That seems doubtful since it's not happening on airplugs in other planes. Sure a third party could have failed as well, but Boeing's currently suspect inspection standards are far more likely to fail (if true and with the incentive to cut costs as much as possible) than a 3rd party whose sole reason for survival/earnings is to get paid for doing inspections. I trust greed more than I trust a "gentlemen's agreement" to do the right thing.
Army Veteran here. I had mild PTSD after my one tour. It's resolved now.

Now I work in tech (SWE and now Engineering Manager) at a SF startup.

I'm sorry you're going through this. Feel free to contact me at jacobmarble at gmail.

We moved from Southern California to the Idaho mountains a few years ago, because working for BigCo in BigCity was numbing. After the fun I had in college, and the intensity of the Army, it's easy to get bored and distracted by the beige walls and brutal politeness of everything since. The mountains have helped a lot, and I still get to work in tech.
I'm much less concerned with comments, than with posts which don't have downvotes. This means a great story with narrow focus will have a small number of votes similar to a content-less one in an area of general appeal (aka noise).

The thing I keep coming to HN for are those deep stories in things that I don't normally read about, but are written and discussed in a manner that keeps me reading and learning.
I would suggest reading "So Good They Can't Ignore You" and specifically the part about making diagonal career changes instead of restarting from scratch.

https://www.amazon.com/Good-They-Cant-Ignore-You/dp/14555091...

The short version is: Don't think of it as "get out of tech." Think, how can I move into a career that builds on what I already have in terms of skills and so forth, but has a very different day to day experience.
Brit here. I left the UK in large part due to Brexit. Luckily I've so far had professional enough employment overseas (Germany) that I am able to do so, but I feel terrible for the 20 year olds back home who don't have skills and who can't just bugger off and wash dishes in Europe like I did when I was their age. Others?

I don't have PTSD, but do struggle with other health complications.

Focusing on the aspects of your health you can control (diet, exercise, to at least some extent sleep) won't cure you, but it'll make it easier to cope with the problems you have.

If you haven't already, by the way, look into melatonin. I get a couple of bottles of the liquid from a company in the US called Pure Nootropics, and a 0.25ml under the tongue every evening really helps me fall asleep and stay asleep.
And yet the food supply is fine, so when exactly do you predict this "loan" will come due exactly, and what separates you from all the other people who discredited themselves with such predictions in the past?

Well you can always do IT style tech work for a non-tech company. You will still easily solve 90% of their problems because it's configuring gmail or adding a form to a Wordpress site or getting a printer to work.
What deserves recognition is that they have a clear and concise communication about this.
this is really cool, can’t wait to try it out for some ML pipeline development. kudos myles and akshay!
Wow.. Really great work, finally someone is doing it!

Since I've thought about this for a long time (I've actually even made a very simplified version last year [1]), I want to contribute a few thoughts:

- cool that you have a Vscode extension, but I was a little disappointed that it opens a full browser view instead of using the existing, good Notebook interface of Vscode. (I get you want to show the whole Frontend- But I'd love to be able to run the Reactive Kernel within the full Vscode ecosystem.. Included Github Copilot is cool, but that's not all)

- As other comments said, if you want to go for reproducibility, the part about Package Management is very important. And it's also mostly solved, with Poetry etc...

- If you want to go for easy deployment of the NB code to Production, another very cool feature would be to extract (as a script) all the code needed to produce a given cell of output! This should be very easy since you already have the DAG.. It actually even existed at some point in VSCode Python extension, then they removed it

Again, great job

Echo still syncs with AnyList fwiw.

I have an Alexa list called “Grocery” that does a 2-way sync, and use it to accelerate my online Safeway orders via AnyList.

You can sync to the default Amazon Shopping list too, but I find it works better if you have a secondary one specifically for sync.
What you’re describing sounds a lot like early/partial retirement. The effect of changing careers could have a similar impact financially too. So probably the same kind of principles you’d use when retiring apply here. The challenge is that you still have big expenses/dependents.

Government help seems worth pursuing if you aren’t already. You may consider changing locale to cut living expenses or to arrange your life around your biggest expenses. Could refinance or get a home equity loan to float you while you look for a new path.

But I’m no finance expert and I’ve never retired or changed careers.

Overall the constraints here are probably financial. So your hard constraints are likely going to be what dictate your options. It might help to find a financial advisor to help put your constraints into clear terms so you can see what your options are.

Best of luck; I hope you can find some peace of mind and/or hope from some of the comments in this thread. Take care~
> I'm resisting the urge to call them Mac Objectivists. They program in Objectivist-C, naturally.

I don't know what you've seen, but as an Objective-C programmer myself, and one who knows quite a few others, we tend to be disgruntled against Apple now rather than fanbois.
Siri is objectively worse in almost every way imaginable. I find that hard to believe. I have both an iPhone and a work Pixel Pro, the difference between them is night and day. Siri can’t get basic spelling right, let alone accomplish complex tasks. To date it does not hold context at all, GA is far better in that regard.

Somewhat old but still holds true imho.
I've been in the same boat. IMHO you need rest. Having PTSD or any anxiety related disorder is like having dodgy knees. If you hurt them running, it is best mot to run and instead get some physio.

Your brain is more complex than knees (sadly) and so it is even more important to get rest and physio when strain happens.

In this case physio is therapy. Take the weight off your knees. Stop trying to run. Heal up. Go slow. Regain stamina slowly. Walk. Then run.

It may not be ideal, it may result in lower income, but that's life. You don't need to give up a certain career path or get out of tech.

Move to engineering management, join a gov org, move to something slow moving like defense. Something so encumbered with legislation that the whole thing moves slow. Incidentally those are the areas of tech that often change the least, helping get off that treadmill.
Apparently getting acquired by Bending Spoons is a guarantee for layoffs[1]:

- In September 2022, Bending Spoons acquired FiLMiC... In December 2023, the original FiLMiC team were laid off

- In November 2022, Bending Spoons agreed to acquire Evernote... Evernote laid off all of its existing staff

- In January 2024, Bending Spoons acquired Mosaic Group, a mobile app developer. The acquisition also involved the layoff of all 330 existing staff

It doesn't read from files unfortunately, but https://openobserve.ai/ is very easy to set up locally (single binary) and send otel logs/metrics/traces to.

Here's how I run it locally for my little shovel project - https://github.com/bbkane/shovel#run-the-webapp-locally-with... .

Also linked from that README is an Ansible playbook to start OpenObserve as a systems service on a Linux VM.

Alternatively, see the shovel codebase I linked above for a "stdout" TracerProvider. You could do something like that to save to a file, and then use a tool to prettify the JSON. I have a small script to format json logs at https://github.com/bbkane/dotfiles/blob/2df9af5a9bbb40f2e101...
“In a world steeped in irrational hatreds which threaten civilization itself, is it not curious that men and women-old and young-detach themselves wholly or partly from the angry current of daily life to devote themselves to the cultivation of beauty, to the extension of knowledge, to the cure of disease, to the amelioration of suffering, just as though fanatics were not simultaneously engaged in spreading pain, ugliness, and suffering?”

I actually think this helps me understand the sentence better. The use of “fact” is not necessary, and an example of a filler word. When I look at the sentence, it isn’t the length of the sentence, but the amount I had to parse. Taking out that word and reworking the sentence slightly made things clear to me.
Strangely the UK, which has a no formal constitution and an unimaginable number "gentleman's agreement" parliamentary traditions - with absolutely no recourse for political malfeasance - has faired remarkably well for hundreds of years. The entire system is built on the notion that "the next leader will probably not undermine the entire system". It's only really faced a couple of real internal systemic threats throughout its history and was (until the last decade) considered a bastion of political stability.
Reading comments like that, if they are not loaded questions or trolling in disguise, really saddens me. How out of touch some people are that even in the face of raw numbers and interpretations they come up with "but what if people are just lazier now ?". It's like reading climate change deniers routine.

For me, yes... when I'm thinking about words (spoken or written) I think in those words but otherwise not.
More specifically, it's a disingenuous argument brought up by oil lobbyists.

It's directly comparable to gun nuts justifying their right to own weapons designed to murder people by claiming that it's for "protection". Those same people have zero interest in better door locks, stronger windows, or anything that would actually protect them. They just want the guns. The protection argument was never made in good faith, it's an excuse at best.

The "wind generators kill birds" argument is the same type of thing, typically made by people that would cheerfully feed every native bird they can into a grinder and sell the pulp for a profit if they could.
I cannot figure out why they documented such a thing, it's too amateurish - just do the standard operating procedure and let the military industrial complex friends and allies of america use the service and keep it under the rug

I normally have a very dim view of OpenAI/Altman but in this case I wonder if is something akin to a warrant canary, except for 5th generation warfare?

Altman does seem to have a bit of Chomsky in him, so it's not impossible.
I remember, before GPUs, that using 32 (i386) bits instead of the FPU for fast 3D operations was common.
I think that the employees of OpenAI (generally speaking) made a pretty loud statement during that board fiasco that their interest is whatever maximizes their personal financial return.
I’ve had this as a pinned tab in my browser for many years. Probably the only thing that has stayed the same in my browser over that time.
Man, I feel for you. I'm fortunate in that I'm able to retire out of tech. It wasn't always this bad. Companies didn't used to be so scared to death that they were going to hire the "wrong" person - which has led to long chains of interviews and decision paralysis. I'm hearing that 8 or 9 rounds of interviews for a position isn't unusual anymore. In the late 80s, mid 90s it wasn't unusual to get hired right there on the spot after an hour or two of interviewing.

As for advice... I'm not sure what to tell you. I think if I were in my 30s at this point I'd look into being an electrician. The pay is pretty good and there will be plenty of work. And it's not likely to be automated for at least another 20 years.
This is very cool. I think I need to play around with this a bit more to wrap my head around the reactivity element, but the basic shift of ipynb to standard Python would be such a huge workflow improvement for my team. We use jupyter notebooks when prototyping and trying to code review unwieldy python-in-JSON is miserable. Great to see an alternative that's worked its way around that.
I'm not dying for them to record more than absolutely necessary, but I really hope all the voice ui engineers do log curses to know when their app is doing annoying stuff. The number of times these things screw up I definitely get really spicy and hope that feedback makes it back.
Marketers use the term channel to describe a way to reach an audience: social media platforms, SEO content, content marketing, ads, podcasting, etc.

That doesn't sound like it's quite "working" yet, then -- especially if, as some of the mailing list posts suggest, it's crashing randomly during builds. Good to hear that's being worked on, though; the writing is clearly on the wall for i386.

I wholeheartedly agree. While Elisp may not be the best Lisp, it's still very much good enough to give you superpowers when you need them.
The guy does not claim to be an ML researcher, looks more like a Computer Architecture person, so the fact that you never heard of him does not make him a nobody or mean anything really.

No ideas have been around "forever", things that may seem obvious to you now often cost other people years of research to come up with. The better the idea, the more obvious it typically appears in hindsight.

If Jeff Dean was aware of the work as the Register article states, it probably was significant, and hopefully Google will pay the inventor for his ideas.

The internet's full of garbage. All that'll find me is a mountain of people who don't understand what they are talking about shouting very loudly.

I'm not going to waste my time sifting through it to find evidence for a claim you're making.

Make a specific claim of corruption, and provide evidence for it.
That's for the country. Then they divide by population and claim everyone is $1,000 poorer. The elite class would reap the benefits and the poorer class would have wages kept even lower.

If everyone including corporation's wealth were equally shared then yes you are correct. But in reality it's the opposite.

If the rich could import unlimited people wages would go to almost nothing. The economy would grow because the country as a whole would grow. But it makes the average person worse off.
Yada yada yada - can you straightforwardly create LLMs with it?
The real crazy stuff isn't the grenade-bombing drones; it's FPV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pe5RvttOs-E. They have pretty much replaced guided anti-tank missiles for both sides because of how much cheaper they are, and the ability to easily fly around and hit where the armor is thinnest, or even inside the vehicle, before exploding; they can also fly inside trenches, bunkers, and other emplacementes.

DJI FPV ($1k retail) supposedly has about 1 in 3 chance of taking out a moving tank that is not a sitting duck - i.e. hatches closed etc - and does not expose the operator to danger in the process. For comparison, a single Javelin is $240k. FPV drones are cheap enough that they're routinely used even against minor targets such as unarmored small cars and even individual soldiers - even after accounting for failures before a successful hit, it still ends up costing the enemy a lot more in $$$ than was spent on all the drones.
how does this compare to https://electric-sql.com/
When Amazon echo came out, all the flaws of voice assistant were visible and it looked like a glorified kitchen timer but it's surprising how little they improved over the years. Nonetheless Google executives rushed to copy Alexa.

At the same time the same executives did not incorporate LLMs into the Assistant when Google invented the tech.

These layoffs should've fired all those dead-weight executives and the CEO for good measure yet we see the rank and file losing their job

Correct. Those have been available for ages, but there's a mask ROM on the CPU that is undumpable, at least at this time. I have a huge collection of datasheets and I was unable to even figure out what the instruction set was.
Inflation: according to several calculators online, $100 in 2003 is roughly $170 (rounding up) in 2023 dollars. So 70% over 20 years. Meanwhile Case-Shiller has grown 123% over the same period.

Interest rate: in 2003 the interest rate was in the high 5's. Today it's in the mid 6's. So let's call it a wash.[1]

What I'm saying is, today someone is buying the same house, at roughly the same interest rate as someone twenty years ago except that today 1) the house is twenty years older, 2) it's also about 30% more expensive after adjusting for inflation.

I grant that means the person needs fewer than 2x the resources, but my point still stands.

No it doesn't. You can have capitalism in a world where growth is zero or negative, nothing much happens except the world getting slightly worse (a recession).

I use it to allow a ?next={url} query parameter in the redirect so I can send users to the page they originally wanted to visit. It becomes more important the faster the access tokens expire because a user can reauth multiple times in a session.
