Working in the same industry[1], this[2] is almost always a red flag.

To the point where someone specifically asking for face to face - during a review of a flight critical system - will get eyebrows raised halfway to the outermost of Saturn's rings. Hell, if eyebrows aren't raised you should get serious gut trembles, aka what in the hell is going on here.

The fact someone put this in an official record . . a record that presumably other people looked at, and approved . . is . . honestly, I'm not sure what's going on here. The generous interpretation is that leadership doesn't have a good grip on what a flight critical system is, how it's classified, for whatever reason, so they feel like engineers are constantly overreacting. "They're always whining 'flight critical'! Wah wah wah flight critical this, flight critical that". The bad interpretation is that they know what it is, and they don't care. That might be where the specific adjective "criminal" comes into play.

[2] I.e. refusal to enter durable record, i.e., signature, email, a ticketing system, a microphone you hid in your tie, etc. This is all specc'd to the wazoo, by the way . . for the suppliers, anyway. Here's the fun thing about Boeing and ISO: Boeing never certs to AS9100. Boeing (BCA specifically) never needs to pass a formal audit, because as far as the ISO/SAE steering is concerned, Boeing is AS9100. Boeing’s Alan Daniels headed both ISO9001 and AS9100 committees without ever working under a cert AS9100 system his entire life, or ever certifying Boeing in either. But they can fine their suppliers umptillion million dollars for using the wrong font on their AS9100-certified quality documents. Isn't that grand? Bonus: Boeing's prime seats at ISO and AS9100 lets them lean hard on the up and comers too cough SpaceX cough, to boot.

Thanks. Yes nice and helpful summary of your earlier comment. I'll respond more later, but briefly myself:

From my earlier comments: "I'm not saying that the First Cause is definitely impersonal. I'm only claiming that given our current observation as of today, impersonal physical laws can explain all of our observations"

To use your format:

W: Observe that world has causes, parts, etc.

FC: Eternal First Cause as a brute-force fact.

M: FC has will.

N: FC does not have will.

Claim0: W -> FC.

Claim1: W -> M.

Claim2: W -> N.

I think we both agree on Claim0.

The proofs in the book (and you) are asserting Claim1. W is true, hence M is true. In other words, FC has to have free will in creating this world.

Me: !Claim2. So no, I'm NOT claiming FC has to have a lack of free will. I agree with you, that doesn't follow.

Me, instead: W -> (M or N). That's all. If you agree with this, then my job here is done. The book claims: "The real debate is not between atheism and theism." My objective is to show this statement is not true. Atheism is very much still on the table.

Thus, given the observations as of today, we cannot assert Claim1, as the book is doing. Why not? Because we have NOT eliminated N, as it also fits the observations. So no, not everyone should turn into a theist. (But we cannot assert Claim2 either.)

> There is no necessary connection between the two.

There is no necessary connection. But there is a possible connection. P from your comment can explain W (all that FC is is the unfolding of rules) and if so, then Q/N will be implied.

Where does that leave us?

Today: Either M or N is true, but we don't know which. Thus, naturalism is as valid a stance as theism. Neither can claim the other is false. We can only talk in terms of how likely it is that M or N is true. As a naturalist, my claim is that N is likely because we can explain the world using rules. We don't need a Divine explanation. Not definitely, but possibly. And that it helps to adopt something like Bayesian reasoning when thinking about matters such as these.

Tomorrow: God does a (second) revelation. M is then shown to be true and N is false.

Tomorrow: Not likely but possible, science figures out how the universe is self-sustaining. N is then shown to be true, and M false.
Is there a way to directly train transformer models to output embeddings that could help tree based models downstream? For tabular data tree based models seems to be the best but I feel like foundational models could help them in some way

Your stylized example is unrelated to reality. Users cannot subscribe to Spotify in app, so Apple makes no money from them while providing all the R&D they use to play audio on the device for free. Next, people say that the hassle of subscribing to Spotify outside the app is an insurmountable friction for Spotify, yet somehow Spotify is the dominant streaming music provider.

So Apple has built all the key innovations which make mobile music streaming a viable product, gives it to the biggest music streaming service for free, and then gets slammed because it doesn’t also go out of its way to allow that service to integrate with Apple’s assistant AI product (except when it does build that functionality, the streaming service doesn’t even adopt it!).

Simply absurd logic.
I do understand the discussion. You don't seem to understand what explanation is. Saying "God did it" doesn't explain the origin of life. We may never have a scientific explanation for how life arose. It may be that it was an act of God (which, for what it's worth, I personally believe) but that doesn't explain it. There are limits to human knowledge, and faith transcends those limits. You seem to confuse faith and science and put them in some sort of competition with each other, they're not, they are both approaches to the Truth.

That's an ... interesting alternate history. But modern Zionism started in 1882, yet the Genocide of Safed was in 1834.

Reading the article about it it's clear the local authorities did not prosecute Jews as a policy - but, the local population was full of hate for Jews.

You see it over and over when reading the history of the area - the official policy allowed Jews, while the individual people wanted to kill the Jews. Nothing has changed today.

And the hate for Jews was obviously not because of modern Israel, since that didn't exist, not was even thought of.

Though that justifies the specific phrase, it doesn't really contradict the usual explanations of how CoT works. Like... the phrase directs it into the conceptual space of a website that has lots of CoT examples, but if CoT didn't help it think, that wouldn't actually result in better outputs.
Devcontainers in Docker. With Docker, you cannot add a port forward to an existing container; you have to rebuild the container. With devcontainers, this at a minimum requires a few minutes of rebuilding time (an excessive price to pay for changing a port forward).

Apple does not force Spotify to support its competition. Spotify does not offer any IAP so in fact it’s Apple that is giving away all its R&D into AVFoundation and various other cutting edge APIs for free to its competition. Apple does not make any money from Spotify.

It’s true when you become as successful as Apple, the rentiers will come knocking. That doesn’t make the rentiers’ case particularly strong or honorable.

The method of monipolization is to increase lock in, by Apple's own internal emails. There are emails of them literally saying that to themselves. Why do people conjure hypotheticals on why Apple is just "acting for their users interest" when we have legal evidence of them saying that their plan for iMessage is to cause user lock in.
Apple is in the process of getting into the ad business. Why not sell privacy and personal data at the same time? They are in a perfect position to sell ad attribution.

You can search github for labels like “needs-help” or “good-first-issue” etc. Many many projects would love help, but aren’t asking for it. Example query: https://github.com/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Anee...

My recommendation tho of course is to find an existing project you’re passionate about, find their tracker, and dig in! Few softwares are ever truly done. Make one you love even better.
digg followed StumbleUpon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StumbleUpon). StumbleUpon was the source of the vast majority of digg and reddit content before people like Randall Monroe were making high quality comments on reddit. Once every reddit post had a literal expert respond with high quality comments, it dominated the others and content began to be posted on reddit first, rather than the content being found on stumbleupon or digg and ending up on reddit. Eventually things like askreddit became popular and community style content flourished.

> Nothing much has changed. In the way you're referencing, the US was extremely divided in the 1960's and is extremely divided again now.

Don't believe the hype. There were bombings and assassinations in the 60s.

Partisanship has increased in recent memory but we don't come close to replicating the division caused by the ripples of the red scare, a draft for the vietnam war and a burgeoning and sometimes violent civil rights movement.

These days, people talk the talk but they fail to walk the walk like they did then.

A close relative required a kidney transplant back in the early 60s when it was still quite new. They told her they expected it to last 2-3 years.

Took over 40 years before the kidney gave up, and she led a quite normal life up until the last couple of years.

Sadly, because she was given only 2-3 years she felt she lived on borrowed time, and never felt comfortable having kids.
I just bought Garmin GPS Watch. I'm appalled that it only let's me download apps from the Garmin watch app store. It's unfair that I can only install Garmin's OS on it. I bought the watch. I should be able to do anything I want to it. I need Garmin's software engineers to develop open solutions so that anyone can do anything on the watches they sell.

Do you see what the problem is with the above statement? How far does the government go? Shouldn't all products (electronic or not) be "open" if Apple loses?

The great thing about allowing sideloading is that it enables the community to build 3rd party apps for accessing services like Facebook, even though doing so violates the service's ToS. You can't put a lightweight and tracking-resistant FB client in the App Store.
I'm really skeptical of Eteched. They make claims about how their chips are "optimized for transformers", as if Nvidia's Tensor Cores aren't optimized for those workloads too. Plus, if they really are only good at transformers, they'd get screwed over if SSMs or some other models become dominant. And their website has a "tokens per second" graph with no Y-axis, which is never a good look.

I think that if you want to build an AI chip company, you have to leverage some novel technology (processing-in-memory, photonics, etc) that counter-positions you against Nvidia. Trying to beat Nvidia at optimizing digital logic seems like a losing battle.
If you have above X% market share, yes (e.g. 20%).
I think Apple Music (on iOS, on Mac it’s quite bad) is really good. But even if it wasn’t, I still would use it just for ratings and complex smart playlists.

Maybe for their personal device. But for work provided device, who cares if it is decent enough. Most people just keep them connected to power while working on a desk anyway (in my opinion).

4k (1080) is just way too small for me. I don’t see that many 5k or 6k options for a reasonable price. What is a nice setup for a developer? Go with 2x4k screens and you’re looking at bezels dead ahead, 3x4k and you’ll have to move your head a lot, or 1x6k?
That captures the essence perfectly.
Someone seeing an unfamiliar kanji-based term in a Japanese technical document would often have little trouble reading it phonetically.

Furigana helps if one or more of the kanji used is rare (outside of the jōyō kanji), or when the word follows some common variation (guessing which is possible, but wastes the reader's time) or when the kanji spelling is arbitrarily assigned ("ateji"; impossible to guess).

E.g. suppose the reader sees 帰納. It is very likely they can read it correctly as kinō. The problem is not knowing what it means, that it refers to (mathematical) induction, or inductive reasoning. The dictionary lookup is trivial, though.

Basically, someone fluent in Japanese can read unfamiliar words like that most of the time. They will know a ton of words in which 帰 is ki and 納 is nō. In situations like that, it's not much different from someone encountering an unfamiliar word in English or Spanish text.

If Apple had your best interests in mind they would provide a way to integrate third party payment systems into their management interface so all apps could expose their subscriptions to the user in a consistent way regardless of payment backend. Instead they will keep it as an exclusive feature and point to other processors' lack of compatibility as a harm to end-users inflicted by the DMA. They would rather have a talking point in their ongoing temper tantrum than provide a good experience for their users.
