> At 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week - 10,000 hours of practice will take 250 full weeks to achieve. That’s about 5 years of nearly non-stop programming.

Isn't this basically a software job? Like, get a junior role and work your way up over 5 years doing 40 hrs a week.
Their LAM is actually a bit scary, why even develop mobile apps when they are just a human interface translation to a machine interface. The LAM will do it for you
I actually think at this point Google is scared to try any business that isn't ads. It's the only thing that's ever worked for them.
They're not the only country that "forgot" to keep building housing.
If you own anything that breaks during that year, you can probably recoup all that money by watching a YouTube video with instructions of how to fix it.

Edit for the angry down voting hackers: Try searching YouTube next time you have a problem with your vehicle or household appliance. There is usually somebody there who made a video showing you exactly how to fix it by yourself, so you don't have to buy a new one or pay somebody to fix it. There is no better resource AFAIK.
I expect to see dynamic, hybrid AI frameworks that let the same application run anywhere, with differing amounts of local compute depending on device capabilities.

Its the only way huge AI models can be latency and cost efficient across massively heterogeneous execution environments.

Sounds identical to our situation here in Canada.

In Canada, however, the discourse has leaned into blaming high immigration for this problem.

Comparing, however, Ireland has a reported 1.9 immigrants per 1000 people, vs Canada's 6. But sounds like comparable rent.

Social housing as a tool for managing the housing inventory is barely spoken about here. I barely even hear it from the (formerly) "social democratic" NDP.
Microsoft does enough evil and annoying shit these days I'd put a day or two towards seeing if I could get away with using wine, 2nd option using a VM, 3rd booting up windows partition.
It is a rapidly advancing field because it is young, so it makes sense that we’d accumulate a lot of ephemeral information.

It feels like we’re still in the alchemist days. Eventually the chemists will come along. They’ll systemize our ad-hoc observations and jettison a ton of them. Until then… Neuton was an alchemist and he still made some pretty big contributions.
While they might not charge you directly as a line item, you still get charged: Linode in the above list is what I use. I get a fixed cap of bandwidth each month. Anything beyond that is charged. So, you don't get charged IF you stay below the initial cap.
Couple thoughts:

The jitter is likely due to the suction pulling the air from the outside of the tubes, which then get pulled in the gap between the things - which does so in a buffeting fashion due to the movement of the pipes, so it finds the oscillation... (the tubes are a Foil - so you have to accomodate the flow diff on the external and internal of your receiving tube - and how the flows from the outside of the foil are a diff speed/flow/rate than the center of the tube - thus the light suction guy gets enough strength for the outside air to push it back - once it gets far enough from the horizontal tube, the pressure from the outside flow drops and the lever goes back to its resting position and begins again)

The other thing, as he mentioned eddys -- the inlet and outlet cones should be turbine-spiral shapes - as the air/fluid comes down the pipe, if you give it a spiraling/riffling it will keep the flow somewhat cohesive as it spins it.

Further, as a YT comment mentioned - stuffing a bunch of small straws in the main tube helps, because if you have a lot of smaller tubes - (especially with water) you can get the effective "orientation of the molocules" the same - so your stream can be more cohesive (this method was (invented?employed) by Disney Land Engineers when they were building the fountains that shoot clean, cohesive lasers of water.

They run the streams to the fountain through pipes that have a ton of staws inside - so the water gets orientated in such a way that when the stream leaves the nozzle, the water stays together.

Also - you can test all this in FluidX3d: https://github.com/ProjectPhysX/FluidX3D

" We are worried," says European rocket chief at prospect of launch competition
None of the creators I follow have any complaints with adblock users, in fact they encourage the use of adblock. They're not making much of their money from those ads, and they're pretty fed up with Google's abusive bs.

They make most of their money from things like channel memberships, which do not involve as much of having to deal with Google's many ways of robbing creators of their money when it comes to advertising.
The idea that one needs MIT-level training with SICP and AOCP is elitist and sickening. You start by writing small and useful tools that help you explore the language features. You compare your code to other people's code solving a similar problem. You look for ways to make it shorter, more readable, more efficient by reading SO and watching YouTube.
FAA should nationalize their inspection teams. Bill their salaries back to Boeing as a fee.
We went to France on these (Dover-Calais) about 30 years ago, I was roughly 10.

They were incredibly exciting, loud, bouncy machines. Huge spaces to drive into, they floated around like toys when maneuvering, made my mother very sea sick.

I loved it. My parents suffered them as it was before the tunnel and much faster than ferries.

As a child I wished we could do it all the time. As an adult it’s obvious why they didn’t take off. In even calm seas they were bouncy and we suffered delays that never stopped the ferries. The ferries offered more ports, nice restaurants, and cabins on the longer trips in western France or down to Spain. A far nicer way to travel. The hovercraft were like doing an NYC to NY trip on a WW2 DC3.

But, they were so much fun I’m glad to see them back. I wonder how they’ll do against the tunnel now.
I came to the realization that I'm using gpt more and more for getting my boilerplate code and I'm starting to feel a bit guilty about it tbh.

Maybe I shouldn't, though I justify it because it allows me to focus on the bespoke bits of whatever I'm doing...

Feels a bit double edged to me still.
- Doing searches that I know how to explain but don't have the right words for.

- If it returns something not quite, it typically gives me clues of what terms to use to find what I need

- Doing repetitive coding tasks

- It used to be much better about these but now, like others have said, it has gotten 'lazy' and tells you to fill in the rest

- For instance, having an API doc and an example method for how to integrate it, having it write out the rest

- One-off coding tasks that are simplistic and not fun to write

- "Take this format of CSV and transform it in X way then write out to JSON"

- Rubberducking

- If I have been banging my head against a wall, I'll explain to GPT what I am doing and it gives me suggestions for what to do in a numerical list, I'll run down them and then say something like "For #1, I got X, I think it might be Z. Can you dig a bit deeper on what you meant". I'd say that it steps me into a solution about 60 - 70% of the time and worst case, typically gets me going in a different direction

---

My suggestion if you want to keep going down this exploration is to not treat GPT as a co-worker but more of an encyclopedic intern. Don't give it complex open-ended tasks. Don't make it think too much. You have to spoonfeed it what you know and what you need from it. You might be giving it too broad or complex of a task for it to be useful.

I've never tested it without but wrap code in triple backticks to make it very clear that it is code. I even triple quote API docs or any external document I am giving it.

I think the people who think GPT is worthless just don't want to learn how to deal with it. Personally I think that is a parallel with people who refuse(d) to learn how to use Google and prefer(red) manually looking through books for the answer.

Also just as cover-my-ass to anyone reading it: I follow the protocol of if you wouldn't post it to StackOverflow, you shouldn't send it to GPT.
You forgot about the content creators. They use YouTube as a syndication service to get paid for their work.

I viscerally hate seeing the name of this company. It's gross. I have a strong sense memory, and it immediately triggers bad images and smells. My brain just does that.

Why on earth would they choose this name? Don't they know some nontrivial subset of their customers can't handle it?

I'm a CEO. I won't question what my team wants or needs if they make the case, but I'd really have a tough time stomaching a choice for this database vendor. I'd probably let them use it, but good god...

Incompetence. Take my friend’s company for instance. They were frustrated paying $60K/mo to Amazon so their brilliant sysadmin bought $600K of servers and moved them into a cheap colo.

Over Christmas, everything died, and the brilliant sysadmin was on holiday. Nobody could get things going again for many days and so their entire SaaS business was failing. They lost a lot of business and trust as a result.

The sysadmin is now gone and they are back on AWS.
And that's how they win...

These are all big deals and we should collectively and individually never allow ourselves to be pushed into apathy because it has become normalized.
It's not capitalism that brings IR of WWI its russian imperialism which tbh for the most part is same-same as communism.
Harold Dodge said "You can't inspect quality into a system". The father of quality assurance, Edward Deming, understood this when he taught quality control to companies in post war Japan. The US learned these lessons during WWII and promptly forgot them. Increasing inspections doesn't prevent screw ups, it only catches them. You're still wasting money and time on mistakes, some of which will still go undetected by inspection. Just like you can't unit test quality into a crappy dev team. Quality is a cultural value that's built into the system and Boeings culture seems to be garbage.
I would echo the advice of using a test framework. An alternative would be a browser extension, and using that to query the element ids while manually visiting each site.

The requirement to make it not tied to a Google account rules out what would be my preferred method of getting these via the YT API.

I think there are some open source git repos that already do what you're asking (e.g. https://github.com/egbertbouman/youtube-comment-downloader) but I haven't personally tried any of these.
First, a platform with millions of posts from millions of users could not be further from small Web with its self-published, crafted websites.

Second, this law is precisely what makes it possible to run a social platform and not have an army of lawyers.

Without DMCA safe harbor protection, Nitter could be sued to oblivion the first time they are caught distributing infringing material. Big corporations with armies of lawyers and moderates could maybe afford the legal costs, but if you are just a few guys… you’d never run a website where people can post freely.

Under safe harbor, however, copyright owners can’t sue you, and in return you promise to timely hide content when you are notified. If you can’t be bothered to even do that, perhaps you should not run a platform focused on UGC in the first place. Everyone does it, even 4chan.
Boeing to increase quality inspections of 737 MAX
> Not all volcanos are the type that explode. While there are classes/type of volcano, in reality each is a bespoke situation. It would be an oversimplification to directly compare Iceland to Pompeii.

You're right, the volcano may not explode, but by being AN ACTIVE VOLCANO, it still has many ways to kill people...

The article pictures with the RED HOT LAVA tells me it's a bad idea to stay, but if they want to, sure!

After all, we need more dramatic wikipedia articles about a single person surviving in a city that previously housed thousands!
Well, Qualcomm at least claims that. Whether they can deliver is to be seen. Wouldn't be the first time they fail to do so...
Interesting point but this raises the question. Does negative awareness about product counts today as marketing success?
Fired? Fired for murder?

Also time doesn’t matter, they should have named records for the lifespan of the plane. Everything else is just destruction of evidence. We need every culprit of the 500+ deaths, or else Boeing has not improved a bit in quality.
As a game developer, I definitely distinguish high-risk and low-risk parts of the code base.

There's code that can be allowed to fail, and furthermore, it will eventually fail due to the sheer amount of this code, the development time constraints, the number of possible game states, etc. I don't care that this code rarely fails under some arcane conditions, because this simply causes some button to stop working, some NPC to stop moving, but the game will remain playable. Even if the player notices the bug, they'll just shrug and keep playing. My aim is to make sure that the game recovers and returns to a healthy state after the level/save is reloaded. (Obviously, I'd like to fix/avoid every single possible bug, but it's impossible in practice. You'll have more luck continuously tracking in your head how dangerous the code you're working on is. Also, you rarely have the luxury of being the only programmer on the team. Bugs will happen.)

The other kind of code is the core game system stuff, the low level stuff, the error handling stuff, the memory stuff, the pointer stuff. You must pay special attention while working on this code, because failures will straight up crash the process or bring the game into an irrecoverably broken state (eg. all objects stop updating, stuck in some menu, the player never respawns...). Bugs like these are also highly prioritized by management. My update loop needs to be shiny.

Such is the reality of working on complex systems (or simple object-oriented programs ;))
I think one of the beauties of programming is that you can be self taught. It doesn't necessarily help on a corporate ladder though, who maybe expect some certificates.
> the principle of charity or charitable interpretation requires interpreting a speaker's statements in the most rational way possible and, in the case of any argument, considering its best, strongest possible interpretation

note that this doesn't mean "at face value".
If the only programming you do is generic commercial work, you won't get very good, especially if it's at the same job or on the same kind of project.

You can learn more about programming by giving yourself new and challenging projects at home. Doing both personal and professional work is the fastest way to progress while learning lessons from both. (commercial work teaches you the "professional" side of software engineering, which has almost nothing to do with programming)

This is better than most "periodic tables" in that the periodicity in it actually represents something real: there actually are (conveniently!) 18 infinite families of finite simple groups (corresponding to the 18 columns in a standard periodic table), some of which are related to one another in ways that somewhat justify putting them next to one another in a table like this; one family (the cyclic groups of prime order) really are different from all the others, to an extent comparable to how different the noble gases are from the other elements; etc.
Why? Just because cockroaches are gross?
All of what you just said is an exact modern version of the same shortcuts. Net difference is probably minimal whether you had a crap book or watched a pile of YT in short order or short cut through someone else's project, or SO.

Comprehension takes time. Thinking for yourself, making smart architectural decisions, working in an ambiguous stack, and so on.

The nature of the shortcut for experience is the same. Experience crushes anything you learned elsewhere. My best engineers are senior engineers with a fuck load of experience for a reason.
It probably depends a lot on company culture and possibly what OSes the devs are using. Pretty much every dev in our 20+ team has it installed, as there are not many editors on Windows have equivalent editing features and are so snappy to use. However, the free trial version is not strictly permitted for corporate use, so we might be losing it soon.

30 years on a design lifespan of 100+ years. If it were a 99 year lease on like the disaster that is the 407 I'd agree with you, but in this case the contract is well short of lifespan.
No but Boeing want the public to read things that will reassure them their safety is Boeing’s first priority, until they’ve forgotten about the recent accident.
Something. that would align incentives correctly should be done. But it's a complex issue: nationalizing inspections will cause an increase in the lobbying budget in an attempt at more regulatory capture, unless management culture changes, too.
Then perhaps that says all we need to know about the value of these services. $15 a month isn’t nothing but is pretty cheap as far as bills go

Can’t get over the sentence “Finally some folks with IQs in the triple digits got into the act”. I think the author’s point was “finally some [geniuses]”, but average IQ is 100 by definition. It’s even funnier though if their point indeed is “finally some [people of not-worse-than-average IQ]”.
Discourse is popular and pretty good. I think Zulip could be better, but less popular.
> £12.99 a month (£155.88 a year) for one website is very hard to justify when you're on very little income

They are positioning YouTube as a super-premium product (relative to other streaming services). An underlying takeaway might be that advertisers no longer value users "on very little income" in a positive real-rate environment.
> In Germany we have no spot that can not be reached via car and foot in a day.

I know this story was about Idaho that has, at least today, relatively fewer places that are completely inaccessible. But if you go to Alaska, there's enough territory that's inaccessible by car that is 3x the size of all of Germany (that is, I think there's well over 1 million square kilometers of inaccessible places in Alaska).

The lower 48 is much less so, especially today. Still if you get up into the mountains, in the crazy wetland areas (parts of Florida everglades, parts of extreme north Minnesota, etc), it can get impossible to traverse by car, and very difficult by foot.

Friday, January 12, 2024 - https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/faa-increasing-oversight-boeing...

> WASHINGTON, D.C. — After taking decisive and immediate action to ground approximately 171 Boeing 737-9 MAX planes, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) today announced new and significant actions to immediately increase its oversight of Boeing production and manufacturing. These actions come one day after the FAA formally notified Boeing that the FAA has launched an investigation into the company as a result of last Friday’s incident on a Boeing Model 737-9 MAX in which the aircraft lost a passenger door plug while in flight.

> ...

https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/updates-grounding-boeing-737-ma...

> This incident should have never happened and it cannot happen again. FAA formally notified Boeing that it is conducting an investigation to determine if Boeing failed to ensure completed products conformed to its approved design and were in a condition for safe operation in compliance with FAA regulations. This investigation is a result of an incident on a Boeing Model 737-9 MAX where it lost a “plug” type passenger door and additional discrepancies. Boeing’s manufacturing practices need to comply with the high safety standards they’re legally accountable to meet. The letter is attached.

> The safety of the flying public, not speed, will determine the timeline for returning the Boeing 737-9 Max to service.
