I work in a safety-focused industry and everyone is asking me every fifteen minutes when we can replace procedure writers with AIs reading logs. My dream scenario is that I get a nice GUI for NLP checking that lets the writers oversee a lot of content at one time; my nightmare scenario is that AI generated content just gets pushed out in real time until everyone dies, because that's going to be the training model if they don't work up an extremely detailed simulation[1].

You only get maintenance logs on those systems that are having maintenance performed. Overfitment. Overfitment. Overfitment.

Nobody operating a survey of this type assumes they'll get 100% response rate. (Although it is very common to offer something like a gift certificate to N randomly chosen people who answer the survey.)
Since it's a "statistics class", I'd assume "best plan of action" would mean "which one of the options introduces less amount of bias" here. Like many I also struggled a bit with the question in isolation, but considering this IS a statistics class, it's probably trying to find how students would minimize bias here.

For this reason, assuming 30 people didn't answer due to some given bias*, assuming they were properly and randomly selected option B sending to another 120 students would probably hit the same bias again and we should expect around 30 students to also not answer due to this. So B and D both are hitting the same bias. Same for E, but with a smaller sample size. The only viable option is A, for which (assuming a normal bias) we should expect that some amount of the the students who did not answer initially would answer after some nudging, hence reducing the total amount of bias. We could be missing the strongest biased here and that might be relevant; but with this strategy at least we would maintain-to-reduce the amount of bias (vs maintaining it with all other options).

We could also offer some stronger incentive for those 30 to answer, either stick or carrot, but that's not an option.

*this could be anything and we are not measuring/finding it, but for some example of possible biases some students might have too many courses and biased against answering optional questionnaires, some might not be affected directly by the questionnaire so think not to answer, maybe the ones in univ. dorms tend to answer more than the ones commuting, etc.
Cell phones enable computing-related activity (ecommerce, email/IM), without requiring the overhead of knowing how to use a computer (or being able to afford one).

In the developed world, smartphones brought a generation of boomers online, people who went their entire careers without regular use of a computer terminal. In the developing world, the smartphone was the first computing device for many people.
Arizona is not running out of water. There's a lot of fearmongering surrounding water levels at Lake Mead or with the Colorado river, but Arizona doesn't get the majority of its water from those sources. It also uses 10x less water with a population of 7m as it did in 1950 with a population of 0.7m.

Arizona has a state-of-the-art water portfolio that uses lots of reclaimed water and is not reliant on micro or even macro-climate trends. A megadrought has impacted the area for the last few decades and only now are Arizona cities talking about the needs for conservation and possibly cuts in the next decade or so, but if climate models hold up the drought will be over in that time frame anyway.
I don't really agree, when you insist on being known mononymously you have to accept that you are inviting ridicule.

Good! There's finally a way to escape the awful, soul-sucking residential zoning prison that keeps people trapped in a suburban hellscape. The idea of settling into a 1+ hour daily commute for the rest of your life is genuinely depressing & terrifying.

I'm thrilled that there's a chance (at the moment) to escape that nightmare. I will never willingly commute in a car ever again.
People will definitely rip no-vocal versions out of there (if they are good quality, that is). I see some pretty neat implications:

- Young artists can (illegally) use beats by popular producers. Young producers can listen to various tracks and better understand some techniques that were shadowed by vocals before.

- More bootleg remixes of popular tracks. Things that weren't possible by just slicing and sampling the track would suddenly be possible, too.

- Better music stemming / demixing ML models. I believe right now the baseline is Spleeter by Deezer [1], which is pretty good but leaves so much room for improvement.

I don't understand this comment. Does an artificial heart need an onboard GPU to do the required real time signal processing? Does a arthroscopic robot localize the head of the device with < 10 um accuracy? I realize I'm coming off as a Neuralink fanboy, but I think it's ridiculous to compare next generation brain interface technology to the existing Medtronic/St Jude/Stryker space. The complexity is the reason why none of those companies would touch this with a 10 foot pole. Medtronic paid $200M to acquire a company that made a 32-channel DBS electrode and then killed the product because it was too hard to manufacture. Neuralink is trying to build a 10,000 channel device.
Drugged out gullible young girls in a perverse and depraved industry, creating "content" that can potentially isolate and mess with the minds of teenagers, consenting adults ?
I love how you're putting guns and knives into the same category here. They're actually a nice example for how a difference in quantity (deadliness) becomes a difference in quality. Which is why anyone can buy a knife pretty much anywhere in the world, while most of the "civilized" world puts heavy (heavy) constraints on who gets to carry fire arms. But I'm sure the countries that neither control who gets one nor require much training before they get it are doing juuuust fine. /s

Ah I see the article says "Europe" not EU, many convolute the two alas. More so this is only some countries in Europe, so might want to change the title.
And this probably should give everyone an idea of how powerful EU is an economic entity despite being more internally divided than US. Naturally, as moves go ( edit: for Apple ), it is very rational ( and as some already noted, it is not that dissimilar to what some car makers do -- provide tools, but at ridiculous cost and hoops to jump through ).

It is absolutely a step in the right direction.
You can do that with $10m or less. 4% safe withdrawal rate, $400k a year is a hell of a lifestyle in the vast majority of locations.
The answer has to be A, under reasonable assumptions. If you assume that the university wants to find out the opinions of all students, and if you assume that students who didn't respond still have opinions, then the problem is that the students who didn't respond may have different opinions from the students who did, skewing the results. Only choice A tries to solve this problem.

People here are drastically overthinking it. Yes, it's true that the problem didn't state those assumptions, but you are supposed to make them, not to say "the university didn't give us its criteria for 'best plan' so all the answers are equally good". Given the way that problems like this work, it's obviously meant to test knowledge of the specific idea that the people who respond may be nonrepresentative of all the opinions. Only response A shows knowledge of this idea.
I suspect the second is exactly right. Apple is extremely careful about how their products are perceived as elite and cool and it’s easy to imagine their marketing department thinking the word “karaoke” just evokes an uncool or unsophisticated vibe.

I've enrolled in online college to get my undergrad degree.

Some of my courses were related to certificates that many people list on their resume.

The questions are very bad. Very very bad.

One example:

Which of the following considerations are most important when choosing a software solution:

A. System Requirements
B. Something else
C. Distribution Method / Software Installation
D. Something else

My answer is Distribution Method (ie, how do you install it, or is it available as a web service). After working in tech for 20 years, distribution is still the hardest problem, and the one that can take the most time, when you consider the total time by all stakeholders.

They said that is not the answer because there are software installation managers.

---

I understand why that certificate has the answer they gave, and I understand why the test is in multiple choice format, I just deeply disagree with each of those decisions. After taking that test, I feel like anyone with that cert will need to be retrained after hiring. I feel like it is worse than useless for many of it's claimed benefits. (You do learn some about hardware and standards, which is nice)
Well this is part of what creates the conspiracy theory that some state actors were behind FTX. At the very least, the fact that SBF's mom was fixer for the Democrats, means he was likely Epstein level connected with political insiders.
That would make sense if there was a freeform "why did you give this answer" section. As a multiple-choice question, there's nothing you can infer about the answer.
Im guessing an IC position? Still, being that senior I'd expect he's in quite a few meetings. I would love to hear how he manages his schedule and comes up with novel excuses.

If he really is coding 90% of the time though, more power to him.

The term automat refers to a model of food distribution. [0] The movie [1] is about a specific firm, Horn & Hardart [2]. I don't think I'd agree with a thesis that suburbs were the direct cause of H&H's automat chain's decline. Logistically, there is a balance of preparation, freshness and transaction latency. The automat inverted freshness and transaction to prep latency from trad restaurants. The arrival of "fast food" used standardization to decrease prep and transaction latency from trad restaurant levels while maintaining freshness levels. In terms of payment tech, I'm not able to find a reference but my recollection is that automated bill accepting technology not common until the 1980s. If automats were unable to accept bills then they would be unable to offer higher value meals without human intervention (and lose their transaction latency advantage). [3]

The format was threatened by the arrival of fast food, served over the counter and with more payment flexibility than traditional automats. . . . Another contributing factor to their demise was the inflation of the 1970s, increasing food prices which made the use of coins increasingly inconvenient in a time before bill acceptors commonly appeared on vending equipment.

Your naive approach would work if 1) the possible projects match identically the resource profile without overlap and 2) there aren't any more possible projects than the set that match the resources ie there is no prioritisation decision to be made.

Unfortunately, that never, ever happens ever. So the organisation needs to have a mechanism for deciding how to prioritise work and to estimate what work can reasonably be done simultaneously given resourcing constraints. And it looks like you've described their approach to those two things.

The approach you describe sounds reasonable for a medium sized company assuming the quarterly process takes into account on going projects ie they're identifying and scheduling for resource gaps rather than fully re-scheduling every quarter.

A more common approach with that size or bigger is to use a budgeting approach. So notional dollar values are assigned to projects that are given priority and the project owner funds resource from other teams by giving them budget.
Not so cheap anymore! They go for $2M each today which seems insane to me.
0.25 is actually an exceptionally good recall rate; I found this article with data up to 2016: https://www.iseecars.com/vehicle-recalls-study

which says that Tesla is the 4th best auto manufacturer in terms of recall rate at .936, which is better than the industry average of 1.115; Ford is at 1.139, This was in 2016, when Tesla had only been shipping relatively small volumes of cars. If recent articles which put Tesla's recall rate at 0.25 are to be believed (I'm not sure that they should; they seem to carry the tone that this recall rate is exceptionally bad), that would certainly make Tesla the least-recalled car brand.
Karaoke usually implies no or suppressed vocal channel in the audio mix, doesn't it? It's "sing along" as it's still the original mix, I suppose.

edit: I missed the "adjustable vocals" in the list of features. No idea then. Footnote says "The vocal slider adjusts vocal volume, but does not fully remove vocals."
Well, yes, but if there's a one-to-one correspondence between good unions and bad unions,that pretty much implies that the expected value of a union vote is zero. It's just the same as not unionizing.

In my personal anecdotal experience, the unions at the places I've worked have been mired in factions. They supported some workers but not others because they picked sides. They weren't just neutral, they undermined some workers to benefit others. It really soured me on them.
Are you claiming that the ends can never justify the means? If not, then I don't see how their arguments would be inherently devoid of merit.

I’m currently in the phase of trying to figure out DF. Many hours of tinkering and reading has led me to digging tunnels and deep underground but I just get stuck trying to assign jobs and set up rooms and burrows. It’s very difficult. I WISH that they would make an interactive tutorial. That would significantly reduce the friction of onboarding new players. Apparently the steam version has one or is adding one. In my mind, this should have been a high ticket feature worked on and added years ago.
I agree, right to repair is a difficult thing. Technically I can repair my own car, but realistically I will take it to a shop because owning or renting all the tools required to even replace a tire from a rim is way too high.
Question, do you believe gun makers should be sued by victims of shootings?

I'm not saying no one has ever tried to manipulate the price of a cryptocurrency before. But the scheme you describe is not sustainable for a long period of time.
Do you happen to have any links about Andrea Stoppa and Ghost Data? A Google search seems to find nothing but that story as evidence for their existence which seems a bit weird.

Which is a quite informative term, as it precisely describes the very use case none of the users actually want.
I mean that’s the thing no one’s going to talk about but it should be priority 1.

We have leaders who see the people suffering, see inflation rising, the dollar shrinking. They see power being a problem worldwide. They see people struggling to stay afloat and classes shifting downward in quality of life.

And they keep amping it up. I get the sense this is the wrong site to say this, but I remember in early 2000s Al gore claiming that double digit percentages of Florida would be underwater now.

If I’m understanding, that’s the basic justification for all these energy sources we have available to simply not be used. But afaik Florida isn’t under the ocean any more than when the documentary came out, but people sure are feeling the effects of global manipulation.

I’m sure I’m going to get downvotes and some very witty responses
pfft, bring back the 2048 clones.

Gutting the downtowns of major cities perhaps. I personally think that remote work will be a bit of an equalizer that’ll allow more people to live in more affordable areas of the country. While it’s not glamorous, my hometown has 3,000 sqft lake homes for sale ranging from $350-700k. I have a few friends who have moved back home with their remote jobs and they are funneling that money into local bars and restaurants which desperately need it.
Questions like this, where you must have attended the class to know the answer, are often introduced to penalise no-shows. It can also expose suspected contract cheating in online exams.

However, it is quite risky, since it probably wouldn’t stand in court, e.g. when a failed student sues the school.
In a sense.. Currently western liberal democracies have a monopoly on the most advanced microprocessor manufacturing tech.. And they plan to keep it that way indefinitely.

This "sours the milk" so to speak and it makes it easier to take TSMC off the board.

For one, if there was ever any real consideration by China of forceful takeover it would be made clear TSMC would not be a spoil of war. This makes a scorched earth threat even more credible.

For two, it disincentizes playing games with Taiwan as a pawn based on the wests reliance on chips flowing out. Knowing the chips are flowing in large quantities from other countries removes the lynchpin status.

Third, it stabilizes supply in the chance that something does happen. Maybe a natural disaster. Maybe a blockade.

> @elizableu, cited in the article, has a history of false claims on this.

Mr Musk, also, does not have a stellar history of accurate reporting either.
As a serial entrepreneur and founder in the technology realm my past matches his claim exactly.

The first founded iteration was spent observing and learning what not to do and over time grew to around 100 employees at peak. The second founded iteration I re-architected and re-coded the entire platform in about four years automating out all possible employees before going live which peaked at 7 employees under my ownership. And as they say "Third time's a charm". ;)

From my own personal past experiences, and YMMV, people are the problem. Computers only make mistakes that the software allows which comes from the human writing the code of course until GPT3 starts coding:) Computers do not know of opinions, politics, emotions, illness, image, etc and if businesses were to track and quantify this as to the impact of said business then many eye opening considerations would occur. Just because "It has always been this way" does not make it correct or, from my direct experiences, efficient. Per Edison: "There is always a better way."

I am the exception however as I have been doing real hands-on work since about age seven and have always been the first person to jump into anything to get my hands dirty learning whether that involves ICE engines, electricity, plumbing, digging, and of course anything tech related. I love to learn and have a passion for solving the hard problems which is my downfall but I don't do it for the money since that cannot buy health nor happiness.
I have a feeling that PG doesn't understand automation. Automation is just a tool to increase work productivity (and, consequentially, profits and salaries). Automation doesn't change the nature of relationship between an employer and employees. The fact that a founder might need fewer employees due to automation only means that the moment when the founder will need to hire more people is shifted later in time (when the company grows) and the salaries of the employees will be higher because they will be required to work with automation tools and their work productivity will be higher.

Also, the more automation we have, the more people will work in the automation industry. In other words, people will still be hired, just from the side of automation supplier, not automation consumer. If a single founder can run a billion-dollar company, it means that the automation industry that enabled this remarkable achievement has grown big and gave work to many people.

As a resident in a minor EU country, the fact we are often excluded from lists of EU countries in many companies websites is a source of much frustration.

The title should be amended to say "parts of Europe", not "across EU".
