You don't seem to understand that Dunning-Kreuger effect. Let me quote from the article that you cited:

"The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge."

In other words, by invoking D-K, you have implicitly said that you think I am a person "with low ability, knowledge, or expertise" regarding the matter at hand. But I am a licensed private pilot with 30 years of flying experience, and a software engineer with a Ph.D. and over 40 years of professional experience, including over 15 years working at NASA and at an aerospace startup I co-founded. Those are all just facts. In the face of those facts, an implicit and unsupported assessment that I am a person of "low ability, expertise, or experience" is an ad hominem, essentially saying, "Yeah, you have all these credentials, but you still might be an idiot." Well, yeah, I might be. There are lot of idiot pilots out there, and there are a lot of idiot software engineers out there, and I may well be a member of both groups. One of the big problems with idiocy is that it does not yield readily to introspection. (And you might want to mull that over a few times before you respond.)

As long as I'm pointing out your logical fallacies, here's another one:

> your point is that professional airline pilots, their union, or an airline are less qualified to understand the safety implications of this incident

No, that is not my point, which makes this a straw-man [1]. The fact that neither the union nor the airline have publicly expressed the same concern that I have in no way implies a lack of expertise on their part. There are many other possibilities, one of which is that they agree with me, but they are savvy enough to realize that there is nothing to be gained by saying so publicly.

Apologies. Clumsy phrasing. I meant Polish programmers, but comparison used in memes was about Indian programmers.
I don't think someone inputting a phrase and getting an entire artwork which was the product of many hours of labor which was not their own, not even including the labor of the artists whose work the program was trained on, means that their input was involved much at all. You could say that by the same logic my comment, being a string inputted on a computer built by labor not my own, posted to a website built by others, means that it is not my comment being written but simply text being posted to this website using the technology I am employing. But that wouldn't cohere, simply because I could write this anywhere else, and in fact I could write it with a pencil or even carve it into a wall using a stone I found; the tool, in that case, is separate from the work itself and its reproducibility. The AI art which was generated for the book could NOT have been reproduced anywhere else with other tools in the even remotely the same way, it is only on account of being inputted into that specific machine which it was generated thusly, therefore it is not an actual work of art by this person who inputted the phrase, whose unique creativity could be applied using other tools to produce similar art, but something generated almost wholly by the machine on account of an external input, and something unique to that machine specifically.
Okay? You're talking about the requirements for new computers in the era, that retail software could assume. Meanwhile, I'm talking about the requirements for consumer electronics sold into the market in the era; where, to have the widest TAM, companies would usually design connectivity around the assumption that the person purchasing the device has a very old computer.

Idk. I feel like this is just culture trying to make up stories for each gender to define what deviance is supposed to look like

It reminds me of how some people gravitate towards mbti types or enneagram even though they're obviously pseudoscience

Are gender norms different though? Yes. But I don't think they should be. And the first step to overcoming them is disregarding the stupid stories that sound true

I see zero problem with that. If great literary works can be produced with a click of a button we should do it. And if they’re not great then they’re not great - we’re already more than capable of producing not great novels.
I reject your conveniently naive framing. Somebody has to work and pay for all the healthcare. The reality is that you might just as well be a properly compensated worker who chooses to work less, thus getting an unjustified discount on full healthcare. That is morally wrong. Of course, accommodations can be made for those who absolutely can not afford healthcare otherwise, but that is a separate question.
They were never the poster child for "employee centric" companies; they were just young, successful, made an awful lot of money and spent it. From this timeframe Fog Creek was the defacto "developer first" company.

That's the thing, people will wear an accessory, but different people will wear different accessories and will absolutely refuse to wear others.

It makes it very hard for a business when, for instance, very few men are willing to wear your bangle or people can't wear your glucose monitoring hat inside nice restaurants.

It's likely that different wearable forms will become more common and accepted, but that is one of those predictions you hear every year for the last thirty years and it's true to an extent but also there is a long way to go.
So they're 2-4 years away from a big announcement that they're becoming more efficient and maximizing shareholder value by not developing their own OS any more and instead they're "collaborating" with Google and shipping Android Auto.

>>The parent comment talked about how FB never have any kind of long term thinking. I refute that comment with one example.

Having any amount of successful products is the past. Sure it will continue to give you profits. But that is the past. Making new products is the future.

You will never build a company, let alone a profitable successful one by penny pinching techniques like layoffs. The only real way to build a good company is to build good products. So far Mr Z, has shown he could build only one, and only one moat. Every other product has come from an acquisition. And those acquired companies themselves have been unable to build newer products.

This is a far bigger problem.

Compared this to companies that have survived decades the likes of Apple, Microsoft, Amazon. Even car companies Tesla etc. In general what makes it rain is building products and selling them.
Thanks for responding. I may give it a try!
I ran gentoo, from stage1 ~amd64. I compiled everything from scratch. I know I did it in hard mode.
What an incredibly well-timed and affably packaged reminder of the US' current and future space-bourne potential.

Whether intentionally so, perhaps in response to something that goes or might soon be going both literally and figuratively over our heads, we'll probably never know.

Either way, the message will no doubt be picked up on by one or two certain countries from across the Atlantic, both of which have relatively recently also started launching and doing stuff up there.
Weirdly enough I never had issues with my previous generation Volvo that used their proprietary OS (circa 2020) compared with the Android Auto built-in my latest Volvo (2023). I've noticed that my backup camera app can be slow to load almost sometimes failing to load or even loading and then crashing when you shift into reverse gear. I don't know if this is Android to be blamed or some flaky code by Volvo but makes me nervous nonetheless. On the plus side when everything works smoothly, its great to be able to load a wider library of Android auto apps compared with the measly selection of apps Volvo provided previously.
Done! Thanks for letting me know, I totally missed that section.
What a great idea!

Start by rationing red meat ... since it obviously isn't expensive enough yet :)
I mean if what they want is a better standard, so there can be a dozen compliant operating systems we can all compile our stuff for, then maybe.

To look at things from another angle, what if having had POSIX all these years actually made things more uniform, in the sense that we didn't have variance between systems as large as e.g. between a BSD Unix and a Lisp machine? What if that were our choices today. As it is the largest mainstream departure is maybe Windows.
Wildly tangential (given what the article actually means by "Optical Transformer"), but I was thinking about this the other day and what I really want is an Audial Transformer.

The main reason for this is I want something I can hum a song to and it tells me what the song is. We have Shazam, but AFAIK that works almost entirely using fourier transforms / audio signals in frequency space, and so doesn't work well if it's not an actual snippet of the song. But it would be cool if we could train an audio model like we've trained language models to "fill in the gaps" for me. Potentially there could be some interesting applications where you sing an entirely new song and the model could "fill in the gaps" with instruments, etc.
I think this is orthogonal to the issue.

By early teens, peers are the largest influence on a child and they have more than enough opportunities to pressure for or use a phone at school or after school, regardless of the work status of either parent.
Microsoft (as another giant monster of a company) at least has the decency to contain terrible parts (Windows, parts of Azure & and consumer goods) and amazing parts (Programming, parts of Azure and developer tools). Google is just uniformly bad.

Yep, exactly. My personal vehicle is a 2000 model year Toyota. It has an incredibly good, stable, and modern CarPlay head unit from Sony, because back whin the car was made we had standards like double-DIN head units and you could just plop in a new stereo. Which is exactly what I did, and now I have a "golden age" mechanically reliable, nigh-un-killable Toyota with a modern carplay head unit.

And as a bonus, I can adjust everything about the car (climate control, volume, overdrive, 4wd, ECT mode, etc) with real buttons and tactile feedback while going down a washboard track, without ever having to take my eyes off the road.

If anyone out there starts making EVs with the same bare-bones attitude (analog knobs and dials, no flashy infotainment system, double-DIN head unit slot, modern safety features and a simple ultra-reliable EV powertrain), sign me up. It'll probably never happen because there's not really an economic incentive right now to try to hit lower price-points in the EV market, everyone's going upmarket. But I'd still love to see somebody try.
Actually you need to be a government employee too.
Paid for by whom exactly? What opportunity are they "squandering"? SpaceX (along with investors) are footing the bill for building out this service. If you suddenly kneecap them and say they can't provide it for more than $50/month who will pay the bill? If the US government were to try it and pass such a law without payment to SpaceX, SpaceX would sue them in court and easily win. You can't steal value away and not offer compensation.

>Long term something will give. We will continue to march toward totalitarianism until it is no longer sustainable.

That can be a very long time. The Soviet system lasted for many decades before it finally collapsed (and what's there now is even worse, though not for the satellite nations that freed themselves from Russian dominance), and the Chinese system is still going strong. I don't see North Korea in danger of imminent collapse either.

I think the idea that totalitarianism isn't "sustainable" is a fallacy. Long-term, nothing is truly sustainable; every governmental system falls apart at some point.

Spam is a solved problem, thanks to SPF and DKIM. But despite doing all the right things, Microsoft and Google continuously block and rate-limit delivery.

Case in point: we deliver 20,000 booking confirmation emails every day, all requested by users and not spam. We have perfect Postmaster Tools metrics: absolutely zero reported spam, 100% IP reputation, high domain reputation, zero feedback loop spam, 100% encryption. But Gmail still rate-limits us daily, so their customers get their booking confirmations several hours late.

It's getting to the point where running an independent mail server is impossible. Yet another part of the open internet bites the dust.
Wikipedia has a telling graph of the murder rates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_New_York_City#Murders....

40% up from pandemic lows sounds concerning, but we're still down near the bottom of a 30 year decline.

And from: https://www.criminaljustice.ny.gov/crimnet/ojsa/stats.htm, NYC had anywhere from 120,000 to nearly 300,000 arrests each year from 2012 to 2021. 10 people abusing bail reform? 716 shooters? These numbers are many orders of magnitude lower than the number of people affected by crime and the criminal justice system in New York every year.
In civilized countries the police should have rules for how to act under certain conditions. For example how to de-escalate and then it’s allowed to drive through a red stoplight. In those countries if a police officer would drive through a red light without reason the should get a fine, suspension or other consequences. And I agree with an earlier commenter, since they should be extremely aware if the rules and boundaries, violations should be punished stricter.

>>But one big round of layoffs has much less impact than a series of smaller ones.

This is one is true. Routine never ending layoffs dent morale. People can never be sure if they are next, hence they don't start working on anything new. Everything goes into maintenance mode. Everybody is interviewing all the time. Eventual erosion of enthusiasm, morale and an overall doom+gloom situation means your already crappy situation gets more crappier.

If you have to absolutely do it, do it once and be done with it.
Monopolies being bad is an axiom of some kinds of political theory that doesn't seem always true. Like I said, they're easier to regulate because there's less of them - that's how utility companies work. And often they're also monopsonies, which means most "monopoly" analysis doesn't work on them.

And mom-and-pop businesses are totally capable of bad behavior and especially are worse to their employees! If they're too small to have HR departments they are perfectly capable of doing business based on personal grudges, wage theft, and accidentally doing things up to and including hiring slave labor.

> lie to investors

This one's funny because startup investors actually demand you lie to them (because they think it shows the right personality traits for a CEO, psychotic optimism), whereas large companies are public and the SEC will sue you if you lie in your investor reports.

I can relate deeply to this. Spent the last 2 years trying to get treatment for what turned out to be a neurological sleep movement disorder with an insomnia component. Basically I have sometimes ~150 involuntary limb movements/hr during sleep, they sometimes wake me up but even if they don't I wake up exhausted.

Things are getting better with medication finally, but yeah I've learned not to bring my sleep issues up with people generally. I diet, exercise, avoid caffeine and alcohol yes I've tried magnesium, as well as a slew of atypical antipsychotics, very old tricyclic antidepressants, and a parkinson's medication. Most people have a very hard time imagining what it's like to fight for each hour of sleep, so have a difficult time empathizing I think
To be clear, my point was that consumer electronics — like the iPod — were and are typically targeted at "everyone", not "computer enthusiasts" (which would be far too few people to be worth the CapEx of hardware product development); and that, for every one computer enthusiast on Earth, there are 100 grandmas (and other similar demographics.)

(Professional electronics, on the other hand, could make all sorts of demands and assume a very specific niche audience, because they were incredibly high-margin. There used to be a big difference between professional vs consumer electronics in terms of not just what parts they used, but what connectivity standards they could assume.)

> It was only grandmas who bought a Pentium 120 in the mid 90’s and hung onto it for decades.

And, uh, you know... poor people. Blue-collar poor people, who don't care much about computing. But who would really would like to listen to some music as they take the bus to work.

As I said in my original post, Apple was doing something very exceptional within the space of consumer electronics, by selling a consumer device (not a professional device!) that actually assumed a niche market (computer enthusiasts, who had thus purchased a recent Mac) rather than being "for everyone."
All major car OEM are challenged with a cohesive software development and integration. There are so many different units of ECU/ICI/ADAS/TCU/ABS/etc (and list goes on) and mostly all of them are interconnected, partial OTA, etc. Tesla having started software first and with their central ECU approach has a leading edge.

Mercedes with their MB.os, VW with their Cariad, Toyota with their Arene and each major automotive OWM is coming up with their own overarching OS platform shifting to software and mobility first.

Underneath is often a safety certifiable OS like QNX, combined with AutoSAR or Linux for less safety critical OS. So generally as far as I can tell most car OEM do not start from scratch and they have to work with the leading silicon supplier as well on all the OS driver support. You also have to consider full functional safety compliance across the globe, many teams/languages/etc. It truly is not that easy to orchestrate that all.

On top like someone commented here, many OEM are very hierarchical structured and creating software development across these different functional units/devisions is a challenge for most automotive companies are really struggling with.
“Just” may be soon enough to be worth a chat with a lawyer. Legally unenforceable contract might be retrospectively invalid… or the company might just cough up to avoid hassle depending on the payment size.
Or, have an all or nothing conviction standard. Either the defendant is convicted of all charges, or is fully acquitted if even one charge is found not guilty. That would force prosecutors to only bring on their strongest case.

Often I think it’s tempting to take claims more generally than they are stated. Based on the information in the article speeds across Vietnam have indeed slowed to a crawl. We would like to interpret that as all outbound connections for anyone in any area of the country have all slowed down to a crawl and while that is the simplest and most direct take it’s not really the claim being made. Even the article does some work pointing out its not everyone, not all the time, and not all connections are equally impacted (e.g. one person switching to a wireless connection which was now working faster than their wired).
