Extremism is relative to where you are on the political spectrum. That's why far right people call even the most modest social program 'communism' and why the far left would call even minor criticism of a social program as 'fascist'.

You haven't seen extremism in from those media sources because relative to your perspective, they aren't.
AI chatbot custom trained on the customers' data would be the next logical step in this. But at this stage I am more inclined to testing the water. Shipping out something quick and then build it up from there as and when I successfully onboard paying customers. Do not want to spend weeks building a product and then be the only one using it. Thought I would gauze the interest first.

The problem with most PMs is that they are not doing boots-on-the-ground work. A good PM should be constantly bridging the gap between engineering and the user.

1. Map the product or idea being built to those who will use it. Present it, get users feelings on it, if it is viable and needed. Throughout development, gather continuous feedback by demoing, shadowing, and adapting to new feedback. Plan and execute a launch, watch for snags, provide support and solutions to users.

2. Communicate gathered feedback to engineering, and do so with an understanding of where the project is engineering-wise, where it is going, what needs to change. Give engineering the "why. Convey the priority of everything the project needs vs what it has and what is being worked on.

Repeat this feedback loop.

But most of them seem to think they can operate entirely in document-land and just crank out roadmap docs and keep stakeholder alignment via endless check-ins and nagging. They are doing a "project manager" job instead.
>I will note that I have Windows Update completely blocked and disabled via Group Policy, which means my system settings never get reset under the guise of "updates" every month unlike most people's setups. In fact, I'm still running 21H2, NT kernel version 10.0.22000.1281.

What is your plan here? Do you manually update after some time, or do you plan on running that version until you reinstall Windows 11? Do you reinstall with an updated ISO?
It's not that Simple. Request-response isn't a factor to choose ES or ED architectures on.

You can have request-response, inline, blocking, cycles with ES or ED. And you can have async without ES or ED just fine too (e.g. workers, queues, actors, multithreaded etc)
If I do my math correctly, the mass of the structure should be dominated by the surface, if it is constructed mostly hollow. There will be plenty of room to add individual rooms to play with inside.

The mass of the LEGO would be on the order of 113 tons assuming you build the surface out of 8x16 base plates. This is comfortably within range of a single Starship payload. It is much tougher to say how long LEGO would take to manufacture them, but I think it is safe to say that they could spin up additional manufacturing capacity for such an important national project.

It should pay for itself - you'd have a very long line of LEGO nerds buying tickets to help assemble it.

The only attack surface I care about are web browsers thanks to JavaShit becoming a practical necessity, but fortunately those are much simpler to update compared to an entire operating system. Even Edge keeps itself updated since it handles its updates separately from Windows Update.

Everyone's threat models are different, mine simply doesn't care about most system-level vulnerabilities. I have had far more of my time and nerves wasted in the past by Windows Update compared to the supposed threats those updates protect against; the cure is worse than the disease.

I operated nuclear reactors for 6 years, I am well aware of what is required. Their being nearly regulated out of existence has nothing to do with reactor safety nor environmental protection, youve been had by the fossile fuel industry.
Great timing with DocuSign exploring a sale.
That’s the general answer, and I agree with it.

I think it doesn’t work well in practice for a regulated/licensed trade (with enforced minimum apprenticeship times) when trying to do a temporary lump of conversion work (retiring working fuel boilers and replacing with heat pumps faster than would otherwise happen naturally).

As a mechanical engineer and hard-core DIYer, I can’t legally do it myself, nor get the local rebates if I do a pirate install, nor start a company to compete against the HVAC incumbents without hiring from the same limited pool of licensed HVAC techs those companies have.

Competition might work as an answer over a long period of time (with stable incentive programs).
> Access to basic utilities is provided, but uptime is not 100% and never will be.

The issue in Texas isn't that power was out for a few hours, the issue is it was out for several days. This should be unacceptable and it is absolutely reasonable to expect a rich, developed nation to guarantee this does not happen. Especially in freak weather events that are going to increase in frequency in the future due to climate change.

Even within a neoliberal country it's entirely within the realms of the government to force corporations that maintain infrastructure to comply with basic service guarantees or at least threaten to nationalize the business, you can privatize it later again. This is critical infrastructure. I know people dying doesn't matter to libs, but this cost other corporations in Texas a lot of money too. How can you have a free market where the basic infrastructure is this unreliable.

These "how it's pronounced" thing are funny. It's pronounced how it's written, because 99.999% of people won't bother to figure out what the correct, non-written pronunciation is. If you can't pronounce it, it's an abbreviation and it's not meant to be pronounced. It's like The RZA. I call him R.Z.A not Riza cause that ain't how that shit is written. If you wanna be called Riza, call yourself Riza, don't make me fill in the blanks or extrapolate, that's not how reading works.
Politics in this type of context is fighting to the death over a single pie versus working together to bake a second pie. Some of this is necessary but when you only do this a company will not grow except through luck.
That's the very assumption I want to stay away from. Hence not launching a full-blown product, but a barebone version of it. I want to see which type of customers are most drawn to it, and which ones off them use it the most.

Yes, no current users and no churn data is a bummer, but since I am just starting this, that's pretty much the hand that's dealt to me.

> Texas has a great system under normal conditions that has incentivized a ton of solar and Panhandle wind, but it is not built for severe conditions.

I don’t know that it’s “great” for anyone except the guys in the energy market who see the upside from volatility. The rates I see right now are higher than what my local utility charges, about on par with our all-renewable option, and we have no downside scenario where the prices skyrocket or the power goes out with no accountability. I do appreciate the amount of wind power (and hope the politicians don’t stymie that industry) but it doesn’t appear to be especially unique in that growth.

I think the problem with these two roles is actually the confusion about what each is. Usually the issue is a "product" manager not doing the ideating, not doing research, not enough advocating about what user needs or what the product should be. Instead they do too much "project" management which amounts to gantt charts, check-ins, and nagging about status.

I have seen that in all sizes and maturities of company that people view these roles as interchangeable and they are not.
Support pages exist. Some businesses use documentation, faqs. Some use systems like intercom. Some simply leave an email up there for customers to reach out at.

But yeah, the problem seems to be real and painful enough.

I mean this is certainly because it's Texas, I get power outages for multiple days every year. As does most countries where it snows. Some years I get power outages for multiple days every month.

I believe the issue is because Texas thinks it does not snow so they avoid any emergency procedures for snow. Well it does now, so they should prepare for that, as unlikely as it is.

I don't see why it should feel bothersome.

To ask what came before the first moment is to apply a concept, time, where it no longer applies.

Similarly, suppose you knew everything. No matter what it was, how much information it was, you'd still be able to ask, "What's beyond that?" But being able to form those words doesn't imply the question means anything.
One of my computers has Windows 10 (I know it is getting close to end of support... in theory, they will support it since lots of companies still sit on it).

Microsoft still tries to add back Edge as the default browser after every patch. They always reset your setting silently (how is this shit even legal?)

Also IMHO nowadays they are pushing updates much more often and those constant updates slow down the computer to a crawl - they do this because they try to force you to upgrade. Seriously the amount of updates nowadays is incredible - and as an user you simply cannot disable windows update due to multiple dark patterns (e.g. windows ignoring the settings in the windows update menu... + you you cannot disable the service since there is another service that turns it on).
Windows keeps downloading patches when you do something else - every few days the computet becomes unusable and requires a restart.

To add insult to in injury: windows 11 requires computers with this new bios, so even if you gave up and wanted to pay microsoft their extortion money... you cant, since the new Windows wont work on your older computer.

Seriously due to updates every few days random services take 10% of processor time, or updates eat all internet bandwith.. even when every windows update is turned off.

The only solution is to use hard to audit programs from the internet that can disable updates completly. [Downloading such things is nor very safe... so I dont do it]

Yes I scanned the computer for trojans - its the updates that make it slow.

My old machine used to play doom and browse websites randomly slows down every few days because they use a dark pattern of patches that try to convince you to throw away a perfectly fine computer and buy windows 11. Which wont even work.

So I wonder what is a safe way to disable windows updates? It makes the computer behave normally (e.g
.if it has no connection for 3 weeks of behaves ok for 3 weeks. Connect to inetenet - updates...)

Not on iOS. On macOS, I personally think WizardLM 13B v1.2 is a very strong model and keep hearing good things about it from users on our discord and in support emails. Now that there's OmniQuant support for Mixtral models[1], I'm plan to add support for Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1 in the next version of the macOS app, which in my tests, looks like a very good all purpose model that's also pretty good at coding. It's pretty memory hungry (~41GB of RAM), but that's the price to pay for an uncompromising implementation. Existing quantized implementations quantize the MoE gates, leading to a significant drop in perplexity when compared with results from fp16 inference.
