It has less to do with where it started and more with the language and what field the business is operating in.

I was working for a UK steel supplier and they would address all their email recipients with their first name. We had to change this when internationalizing into German. If you want to sell to Germans you are much safer to use a more formal tone.

Slightly related to that is the formal and informal you that exists in a lot of languages.

I was also working for a German fashion startup mostly targeted at young women. In German it was fine to address everyone by first name and the informal you, but when translated the page to French, we could keep the first name but had to change the informal you to the formal one.

Probably working, and making fat $$$$ in the process. And if he's not working, probably chillin like a villain.

Instead, where are the people working 2 x fast-foot jobs to pay their bills. 16 hour oil rig gigs or long days fishing translates to lots of days off, but slangin burgers at Maccas without means you'll never advance.

> we were the colony to finally collapse the system after many centuries of it being standard across the world.

That is blatantly false. That was my point. You are right the Europeans weren't angels, but you were absolutely wrong there, America was the colony that was dragged kicking and screaming to abolish slavery long after everyone else had already done so, it absolutely wasn't the colony that finally collapsed the system of slavery it was pushed by everyone else to end it and then still had to go through a civil war doing it.

Still no sign of an actual Technical Reference Manual or any other detailed documentation on the SoC (registers, peripherals, etc). A big pile of Linux patches, while better than nothing, is a poor substitute for actual documentation.

SiFive does provide docs for the core complex (processors, cache, irq controller, etc), but that doesn't cover any SoC-specific peripherals.
Agreed. I've seen a lot of people coming from 3D printing become interested in CNC and assume the complexity, risk and investment are similar. They hit a wall pretty quickly when they realize all these things are much higher when machining metal. There are a lot of hobby mill companies willing to perpetuate this assumption by selling cheap benchtop mills. But to do produce anything with "industrial" precision, strength and surface finish at a decent rate, the physical size of the equipment alone is more than what most garage shops are willing to accommodate.

Absolutely agree. The challenge is that increasing rates did nothing for e.g. home affordability. In fact, by increasing rates they caused builders to abandon some projects because they couldn't get funding.

To do that, it would require congress to actually legislate or the exec branch to issue some executive orders that addressed market conditions like price gouging other than the big interest rates switch.

“mounting operational risks” is my main complaint with the “there is no maintenance” thread that was here the other day.

Maintenance is looking at all of the probability < 10^-4 issues that are just waiting for you to roll the dice enough times to eventually lose to the birthday problem. Every day you’re lowering the odds that tomorrow will be the day everything burns, because doing nothing is just a waiting game.
The endgame of spending a ton of time analyzing cinema (as someone who hangs out with a lot of film buffs) is that at some point the expectation of having to analyze a good movie burns thin, and you end up spending a prolonged period of time only watching bad movies that you know will be bad, because making fun of bad movies is A) a skill you've incidentally honed by paying a lot of attention to movies and B) a hell of lot less effort than paying an appropriate amount of attention to a good movie.

Most of my friends got over that eventually.

Some like "cross only at cross walks" or "no pedestrian crossing" are not a sign at all in EU. They are either implied by general traffic rules, or implied by traffic rules for given road category, or enforced with infrastructure.

"One lane bridge" EU has specific signs for lane cross section (not for bridges specifically).
"Pavement ends" I even consider funny. What comes next after that? "A meadow starts?"
> So which report makes an organization less racist:

> Org A) 10% of applicants are brown, 9% of hires are brown

That means nearly all brown applicants for got hired. You're probably thinking this is a "good stat" and therefore a "good employer". But what if the rest of that company's stats were "90% of applicants are white, 80% of hires are white." Is that still a "good stat/good company"? According to you, it should be (and I would tend to agree.) In both cases, we're pretty much showing "If you apply for a job here, you have a ~90% chance of getting in, regardless of skin color." Not bad!!

But wait. What if the demographic of applicants is more like 50% white and 50% brown. (Assume a non-remote workplace). Now, one has to wonder why, in a demographic where half the population is brown, why only 10% are applying to this organization? Could be many reasons. Culturally, maybe the brown folds simply choose not to apply here. Or maybe the organization has a history of mistreating brown folks, abusing them, paying them less, etc. That could explain the low rate of applicants here. Your good example of a "less racist" org doesn't look so good anymore. Many factors could be a play; some less intentionally-evil than others. Hard to draw conclusions simply by reporting on one stat in isolation.

> Hard to fix what you don't measure.

Yes, but harder to think critically about the data you do gather.
Great explanation. Probably where I am from there are more statutory or other costs involved in non-voluntary redundancy so it makes more sense to incentivise anyone to leave who wants to do so.

If I imagine the software costing ten million dollars, and then balloon it to a billion, I think that's still only half a percent of the annual road budget.

> ...all the orchestration of jobs should happen through mediator (same for load)

So, in a smaller app, when a request comes into job/views.py or load/views.py then we immediately start working with JobLoadMediator to handle business logic between the two? I was just going to focus on specific tasks between job and load. I'll probably look into signals; I haven't used those in several years and as I recall, it felt hacky.

> give a more descriptive name to the mediator

When a Job is deleted, it needs to delete associated Loads. And the states of the Loads will affect the state of the Job. That's the main cycle I'm looking at right now.
The barrier to this isn't economics, it's the regulatory process for utilities, which are often regulated to be monopolies.

And for that matter, this sort of building of solar projects by small players has been going on for years, very successfully, under a PPA model.

In places where it's allowed for startups to build new generation resources and get compensated on the market, such as Texas' ERCOT, solar is a dominant force. The challenge is not the tech, the challenge is that too many people are doing it, draining the supply chain:

We don't have the standard of 150 years ago. 150 years ago the 8-hour work day was fought for by workers who had to normally work from dawn to dusk, 6 days a week. It was a reform, not an imposition!

Today we work far fewer hours than our ancestors did, we make a lot more money for the work we do, we have more days off, a better standard of living, and much longer life expectancy with the possibility of multi-decade retirement. Things are way better now!

That's a separate document, which is not IRS form 1040. The Form 1040 Instructions document is informative, not normative; you can compare for instance the qualifying child tests here: https://www.irs.gov/publications/p501#en_US_2022_publink1000... which as you see do not include gender. To be specific you may refer to 26 USC §152(2), which only specifies gender-specific terminology in (2)(b), where they mandate "brother, sister, stepbrother, or stepsister of the taxpayer". I'll be writing my representatives asking this language be changed to "sibling or stepsibling of the taxpayer."

In the meantime, Form 1040 itself does not and has never mandated a description of "son" or "daughter."

Insnt the problem that nobody have ever developed an complex system using modern programming languages where

"engineers feels like they have control over the code and are not afraid of doing changes."

And that trying to have it as a goal only results in the project getting fragmented in a messy ball of micro-components(services/classes/libraries) with complex inter dependencies that nobody feels like they have control over the code and are not afraid of doing changes to?

It's almost as if there is no real solution to complexity that avoids having to deal directly with the complexity inherent to a problem domain, and that means developing documentation and testing that allows people to touch/change scary systems.

"This scholarship is only for blacks, latinos and women"

Would you describe that as not systemic?

And I personally think your proposed alternarive just amounts to word games.
Agreed. I very much like my workplaces approach atm, which I jokingly call medium-sized services, mostly.

Due to acquisitions, we have 6 or 7 big messy monoliths and actually, 3-5 infrastructure stacks. This in turn means, we have something like 12 different user management systems (because each monolith contains a few layers of legacy user management, it'd be boring otherwise), 4-5 different file and image stores (some products just don't have one), 4-5 different search implementations. It's a bit of a messy zoo.

Our path out of that mess is to either extract, or re-implement functionality common to the products in smaller scale, standalone services - for example so you end up with a centralized user management, or a centralized attachment system. And these things certainly aren't micro, user management does a bit of search, a bit of SAML, a lot of OIDC, some CRUD for users, groups and such. If you wanted to be silly, this could be 5-6 "micro-services".

But realistically, why? We do gain advantages by having this in a smaller service - we can place a bit of extremely critical functionality in a small service and we can manage that service very, very gently. And we can reduce redundant efforts, even if migrations to this service takes some work. But what would some dedicated SAML-integration-spring-app improve, besides moving 1-2 tables into another database/schema?
I was also a bit surprised that the Chinchilla numbers and tables don't reproduce and that there are calculation bugs in the paper (e.g. the FLOPs calculation in the paper is wrong), especially because the paper has been so impactful in the field. Maybe people are focusing on the broad themes of the paper (e.g. scale model and data approx. in tandem) and just roughly interpolating the main Figure, without sweating the details. The corresponding authors responded very kindly at first and I was able to bring the results closer but now they went dark. Still hoping to make things match, if others in LLM space can spot any issues in my own reproduction please let me know.
An even more sophisticated yet still simple potential justification is simply the rule of 40 [0] is now not hit for many of these tech companies.

So now they have to cut costs to be considered above this threshold, which makes shareholders happy among other benefits.

Sure there will be copy cats, but this just seems like some correlation equals causation rationale.

Woodworking was also my gateway into CNC and machining metal. The most important lesson it taught me was that every manufacturing process has a system of tools around it. One tool is almost never enough to build anything of quality. Early on, I was very interested in the charm and ingenuity of individual tools. After learning more and working in the field, I realized that building sophisticated things is all about the integration of tool systems into stable, predictable processes. A holistic approach is necessary.

This isn’t true legally (where “sex” is really an ascribed gender assigned at birth and possibly updated later for a variety of reasons) or medically (since an individual with a 46,XX karyotype can be male or female medically, as can an individual with a 46,XY karyotype.)
