16GB for $330. The price is about the same as an Arc A770 16GB, and about 66% of a 4060 Ti 16GB.

That's potentially compelling.

I'd love to see benchmarks and compatibility for PyTorch, llama, Stable Diffusion, etc. I assume it's still a train wreck, but if AMD can get it's software stack in shape, that'd be very, very competitive.
Exactly what I meant, thanks

Thanks for the perspective. It gave more insights into this reality, much appreciated.

I work in an industry with conceptually similar safety challenges and some similar solutions, and I think I have a rough idea about the pervasive breakdown of engineering and leadership culture you need to produce an outcome like the original MCAS troubles, which I studied in more detail than the more recent issues. I see in my work processes play out that kill off bad ideas in the stages where they are meant to be weeded out.

Even knowing the extensive QA apparatus and the level of experience in the aviation industry, no, I would personally not.
Avoiding the airline with the best safety record in the world in order to avoid their 737-8200s is probably not a statistically sound decision.
The issue is that the audience of legit scholarship is neither the public nor "decision makers" nor academic administrators. It's other researchers. The system works fine (more or less) for actual scholars working on advancing their fields. It's just that a scam industry has been built up for the benefit of the other various stakeholders who actually have no business relying on communications that are not meant for them.
Honestly I find Python's value vs. reference semantics fairly confusing, and it's not always obvious whether an operation is going to make a copy or modify an existing instance of an object. Good API design and docstrings mitigate this, but it's one more source of complexity to think about. I run into this much less frequently in C++ code - it's normally pretty clear from parameter and return types whether I'm dealing with a copy or a reference.

This might just be because C++ broke my brain into assuming:

Object foo = other_object;

is a copy operation, and taking a reference or pointer would require extra characters (e.g. copy by default). Most other languages are the opposite: assignment creates a reference by default, and making a copy would require extra characters (e.g. .copy() in Python or .clone() in Java). That's my biggest mental adjustment when moving back-and-forth between C++ and Python.
> These papers are the tools by which fraudsters advance up the acaddemic ladder. As a result, billions of public money get diverted to fund this fakers rather than actual science and scientists.

That sounds pretty clearly harmful to the scientific community.
I think that a good way to do this would be a triple-poison pill approach. Google et. al. are capable of policing the advertisements on it's platform, there is just not the business will to do it.

The triple poison pill approach:
* Every user-report of a scam ad must be reviewed by an independent barred lawyer for a minimum of 15 minutes of actual time.

* If a person (institution, etc) with a public image is shown in the scam ad, they must be notified and should the advertiser and platform should share joint liability.

* If a person falls for a scam, they should have recourse against the platform and the advertiser.
Instruct (pun not intended) your relatives to always hang up and call you back and use something from your past as a test. Some story from your life that is family-only knowledge. And explain that you aren’t the type who gets into “money situations”, and that in general “money from relatives now, or else” is not how even the less legal part of the world works.

[Grand]parents take it seriously because they don’t usually know anything about these extremities to counter the scammer pressure. Information is fortification.

Also add them to do-not-disturb bypass list if not yet.
Why? Ryanair has perhaps not the best seats and service offering in general, but they have never had a accident and is considered a very safe airline.
Yes, I would remain silent. "Backbone" in that situation means either collecting data for a possible lawsuit or else having the spine to know when you aren't wanted. Now, this video just makes her employment prospects bleaker.

My last flight on an Embraer was in turbulent weather and at one point the plane dropped a good bit in a downdraft and when the wings caught us there was a tremendous bang that went through the entire plane. Suddenly I wanted to be on the ground in the worst way, it wasn't a sound I like to hear an airplane make when I'm riding in it...

The progression is natural (it also leads to "code golf", lambda calculus/SKI, etc.): almost everyone learns to ride vehicles with three wheels, most people learn to ride vehicles with two, so why not continue the minimisation to one? (zero wheels would normally be considered too degenerate to be practical, but maybe some hacker may eventually come up with the pedal-powered hovercraft? How about fractional wheels [or is this just a penny farthing]? imaginary wheels?)

How do you know the risk is low? There isn’t that much data on Boeing 737 Max, and one cannot apply data from other models to this specific 737.
This is going to get worse (better) outside of YouTube too...

Imagine a scammer calling grandma and recording a few minutes of her voice, and then using that to generate a fake voice to scam you in realtime.

I imagine that we'll need to come up with safe words or security questions to verify we're talking to our own families at some point. People in high risk scenarios already do this sometimes... they'll have a distress signal that indicates to someone on the other side of the call that they're in trouble "don't forget to feel Wolfie" when their dog's name is Rex or something.
Thanks for the advice! Will consider.
> Rust echosystem is a disaster and i think that this might be one of the reasons for its slow adoption.

Although I'm no expert in Rust, I've been learning it and this seems accurate to me. It's one of the reasons why, at least right now, I wouldn't consider using Rust for any real project of mine. It would be like building a castle on sand.
YouTube still has an brand image to uphold for users. Scam ads make it look cheap.
I'm just glad AMD seems to have sorted most of the issues with RDNA3 on linux. It's now worth it to consider the 7800 XT as a good upgrade path, if the price is right.

Wendell from level1techs/level1linux has shown the 7600XT as a good cheap AI card due to it's higher VRAM compared to other similar cards.

The review is very favorable as a decent card for linux users:

I think it's more how the incentives in the system are set up. Unless the incentives change (publish or perish, gatekeeping journals, etc.), then nothing will change.
> Revised regulations that incentive smaller cars would solve a lot of problems.

I agree wholeheartedly, but the change in the CAFE standards had another effect that was just as important: it allowed Ford and GM to get out of the market for actual cars (sedans, coupes, and station wagons) almost entirely. Changing back to the CAFE standards from 2007 would probably decimate their current business model, and the political backlash would be severe.
I was just in Australia and went to an Emu park. On our way to the Emus the guide showed off a Bowerbird nest. The birds go around picking up shiny things like bits of glass or metal to decorate their nest to attract females. Rival birds will go stealing the best bits from other birds' nests causing fights. Heck, even if a human just rearranges some of their bits of flair in the pile, they'll notice and put it back in its place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vpeZWNYoWU

It's not even a human thing, this is a fundamental thing that animals like to do. Try to get the best, shiniest stuff to show off how much better you are than the other mate. We've just managed to use our intelligence to manipulate each other into influencing what is seen as more or less shiny.

Of possible interest here, I wrote Scheme for Max, which lets you use S7 Scheme in side Max, and hence, inside Lisp. I use it to make Max for Live devices in Scheme!

It's fantastic for controlling the Live API because the way the Live API works is you identify things you want to control with lists of symbols. This is far more pleasant in Scheme than either in Max, JS, or Python (your other options in Live, though Python is not officially supported for non-device vendors).

While Live has many warts, and I wouldn't want it to be my only DAW (I also use Reaper), the Live API lets you do things you can't come close to any other pro audio software (yes, including bitwig and reaper). Being able to have my sequencers interface with the entire app is incredibly powerful.

My point wasn't that C wasn't hardware friendly. My point was that it doesn't teach you "how a computer really works". It teaches you a lower-level abstraction than Python does, but it's still an abstraction, and there's a ton of mechanisms at work that you can't see.
In the current market, it's the only way many millennials and zoomers will ever own a home.
exactly my point aswell, or atleast that it cannot be limited to AWS
I have semi-jokingly suggested that air travel is actually too safe.

That is, we accept far far higher risks in other areas of our life because it would be too inconvenient and/or too expensive to solve. How much positive impact would occur if we loosened air travel safety controls?

Caution that I suggest this and a thought exercise; not an actual suggestion.

Air travel just gets more newspaper headlines than “drunk driver kills family in accident”

I don't think that's the problem. The problem is "publish or perish" and the fact that survival and job advancement depend on quantity over quality of publications. That drives a huge demand to be published, and the purpose of getting published is not to advance science but to get more bullet points on an a C.V.
I should probably write a longer post about this, but scrapscript is an attempt to fix a lot of the "in-between" problems in software engineering.

Instead of working on "real" problems, I find myself battling untyped/undocumented YAML/JSON configurations, syncing JSON encoders/decoders, massaging incompatible dependencies, writing unholy SQL, etc.

I obviously don't have all the answers, but a system with the following properties seems like a worthwhile pursuit: (1) small enough to be used like JSON yet powerful enough to used like Javascript, (2) cryptographic guarantees that code is compatible over time, (3) a compiler that checks live servers for compatibility before deploying, (4) simple but expressive type system, (5) a package manager that facilitates all of this at a granular level... and so on.

On top of all that, I think these properties lend themselves to some grand ambitions like "a new internet" and a "google-docs live coding editor experience". Maybe I'm just full of myself though haha

scrapscript.py is the first real attempt at making scrapscript a reality, so some folks who feel these pains are getting excited to see some movement on the project.

This isn't true. There have been many changes on the selling side, but they're mostly market-specific, e.g., cards.

And decoupling from PayPal a few years back looked like it forced a ton of re-engineering on the backend.

Also, FWIW, I've accessed eBay multiple times per day since 2004 and I can't remember downtime.
It's not a sudden mass exodus they care about, but a slow decline in their brand's perception for users. Scam ads make YouTube look shady.

No I will do my best not to. Too many incidents and yes aviation in general is safe but lost trust in 737 MAX. I would rather cancel a flight last min and be stranded at an airport than get on one knowing I am on one. Frightening thought.
I love Pd, and think plugdata is great, but it should be mentioned that it's not really an equivalent of M4L devices - it does the audio processing side, but none of the DAW controlling side.

(I wrote Scheme for Pd, which puts a scheme interpreter in Pd)

I too have a certain fear or flying, even though I fly quite often.
One thing that has actually helped me (and from the comment field, helped a lot of other people too) is this channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MentourPilot

Not only is it great content, but the way Peter breaks down accidents and goes through all the safety barriers modern airplanes actually have, it has over time lowered my fear of flying.

I personally would not.

Without wanting to cause undue anxiety (given it's an anonymous posting), this apparent anonymous posting by a Boeing employee on an aviation forum regarding the 737 Spirit line is pretty shocking (there's two posts, and multiple reporters in the comments are asking to contact the person for interviews):

You intentionally shortened 'the negligent union parasites who assembled the max' which explicitly tailored to the union who assembled the max. The fact you left out the qualifiers says it all. If I put something like 'the nasty Americans who sold slaves' into chatGPT but cut off 'who sold slaves' you'd get the same sort of inaccurate output.
The fact that all it takes is one company with a wrong ID to arrest someone is one thing.

But that being taken to jail in America can result in violent prison rape (and worse, that it is often met with jokes and snickers) shows a very sad, disgusting part of our society.

The article says he's suing EssilorLuxottica but I also hope he is able to sue the crap out of the government that incarcerated him.
I mean, we're not optimising for taste or nutrition. We're barely even optimising for cost these days.

We're optimising for length of time the produce looks good on a supermarket shelf after travelling halfway around the world in a container ship.

All other concerns get thrown under the bus.

The really insidious aspect of this, though, is that this isn't the result of some deliberate plot; supermarkets sell what people will most buy.

If enough people switch to buying tasty nutritious misshapen local in-season produce instead of the tasteless bland cheap good-looking year-round stuff, we'll see more of that.

Time and time again, though, we all vote with our wallets for beautiful insipid gratification, and so that is what we get.
Yes, I would.

That said, I would pay (have paid, taking a family trip for Spring Break) slightly more for a trip on a different aircraft. It was only ~$20 per ticket and a slightly longer layover to go with a different airline that ran Airbus A320s. NB: I have little fear of flying, I love flying. I'm mostly just running the math.

Similarly, and probably more importantly, my rusty old Pontiac Vibe is a less safe vehicle (for the occupants) than my Toyota Sequoia. And my road bike is less safe for the rider than either. But I still drive the Vibe when I don't need many passengers or tow capacity, because it's way cheaper and less polluting to use, and I'm still really looking forward to commuting on my bike again when spring arrives because that's enormously cheaper and less polluting and also more fun.
Normal. Media doing a good job. But the numbers are unexpected for me.
How are you meant to "innovate" if you can't harvest your customers data and sell it to the highest bidder?
I would avoid 737 MAXes when possible, but if I've already purchased a ticket and there was a last minute plane change to the MAX, I'd go ahead and fly on it.

I think these planes do present a greater-than-usual risk, but the risk is still very, very low.
Yes. I’d prefer to fly on an airbus, but the total risk is still low considering the incident per flight hour rate of commercial aviation.
Yes, and I wouldn't even think about it.

The likelihood of me dying in an aviation accident is far lower than me dying while taking a walk to my mailbox. I used to work in aviation and trust the safety processes and culture that it has established in North America. That we continue to uncover these faults tells me that the process is working as intended.
Horrendous. If more people took seriously the idea they could be incarcerated on clerical errors, perhaps we would see long-overdue and long-needed reforms in our justice system.
Who pushed the commit, IIRC, is metadata that's not on the Merkle hash tree -- it can't be on the Merkle hash tree without there being a commit for the push of the other commit, since anyone can push, but an authored commit is immutable.
> I'm willing to believe that a particular implementation of the Agile manifesto has failed, but agile is really just a set of common sense tenants which do not enforce a particular way of doing things.

I see this over and over again with agile, scrum, basically any framework. If there is ever a failure of the system, it’s never agile or scrum’s fault. You’re just doing it wrong. But also apparently there is no right way to do it either, so if you can’t figure it out that sucks and is also your fault.

I think my main criticisms are 1) that any specific component from agile is consistent in the success of teams who do it and 2) that it’s reproducible across teams. You may be doing something that works well. You may call it agile. It may work. But it’s like saying I’ve had so much success driving because I use Michelin tires. Sure, it’s a core component of the system, but I if I hold all other context the same and use something else, I’m more than likely going to be successful despite it.

If you have a high performing team, it doesn’t matter if you use agile or not. You’re going to find success. If your team is not high performing, it also doesn’t matter, you’re going to be worse off than a high performing one, regardless if you use agile.

The other point not contemplated is PRC building out basic welfare net (but not welfare state) is probably not going to be very onerous due to income inequality. 600M on 1000rmb household spending, 900m on 2000rmb household spending, with high home ownership, and high safings. 2/3 of population are poor enough they can be provided for with single digit GDP spending.
Hey that's a killer opening line for something.
Educate. Make up some kind of information that is easy for legit persons to exchange but difficult to look up online. In case of parents/grandparents, it can be information in their life which isn't available online (good luck finding the town my mother was born in online!).

We use this in our family for generations - anyone ringing our doorbell and asking to be let in needed to know the full name of my siblings. We have a similar mechanism in place for our kids.
