This article is amateur hour. And by that I mean "amateur" in the sense of "lacks the business experience to see past their own narrow experiences".

I work for a consultancy that works for some of the biggest investment funds in the world. We do some flat rate and we do some hourly. Sometimes hourly is exactly what the customer wants and is aligned with our interests. Sometimes it's not. I have also freelanced successfully with the same experience, and as a customer there are things I absolutely want hourly.

For example, discovery should always be hourly, or you screw it up by making discovery that leads to a no-go conclusion unlikely, even if no-go is the Right Thing. One of the best things I ever learned for consulting was how to do this - clients who have paid you a reasonable fee to discover that they are not ready to go ahead will be talking about your honestly and credibility to anyone who will listen. Managing when things should be hourly or not is a huge part of what builds credibility. Blanket statements about how one should never be trying to do hourly work reveal nothing but business ignorance.

Wow. This is what I learned almost 25 years ago. Documentation is king. It beats pair programming. It beats knowledge transition. It is supposed to be a living document. You are supposed to track-note where you took a different path.

I assume the article’s reference to SAGE is referring to the system that routed early warning radar station data to NORAD. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAGE_radar_stations

Thanks for the reply, and the info on Weblate too. I’ll check it out the next time I need a localized site. Looks like a nice tool.
Yes, when you fully optimize something by one metric, like cost, other metrics, like reliability, get worse and worse.

Funny thing that if you get any book about Toyotism and Lean, this warning is around the first things you see. You only optimize until you start seeing problems, then you either stop or improve things so the problems don't happen anymore and you can move further. Well, looks like the management at the company that led this culture is forgetting the lesson.

When you connect a phone to most cars via Bluetooth, the call and general audio permissions are separate from text message and contact info. So for example, in my mom's new car, I connect my phone so that when I drive it, I can take phone calls and listen to music. But for example it can't even display the contact name of contacts who call me, because it doesn't have access to that, so it just displays the phone number.

That goes down the same conspiracy theory rabbit hole like claiming that all state employee bureaucrats just try to bloat their dept. to have more power which ultimately wastes tax money.

Some people have standards and want to do good. Some of them work in Hollywood. And some of them in your city's administration. Not everybody is as selfish and unethical as portrayed here.

Maybe it reflects on the person expressing such theories though.
at 28 the most you'll make at big tech is $500k right now.
there are people who are raking in $10M+ per year in their 20s, and they ain't thinking about charity or retiring.

the best way to improve the world is to create new businesses that innovate in niche areas or pioneer brand-new industries, thereby employing thousands of people in the process and raising GDP per capita more than you could have as an employee.

then when you get rich and "make it", you can create your own philanthropy and donate if you so choose.
Walmart might be the biggest scam company in the United States — they've stolen over $100 million in unpaid overtime, and pay wages so low that they've recommend their employees utilize foodstamps. Then there are the standard corporate playbooks: a popular one is to keep a significant amount of employees just under full-time so you don't have to legally give them benefits.

There are hundreds of Dave's at corporate Walmart, and they care so little about the employees at any given location that they probably wouldn't even return an email, let alone talk to shift workers face-to-face.
Milk has minerals like potassium and a low glycemic index as lactose takes a while to digest. That could help.
All design methodologies have their drawbacks, but I think the most hellish design method is "Agilefall", where you use the trappings of Agile/Scrum/Kanban development (Jira, standups, tickets, etc.) to implement a series of hardcore requirements the clients thought up before anyone started building anything.

I worked at a software company that built extremely sensitive survey applications (iOS, Android, and web-based). A significant part of my job entailed breaking down a literal design specification document into Jira tickets, which were then worked on by a rotating staff of programmers. The rotating programmers were assigned to 10-30 apps at one time and often had to make enormous customizations to the base product. The base product was formed out of 15 separate sub-products whose teams did not correspond with each other. The clients were allowed to make broad changes to the entire system by (a) changing the design document (b) emailing furious demands to the sales team/my manager (c) adding requirements to the master contract and not telling us. There was no traceability established between the contract/design doc/tickets, and I was not allowed to standardize any of those documents. There was no standardized format for writing the Jira tickets, so every person on my team made up their own method. The design document was missing about 40% of the context necessary to deliver a working app, so I added that context into the Jira tickets, but the clients weren't allowed to review the Jira tickets. I spent 20% of my time in "Scrum" meetings including sprint planning, sprint reflection, and hour-long standups. My company was worth hundreds of millions of dollars. I made a fat chunk of change in a year and a half, put a down payment on a house, and quit.
"Waterfall" has become a straw man, to the extent that an article merely arguing that X is better than waterfall is wasting time that could be better spent on saying what X gets right.

Similarly, arguing over what "waterfall" really means is just so much flogging of a dead horse.
that sounds like a nightmare to me and should have to be opted into, I would never purchase a car with that. I'll just get a motorcycle and risk my life.
Well that's still billing by the hour, it's just a bigger unit of measurement.
Because whole grains have a lot of fiber and high dietary fiber intake has consistently been shown to be critical to several different health outcomes. And intake of whole grains specifically is also strongly linked to positive health outcomes while in most cases low carbohydrate diets of various sorts are not.

Do people gain weight when they switch their SAD out with whole grains and carbs like legumes? I'd wager the evidence says no.

Frankly it sounds like exactly what obese people should be eating: swap out highly palatable foods with beans, broccoli, and bulgur.
>The kind of information collected varies from personal information like medical data to how drivers are using the vehicle itself — such as how fast they drive, where they drive, and even the music they listen to. Both Nissan and Kia are noted to allow the collection of information regarding a user’s sex life.

>Eighty-four percent of the reviewed car brands share personal user data with service providers, data brokers, and potentially sketchy businesses, according to the report, with 76 percent claiming the right to sell that personal data.

>Tesla was the worst-ranked brand in the study, getting flagged in every privacy category — only the second time this happened.

>Alongside the report, Mozilla also published a breakdown explaining how car companies collect and share user data. This can include anything from the user’s name, address, phone number, and email address to more intimate data like photos, calendar information, and even details on the driver’s race, genetic information, and immigration status.
Mozilla says it also couldn’t confirm that any of the automakers could meet the organization’s minimum security standards regarding data encryption and protection against theft.

Yeah, but I like that I control the environment, so I can install whatever utilities, runtimes, etc that I want.
Ambition and work. Law firms, financial companies, media... people are starting low and working their way up, with starting salaries easily in the lower 100K range. You live close to work because you work 12 hour days. It's worth paying 1K more so you don't have a 1 hour commute to Flatbush or East New York, where your Seamless options and friends are limited.

Not that I've tested it with this model, but I have for Llama2 models...it makes a minimal difference. I haven't found anything that was noticeable with ~30-70b models, and from what I can tell from the scaling charts, it matters even less with the larger parameter count models.
You can't give them a slap on the wrist if you assert what they are doing isn't criminal. Having an issue with the punishment model is no reason to throw out the law.

I think the subject has enough depth and complexity to it that we need to promote cooperation with companies. We can build protections against companies being dicks much easier that we can codify the difference between malicious or innocent intent behind actions that are more or less identical up until damages happen.

I don't think I'm proposing anything that assertive. I'm suggesting we just put it all in the open and down on paper in a way that addresses most of the concerns and involves the company.

Documented evidence that companies were notified of security issues by people who declared that they were researchers, who the company approved to research, is a great thing to have in the fight against ignorant companies.

I completely agree that a degree of this is quaint with respect to a lot of the trouble coming from outside your jurisdiction. I just really don't see an issue with creating protected avenues for people to do research.

Opening someone's front door "on a lark" can get you shot in some states. I get that innocent people do technically illegal actions sometimes but that doesn't change whether or not an action is perceived as threatening.

So I recommend we start writing down the actions that need to be protected and at the very least give someone acting in good faith a bulletproof way to both conduct research and preserve innocence.

If you happen to uncover something accidentally and are concerned, then you can make the request afterwards and repeat your finding and report it. So no need to feel the need to stay silent
GPS Is Doing More Than You Thought (2019)
I like that entirely vibes-based reddit discourse has made its way onto this platform.
The feds have mandated a screen (for backup cameras).

Then the makers try to minimize costs by having the screen do everything.

I have no required inspections here in the US... No Emissions, no Safety, no inspections at all
I doubt it's that sophisticated. There's unfortunately an alignment problem where you can boost your resume by saying you "discovered" CVEs, and it's hard for a hiring company to check if a CVE in some random program is bogus garbage or real issue. As a result people are incentivised to file garbage CVEs. See also: garbage answers on Stack Overflow.

Edit: To expand a bit on "alignment issue". CVEs are easy to create and are quite a trusted system. There's no penalty for the reporter if they are bogus (discovered or not). Also there's a huge amount of downstream work that happens after a CVE is reported, eg. at Red Hat we have teams of people who run around categorizing and deploying fixes, customers have to update, there are security reporting tools, even government regulations. None of this burden is carried by the reporter if they are wrong.
Mental health engineering right there
Yeah, it's useful to observe the correlation -- processed foods tend to be optimized for junk-food traits -- but going to war on this basis is insane. You'll just wind up discarding a bunch of genuine culinary advances while kicking open the door for fraudulent health foods, of which there are already too many.

I was roundly mocked for predicting that sugar would rebrand as "natural" with marketing that heavily exploited "natural=healthy", but now that I have been proven right I just want to see the madness stop here.

It's besides the point because Musk's targeting of the ADL occurs while he also boosts anti-semitism on his platform.

>As for the accountability, it seems obvious to me that if accusing a Jewish organisation of wrongdoing automatically exposes you to such a terrible suspicion as that of making antisemitic dogwhistles, then these organisations get free rein to say whatever they want because even challenging them produces an unacceptable reputational damage.

I'm not sure how they are any less accountable than he is. If he wants to sue them, he can. There is nothing stopping that because the ADL is a Jewish organization. What accountability do you think there is aside from that? The ADL can't force anything to happen, they can just advocate for their side as he does.

You are being purposefully obtuse. Musk isn't being called an antisemite because he's singled-out the ADL, it's because he's amplified antisemitism and doesn't seem to care about it.
Spelling challenges are always going to be inherently difficult for a token-based LM. It doesn't actually "see" letters. It's not a good test for performance (unless this is actually the kind of question you're going to ask it regularly).

This thread is a great example of how engineering is often NOT a solution to problems, classic "hammer and nail" territory here. And how engineers often ofterthink things unnecessarily ;)

THe same strategy is employed by PyTorch. If you do "pip install PyTorch", like I've done many times, it just tells you to "pip install torch" instead. To be even more confusing, though, the Anaconda package is actually named "PyTorch".
The biggest problem is that we don't have adequate tools for writing requirements. Even wireframing tools convert the process into graphic design problems.

Fine-Tuning LLMs: LoRA or Full-Parameter? An In-Depth Analysis with Llama 2
I just don't see this issue getting much traction until something really bad happens to a large group of powerful people. But even then it may not come to light as said people will cut a deal with car companies to exclude them from telemetry sighting "national security". They of course won't publicize this and when it inevitably becomes public they will just shrug.

It won't get traction for the average person because the immediate effects are positive (lower insurance) and the dangers are very theoretical (a bad actor knowing where my car is). People are much more concerned about the near and present danger of bad actors hacking their financial accounts and stealing they hard-earned money.
China bans government officials from using iPhones for work
I spent a lot of time researching all this a few years ago when looking for a new car. Despite the ability to afford any car, I am still riding a bike and taking public transit because of what I discovered. I know this is a difficult option for people in many places, but I am happy. Car makers should take notice that a growing number of people like me want a FOSS OS rather than an Iphone on wheels.

The medical industry employs about 15 to 20 percent of all active US workers [0]. Some people read that and think it's a good thing, "wow, such job creators", like measuring software accomplishment by the number of lines.

No wonder my medical costs are so high. Every high premium and medical bill is my turn to personally support 20% of the nation. I wonder how much is left over for the doctor?

This will be difficult to solve because "make the system simpler and fire lots of people" is painful and not politically popular.

In modern era everything mechanical, or analog is being replaced with digital, or with something "as a software". Product is replaced with "service".

With oligopoly,monopoly the power player can decide with very granular precision what you can, and cannot do, where you can go. You have no power to object. Even government bodies could be against you, or could be too small to fight big corporations.

- cameras in cars. What they will detect? If I am drunk, or something more? Will there be glitches to record more stuff? Will the cars have back doors for governments?

- what kind of data will cars collect? Audio? Video? Biometrics? Facial data? Hate speech?

- they can analyze where you go, why you do something, maybe for analytics, for governments, or for ad business

- they can define terms of conditions, which of course can allow the producers to sell your data to third parties for cheaper models of cars
