They were spun off from Boeing though and I think focusing on them as an entity separate from Boeing for finding fault is the kind of reason why Boeing spun them off. We shouldn't take that bait and should be considering them a division of Boeing (yeah, even though they also sell parts to Airbus).

And Spirit seems entirely financially screwed as a company, they haven't had a positive gross margin since before Covid and on top of that they're now spending half their revenue on interest on their debt. Having Spirit eat those losses is probably great for Boeing's financials and stock price. They should likely be forced by the government to take Spirit over again.

Are there any that you can recommend? Google seems very unreliable in that department these days, it's very hard to say which reviews are honest and which ones are basically ads. There's also the additional complication that some sites that try to be honest receive products from manufacturers, which limits what they can say to keep their manufacturer relationships going.

It's wonderful to have resources online for cooking that aren't filled with SEO, blogspam garbage that tells you about how the author made RECIPE for their grandma and she loved RECIPE, and her grandpa, who sort of loved RECIPE, and her dog who ignored RECIPE, and how every time they make RECIPE, it reminds them of when they were younger, etc. etc. Oh, by the way here's how to make RECIPE in between advertisements and more blogspam garbage!

Well, yeah but the margins on operating a platform for 3rd party sellers is way better than actually just selling stuff.

Think about it - Amazon gets to take a fee on - accepting inventory into warehouse, holding inventory, listing fees, listing ads, sales fee, shipping products, accepting returns, destroying returned merchandise.. and probably a few more things.

Amazon makes money whether the underlying sale of products is unprofitable .. because that's someone else's problem.
It feels like it's reverting to how it was in the early 2010's -- dozens of identical super low quality knockoffs, normal brand name products that are overpriced or just absent from their store, reviews that can't be trusted, and dealing with third-party sellers of varying legitimacy. Around the time they started prime, there started having a lot more product variety and the prices of the knockoffs were pretty good for the quality. But over the last few years, prices have gone up a lot and a lot of the negative qualities of the past have returned.
Amazon is flooded with hilariously named companies all drop shipping the same cheap products.

It’s super weird and a horrible user experience. But it’s not fraudulent.

If anything it’s showing how much we’ve been overpaying for goods that cost literally cents to manufacture but sell for $30 or $50.
My experience is like yours. Amazon has been very reliable for me and the few times I’ve had a problem, their phone support people have fixed it.

I think one factor might be what city you are in. I’m in Austin and I think there must be a big warehouse nearby because it’s not that unusual for something I order to show up a few hours later.

There's always someone complaining about good things being too good and people lose on the rest because of it. What about letting people have some personal responsibility?

The core problem is: there's not enough unique, trained positions. Naively going past the end of training ctx makes you run straight into out of distribution positions, and things become incoherent.

For a model trained with a ctx size of 2, that looks like: `[0, 1, *incoherence starts* 2, 3]`

Existing RoPE scaling methods try to stay in-distribution by assigning positions between the known in-distribution ones: `[0, 0.5, 1, 1.5]`. This is still ~kinda OOD, but works w/ some fine tuning.

The method in OP breaks the core premise that we need unique positions at all, and just gives multiple tokens the same position: `[0, 0, 1, 1]`.
I know people write these kinds of programs and I write these kinds of programs, but the obvious solution to this predicament is that we should have more, simpler tools so that instead of a combinatorial mess of options, you get a collection of composable tools.

IKEA has huge economies of scale, a ruthless focus on efficiency, little marketing, and reasonably low margins (~8%).

At any given price point, their products are likely to be the best available, with the caveat that they do offer things at price points where everything in the market is disposable crap. Their mid-price stuff can be great value though.

I’ve bought a number of IKEA products made from solid wood that are 10+ years old, have moved multiple times, and still look/work great, including some Hemnes dressers.
Never work so hard that you'd be that frustrated and almost crying once fired for no reason. Corporations are no friends. They'll let you down without any reason, you're just a number. Spend your energy on them accordingly.

Once fired, go away with dignity and smile, while knowing that you had Plan B for the whole time. Many people compare relationship with company they work for with the relationship with their partner, but it's a totally different thing. Abundance mentality is crucial and always think about Plan B and build your career to be able to leave the company anytime.

Realistically, you should sell it while it's valuable. Take a look at IPv6 adoption. I know, I know, "IPv6 will never be here blah blah blah", so the naysayers say, but look at what Google is getting now, for instance:

https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html

We're counting down the years before IPv6 will become the major protocol, after which, IPv4 addresses will slowly start to loose value.

"But it's only FAANG, noone else has IPv6!"
Just not the case anymore. But even if, most people don't care about anything else anyway.
I have a friend who helps to operate a university dorm network. Allegedly, he once removed an IPv4 address by mistake from one student's computer. He only heard about it half a year later, when the student casually mentioned that only Google, Facebook and other big sites seem to work. Apparently, if Google, Facebook, and the School's website works, it's acceptable to most (which is sad for different reasons, but that's not my point).

Anyway, that's still at least a few years away though, you can have some fun with it for now :)

I suspect it comes from when engineers try to problem solve with non-engineers.

At the very least I've been in the room a few times when this happened. The engineer says a few things. The non-engineer suggests something outside their wheel house. The engineer explains why it won't work or would be too expensive to work. Non-engineer accuses engineers of living in a colorless world without imagination.

The black and white thinking accusation is similar to the 50-50 chance of winning the lottery (either you do or you don't). That is, engineers only say if something can work or won't work so they're black and white. It kind of misses the nuance in what's happening.
What is it about VR that makes it meaningfully different enough from the current generation of problematic technology that we don't need to worry about the same problems?

This isn't a "gotcha" question; I'm genuinely curious. To me, VR is a new interface layer on top of a massive ecosystem, and the same people are building it. The ecosystem is where the problems exist, and VR is just the latest facade through which we interface with that ecosystem.

In this framing, it's not ascribing old problems to new technology as much as claiming that the new technology magnifies or intrinsically replicates the existing problems.

> The warnings started appropriately early in 2011, there should’ve been regulations in place by 2015

It's 2024 and the regulatory landscape is very poor or nearly nonexistent. Shouldn't this encourage more caution? i.e. we've already proven that looking back and deciding "oh yeah we should have been more careful" hasn't actually resolved the issue, and taking the same approach with emerging tech that has similar pitfalls seems doomed to repeat that.

I also don't think we had any idea what was coming when we were building the stacks that underlie the current web. We now have much clearer mental models of what the Internet and technology in general is capable of, and the resulting warnings are coming much earlier (appropriately, IMO).
My personal favorite possibility: Nobody is actually able to connect advertising spend to incoming revenue in any rigorous way.

I've witnessed cult-like behaviour in tech circles before, and it's always been from the underdogs.

I used to frequent the Windows Phone subreddit in the OS's final days because most people paying attention got the signal that Microsoft was done with the platform, so what remained was absolute die-hards and they were fascinating to watch. They needed to constantly reassure each other that they were making the right decision by using a Windows Phone. They would brush off the app gap by acting like Instagram and Snapchat were just for stupid children, and their platform was better because it did the important things like Excel spreadsheets. They'd claim one of the few remaining phones - which was a bottom-of-the-barrel Nokia that could be purchased for something like $50 - was equal or better to the latest iPhone or Android flagships.

It was a similar situation in the Blackberry subreddit too at the end of its life. The "losing team" feels the need to justify their side, whereas the "winning team" doesn't consider there to be a battle going on at all. I think there was certainly a point where Apple was the alternative choice and Apple users were acting like that, but these days most people buy Apple products because it's the default choice. The fanboys exist, but with how many users are out there, they're an overwhelming minority. Most people are just using the product they bought, and don't consider it to be a choice in a tech war.

The surgeon does not need images or Javascript or even CSS to listen or watch. She only needs the audio/video files.
