And no one is saying that… not even the comment you’re replying to.
It makes a good point though, there’s so much going on in the executive branch right now. Much of it is destructive imo. This is a great distraction for most Americans who aren’t very tuned into politics in general.
Comments decrying or dismissing the disclosure to the public of long-hoarded information is saying that, IMO, and that's the joke. It sounds like a point no reasonable person would make. "there's too much going on right now for this long-awaited transparency" has got to be the silliest thing I've heard on HN in a while.
Something can be highly anticipated and utterly inconsequential at the same time. (See Star Wars Episode 1 as a primary example)
These assassinations were tragic and criminal and shocking at the time, but one has to be Gen X or older to have any emotional connection to them. To the rest of us, it’s just a chapter in our history books that’ll get a new paragraph or two appended now.
To be frank, there are far more important things here than the JFK conspiracy. I am glad it’s being released, but it’s okay to have issues around the context in which it’s being released. It’s clear with the stack of other executive orders that this is intended as a distraction.
In the meanwhile, we have things like the equal employment opportunity act of 1972 being repealed.
If you think that last one is a good thing then I see why you’re being reactive.
> In the meanwhile, we have things like the equal employment opportunity act of 1972 being repealed.
This isn't true. Executive Order 11246 got repealed, which people have lately been calling the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1965 even though that was never its name. The Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 is still the law of the land and Trump has made no attempt to repeal it.
2.4GHz radio is faster than most wired connections - though the top-end ones with custom high-hertz implementations are slightly better than wireless.
Radio is also generally significantly more consistent - even when the polling rates are identical. You can see this if you look at the testing done by RTings for mice and keyboards. The latency when using 2.4GHz wireless is extremely consistent, while for standard wired connections, the latency varies drastically from input to input.
Bluetooth is crap and should never be used for gaming inputs. It's both high latency and inconsistent.
[EDIT]: apologies, my reading comprehension needs work. I thought you were referring to the 737 MAX, not the 777
What? Do you have a source for the last one? That sounds like corporate propaganda.
It’s well understood AND PROVEN that the MCAS system (which was a system borrowed from decades old military code) was at fault for this incident. Saying it was suicide seems incredibly disrespectful to both pilots…
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_Air_Flight_610
In the article it even states they found the wreckage…
I guess I misunderstood the comment I was replying to. The parent comment mentions the 737 MAX so I assumed that’s what the commenter was referencing.
I have read up on the 777 and yes, I agree it’s incredibly safe statistically (as is the 787). I didn’t realize the commenter was talking about the Malaysia flight either. Apologies to them
I’m in my mid 20s and FRC was probably my favorite high school memory. From the community, to the challenges, to the robots you get to participate in building. It’s such a cool program.
Hopefully it gains higher adoption among other public schools, FRC was foundational to my SWE journey
I’m a SWE now, but being on the build team of FIRST taught me an incredible amount and now that I’m a homeowner I’m realizing how applicable it is. I remember cutting 2x4s to build demo field parts and now I’m building walls of my home out of the same material with the same tools I used as a teenager.
Same, I’m in my late 30s and it’s one of my best high school memories as well. Learned so much, made so many great friends, and worked with amazing technologies.
Language models aren’t AI no matter how hard you squint. When we get actual AI (not counting on anytime soon) it will be more than the annoyed developer that loses their job
> Language models aren’t AI no matter how hard you squint.
While you are free to make up any definition you want on the spot, so are others. Yes, language models are just plain old boring machine learning like any other, but machine learning is a subset of what most people consider to be the area of AI.
> When we get actual AI (not counting on anytime soon) it will be more than the annoyed developer that loses their job
Again, while you can define things however you please, so can everyone else. This is what most people would consider AGI, not AI.
A better term is 'machine'. The "AI revolution" has been causing friction for several centuries already, most famously with Luddites' fight against AI looms.
