Ha! I know that pilot. Indeed a very experienced man. In case anyone wonders: that airplane was fixed and flies again.

[shameless plug] This might not answer your question directly, but it is perhaps useful to know that the probabilistic programming approach can also be applied in non-probabilistic (non-statistical) ways. I developed a ranked programming

[shameless plug] Ranked programming is like probabilistic programming but you don't use probabilities. Instead, you state how your program normally behaves and how it may exceptionally behave. Conceptually it's very similar to pro

Currently working with DrRacket 7.2 on Mac OS X. What bugs me is that everything becomes unresponsive while executing heavy stuff or code that does not terminate. The stop/kill button usually does nothing and force-quitting the app is

While I too worry about political influence through abuse of social media, this article doesn't prove that this actually took place. What we see here is that there are some very dubious twitter accounts with some interactions. But are

And the low budget Acorn Electron, a kind of stripped down and partially compatible BBC. As I understand it, the Electron was a bit of a commercial failure. However this caused remaining stock to be dumped (at least in the Netherlands) at r

You may have the patience but I do suspect that the majority of people doesn’t. I also don’t think it is necessarily about respect or admiration. In day to day interactions, people just prefer to use the most efficient means available to un

Let me copy/paste my reply from the same discussion yesterday ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18531650 ): There's another "solution" to this paradox: if we assert something we are guided by a set of

There's another "solution" to this paradox: if we assert something we are guided by a set of "conversational principles". For example, asserting "X implies Y" if we know that X is false is inappropriate.

You're right, I meant the exact opposite: an even exchange is good if you're ahead, bad when you're behind.
79.
by tr352 8y ago
Yes you're right, I meant the exact opposite.

by tr352 8y ago
Similar to an even exchange in chess. If you’re behind it’s a good deal, if you’re ahead it’s bad. Of course evaluating value taking into account positions (and thus determining whether an exchange is really “even”) is not straightforward.

I think we have to distinguish computer science from engineering here. Computer science is a branch of mathematics, where theories are developed and results are obtained that in principle remain valid for ever. Think of theories of comp

True but arguably due to very specific favourable circumstances for the RU side. This stands in stark contrast with the ongoing war in Eastern Ukraine. Like WW1, this is a war of attrition, but perhaps less intense.

True. ASA still makes them but I suppose the only reason they're still made is that it's been considered standard classroom equipment for the past 70 years, combined with the well known universal dislike for change in the aviation

I got familiar with a slide rule when I studied for my pilot's license, through the "E6B flight computer"[1]. This is essentially a slide rule for specialised calculations (knots-km/h, gallons-litres, density altitude, e
