This was a surprisingly easy read for a non-computer science person. Thanks for sharing.

I haven't a clue, but if this one is ever solved, it will be an engineering story for the ages. Good luck

I was a heavy smoker for 18 years before I quit. It has been decades since then, and I sometimes look back at myself at that age and sometimes think "what a destructive product to allow on the market given that the upsides are so littl

If you can afford the fees, more power to you. Learning for the sake of learning is not a bad thing after all. If you can't afford the fees and have to borrow money, take a second to consider doing this when you are 65 and tuition is (

That face has connected some unknown person's afternoon activity to millions of eyeballs in the future. Whoever you were, thanks for leaving this for us to see. The water levels would have likely been similar in your time, and I hope w

I cancelled my account after the last ToS update, and my Roku is going into the next e-waste collection event. Fortunately, that password was never reused

This is encouraging to see, as Science has, at times, become illiberal, attacking those who challenge the conventionally accepted view. This shows that (at least in this field), Scientists are capable of introspection and eager to let the d

RIP those who perished - I can't imagine the horror of feeling the ground vanish beneath me. I only hope for their sakes that they died instantly and felt no pain. Thousands of workers who's livelihoods depend on this port being o

That is a great feat, of course, however, the bigger issue will be war experience. No matter how many drills they do, there is something to be said for actual combat experience. If I were magically given a fantastic guitar, I would likely s

Largely immigration. The points-based system and the reasonable wait times for permanent residency makes it an attractive option

I agree with your larger point, but I think the article was referring to how content moderation supported Reddit's goal of going public. From that perspective, it is irrelevant whether the good subreddits stay or leave, or which modera

Wow! The optics of a nation unable to control its borders during election season should be giving Biden heartburn. If immigration is a Federal Issue, he is going to own this problem at a time when 10K votes could swing a state into Trump&#x

Why not target a fast-food application, where taking orders would have no liability implications? The $9/hr would be far less than the $15/hr some of the more liberal states have set as minimum wage.

Why target a regulated industry like nursing, I wonder? Wouldn't it be easier to use AI in, say, a drive through window at a fast-food joint? No liability could be a big upside, and the universe of conversations at the drive through wo

This is an impressive example of the Government making a strategic decision to diversify and executing on it. It would have been so much easier to kick the can down the road. Good for them

For those interested in a pilot's view of this incident, check out MentourPilot's latest video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5K9HBiJpuk&ab_channel=Mento... About 45 min into the video, he quotes a techniqu

Plenty of scientists are brilliant, plenty work hard. But only some are driven by the statement she made in the video: "I was fortunate to be able to do something of benefit to mankind". This is just so impressive...what a valuabl

A cursory web search suggests that Visual Studio is the most popular IDE. The collective decisions of thousands of developers appears to contradict the article's recommendation of NeoVim / Emacs.

Wow, this brings back so many memories. The sharp click of the carrom pieces hitting each other, the slightly deeper clack of them hitting the sides of the board, talcum powder to help them glide, and all the family members watching with ba

I hear you. However, the mechanics won't change the windscreen to the "dumbed down" version due to, wait for it...LIABILITY. If they did, and you crashed, you could play victim and blame it on them disabling a system you thou

Thanks for picking up on it. I'm leaving it unchanged as it is too funny in this context. :-)

Actually, yes, I did know it was a new incident. The root cause of this latest incident has not, to my knowledge, been identified, and this could well be a completely different failure mode. Pretty sure they did the vigilance on the failure

Of course it did. thus is exactly why flying is the safest mode of transportation. Every learning from every incident gets fed back to make all aircraft safer.

I was truly amazed at the cost of relatively minor collusion damage on a friend's EV. ICEs are not much better. I replaced a wi dscreen on an old 2015 and it cost $400. the mechanic said I was lucky the next year's version had a b

James Baker, Sec. of State met with Shevardnadze (sp?) in the 90s and agreed with Russia that in exchange for a United Germany tied to NATO, there would be iron-clad guarantees that NATO forces wouldn't move eastwards. I remember this

I love everything about this article. She found a real-world problem, considered the possible side-effects of her solution and made it specific to the insect in question, and melded different disciplines to make this all come together. Not

I really find it unhelpful to read these kinds of articles. We all know about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and countless other narratives that mould public opinion in the country of origin. The stable solution was for NATO to stay i

Glad this did not turn into a tragedy. Too soon, of course, to know what caused this, but, if history is any guide, any learnings will get applied to make planes safer.
