Yes, it is considered a cardinal sin to discredit authority through embarrassment. It may not be an official crime, but they will make it feel that way. This isn't unique to governments. Try discrediting any authority figure with embarassment (parent, teacher, manager, police) and watch what happens. The result somewhat irrational and ego driven, but it's relatively consistent.

At work they force me to use NestJS. Want to make a new GET endpoint? Find the controller class, add a method, add a get decorator, add an authentication decorator, add a param decorator, add openapi decorators, and if you are feeling helpful, add openapi decorators to every property of every object you take in or return.

I hate decorators so much, just let me use regular data as code.

You implied a whole host of things with this statement, and considering the topic of this thread, also ramming a Roman bridge with a fully loaded modern day cargo ship.

The point is there are so many moving parameters, it is nonsensical to take 1 result of 1 technique from 1 point of time and use that as a basis for what one can expect at other points in time.
I don't find the broad stroke of "mental health" very useful in any discussions since it implies there is a baseline mentally healthy state. I think some people are able to handle social media and others aren't, and that's completely fine.

Although I think you're exactly right, the irony is that they'll never actually be able to determine why somebody doesn't install an app due to this kind of junk. It's not like they can a/b test "bloated app" versus "good app" installation metrics, and they have no way to know why people are not installing something.

The trend towards huge installations is one of the many reasons I install as few apps as possible, especially in this class of "should have a fully functional web version" type social media things.

The damage is also cumulative: I have a perception that "apps" in general are likely to be huge piles of junk, so I'm reluctant to install any of them, regardless of their own merits. Even if LinkedIn were to spend the time improving their app it would suffer from the overall reputational damage to the entire ecosystem, and I still wouldn't even think to install it.

> Colin still thinks Windows XP was the best thing ever and goes a funny shade of red when anyone mentions Linux (or anything else he doesn't understand)

Circa 2000 I worked in a place with such a head of IT. After some effort I managed to get my work done by bringing in my own Linux laptop. But, connecting it to the network was strictly prohibited ("everyone knows that Linux is insecure"), and data had to be transferred by floppy disk to/from the rather unreliable networked Windows PC shared by me and two other scientists in the same office. This PC used to crash after each user logged out and required a reboot pretty much every time.
No, it would not. Spammers are still paying for the devices - most botnets are built and used (to spam) by different actors. Systems that require more computational power to spam take up more of their resources, making spamming significantly less profitable.
I agree, there is a lot of delicate and manual agricultural work that I would like see AI tackle. But this doesn't seem to be one of them.

The article is a little light on the details, but it doesn't look like this robut does any manual work on the flowers. Rather, it seems like it uses image recognition to plot the GPS coordinates of potential sick plants (with the assumption that a human will follow up to remove them manually if necessary).
Not sure why a web based subscription product which already had collaboration features would want to own native one shot apps.

Only way I can see logic for this acquisition is if they're wanting the talent/experience of Affinity's developers to build web based offerings of the feature sets of Photo, Designers, Publisher as part of a Canva web offering.
None at all, even out of order execution. For that matter, executing the same code on different hardware is right out. Every program must be implemented on single-purpose hardware, and you can't even manufacture two of them.
> Unlike the Philadelphia bridge span collapse recently, I don’t foresee this bridge being rebuilt anytime soon.

How come?
I think this is too strong a take. The general rule, as stated, can be useful as a way to think about systems, interfaces, architecture, etc in broad strokes as a vector for expectations which might fall victim to this pitfall. Being general, it isn’t prescriptive about the solution… but then, type safety isn’t always (and isn’t the only) solution. It’s a way to think about problems where you explicitly scrutinize the expectations they promote and their corresponding realities. You might arrive at type safety as a measure to align those, but you might also consider a variety of other concerns in the same thought process. It’s only unuseful if the problem you’re applying it to is itself vague, or if you’re unprepared to do the thinking involved in understanding a more specific problem and what expectations you’re addressing in solving it.
>there would have been insurance companies that understood statistics and deep, local and domain- knowledge

Sounds like a perfect job for an AI-actuary-based insurance company.
Also want to highlight this for another reason. At slow speeds rail and boats suffer from far less “moving” friction than road vehicles. So once off there is very little slowing them down vs cars and trucks that suffer from high rolling friction.
In addition to the Hazmat issue mentioned below, tunnels have a bad record when fires break out inside them. E.g. the Kaprun disaster [0] which killed 150 people, and the Gotthard Road Tunnel [1] fire, after which the use of large vehicles was constrained.

Memories of the Minneapolis bridge collapse.

Assange's team brought evidence that the USA had a kidnapping/assassination plot in case he attempted to flee to Russia. They brought this as obvious evidence that he will not be safe in US custody - they were already willing to kidnap or kill him without a trial. This should prevent his extradition from the UK to the USA, as the UK in principle doesn't extradite prisoners to countries where their safety and UK judicial rights are not guaranteed.
Why are you throwing shade at civil structural engineering?

Do all bridges we build need to be able to withstand the force of an entire shipping container bridge hitting it at high speed? What planet should an engineer think that a shipping container has managed to veer off course so badly that they hit a bridge at full speed, fully loaded? That is a sad and significant outlier event.
Great point. Like in real life if the cost of taking that debt is less than what you gain from it then usually it is the right choice to take it. Like going into a small amount of tech debt to ship a critical feature where some people will refactor and rewrite the whole thing not delivering value over long periods which stifles growth. Like it or not but debt is the basis of growth.

Of course the issue is like with real debt also - how do you estimate the costs/gains from taking it and you're under risk of going bankrupt if not managed properly.

It's a financial product that's built from other debts.

Specifically, it was a piece of partial ownership on a bunch of mortgages in 2008. The issue here is that when the junk mortgages defaulted, the CDO also went sideways.

Fun fact - before 2008, they had started making CDOs out of CDOs because of of the insatiable appetite for mortgage-backed financial products. When mortgages are underwritten for people withouth a job, and packaged in a product with a AAA credit rating, it turns out it's a profitable thing to sell

Hi, I'm the founder of actuated and have been creating a bunch of materials on learning Firecracker for the community over the past couple of years. In this tutorial I wanted to show how you can use GPUs mounted via VFIO for CI - for AI use-cases including e2e testing and training/embedding with acceleration.

If you've not used ollama before, it also gives you a quick guide to try it out on a CPU or GPU locally.

We're looking for folks who could use GPU acceleration in GitHub Actions or GitLab CI - feel free to reach out to me via the form on the pricing page if that's of interest.

If not, hope you learned something.
Neuralink Patient Shows Off His Sick Mind-Controlled Mario Kart Racing Skills
I think the reason why first two examples can say that they are safe is that in case of failure, people die. And thus there was a regulation introduced. People generally care when they can die.

In case of software, rather rarely people die and when software is being done on something human critical (a friend of mine works on pacemakers), there a great deal of care being done.

So basically it's a wide range from DIY using a cheap wrench to person rotating a torque calibrated wrench on a rocket. Because just like the hammer, there is a wide range of use cases, some critical (e.g. pacemaker), some mundane (e.g. ecommerce).

Planes and elevators always have a risk of crashing and killing humans. And it did. Software doesn't.
Why not both?

Manual work has been getting automated away for over a century. Tech has already eroded low and middle class jobs for decades. To think that similar won't happen in knowledge work (or that we shouldn't let it), feels like a very techy type of NIMBYism

The analogy here is that the CDO is a financial product that's built from other debts.

Specifically, it was a piece of partial ownership on a bunch of mortgages in 2008. The issue here is that when the junk mortgages defaulted, the CDO also went sideways [1]

In any case, what the author is thinking about is more "systemic risk" (think leftpad or cascading DNS failures) rather than debt-based analogies. One big reason 2008 became such a big mess was the systemic issues, not building products on debt [2]

1. Fun fact - before 2008, they had started making CDOs out of CDOs because of of the insatiable appetite for mortgage-backed financial products. When mortgages are underwritten for people withouth a job, and packaged in a product with a AAA credit rating, it turns out it's a profitable thing to sell.

2. Also the fact that Lehman and Bear Sterns had leverage ratios in the 30x-40x range, which is insane.

Under EU legislation, all 27 member states are obliged to have a scheme to remunerate authors for the lending out of their works by libraries.

Ireland has it in place under the provisions of our Public Lending Remuneration Scheme, which is currently capped at €200,000 per annum, paid at a rate of 4.39 cents per title borrowed in 2020. Payments to individual authors are capped at €1,000 with a minimum sum of €2. Authors receive an average payment of just under €32 per year for having their books borrowed from public libraries in Ireland.

Under the PLR scheme in the UK authors can receive a maximum annual payment of £6,600.

Fucking Rocket boat...

Okay, story time. So, my brother was a law student in SF. He had a class on maritime law. They took at field trip to the Mare Island DHS office (I think) to learn more about the implementation of all the law they were learning.

So, they learned, in response to the Cosco Busan oil spill (I think), DHS decided to put in a warning system that would track all the boats in the Bay and then alert the DHS office if any of them were going to crash into Frank's Crab Shack again. Look at the trajectories, guess the time, send out an alert to the whole office. Years are spent on this system, millions of dollars, lots of studies, yadda yadda yadda.

The warning system they decided on, because this is the government and they know about lawyers, is that the whole office is going to have red flashing lights and a very loud voice come over the intra-office speakers saying 'CRASH IMMINENT". And then it'll just blare that notice until the S/W decides that the crash ain't happening anymore.

So, my brother there and they are taking the tour and the alarm goes off and ... no one does a damn thing. And he's thinking that this is really strange. And the tour guide they have looks at the group of law students and explains the above. And then the tour guide goes and says ' but they forgot about the fucking Rocket Boat'

So, in the Bay at that time, there was the Rocket Boat tour. You get on at Pier 39, you go on a tour at really high speeds, bumping your clam chowder out along the way. And to scare the tourists at the end, the pilot heads straight for Pier 39 and then turns away at just the last second. Tourists are scared, but happy, a bit wet. Everyone has a good time.

Except for the DHS office and their automated crash system. Every. Single. Time that the Rocket Boat decided to scare the tourists, the alarm system would sound.

So, since this is the government and you certainly cannot turn this millions of dollars system off now, nor can you really really be certain that the Rocket boat driver didn't actually just pass out from all the beer-only lunch he just had, the workers at the DHS office just had to endure the booming alarms and lights. Multiple times a day, nearly every day, all year long.

So, I think an automated system is a great idea. But, for the sake of all the DHS drones: Please, make the system smart enough to deal with the Rocket Boat.
