That’s how far current technology goes but one day someone will find the missing ingredient and get good reasoning out of it. Right now it is an impressive language model.
Not really. I suppose I should write it down, but it was a loooong time ago.

It was always a treat to hang around with Burt. The other engineer there who mentored me was Erwin Schweitzer, who'd take me flying with him (he was a pilot) and let me fly it once in a while. Burt and Erv were why I stayed at Boeing as long as I did.

Another engineer who took me flying was Ernie Spriggs. He hailed from Lockheed, and always went on about how great Lockheed was. I finally asked him "Ernie, if Lockheed was so great, why are you working at Boeing?" Ernie replied "because one day I told Mr. Lockheed he was a fucking asshole."

Good times.

P.S. What you suspect is true. A lot of Boeing engineers were also pilots. They loved airplanes and flying and engineering.

Regular single-use alkaline AA batteries are more energy dense than comparable rechargeable lithium based ones (up to 3000mAh for a single AA vs 3200mAh for iPhone 14 Pro). They're also safer and have lower self-discharge.
>After a while, businesses will simply stop accepting cash.

So when you loose you smartphone/cards you cant buy another one, open your car, pay for a taxi or even sleep in a hotel because there is no chance to go home?

Switzerland had 3 complete blackouts (1-2 month ago) for paying digital. So the sellers had to make list (and hope you come back later to pay it.). If your country just accept digital, you trust fully on digital infrastructure...i think we all know what a good idea that is.
> our world is definitely still deeply GENDERED. There are people who believe it shouldn't be, and are working to buck those trends (and those people, generally, receive equally as much backlash as those transgender).

Some things are pointlessly gendered, like pink/blue, or puffy sleeves, but others absolutely have a purpose, like single-sex spaces.

> Transgender people - by and large - like most people - aren't looking to tear down the binary gender norms in our society - they're just seeking to exist in society as the other gender.

The problem is that trying to tear down GENDER norms by living as the other SEX. You're interfering with other people's spaces to culture-jam the patriarchy and they need those spaces for safety, but you're also conflating the stereotypes of a sex with the sex itself.

> we have people who are suffering today, and who we have statistical evidence that there is a solution for what ails them.

Most or all of that evidence is as flawed as the detransitioners study. Everyone is afraid to do any actual research in this area. That said there's ample evidence in every other area of mental health that says you should not affirm falsehood.

> Why deny them this?

They're denied nothing up until their gender presentation interferes with someone else's sex-based rights. Dress how you will, live how you will.

Those are overlapping themes...and you can add safety in to mix.
I hope not. Neuromancer is one of those properties that's so influential on the cyberpunk genre and which is such a product of its time (what with the mainframes and cassette tapes and "cyberspace" completely devoid of the internet and internet culture) that the more faithful an adaptation is, the more derivative and dated it would appear... and ironically more banal, since the real world has become more cyberpunk than cyberpunk in many ways. Gibson himself feared it was obsolete when he saw Blade Runner before he had even finished the manuscript for Neuromancer. Few of its themes really resonate with our modern technological surveillance dystopia, simply because it predates them all, and those which do I fear have been outdone since. I mean, its iconic opening line no longer even makes sense in a world that's moved on from cathode ray tubes and static. It's a future that still has pay phones.

Metropolis is entering the public domain on January 1. I find the potential of that far more interesting than an adaptation of Neuromancer. Or better, instead of Neuromancer, adapt one of Gibson's more modern properties.

Parts of Australia have this. They have so much rooftop solar (and reliable access to plenty of sun) and battery there that effectively centralized power is less and less relevant there and quite a few parts of especially southern Australia effectively run on solar and battery for most of the time. It has indeed made the grid there more reliable; not less. Decentralization is mainly bad for centralized power companies as it erodes their monopoly and forces them to deal with the notion that their power is too expensive most of the time.

Intermittent scarcity and over supply of energy (both are a thing) also leads to different consumption patterns. People valuing cheap energy when it is scarce invest in batteries that they charge when there's a surplus. Others buy at a premium or simply shift when they consume their energy. Demand shaping is also something that can be incentivized financially.

Of course that works great in Australia but other parts of the world have other options like wind, geothermal, hydro, nuclear, etc. Which is why places like Norway and parts of Canada are also mostly running on clean energy at this point.

The key is actually not isolating but interconnecting. Norway is part of a connected grid that spans most of Europe with a market where you can sell energy and buy energy. Norway is an energy exporter at this point and there are plenty of countries importing their power to supplement their own generation when it falls short. That's why countries like Germany are now predominantly wind and solar powered and yet doesn't have blackouts when there's no wind. Like today (gloomy winter day with barely any wind here in Berlin). But there's still plenty of wind elsewhere. Germany imports almost as much power as that it exports each year.

Even the best event / data streaming architecture (or, more generally, a backend architecture) in the universe can be negated by a lousy frontend app / frontend layer architecture. I have never ordered anything from a Macca's… but I surmise that is the consequences that McDonald app users are facing.

The article lacks any details material to the event streaming architecture instantiation, and defers the details to a follow-up blog post, so it is hard to draw meaningful conclusions from it.

Offline models, especially speech recognition, is a game changer for many apps.

A fully CPU based implementation, simple enough with minimal dependencies is also something that helps tremendously reduce the initial friction and enable potential low-cost applications.

I don't get this comment. This tech is so useful, I've incorporated into my systems engineering workflow and it saves so much time. Yes, it's a confident bullshitter, so right now it's maybe best to use it in a domain you're a specialist in, as to spot the bullshit, but it can do so much more than what came before. After years of blockchain, no-one came up with a convincing use case besides coins, and a lot of people tried. With this thing, I have a bunch of use cases already for my own domain alone. For me this tech is a productivity enhancer, and let's me focus on more higher level stuff.
Well, exactly - the disruption is closely analogous to what happened with a lot of crafting trades during the first Industrial Revolution.
Early weaving mills (etc) were okay at weaving, but certainly not better than the very best weavers - but they didn't need to be, as they just needed to do well enough to displace enough workers to "pay for themselves". (And, as a reaction, the Luddites formed to protest about the destruction of their industry wholesale.) And, even now, you can still buy - very expensive! - hand-woven items, but there's not really an industry in it any more, and a lot of crafting skills have become mostly hobbies.
The current disruption in creative trades from the various AI generative models is the same for artistic etc creativity - and will probably have the same societal tradeoffs. [IMO, the copyright argument is actually distracting here from the actual problem people should be arguing about - the conversion of more types of human production into capital.]

i will try to explain my stand.
2005-12. a small "user" from india HAD 0 means to purchase online content. local content in the stores was the same expensive "imported" stuff and TV was the only main means of consuming content.
then with internet, i could suddenly go to piratebay and watch any movie or read any book or download any game. talking about "buying using paypal and stuff", INDIANS STILL CANNOT EASILY BUY FROM INTERNATIONAL SELLERS, you need a "credit card, then you need to call your bank to allow international transaction and then it fails most of the time". this problem exists in 2022, forget about 10 years ago.

to put that into perspective, https://nextbigwhat.com/indias-credit-card-industry-key-stat...

says "A thread While at 925mn debit cards are highly penetrated, credit cards is still a nascent industry ~ 50mn card base (3.5% per capita, unique cards ~60% of this"
so only 2.1 mil card holders in india who can potentially buy from foreign markets online.

that said, if i consume content here in india, "HOW AM I CAUSING SALES LOSS TO POOR RIAA and americaan authors and all the content creators?". this is same for 15 years ago and today. a lot of stuff doesnt exist in india in the official market so yeah.

this goes for MOST OF THE WORLD, pricing has helped because for a long time, amazon prime is being sold in india for inr 1500/year or US $17. while in the US the same costs $14.99/month (plus tax). same for netflix and stuff. they made india specific pricing and people are adopting them but it is basically impossible for me at least to pay $14.99/month (plus tax) if amazon prime did not exist in india and i had to pay for american prime.

this is the same problem with scientific journals for example. $35 is normally put as a price but that amount is A LOT in indian rupees and the same for rest of the world who are not on american living standard and cannot pay american prices.

i get it, the moral argument of "you dont pay, you dont get access to our content for which i own the copyright for" but also "doesnt matter if you own the rights or not, i was never going to pay or even if i was, i couldnt pay legally so it doesnt matter because i havent cost you anything financially".

there is a case against DRM, if you pay, you get more restrictions than if you dont so whats the point?

I think the "brutal pragmatism" and corpo SWEs have always been an opposing force to the hacking spirit. Catch phrases include, but not limited to:

- right tool for the job

- use a library

- time to market

- customers don't care about X

- premature optimization

I hack because it's the expression of the exact freedom that made me interested in computers in the first place. Discouraging developing engineers from exploration & research and forming them into a product-oriented mold is something I really, really don't like.

Yes, rereading the thread, I think I'm going too far.

My main and original point is the following: tests that only test memorization are good on their own ("Tests to help you retain information.").

You need both memorization and understanding to learn. Yes, some tests can improve both; but focusing on only one aspect - here memorization - is fine too.
The Central European wasp is a yellowjacket, Vespula germanica. It is very attracted to sweets and foods especially in the autumn. However, it does not usually sting unless there's a reason, such as you're trying to sit on it.

I myself have had zero stings of any bee or wasp in my life so I prefer to gently coax them away from my plate. Some people are absolutely terrified about them though so "just let them be" rarely seems to be good advice.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vespula_germanica

Edit: actually I don't know which one is more common, Vespula germanica or Vespula vulgaris. I wouldn't be able to differentiate between them.

It is a requirement imposed upon me that I write documents in notion, and that text editor doesn't let me import locally written files since it doesn't have any lossless textual representation. I can't avoid the laggy text editor. It's a requirement that I use slack, and no combination of settings for the browser or desktop client seems to stop massive input lag.

My hypothesis: Mustang drivers are the ones who rear-end others. Pinto drivers brake for squirrels QED
Working at a bank and working as a design engineer or low-level programmer have extremely different requirements for a work computer.

My experience, after working in many big and small companies in several countries and multiple continents matches perfectly what the above poster has said, i.e. at least for any kind of design or testing work that involves external hardware, the only way to get anything important done is to circumvent any restrictive IT policies, which are always made by people who might have worked in a bank, so they have no idea about how a computer is used for designing or testing hardware or software for embedded computers.

Most of the work that I have ever done could not be done on company-managed computers, so I usually had to do it on my own computer and transfer then the results to the company computer, which was used only for communication inside the company, through e-mail/Teams/internal file servers etc., and for writing reports or other documents.

My company has a policy that all software needs to be explicitly approved. That includes any software library, extension, or package from a package manager. Is it followed? Not in the slightest! Something I recently ran into: the Rust version manager 'rustup' is approved but neither the compiler nor the package manager have been approved. That's despite our core product having used Rust libraries through the C ABI for years. Madness!
