draw any conclusions, I am just putting in doubt (which is nothing bad, is just not assuming something as by default given) that Boeing has been doing everything by the book. And of course that’s something that will be investigated by the FAA, and I hope they have been doing everything well :)
