> As opposed to having to figure it out later from the outputs of a black box?

Not all problems can be formulated as a set of explicit equalities, constraints and variables (e.g. machine vision). If explicit modeling is an option, of course you should do it. I am seeing efforts to try reinforcement learning on systems that we know how to describe with equations, and of course the results are laughable compared to the traditional methods.

> I can't imagine CV could be an actual replacement for actual SPC in many industries. There's a reason we need to take samples and stress test, analyze composition, etc.

In one big manufacturing company they were using Machine vision and a cheap web camera to control flaring. Could they do it with fancy sensors instead? Of course, but it would be more expensive, and they never did in the past.

Another manufacturing company is using machine vision to raise an alarm if the door of a cargo car of a train is not closed after loading. Could they install sensors in all of the doors of the train instead? Sure, but it would be cost prohibitive.

>NPL could be big everywhere... if it provides actual value, which is not a given. ML has a lot of tangential applications (you could also say, better forecasting), but how will directly improve manufacturing processes?

In manufacturing we have multiple people opening pdfs from emails to copy contract numbers to excel spreadsheets. Others are getting orders in emails and then type them in SAP manually. I think that these tasks can be automated specially with the recent versions of NLP networks.

>I apologize for being abrasive, but I'm so tired of cs people descending upon all industries, plugging shit data into pytorch and doing shitty ML like it will automatically add value. Even more so in industrial engineering, which in my experience is full of people way better at math than computer scientists and requires a deep understanding of the product and the manufacturing process.

All is good :) There has been a lot of unsubstantiated hype in ML, made even worse by big consulting companies and cloud providers who just sell the hype.

I've been looking at code linking and RISC-V recently and see that you cover very similar topics on your blog.
Network limits and timeouts aren't different between kubernetes hosts and non-Kubernetes hosts. Network resources are a real resource, and you may need to implement quality of service or custom resources (a new feature [1], and one that is late to the party).

File handle limits are something no sane workload ever encounters. They are technically a shared resource, but in a sensible kubernetes configuration, it is impossible to hit because the ulimits on each process are low enough. A very small number of teams may need an exception, with good reason, and will typically be cordoned on to their own node classes that are specially tainted.

Yes, fleet Management via taints offers nothing over the fleet Management that you've already got. This is a good thing. Fleet Management tools are a damage to your reliability. They mean that your machines are non-fungible. Kubernetes great innovation is making machines, units of compute, fungible.

There are workloads and architectures that will never be suitable for kubernetes. There are HPC Clusters that heavily rely on things like rack-locality that Kubernetes views as damage. Getting rid of them is a net win for humanity.

An accelerometer might be the only easy way, but often it's used to detect movement. It would work best if your phone is tilted forward, not flat or vertical. Even then, it's unlikely to be exactly aligned to your car - if you're entering the car, then it could well be perpendicular to the car.

A compass will tell north, but it doesn't tell which way your head is pointed.
Who defines the word hate?
Man, why is inertia considered a bad thing? "new code is bolted on, with a prayer that nothing breaks" is literally all of software development. How many times do things break because some fool decided we need to use js framework 2022.04.07 when 2022.03.05 worked fine but new, shiny etc thus break. "Old" does not mean broken automatically, people seriously need to excise this assumption in software development because it simply isn't true.
It's got really cool metaprogramming features too, if you like those. Kind of like C++ consteval/constexpr but on steroids. Language BDFL doesn't recommend using it in prod yet, but I've really enjoyed a couple of hobby projects.

> when pretty much everyone was in the 'just a flu/cold' mode

By "everyone" do you mean people around where you live? The CDC was always concerned about mortality rates and never suggested it was just a flu/cold.

In Feb 2020 I recall hearing the president say the flu/cold thing, however the CDC was always trying to say it is serious. They were just not clear on where it had spread yet, and due to a testing screw-up, it was undertracked at the beginning. Also, at that time the CDC was saying healthy people didn't need to wear masks -- because it wasn't yet a pandemic and there still wasn't research indicating that masks protect the wearer.

Ractiopamine was new to me recently, but my dad grew up on a farm and always refused to buy milk from cows treated with rBST- the effects on the animals was cruel. rBST free milk around this part of the country seems to be the standard; the only place I remember even seeing milk thatb didn't advertise it was Walmart.

My dad's family didn't raise cows for meat, which might explain the (in)difference to ractiopamine, but fortunately it seems like major producers in the US are trying to get away from it so they can continue to access foreign markets (Tyson pork at least). I imagine it'll take time, but fingers crossed it'll get phased out entirely.

Wasn't the banned disinformation about how COVID is just the flu or started in a government lab?

Much of the power of Lisp lies in its homoiconicity, but it also means the syntax is "just a bunch of parens" - a ball of mud is hard to parse. Structured editing negates this by changing the view layer from text to something richer and more specified to the form, but still in the same basic shape as the code, which is harder to do with C-like languages. Most of what's needed is a fully integrated development environment such that the language and editor are created in unison, like many Lisp efforts of old.

Do the posts in German really need an indication that they are written in the German language?

Just from the title I can immediately see that "Die Metapher der Stadt für das Bauen und Betreiben von Softwareprodukten" is definitely not going to be in English.

I assume readers fluent in German don't need to be told that post is in German, the same way I don't need a little UK or US flag to know "March 2018 Book Recommendations" is in English.

If you can read the title and introduction you will immediately know which language its written in with no need for flags at all.

Honestly, it really shouldn't, at least IMO. Where may be once it was used for other things, today it's essentially a DSL of some sort for the numerical computations you specify. It doesn't need to be used for a game engine (game engines can go ahead and call fortran code as they might).
This is at the heart of the ML training problem.

In general you want to add more variants of data but not so much that the network doesn't get trained by them. Typical practice is to find images whose inclusion causes high variation in final accuracy (under k-fold validation, aka removing/adding the image causes a big difference) and prefer more of those.

Now, why not simply add everything? Well in general it takes too long to train.

> Most people don’t want what you want

This is absolutely true; however there are riches in niches.

The % of internet users who want X probably is lower, but I’d gander the absolute number of people who would want something like this is much bigger than it was a decade ago.

This community forgets that because we’re told by investors, the media we read, etc. to go after the biggest markets possible. “Hunt for elephants, not field mice,” they say.

Don’t forget that a niche market on the web can still be massive and small fortunes can be made building products and services for them. You might not even need to have investors on your cap table to bring products to market to sell to those niches if you know what you’re doing, but shhhh… don’t tell them I told you that.
No because there are lots of photos of possum and space that it has seen
Thanks! That is my old passport from a decade ago when I traveled the world.
That does not matter. If you bought at the peak in 2017 you would have had to wait 3 years later to come to equal and you would have been down 75% at the low in 2020. I would not consider this a store of value whatsoever. You are literally speaking to the volatility of btc by referencing the massive changes in value over short periods of time. Lets be honest, the majority of btc investors buy because they hope/believe more people will follow after them in a chase for massive gains. Not because the see intrinsic value in the product.
I suspect some of these are meant to get a rise, but I'll bite.

Prior to 2020 this was the vast majority of all jobs, including tech. Most got by just fine. And today still encompasses the majority of jobs, so I would argue this is classist.

I'm the author of that article.

I wrote this article at the beginning of 2021, a few months before I called it a day and stopped wasting time on that project.

I submitted it to HN at the time and there were tons of useful feedback: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25627081

If you're curious, I also posted two follow-ups:
- https://dsebastien.net/blog/2021-02-28-21-months-in-and-80k-...
- https://newsletter.dsebastien.net/issues/developassion-s-new...

In summary, I would say that I was way too trusting. I found a startup coach who lured me into the project, and I was super naive. I had doubts along the way but continued playing the game hoping for a happy ending. There was none. I was embarked with a super confident but ultimately hollow CEO, and I was way too focused on the technology.

I really did a good job with architecture, code quality, etc., but failed to avoid bike shedding for the longest time. Furthermore, I had no experience with startups, hoped that my co-founders really had a portfolio we could sell to and thus could focus on delivering high quality, even if it took longer. In reality, there was nothing but daydreaming and envy.

My co-founder dreamt about the Silicon Valley and VC money, but wasn't ready to actually deliver and sell a product.

My co-founders also refused to go and discuss with those potential customers for the longest time, and by the time they did, I had run out of money, was super stressed and couldn't go on much longer. Worse yet, those prospects of course had important requests, and we didn't have the energy left to implement those.

And when that realization came, my co-founder just quit silently. From one day to the next, there was not a word, not a gesture. He went offline, and I never heard from him since. I was a tool.

I made a conscious choice to invest that time and money, but could certainly have made a lot more money elsewhere, hence the title. But I managed to protect my family from harm. I went back half-time as an employee and continued to pay rent and put food on the table. So no harm done in that sense.

And it wasn't useless. I learned a ton about myself, about how to actually go about and build something. I learned to recognize bike shedding and to be less naive.

The most frustrating part for me is the fact that all this production-ready code is just rotting in place. And there's not much I can do about it...
No worries, I’m happy to retest once it’s done.

I can't stand "normal" milk from the US... the stuff you buy in the plastic cartons. It taste horrid.

Milk from Germany? I love it. Milk from Darigold in the paper cartons? I love it. Milk from Darigold in the plastic? Tastes like garbage. Organic milk in a paper carton? Some is good, some taste like garbage.

I didn't realize how different milk tastes until I spent some time in Germany. Prior to that I just thought I didn't like milk. Once I realized I like German milk, upon returning to the US I started trying different brands to see if I could find one that I liked. I finally found Darigold's paper carton milk.

For what it's worth, I have no affiliation with Darigold aside from being a customer. I'm sure there are other good brands too.
WHO had made an unfounded guess and stated it as fact, and called a position with as much basis as they did (arguably even more, but still inconclusive) as misinformation because it disagreed with it.

The appropriate approach would be to state "given current arguments, we are not sure whether it is airborne or not" instead of doubling down on their assumption/guess.
