The value of a ML model for this is fairly low, though. An expert model, with fuzzy matching if needed, is going to be far more reliable for "standard" parts.

The only value of a "generative" model would be for "creating models of new/custom parts", but that's what you explicitely say it isn't for...

This ML/AI fad is looking more and more like the blockchain fad: redoing exactly what we already know how to do with boring technologies, but repackadged in a shinier coat hiding worse results, and the unproven promise of just-around-the-corner progress to suck in investors.
From a practical perspective, they probably should "match" what black market values these exploits, and I surely wish they can give much higher bounties in general (and they for sure can afford!), but I don't think they ethnically need to (so it's not an insult in my view).

Turning these exploits/vulnerabilities to black market is not only immoral but also highly illegal, so the "value" is inflated due to these "risk" factors. You can't really expect the same from the affected company themselves.

It's like saying if you found a lost item and you ask a large sum from the owner when you return it, because "I can get much more if I choose to just sell it on the street".
I and my sibling were homeschooled, decades ago, and it was stellar. They have a child now and are planning to homeschool. It is with this success story background and in a personally rose-colored context that I would like to say: This piece's framing introduces conspiratorial thinking (teachers' unions' machinations!) and ideological precommitments into a topic that deserves to be taken seriously and evaluated empirically. There is a lot wrong with a lot of homeschooling as it exists today, and the gaps in our understanding should trouble anyone looking at this issue with the next generation's interest in mind. If you're curious about this topic, I'd recommend https://responsiblehomeschooling.org/ for the resources it collects and its general stance – informed by a lot of experiences of homeschooled alumni.

For the accounting nerds out there:

We've got an asset account, and a couple of expense accounts, depreciation and maintenance. So the depreciation transactions are from some kind of assessment of the asset's value over the full lifetime (read: will anyone still use this Android app in 10 years?) while the maintenance transactions are from the actual costs to keep the asset operational.

Depreciation isn't really about quality or value, rather lifetime expectation. As a consumer buying a cheap vacuum cleaner you are knowingly buying a product that depreciates at a higher rate. You can maintain that vacuum cleaner for a lifetime if you wish but those are separate expenses.

So in terms of software, if you should be rushing something out the door in order to try and find product-market fit, do so with the knowledge that you are creating an asset with a shortened expected lifetime, ie, that depreciates at a higher rate. As you transition from prototype to a more robust system you adjust the rate the depreciation to match.

You can choose to keep maintaining the prototype but the costs of doing so are probably more than the enhancement costs that are offset by increased capitalization. But again, do you expect anyone to be using your Android app in 10 years?

The accounting practices in software are much different than thinking about a widget factory so I do get the sense we could using some innovation in the field.
So superficial home schooling vs ruined public schools.

What is more likely to be fixed especially when home schooling rates rise. So where should public attention be on?

>Those 6 countries added up equal about the population of the US,

Yes, that's exactly the point: to compare the US with a similarly sized block of nations.

And from that we can conclude that this block of nations can service universal healthcare to 330 million people without additional private healthcare insurance.

So for less TAX money than the US they get universal healthcare for the same amount of people, while US taxpayers pay more but still have to buy insurance on top of what the government spends on healthcare.

All of those things are better done in writing so that:

- There’s a record of decisions and the thought process behind them

- When asked for input I can take time to consider a response and therefore give a higher quality reply

- I can refer back to conversations or search them when I inevitably forget some detail

- I don’t miss key information because I was out sick or had to take a bathroom break

- There’s a paper trail you can copy/paste when there’s a disagreement in understanding

- In meetings it can be frustrating to try to get a word in: there are often too many people or just one really chatty bastard who won’t stop

- It’s easier to scroll past chatter about weekend plans and sports than it is to sit through it in a meeting

The problem with meeting notes is they only reflect one person’s understanding, and often the person taking notes only has half an understanding anyway. Meeting notes are like JPEG compression set to the lowest possible quality.

I work with a team that spans +9h and +16h from me and it’s great because there are few meetings and lots of written communication. It’s very easy to search past communications to find old materials or decisions, and that’s not just hypothetical: I do it ALL the time.

We’ll use meetings, but for more tactical purposes: troubleshooting a specific problem, or doing a demo of some feature (although even then I would suggest demos are better as a recorded video).

Most objections are really something like “wah, I don’t want to read or write, it’s too haaaard.” Reading and writing were some of the earliest inventions in human civilization and everyone learns them starting in pre-school. It’s a low bar for a grown professional.

Always sad to see a small player swallowed up by Cisco.

As someone who had the unfortunate experience of going through a Cisco acquisition, there's a familiar pattern.

You can expect that their product roadmap will be torn to shreds as Cisco VPs start streaming in to demand poorly designed integration projects with Cisco's terrible platforms to pad their own resumes. Talent drain ensues as Cisco's low bar for hiring starts to take effect.

The product will keep selling, since Cisco's MO is to leverage its massive sales machine to boost revenue, but there will be little concern for the actual tech itself going forward.

How much was sent to Ukraine in cash, exactly? And how much of that was taken away from housing budgets?

From what I heard, the vast majority of what was sent to Ukraine was military surplus.

(That's of course ignoring some pretty serious points you're making more or less implicitly, eg that Americans are suffering in a way comparable to "being shelled by Russians" or that the help is send to encourage their "being crooked" and not, you know, fight back against invading Russians. And you're also basically brushing off the part where the help came in with strings attached in terms of fighting corruption.)

First sentence in the article:

later it says

Of course we do. But I don't think pulling kids out of public schools and then demanding that your tax money be diverted away from public schools because you aren't using them is going to fix them.

It does sound like a good plan to promote if your goal is to dismantle the public education system though.
Both authors are somewhat wrong, and both authors are somewhat talking about different things (and thus talking past each other).

Gavin here is talking about the development of system software, where the requirements are perfectly clear, rarely change (unless somehow the underlying system changes), and that he is working on almost entirely by himself. And he's taking conclusions from that and applying them to business software, where the requirements are complex, rarely clear, change weekly in often unpredictable ways, and the development team is large and constantly changing over time (as people leave the company and new people come in).

This leads Gavin to conclude it is his own cleverness which keeps his code free of tech debt. Phrases like this give away the confusion:

> I also do one more thing that almost no developer does: I actually design my code before I ever start coding.

This is all well and good! Until you realize in a few months that the business is going in a new direction, and your big beautiful design is now based on a set of faulty assumptions. You either go back to the drawing board (and lose the business time and money) or those new features are going to be bolted on as ugly hacks. (You might even convince yourself "we'll eventually come back and refactor this, surely." Ha!)

As for the original author, his mistake was ascribing causation to a correlation. Since all projects he's ever seen that grow in code size gradually accumulate tech debt, he concluded that it is the increase in code size which caused the tech debt. But in reality - Gavin was correct on this point - programming is about developing a mental model for the solution space. Debt arises when the developers no longer possess an accurate model (which they very often don't, when the model they possess is based on a set of vague requirements, and/or when the model that was correct three months ago is now wrong since the business made some new decisions, and/or when the developers who had an accurate mental model when they were working on the problem three years ago have now left the company and the new team don't possess all of the knowledge and context of that era, et cetera et cetera).

These are possible concerns, but not unilaterally true. This is precisely the narrative that I bet is being addressed in TFA.

I was homeschooled for a bit. It was fine. I went through a few grades at my own pace in one year, skipping assignments I didn't want to do and testing out whenever possible. When I went back to "real" school I was way ahead and got real bored. If I had had the opportunity to continue at my own pace, I probably would have enjoyed it a lot more. At that time I was a very fast reader and eager learner.

I was never very socially adept, but homeschooling didnt help, and that caused more issues than anything addressed in these silly doom-and-gloom comments.

It's not for everyone, sure, but as an option, it should probably not be completely outlawed. I'd be fine with similar testing requirements for both groups of students, for example. Or a tiny bit of regulation around "keeping a homeschool permit" or something that's based on test scores or something.

Glad to see this researched more. It has become popular in pop culture science to bring up the "myth" of using nukes to stop/deflect asteroids. Apparently, their incorrect use in a few movies discounts them ever being used. Even "science communicators" have participated in evangelizing the ineffectiveness of nukes, never realizing you don't have to land on the asteroid and drill a nuke into its core to use it effectively.

There have already been papers on deflection via the ablation of an asteroid via nuclear detonation, so the idea is not new. However, it looks like with the knowledge gained with the DART mission this research will enable better modeling.

Around here, every homeschooler we meet is extremely religiously conservative, and is unabashed in talking about not wanting their kids to learn certain aspects of science like evolution or parts of history because it conflicts with their faith.

Obviously as an anecdote, I can’t say how prevalent these types of issues are among homeschooling in general, but I do believe it’s enough of an issue to be concerned.

We already have enough people raised who have trouble understanding issues that are of vital importance to our society, and it’s only becoming more of an issue. In a democracy we need an educated electorate who can make some basic educated decisions when voting.

Public schools are not perfect by any means, but at least we have some say as a public about those curriculum, and have successfully fought things like intelligent design being taught in schools. A growing homeschooling trend takes those issues further out of the public’s control, and it’s in the public’s interest that kids all get at least some basic level of education.

We need to take steps to strengthen our public education system, and the trend of homeschooling is at the very least an extremely concerning indication that our public school system is failing. It’s a national crisis, and most certainly will affect the US ability to compete against countries like China with strong public schooling. (Studies consistently show that Chinese students beat American children in all academic categories.)

The problem of homelessness isn't due to a lack of money. The problem is people don't want housing for the homeless (or any housing at all, usually) built near them. When there's a shortage of housing, there's gonna be homeless people, it's basic logic.

The amount of money required to fix the housing shortage is negligible for a country as rich as the US. But money isn't the problem here, politics is. And no amount of money can fix that.
And they are not your problem.
I agree, most parents are only 15 years out from their own schooling. Some of the teachers may even be the same. (I know a lot changes in 15 years, but I’m not aware of any major shifts in education).

Or you could just devote your parental time and effort to supporting your children in the educational environment that 95% of the rest of the world participates in and ios available to them in society, so they learn the value of succeeding in a challenging environment vs sheltering them from the real world.

I was eyeing it pretty heavily recently, considering using it in my homelab for distributed ZFS. I wound up using Ceph since Proxmox has native support for it, but I still may try it out.

I’d like to be able to create zpools for DBs to take advantage of snapshotting, but combining ZFS and Ceph on the same underlying disk (even if they are enterprise NVMe drives) is fraught with peril.

We're already there. I use Readwise Reader and often take advantage of the text-to-speech feature for listening to articles from the Economist. The Economist already provides an audio narration of the article by a human, but some of the narrators' British accents are a bit too thick and difficult for me to understand at 1.5x. Readwise Reader's text-to-speech does a much better job at 1.5x for my American English brain. AI-narration isn't perfect—here are some issues I have encountered:

- Section headers are read just like regular body text, which is confusing

- Not great with reading numbers. Narrating a year is very different from narrating a monetary value.

- Parenthetical statements are read just like regular body text
Why is it even possible to create a new Google account with an email like 'user+suffix@domain' if 'user@domain' is already handled by google's mail servers and thus applies the plus-routing rules? Even in the non-exploity case that seems like a great way to create confusing mail setups.

My parents were public school teachers for decades. When our oldest son was getting to be school aged they recommended that we homeschool because as they said "It is nothing like when you went to school".

When I met an old high school classmate who is a public school teacher in the district we both live in (300 miles away from where we grew up), she also said something similar.

There is currently a push by you know who to make “illegal aliens” a naughty word, a word that only the most ignorant would utter. They think it’s a pejorative because it’s associating everyone who enters the country (illegally) with a crime. However they’re ok with calling them all “migrants” or “asylum seekers” even though clearly, the vast majority are not. As you can probably tell, I am against this war on words, and think that you should be able to call a thing what it is.
The management and tracking of the documents presumably. You can sign a doc yourself but how do you manage keys? Where do you store the doc for auditing etc.
Ya no the schools routinely fail special needs students and even actively encourage homeschooling those kids sometimes because they see it as a big disruptive headache. I’ve seen this specifically with fellow parents who have kids on the spectrum (even though legally speaking the schools have an obligation to help these kids and meet their needs, there is a lot of dysfunction in how they try to do this and in some situations it seems intentionally harmful to deter the parents from keeping the kids there).

While I admire teachers (the many good ones) and their training, the fact is you don’t have to be smarter than them when you are teaching one or two kids full time and they are teaching ~25 for 6 hours a day.

You have probably met several sociopaths and psychopaths in your life and never knew. It is even difficult for a well trained psychologist or psychiatrist to make a definitive conclusion. Sociopaths and psychopaths are good at hiding it. They know what to say to make them appear empathetic.

It is not easy and it would be a disaster all around.
