The FAA deliberately uses "certificated" as opposed to "certified" when referring to pilots and flight instructors.

It insists that conveys a distinct and useful meaning because they don't certify pilot quality. Instead, the pilot has been issued a certificate confirming that they passed a test to a particular minimum standard. The reason for the difference is to convey that there is no assurance or guarantee that the pilot consistently and continuously meets this standard. Unlike with a "certified used car", the FAA is not going to be held responsible if your pilot crashes your plane.

Reference: I am an FAA-certificated Flight Instructor and Commercial Pilot.

> I’m focusing on chips designed for training

TPU 1 is designed for inference AFAIK.

> TPU v2: 45 TFLOPs

I think it would be great to clarify that what is commonly referred to as "TPU v2" (e.g. on GCP pricing, also what is shown in the image in this article), consists of 4 such modules with 8 cores total, which gives a more commonly quoted value of 180 TFLOPs.
I feel like I've wasted my time reading into this controversy for how absurd it sounds unless I'm missing some other crucial information.

From what I've gathered from the various references, a mod questioned if the use of gender neutral pronouns such as "they" would be acceptable in response to new rules being announced to moderators that the persons specified pronouns should be used. Despite the fact these rules were not even implemented officially, the mod was terminated immediately.

Now what we see here is them backtracking, but I don't believe they have reinstated the mod. So I don't believe they think are truly remorseful and have realized they overstepped the mark.

I always go to Web Archive to get a guestimate. It also helps because you can see how an article evolved.
You are just counting literally the time the first person starts talking till the last person ends, and even then its going to be closer to 10 minutes.

If you add up the time people have stopped working while waiting for the meeting, the time you take to gather people to a room, wait for the last one to arrive, start, go back, it's been 20 minutes total, and when standups derail and people start talking a lot it goes over half an hour.

You need to count the total overhead time. I mean come on, 10 minutes before the standup you are not really working full steam, right? You know you are about to have a meeting, so you are chatting with colleagues and checking email instead of working on your main tasks. That time should count too.

Putzmeister (concrete pumps) is doing well. There is an article in German: https://m.dw.com/de/sany-und-putzmeister-eine-perfekte-ehe/a... I heard the same from locals living in the village with Putzmeister headquarters. Chinese investor let the company operate as it did before acquisition.

Kuka is doing not that good: https://m.dw.com/en/changes-at-german-robotics-firm-kuka-rai... But I am not sure if Chinese investor is the problem. Kuka had often problems in the past.

It’s not enough statistical data for serious conclusions, but I assume that these investors are trying to buy more companies in foreign countries and not to scare locals.
Recommending Hetzner Cloud as well. They had some connectivity problems 6-12 months ago, but seem very stable in the last months. They provide backup and snapshot features, floating IPs, internal networking and mountable volumes as well - which can be handy in comparison to a barebones server from e.g. Kimsufi where you have to manage everything yourself. Hetzners lowest tier is "much" cheaper than DO and co.

Absurd argument against private sector. It claims that "Just 100 companies responsible for 71% of global emissions, study says" but when you read the study you realize that 99% of these companies are state owned and directed corporations, like Petroleos de Venezuela SA (PDVSA) or Abu Dhabi National Oil Co, just to cite examples. Again, the anticapitalism bias is absurd, since capitalism is the most sustainable system in comparison with others. I want to remember to those who believe the goverment will provide the best option, that goverments created the worst environmental disasters: Chernobyl, Aral sea (now gone forever), Four Pests Campaign and the list keeps going.

This style of working (where working lines are in physical proximity to workers) was called "Red zone" (where "Green zone" would be if the workers are not in proximity to a working line because the line was closed to traffic) and now is called "Open line" working.

It is unavoidably dangerous, and planners are supposed to choose it only when other options aren't practical, but in reality they often pick "Open line" for convenience. For example maybe the workers would prefer to do this on Tuesday midday, so we plan it as "Open line" and schedule it for Tuesday 1145, rather than for 0400 on Thursday when we can just shut the line to do it safely. This gets people killed, but because it doesn't reliably kill the specific people you scheduled most of the time it feels OK to them and to you.

This is also why unions aren't enough to implement safety. Unions represent workers and the workers feel like convenience is more valuable than safety. A 1-in-1000 chance to die, for five minutes extra coffee break is a good deal, until you're the 1-in-1000 and then it sucks. In the UK signaller unions fought very hard to continue working 12 hour shifts instead of maximum 8 hours. Because working 3x 12 hour shifts and then the rest of the week off is _convenient_ even though it was excessively dangerous if anything goes wrong.
That looks overall neat, though i'm not sure if i like the "." as a subroutine terminator - "end" would be better IMO. Also if this is meant to be used for teaching kids programming i'm not sure if the gambling bits in the Monte Carlo section would be appreciated by everyone :-P.

I really do like the trace mode though (but i'd make the variable display a bit more prominent, like on a grid or something and perhaps making the variables that are changed as red with a quick fadeout to black - pulse-like - to show what exactly was changed for that step).

Also, this is me, but i'd really prefer it if it was a small redistributable desktop application, QBasic-style :-P.

Hi Adrien

I'm currently doing the "develop in jupyter notebooks, deploy in python scripts" thing, however I'm only deploying predictive models, using AWS Lambda.

Would Streamlit be a good fit for this? I can see the value of the inline visualisation for code demos, testing, etc but it is not clear how I would then go about deploying any part of this into production ML environment, where the "data vis" part is less useful.

I'd love something that allowed me to deploy some code to Lambda, while also deploying Streamlit as a "swagger docs" type of explanation/exploration tool showing how what I've built works.

I'm going to try and build this into my current deployment, but I don't see anything on Streamlit in terms of an opinion on "deployment" concepts/options.
Hey. Thanks for this comment, it really feels like a breath of fresh air. Do you have more to say on this topic?
> I agree the Linux desktop has a come a LONG way in recent years and it is soooo close.

I've been hearing that since the late 90s. The uncomfortable truth is that Linux will never be a suitable Desktop environment because the Linux community doesn't care about the Desktop market. Ubuntu, Red Hat and various open source funds have more than enough money to hire top notch UX designers. But, they don't.
You can't put 10 people in a room for a meeting for just a couple of minutes, that does not exist. The time people spend before the meeting not working just chatting around waiting, the natural inertia of the group it takes time to get everyone in a room.

Count the whole overhead time, from the moment people stop working normally waiting for the meeting, till the moment people come back to their seats, add up the extra coffee pause that people take afterwards that people would not usually take.

You are looking on average, at easily 15 to 20 minutes per person minimum a day, probably more.
When this was first noticed (2013) I recall statements (possibly speculative) that the irradiated part of the Magellanic Stream might have glowed brightly enough to be visible in the night sky. If so, it would have subtended about half a degree, about the same width as the moon and the sun.
You imply there were no benefits from lhc?

That's how import substitution works.

Import substitution isn't about picking winners, it's about forcing local industry to pick up the demand.

A city-state is a completely irrelevant comparison to an entire continent.

PS I don't know if import substitution was a good strategy for south american contries to follow. As pointed out, it didn't work very well for them. It did work in other places at other times.
MTK is quite good, but it's becoming worse in the perf/$ ratio, i.e. the SC9863A is a octa core A55 chip at 1.5GHz, while similar MTK devices are dual core A7 at 1.2 GHz. The architecture improvements alone are excellent, not mentioning the extra cores and higher clock speed.

The key is most certainly not the same, because I doubt they would go through the trouble of doing actual secure boot verification, and storing the data in the TEE, and just have the same key. Additionally, the U-boot code I obtained lies to the user about commands not being found, if the command doesn't contain a valid unlock key.
Stand corrected, but doesn't change the fact of what is coming to Kotlin as well.

I remember in University us going onto Sun's website and pricing out one of their high end 600Mhz Sparc workstations, maxed out on ram and drive space. I think we got it up to $11k.

Some of us got a hold of decade old Sparc stations sold at auction and put RHEL on them. I remember they had 25Mhz Sparc processors, 100MB SCSI hard drives, held a crazy amount of ram sticks, Sony Trinitron monitors with RGB coax inputs, those crazy laser mice that required a grid plate mouse pad (which sucked for tracking). Back when they were new, they cost $12k each. In 2000 we bought them for like $25 for a pallet of 30.
> Depends on the size of your team.

Why does it depend on the size of your team? Teams involved in agile development (where they do the whole daily standup kerfuffle) are supposed to not get to 10+ people. That's like the third thing on the agile coach's slide.

Besides, why does it take a full-team standup to find out someone has expertise and ideas in an area that you didn't know about? Are the lead developers/managers sleeping at their desks? Guiding and bringing people together is one of the things they're paid for. They should know who's good at what, and steer the right people (or the right tasks) towards them. If they aren't doing their job, what the team needs is people who do, not one more thing that developers have to figure out on their own time.

As for brainstorming -- it shouldn't be unexpected in the first place. Not on a regular basis, anyway. If a developer needs that brainstorming session, they should have the means to make it happen, with only the interested people attending. If they need it, but don't know they need it -- especially common, and especially excusable for junior developers -- that's why we have lead developers and managers.

And meetings are not the only way to spread information! If a team has 10, 15 members or more and it's spreading information by word of mouth alone, whether 1:1 or in meetings, that's already a problem. At that point you should have things documented. New members should have an M that they can RTF and ask experienced team members about. If a team got to that size and the only way to spread information is in person, that's something they should remedy, not keep doing!
I believe the suggestion is that many recipes with metric measurements will use grams (measuring mass), while most American recipes use cups/tablespoons/etc. (measuring volume). I've noticed this and have no idea why it's the case.
I concur. You can see the same thing on HN, if you look closely. For a new or infrequent user, all comment threads are randos talking to other randos. For a frequent commenter who's been here for a while now, it's a community with a lot of transient commenters, but also a lot of regulars, who recognize each other's handles and sometimes carry discussions across time and multiple comment threads - and it's a big part of the value of this place. If HN was to suddenly replace all usernames with their SHA-1 hashes, being here would get much less interesting.

I would encourage Monica to watch out for any "Let's keep this private" language. In situations like this one some organizations have tried to disempower people by barring them from discussion with advisors, family or others.

Another way they do this is by saying, as in the apology "keep those discussions completely private unless we both agree to share any of it with the community" but they will phrase it as a binding agreement.

LaTeX was invented in the U.S. (as was Unix, as was the transistor), so it makes sense for the default to be letter size.

It makes sense for there to be a system-wide setting to override the software default, so folks who use some other standard can set it once and never worry about it again.

It should respect LC_PAPER on GNU systems, too.
Because you have to think upfront what are you going to say. You might me interrogated in front of everyone else about something that you are doing, and will have to come up with an answer on the spot.

This is obviously stressful, and psychologically pressures you to try to finish the task ASAP the day before, so that you can come up to the meeting and just say its done.

Which is the real actual benefit of the standup, and why managers keep doing it, despite they are obviously not needed and in most cases a waste of time.

The standup keeps everyone on their heels and feeling like their every breath is monitored and accounted for.

let me start with some piece of wisdom: scrum is not a silver bullet. It may not solve your problem, and create additional ones if done improperly.

Also, scrum is not written on stone. If something from scrum does not work for your team/company culture, don't use it. Dont like standups ? dont have them. Dont like poker planning ? Don't play it.

The process should help you achieve your goals easier and quicker. If the process is hindering your work, just don't follow it.

That does not match my observed reality at all. All natural languages I know are gendered the same way English is.

Singular "they" is already exceedingly uncommon by itself; and across all the languages, and in my whole life-time, never once I or a conversation partner used "they" instead of the specialised pronoun, or mixed in a conversation, when the gender of the person in question is explicitly known as GP wrote. The same is true for all written material I read in my whole life.

Since there are few comments let me start off with perhaps an unusual anecdote.

I have seen hypoxia (as in insufficient oxygen) with people who do the Wim Hof Method (a breathing technique to keep you from freezing to death).

It’s very disconcerting to see as the people practicing it black out and are irresponsive. Luckily, there was doctor supervision and they rushed with oxygen masks to the persons with insufficient oxygen whenever it happened as this was a medical experiment.

It took about 2 minutes for some to be conscious again and respond to: what’s your name?

My own experience was a blackout for 10 seconds and I was watching at a stopwatch at the time and I remember seeing the 10 immediately change to a 20, followed with the question: what’s your name Melvin? Apparently they asked me that from 11 to 20.
