You said you have aphantasia, then you listed a number of ways in which you can mentally process images, so I couldn't really understand what you were missing. Then I went and did the aphantasia test, and apparently I have hypophantasia, so I guess that explains it.

I wonder if there's a link between engineering skills and aphantasia, given the prevalence of the "programmer art" meme?
Why do you need to convert "goes against their principles" to "doesn't like" to make your argument? Is it because it is a weak argument without twisting words?

> Civil aviation is beer money to Boeing. They make the brunt of the money in military. That’s also where the margins are

You haven't been keeping track I presume. Boeing is bleeding money on recent military contracts like the Air Force One Replacement or the KC-46, because they're on a fixed price structure and Boeing drastically underestimated the costs involved.

So much so that for the replacement of the NEACP ("Doomsday Planes") Boeing withdrew from bidding because they refuse to get into another fixed price military programme, knowing they can't predict costs for shit and will lose a lot of money. They're only interested in costs+ contracts, which nobody seems to be willing to give them.
Not a strawman: older windmills not on stalks did kill birds, particularly raptors.

It’s seemed pretty clear that since the stalk approach was adopted (probably not even with birds in mind, I suppose, people being people) that the birds were doing better: you could tell by just walking under them. But it’s worth doing studies like this to move from anecdote to data. And even better when they refute obsolete knowledge.

Sure! If you’re going to start with the financial value of any company, begin with their net income, growth trajectory, dividend yield, etc. Observe that none of this includes media headlines.

After that, you can start to try and figure how where most of the money comes from. For Apple this is the iPhone hardware sales and the App Store tax. For Microsoft it’s split roughly evenly across cloud, business processes and PCs. Cloud is the biggest.

These are the basic fundamental facts that begin to describe why Microsoft may or may not be valued. I don’t care or have an opinion on it. But I’m irritated by some guy saying he heard four media headlines ergo shame on wall st. for trading based on those four headlines. Like shut the fuck up man. That’s such a stupid claim. And look how many people have been suckered into responding to this garbage.
You are dodging the issue with this. These financial services you name have been available throughout my nearly 60 year life. In the past they were no where near as profitable and represented a much smaller slice of the economy. In the last 10-20 years there has been huge growth in the financial sector such that it is taking in much more money and represents a much larger portion of the economy. Was there really any genuine growth in service, or is this just a tumor on markets growing as it can? Looks a lot more like that latter.

And there appears to be a considerable amount of damage being done. Socially debt is considered an important obligation such that walking away from a loan is terrible not only for credit but also social standing and status. Yet financial services have grown to the point that they have a great ability to predict ability to pay and to use that to make loans that they know quite well will very likely never be paid back. Exactly what percentage of recent financial growth is essentially fraudulent activity?
I think they’re talking about the pilot being able to apply inputs that might otherwise be considered dangerous by the flight control computers.

So in an emergency a Boeing may allow the pilots to make an input that may overstress the airframe but save the lives of the passengers. Whereas the Airbus computer would override the pilot’s decision and not allow it.

IANAP so I have no idea if that’s true or not.

It looks a lot less like "cognitive dissonance" and more like "bad faith arguments from fossil fuel industry-linked groups" when you dig a bit.

That explains why researches were nolonger looking for large settlements in the area, but it explains nothing about how basing this decision off of the evidence at hand is "eurocentric". Making a decision based on current evidence is rational. It may mean missing out in some cases, but it is a reasonable choice and has nothing to do with what continent or culture one originates from.
In my experience reliance on feature flags tends to turn any application into a mess of interwoven state. Feature flags are hardly ever removed and unintentionally creep more and more into the development future features as they depend on older features guarded by flags. If you use feature flags you must have a process of deprecating them to maintain sanity in the codebase.
And vendor lock-in. Airlines have invested in education for their pilots and maintenance employees, and in Boeing specific maintenance equipment.

> this gave them the luxury of building these companies into powerhouses that didn't have much competition to worry about and that could be idealistic and also wasteful. But this advantage eroded after several decades so it eventually became more important to maximize profitability and this required (or facilitated) someone like Welch.

You've got it backwards. The current state of US business is ideologically driven and wasteful. Two economies that were wrecked during WWII -- Germany and Japan -- are less shareholder driven than the US and therefore actually able to produce quality goods and services.

> I've never understood the problem with (L)GPL code on iOS devices. Sure, users don't have the possibility to replace the code on that platform. But the restriction is not imposed by the people distributing the code, but by external circumstances (Apple).

That seems very forest-for-the-trees. It's true, but it mistakes a micro-statement of a problem (the app vendor isn't "at fault" for the LGPL violation) with the actual problem (copyleft code of any kind is effectively impossible on the most popular mobile platform in the industrial world).

The bottom line is that it's not possible to distribute a binary containing *GPL code on iOS in any way remotely in keeping with the letter of the license. People do it anyway because this code is important and useful. But Apple has effectively banned the license and that's always going to lead to friction like this.

> ...if they had previously received a report of a violation and did not resolve it..

"Resolve it" would include working with the offender to remove the LGPL violation. They could easily document the process and demonstrate a good-faith effort to comply.

Sure, Unity is well within their rights to kick Videolan off their store. It's the cheapest way to comply: no need to collaborate with store vendors and put any hours into that sort of thing.

But that's all it is, a cheap way to comply. It's the laziest form of compliance at the expense of their own customer experience.

All that is also true. In both cases, it's not about the quality of the engineer or the work.

Also, sociopaths exist and they are often in management.

But in both cases, the key insight is that layoffs are often past the control of the engineer.
There's literally nothing about economics in what I wrote/quoted.

That said, if you can figure out how to decouple planetary economic growth - as in, people's lives on the planet getting better, which is the point of having an economy at all, I guess - from planetary energy production growth, I'm listening. I've yet to see an economy-rich energy-poor country; I know that past performance does not predict future results, but we can comfortably say that people need to consume energy in advanced economies to move themselves and goods around, to heat homes and to run their factories and there are certain theoretical thermodynamic efficiency limits to all those things. In some cases, we already have technology operating close to those limits.

Right, that’s true on the “higher repair costs” side of the original post, but I’m talking about the “market prices have gone down so we have to recognize bigger losses on salvage” aspect later in the post, which is caused by changes in fair market value and doesn’t have to do with the cost of repairs.

The problem is asserting that wall st behaves according to the four media headlines that he read; and then encouraging people to pass a moral judgment on them on that premise.

Cookie banners predate the GDPR, and were initially a response to the ePrivacy Directive of 2002: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPrivacy_Directive

While the GDPR has added additional restrictions, the basic framework is still in force: you can't store information client-side (cookies, localStorage etc) unless (a) it is "strictly necessary" to fulfill a user request or (b) you get user consent. All the cookies above look to me like they don't meet that bar; the site seems to still fulfill my requests with cookies disabled.

Why do you assume out of hand they would be low quality? We see in other industries, such as the Chinese military industry, that they are capable of producing a lot of high quality air frames. Their stealth J-20 has never had an accident in the 13 years it's been flying and they are building 120 per year, and flying them tens of thousands of hours per year.

You can look at other models. Their Xian Y-20 freighter has also never had an accident and flies tens of thousands of hours per year.

This isn't 1992 anymore where the only things coming out of China are plastic molded injection crap.

Life's quite good at that.

Civilisations though...
I wonder why lol. Although I will say that some of the issues that Lockheed Martin has had with the JSF and Littoral Combat Ships is that the military is asking them to build something far too complex. The whole module thing never worked out and that seems obvious. I think instead they should have tried for a couple of specific designs that served specific roles instead of building a single ship or plane that could do lots of things poorly while bleeding too much money.

Disclaimer: I'm just guessing at all of this. I'm no expert. Not even an armchair.
Anyone working on LLM tools for enhancing data quality?
Big problem, let's break it down...

1. Data issue identification
2. Solution and implementation

Most issues are discovered in the data warehouse. Entity matching customer data across different systems, some business process results in duplicate, or null data. I know there are existing, non-LLM, products that do this. I'm curious to compare those with new LLM first products.

On solution/implementation. Ideally you're able to fix this in the source system, either in your SaaS tool or in the way you write production data. You can also fix this in the data warehouse, munging/ETL'ing the data. Seems like LLMs could help to 1) identify and recommend a change in an external system, 2) submit a PR to solve this in the data warehouse.

Anyone know anyone working on these problems?
Indeed. Cookies are incredibly useful for things the user really does want, like staying logged in across sessions/tabs.
Are these new changes with LGPL 2.1? I don’t remember it containing the modification and relinking restrictions in the past. It kind of defeats the purpose of the LGPL IMO.

As an aside, it really bugs me that the GPL morphed into this thing that gives developers the freedom to run privacy violating and user-abusing cloud services, but doesn’t allow manufacturers to ship the same stuff on physical (and perhaps offline) hardware the end users have physical control over.

When the GPL 3 added the anti-TiVo clause, it really should have also added AGPL’s anti-google clauses at the same time.

Anyway, I guess the above restriction means I won’t be using LGPL for stuff I write at work, even though most of what we do gets open sourced anyway.

Socialism is such a stupid argument because we pool our taxes for common things such as Transportation infrastructure, defense, port immigration, and other social benefits.

Australia charges 2% for medicare (I'm sure other countries have something similar). Because the money is pooled, they can negotiate prices for common procedures and medicine down.

I'd rather pay 2% extra tax for not having to deal with getting new insurance when I switch jobs. An x-ray shouldn't cost in $1000s.

Australia still has private insurance and special surgeons. The deal is that the 2% covers most common basic heathcare related things.

Imagine if we had to pay separate tax for going on each highway. Middlemen sitting and ripping off based on demand and supply. Getting billed for each highway use and having those bills come months later. Because it is so expensive to travel, we'd need highway and flight insurance.

That's the absurdity of US healthcare. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
