I commented on another thread[1] but I feel like it would apply here:

> My theory is that this is not limited to Boeing or even aircraft design, it's a much deeper and systemic problem affecting all kinds of fields. We've had a lot of industrial accidents lately.

> When aircraft manufacturing was an emerging industry there were tons of undocumented safety margins and "slack" in the design and production pipeline.
Over time, the beancounters start optimizing stuff, so these undocumented safety margins are eroded in the name of efficiency/profit (and sometimes even documented safety margins too).

> Furthermore, workers back in the day had a much better life when it comes to purchasing power (especially when it comes to property), and so could actually "give more fucks" about the job than they do now which is a compounding factor. You used to get a lot of implicit quality assurance back then which you don't get now.

> We've now reached a stage where these undocumented safety margins have been eroded enough that it actually starts to cause issues, and the safeguards that are supposed to catch them aren't good enough, either due to 1) they've never been good enough but just weren't really needed before or 2) they too have been eroded in the same way for the same reason.

I'd be willing to pay a premium not to fly on such an aircraft but not too big, as even though they aren't quite as safe as they should be, my impression is that the risk is still fairly low. Something on the order of 5%
Industrial sabotage? Grievance sabotage? Quality control?

Well of course they're not trying to replace macOS, for instance, but when an OS gets big enough to have offshoots and different front-ends and desktop environments and so forth, one would assume there are at least experimental attempts emphasizing ease of use, just like there are experiments to develop offshoots for any other purpose, from power users to pen testers. At least like, someone's toy project on GitHub or SourceForge. I just assumed BSD was big and well-established enough to have such efforts.

Besides GhostBSD, looks like there's also Lumina, MidnightBSD, FuryBSD, and TrueOS/Project Trident?

Thanks, Jack Welch. May you burn in hell for making the 21st century worker-employer relationship so adversarial.
Your reference definitely doesn't show a calculation of the type you are trying to do. Likelihood ratios are not the same as odds ratios; they do not have the problem I described.

I would be very surprised if you can find any reference at all to the number you describe as 'evidence bits', or anything equivalent, made by anyone who can show an understanding of basic probability, statistics, or information theory.

I understand how you get 20,000,000 as the answer to the calculation you carry out. My point is that that number is not meaningful in any way.
Israel is committing a genocide in occupied Palestine. So Yemen is intervening by blockading Israel through the Red Sea and launching strikes (similar to the NATO intervention in the Kosovo genocide).

Shipping companies, rather than abiding by the selective blockade of Israeli bound ships, are re-routing all ships instead because they believe making this a global problem will resolve the matter with military intervention without them having to "pick" a side. Some of these companies also have deep ties to Israel (or based in countries that have de-facto signed off on Israeli aggression) so abiding by the blockade is not politically feasible. One exception is COSCO and they seem to going through the canal just fine.
At a minimum in the US the company has to pay you for unused vacation days and send you your outstanding pay within 3 days. Also, if you give two weeks notice they might reasonably can you but pay you for the extra two weeks if they are afraid of looking punitive (a smaller company thing — big companies typically don’t worry about being sued for that kind of thing).

But not always; my kid resigned from AWS in November and they asked him to work the two weeks, even having him push to prod on the second to last day.

As someone with four Ryzen 7 PRO 5750GEs, I’ll say I’m looking forward to whenever the Ryzen 7 PRO 8750GEs exist. :)

In raw CPU performance, I found the 5750GE was 90-92% of the CPU performance of a 5700X, but capped out at a total package power of just 39W. 5750GEs made for fantastic home server CPUs, so here’s hoping there’ll be an 8750GE later this year (plus some ASRock Rack mATX motherboards with ECC support and BMCs).

I agree the OEM only was a pain. I had to get my 5750GEs through mostly disassemblers/recyclers, though some boutique shops like QuietPC buy a half tray of them at a time to sell directly to end users, so keep on the lookout!
I believe they never release good APUs because they would cut into the market for video cards... So the best APU has to be inferior to a mediocre GPU combo.
Depends, some places will just pay you to stay home during your notice period and disable all your access and accounts immediately upon you providing your notice.
Soft materials develop wear more easily.

e.g. any slight boogering of the threads of a used fastener could translate into rotational torque that doesn't end up being converted to a clamping force.

(or in more extreme instances, some fasteners are torque to yield, and change shape after their first use, and must be replaced. But I'll presume that's not what they were talking about here)
You may think so but in IT or especially industries that "have" IT but are not IT, who knows what people/teams have installed or are using without you knowing.

Has anyone had any success in code generation? I feel like chatgpt usually completely fails to write even a small function correctly unless it's a very trivial or well known problem. I usually have to go back and forth for a good long while explaining all the different bugs to it, and even then it often doesn't succeed (but often claims it's fixed the bugs). The types of things it gets wrong makes it a bit hard to believe it could improve enough to really boost dev productivity this year.
Well, I have two Debian desktop installations. One is six, the other one is ten years old. I never had a problem with either.

> Why has EW countermeasures not effectively

EW is highly overrated. The EM spectrum is large, transceivers are agile and high gain antennas are inexpensive and easy to operate. Thus, any conceivable EW countermeasure you imagine has a short expiration date: the problem is highly asymmetric.
It’s almost as if the person didn’t think for a second about someone discovering it… all those traces. Unless it was a set up, fake AP (anyone can create a hotspot quickly on their phone with any SSID). Either a complete reckless amateur or a total set up I am thinking.

I would suggest openbsd. it is not user friendly in the "hide all complexity from the user" sense but more like "this system is simple enough to understand yet full featured enough to work in".

The way I like to explain it is. if you like the unix operating environment, It is hard to do better than openbsd for a desktop system. If you are expecting something more like a mac or windows environment, there are options, but I suspect you would be better off with linux(or mac or windows for that matter).

Openbsd is comfortable in a way that is hard to explain. While largely this is just what what a person is used to. with obsd I have a good feel on how it works and goes together. something I never really felt with linux. however you do lose a lot of the network effect advantages that linux has.

The 'malaise' is the rot coming from uncurbed late-stage capitalism. Just about every single company only cares about short-term forecasts which leads to enshittification because there is no long-term planning or allowance for things like quality control.

Privately-owned companies or worker-owned companies are more resilient to this problem because the nature of their existence means a stronger focus on long term goals. Though there are still issues with publicly owned companies exerting enough influence to acquire and subsequently destroy private companies. For example, Rite-Aid acquiring Bartell Drugs then going bankrupt and proceeding to shutter most Bartell Drug stores leaving Seattle with a deficit of pharmacies.
> when we look at how we primarily interact with technology and the functionality it provides it's generally pretty well siloed to specific purposes.

Yes, but siloes in this case will get much bigger e.g. ChatGPT vs DALL-E

You got that switched around. Text generation is harder than image generation.
"Optimum is zero, because if you could wave a magic wand to magically make the amount of accidents zero, it would be a good thing to wave the wand."

You are conflating optimum (highest value outcome for all variables) and ideal (highest value outcome for one variable). The ideal number of any bad thing is zero. I can't, off the top of my head, think of any bad thing for which the optimum number is zero. Extinction level events, perhaps.
There is a non-zero chance we are headed for a situation where global warming and sea level rise will make hundreds of millions, mostly from equatorial regions, desperate refugees. It could be that an attitude of self-righteousness might become impossible to maintain. Friends come and go.
Audio and ethernet are probably cheaper onboard than with whatever you need to enable usb-c and an external dongle.

The real way to get a cheaper board is going chipsetless; something knoll3 like this [1], but without the fancy bits. Single 1g ethernet, no ipmi, no oculink, and the price probably comes way down. Although, I do see there's a MSI PRO A620M-E Micro ATX out there for $75, so maybe we can have a chipset after all.

They aren't. This repeated claim has been never confirmed scientifically.

Yeah, it's not a symmetrical dynamic at all.

Leaving without notice is a good way to alienate a lot of contacts that most people will really want to maintain. But even beyond that from what I understand most places have policies in place to prevent employees coming back if they've left without notice.

Meanwhile, if my employer fires me without notice and I've got a mortgage, mouths to feed, and/or medical bills, then I don't really have the leverage to say "I'm sorry, by firing me without notice, you are ineligible from asking to rehire me."

It's also that it's effectively waste/garbage.
Deep breath time. Since everything on the internet now lasts approximately forever, it's important to consider how all of this looks to everyone coming into it. An appearance of cooperation and a tone of collaboration are the most helpful even if you feel like wringing necks, just as in a workplace conference room.

I can certainly understand frustration at your inability here to guarantee a certain level of user experience, which is important. Your user is your top priority, that's all good. As a homebrew consumer, I'd like your outcome myself. Your community is also a participant, and they're unavoidable. Some sort of accommodation in the flow (README, first-run message etc.) would mitigate.

A colleague and friend always advised "take the high road" and it's painful in the short term, always the better option in the long term.
Perhaps we need our leadership to be a bit more afraid of us so that they we can encourage them to authentically attempt to address these concerns rather than use them as cover for some kind of alternative agenda--which seems to be what you're implying they'll do--but that strikes me as orthogonal to the issue of deciding what steps would be effective in the first place.
The torque or fastener spec could just be wrong in the face of unforeseen resonance or some other in-flight oddity cumulatively loosening the bolts.

I wouldn't be so certain it's installation error or mfr defect of the fasteners...
That's fantastic. It's a shame there isn't more stuff written (and especially, videos/streams) about K, but I get the feeling that will improve since there are a good few open-source K-like implementations (at least ngn/k, oK, ktye/i, kona, kuc and Goal).
Recently I stumbled upon iKe (http://johnearnest.github.io/ok/ike/ike.html) which is pretty amazing.

Sorry, but habe you ever worked in an aero assembly plant? You're making it sound like it's just like any other warehouse sweatshops job where you need to pee in a bottle while you work to meet your quotas when it's the furthest thing possible from that.

You definitely have enough time to work at leisurely pace and assemble every part right. There's not much rushing going on there. If workers get away with doing dodgy work you have a QA issue.
The beauty of it is there's no model training involved: it's quite literally a prompt that reads something like "given the following document, output JSON that contains the following information: a field name `"widget"` that contains widget name, etc..." then including the doc right into the prompt. This was written a while ago so it just iterates in a python script dividing the source document up and aggregating to get around context length limits. Extremely simple, but works great.

I don't have a really specific accuracy target but since my main interest is in the aggregated results it's not a huge deal if the aggregations are slightly off. (The manual human approach is not 100% accurate either, after all; it's extremely common for humans to make data entry mistakes.)

Since the strategic objective here will likely be to suppress them while changing the context with regard ro Israel-Palestine and their sponsors in Iran and not regime change, that works in the US's favor.
Skipping that part is even more ubiquitous than failure to properly torque. It takes a lot of effort to buy the correct bolts, only specialists have them to hand for a given make. Even dealers might not have every bolt. So it means you need to procure many more parts you would otherwise (the part you're replacing, plus 20 specific bolts with part numbers).. Most mechanics don't bother unless it's something really big like cylinder head bolts or an axle nut.
Debug everywhere or google controlled, those things seem diametrically opposed. Aside from the murky area of cookies, chrome isn't straying much from web standards.

There's really not much reason to not use a browser, the compatibility issues are pretty much a thing of the past on any browser, unless you're doing something esoteric. Installing a special app should be unusual.
Statistically speaking it's not worth worrying about. In 2021 there were less than 0.001 deaths per 100M passenger miles. Assuming these aircraft are 10x more dangerous than the alternative, that works out to 0.01 deaths per 100M passenger miles, or 0.00000026 deaths NY to SF flight. For an average american aged 38.9 years[2] with 40 years of life left[3], that works out to a loss of life of 5.4 minutes. I don't think most americans would worry over this, especially compared to other far more deadly threats like obesity.

True - I was just going for 'around the same price'

I went 3400G -> 1600 Super -> 5600X, and performance with the latter was much better (other than being 2 gens behind, the older APUs had half the cache of the non-G variants)

Well they left a ladder in the tail of a plane during assembly in the not distant past. It's not like just a couple screws or washers were left behind to rattle around.

An ex worked on a QA-type project related to production for them. It makes me wonder if some of the issues were more fundamental than that project could ever have addressed.

That's the point, though. Apple are doing a pretty good job because they're using unified memory on the same chip. When AMD gets the same opportunity -- e.g.: PS4/PS5 and XBO/XSX APUs, Steam Deck APU, Z1 Extreme, etc. -- they get good results because they control the memory layout, capacity, and speeds. (And end up deploying VRAM as chip RAM, essentially)

You need to see the talks of the elixir team and Jose especially about bringing types to elixir. They are being so careful and thoughtful to bring a good type system or none at all.
PHP is indeed a good showcase how much improvement can be done, even if the foundation is flawed. In fact, limiting the scope to "how to introduce typing", PHP has done almost everything right. It even rejects nulls by default and I would have wished Python had been just as rigorous in this regard.
