Very nice Readme! What have you used to generate the illustrations?

Also, congratulation guys. It looks very interesting and as an engineer I'm always happy to see more open-source solutions!

There isn't a "split control issue," the split control setup is fundamental to the way the Airbus control schema works. Changing it would be a non-starter.
I play daily and noticed this as well. I don't mind it at this point. I don't think I would pay for the subscription if they bundle it in, but I wouldn't blame them if they did. I think that would effectively make it a loss for them unless they use it to justify a price hike. Hopefully the ads model works for them.

I suspect your perspective is based on using well-established open source projects that have a long history and are popular enough to have reached critical mass.

The reality is that most open source projects are playing catch-up, especially in the hardware space. Linux still has many issues with newer GPU drivers (binary blobs instead of actually OSS ones), and even a semi-popular project like OpenWRT doesn’t have WiFi 6E support, even though devices have been out for a while.
i agree with that. i almost never create scripts though, because i work on multiple computers at once, and copying and adapting commandline snippets is easier than scripts that don't necesarily work the same on every machine. so i like improvements in the interactive experience like fish mostly focuses on. but if i were to write a script i would not use fish either.

that said, a language that focuses on shell scripts could be a good idea because there is not much work done yet in that space
Yes they can. You have to badge out of offices as well.

That really seems like a misunderstanding - you building something for your own use is not offering a service to third parties.
Glad to see the NER-like task performed the best, as I was just about to test something like this for comparison with a fine-tuned BERT model. Any idea about the training costs for this task?
My hot take is that they haven't quite been able to make it work for quantum physics either, they just got lucky that their makeshift solution works provided things don't couple together too tightly.

Also quantum field theory seems be just plain bad at explaining classical phenomena, which dominate general relativity. To me at least it seems quite difficult to describe a basic electromagnetic from the QFT, other than pointing at the Lagrangian in the path integral and saying something about how contributions outside its extremum will cancel out. Though perhaps I'm simply missing some trick here.
Robotaxi fight intensifies as California approves San Francisco expansion
We sort of agree, in that I believe we're both saying that the law is currently doing something bad, but that preventing unauthorized reuse of the news org's content isn't necessarily unreasonable.

However, I don't think calling it an execution issue is quite right. The basic concept built into the law is that telling someone where to go to get the news is a thing you should have to pay to do. We can imagine a far more restrained law that just forbids or requires payment for scraping-and-redisplay of article text... but that'd genuinely be a different law with a different goal.
Actually, Toyota replaced the Avalon with the international model Crown for some reason.
The DDA pipeline goes like this: ThermoRawFileParser -> Comet -> [a bunch of OpenMS tools] -> Percolator -> [custom quantification stuff]. The data is mostly derived from chemoproteomics experiments where you have isotopically labeled control and compound treated samples that are enriched with some probe. As a result, we work a lot with ratios and have to differentiate the scenario where your compound completely blocks probe labeling/enrichment or it's just stochastically missing due to the nature of DDA. For TMT it's pretty similar. I'm working on DIA as well though it turns out there's still quite a few challenges there for our particular use case.

To answer your broader question about the general need for some structured pipeline or workflow orchestration.. That comes down to volume of data (we do screens as well as one-off studies) and a desire to reduce human involvement as much as possible. So the goal is to have raw files be immediately picked up, processed, and loaded into on internal application where it can be queried and interesting data can be highlighted. During my PhD, this was also a goal of mine (and I have at least two github repos where I got close) but it was definitely less of a priority since actually doing experiments and downstream analysis was the limiting factor.

> So if you work for AWS for example out of an office in California, they might force you to relocate to Seattle.

Throwaway because who knows what they are monitoring.

We had an all-hands this week and the VP was pretty clear that they will force people to relocate at some point, saying that it made no sense for some people to be in New York if the rest of their team was in Seattle because it negatively impacted collaboration and "working on hard technical problems".

So I don't know what their timeline is, but at this point they are not really pretending that this will be between you and your manager/director. They will absolutely push this as a top-down policy.
AGI us not a very useful term, because people use it often synonymous with "human level or higher ability". But the opposite of "general AI" is not "less intelligent than a human" but "narrow AI". The narrow/general distinction is orthogonal to the low/high ability ("intelligence") distinction. All animals are very general, as their domain of operation is the real world, not some narrow modality like strings of text or Go boards. Animals are not significantly narrower than humans, they are significantly less intelligent. Understood this way, a cat level AI would be an AGI. It would just not be an HLAI (human level AI) or ASI (artificial superintelligence).
Depends on the workflow. For one off jobs or client tooling, parallelism makes sense to have rapid user feedback.

For batch pipelines on that work many requests, having a serial workflow has a lot of the advantages you mention. Serial execution makes the load more predictable and makes scaling easier to rationalize.
Musician Nick Cave: ChatGPT Is the 'Commodification of the Human Spirit'
On the other hand, it shows that there is a power dynamic reinforced:

Managers, VPs, "leadership" all work for Amazon. Just like individual contributors. No one is above the RTO policy, everyone had a clear understanding of their responsibilities. And there's no BS-ing from managers that will save certain employees, certain roles, over others. Instead, managers are tasked with doing their jobs, i.e., ensuring their team(s) adheres to RTO policy. This includes badge etiquette. Quite clear cut.

If you didn't think you were being tracked, you are delusional. You work for FAANG. And your company is not performing well right now. Further WEF shows Amazon is an early adopter of equipment used to track workplace performance.

As for the "loyalty" comment, this screams "I happily agreed to treat certain current and former employees really shitty, because I am so loyal to Amazon's workplace culture. And now Amazon is treating me the same way, and that's not fair." Loyalty is from Amazon to shareholders, private investors and partners. You know, business. Never forget that.

There's even a filter on youtube for searching for 'creative commons' content. This ruling seems to make it very difficult to download that content (explicitly intended to be shared and remixed) and illegal to work on software that makes it easier.
Right, runtime type checks do...and JavaScript has to do them pervasively. Hence OP's question - could these type annotations eliminate the need for type checks at real time by making type assertions static (the answer is no, but that was the question).
> This is slavery

Slavery in the sense that Amazon engineers are paid so much that they can't financially take a 50% pay cut to work at a small remote-first company.

I think a better characterization would be that many people are a slave to the lifestyle they've been able to obtain through very high salaries at top 20 tech firms.

That's a tough position to be in. But obviously not slavery by any stretch of the imagination (sell your $3m house, move to a cheaper neighborhood, get a cheaper car, and get a 100% remote job that pays 50% less). Or keep the lifestyle and drive to the office 3 times a week.

I agree. The main problems aren't syntax, they are architectural: Catching and retrying individual failures in a pool.map, anticipating OOM with heavy tasks, understanding process lifecycle and the underlying pickle/ipc.

All these are much more reliably solved with horizontal scaling.

That seems completely backwards to me. If you make more you should have be effectively taxed more, just gradually. Why would we ever want to have higher taxes just so someone who makes a hundred or 500K gets food stamps they don't need. You just get a bunch of people that don't need food stamps using food stamps as a tragedy of the commons. If you make 100k you still have to pay for everyone else's food stamps, so you want to use them too.
Yes, the grass really is greener over here, this IS the dream. I quit my job in 2017 to start a SaaS, and even though it's been really tough, as the first idea did not work out and I went bankrupt and had to return to the job/freelance market at one point, I eventually quit again and ended up starting a profitable solo SaaS about 2 years ago, and now I consider it one of the greatest blessings in my life. Dealing only with customers and code means no bullshit, only the pure joy of actual work, plus the freedom and independence of being able to live anywhere (at one point I lived on a small rural farm in the Carpathian Mountains of Ukraine, which was fantastic). My social circles are entirely outside of work, and it is so refreshing to associate with communities and friends not in the tech bubble.

If you want a community of like-minded people to support you, consider TinySeed capital, they invest in solo SaaS founders, although you need to have some traction. Also happy to chat if you want to reach out to the email in my profile. I have some ideas I would build if I had more time, but happy to give them out to someone else starting out.
I mean ... cars have had different error lights for decades. Doesn't seem like that much of a stretch that people would be able to use a little critical thinking when looking at computer error messages too.

Hi, everyone,

Yesterday, HashiCorp switched Terraform's license from MPL to BSL. In short, that makes them a "source available" company, not a truly "open source company".

The problem with this change is that the BSL license prohibits people from competing with HashiCorp, and the way "competition" is defined in their license is vague enough to be dangerous to anyone leveraging Terraform as part of a commercial offering.

Layerform is an open-source alternative to Terraform which has a superset of features based on a new abstraction: layers.

Layerform's goal is to make it easy for developers to reuse parts of their infrastructure for different environments. That way, engineers can spin-up production-like environments quickly, and make them less expensive.

We would love to look into ways of keeping the IP somewhere it could remain open-source and serve the community first.
Is that you Dave? :-) There was paper[1] comparing superscalar CISC approaches to uniscalar RISC in terms of work done over time versus instructions per clock. I recall telling srk at the time that it was a good treatise on how choosing the metric (IPC vs throughput) can influence ones thinking about what is "good" and what is "bad."

The IPC crowd reasons that if they can get a higher IPC value, then the process guys can crank the clock and everybody wins. The thoughput crowd takes the more pragmatic approach that Moore's law is dead and making silicon clock faster melts it so being clever in the ISA wins the day. Both camps have had successes and setbacks over the last 20 years.

I am really enjoying the RISC-V stuff which is getting back into this level of question with regard to CPU architectures. Also a good place to look if you want to catch up on what "modern" superscalar ideas are being added with support of instruction set flexibility. My guess is that wins the game in the long run.

Could Lionel Messi Supercharge Professional Soccer in the U.S.? [video]
The reality is there is not a single thing you can legislate or train that will prevent a pilot from flying a perfectly working plane into the ground if they get stubborn.

Aircraft emergencies are all about keeping you out of panic so that your natural instincts don't surface, because pretty much every natural or intrinsic human instinct, if followed, will just result in you flying the plane into the ground. Every sense you have is overwhelmed with "things aren't working the way I know they are supposed to and my control inputs seemingly have random results", and in a panic, your brain REALLY wants to revert to "just keep going up, away from danger", which is the opposite of what you need to do 95% of the time.

The only fix in this case would have been literally evicting that pilot from the cockpit, and there's no button for that.

I'm not sure if it clears the bar of official, but it seems to be not-unofficial. They were planning on open-sourcing a coordination server once they cleaned the code up, but then decided that there was no point in doing so due to Headscale. On top of that, one of the primary maintainers of Headscale works at Tailscale now.

I think every single one of my attorneys over the years has made it clear that if something is in the contract/license/etc, you absolutely have to assume it will be enforced, to the letter. No matter how stupid, no matter how unlikely. If it's written down, it was written down for a reason.

One of the worst mistakes you can make in life is believing anyone who says things like "oh, that's just boilerplate...we'd never act on it" or "don't worry, we would never enforce that" or similar. That's someone who is deliberately setting you up to get screwed.

Personally, I swore off Samsung SSDs after enjoying them for a while when I suddenly had two of them fail in a month after varying lengths of use.

It wasn't the failure that made me swear them off - failures happen, seven different layers of backups and all that fun, it was that I tried to RMA them, spent an entire day trying to do it, and literally could not find a way to do it.

Their web site was broken in every browser I tried with entirely vanilla no extensions anything, and I found reports of that being true going back years, and told me to try calling them.

Twice their phone tree eventually hung up on me, the third time I got a human who seemed incapable of understanding I could be calling about anything but a phone.
