Interestingly, I have had the opposite experience. In a legit startup, at least one that is pre-significant revenue, when you are still looking for "market fit" (aka bleeding money), you don't have the time to reinvent the wheel. Its more like "Please god let there be some reasonably workable library already built for this so I can focus on the important stuff!"

Bigger companies IME, tend to be the ones that can afford to reinvent the wheel, and also tend to have the ~~arrogance~~ size to feel that they are a special enough snowflake to eschew something off the shelf and build something custom tailored exactly to their needs. They also have big enough budgets to be able to spare the manpower on it.

My experience has been largely in the financial space, maybe that is the key difference.
Yeah, I don't but literally all the neighbors do.
College is great: Community colleges to teach trades and remedial skills. Liberal arts colleges to teach ways of thinking to help people catalyze and deploy their creativity. Polytechnic colleges to teach science and engineering.

Diploma mills masquerading as colleges, granting degrees contingent upon work products unrelated to to future work obligations, are terrible.

The main thing wrong with colleges is that they grant degrees, instead of leaving that to professional certification authorities.

I suggest to read a bit more about AF447. This was 90% the missing idea of the other pilots that one pilot (i.e. the pilot flying) could be so extremely uneducated(i.e. stupid) to try to pitch up while stalling is imminent/occuring. The remaining 10% is the airbus fuckup of mixing inputs of both sticks.

That's also not even wrong. You can't see why?

Let's say we're imagining what Uranus would look like. I draw a picture, and say it should look like a "fuzzy Jupter." But you ask, why should it look that way? Do you have a reason? And I say you should be confident, but don't provide an argument. By the end, I start talking about how it might look like Saturn.

Then I come along and say, "it should be obvious the fuzziness is because it is far away."

That final statement is not even wrong. It misses the point.

While this is true, the point that it's worth thinking through the nature and consequences of "obviously erroneous" sensor data is still a valuable exercise holds.

If the temperature is past 280, generally speaking the same steps to diminish temperature can be taken (... I'm speaking broadly; this may not actually be true of nuclear reactors and if it's not, additional sensors with larger ranges were definitely warranted if there's discontinuity in the safety and disaster mitigation strategies at temps higher than 280).

There is no amount of automatic airplane wing trim that can arrest a 70-degree AOA. When the sensor's getting 70 degrees, the failsafe operation would have been to back out of the control calculation and defer to pilots.

This seems equivalent to "it is just a button, how hard can it be?" People outside of software rarely see the complexity they are suggesting or asking for.
I'm paying attention to the road ahead, so I wouldn't rear-end anybody. On the other hand, I have huge blind spots to the side and anyway my attention is mainly to the road ahead. I barely fit in the lane, and would easily crush you with my 3 to 5 tons. Recently I was driving with about 4 inches to the adjacent vehicles on each side. You don't fit in 4 inches; this is not a scrape. That came up unexpectedly, as the lanes narrowed and other large vehicles were beside me.
I imagine that was just a shorthand or maybe he misspoke. It would be a management decision, but they would most likely need to clear it with the investors. Frequently the funding deal between investors and management will even carve out a chunk of equity for incentives.

Walter Bradley Center Fellow Discovers Longstanding Flaw in Elementary Calculus
I read the conclusion much differently. It said that in a system with a high rate of error the 5W analysis is insufficient at directing investigators to a reasonable solution. A definition for reasonable in the case of healthcare is given. It suggested that context was important and that Toyota's engineering practices are sufficiently different from health care that the technique cannot be recommended.

I think the same may be true for networked software services as well. At a certain scale "root cause" becomes a matter of opinion or interpretation. Attempting to use a 5W methodology will lead you to one of many different, possible, causes but will ignore other confounding factors depending on who is doing the investigation and how it is conducted.

In my experience finding the root cause of a particularly nasty error in a production cloud system required a formal model to prove that a particular error was triggered under very specific circumstances. The error was not reproducible and a test case elusive and yet it frequently ate up our error budget. There was no way any kind of root-cause analysis could have detected that error. It was a behavior comprised of over a dozen steps where the conditions had to be right to trigger it. Humans are not good at finding things like that on their own and simply asking, "Why?" like a parrot is not helpful... the system is simply too complex.

Instead of root cause I like to think in terms of factors. What is the probability that a given factor has a high impact on our SLOs? Let's fix that. If we don't understand what the source of the problem is let's write a formal specification and test our assumptions and find the factor. Most of all, build for o11y and make reliability an engineering concern.

I recall sleep deprivation was found to be a factor in the Air France crash. The pilots weren’t thinking clearly.
AutoML is essentially training a ML model using some heuristics or optimization algorithm to select model architecture and train a model. Feature engineering / feature synthesis as well as interpretability remain open challenges.

If I'm understanding your questions correctly, the main problems I see with this are:

- Using raw data instead of feature engineering (less of a problem given feature synthesis libraries like https://www.featuretools.com/ and other heuristic methods). I'd expect Google to do a good job of basic things like normalization of raw input features before training.

- Using features that it really shouldn't (if you just throw ML at your database for say, loan applications, then sensitive
/ personally identifying information can/will be used as features)

- Lack of insight / understanding as to what is driving the model. This can be partially overcome with post-training methods like LIME, Shapley values, etc.

I wouldn't expect predictions to be from a set of discrete values - if (say) predicting housing values and training a NN, the output should be continuous and based on the input features.
But if bad politicians and greedy corporate types got us into this mess, how will they get us out? More importantly, and left unaddressed, is any suggestion of their incentives to do so. After all, the present system made them rich, powerful, and unaccountable.

Management also has to support the idea of blamelessness and the costs of investigation and remediation and to participate in reviews. Without that support it may work some of the time but often won't.
> How do you prevent a single check from slipping through?

For a start, by not ramming an essentially new type through all test flying & certfication testing in 17 months before declaring it ready for service.

There is a reason that the Soviet Ministry of Aviation made newly-approved types fly only cargo and mail for a year or more; not just because their techniques were 'unsophisticated' per the Western view but also because they understood that introducing a complex system into a complex environment of weather and human factors couldn't be fully modelled but had to be subjected to prolonged real-World experience.

I have domain name for an idea around a kickstarter type platform based on time.

You have a project that needs: 1000 hours of Data Collection, 50 hours of development time, etc.

But, you have a chicken and egg problem. If enough people put in the time, it would be successful, but only after a certain threshold of effort is met. No one wants to "go first" and put the risk in.

I feel like this could be a solution. If enough people pledge time (maybe with backups) the project could be a success.

Simple example might be an ebook with different chapters written but different authors.

Very basic rules of commercial aircraft design were violated during the development of 737MAX.

No point in listing all the issues here again. Let's just point out one: There should have been more than 2 AoA sensors feeding MCAS. No excuses.
Exactly, and this is what caused the crash. The other pilots simply did not think of one of them trying to pitch up.

This is well sourced, sadly not on wikipedia. But there are countless threads of real pilots.

I guess Air France had some influence.

To get to the top you have to in some way be competitive. Many of these people are hyper competitive, and while it is great in many ways, it sucks because it makes a person always want more. They don't want poor people to be poor, they just want to have more money than their other peers.
I recently bought a house built in the 1960s. It's surprisingly easy to add Cat6 to an older home as the interior walls aren't insulated. I've been adding drops as needed and it takes me about 30 minutes start to finish to run a new drop.

I ask for help as often as I need to when I need to get something done. Of course I try to explore other avenues first wen possible.

But you will probably find that if someone is answering other peoples a lot of the time then they probably enjoy it. A lot of people really appreciate being able to give help and support others. Asking for help can be akin to giving a gift for them.
One thing I don't understand is that if the trim is stuck in a position that pushes the plane down, shouldn't the high speed (and therefore strong air flow) help to put the trim back in a neutral position rather than making it more difficult?
Not a pilot yet myself, but I know exactly enough about flight physics and control to suspect that while you are likely correct about the MCAS jack-screw positioning being undesired, the solution is probably not to auto-return it to neutral.

If we assume MCAS is only disabled in an emergency, we don't want the result of cutting out an automated system to be further automatic manipulation of the control surfaces, right? That's one more weird behavior for the pilots to have to keep in their situational awareness while doing the most important step (i.e. flying the plane).
> Beyond 25 degrees, therefore, it is either sensor error or the plane is stalling/spinning and something more than a slow trim is going to be required.

I am not a pilot, and I'm going to take this pilot at his word. But my first question would be, if we add this additional rule into the system (that runaway trim turns off above 25° AOA), will any pilot ever need to know about this rule?

If the answer is "absolutely not, never" then that's all well and good. But if there's some way-out-there scenario where the plane is wavering between 24° and 26° AOA, and in that scenario the pilot needs to be aware that the computer's trim behavior is switching back and forth between two different laws, then I'd want to ask whether that's presenting pilots with too much complexity.

There's a rule of thumb in software design, when we're thinking about designing a complicated system to solve some messy problem. Will users have to deal with the system getting things wrong? If the answer is pretty much never, then the system can be very complicated if that means doing a good job. But if the answer is that the system won't always be right, and that users will have to step in some of the time, then making the system complicated inevitably means that users will have to learn all that complexity. I wonder if that applies here.

Who cares if we drop the standards to earn a degree? In a theoretical world where high-quality public education is freely available, who cares about earning a degree at all?

The most successful and competent people who I have ever worked with don't share much in the way of education, but they all feel some sort of passion and drive for what they do. They see potential in their work and think about it all the time, so they are good at it and they have a lot of useful insights.

"Education" shouldn't be a simple signal that you have enough diligence and financial werewithal to consistently show up in the same place over the course of 4 years. It should be a lifelong process of both asking and informing people what they are capable of.

Personally, I think the all-or-nothing approach of primary school->secondary school->career->grave is a huge waste of people. I think we just need to figure out how to provide adults with the time and safety to uproot their lives for a couple of years at a time.

If you think that this is how it will go, you're very naive. If schools and parents can't block porn anymore, prepare for more legislation that blocks porn by default at the ISP unless you pay some kind of fee - like what the UK has proposed. Also look for a return of "content standards" for sites that want to be kept off the "porn list", like the old broadcast TV content standards.

Google Authenticator is just Google's front end to an open standard (TOTP). Authy, 1Password, various CLI apps, they all implement this same standard.

Lots of independent websites market this form of 2FA as "Google Authenticator". It's kinda like asking people to enter their gmail address (rather than their email address).

Eitherway, TOTP is a big step away from putting all your 2FA eggs in Google's basket.
This isn’t a recent thing. I’m no expert in this field but my understanding is that most of the old masters had a “studio” full of assistants and apprentices who were largely responsible for the work attributed to the artist.
Thank you for these numbers. I just went to the German configurator to have a look at the exact prices. This is what I get: 540i base model with M package is €66250 base price after taxes, straight from the BMW dealer.

But in Europe, we have VAT, depending on the country, 19 to 21%.

Before the taxes, the price is: €55672. Considering the exchange rate of 1.12 USD to EUR, still significantly more expensive than in the US but far, far off of the €100k.

Diesel is by default more expensive because of better economy.

Oh, and he didn't even touch on things like liquidation preference and participation. Basically says that even though they own X% of the company, they get paid out like it was 4*X. Or maybe they get $YY out before anybody else gets paid.

This means that the percentage of the company your shares equate to is only a small part of the picture. You also need to know what deals were cut with every investor now _or in the future_ to know what your shares will be worth.
Yeah I don't think I agree with the assessment that better models are a function of finding better hyper parameters (entirely). Like, in my limited experienced,stacking and packing models (the 'lift' required by individual models), adjusting ones thinking regarding 'how' they go from data-in >> product out and 'what' it is were trying to predict, pipe-lining annotation and scaling its distribution, are far more effective at generating better ML models than tuning hyper parameters.

Generally, if a model is not performing or generating unexpected results, its almost always the data or how the question is being structured.

> everytime he let the nose of the plane come down the stick shaker activated again as the AoA was decreasing into the range that the airplane considered a real signal

That's true, but the pilot response was insanity. When the stick shaker comes on you push the nose down every time without question, unless perhaps you're at very low altitude and then you might be in an unrecoverable situation anyway... but you don't pull back :)
