I think it often depends on how large the team is. On a team with many developers per model, ML Engineer to me means someone who does the engineering to support models and is distinct from a researcher or a scientist. ML engineers will not do the science side of the equation (model architectures, optimizing scientific metrics like accuracy) except for when their engineering work impacts the science side (e.g. figuring out how to optimize model throughput without impacting scientific metrics).

On smaller teams, the titles mean less - but I rarely see ML engineer positions for small teams.

ML involves both science and engineering. ML engineer by definition sits on the engineering side of the fence, but how much of the science they are involved in will vary by company.
>Are you saying guns are not out of control, or guns being out of control is not an issue?

Guns are inanimate objects and thus are not capable of being out of control.

>Also, if you were to substitute "nukes" or "ebola vials" for "guns" in your argument, would it still stand?

Yes, no, and yes. Ebola is a living thing that can act independently once released. Even a nuke either explodes or doesn't.

The issue I'm trying to raise is not so much about guns, but the propaganda phrase used to promote citizen disarmament. The subject is accurately described as citizen disarmament, because of the exceptions included in every second amendment infringing law. They invariably exempt authority from the restrictions when the second amendment explicitly prohibits exactly this.

If every law they passed an tried to pass applied also to the military, police, and retired police then it would actually be "gun regulation". But it never does, so it is is not firearms regulation, but citizen (and only citizen) disarmament.

> Browser vendors can carry small patches against Chromium but significant changes are very costly to carry long-term as the code changes under you. Furthermore, Google controls how heavy that burden is for you.

This is fundamentally wrong; at any point anyone can hard fork chromium and then the long term costs of maintenance and rate of code change are completely out of Google's control.

> In practice browser vendors...

This is because Google generally makes great choices with Chrome that don't need to be second guessed. One of the reasons for Chrome's ubiquity is Google makes a great browser.
I never really understand this argument. People make it about increasing the frequency of blood tests too. Or MRIs. Doctors are afraid of finding "incidentalomas", but why can't we instead just change the way we think about the data?

More data does not inherently mean more scares. If anything, it means that a false positive here and there will be less likely to upend someone's life, because doctors will be more focused on identifying trends, and will be more able to simply ignore outliers.
The Young Ones inveigled its way into my psyche growing up and I'm sure I'd be a different person if I hadn't watched and rewatched it. Incredibly of-its-time-UK 80s now, but wild nonetheless. There's a low-quality VHS rip on the 'net somewhere of the frantic production process of the show which is both slightly enchantment-breaking and fascinating. They did so many takes of the circular-saw-through-the-bed gag due to technical issues! Without the laugh track production all sounds rather stressful for everyone, but also shows how much in-house BBC known-how was involved in the production.
No, actually, they meant anaerobic. There's a trend nowadays where organic matter is steeped in water in a sealed container and allowed to decay without oxygen and the water is used to water plants, hence "compost tea." Maybe "compost" isn't strictly a good word for it but that's what they call it.

Because it feeds mainly endless insubstantialities to its users and encourages others to produce the same.

Even if not, its programmers or their bosses determine what millions of users will see (and by extension think), which may change arbitrarily.

I know this may be old-school thinking but why can't we reserve the internet to utilities and non-algorithmic spoon-feeding?
this is exactly the response I was hoping for.

in my case, I do still have much better tooling for dealing with state-machines-as-code. but it's a helpful reminder that the tooling for step functions, if I had the time to build it, could potentially be significantly simpler since it would be dealing with a smaller set of possibilities.

A bigger problem would probably be that consumer routers are built as quickly and as cheaply as possible. Every megabyte of additional storage costs cents on the dollar extra and even that gets shaved off if possible. All the router security research I've seen done by well-intending academics got turned away by manufacturers because they don't want to ship additional software in their already-constrained images.

Rust, on the other hand, has all the downsides of static compilation combined with the library bloat we see in nodejs.

For a home router to run Rust, you'd probably need to compile the entire router into a single firmware image doing everything or you'd need to build an extensive dynamic linking system on top of the existing Rust infrastructure. Or, alternatively, convince the router manufacturers to spend another dollar or two on their EEPROM, but good luck getting them to do that.

Finally, the core parts of the system (the drivers running the DSL/cable/fiber/wifi hardware) are all closed source blobs that the manufacturers (be it Broadcom, Intel, Cisco, or Qualcom) need you to load and execute, usually written in a language like C with none of the benefits of Rust. Unless you want to rewrite the drivers in Rust (and good luck to you reverse engineering all of those and fighting the cease and desist letters you receive), the core parts of the system are still vulnerable as all hell.

The configuration can be made reasonably simple; OpenWRT has a GUI that can easily be dumbed down enough so normal folk can use it. Even in consumer routers, a lot of configuration is still dumped to text files already, anyway.
Just curious, what are the differences between normal LCD's and automotive-grade LCD's?
I purchased a first gen Zen CPU around when they first came out and noticed a lot of random issues on Linux that often resulted in full system crashes; usually due to C-State stuff and other times due to various motherboard firmware issues that only Linux users seemed to experience.

They didn't take too long to get fixed but you needed the latest versions of the kernel to keep up with them. However other than those first few months my experiences match yours and I have experienced zero issues.

I could see it being possible someone possibly still using an older version of the kernel would still experience these issues, especially if they haven't flashed their bios.
My office stocks these in every room and no matter which one I sit in, the back support just is not there. After using for a few hours I get restless and after the first day I woke up with lower back pain every day until I replaced it with a Serta.

It’s really just comes down to thermal mass vs. power dissipation. Either you have to increase the thermal mass, or limit the power. 99.99..% of use cases are for the phone to be in your pocket inside, so designing in a larger thermal mass, or limiting performance isn’t going to be a factor that drives design.

However, since most phones are relative water resistant now, a good option is to use evaporative effects to cool them down. You could also dig a hole in the earth to find cooler temps and dissipate heat that way.
That's when YOU have to look at the facts and decide for yourself. For example, looking at the footage from the Capitol on January 6th and decide for yourself if those were just people on a "normal tour of the Capitol" like some Republicans are claiming, or if it was a criminal mob trying to thwart the election like almost everyone claimed at the time.

I have an Ikea chair, nearly a decade old, and based on GIS, I think it probably was a TORKEL, (or a RENBERGET, I can't tell the difference) which if it were in stock would probably be between $50 and $70.

I've had an Ikea desk for the same amount of time as my chair, that is probably more or less an ADILS, currently about $25 ($9 for the top, $4 for each leg).

While I have had some brief back issues, they went away, so I haven't been desperate to find a better chair, if there is such a thing.

Is it even fair to call it a 'flaw' or 'broken' if they advertise the limitations? Almost all electronics will have some operational temperature range depending on power consumed and cooling available. Is there even active cooling on the unit?

They could use UWB positioning systems. Accuracy is still not the best, but power consumption is very low and range more than adequate for a small base camp like the landing area. Solar power alone should be enough to power each beacon during Mars' daytime.

Almaty, which used to be the capitol of Kazakhstan = 'alma ata' which means something like 'mother of apples'...
It doesn’t matter how efficiently the city is run. At some point, it may become impossible to support current levels of population. For instance, if drought conditions continue to be more common, there will be less and less water available, which means less wastewater for use in thermoelectric plants. Also, this means less water to maintain urban vegetation, which will also demand more water as temperatures rise and vapor pressure deficit rises. Less urban vegetation means less evapotranspiration, less latent heat flux, and greater urban heat island effects, which will further increase air conditioning & power loads above and beyond what would be the case with warmer temperatures assuming current land use/vegetation cover. It’s very easy to envision ways that places like Phoenix collapse.
I've not asked the question "what I am missing out" for like almost a decade. It came from the realization that I constantly and always "miss out" on 99.99% of things that happened in the universe. Whatever more Twitter I read won't move the needle of the statistics.

Rarely it happens that my success depends on things I "miss out". On the other hand, usually that my success depends on how well I take advantage of the opportunities I currently have.

So respect the opportunity, and make sure you're ready when it comes.
Mostly just by using better components and beter internal cooling (=thicker design).

You can find same chips (=same function) made for consumer electronics, automative, aeronautic and military, all with different temperature and humidity ranges. I'm not sure about mobile phone CPUs/SoCs, but automotive equipment is a lot more resilient to voltage spikes well above the normal 12-14V.
The more you hype something, the more susceptible it is to criticism. It's not necessarily that people are Musk haters (although some are I'm sure), it's that it's been hyped to hell, by Musk and others, so problems will be hyped also.

Fine for me. (K)Ubuntu on a Thinkpad T14.
Sure, but I was replying to your general comment that it is simply unacceptable for something not to be engineered to withstand heat above 122.

I think it is a design decision, and the costs and benefits have to be weighed. If the extra cost per unit is more than the lost revenue from not being able to sell to consumers in hight temperature locations, it might make sense not to design it for high temperatures.

As long as these limitations are communicated to potential customers, I don’t see a problem with that.
agreed, but i take the GP's argument to be that the languages aren't sufficiently expressive to allow us to communicate generically about workloads in a way that allows a system to correctly determine whether they would be faster on a CPU or not.

Rider is a solid mix of C#, F#, Kotlin, and Java (and likely more). The R# engine is a very large .NET codebase, and the F# plugin to that is written largely in F#. So it's a little more complicated than whatever the shell is written in.

I'm a moderator of a fairly large, nontechnical subreddit-

Reddit allows you to see your subreddit's statstistics, and the last time I checked, around 1/3 of our traffic is from old reddit. So definitely not just a small minority.

5G, consumer finance and marketplaces, AI for many applications including traffic automation, high speed rail etc..

In some areas, they may not be so far ahead in key tech, but they are further ahead in operationalising it.

California can't build a single fast train, while China is laying down more rail than anyone in history in a very short period of time.

Soon they will start building commercial aircraft and wipe out Boeing and Airbus in everything but domestic markets.

The only two areas I think they will have difficult is with chips, and jet engines.

For most other things, the 'product' and 'operation' is just as much or more important than the 'key research'.

It doesn't matter if the US researchers 'published the paper' if China can take it to market to the 'rest of the world' 10x more quickly.

The safest way to find out is to just give it a try. You will see quite soon whether you enjoy the ‘game’ of a specific platform or not.

It’s unlikely that you will get good at something you don’t enjoy so I think the moment you can answer that question you should take the consequences.

Not enjoying it -> unlikely to get good at it -> unlikely to reap the benefits -> better skip it or work around it (you don’t NEED those platforms after all)

WTF does Supplyframe actually do?

Various bits from their website [1]:

> Only Supplyframe’s Design-To-Source Intelligence (DSI) solutions deliver actionable insights that drive better decisions across new product development initiatives, full product lifecycles, and strategic sourcing of direct materials.

> DSI Network: Unmatched electronics industry parts & design cycle data

> DSI Platform: Industrial-scale intelligence platform

> DSI Solutions: Transformational, AI-based solutions

Notably, they own findchips.com and componentsearchengine.com.

I cant talk with your customers but my initial thoughts are that you should focus with laser-like attention to your customer needs. There are a lot of "ands" in your product. Who is your ideal customer? Is it whales tracking multiple cryptocurrencies?

> Easier ways for a government to get money; namely, just print some.

What is money? If a government wants more domestic resources, it can get it by printing money. If a state is so limited in domestic resources that it fundamentally needs resources from outside, printing money doesn't help. Printing money can help a state devote more of its country's resources to trade, but if no one wants to trade with you at any cost, it doesn't matter what parts of the local economy the state controls.

North Korea has incentives compatible with these kinds of acts, and relatively few interesting ways of deploying software engineers locally.

> Invalidating 6 months of work.

What kind of system was this where a bug would literally invalidate all results from the moment it was introduced?
I doubt that everyone on the team missed the fact that electronics get hot outdoors in the summer. Rather, they probably chose to launch a product that breaks when it gets hot, because it's an easy problem to fix later. Now that something is out in the field, they can debug their network, satellites, RF hardware, installation instructions, management applications, and figure out what kind of customers want to buy this thing -- all in parallel while some tiny EE team redoes the BOM to use better-spec'd components. Everyone at the company now has a ton of work to do to produce the next version, taking into account real-world feedback as they do it. Would it be worth blocking all those projects another 3 months just so that some guy in Arizona gets more Internet uptime on the hottest day of the year? Probably not. It sucks to invest in an early product and have it break on you, but it's also probably not possible to have a company that releases a totally flawless product on day 1. If you demand perfection, what you are really demanding is for the product to never exist.

(It's also completely possible that the parts simply aren't available. You may have noticed that there's been a pandemic going on for the last year or so, and that's hurt the availability of many electronic components, among other things.)
I design RF/Microwave hardware. The issue is the long term reliability, specifically the semiconductor lifetime drops drastically with temperature, not to mention the passive components. The temp cycling may be more of an issue, as I have seen antenna arrays pull themselves apart during accelerated lifetime testing. I shutdown all of my stuff at 80C.
