I don't use LLMs to answer general problems for correctness. I use them for text formatting and rewriting superpowers. GPT-4t does a good job if I need it to iterate and change slightly what it does.

For example, to inform the University of California about the content of my courses, I have to go through a course articulation which is several pages long, is written in a formal academic voice, and is pretty time consuming to create. GPT-4t can take my informal course outline and an example of a past articulation that I've written and do the job to a point where I just need to ask it to make small changes for 10 minutes and then make a last couple edits myself. I turn a couple of hours to 10 minutes and 25 cents of API calls.

(Also, sometimes when it's explaining example assignments, it thinks of nice things to include that I hadn't planned on, and I end up shamelessly using them; other times it thinks of garbage and I have to coax it to articulate what I actually meant).

I'd say GPT-4o is slightly better at the task... except it commits so strongly to its answers in the context buffer that it doesn't do effective rewrites/corrections. So I've settled into a workflow of using GPT-4o to do initial work and then use GPT-4t for the final cleanup.

> Starliner might be someday as well

Starliner can only launch 7 or eight times, due to the Atlas V, the rocket it’s been mated to, having already been EOL’d. Those launches have already been scheduled. So even with Starliner there is zero redundancy if Dragon hits a snag.
It's unlikely that BA will put a Boeing on a London-Rome flight as they don't operate short-haul Boeing planes. Yes they could put a long haul on there, yes they could wet-lease another one, but those are very unlikely situations.

If you choose to fly Ryanair on the route instead, you are almost certain to get a Boeing 737.

If you care enough then you have to vote with your wallet, it's the only say you have.
Data intended to be read as instructions for the interpreter or the cpu, is a whole different ballgame than data intended to convey values of something. High order sparse/dense matrices serialized in some xyz format is what most people think of when they hear the word "model". To switch it up and send some arbitrary python file and execute it on the client is a security nightmare. This outrageous.

EDIT: For example people saying "AI bad!" and pointing at bad effects, not mentioning whether the same thing was done before AI but sort of leaving the impression that it's new, relying on people's emphathy to override their memories.

The loan is a liability (and an asset on the bank's side) but the house itself is your asset and is treated as such. You pay capital gains tax on sold assets even if you used a loan to obtain them. For individuals there are exceptions to that specific to real estate, but corporations definitely do. It's not an asset only if it's actually owned by the bank - such as a car or machine on leasing.

I'm not an accountant either but my company has some assets we paid for with a loan, so this is a situation I know.

I mostly agree with the list, but i think there are also some arguments what are suboptimal about Autoconf:

1) We do not need to support old buggy platforms, we can generally assume that platforms are open source and their bugs can be fixed, so it is less pressure to workaround them in application software. Consequently, we do not need that detailed checks

2) We can assume there is fully working POSIX shell, so configure script and its checks could be made just in shell, no need to have M4-generated shell code.

3) It is probably better not have separate 'release-phase', so end-users could just work with code from git. Users could run Autoconf themselves to generate the configure script, but the Autoconf is not well-suited for this, as there is lack of backwards compatibility.

4) Most developers do not know M4, so they just hack around Autoconf macros without proper understanding.

5) It would be nice if all these directories that are given to configure scripts could be overridden at runtime using environment variables

Ideally, there could be POSIX shell script library that could be used to write portable configure scripts offering all the standard options and checks like ones generated by Autoconf.

The neck part of the armour is actually quite clever on closer inspection -- no complex moving part, doesn't restrict the wearer's head movements (well, other than looking at your own feet I guess) and seems to offer robust protection.

>but it seems unrealistic to expect a vehicle manufacturer who is producing only hundreds of cars per year

Fisker wanted to sell hundreds of thousands of cars.

If you want to sell a car, that is one of the things you, as a manufacturer, just have to do in order to get people to trust you.

A manufacturer who's cars can not be repaired isn't worth anyone's money. Also for every car there are a few specific parts which experience high wear and absolutely should be ordered in quantities to keep up with demand for repairs.

I would say it’s the international repercussions that put pressure:

- Boeing’s home customers don’t really have a choice,

- European customers really have an incentive to switch, even possibly Ryanair, since Boeing is a laughing stock and planes-that-are-losing-doors are a meme for internet-oriented people in Europe,

- But it also has an impact on diplomacy and on american hegemony when everyone turns away from them for industrial competence. And it’s rather the loss of the leadership of the role of the world’s safety organization of the FAA, when it was only the European safety organization who halted this nonsense.
To me it seems the "problem" shifted away (quite some time ago) from range anxiety toward to inconvenience due to charging infrastructure.

The consensus from what I have heard is that it helps you while you're taking it. Most people simply regain the weight if they stop taking, albeit at a lower rate. However, there is something to be said for the fortitude required to stay at a healthy weight, versus to reach a healthy weight, especially when your habits have been put on pause for a while. It's likely easier to break it long-term if you take the drug for a period of time first.
I wonder why TechCrunch doesn't link to their (own?) Crunchbase info about the company [1] to analyze the history of the company further.

Just means they'll get bigger discounts. Nobody seriously en-mass is avoiding Boeing, despite the popularity of the "If it's Boeing I ain't going" rhyme (which itself is a sendup of the "If it ain't Boeing I ain't going" from the 707 days, back when Boeing was an engineering company)
small beans matter if you're a corporation.

> if they don't have a CPA.

There are alternatives to CPAs, who are licensed by individual states and don't necessarily specialize in taxes. Several states, including California, require testing and registration for paid tax preparers who aren't CPAs or Enrolled Agents. EAs are the only federally-licensed tax professionals with unlimited practice rights before the IRS.

It's reasonable to assume that CPAs pass along the costs of their marketing and lobbying efforts to their clients, without any guarantee of higher quality compared to the other professionals available.
I'd make the argument that the nature of tools drives much of mass/low-cost art (that is, the majority).

Very few people have the training and complete skill set to fully customize everything.

Consequently, the further you get away from "doing the thing" (e.g. playing an instrument) to "operating the tool that does the thing" (e.g. writing music for a player piano), the stronger impression the tool leaves on your work.

OK, sorry, I missed that. But that bit about the wheel spacers is a classic "I don't understand the car-building business" mistake.

And the customer service and spare parts issues are, as well.
The causal relationship is that you’re willing to explore more options before you go into full exploit mode, and that allowed you to find a better local maxima. It’s not that hard to follow. But if you frame it as an obviously bad decision having a good eventual outcome, it’s easier to call BS on it.
Absolutely keep your load balancer for multi-node scaling, but how are you going to run you WebAssembly workloads within a given node? Unit can do that.

Or what if you have a single logical service that's composed of a mix of Wasm endpoints and static assets augmenting a traditional Python application? Unit pulls that all together into a single, unified thing to configure and deploy.

If you're writing Node, Go, or Rust you haven't had to think about application servers for a long time. Folks writing Python and PHP still do, and WebAssembly will require the same supporting infrastructure since Wasm -- by definition -- is not a native binary format for any existing platform. :)
Isn't going after torrent makers more important than random downloaders? By that logic shouldn't big music / movie companies be targeting private trackers? (Surely they have enough materials to pass the interview!)
Keeping spare parts to service cars is a pretty basic and fundamental part of being a car manufacturer.
It doesn't prove (but, uh, is rather strongly suggestive) that their earlier statements were lies or contradicted by the records they're hiding, but it is itself a lie.
Yes, but the drowsiness detection alone implies a huge variety of electronics inside the car. Besides drowsiness detection there is also emergency calling in case of a crash. So your car already has to have a significant central processor, GPS, cellular connection and all the other interconnections needed to make that work.

Seems like I didn't get the idea across clearly. While audio files are binary data, they're encoded in a specific way, and use specific playback codecs to render that binary into data suitable for playback by soundcard chipsets.

Back, way back in the day (but not as far back as punch cards, but before diskettes), binary streams were persisted to tape. Not the backup tape used today, but regular audio cassettes. The data was converted into an audio stream, similar in nature to what you'd hear during a modem handshake. On the receiving end, the audio stream was decoded back into binary data, without any loss (well, given the robustness of error correction back then, sometimes you'd have to try again). The key point being, the audio was just a transport layer for binary data, which could have been anything -- images, code, text, audio files, etc.

This is nowhere near true. The skill range from average driver (who knows nothing about car control or reacting correctly) to F1 drivers is vast. There's a huge gray area between these extremes that would be improve safety is people chose (or were forced to) get some training.

Even something as basic as taking a car control clinic once a year would improve the average driver skill and safety by a huge amount.
