Why would you assume so? Embraer are a top 3 airliner manufacturer in the world, with better quality than even Boeing[1], an American darling. And as the article indicates, it was a UK-based company which is the origin of the fake parts.

1 - as far as we know publicly, Embraer didn't have multiple quality control issues around critical components in multiple different aircraft designs (737 Max aft pressure bulkheads, wings and lack of redundancy and training resulting in 300+ deaths; 787 general poor quality when coming from South Carolina).
So your lack of cynicism here is because you have knowledge of their internal processes and not because you are logically concluding companies would prefer to be vague over risking the need to backtrack later.

I say this because I have 0 faith in corporations. I believe corporate decision making is guided by (a) what they can get away with and (b) what minimizes their downside.
Julia Evans has an article pretty much about what you’re asking for!
I think looking at nix-shell for getting some things into PATH temporarily would also be quite useful, although Julia deliberately left it out of the article. It’s just as simple as running `nix-shell -p pkg1 pkg2` if that’s all you want to do with it!

Fun fact: Google did a Nexus 7 tablet with a 7" display.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexus_7_(2012)
Eh? I just replaced my four year old iPhone 11 Pro with a 15 Pro. The upgrade's nice, but it was a pure luxury purchase, the old phone was still running fine (mostly I wanted the 120hz display, and 5G). There was a time when a 4 year old smartphone was verging on unusable, but that's long past now.
I think it is. There are still millions of devices which either use their own distribution's provided Python package or some form of prepackaged container.
That isn’t any better. Mechanical parts have finite lifetimes for a reason. If a part is known to develop stress fractures after 5000 hours, it may have be required to replace that part after 3000 hours, even if there are no visible signs of wear at that point. If that part is then re-sold as new with a forged history, that’s a problem.
DoH makes the request look like a regular HTTPS request, therefore you'd need more sophisticated heuristics to block it.

If you contend that you can match the DoH SNI with a known DoH server and block that, fair enough. However, there's always another unknown DoH server you haven't blocked. Blocking DoT is trivial in comparison, because of its signature on the wire.

Here’s an example where ChatGPT wrote code that solves the problem and then makes a bunch of statements that are all true. I can’t imagine any of those statements were even in the training data.

I don’t see how you can say this is the same as drawing a card out of a deck. You should stop trying to get people to understand that. It’s not true.
I was about to point this out, too. This entire video is US-centric, which explains the dearth of passenger rail content. It completely skips many other types of passenger train. Many high-speed rail (Japanese Shinkansen, German ICE) and almost all rapid transit carriages are EMUs.

Double-decker cars are significantly more common in continental Europe. The TGV regularly runs Duplex[1] carriages on the LGV Sud-Est (Paris-Lyon) route, and Swiss Federal Railways has IC2000, IR Double Decker, and the LD Double Decker.

‘Fake’ in this instance isn’t manufacturer B illegitimately cloning manufacturer A’s parts. It’s basically a failure of QA/QC processes being papered over.

The computing equivalent would be where how CPUs which fail QA are binned to lower spec (e.g. using 6 cores not 8, or underclocked), except in this instance it’s then still sold as the top-end chip even if it’s unstable and crashes under load sometimes.
To be fair, there's active research on this under the "interpretability" label. It's not out of hand impossible that there's a free "racism" neuron that we can just bias. Though we better be pretty sure what exactly a neuron measures before we patch it.
Instead of relying on npm and maven and other language specific tooling, maybe we could rely on Nix to do the package management instead? NPM, Cargo, maven, whatever Python people think is good this Thursday, Go's reluctant dependency manager are all solving the same problems. And every single one of them could do a better job.
Fair point. A car wouldn't be nearly as useful on a small, densely populated island like Singapore as it is in the US.

I was just responding to a comment talking about every country.
There are only two things necessary for something to be called Artificial Intelligence and it's pretty obvious what those things are.

There is no evidence, basically none whatsoever that logic can model general intelligence, narrow real world intelligence or that general "perfect logical reasoning" is a thing that actually exists in the real world in real world relationships. None.

No animal we've observed does it. Humans certainly don't do it. The only realm this idea actually seems to work is Fiction. And this was not like for a lack of trying. Some of the greatest minds worked on this for decades and some people still don't seem to get it. Logic doesn't scale to all reality. It just breaks. Anything other than clear definitions and unambiguous axioms and it falls apart.

I'm not saying Logic wasn't useful or that the things it did produce that worked shouldn't be called AI but the idea that you shouldn't call LLMs AI because of some hoped scenario that never seemed to leave the realm of fiction is just extremely silly.

In this instance, Logic systems are that guy in the stands yelling that he could've made the shot, while he's not even on the field.
I have to say it makes sense to me that the binaries would be built from the source tarballs rather than git, seems a bit odd that you'd have separate pipelines and binaries that are produced from a (slightly) different source.

Interesting, finally I have an idea of why my phones have always gotten slower over time. Is there a way to measure error rates and/or average storage latency on my (Android) phone somehow?
I don't disagree with this response. It's actually a good one. But I think we need to be really aware of the trade-offs here. My problem is that people use these metrics as if they are hard proof of competence. But the truth is you have to pick your noise: nepotism or lazy evaluation. Either way, you aren't getting rid of noise.

I actually think scale is part of the problem here. In small communities there is more natural nuance and correction as there's high accountability. But with scale accountability often disappear as you disappear into the crowd. And you'll always be able to point at winners and losers to whichever noise you favor. The problem is we're not looking at things holistically and ensuring that our metrics are aligned with our desired outcomes. Instead we often pick a metric because it reasonably looks like it should align with the desired outcome (not proven, just intuited) and then just tell anyone that disagrees that it is obvious instead of acknowledging the downsides. Every metric has limitations. Ignoring them is the problem.
Ah, yes, I love it when I need to wait minutes to install a package because brew needs to do some other thing.
In Germany about 20 years ago people were still doing dial-up using a broadband (DSL) modem. The provider wouldn't give you a routing device but only a bare-bones giant modem. When still living with my parents I remember rolling off an ethernet cable across the apartment every night connecting my PC with the broadband modem and then invoking a bash script initiating a PPPoE (point-to-point over ethernet) dial up connection to the service provider. That was before WiFi and even before home routers were a thing. Probably back until 2002 or 2003.

Edit: This is how my first DSL modem (without routing facility) looked like: https://www.teltarif.de/arch/2009/kw27/10jahredsl-rueckblick...
Most oral exams I've been to have been either a) talk about a report you've written, or b) draw 1 of x (say 8) subjects that have been covered throughout the year, and do a presentation on it, usually with 20-30 minutes preparation. All subjects have of course been published at least 2 weeks prior to the exam.

So I don't see a problem with telling "what to expect", but I do see a problem with 1 professor and one censor examining 300 students for for 30 minutes each.
> I’m fine with for example cooking lobsters or prawns and other seafood that needs to be basically cooked alive

Just want to point out here: No, they don't need to be cooked alive. The human way to cook lobster is to run a knife through its head first. But most people don't have the stomach for this and choose to believe that boiling it alive is more humane.

Honestly the way the models are improving I don’t see a ton of “product” work needed anymore. Any UI is worse than a good AI assistant that I can chat/talk to. Why do I need your forms and data rendering if the AI assistant is smart enough to figure it out on its own?

I am a lot more pessimistic about the startup scene in this area.

Look how ChatGPT can teach languages[1], good luck building an AI powered language learning app…

It gets worse for startups because Google and OpenAI have a ton more context about me. For example in the language learning conversation Google can refer to my spoken samples from other places to improve the experience. And yet, no PM at Google needs to think of this, they only need to hook up the data and throw more compute at their models.

The foreground processes will always get scheduled ahead of the background process, and be able steal its evicted pages from the Standby list, thus reducing their own need for paging to external media.

If all you care about is getting your updater to complete quicker, you should not be using the background mode, but ideally the Chrome updater would run in the background without affecting the performance of the foreground applications. Allowing for working set peaks, no matter how short, will fail to achieve that on systems experiencing memory pressure.

This is not a replacement for a SPOT device. It's a backup. You might need to move around reportedly, point it very carefully to find a satellite, coverage isn't great, even minimal tree cover is a problem, etc. Plenty of cases where a SPOT device would be a life saver and where this would not.

For such a low-volume company, the prices are very ok! Still expensive for budget-constrained buyers of course, but not more than others in their segment. The ability to order without RAM or SSD makes up for any difference as well, buying those aftermarket is a really good deal.

The only ridiculous thing about framework's pricing are the CPU tier upgrades - almost 400 bucks to go from the ryzen 5 to the ryzen 7 is ridiculous.

> I agree that C is an improvement over H, for different reasons from the author. Here's why: From a public comms standpoint, the big problem with saying "hallucinate" is that it leads to misconceptions, because people think they know what "hallucinate" means, and may anthropomorphize their pop psych grasp of H onto the LLM.

No.

Firstly its just using a far more obscure term, moreover its common translation is "honest lies" which is an oxymoron.

Hallucinate is an accessible term that simply describes the outcome of what the user sees.

if you want a better term diving deep into obscure psych language is not the right way, it just confers an air of fanciness to what is either a feature, or a massive drawback of LLMs (depending on context)

Better words might be: flights of fancy, bullshit, imagined, illusion, rubbish, noise.
No, killing a pig to eat it is much more valuable than killing 25 pigs in your experimental trial because you accidentally used the wrong implant so you completely ruined your experiment and learned absolutely nothing while killing them.

To be fair, a car is widely expected to last 12 years or longer, has relatively simple software and computer systems, and has no (or limited) access to your personal data. They are also typically a much larger investment.

The phone on the other hand is connected to every facet of your life and has a software stack that absolutely contains security flaws waiting to be found and exploited.

Apple has always worked to keep devices secure longer, at least up until now having the best long term support. My favorite part of the Pixel 8 is that Google is attempting to match and exceed what Apple's done so far.

Phone performance and features are definitely not changing fast enough for older devices to no longer be useful, even for affluent audiences. I hope support windows continue to get longer so that folks who must use or choose to use older devices can remain secure.

Xilinx and Altera fundamentally do the same thing to an almost silly extent. There are a handful of fundamental building blocks that make up an FPGA, and in every case Xilinx's implementation differs from Altera, but in trivial ways. Altera have an Adaptive Logic module whereas Xilinx have a Configurable Logic Block. They're really just look up tables.

So where the rubber meets the road is how good the tooling is and how well they execute on their tapeout. Xilinx has been much better executing their plans since Intel bought Altera.
> I see no advantage to sharing the data in the cloud, vs just storing
> it locally in your phone.

You have to look at this from the perspective of the reliability and integrity of digital evidence.

If the data is stored locally it could be argued that it's possible that you have tampered with it, particularly since you possess the skill set necessary to do so. On the other hand, if it is stored on the cloud, it's likely that you won't have the level of access required to tamper with the data, and that there will be an auditable transaction history with information about the identity of anybody that made changes. Google will be able to provide information to the court on the level of security that applies to the data -- in fact, data from Google services is already known to be legally admissable assuming it passes relevance, reliability and integrity tests.

Of course, you might be able to create something similar locally, but it's more complicated and untested: you'd need to be able to prove that you don't have the ability to retroactively amend the data (write access, encryption keys, etc).

I agree that it would be nicer if: the digital evidence wasn't accessible by others and was also reliable and with integrity protection. Maybe an option would be to encrypt it with your public key and write it into a public blockchain?
It can though. Some people have different DOB on different identity documents.

One of the proposed ideas for nuclear rocket propulsion would contain a fissioning gas cloud inside a fused-silica glass blub. At a temperature of several thousand degrees (5,000 - 20,000 K), incandescent light escapes the glass, and gets absorbed by the hydrogen propellant (with bits of solid dust flowing through it as an opacifier). That's one-half of your idea: there's no photovoltaic component, but it does examine the "nuclear fission reactor as an optical light source" half.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_lightbulb

https://sci-hub.se/10.2514/6.1991-3512 (pdf) ("Summary of nuclear light bulb development status" (1991))

excerpt:

- "The gas core Nuclear Light Bulb (NLB) propulsion system could provide both the desired thrust and specific impulse. Initial gas core nuclear rocket (GCNR) investigations started in the 1950s when two somewhat different concepts emerged; an open-cycle GCNR and a closed-cycle GCNR (named the Nuclear Light Bulb). The open cycle configuration (Fig. 1) isolates hot fissioning gas from the chamber walls by flowing cooler propellant around the hot gas. Although some nuclear fuel will diffuse into the propellant and exhaust into space, the theoretical amount was considered too small to be of consequence. NASA-Lewis pursued the open cycle by both analysis and laboratory experiments from the ’50s through the early ‘70s.’"

- "At the same time, United Technologies Research Center, then United Aircraft Research Laboratory, explored the closed cycle NLB concept (Fig. 2).[2,3] Hot fissioning fuel in a gaseous state is confined within a transparent wall of fused silica by a vortex of tangentially injected buffer gas that is also transparent to thermal radiation. Hydrogen propellant, seeded with micron-size tungsten particles to absorb the thermal radiation from the hot fuel, flows axially outside the fused silica wall and is exhausted through thrust nozzles. Complete fuel containment requires continuous withdrawal of a small fraction of the mixture of fuel and buffer gas for reprocessing and reinjection into the vortex flow."

Slightly more benignly, the links seem to trigger a redirect notice and open in a new tab, which seems like good behavior for inside the Google docs editor. I can’t know for sure, but there is probably also tracking in there. What else would an opaque string of text in the query params be for?

I assume the link rewrites come from this, and weren’t
added just for the exported version. It is disappointing it isn’t stripped out, but I’m guessing it’s just such a corner case no one is paying attention on the team. Also, if it does contain tracking, we dont know how/when that gets updated - eg is it vestigial behavior or was it updated in export, do
unique users get unique tracking numbers when exporting the same doc?
