Speaking from personal experience (having visited Steamboat dozens of times) it has a service economy, a school system, including a college (Colorado Mountain College Steamboat Springs), a hospital, firefighters and sanitation workers. It has grocery stores, pharmacies, parks, maintained sporting areas and every sort of amenity.

Don't get me wrong, housing is a serious issue for workers. Many of the large hotels and employers there have housing programs for employees.

And despite being a "ski town" (and it certainly is), there is a lot to do there in the summer. The ski trails are used for mountain biking, with gondola rides available. There is also fishing, hiking, rafting, hot-air balloon rides and a variety of other things to do outside of the winter season. There aren't as many flights out to Yampa during the summer season, but a couple of airlines run all year round.

Highly recommend visiting in any season.
That's the thing — I have a hard time believing this would have been true. They never told us they were giving us 5G data for free, and we definitely used plenty of data.

I would expect they would have bragged about how nice they are in giving us 5G data for free if they had been doing it. And I would have expected a noticeable drop in data charges if it had been free. I will go back and look at bills for the phones on our account that can use 5G data to see if there are any patterns.

> There's nothing about calling in the quote you provided, it specifically references 5G data.

That's true. I couldn't tell if they were just obfuscating. I don't know what those terms mean, if they're only related to voice calls, or if by specifying these they're saying that all data flowing over 5G+ will now be billed (including voice).
Big proponent of guaranteed outputs for LLMs. I wrote a library awhile back (gpt-json) that did something similar by querying the OpenAI API. At the end of the day though while their responses are _highly likely_ to be valid JSON they're not guaranteed. There's only so much that can be done with remote calls to their model's black box.

The future here really lies in compiling down context free grammars. They let you model json, yml, csv, and other programming languages as finite state machines that can force LLM transitions. They end up being pretty magical: you can force value typing, enums, and syntax validation of multivariate payloads. For use in data pipelines they can't be beat.

I did some experiments a few weeks ago on training models to generate these formats explicitly with jsonformers/outlines. Finetuning in the right format is still important to maximize output. You can end up seeing a 7% lift if you finetune explicitly for your desired format. [^1] At inference time the CFGs will constrain your model to do what it's actually intended to.

I put a train engine in my D&D campaign, the Santa Fe. The paladin asked for a translation of the text on the side, and the wizard cast the "Read Language" spell. I actually looked up the meaning of Santa Fe, which is "Holy Faith" and the paladin took it as a sign.
They basically just give you a crypto wallet with some coins in. The eye scan is only done at the start to stop people picking up multiple wallets. After you have it access is not done by eye ball, it's done using a private key like any other crypto wallet.
This kind of gross imbalance is self-correcting. Those who have been through a few of these cycles know the warning signs. Those who don't get an expensive lesson at the school of hard knocks.
The Israelis are the ones setting those parameters and creating the conditions, though. It's not a "gotcha" to point out that journalists are also affected along with the other noncombatants.
NTSB cannot do that, it can only issue recommendations that could be acted on (or ignored) by the FAA.

Maybe Boeing execs are sure their FAA buddies are not going to do anything drastic like that anytime soon? It’s not like Boeing the main US military supplier can be allowed to fail right?

Tensorflow has been falling behind since they stopped caring about backward compatibility. PyTorch is the leading framework. Jax is getting some traction at Google and was used to train Gemini.
Yeah, I don't know what I did last summer. Especially at work, unless you've got logs to remind me.

And if Boeing had logs, they probably would have shared them.
It's anonymous. You don't have to give a name or address or anything.
I think they still could. . . And still might.

I have to think that somewhere in a lab they have an android device with all the Google bits removed. I truly believe that Edge is a test run for this, and given how successful it has become, they will press further.

Embrace & extend never dies.

It's not necessarily a problem. It would be very hard to program without abstractions.

But all abstraction is compression in a sense. You are writing a smaller program that is "decompressed" into a much larger compute graph - for example, a loop unrolls into the same operation many times. This makes it much easier to fit the program into your head, but also limits its complexity.

This is why it's hard for programs to deal with the arbitrarily-complex real world.

I grew up in LA and still spend a lot of time camping in the southwest. I think I'm pretty familiar with what the natural environment would look like without cities. It's not green. It's mostly dirt, peppered with scrub plants.

You can get a pretty good idea what "LA or Vegas with natural green belts" would look like just by going outside the metro areas. I'm not saying it's bad - I love southwest desert - but natural desert "greenbelts" are probably not what you're picturing if you think "why don't we do Medellín here?"

With what, a standardized curriculum? That is a hell of a can of worms as you probably know.

Apply an AI agent to the sum total of student output? Can't wait for the entrenched racial bias to leak into the AI and a host of other issues.

If you could get an AI implemented that didn't involve reporting to the greater regulatory bodies, I can see that working, but that's the issue with things like that: management wants to see them and then the stats rapidly get watered down to meaninglessness.

It would be crazy to see if an AI can start diagnosing home issues, abuse, etc from student output and performance. I can see a lot of benefits, as long as the AI output is private.
Something I realized recently was that you can just buy popcorn kernels in bulk and pop them in the microwave using a covered bowl. I don't think I'll ever buy instant popcorn baggies again.
There are authentication apps on windows, Mac, etc, and you also have the option of using something other than an electronic device.

Before you say desktop OSs are not the same thing, it is to the government. The difference between iOS and macOS is the same as Windows XP and Windows Vista legally, Google only got dinged as a monopoly in the Epic case because of preferential treatment, not because it was "essential" or that the smartphone market is any way distinct or unique enough for that. Microsoft got dinged because it was 95% of the personal computing market in general. Apple is not even close here.

It is fine to suggest abuse and sending warnings, but if you've even remotely looked at any of the legal cases the US government brought against tech companies in the past, you'd know how much of a joke it is when people talk like this.
that might depend on your definition of unacceptable, if it is something that people do not like, but dont take so much offense to as to make illegal, i would say that it is simply discouraged or looked down upon, but not "unacceptable" or "unimaginable".

> i loved when they changed the scores so that your result from 10 years prior suddenly become a lower result so people had to know when you took the test to properly weight the result.

I took the GRE just before they switched from scoring out of 800 on each section to scoring out of 180. After the switch they kindly mailed me “converted” scores on the new 180 scale, which turned my perfect math score—I hadn’t missed a single question—into a 178. I was not amused.
It wasn't nobody. People were lining up all the way outside of the mall. It's scary what people do for the price of a pair of cheap jeans.
It kinda seems like the NTSB doesn't really need Boeing's cooperation. Apparently they can just waltz into a factory where an accident occurred and talk to whoever they want and look at whatever records they want.

I wonder why they aren't doing that yet?
All this banter about sloppy code. Copilot smashing the boilerplate let's me focus on quality.

Doesn't stop an industry of cheating by having crib sheets or entire whiteboards with accessory equations, information, or potentially gasp answers on the other side of the screen. Without a 360 camera recording the entire room for the entire duration of the exam, proctor-based exams at a public venue or off-site corporate testing center should be the gold standard. (A few institutions like Stanford continue an absurd tradition of proctor-less exams.)

How surprising that they release a product that contains so many bugs. Very impressive that all of them come with a small an nice reproducing example.
Sex is the thing that humans evolved to do for exogenous dopamine (look up why the penis is shaped the way it is). Religions of old told people to deny their natural desires and instead seek dopamine from the church (we are all God’s narcissist supply). Capitalism, our modern religion, tells people to seek it out from consumption (Capitalism would fail without exogenous dopamine addictions). Humanity should just have more sex.
That paragraph continues ...

> Photo documentation obtained from Boeing shows evidence of the left-hand MED plug closed with no retention hardware (bolts) in the three visible locations (the aft upper guide track is covered with insulation and cannot be seen in the photo). This image was attached to a text message between Boeing team members on September 19, 2023. These Boeing personnel were discussing interior restoration after the rivet rework was completed during second shift operations that day

I think number one, they're asking Boeing, because Boeing keeps the records. But also, because Boeing employees were working on the plane, and it was at a Boeing facility.

That there is no record of attaching the bolts is consistent with them not being attached, of course. But there's also no record of the plug being opened or closed, and yet it was.
Hard. They have people looking at what you are up to and there is gadetry similar to the iphone face scanner that can tell a face from say a photo of a face.
Not good enough because the stakes are high for admissions, that is if they still choose to look at merit.
>It's out of a desire for them to actually prove the aircraft is safe to fly and operates the way they've claimed it does.

At this point I'm more concerned about Boeing's ability to live up to it's obligations as an aerospace company and maker of safe, compliant, no corners cut hardware.

Because even their operational characteristics are such that I'm beginning to strongly doubt that capability. If there is this much smoke...

> Akshully it’s you who need to read up on first thing about the history of the invasion of cities by the automobile. Complete, total regulatory capture of the government by the automobile and oil industry, purchase of transit only to rip it to shreds etc etc.

Actually, you've got the timeline wrong. It was the automobile becoming so common in cities that made the automobile industry powerful enough to later do those other things.

What got cars common in cities was that they were safer than horses and didn't shit and piss all over the streets.
Amazing, thank you! Very cool

Did you do any sort of benchmark between embeddings and direct inference?

How did you tune the distance for relevance, how did you decide on chunking and how many results would you include?

I want to try filtering using the distance of embeddings RAG style, but I wonder about how that changes the results

The current method the app uses feels pretty good, it does get you the best matches, and sometimes it also includes a few “extra” suggestions that typical filters would have left out, but that end up being potentially interesting matches
> Once this man's name is released

There are multiple unfounded assumptions here.

Just because boeing tells the investigators the name of the individual the name does not “get released”. NTSB reports most of the time describe people in general terms such as “the captain of the accident flight” or “maintainer 2”.

Then the assumption is that it is a single individual, when it is most likely multiple people. (There were multiple aircrafts found with the missing screws.)

Then of course you are also assuming a gender. Not everyone who works on airplanes is a male you know.

> would you knowingly hire the same maintenance engineer who installed a door that failed

Yes. Assuming that it wasn’t an intentional act of sabotage, my answer is yes. We don’t get good results by assuming that nobody makes mistakes.
What anti-trust laws are going to restore a "competitive" environment? The competitors couldn't compete. They failed. They failed with a huge head start and incumbent advantage! Apple and Google were the underdogs. They made better products people wanted.

Microsoft even tried a second (well, fourth) time and failed again! All these companies failed for their own issues and not any sort of action on Apple's part.

No legislation is going to make a company fundamentally understand the smartphone market, consumer electronics, or help them understand effective operations. No law is going to help them avoid visits from the Good Idea Fairy or executive hubris to avoid stupid business decisions. You're not going to regulate your way into finding investors willing to put up the cash to make a realistic play in the current smartphone market.
i worked at one startup that decided to emulate the Canonical interview process because one of the managers was the kind of guy that loved cargo-culting this kind of stuff. he decided to start doing these interviews without coordinating with the rest of the hiring team.

it's one thing for a large company to do these kind of interview when the interviewee is knows what they're getting into, but it feels very different when a you're interviewing at a random early-stage startup and out of nowhere this guy starts asking you invasive personal questions. it really starts pushing the boundaries of legal interview questions.

anyway... this guy has since founded his own company writes inane linkedin-friendly blog posts filled with inspirational stories about "leadership" that make me gag.

1. nagfor Release 7.1(Hanzomon) Build 7149 released on March 5, 2024, fixed all the bugs spotted, but introduced an ICE when compiling PRIMA ( http://www.libprima.net ). The ICE has nothing to do with half-precision real, because it occurs when PRIMA is configured to use single or double precision. It can be reproduced by

```

git clone https://github.com/libprima/prima.git && cd prima && git checkout ec42cb0 && cd fortran/examples/lincoa && make ntest

```

2. nagfor 7.2 released on 6 March, 2024 included neither the ICE nor the fixes for the bugs.
I don't think Stade was past its service life. It was only around for 30 years. Obrigheim which they shut down was far older. Do you have any evidence that Stade was actually past its service life?

You mentioning the other parties is completely irrelevant since I am not saying the other parties did not also shut down nuclear, only that SPD/Greens did.
I guess that depends on what makes evilBastard evil. I don't care if evilBastard is a "great" dad. When you mastermind to commit what any rational person would call war crimes does not get white washed because they played ball with their kids on the weekends or donated a bunch of money to charity in an attempt to assuage guilt (if any were felt to begin with).

You might think you are smart for hedging, but if you think killing one million innocent lives just makes a person "complicated", you've lost the plot.

There was a deferred prosecution agreement with Boeing that expired shortly after the door blow out.

I saw a news item that said the DoJ was investigating whether Boeing's subsequent behavior violated the agreement.

It takes a bit of arrogance to stonewall the NTSB in light of such an agreement.

I see a lot of talk of this 'increase supply' in Australia where house prices are out of control. Personally I think insatiable demand is a bigger problem and no increase in supply will fix it. Over last couple of decades we have had financial deregulation and cheap money - 30 year mortgages are a norm (used to be 20 years), tax system favoring property investment (losses claimed as tax return), global economy where anyone in the world can bid for local housing (e.g. rules change so foreign students can buy property), huge liquidity in pension funds (superannuation) allowed to do leverage/borrow so investment property can be purchased - again policy change in last decade or so. This is without even talking about stock reduction due to temporary rentals. I see big part of the problem interest groups driving policy change, rather then people wanting to live in desirable places.
