Far from being completely impossible, subjective ethics are entirely more consistent than the alternative. The important thing about analyzing ethical systems is to find axioms that you actually believe. An unanalyzed moral system tends to have false axioms: things that the speaker says are fundamental tenets, but on further analysis simply don't stand muster.

For example, the Commandment "Thou shalt not kill" is anything but an axiom. All but the most unreasonable followers will be able to produce some circumstance where killing is moral. That's not an axiom, that's a guideline.

So why find one's axioms? Ultimately, the entire study of ethics boils down to one simple question: "What ought I do?". When faced with a dilemma, what should I choose? With the understanding of your beliefs, you can make a reasoned decision, consistent with your broader choices. If you exist in a society, then you will inevitably be forced to react to the actions of others, which, in of itself, is a forced action on your part. If you don't have some framework with which to judge the actions of others, then your ethical framework is utterly incomplete.

What bugs did you encounter? And yes, because we're using actual 3D models, there's a fixed set of models (right now, just under 300). Because the priority is ultra-realism, the current state-of-the-art for 3D model diffusion won't cut it (see OpenAI Point-e https://github.com/openai/point-e).

I'd suggest design complexity has scaled at a faster rate than the autorouting tech. In a closer-to-DC world years ago, optimal routing was nice but often not a requirement. In today's high-speed designs, proper routing can be the difference between working and not working, and there is a constant battle of constraints and trade-offs that humans can deal with more effectively. Attempting to constrain a complex design such that an auto-router can be successful can often result in an over-constrained problem which then makes the auto-router unsuccessful.

More focus on hybrid routing tools where there is some automation going on while a user routes things is typically were you get much more useful help in modern ECAD.

Faked all the time. Yes, people pay for a few negative/middling reviews sprinkled in for exactly this purpose. Generally, reviews follow a few common statistical distributions, and sellers pay to match those distributions.

There is literally no purpose in looking at any aggregation of amazon reviews. You can likely read an individual review and tell if it's real, but that's about it.

Anecdote: early in my career, I worked on a dev team that feared software development. They tried to push as much logic as possible into Microsoft SQL Server stored procedures (the average length was around 10 pages). Look at all the code that wasn’t written (because SQL doesn’t count), and less code means less bugs!

Where stored procedures wouldn’t do, they put these of the logic into SQL Server Integration Services, which provided a visual programming environment — think Scratch but for visually connecting ETL pipelines. But, invariably, the existing components wouldn’t suffice, so they’d stuff 100s of pages of C# into these components, which would be hidden away behind a little “code block” rectangle in the SSIS flow-diagram-esque interface. Zero code reuse, no way to run unit tests, no strong typing (beyond primitive types mapped 1-to-1 with the underlying SQL queries), no codification of invariants/preconditions/etc. But hey, that C# code hidden away doesn’t count as code, so look at all the code we avoided! And SSIS is from Microsoft, so by using something they bless then we must be on the right track! What’s that you said? Should we consider if this particular tool is appropriate for our particular needs? No way! If SSIS wasn’t the optimal tool for all problems, why would Microsoft develop and market this product?!

Anyway. I think the trap people fall into is this: Critical thinking is tiring, and many people are lazy. Putting such people in a position that they must actually weigh the merits of multiple options is a sure fire way to become deeply resented. Also, critical thinking makes you responsible for the consequences of your choices, whereas appealing to authority absolves you of any and all responsibility (the old saying “no one was ever fired for buying IBM”). So many attempt to reduce the amount code as much as possible. But the problem is that many worthwhile endeavors are inherently difficult, and require real, hard, critical thought to arrive at a solution, and for such things code often happens to be the best medium for reifying those thoughts into software solutions. Consequently, countless companies will choose to jump through no-code hoops, and unsurprisingly suffer the consequences. They won’t learn from it though: instead, those responsible will deflect with excuses like “well Zapier is the issue, you see”, or “imagine how much longer it would have taken if we actually coded the solution!”, or “that’s just the nature of software/tech”, etc.

I'm not claiming that companies shouldn't strive to raise value of business.

All I said was their activities are designed to boost stock prices, given the prevailing economic conditions. Stock prices may be related to business value or financial engineering or whatever. Doesn't matter how they get there. Their goal is to just keep stock prices rising.

With this in mind, if it ever comes to choosing between employees, customers, product, or anything versus the stock price, they will choose the stock price.

Oh, so that's how Gaussian Splats achieve view-dependence. Strongly reminds me of work on realtime relighting from a decade ago. IIRC some version of Halo used a couple of SH coefficients (either per pixel or per vertex) for some dynamic shadow / lighting thing.

Then, it devolved into figuring out a better set of decomposition functions (SH is Fourier Transform over a spherical coordinate basis). IIRC Haar wavelets worked well too. I'd guess that with modern approaches, a learned function would do even better.

> People choose with their wallets

You are very naive if you believe that. This can only work if people can meet the following requirements:

* People are rational and will always or at least statistically enough times will make the best choice.

* People are egotistic and will only do what's best for them, they don't consider the benefits of others.

* People know everything there is to know about nutrition, they can deduce the short term and long term effects of consuming any quantity of any chemical in any combination with any other chemicals based on precise knowledge of their gut functionality, the bacteria that lives in it etc.

* People should be able to predict the future, at least enough for them to be able to make rational choices about the effects of their current actions. In particular, they should be able to predict famines, invention or hybridization of species of various agricultural plants, developments in pharmaceutics helping them to combat various eating-related health problems.

People don't choose. They happen to eat super-processed foods, drive energy-inefficient cars, take out mortgages they cannot pay etc.

Finally, eating from a dumpster is even cheaper than eating super-processed foods (whose price can very much depend on the scale of manufacturing rather than anything else). For some reason most people choose not to eat from a dumpster...
I upgraded from a Pixel 6 Pro to a Pixel 7 Pro (paid for by my employer) when my screen got cracked. As near as I can tell it's basically identical, but with the lock / volume buttons shifted slightly - so my old case doesn't fit properly, and my muscle memory is screwed up. Lots of things generally work slightly worse for no particular reason - it does a worse job of tracking my bike rides with Google Fit.

Your dishwasher comparison is quite apt to me - I bought a house last year with a dishwasher that had been badly neglected. I got it cleaned out and it's generally working reasonably, but the heated dry cycle doesn't work properly. I'd like to get a new one, but I'm skeptical that it will actually work better.

The elephant in the room here is that so many of us rely on docker's registry, but who's paying for its upkeep and infra? Docker themselves?

It's not like Github which is owned by a trillion dollar company.

I don't know what Docker's revenue is but seems like a bigger risk than GitHub (which people often mention).

Unless this is a solved problem and Docker gets its registry infra for free or paid for by the Linux Foundation or something.

(Before anyone says, just pay for it, we don't REALLY rely on the registry, we as a company use AWS ECR, it's just that some of our build processes rely on it, so it's more like an open source ecosystem relying on it issue)
The main issue is the auto-router has no idea what any of the components are or what their requirements are. It just knows roughly physical dimensions and it's connected nets (traces between pins). These component requirements aren't something that can easily be "programmed" into the tool either - every component has it's own requirements, and they're not just electrical (such as needing certain amount of space around a component, or not placing next to other types of components, etc).

Without that knowledge, it's impossible to create a good auto-router/layout tool. The tools often just stack components as close together as physically allowed by the necessary traces.

For very trivial stuff, it might work ok. Anything else, no chance unfortunately.
Knowing the context and history definitely makes it more interesting and usually helps in learning too.

Remember that many of the decision-makers are academics with great publishing records. They succeeded at the game and don't want to rules to be changed.

Also, just practically, the journals help a lot in assessing candidates. Even in fields just adjacent to mine, I might trust an endorsement by a good journal over my own judgments. Often I know the work of the editors there and value their judgment. Chasing after highest impact factor journal publications has its problems, but I haven't seen better proposals.

PCBway is among the better board fabs in the world - certainly in terms of customer service, and very hard to beat in terms of value for money. The fact that they get you quote and acceptance in under an hour (during US working hours!) is incredible.

American board fabs could learn a thing or two from PCBway. They set a very high standard in terms of service. I’m very impressed by it.

I wouldn’t send a server motherboard or a radar frontend design to them (for a multitude of reasons - ITAR controls likely forefront among them) but most circuit designs aren’t in that league of board design. Most are two to six layers and 300 or fewer parts placed.

PCBway does pretty superlative work serving that niche.
