Improper alloying, improper heat treating, improper rolling/forming.

Trying to back out what you actually have (if you don't trust the supply chain) can be expensive metallurgical analysis involving destructive testing, spectrometers, and electron microscopes.

The real way industry solves this problem is mill test reports produced by the suppliers and careful documentation of chain-of-custody.

Unless you don't care, then you just buy whatever from China and pretend you trust the counterfeit documentation that comes with it.

I'm quite disappointed with latest WWDC - for developers they haven't thrown any bone or carrot. I was hoping they would allow for developers to run prompts locally even if not on iPhone then at least on M1 iPads/Macbooks. Sort of like preinstalled LLM with ollama. There are many ideas that could be useful for user but hard to pull off because of either business model and/or latency.
So if we use stuff to make stuff easier why are people still trying to bang nails in with a piece of glass by using react when easy was using html/css/js made easier with htmx?
That's 80+% of the companies here, so I doubt it really is the relevant factor.
I can't remember the last time I used Siri honestly
I suspect there’s a few factors preventing that - cost of server capacity, the UX of higher latency (it would be for possibly all ML stuff?)

> Sadly, most people would not fund the electric company to keep their lights on as they throw thousands at sport merchandise, including a new TV that they cannot power on.

People fund it with their electric bill every month. If the business isn't viable and can only stay open through massive government subsidies that's a much more fundamental problem.

Why does the government get to decide what is best for people to spend their money on? If consumers really would prefer to spend money in TV and sport merchandise, well it's their damn money to spend and none of the government's concern.
It's not about taking versus not taking. The rules of the game that we've put in place favor the haves. The end state of that is a return to fiefs and serfs, if we don't see a revolution first.

We need to create new rules to the game that give the advantage to the small. That lets us keep a "free market" without the homogenization and consolidation. For example, consider progressive taxes based on business size/revenue/etc. If there was a 90% top level corporate tax rate based on company size/revenue, we'd reverse the trend towards mergers and consolidations literally overnight. If most government regulations were relaxed for small businesses (say <= 20 employees) it would provide a massive boost to entrepreneurship. Instead we have rules that favor the big guys.

Someone pointed out in a similar discussion: "It's not the phone itself that they issue, it's the content."

Yesterday there was a debate locally about screen time, both for adults and children, and how much is to much. It's always about the phone, the iPad or the TV, never about the content. At this point I'm leaning more towards, well, we tried social media, streaming, online gaming and funny meme site and our monkey brains can't deal with it, so let's just kill it off already. Ban the whole thing.

Many companies, especially those supported by ads, apparently can't help themselves, they will exploit any weakness in human psychology to make a quick buck of our attention. So you know what, let's just ban all of it and admit it was a mistake and keep the proven good part. You're not going to be doom scrolling your banking app, your TOTP app or your home automation. Keep those apps and just ban attention stealing algorithms, apps and websites so that we can move on.

> one can't generate any revenue from land and lots are limited to a single tenant - which seems to be the norm.

Just because a system is at equilibrium does not mean that a better equilibrium is impossible. There are significant advantages beyond unused plots. Incentives in general will change.

The goal is not simply to repossess unused lots. Although you are correct that as a side effect, it does make for a much more efficient resource allocation. The other massive advantage is that because the supply of land is fixed, a land value tax has a unique property of having zero deadweight loss. This makes it the most efficient tax possible. Milton Friedman was in favor of it for this reason.
I mostly agree with you. OpenAI is reportedly still doing great in terms of revenue, but Apple's implementation is magical if it performs as shown in the keynote. In my opinion, it's the best implementation of LLM/AI in a consumer device. It's amusing to think back to all the buzz around Humane's AI pin.

I am guessing that it was real titanium, just a different grade/alloy/treating process being passed off as something it was not or it's possible it's even the same quality/grade, just of unknown provenance (fell off the back of a truck) and its documents were forged. Seems kinda likely as Boeing says (as I understand from the article) they have tested the parts and it's the correct grade of titanium.

That's consistent with their past releases. First version of Siri worked only on the newly launched iPhone 4s too.
Sure there are ways it could technically be implemented, but that doesn't say whether it should be implemented. Why is an LVT inheritly good for us? And is it so good that we should trick the public into not realizing a new tax was forced on them and the government was stealing more of their money?

I always hated notebooks personally as I found them clunky and inefficient, but never wanted to yuck someone else’s yum.

Then I started mentoring a junior staff member who worked on another project. The lead of that project was a physicist who wrote primarily in Jupyter notebooks. Like, thousands and thousands of lines of code. This junior staff member spent like 90% of her time confused and copying-and-pasting between notebooks. She had no idea what a virtual environment was and her go-to solution for solving import errors was to nuke and re-download the repo and re-run the setup script, or create a new notebook from scratch containing all the prerequisite user functions.

Was top 10 most horrifying things I’ve ever seen. I advised her immediately to stop using notebooks for development and sent her a few Python tutorials. Luckily though she just left the project and got on a better one instead.
Since it's not ready yet I think "Apple beta tests new AI features on 10% of the current iPhone users".

> The lisp source code encodes more information, and what is added is highly relevant to the process of reading it

Lisp isn't that easy when you don't have supporting tools, mainly a coding editor that auto-indents, re-indents, and shows matching parenthesis. I think you're being a bit over-optimistic there.

Forth, OTOH, has been used with dumb terminals over serial lines. Old Forth systems even often featured an integrated code editor for this purpose, on systems with very limited memory. This was possible because Forth doesn't need a complex editor to be comfortable... When you don't neglect factoring, naming, etc.

The Expression Problem and its solutions (2016)
As a global society we've generally agreed that if you are under the age of 18 you are not grown enough to make decisions that could put yourself or society at risk.

- You cannot sign up for the military, even though you might know how to aim and fire a weapon.

- You cannot vote in elections.

- You cannot purchase nicotine, alcohol, or other drugs. (In the USA this age is higher at 21)

So the takeaway is that yes, teenagers are too fragile and don't have the risk assessment capacity to work some of these dangerous jobs.

Yes, we have OSHA and other safety regulations. Still the jobs are dangerous. Adults are more likely to call this out or recognize when these regulations are being disregarded, but a 14 year old might not realize that what they are doing is more dangerous than it should be.
That is true for a big case, but not for a backpack carried on the breast.

The article focuses only on the near time statistics and is missing out the long term statistics as well as effects of the COVID19 pandemic.

The effects of the COVID19 pandemic were that the bankruptcies law was temporarily changed, which had the effect that companies that were already on a way to bankruptcy could live longer. That is also the reason why in 2020 the numbers were at a low point for almost 20 years. Then in 2021 the numbers soared. So the the 2024 prediction will be still lower than the 2021 numbers.

The long term view can be seen here: https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/4898/umfrage/...
> Hiring on merit will be a permanent policy at Scale.

> We believe that people should be judged by the content of their character — and, as colleagues, be additionally judged by their talent, skills, and work ethic.

> There is a mistaken belief that meritocracy somehow conflicts with diversity. I strongly disagree. No group has a monopoly on excellence. A hiring process based on merit will naturally yield a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and ideas. Achieving this requires casting a wide net for talent and then objectively selecting the best, without bias in any direction. We will not pick winners and losers based on someone being the “right” or “wrong” race, gender, and so on. It should be needless to say, and yet it needs saying: doing so would be racist and sexist, not to mention illegal.

Seems like a prelude to some bad news coming out about Scale. Otherwise why would you write a post like this?

You're right, axing all your connections at once will leave you an island. But we can do better.

I'm hosting some metal in a cheap colo that runs a few VMs with a Matrix home server, Jitsi and NextCloud. Slowly but surely I gave up all the platforms mentioned in your parent and made it easy for people to join. I have a techie friend who helps me evangelise to our mutual friend group and we share the maintenance work and bills.

There are amazing online communities that build the software, and then more amazing communities that automate almost all the work away. Nowadays you can fire an Ansible script at a VPS and bob's your uncle. The technical work is mostly done; we're there, we can do (edit: okay almost) anything big tech can for very little money.

That was never the problem. The problem is the stickiness of the big platforms. They have the network effect going for them, their UX designers generally do a better job of making sure anyone can jump on almost instantly, and most of all, the big players have staying power. We can grow an organic internet. The tech is there and we can show our peers that a non-enshittified (un-enshittified?) world is possible. All we need to do now is stay in the game for the long haul.

Our little community is tiny and we don't need the growth curve SV has been chasing for the last two decades. We don't care about conquering the market. It just needs to be there. So if you host anything where you have the final say just offer the option and I'm pretty sure the people that care will form a community around it. It's working for us.

On the contrary, it’s a backport of the (IMO) most useful notebook feature to work also for regular scripts. It’s been ported to most code editors by now (VSCode “Interactive Python”, Vim “hydrogen”, Emacs “code-cells.el”, Sublime “Send Code” extension, Spyder has it built-in, etc.), so a lot of people have found that feature useful.

In contrast to Jupyter, you’re still working with plain text files and not JSON, and you don’t end up saving the cached data in the same file as the script.

In contrast to Quarto, Jupytext, etc., this is still just a code file and not a MarkDown file with code blocks. Not all editors have fully working “go to definition” etc. in MarkDown code blocks, and in any case, many people need a standalone script that can be placed in an HPC job queue after initial local testing is done.
Exactly! AD FS is part of Tier 0 in the same way as Active Directory itself and needs to be treated and secured as such. Of course, security goes a long way when it's part of a holistic approach like zero trust.

Mitigation is also not really possible when using SSO. One way would be to require the target service to require a second factor in addition to a valid SAML token, but then each user needs to keep current its second factor, whatever it might be, in each target service. This get unmanageable quite quick not to mention that there are basically no SaaS or self-hosted applications out there that support SSO and a second factor at the same time.
Which side are you talking about?
Sure, i answered the literal question.

You are correct that this is what the article says - testing suggests it is in fact titanium, just maybe not the right treatment.

That would be harder, but one would think that a company making airframes for aviation, in a highly regulated environment/etc, would occasionally send off samples to double check them.

Getting titanium analyzed to a degree you could tell whether it is the right grade/alloy is cheap and fast - I can get it done for <$100 per sample.

Given the cost of what they are producing, how few they produce, and how much they sell them for, and how quickly you can get this kind of thing done, they could test every single lot of titanium they get and neither increase cost, nor slow down production.

This also isn't a case where there are lots of people in the middle - this supplier is the ones machining and producing the final product from titanium alloys.

Also, if you change suppliers, wouldn't you at least test the stuff they give you the first time?
