Depends on your definition of advanced. A coffee maker is more advanced than Waymo because it can do something Waymo can't. Waymo could easily modify their cars so that they can make coffee and can drive everywhere with a lower failure rate than Tesla, but they don't want to. On the other hand, Tesla can't do what Waymo does.
A checksum can be falsified as easily as a binary, and so can a signature. Only if you participate in a web or trust are you theoretically better off... but most people don't, so all such measures do is give a false sense of security.

> Shotwell famously has a team of handlers to occupy Musk

I'm sure you have source for that. And I'm sure she already did that when she was Head of Sales right?

And its funny how Tom Mueller, Hans Königsmann, Garrett Reisman and every other higher up in SpaceX talks about lots and lots direct interaction with Musk.

Funny how 'Liftoff' the book about SpaceX doesn't mention anything about that. And the author of this book is currently writing about the the Falcon 9 days, and I think that book will confirm the same thing again (and the author of those books interviewed literally 100s of current and former SpaceX people).

And again, pretty much every single person in leadership positions at SpaceX would disagree with you. But its great that you know so much more.

> to recognize what a shitty CEO he is

Ok, so how do you define a good CEO if not based on the company he leads are successful. Sure if its a short term success maybe you can point to other factors. Musk has been in his position longer then pretty much every other CEO in both the space and the car industry and both companies are absurdly successful.

Look, you personally dislike him and you don't like his style. But that is just irrelevant. By any actual objective measure Musk is one of the most successful CEOs in history. The results speak for themselves and its not even really debatable.

That you have to bring up individual practices that you dislike, shows that you can't actually point to any aggregate results to make your point.

> you only need to pay attention to the disaster that has been his Twitter acquisition

If you actually think that in a 30+ year career the only thing relevant is one acquisition then you are actually delusional. Any fair assessment takes into account a whole career and not one acquisition.

And in terms of Twitter, the results should be judged after 5-10 years and not the first year.

posteo.de is an example of a company offering an email account with some storage for 1 euro a month on Roundcube webmail or IMAP/POP3. Not a customer, nor anything to do with them, but I do keep this in mind in case my current ISP gets taken over or goes under. Once there is a credit card registered and all it is easy to upsell ( more storage and more aliases &c).

I wonder if they make any money on the 1 euro accounts given the tendency of most people to not use the max resources?
"Bigotry" and "spreading hate" are meaningless terms in this context. Bigotry is defined as "making moral claims contrary to certain modern ones which I subscribe to" and "hate" is used to mean "not supporting [immoral] actions which I support".
Watson had a ton of promise. I feel like IBM was desperate for revenue and to reinvent itself as a younger more innovative startup-type so the marketing and sales people took over what was VERY clearly an immature technology and tried to sell it everywhere.

They were good at that, but then the tech didn't meet the lofty expectations that had been created.

ChatGPT is entirely different - people understand instantly how useful it is and don't need marketing and sales people to peddle it.

Microservices are not only "function calls over TCP" though. There are other concerns such as database per service vs a single shared database. There are also security implications that you don't have with a monolity. Designing it that way from the beginning could easily be as complicated as making them separate services.
Part of it (and I was briefly at IBM after the Watson craze so I heard some complaining) was also that they'd rebranded a lot of other things as Watson to try to cash in on it.
Gwynne is not now 'working on Starship'. The South Texas base was simply integrated into the normal organizational structure rather then being a Skunk works kind of thing. Gwynne always helped with work on Starship.

Offload most police duties to civilian organizations who are specifically trained to do them. Traffic enforcement doesn't need a gun. Mental health crisis intervention is made worse by cops. (A yelling homeless man doesn't need a cop, they need someone trained to help with this specific issue.)

Retain a small number of cops to deal with serious crimes (homicides, etc) and disarm them except in emergencies.

We also need to tackle criminal justice reform - ensure we have sufficient public defenders, ensure people have speedy access to trials, don't lock everyone in jail while awaiting trial, don't pressure people to plead guilty to crimes they didn't commit just so they can keep out of jail. Reprioritize minor offenses - who cares if someone has pot, why are we spending any time on it?

That's not dismissive, but important, especially if I'm going to be administering potent cardiac or other medications to you via IV, that could have serious complications.

Choosing not to have children isn't always sour grapes.

The crucial difference here is that people never got to use Watson. They just watched it play Jeopardy, and then went on with their lives. No one was able to actually use Watson in their daily life, so of course we all forgot about it.
IBM has ruined everything its touched for the past 20 years. The out of touch executives, insane amount of marketing/sales hype, and cycles of consolidation and cancelation of products turns people off. Why trust IBM with a critical part of your infrastructure or stack? If it weren't for the extremely lucrative legacy deals they get thru ERP sales to governments and F500 companies or z/os stuff, they'd be 6 feet under, but somehow, they are still a go-to vendor for all sorts of legacy trash. Don't get me wrong, they've produced alot of great technologists and contributions to software/hardware, but not a company I'd trust.

> Basically, one of the problems was customers who just set the spot price to 10x of the nominal price and leave the bids unattended. This was usually fine, when the price was 0.2x of the nominal price. But sometimes EC2 instance capacity crunches happened, and these high bids actually started competing with each other. As a result, customers could easily get 100 _times_ higher bill than they expected.

Thanks for sharing, though I'm confused about this part. It seems like expected behaviour?

Any possible spot/auction system I can think of would have the inherent possibility of a sudden surge in pricing.
Interesting. Maybe I live in a weird bubble, but the "lol fail" types I saw didn't appear to notice it until much later. Scott Manley was the first I saw talking about it (and he says he got a lot of pushback on that, even).
Not sure the analogy holds up, if we are looking for an analogy, AlphaGo seems to work better: it was an impressive and unexpected stunt, for sure, but it wasn't really clear how that would translate into business applications. ChatGPT is different, it's a business of its own right from the start, and it is its users who are falling over themselves thinking up new business applications, not just its creator. The bigger risk to OpenAI is that their moat looks increasingly shallow, more and more people are having success training their own models.

Back during the Watson hype our company had a partnership with another company who was betting big on Watson. So, I was loosely around to watch it unfold.

It started off rosy, the CEO of the company we were partnered with had fully bought onto the hype train. Every meeting we had he couldn't help but mention Watson (by name). I tried to gently warn him that maybe, just maybe, he had fallen for the marketing hype and the idea wasn't going to be a blockbuster like he thought. It fell on deaf ears.

Over the course of the next year or so, they pumped big $$$ into the project. Eventually, the project was quite delayed and over budget and the CEO stopped bringing it up. I asked about the status of that Watson thing and the look on his face said everything. Not long after the entire leadership team was shaken up.
My manager is pretty confused about what ChatGPT is, just in the same way the same way they’re confused about Python. So not too worried yet.

They’re not going to be coding tomorrow.
The worst that can happen is that they can deplatform you as far as I can tell from the ToCs so I bet some people will do just that if their fees go up at the end of the year.

The public never had an opportunity to use Watson. They should have forgotten; it wasn't for them.

IBM's marketing department, at least at one time, understood that public recognition drove sales in the boardroom. Stripping the company of any and every product that was consumer or consumer adjacent hurt their recognition and reputation. Of course, this is just one of many reasons IBM is less of a company today.
Will that package all the dependencies in?

I am not a python dev and testing AI stuff in Python made me hate python ecosystem (not the language ) a lot. All this new AI projects are made by enthusiaste, they depend on a specific CUDA version, a specific A,B,D python lib versions. Very often shit does not work anymore and you need to google and hope other person was unlucky before you and posted some commit version of the stuff that still works.

My advice for people that test AI stuff, after you get it working do not update, try if possible to install the new version side by side and see if it works, it saves you the pain to roll back to a good version.

> Nope. Semantically they are still semi-colon separated lists.

Double nope. Tcl lists, even when they were specially formatted strings in 7.x versions, were never "semi-colon separated lists". For all but the simplest lists the special formatting was and is much closer to LISP s-exprs, only using {} instead of () for the formatting delimiter. Which was how Tcl's lists, just like LISP lists, can represent nested list structures, which plain semi-colon separators cannot.

> The fact that recent official TCL engines include performance optimisations does not change that fact, nor does it fix most of the issues with "everything is a string".

But it does mean that in modern Tcl versions, your code does not have to pay the price of parsing that special string more than once, removing the biggest issue with "everything is a string" (the performance issues in 7.x versions).

> Yes of course it needs quoting so that semicolons can be included. Thanks for pointing out one of the downsides of "everything is a string".

That is no more a downside of "everything is a string" than needing to quote an ASCII double quote (") in a C string literal because double quotes delimit the literal itself is a downside of C string literals. The special characters in any language will need some method of quoting to be used as themselves in positions that they would otherwise be interpreted as part of the language grammar.
The comparison makes sense in the context of Sierra Leone, where the study was done. The full article mentions that there are very few surgeons there, and that basic surgeries are usually done by general MDs or ACs, the types of training compared.

Certainly relevant to Sierra Leone and other poor countries, probably not relevant to rich countries that generally have surgeons do this type of surgery.
