Is there a paper explaining it in more detail? I also saw on his website he has a similar algorithm for audio compression...

The examples unsolved by high compute o3 look a lot like the raven progressive matrix tests used in IQ tests.

When their smart young people leave to earn more money abroad, wouldn't it make sense to take smart young people from other countries that aren't that materialistic? Just asking for a friend...

I was always fascinated by siberia. Pretty sad that visiting it will be off the table for many years now.

From my experience with a lot of hilarious SQL stuff I have seen in the wild.

It would be a good start to read the paper of codd and trying to understand what the relational model is. It's only 11 pages long and doing that would reduce the suffering in this world.

It depends on so many things, but in a climate where someones income depends on the performance it is easy to understand they behave defensive.

As a counter example I worked for a small company where the owner is a very good software engineer. I knew that he knew that I know what I'm doing.

So we could freely talk about problems without the toxicity that often comes with it.

He didn't kill someone. He bailed out of a malfunctioning plane with little time to decide.

If his plane went towards the ground with mach 1 at 1900 feet impact would occur in 1.5 seconds.

He was at 1900 feet and could not be sure in which direction the plane was going.

If the plane would fly towards the ground with mach 1 it would have hit it in 1.5 seconds.

> The investigation report said the F-35′s transponder failed as a result of the electrical malfunction

Reading the article before posting comments could help.

But it doesn't proof that it was possible for the pilot to know this.

When a modern aircaft like this has an electrical failure I would feel very uncomfortable.

He also lost part of his displays during conditions with little sight.

So imo the question should be if it would have been possible for him to check if the airplane is really out of control, in a way that it wouldn't cost his life if it was.

So there is serious electrical malfunction and the pilot loses communication and also some of his displays multiple times.

In hindsight we know it wasn't that serious and the plane could have kept flying.

But how can the pilot figure that out, while flying the aircraft? One needs to evaluate decisions based on the information available at the time the decision was made.

What is also great about C# is that the language server for editor support uses the real compiler. I once set that up with emacs and it is by far the best experience I had in emacs with any language.
