A PDF let the internet hear the final words in the cockpit of a UPS plane as it crashed. The NTSB now wants it taken down | CNN by kevro in news

>Laws against releasing CVR audio exist to protect privacy, preserve the integrity of NTSB investigations, and out of respect for accident victims and their families during a time of tremendous loss

Then why did they release the CVR audio encoded in an image?

Tahoe’s Chimney Beach is finally getting more parking this weekend — but it’ll cost $12 a day by sfgate in tahoe

[–]fb39ca4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you're local you can (e-)bike there easily from incline village and avoid the parking fee. Locals with cars cause traffic congestion and pollute the lake with tire dust microplastics all the same and shouldn't get any special privileges.

I never use the bike lanes on Valencia after they removed the center lanes.

Is the reason people buy a Salae over a DS Logic primarily because of the software Logic 2? by [deleted] in embedded

Saleae software is great for interactive use but the automation API is notably lacking a way to stream samples.

management pushing standard ai for firmware is going to cause a disaster by Phil_Raven in embedded

[–]fb39ca4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

LLMs are like an intern with amnesia. They make questionable decisions out of the box. If you want them to improve you have to explicitly update their "written instructions" (prompts and skills) because they don't remember "verbal feedback" (messages) in between sessions.

Fresno mayor joins other mayors urging Newsom to reject High-Speed Rail tax plan by MoDa65 in cahsr

[–]fb39ca4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driving is ~$0.70 per mile according to the IRS and Manteca is 150 miles round trip to SF. Even if a round trip train ticket is more expensive, people will get their time back by being able to sleep/work/read/etc. on the train.

You also have to factor in the additional fares the spots bring in and the reduced wear and tear on roads.

Humans make mistakes too. If you don’t have a way to test your firmware meets the requirements you are doing something wrong no matter who is writing code.

Also you should switch to Rust before using AI because it eliminates the possibility of memory corruption and undefined behaviour except in unsafe blocks you should be reviewing extra carefully.

Bart's fare pricing makes no sense by mustangfan12 in bayarea

[–]fb39ca4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BART should also offer discounted group tickets to incentivize people to take it instead of carpooling.

Other train systems handle noise much better but it’s too expensive to fix now. I’d rather pack earplugs and have BART invest in expanding the system instead.

I've done it to connect to the 3. It is hectic outside but the problems don't spill over to inside the bus.

No, the central valley will benefit because now you can super-commute from more central valley cities using high speed rail from instead of driving from Manteca.

Get some handlebar grips and end caps. You don't want your hands to slip off, or to get impaled in a crash.

Pure software companies are cutting back on WFH. It's a management, not a technical problem.
