Sorry, but this is not a Trump issue.

Not Bush. Not Obama. Not any of that political noise.

These injuries are largely self inflicted. To the extent that there were political decisions, it was the one fatal decision to get high paying jobs in the south by moving the manufacture of unbelievably complex airliners to South Carolina. There was obviously some political pressure that made that happen, but that was long before the Trump/Obama era, and involved mostly state level politicians and senators.

But even that required the collaboration of Boeing executives, who somehow believed that engineers were cogs in a wheel. And an industrial engineer in South Carolina, where they never built airliners and schools consistently rank in the bottom 10 states of the notoriously horrible US educational system; would somehow be just as good as an industrial engineer in Washington state, which has been the center of aviation for over a century, and has schools that consistently rank in the top 15 states in the US.

Setting aside the hundred years of institutional knowledge base you are throwing away when you make hare-brained moves like that; it's not possible to just swap one engineer for another and get the same results. The executives of an aviation company like Boeing should have known that.
Does it need to do reasoning perfectly?

If it created meta concepts from billion words on the internet and has meta models which are correct and are more and better than an avg human, isn't it actually good in reasoning?

Its a very narrow thing to say 'is that so many think its actually reasoning' to say AI is just hype or everything we are doing is a waste etc.

There are human benchmarks they are winning at. The critic could be more that we don't have enough benchmarks.

> Apple's wet dream is to have AAA games land in the Apple App Store

This is why their efforts are largely doomed.

I'd love to play more AAA games on my Macbook, but too many of them require a separate purchase from the App Store to make that happen, rather than just putting the Mac versions on Steam alongside the Windows version.

If you're going to make me choose between playing a game on my laptop and playing it on my gaming desktop, I will choose the desktop every single time. It would be nice to take more of those games with me when I travel, but it's not a frequent enough use-case for me to give up all the benefits of real PC gaming.
Also, how is success vs failure defined? Whether you implemented what you intended to on time and on budget?

That's a reasonable definition, but it doesn't capture whether the project actually achieved the business goals it set out to achieve. For many projects, it's better to fail quickly than to succeed and then discover afterwards that it wasn't worth doing the project.
Fascinating, thank you for sharing this, I'll take a deeper look.
Thanks for that info! So why is this such a big problem? Is it just that the government doesn't want to trust it's own records? If people are bypassing the law, I would think it reasonable to allow the consequences to transpire - eg evicted if you don't have a written contract.

It's 'compatible' in that they can do the work to integrate it with another rocket if needed, which isn't really saying much because most payloads are like that. It isn't compatible with Falcon 9 in its current state, and IIRC because it's wider than F9, actually flying Starliner on F9 would require a lot more structural work too (devising an appropriate aerodynamic adapter and ensuring structural loads are acceptable).

Plus, NASA crew rates the full stack rather than treating the rocket and capsule separately, so integrating Starliner on another rocket would require the crew rating process to be repeated (granted, it'd be a bit easier since F9+Dragon is already crew rated).
Idealista arguing on the ethics of squatting it's like Exxon fighting against pollution or Trump talking against bribery.

That depends. I worked with customers 25 years ago who put loads of business logic in very long and involved T-SQL stored procedures in MSSQL or PL/SQL stored procedures in Oracle. That may have made maintenance more difficult for the database developers who wrote them. It did make maintenance more difficult for the Java and .Net developers when they had to look at them, but that may have been a skill issue. These days, between (custom) data types, domains, defaults, constraints, views, materialized views, and triggers, I think there's more opportunity to regard "stored procedures" as a measure-of-last-resort. When that's invoked, I think application of the "Single Responsibility Principle" can take you a long way.
I kinda hate the need for a quick response, especially when the feature isn’t officially available yet.

2 days is “radio silent” is a bit much. They may just need time.

If this was live and running on a bunch of systems, sure. But let’s not jump to additional clickbait for no reason.

Criticize the feature. Call out its problems. Keep reporting on that. But let’s be realistic about communication.
This issue goes back as far as the site itself: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17014869

If anyone has questions about this, take a look at those links and if there's something unanswered there, I'd be happy to take a crack at it.
My personal observation is that a series of incompetent executives from GE caused a LOT more damage to Boeing than any damage incurred from ex-McDonnell-Douglass executives. Boeing and GE have always had an excessively cozy relationship, predating the McD merger.

For two of the past three decades, the corporate leaders of Boeing were former GE managers: Stonecipher (eight years as CEO and COO), McNerney (ten years) and Calhoun as from 2020 to present. It is fair to say that, because of the number of former GE top managers at Boeing, it almost turned into a division of GE.

In reality most cases of squatting are financial assets that property owners have no plan to rent to anyone. In an area where housing space that people can afford are very few and far between, nbuying properties for the sole purpose of speculation can be seen on a similar level of unethicality as occupying a space you don't own.
I have seen this happen with a building across the street from where I lived. There were 5 large men who could have easily been bouncers in Oakland outside with "FueraOkupa" shirts. The woman left later that day.
I don't really think they want to make Windows _better_. All they want is to push more ads and other crap in the user's face.
IMHO, your comment is super nitpicky.
Here's the recommendations - https://www.ontario.ca/page/housing-affordability-task-force...

#1 is Set a goal of building 1.5 million new homes in ten years.
#2 is ... set “growth in the full spectrum of housing supply” ... as the most important residential housing priorities...
#3 is ... Allow “as of right” residential housing up to four units and up to four storeys on a single residential lot. ...

etc.

So a lot of these boil down to build more houses / let people build more houses.

Structurally, the Canadian housing market is much less broken than the US, IMO. Toronto and Vancouver are adding housing at rates unparalleled in any US city outside of Texas.

But Canada also has population growth ~10X that of the US.
Crossover is a paid product, and even then has pretty poor DX12 support compared to Proton. Up until a couple years ago it didn't work at all.

Again; if Apple had just supported Vulkan alongside Metal like a normal non-paranoid company, their users wouldn't be caught in the middle of this. It's such a blatantly obvious solution with no user-facing downsides. It's shocking that anyone would defend the status-quo when it's so notoriously and obviously broken.

Close to orbital payload launch, likely human rated in the future: Vulcan Centaur + Dream Chaser, Superheavy + Starship

> Do you often send the auto-incremented int (that would be the default substitute to this) when communicating with others?

Frequently yes. It is extremely common to communicate about specific records using the ID for that record. The fact that this sort of behavior is extremely common is pretty clearly indicated by the question itself.

> There are so many ways to query a particular user's data, and they would all depend on what you're trying to do, needing the specific key would mean you should have access to it anyway

A responsible organization at scale with limit and log access to customer data. I should be able to determine if two people are talking about the same customer record without needing access to that record's PII.

It is much better to have an artificial key that is linked to this data. There is no upside to the natural key and many, many downsides.
Are there any command-line tools for zip or similar that allow you to predefine a dictionary over one or more files, and then use that dictionary to compress small files?

Which would require the dictionary as a separate input when decompressing, of course?
It is how it works if you are replying to someone who claims "If you really think about what an LLM is you would think there is no way that leads to general purpose AI". The counter example is human beings are considered general purpose intelligence and we are complex, but fundamentally predictable systems (not by us today), with (as far as we can tell) deterministic outputs based on the state of the universe (including physical being like brain and chemicals).
3 is tournament play at least in the US if i recall
I disagree. There are a lot of idiosyncrasies about monsters in NetHack such that getting good at NetHack is 99.9% about learning the NetHack world, not the real world. The werecreature game mechanic is no different than the POI or HALLU effect, so I don't think the AI needs any special knowledge. I

bet it comes down to how much memory the algorithm has, since the transformation might occur way later than being bitten, while most poison kills are fairly quick. The problem is NetHack requires you to have at minimum 1000 turns of memory to know when to pray. Even more if you want to keep track of where stuff was.
Well that does happen. It happened around me with a few houses that are empty during the winter (whatever you think of that): the squatters got refused service in the town by the bars, restaurants and super markets. People would accidentally walk into them so they would fall over. Every one drives straight at them when they walk only to correct at the last moment and shout profanities at them. People spit on them and say it’s the wind, throw hot coffee on them saying it’s an accident etc. Until they leave; you think the policia or guardia that has their familia living their all their lives and are probably family of the occupied houses is going to file anything? Didn’t take long two times it happened.

Of course in less close knit communities it would be different; a third time was the house of an english bloke who only came over for the summer; they put all his stuff outside in the rain in the winter, made a weed grow place out of it and until they had proof of the weed, they couldn’t get them out. House was completely fucked when they got it back including the furniture which was outside all winter. Squatting is one thing and you could agree with it, but this shit is insane. And trying to get them doesn’t work as they clearly don’t have money to begin with.
> It was getting rid of policy/thinking that allowed the "ownership" of a critical service to be so opaque/siloed that it took half a day to reboot a computer.

No 1 got rid of any policy. Cloud meant any team could just take out their company card and sign up. Same as how SaaS got popular.

The problem is, what is critical? That server was non-production and there were 100s to 1000s of things more critical to deal with. It was low priority.

Maybe you know but to many up the chain in many orgs - they don't know. I've seen way worse scenarios - things on someone's laptop with ports opened that were production critical.

Cloud isn't the cure, you're right, but it forced a lot of change.
I actually did a full write-up on this here fyi: https://photonlines.substack.com/p/intuitive-and-visual-guid.... You can skip most of this and scroll down to the end-section called 'The Mental Model for Understanding LLMs' where I try to map how transformers are able to mimic human thinking. I think that comparing them to auto-associative / auto-regressive networks is actually a really good analogy FYI and I do believe a lot of human learning is based on this.
While it might be true, I'd recommend to check if the licenses do, in fact, recurse this way.

They might not.
With that definition even bacteria have inner monologue.
South Africa was also their ally in that region.
How is this comparable to Chatwoot, except the WABA integration?
Totally agree, and I called out that my scale is small so cloud makes a lot more financial sense for me (especially as a solo founder, I don't want to manage more hardware than I have to already).
I think one of the challenges (and let's be really clear, Boeing has MANY issues) is that there's a double standard (or at least different expectations).

How many SpaceX rockets and failures have there been? (And that's not a knock on SpaceX, either - this stuff is hard. Combining precision and technology with 'controlled explosion' is going to be a challenge).

But as a NASA person said - NASA-funded contracts "can't" have failures. They obviously do, but he was more talking to the acceptability, political and otherwise. One or two launchpad explosions of a taxpayer funded vehicle and you're fighting Congressional demands to shut down the entire program. SpaceX provides a layer of abstraction and indirection to that, so they can move faster - "Who cares if we blow up 10 in the next couple of years to get to one that works".
Well most people aren't criminals so no I don't think "everyone would be squatting houses all the time" is accurate under any realistic scenario.

What happens if the police don't respond? You discover them at the beginning of a long holiday weekend? It's a second residence and you discover them as you open the door to let your family stay there?

The mental gymnastics people will go through to try to justify someone breaking & entering and trespassing on someone else's private property is insane. They are criminals and should be treated as such, regardless of when you find them, regardless of whether you report it immediately or take a few days to try to reason with them or not.
The Surface truly is Apple-priced garbage. I have had several and didn't like any of them. I have a new one now.

We made the mistake of rolling them out with Windows 10. Trackpad and screen input are easy to disable accidentally. Real PITA.
If you read through the article, it becomes a bit clearer exactly why it still happens.
Nothing real, only empty promises from politicians. They say they are working on it, but I'm sure that it is not going to happen in short term.
Neither of those are methodologies for actual science, but rather publication and funding issues. The methodology most closely related to peer reviews would be idea of reproducibility. There are plenty of peer reviewed things that fail reproducibility.
Please don't do that anymore! Windows requires a page file. Page files should not be on a ram disk. There is a hierarchy of memory. Temp files should be on a disk where they should be.
You can't outspend the industry labs given the compute inflation in transformer architectures (unless you are ridiculously well connected in the venture/sovereign funding communities).

And realistically, do we need another GPT4 evaluation paper?
Vulkan is how Direct3D is implemented on non-Windows operating systems, thanks to DXVK.
> This is why their efforts are largely doomed

I'm not as certain about that as you are. I think there are - as always - different streams withing that mega corporation. It is probably sales-oriented people wanting nothing but AAA games on the App Store and be okay with the Mac not being a major choice for games if that doesn't happen. The other stream is probably more enthusiastic (especially with the Apple Silicon being "enough" gaming machines for 1080p@60) and wants to bring gaming over - that is probably the stream that made GPTK happen and give a licensing exception to crossover to be able to integrate it in their department. I'm in the later department, hoping we will see a proton-like GPTK that can run my steam library.
Misinformation poses a bigger threat to democracy than you might think
It would be really hard to prove in court that someone's picture of you was direct vs incidental, especially with how good cameras are. In a few years time, if I wanted to illegally take a "direct" picture of someone I was creeping on or stalking, or just film something that would embarrass someone, I'll be able to whip out my 100 gigapixel camera and take a benign picture/video of the overall area and simply crop the subject later.
Isn't "Christian" one of those predicates where identifying as such (public profession of faith) is what makes you one? I mean unless you're going for a denomination that requires baptism.
To my knowledge, zero. If you really mean Jews, I think there are roughly 40 between both houses of Congress. None of them are Israeli citizens. Jews are not automatically citizens of Israel though they do have dedicated pathway to obtaining it, but it's not as simple as merely showing up and claim you are Jewish.
Why should they respond to anyone and everyone regarding a feature that is not even on final build and has not been made officially available?
This is a very good take on the current state of LLMs. They are able to articulate surprisingly well and LLMs or something similar will definitely be part of a larger AI model in the future. They are good creative aids, but they should not be trusted.
Okay, now input the family trees in the appendix of Lord of the Rings and see if it can calculate how many cousins Frodo has, and their exact degree of separation.
AFAIK the point of using MDMA for PTSD isn't that it makes you high and happy and then you don't have PTSD - it's that it makes you high and able to talk about experiences you couldn't without MDMA. The therapy is a big part of the process.
Great companion tool to tailhn (https://github.com/chfritz/tailhn), which allows you to `tail` all new HN posts on the terminal where you can use `grep` and other things to filter, e.g., `tailhn | grep -r robot` to see all new posts about robotics.
Yes, but I'm not sure why you would.
Indeed:

1. any percentage prediction like "99,999999999999%" chance of rain is still 100% correct if it doesn't rain.

2. its my understanding (from a trip to the local weather bureau) that an "80% change of rain" means something like "when conditions in the past were like they are now, it rained 4 out of 5 times".

Happy to be educated otherwise.

Regarding “1+3x=22”, I’m actually not sure, the number words certainly appear in my head when solving the equation. But even then, I would count “1+3x=22” as constituting language. Perception of sound, G-forces, and dancing don’t perform type-2 reasoning by themselves, so I don’t think your argument applies there.

Regarding your edit, no, I think the key aspect of the kind of reasoning we are missing in current AI is the ability to hold the reasoning in your mind, and to iterate on it and evaluate it (judge it) within your mind.
Not sure how this addresses some of the real concerns behind Recall, an example being if my password manager is open and showing data I don't want saved anywhere else.
You are living in pure fantasy. The squatters would simply fix the thermostats and disconnect the sprays.

The buildings are occupied because the owner do not live there. Squatters target housings that are left empty by owners who are just speculating on the market.
Great article and tips. I've heard all of these before separately of course but having them all in one article makes it nice. As I was reading each one, I thought, these all sound like solutions (or at least helpful tips) I've heard for people who have ADHD, and lo and behold, I see the last section.
