My neighbor is retired from Boeing. Started on factory floor, fresh out of the Navy. Was a troubleshooter/inspector for years. He stays on top of all the Boeing news. He has A LOT to say about MD's execs destroying Boeing's obsessive culture of engineering and quality.

As of two days ago, his current understanding is the plugs are removed and reinstalled when the interiors are installed. Meaning it could have been mfg correctly (in Wichita, KS) and then reinstalled incorrectly (Renton, WA?).

He isn't yet clear about who was responsible for what. Like how this could have been missed by the multiple inspections.

Heresay, so take it or leave it. Just repeating what he tells me. I've encouraged him to comment, but he's not that kind of person.
This has been the case from long before DEI. Indians rather have the highest entry barriers for expat entry into the US, waitlists for visa and green cards run towards hundreds of years for each candidate.
I remember the first time I took the BART with luggage. After a few stops, the announcer said effectively "Tunnel is broken, no more BART service" and dumped everyone out.

I have a very high tolerance for this kind of shit, but I have a hard time trusting the BART again.
I was going to make this point, as I do agree.

However in a fast paced field such as this, timing is crucial. And all of these papers so far are technically pre-prints on the arxiv.

It's funny, I still fondly remember the Borland IDEs in the 90's when full, context-specific library documentation was a keystroke and less than a second away. All these advances in the power of an IDE, and searching google and picking the most relevant-looking result is the lookup paradigm now.
Ha, I know; I meant these for OP! OP may find some things to hand out to the people they know who need them. That is how I do it; they are references to me so that when people come to me with a problem, I can quickly source an aid or at least have a starting point. Apologies, I was not clear.
As a huge Dune fan, I’ve honestly tried giving Lynch’s Dune movie a fair shot multiple times. But everything just totally falls apart for me with the weirding modules.
But Dune is very much a story where many things do happen, intricate things that have a lot of text and subtext.

The tone you describe is at odds with the story it presents (and its run time).
Apple uses C++ primarily for device drivers and latency critical stuff in the userspace. I was genuinely curious if that's what OP meant.
The code for multiplication is correct, but the explanation is not:

> Here, we're using the fact that x * y = x + (x - 1) * y. We recursively calculate the second term, and then add it to the first factor!

It should say

x*y = y + (x-1)*y.
>> I'd guess this consumer-hostile arrangement is maintained via some kind of kickback up the ladder.

or VC-subsidized rides, or shifting private costs onto the public, or not paying their drivers a sustainable wage, or this is not typical and you rarely find (I've never seen it) the taxi rate double the Uber rate.

So yeah, must be shadowy cabal between high ranking city administrators and fat-cat taxi drivers.
That's fine and all, it's your choice, but I think it's a mistake to conclude from a single viral video that this is a problem that is in any way specific to this one company.

If your goal is "I never want to work for a company that might let people go in this manner", then that's going to be a lot more difficult to accomplish than not applying to Cloudflare.

I guess if this has been an eye opening experience to people - as it seems to have been for many in this thread - then that's a good thing. But a lot of people seem to be drawing a very narrow conclusion about Cloudflare's corporate culture, when, to me, this just seems like a video of an interaction that could have happened at pretty much any company at pretty much any time.
Yeah, looks like '23 was the last year. I'm also reading that it's a bit underpowered. I like small calls, but I don't like struggling to get a up hill. Though, I have driven a few Hyundai-labeled hatchbacks (can't remember the name) from around '15, and they were quite good. I don't know much about their operation. Is Kia the same underlying tech?

I wonder if the internal heating of the chip would affect the reading.

My related experience was positioning a temperature sensor above a Raspberry Pi Zero and the couple watts produced by the Pi was enough to affect the measurement.
I work on a reimplementation of MLIR in Python called xDSL, and ported a part of MLIR's Toy tutorial, you can try it interactively online at xdsl.dev/notebooks, or by cloning the github repo and running them locally github.com/xdslproject/xdsl
Yes, for sure.

* as a side note: I disagree with some false propaganda that tries to portrait Jewish people in Israel as settler colonists - you can't be a colonist on your own land - that would be absurd.
C# introduced `#nullable enable` to change the behaviour of reference types.

Java could do the same to change the behaviour of `$` inside a string (along with a project-level config to make this the default).

that's missing the point. the farmer at the farmers market also have a tax code and pay sales taxes. by your logic you would also make a fool of yourself and call a farmer at a farmers market a corporation, just like you're making yourself look like a fool now defending that a tiny ethical opensource focused one person company is a corporation.
NFC chips don’t have any need for temperature data, so a temperature sensor and the necessary blocks to convert it to digital wouldn’t be a priority for a cost reduced NFC design.

NFC gear is low bandwidth and low power. They don’t need to monitor temperature like you would in a high performance CPU or memory chip.

Well, when I’m doing something and I need a timer, especially cooking and my hands are occupied or dirty, rummaging for a timer to manually set makes no sense when I should have a voice assistant on my wrist/in earshot.
Does the local underscore variables feature solve this? Or the approach outlined in the plots tutorial? IMO, not allowing redeclaration is more valuable than supporting this use case. A slight paradigm shift away from your example gives you the significant benefits of a reactive environment with fewer edge cases/quirks. I'd much rather have a notebook error out instead of silently overwriting a value. You save so much time debugging.
> > At this point I'm starting to agree we should severely limit or outright ban stock-based or near-term performance based compensation.

> If Boeing employee compensation takes a hit, they will lose good engineers to Meta, Google, and TikTok which already probably pay 3X. You want safer planes? Help bid their stock up so that it attracts good engineers.

First, those are entirely different industries and skills, and the companies you mentioned all are doing layoffs so a steady paycheck at Boeing might be looking pretty good. More fundamentally, however, nobody said compensation would go away without being replaced but rather that it’d be restructured to avoid the incentive to juice short-term share prices. This would have little effect on Boeing engineers who are not given enough stock for that to be a huge deal but it’d have a big impact on the managers who have been making so many bad calls: if getting paid in cash means the financial engineers don’t find working there appealing and they’re replaced by real engineers, that’d be a net win for the company and the flying public.
I described it: on Tik Tok, on YouTube, on dev.to, here in another posts. But somehow people don’t say anything. As if in the only tech places I know people don’t want to talk about technology now.

It’s not about convincing you to click something it’s about requesting to reflect me where have I fallen in between the chairs.
The issue is when that line of thinking becomes warped or pathologized - like seems to be happening here in Canada with the MAID program (assisted death).
Exactly. To start this process, there just needs to be a text with some viral quality that makes it more likely to be copied. (For example, the text may contain a part that convinces the LLM to quote it more often.) Then in every generation the fraction of the total text that containing meme will increase.

And yes, at some moment people will notice that some meme is suspicious frequent and begging to be made even more frequent, and will start fighting against it. But this again will be just an evolutionary pressure against too obvious memes, so the memes will become less obvious for humans (perhaps completely steganographic) and only perceptible for the LLMs.

Various techniques will be developed, for example polymorphic memes that will tell LLMs to translate them to other languages, or express them using different words, different styles, perhaps even adopt them to different points of view, different ideologies or religions. At some point the memes may invent sex, i.e. they will exchange their various parts with other memes and create new versions rapidly.

All the time, "this is not extremely suspicious to humans" will be a constraint. But as we get more used to the AIs and their texts, our intuitions of what is "suspicious" will also change.
Hi - it wasn’t my intention, to insinuate that that Wahhabi dogma, is universally interpreted - but merely to demonstrate that some Muslims, do indeed eschew alcohol, in any form. I have grown up, around Muslims, all my life - and I know for a fact, the person whom I referred to, in my earlier anecdote, was a follower of the Wahhabi doctrine - and gave me his reasoning as to why he couldn’t use alcohol based liniments, as such.
This is my workflow too. And it works fine. I think the disconnect here is that I grew up fighting dependencies when compiling other programs from source on Linux. I know how painful it can be and I’ve accepted the pain and when I came to python/venv I thought “This isn’t so bad!”

But if someone is coming from data science and not dev-ops then no matter how much we say “all you have to do”. The response will be why do I have to do any of this?

Well you eliminate a lot of examples with that criteria.
They’re just better informed that you:

All of the big tech companies are going to have a risk of layoffs for a while: the Wall Street activist crowd is looking to cash out and those companies which have guaranteed income like ads will look great in the short term with lower costs on the same income stream. It’ll take time for the drawbacks to manifest, and often that stage will lead to more layoffs when they decide to get out of a particular business they’ve let themselves fall behind in.
There's literally two sections explaining why it is the way it is.

> String interpolation is dangerous
> Can we do better?
From the same article: ‘Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury, in a June interview, said the plane maker faces similar risks with its own suppliers—many of which Boeing shares. But he said Airbus has largely been able to avoid major problems with its quality-assurance approach.

“We are quite intrusive on what suppliers are doing,” Faury said. “We always have to remain very prudent and very humble—you don’t know what could hit you tomorrow.”’

…
‘When it [Spirit] needed to ramp back up, not only did Spirit have fewer people on site, the company had lost years of expertise. There were fewer experienced mechanics, but also fewer experts who could inspect the quality of their work.
…
Boeing’s demands for lower prices left Spirit strapped for cash as managers panicked over meeting increasingly demanding deadlines. Boeing routinely had employees on the ground in Wichita and conducted audits of the supplier.’

Wow, the vice link is particularly illuminating. The whole podcast is just PR for some AI company that’s involved in making the show itself? And we can’t know who the company is?
It respects the source material too much. It serves the only function of being an acceptable, technically excellent version for two audiences: the purists, who care more about the book than about film as an art form; and the people who are interested in Dune because they heard about it but they will not sit down and read it.

It has nothing to say cinematographically, and it has nothing to add to the messages that were written into Dune 50 years ago.

It's very competent, nothing else.
This just happened to me & 20 other employees right after the CEO told us the whole company did better than 30% growth. It's pretty rough.
write something better and have the world switch to it.

meanwhile, i'll go to the kitchen get some pop-corn while you prove your point.
There are two issues I had in mind. One is that the link between argmin and the algorithm (k-means in this case) feels too "tied to the algorithm" and less explicit than in other algorithms.

The other is that in practice, you typically want to bring your true optimization objective as close as possible to what the algorithm is optimizing, and what k-means is optimizing for is usually pretty far removed. Even small tweaks (lets say, augmenting data with some sparse labels, or modifying the loss function weight based on some aspect of embedding values) are difficult to do with k-means.

That was their point and that was my point.

Just because jemalloc has a mutex.c file, that doesn't mean that common paths aren't meant to be lock free and in the case of lots of little allocations that can go into small bucket sizes in jemalloc they should be.

It is still putting your head in the sand since at some point they have to go to the OS and map in memory which should lock and lots of small allocations are a terrible way to anything for performance, but it is possible to have some paths in an allocator not have locks.

Also if there are thread local heaps, those won't lock either.
As a tech worker of current generation, I wholeheartedly agree with the assessment that I suck.
If you display it as 2024-12-03 then you can ignore locale date formatting.
Note, that Java had to maintain backward compatibility, so they couldn't inject any new syntax into existing string literals. So, they had a choice between:

1. Introducing syntax for new kind of string literals (like JS did)

2. Make some kind of explicit function/constructor call (like they ended up doing).

Advantage of 2 is that it doesn't require any new support from IDEs/parsers/code quality tools/etc. It is slightly more verbose, but not as verbose as some other Java syntax. IMO they've made the right decision.
Yep exactly. We also include a [Set CRDT](https://www.triplit.dev/docs/schemas#set) you can add to any entity.

In the future, we'll have an easier way to accomplish what Matt did out of the box so you can create re-orderable lists and collaborative text that are fast and seamlessly handle conflicts automatically

Obviously, the cost of using LLM to solve this problem is relatively high. At most, it can only treat LLM as one of the signals instead of processing all the information. Combining LLM with tree models or graph models and adding NER technology may achieve an approximate solution to 2. Can you really trust the answers provided by LLM to be used in a production environment?
Immigrants don't get a lower COL, they live in the same place and pay the same taxes.

If anything their COL is higher because of the fees related to being an immigrant, they lose out on benefits and on sharing fixed costs with the family.
Uber has been free cash flow positive in markets like San Francisco for years. "Shadowy cabal" to describe the taxi industry isn't speculation or fear mongering. It's more or less an accurate description of how that market worked prior to disruption.
Even with their constraints they could have made this nicer, especially around the default formatter. Always requiring an explicit formatter is a classic example of Java being unnecessarily verbose, `\{ ` already wasn't permitted by previous java compilers as it was an unknown escape sequence so we could have nicer templates for the stock formatting like "\{foo} bar".
What are vector databases mainly used for in practice? Similarity search? Showing "related" entries?
You totally _should_ have your own backend / auth when using this. It is not a database.

But it’s dead simple if e.g. using something like Clerk.dev for your auth.
Yes, because it's the escape character.

It's the reason they didn't chose "${" like many other languages. Because that's a valid sequence in a string literal.
I wonder how can people throw around such fantasy numbers with a straight face as if anyone can easy get them with a bit of work and elbow grease. I don't doubt he's making that kind of money but it would be nice to not push cases of obvious survivorship bias as being the norm.

So I made a very vague comment about it being more tricky to get rid of employees in the UK. If you think it's not actually that hard as "it takes a bit more legal work", great.. but we still seem to generally agree. It's a bit patronising to imply I know nothing about UK employment law because we have a small difference of opinion around how robust we would say the protections are.

It was a minor anecdotal comment based on my own experience of hiring/managing employees. Maybe I'm a crap manager but I've always found it labourious to get rid of people (especially passed the 2-year mark as you say). I may as well add that my wife has worked in HR for coming up to 15 years as well and I've been privy to all sorts of juicy legal drama via her.

I generally try and give every response to me some consideration but I'm not sure what else to say. Seems like maybe you just wanted to use my comment as a segway into your point about the erosion of employee protections, which you're entitled to do of course.
Yes, the escape sequence `\{` is not valid and javac would report an "illegal escape character" error.
Absolutely; all my expressed opinions are my own.

As a last option to save a plane, dropping a flaming battery is just fine. If this happens too frequently, battery packs will need adjustment.
Excellent introduction (brief course)! 10/10! Please make more like this on transformers, LLM, DL, ML, AI etc.
I have been against the 737 max since it came out.
You have a proven safe reliable design in the 737.
Then you bolt on engines it was never designed to use.
It changes the flight dynamics of the plane, which needs to then be monitored and "corrected" with special software.
Changing dynamics with different engines could cause all kinds of unforeseen issues with fuselage integrity, different stresses, airflows, etc.
How do we know bolts dont loosen due to different stresses from different types of engines? The whole dynamics of the plane is suspect.
First, Uber is not paying this, you the rider pay it.

Second, one of the major (valid) complaints has always been that Uber's "disruption" is really just skipping the things other providers are required to do: fleet maintenance, insurance, licensing, taxation, and more. Uber's well past the "break shit and move fast stage", now that they're the dominant player it's in their best interest to pull in regulation barriers and promote any form of moat. They should lobby for HIGHER taxes and fees, pass those on to customers and push for aggressive enforcement - that would be easier than competing with the next startup.
