I'm honestly of the opposite opinion. I have used GitLab for 10 years now and have yet to find something as useful as GitLab's CI/CD, and I've tried (not always by choice) a ton of different options.

Mainly it's because I strongly prefer to orient most of my flow around Kubernetes deployments and namespaces tied to git metadata like commit sha or branch name, and thus far, I haven't found a better more interested way of doing so than GitLab.
I OTOH am genuinely excited and I think we should go all in, put more money, resources, throw everything we can. The upside is simply too good to ignore. I hope the next improvements completely eliminate any chance of another AI winter for the foreseeable future. I'm brushing my math skills again to dive in for fun and profit. Better late than never.
What a deceitful headline, the upper management knows about the flaws, they've been in spin control since 2012. There have been whistleblowers, and no corrective action was taken.

There was an Al-Jazeera report that was more substantial than any of the other mainstream US media on this, and it was damning and that was done a decade ago. No one has been held to account for the systematic failures that were largely introduced as a result of upper management and propagated due to failures in process with the FAA. I'd like to see a corruption probe, and mandatory cool-off periods for regulators seeking to jump from regulation to working in the industry.
back in the day we called them "playlists"
I couldn't say what Oracle's been doing, but writing this comment from OpenIndiana (Illumos) the feature is still here and works fine. It's integrated into MATE's Caja (forked GNOME/nautilus) and AFAICT it's the same exact feature and it still just works; you click the little clock button in the toolbar, click to the snapshot you want, and browse the filesystem. Actually looking more closely, it looks like it's a pretty thin veneer over the .zfs/snapshot virtual directory so it should be dead simple to build into any file browser that supports extensions (because all you need to do is provide a list of directories under $FS/.zfs/snapshot, and then when the user clicks one change path to $FS/.zfs/snapshot/$SNAPSHOT). I mean, there's a little more integration than that (some context menu items to snapshot and view old versions, an extra column in the detailed view) but that's the main part and I suspect the whole thing could be reimplemented in a day or two.

This is a trivial/tangental observation, but I really appreciate that I can grasp the whole project from a 10 second glance at the readme. I wish more projects did that.
New face recognition PyTorch library
One click to run and easy to use.
It is hard to respond to your question without knowing where in the development cycle you are. Have you got working prototype? Are you at the ready to manufacture stage? etc.

In my experience, the firmware development cycle is far slower than for native software. The interactions between electronics and the code can be very difficult to debug. Getting the power source to work reliably. Manufacturing the case in volume can hard to ramp up. Injection moulding, assembly, retail packaging, etc can cost more to develop than the product.

When you write that your unit economics are good, I wonder how far along the path of being ready to manufacture, package and distribute you have gotten. Any team experienced with manufacturing consumer electronics at scale would have prior experience with all the necessary steps. If you are looking at sub-contract design/manufacture, then you need to make a very substantial up-front investment and guarantee certain volumes, etc.

I second the library location. Honestly, it's cliché but there are generations growing up without using a library.

I hadn't been to one from 2003 - 2016. But when I walked in I was stunned by:

- obviously quiet/peace. I mean, it's a library! :-) But compared to the library even the footpath is busy with people talking on their phones/earpods now. A dedicated space for quiet was unexpectedly nice.

- lack of "guard" required. No ads/incentive programs/paying-subscriptions/keeping-up-with-Jones-competition. It took me a while to realise that my constant "what do you get from this!?" suspicions could take a back seat. I could relax a bit more, like hanging out with a good friend you can trust.

It is simply a place you can walk into and exist, knowing that you deserve to be here as much as anyone else.

Plus it might have that book you want to read.

Absolutely. And you'd see much less hypergrowth mindset, and a willingness to go slow, steady, and do it right.
I haven’t followed BeOS stuff since the early oughts, but I’m floored at how mature Haiku has gotten. A modern GCC? Xlib mature enough to run GTK? A native QT backend? I also noticed what appears to be a well along Emacs backend as well. Amazing progress for an independent OS project.
> In the pre-Internet era, when you were curious about tech X, you'd walk to a store, skim through a bunch of books, pick the one you liked the most, and take it home. The whole process of searching took less than an hour, and then you were committed, because back at home, it was the only material about X you had physically available

True, but those materials were often of questionable quality.

I remember trying to learn C programming long time ago from an old book I found in my father's bookcase, and I also remember being completely confused by it. I recently found it again and skimmed through it - the explanations were terrible, the code was bug ridden and horribly outdated - the <conio.h> imports were everywhere, even though the code never used any code from it.

> These days, you type X into Google, and you get hit with an avalanche of tutorials, ebooks, video series, paid courses, online lectures, all available constantly and immediately

I find this a much better alternative - I usually pick a few ebooks that look nice, then start reading the first to see how it goes. If I find it tedious after a short while, I try another, and repeat until learned.

Why would the base their HQ in a tax heavy state like California, specifically the Bay Area and build multibillion dollar office buildings? Access to UC Berkeley and Stanford has historically been the answer.

Heroku is my tried and true. I've likely done thousands of deploys over the years and have never had one go bad or leave my app in a bad state. I have rolled back an app a few times due to bad configs and it was always quick and left me with a huge sigh of relief.

That being said, they are very stagnant on features. A dyno has operated the same way, at the same size, at the same price for like 10 years now? The main features I would like to see are auto-scaling for all dynos and IPs that allow you to restrict database traffic. Render looks promising in that department and could likely get business from me if Heroku doesn't change in the next couple years.
It seems like providing sane, secure defaults would be more effective.

But that would probably destroy the onboarding experience, how many tech firms release big products that should have authentication but really don't because of "ease of use"?

I hate to be the one who has to say this, but this is a bad idea. If this is being done for practical reasons then don't waste your time with this. It might work for some clients but you'll get stuck in the same place that every other re-implementation of X11 over the last 30 years got stuck at, which is supporting any kind of weird quirky behavior in Xlib and its large collection of client libraries, and the rest of the quirky behavior in the X server. Eventually you'll end up copying large sections of code out until it slowly transforms back into Xlib and Xorg and effectively it becomes another approximation of an X server. If that's fine with you then by all means keep going, but please don't continue along with the idea that you can avoid this. It has been tried many, many times before.
Where you have unions, people are not as afraid of management pressure.

When the management pressure is for better quality, the union may interfere. Where management pressure is for lower quality, the union should interfere.

We see the harmful effect of unions where the police are in one.
The graphical Emacs backend, unlike the rest of the things you mention, was not developed by one of the "regular Haiku developers" but by one of the Emacs developers, and fully upstream, too, which makes it doubly exciting. Indeed it's now available in Haiku's package repositories (or of course you can build Emacs from source yourself.) :)
Can you share which CS Masters you mean?
Maybe. But the pattern seems to be much more common in UTF-16 systems than in UTF-8 systems.

> "Entropy is not Disorder
One of the most popular belief about entropy is that it represents disorder."

This is what confused me the most about entropy in high school, the "order / disorder" lingo. Isn't "order" a metaphysical concept, something a conscious entity thinks about a system? How would nature know the difference? It took me some years to understand that that lingo is indeed misleading. (Still definitely not an expert of course.)
I'd love to believe in the possible, in improvement, but as usual it reads like a bunch of way out of touch musicians huffing their own flatulence with indistinct, unimportant nonsense.

The novelty here is that this is an analog recording, so trying to judge how good it is requires astronomically more effort. We can't just build incredibly high precision analog-to-digital systems & encodings, compare them to similar lossless flac, & confirm the fidelity: we need to go physically model this medium & it's capabilities to assess it's real potential. Making something which is hard to judge, to make your claims unassailable: power move.

SpaceX management is currently oriented to both high quality and high production rate. When their commitment to quality slips, such as traded off for production rate, quality will slip. When quality in a rocket engine slips, they explode.

When that starts, we may expect they will start by exploding mainly on test stands, instead of vehicles.
Do you still have a Tesla too or got rid of it? Why? If you don't mind me asking, of course.
I'm Chinese, and I prefer UTF8 to UTF16.

> You might think "but BOMs are super evil." Checking a BOM is extremely, extremely easy. Furthermore, you don't get to bail out of checking anything just by using UTF-8, you have to check to ensure you have _valid_ UTF-8. That's right, you gotta scan the whole bytestream anyway, so you may as well just check the 2-byte BOM at the beginning too.

BOM breaks substring. Everything you take a substring, you need to prepend a BOM if you want to serialize it to somewhere else. If you want to concat two strings with BOM, you need to remove one of them. All of these are unnecessary pains.

> You might also think "OK OK, you could be right, but what about HTML, which is mostly ASCII and would nearly double in size if it went from UTF-8 to UTF-16." Practically all HTML is gzipped, so the difference is pretty small, plus the majority of text isn't HTML (almost anything stored in a database, almost anything in a file on your computer, etc.)

This just contradicts your own reasoning that UTF-16 is better for East Asians due to size savings.
Are any new smart phones from a major manufacturer like this?
I wonder what would motivate an artificial super intelligence since presumably it would lack any biological drives. (I also wonder if emotions are inherently wrapped up in intelligence or if it's possible to have intelligence without emotion.) I have this sneaking suspicion that basically an AGI lacking biological or emotional needs would just say effectively, "what's the point?", and shut itself down.
> Really? How do you figure? I genuinely cannot tell how you are reconciling these two points of view. While should a private business be able to do business however it wants, but somehow be restricted when it comes to this list of 3-4 factors? Can you elaborate on that?

I don't get how you're confused by this notion. A business should be able to operate however it likes, within the confines of the laws of society. What don't you get about that?

> More specifically, how do you reconcile this opinion with the fact that many algorithmic models do perpetuate existing discriminations against these groups that you listed, despite these things supposedly not being parameters of the algorithms?

I'm sure there are many examples of laws not being obeyed, ethics being dodged, or morality being misaligned, but that doesn't take away the simple fact that a business should be able to do business however it likes provided it's obeying the law. If a business is not obeying the law, then it's prevented from doing business. If it's not prevented despite the obvious legal breaches, then it's corrupt or the government is corrupt.

Is there something about this you're missing?
It's not the message, it's the action.
> If this is being done for practical reasons then don't waste your time with this.

Too late, I did, and it's already being used "in production" to power GTK on Haiku!

> It might work for some clients

Well, GTK was the one client I really cared about, and it works for that, so...

It should work for Tk, too, but there's one really annoying bug somewhere in Xlibe which is causing Tk problems; and I didn't figure out what it was in the Tk codebase (this is doubly strange because Tk itself has Xlib compatibility layers to run on other OSes, you would think they would have excised any such quirky behavior.) The "AndroWish" developer said he'd try to take a look and figure out what was going on, at some point.

> you'll get stuck in the same place that every other re-implementation of X11 got stuck at

So far as I've been able to tell, this is now the single most advanced Xlib compatibility layer ever written (well, that's publicly available and locateable, anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if there's more advanced ones behind closed doors.)

At least, I don't see any others powerful enough to run GTK, do you? So I think I've not gotten stuck at that same place then!
I would be interested in detection and correlation abilities here. I think simply collecting the data and graphing it doesn't help.

However, if enough metrics were automatically collected (when did I fall asleep and heart rate lower?) and there was some system that could sort through them (eating a 4th meal increases odds of ruby team scoring additional points by a factor of 1.3x) then you could possibly learn some neat things.

Some of the most interesting things have been pointed out to me by others. Things that are related but I didn't notice. Foods that seem to increase my chances of sickness and things like that.
Entropy: "to describe energy loss in irreversible processes". We have no clue about what is or is not reversible. Complex systems exhibit self-organizing behavior for no reason (that we understand), and we continue to identify more conditions under which this occurs. How does a Nobel Prize get handed out for identifying/quantifying "self-organization" http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/COMPNATS.html without bringing everything we think we know about entropy under scrutiny? Self-organization does not consume energy any more than entropic decay emits it. Irreversibility is a poor assumption.

It'll have its share of pros and cons, it'll work for some, might not work for many. This will work out for most if its part-time and they go to in-person as well, to get both social and explorative schooling.

Your comments really come off as bitter. I think this maybe just says more about the companies you've worked for than anything else. SRE is a methodology and a pretty-well understood methodology at this point.[1] The actual title is less important than the practice. It also goes by different names at different companies, example at FB it's called Production Engineer.

By the way Brendan Gregg is a Performance Engineer not an SRE. I believe that's been his title for close to 20 years, according to the the bio in his books. I don't believe he has ever had the title SRE.

But I never said that, though. I said they can operate however they like within the bounds of society's laws. You've turned something I've said into something I did not say, and I expect an apology on your part for placing me in a negative light.

I believe in socially responsible, healthy business practices that add positive value to the economy they operate inside of, not detract from it. Laws should be obeyed.

Yes! Just last weekend I threw together a quick project to create a Discord bot that adds all spotify links to a playlist. It was smooth as butter until I got to the Spotify Auth flow. Decided it wasn't worth the time at that point.
>The irony here is hilarious.

I fail to see why. If you get your way, and all the "free speech" people get blocked because everyone else finds them insufferable, then that's exactly what you asked for. It's also incredibly bad taste and rude to suggest that blocking happens because things "hurt your feelings", please never utter that phrase in this context again. That's an extremely trollish way to approach conversation and you need to stop. Disagreement happens for other reasons besides "hurt feelings".

I think you do actually understand though that "just block it" is a bad strategy because this is fundamentally not how humans interact in a large group. Every person can't go through the trouble of vetting every single thing that's being said all the time. At some point you have to trust someone to tell you if someone else is being a jerk or not a jerk. And that's why it's weak to somehow try to turn this into an issue of "social media censorship". If blocking isn't censorship then this isn't censorship either.
this reminds me of Java. wrapper classes versus primitive types and their usage in collections. it was pretty much the same issue. having a Item struct wrapping an int versus using the int itself.
