Exactly, the 737 was the highest-selling commercial aircraft before the incident, and the MAX was promised to be a simple but efficient upgrade to that popular series that many already had.

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

These companies make a lot of money because of supply & demand. They pay large salaries because of supply & demand. They have layoffs because of supply & demand.

It's free market. Stop complaining unless you can propose something better.
Yes you are right but I think you’ve found a bug with my cack handed description of my logic, not with the logic itself!

We value things highly by assigning them symbols with low values, so a symbol with a postfix modifier that gives it a slightly lower value means we value it higher! Or something :)
Working remotely with such salaries one can afford to search for places where a house near a daycare is a viable solution and move to another place once daycare is no longer needed
Same for me. Locally I try to use asdf-vm for handling different versions of stuff needed.
Sure, once they pay their tax for decades, pay their premiums and copay, and buy their supplimental private insurance (not to mention facilities diffusing some costs through higher price setting of private parties). It's not a bad system, but you can't really scale a system that takes decades to fund and requires all these other costs. Especially since this conversation is about debt to medical facilities which can still occur under Medicare (or be forced onto Medicaid). Yes, supposedly it would save the US $2 trillion over 10 years, although there is some debate on that.

Edit: why disagree?

> Is it really that cheap?

737 MAX uses 20% less fuel.

Incidentally, this fuel-efficient design is what lead to the design defect. The fuel efficiency is thanks to larger engine (larger engines burn hotter and use less fuel). To make the larger engine fit under the wing without raising the fuselage, they had to reposition the engine forward. This forward-positioning of the engine causes the nose to pitch up when accelerating quickly (and this can cause stall) and they fixed this defect using software to push the nose down.
You prepackage an image with everything you need to run your app, then you mount your local directory as a volume where you COPY it into your container (the volume mount will override that file system path) and now you can run your container, edit your code, see live-reload do its thing (if you have that) and when it’s time to deploy - simply don’t mount your local directory and let the COPY do its thing.

Also, any 3rd party things (database for example) can be done with a docker-compose.local.yml omitting your app image and instead building it from .

2 weeks notice is typical in the US. You may be asked to work the final 2 weeks to hand over the job. But I guess Google doesn't want that, which kinda makes sense given what broad ACLs most employees have. Technically they're still employed for at least 2 more weeks, just locked out.
Israel has a vested interest in discrediting the UN, this does not mean that the UN is in fact not a credible source. I'll glaze over their non-condemnation (since nobody required to condemn the IDF to participate in this discourse) and I'll say that independent investigations have yet to substantiate the accusations of sexual violence and infant beheadings that the Israeli state makes. So at least on that accord, the facts are on the side of the UN denials.

As an attorney, I think your second point is the most salient: the participants in a meeting at Amazon care even less than my clients would care about their smallest legal problem.

If you wait until the beginning of the meeting to prepare, there is an extremely high risk that someone else in the room is prepared to eat your lunch. Don’t surrender the initiative by being lazy.

Haven't seen it mentioned yet - but there are several reasons why airlines continue to buy from Boeing - specifically the 737 variants.

- The pilots are already trained (this is a big one and is part of the reason behind the MCAS debacle - new features mean retraining which costs money and limits which crews can fly which aircraft) [0]

- The 737 generally fits easily at a lot of airports since it's been around for a while - no need to reconfigure your gates/jet ways/etc to accommodate another aircraft at your gates)

- Airlines more recently prefer twin engine jets for better fuel economy and some changes in regulations [1]

- The MAX upgrade to the 737 platform was mostly to jam larger, more fuel-efficient engines into an existing airframe to save on manufacturing, certification, and training costs (see first point)

- In the US many airlines have shifted to single-aisle "mid-sized" planes for domestic routes due to deregulation around direct service - instead airlines can use a hub-and-spoke model with several connecting flights as opposed to only providing direct routes with enough demand to fill a plane [2]

> now the brave Emacs user of 2024 is forced to spend lots of time not in Emacs, thus defeating the point of using Emacs.

If you can just get your email in Emacs, you can get a lot of integration you need. Luckily, email is still a must-have for many services.

For things like slack, teams, etc... it's much much harder.

Glancing at my "emacs for everything" roam node, I was last looking at utilizing matterbridge[0] to get access to teams, slack, etc by bridging to IRC. However, more ideal would be bridging to matrix especially if attachments/etc can be bridged over.

Taking actions based upon notifications though all the way from beginning to completion, then using elisp to customize the process, is definitely where emacs has the most impact.

Coworker pasted some code? You are reading it in an emacs buffer and have a function to open the code block at point in a python buffer with a repl split to the right to test it with no effort.

What happened to fobs/keycards? Do people not want those?
Language model understanding could still be reconciled with internalism about meaning if we conceptualize text itself as a form of sensory input. Like sense data, text is ultimately caused by external reality. The language model "perceives" reality through text. Indeed, modern multimodal language models like Gemini treat text similar to pictures or audio.

The conceptual difference between text and usual sensory input is that the causal story that produces the text is much more complex than the causal story that produces, say, photos. Photons bouncing off objects and hitting the retina or a CCD sensor, a very simple mechanism. For text the mechanism involves intelligent humans writing it down, so the relation to reality is much more indirect. So inferring an internal world model from text is much harder than from pictures. Then again, language models are trained on a lot of text, much more than a human could ever read.
Do you think that maybe those security procedures exist because big companies have been bit once too many times?
I had a mostly great experience with Hertz Polestar in Switzerland. Easy to drive, did well on the road.

The most painful part of the experience was attempting to charge it before returning it. Finding a compatible, working L3 charger was very difficult, even in Zurich and the experience of downloading an app to start the charging process was terrible. It of course, didn't accept my non-Swiss credit card and I had a get a local friend to help with the payment part.

Many companies in many industries do this. It’s often simply not practical or sensible to price every SKU “fairly “ on some value or cost basis. Your margin varies from item to item (including negative) and the whole bundle works out.
Individual parents aren’t generally in a position to open a daycare and make a meaningful difference in the supply of childcare. Employers may be able to do so.

First time I hear of "phind", nice that it shows the sources on one side, and the summary/answer on the other.

I wonder if the sources it lists are completely authoritative to its answer (i.e. the answer adds no new/hallucinated stuff that's not in the sources), or whether the sources are just "relevant".
If the alternatives are not working at all, or working at a company that might have problems paying their employees , I think many will take the risk of working at a large tech company that does regular layoffs but gives generous severance
> In many many (most?) countries doing this is illegal and will land you a court decision against your breach of the employee's rights

What rights do you mean other than the notice period (and the ones surrounding whether the contract can be terminated at all)?

Because notice period can be solved by continuing to pay the salary and to be fair, Google and the other tech giants have usually done that to a pretty high level during layoffs. E.g. Discord is now paying out 5 months of salaries to the laid off people.

That’s a big document with lots of acronyms and references to specific standards for compliance that law professionals might be familiar with, but is otherwise completely meaningless.

You also mentioned that collecting user data is how Microsoft is paid in the GP comment. That’s pretty clear to me. I thought when I paid Microsoft, that was the main revenue stream.

The document provided in theory communicates what you said so succinctly before, but with more legal and confusing language.

If it says the opposite, then just asking me to assume that this document that’s extremely difficult to read explains why outlook should ingest information I wasn’t told about, since I live in a jurisdiction where Microsoft doesn’t need to, and why that’s actually a neutral or possibly “good” thing for me, is a bit silly.

No inside knowledge but: day care everywhere in the Bay Area is in high demand but is so very expensive and needs to be _more_ expensive. Caretaker ratios are fixed by law, so your main expense is labor, of a relatively low skill variety. And that is where workers have seen impressive gains in wages lately, putting a real squeeze on daycare businesses. It's a real "losing money but making up for it in volume" squeeze.
Cost of opportunity? The same money used elsewhere was probably calculated to render more profit.
> Police in California are inept at stopping this

Former long time renter here. I had the same problem with neighbors in an adjacent apartment complex, and police couldn't do a damned thing except come out at 4 am and tell me, yep, we can hear that from the street.

I mentioned the problem to the landlord. The landlord told me to report it to the public health department. I did.

I never heard back from the health department, but the noise stopped within a few days, and the stereo blasting tenant and their onsite manager glared at me ever time I saw them afterwards.
Even the most deranged employees likely won’t have weapons on them. Most of the workplace violence seems to happen when a disgruntled (ex)employee returns to their place of work some time after the fact.

All US military navigation systems use INS pervasively for primary navigation. You can attack GPS, LORAN, etc and it won't affect their operations. This has been axiomatic in the design of those systems for many decades. US military ships are no different, also using INS for primary navigation. As with every other US military system, they can conditionally accept fine-tuning inputs from GPS and other untrusted sources of navigation data because why not. They use a lot of open source data sources, but they don't need them or trust them.

It is well understood that women have cells from their children for at least a decade (probably more) after pregnancy. My wife progressed to pneumonia or severe bronchitis every time she got a cold until after our first son came along. Now, almost a decade after our last child's birth, she has no lung or bronchial problems.

My wife developed motion sickness during her third pregnancy that she still has, although with diminishing severity. Our third child (a son) is autistic and had severe balance issues for several years. The coincidental timing is suspicious.
The reason they didn't want to raise the fuselage was to pretend it was actually a 737 and not a completely different plane, so that they could avoid all the testing required. If they'd just built it properly in the first place...

I rented Bolt EV from Hertz in San Jose airport. Returned it with full charge. The person receiving the car on return confused range with total miles driven and charged me for not returned the car above the charge level. I explained to him that he is reading odometer wrong but he was so adamant that I am wrong.
I am sure Hertz didn't even train their customer facing staff with how EVes work.
I really like Kaiser as well, but afaik, they are one of the most expensive providers out there. I've only had Kaiser once, many years ago and the company dropped them because the cost to insure each person was significantly more expensive per person than everyone else. This was in a place where the average age was less than 35. I can only imagine what it costs now, especially for companies with a higher age average.
On a practical note:

If the tritium vials / compounds included in product aren't broken, in a landfill it would just sit there, right? Tritium half-life is ~12y iirc?

If it is broken: VENTILATE! Some other tritium-containing compound? Can't be collected (like, sweeped up) somehow?

And ehm... ~12y half-life. Whatever gets loose isn't going to stay around 'forever'.
Today I also learned, it's dangerous to rent from Hertz. https://www.npr.org/2022/12/06/1140998674/hertz-false-accusa... You might accidentally get arrested for stealing one of their cars. It apparently has happened thousands of times.
I accidentally booked an electric vehicle a few weeks ago. I was halfway to looking up charging spots on Long Island when the guy at the Hertz counter offered me a Dodge Charger instead.

For the record, my hotel did not have charging spots, and the only ones I saw driving around were at the Broadway Commons Mall[0]. All of them looked full. I'm very skeptical of "charging infrastructure" being a prerequisite to suburban EV adoption - you have a house with a spare 220V circuit, right?[1] - but in this case my home is an eight story hotel building. Either it has chargers or I'm not renting an EV.

[0] Specifically, near the back next to the Round1 entrance.

Said mall also has an Avis/Budget office. No clue if the LIRR lets you carry luggage onboard, but if they do I probably should just take that instead of paying extra to rent at JFK...

You’re just twisting what “best” means to suit your bias.

That is not a measure of how sophisticated and capable a model is.

GPT4 is a more sophisticated, more capable mode than mistral.

If that doesn’t make it the “better” for you, that’s fine; but any attempt to argue about the capabilities of the models is misguided.

Restrictions placed on a model are an orthogonal concern to its capabilities.

…but sure, you can invent some benchmarks to score models on other criteria, which is entirely valid.

It’s perfectly fair to say that GPT4 doesn’t top all possible metrics… only the meaningful ones about model capabilities.
