Hmm the paint issues are not really normal IMO. I don't like Qatar in general (nor their airways) but paint that strips that much is definitely substandard and could cause hazards. A rough body surface can increase drag a lot, flecks of paint can be ingested and build up in the engines or other moving parts (e.g. flap/slat actuators). It could clog sensors leading to other failures (most airplane crashes are a combination of many factors). But in general it's just a very bad thing for a part of a plane to be in a state it was not designed nor tested to be in.

I've been a pilot and I would not be happy flying a plane in that state.

Don't forget even NASA has said things were perfectly safe when they were not, leading to two tragic fatal accidents. Boeing insisted MCAS was totally safe until the second mass fatality. I don't buy that stuff. You don't fly a plane in such a state.

Why did your mind immediately jump to 'worthless'?

Plenty of things in this world have some small value but are not noteworthy. In fact most conversations in daily life fall into that category.
Yes, that's exactly my point! Back in 1945, nuclear physics was a well established science with actual experimental results. By contrast, 100% of the people making wild claims about AI risks are worthless scammers and grifters with no scientific backing. A total clown show.
The whole review sounds rather nitpicky and arbitrary to me, but I don't see anything that would warrant a ban by my (Dutch) standards. Perhaps in a country like China this level of directly voiced criticism is probably an issue when directed at The Party, but elsewhere in the world?

While disagreeing with at least half the critique (like pretending it's "never happened across 600 flights" (something to be proud of!) to run out of a certain meal type), the one thing I want to call out is his expectation that any crew is happy to see him personally and act somewhat like how servants are described to act in medieval novels (one of many examples from the video: "back in the day, I loved the eagerness [of Qatar Air's] staff"). I've heard it's a USA thing to require waiters/waitresses to smile literally the whole shift no matter what they're actually feeling as well as to have greeters at supermarket entrances. Checking Wikipedia, he grew up in Germany, so I'm not quite sure where this comes from but this is what stood out to me as the most unreasonable and useless expectation when they're doing their job perfectly well

Edit: as this commenter on the video also said

> Can we also talk about why the toilets are messy when grown adults are the ones flying. It is unfair for passengers to mess up toilets and expect another human being to clean up your filth after you. [...] The crew are not slaves so please treat them with dignity.
No, what you and OP are noticing is the overlap of the UV filtering and near UV visible range with your lenses.
The hardware supports 8 bit, but the chosen software (vLLM) does not. The reason AMD chose to do the comparison with vLLM is that it is by far the most used inference library. So for now at least the market disagrees with you on the relative merits of 8 vs 16 bit processing.

In any case, if the comparison was being done in 8 bit, the relative performance between the cards should be roughly similar as it is with 16 bit.
>If you have five different goals and only need to hit three of them, you're incentivized to focus all efforts on the three easiest ones, and ignore the other two entirely.

That assumes that the three "easiest" goals have known, straightforward, guaranteed ways of attaining them. Naturally there will be some uncertainty, some extrinsic factors, some good and bad luck that will get in that way of any of the goals, so ignoring two goals entirely all year risks that you catch some bad luck on one of your 3 "easiest" goals and don't end up hitting all of them.

>Or if you only need to hit 80% of each, to go for all low-hanging fruit until hitting 80%, then shift focus.

Does that sound so bad, if it's by design?

I'm going to take the opposite position, people aren't stupid.

Jokes, parody, and satire don't exist in an amoral/apolitical sphere and by necessity must have non-joke, non-parody, and/or non-satirical elements to be funny (i.e. the grain of truth). People aren't stupid -- they get the joke, recognize the real message being conveyed and are mad because that real message is shitty. "It's just a joke" isn't a defense against that.

The wanna-bee conservative onion has a wealth of examples if you want them. This is their current hero image on their front page https://www.amazon.com/Babylon-Bee-Guide-Gender-Guides/dp/16.... Perfect example -- it's well within the realm to make jokes about this topic, the queer side of the internet is overflowing with them. But while this is absolutely satire the real message underpinning is honestly pretty mean and people recognize that. One of the sections is "How can I mold the world to fit my Perverted Delusions?" which is a joke on the surface but the real content is just rehashing the trans people are mentally ill, trans women are sexual deviants lines which at the same level of "comedy" as watermelon and fried chicken jokes.
The PR workflow is already overkill for about 90% of contributors and not what Git was designed for, anyway, so you can just ditch it.

Trucking is not bad, if you could do it good enough (I mean health reasons, not all people capable, for example many truck drivers I know, have issues with alcohol, because too much stress on roads).

But I think, even if AI grow will be moderate from now, we could not avoid autonomous trucks (4 level of autopilot, as defined in wikipedia) in nearest 5 years, and I think, in 2030s, autonomous trucks will literally eat people jobs.

I think, you will have extremely more chances, if you could become entrepreneur (now I mean, not by health but if you like this type of work). - Management, and decision making is very high valued now, and if you somewhere could run your own business, is even better.

Any way, in real life, people are not equal - choose way, where your weakness is minimal issue (or just not significant), but where your strengths will be total win.

Example, I also have some autistic issues. Once I have made fine print dump of 1200+ win32 functions (it is easy to intercept, but all of them have tricky interface with not big, but not simple and not straightforward structures, so I have looked in docs and on real data and to figure out, how to dump real data, not dynamic pointers to nowhere).

Written French grammar is particularly good at expressing nuances due to the expression of the variety of "times" and tenses.

J'aimais and j'aimai (imparfait and passé simple) are both past but

the first expresses "I loved (duration, action being performed in the past)" and the latter "I loved (instant, action completed)".

Je finissais (imparfait) = I was completing (some stuff), je finis (passé simple) = I completed.

Also

Je marcherais (conditionnel présent) = I would walk, (possible)

Je marcherai (futur) = I will walk (true)

(Maybe the ability to express a nuance discreetly is a sort of elegance)

You could say " this is spaghetti code" but
je marche, je marchai, je marchais, je marcherai, je marcherais respects some kind of nearly mathematical rules that allows me to feel situations.

March - e

March - ai

March - ais

Marcher - ai

Marcher - ais

J'ai marché, j'avais marché, j'eus marché, j'aurais marché, j'aurai marché express a lot of different things based on the different forms of "to have".

English has this kind of complexity too :
I have walked, I had walked, I did walk, I will walk, I will have walked, I did have walked...

I am not arguing about the possibility of nuances here but rather about the means by which they are expressed, of course.

I think air travel is a privilege, not a right.

If some idiot ends up blacklisted by enough airlines that air travel becomes impractical for them, tough shit. He can still travel by land or sea, and those methods of travel are also considered privileges.

Noone is entitled to means of travel beyond their own two feet, or a practical equivalent for the handicapped, in spaces they have a right to access.
It was never about building sustainable businesses or even solving a problem or gap in the market. The only "problem" that needs solving is that someone wants to have an all expenses paid "startup founder" lifestyle for a few years, and some engineers want to build & tend to a playground where complexity is the core feature.

Doing so on your own dime (or a bank loan) is stupid. Doing so on the VC's dime is smart because you can not only walk off scot-free when the whole thing inevitably WeWorks into the ground, but can start over again in a different vertical.
> several people died.

I was honestly at first reading what you said thinking "oh really, I didn't know that. I need to look into this, sounds like it was way worse than portrayed" until you said that. Somebody having a stroke is not the same thing as someone being beaten to death or shot. Even saying "several people died" demonstrates a disingenuous disposition, you have to deliberately avoid going into detail to make your point. The only person that died as a result of the actions there was a woman named Ashley Babbit who was shot by US capitol police.

Given that, I ask you, with all these firearms and pipe bombs and a real attempt at insurrection, how come nobody fired or detonated them?
The legal question is discussed in the fine article.

> Disney has also started using this logo before some of its films.

> If you make your own Mickey cartoon, can Disney use trademark law to interfere? Trademark law is all about preventing consumer confusion – and not about getting in the way of creativity – so it depends on whether people are likely to be misled about the source of your cartoon. As long as no one thinks it is a Disney joint, there should not be a trademark problem.
Modern people, especially upper and upper middle class people, have a distinct tendancy to think of nations as just glorified place labels because of their position of privilege. They think they're entitled to go places with entirely different histories and cultures without adapting their behavior at all. I may not agree with the laws in question but there's a certain degree of poetic satisfaction when someone whose sum total of international travel research was an Instagram post gets a rude awakening.

Nice, the original video didn't even reach me before Qatar Airlines decided to go on a war with this YouTuber and did crazy things like firing the flight crew and banning the guy.

I don't disagree Gen-X has had part of that, as one myself. I think it's a matter of scale.
I believe that simply registering for an API key on the AI Horde website and ensuring you use that jumps you up past a ton of the queue work.

ArtBot visitors generate about 1,100 images an hour and it has only accounted for about 10% of the total traffic the AI Horde is using at any given time (I believe most people are interacting with the AI Horde through Discord chat bots or Telegram).
> which is essentially rape

That's a bit hyperbolic, don't you think?

It's invasive and wrong (from western eyes anyway) for sure. But "we're inspecting viable suspects genitals due to a crime" is not worse than "we're inspecting random peoples genitals", which is the point that was being made.

If an assault took place and witnesses saw a short asian woman, you'd expect the lineup to be of short asian women, not tall black men.

>The Lion King draws from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Biblical stories, and possibly an epic poem about the founder of the Mali Empire.[3]

I was curious so I researched some more. The story of the founding of the Mali Empire is often told through the epic of Sundiata - born frail and unable to walk, Sundiata faced scorn from his half-brothers in the Mandinka kingdom. Guided by a prophetic destiny, Sundiata and his mother were exiled after the death of his father. During his exile, Sundiata transformed into a formidable leader, forming alliances and gathering supporters. He returned to the kingdom, defeated the oppressive forces and established the Mali Empire
And likely the current collapse as well.

Would the same not equally well apply to the company being sued? That they would have to dig up evidence as to why they have decided to deny service. Not arguing that suing a corporation is a pleasant and easy experience though.
It's a pet peeve of mine that C people seem to think that 0 isn't a number. Or that 0 (or -1) mean infinity. (Like a timeout of 0 meaning an infinite timeout, instead of failing immediately.)

I guess it's mostly a consequence of C having such poor support for data types.

For a low-level allocator interface this might be an acceptable compromise, but C people also tend to use this kind of mangling when it's not warranted.

For the first idea: Yes, but both of those would have to interpret the format string and determine the character lengths of the arguments which is duplicated work. I'd imagine its a large portion of the work. I'm not convinced its any more efficient than snprintf.

The second idea is neat though... it could return an extra argument which is a pointer to the first part of the format string that wasn't printed

Its more nuanced than this. Sometimes pure 8 bit inference (without any quantization tricks) reduces llm performance enough to impact certain tasks like retrieval.

Its also important to distinguish 8 bit compute from the actual quantization scheme. vLLM in fact supports 4 bit AWQ, but the computation is not done in 4 bits on the GPU, and it wouldn't even be close to pure 4 bit inference even if the hardware and vLLM supported that.
Considering the fact that he lifted the concept of the unconscious mind from Eduard von Hartmann, I’d say it’s just desserts. Maybe this time around the actual originator of the idea will get credit, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Ive only witnessed this phenomenon a few times in my life. One of them was a few years ago when the word quadcopter, which had been in common use for 10+ years already, was replaced entirely with the word "drone" over a single december. At the time the word was obviously worse, but over the next few years it became the de facto term, and now mentally for me its the right concept hash.

We may see the original term for hallucination get lost. The pressure on it to have two meanings will break at some point.

By low Middle Eastern standards, not really. For example, Qatar hasn't been caught dismembering journalists with a bone saw (Saudi) or abducting wayward princesses from international waters (UAE).

One plus in Qatar's column: they fund Al Jazeera, which has cast a lot of light on a lot of underreported issues in the region and around the world, although Qatar itself gets a free pass.
Fascism was in large part a reaction against communism and socialism, which were the dominant alternative at the time. Many people who had a lot to lose from the rise of the worker's movement, the Weimar Republic, the SDP, etc. very "rationally" supported the Nazi party. Look up e.g. Fritz Thyssen. Similar story in Italy, and very explicitly strongly so in Spain.

My point isn't that fascism is a good or reasonable ideology. But that many people's reasons for supporting it weren't just emotional. Also that their support for it wasn't necessarily or primarily racial in origin, but based in strong anti-communist, nationalist beliefs, instead.
