Yeah, we do teams channel PR notifications already. My tech lead is good, but green. I think maybe some room for improvement comments from them (or another senior member) are being weaponized by the department head. I suppose I could disclose my disability to them for sympathy. But that also seems inappropriately policial to me, and could just be used against me anyways.
I believe the FDAs position is that the “may contain” wording was not legally sufficient. The product has to either contain the allergen, or not contain the allergen, and be labeled appropriately. Which is what led to bakeries adding sesame to everything to begin with.
What is the strategy behind the dizzying pace of product changes in the R/Python space? I heard that RStudio was a great product, yet they have to redo everything again, of course also renaming the company as is also standard practice in the Python "scientific" market.

Is it Jupyter envy? Why is it not possible to keep one good product and stay with it?

I wish MatLab licenses weren't so expensive, at this point I'd just buy one and sit all this churn out.

> There isn't really such thing as a "hallucination" and honestly I think people should be using the word less. Whether an LLM tells you the sky is blue or the sky is purple, it's not doing anything different. It's just spitting out a sequence of characters it was trained be hopefully what a user wants. There is no definable failure state you can call a "hallucination," it's operating as correctly as any other output.

This is a very "closed world" view of the phenomenon which looks at an LLM as a software component on its own.

But "hallucination" is a user experience problem, and it describes the experience very well. If you are using a code assistant and it suggests using APIs that don't exist then the word "hallucination" is entirely appropriate.

A vaguely similar analogy is the addition of the `let` and `const` keywords in JS ES6. While the behavior of `var` was "correct" as-per spec the user experience was horrible: bug prone and confusing.

"They could've done 10 tubes in series at a reasonably safe 60 VDC, and they'd only need 20 amps."

Thermionic vacuum tubes of this type usually have a specified maximum heater/cathode voltage rating which varies considerably according to design. Exceeding that rating and one risks a short between the heater and cathode. For these types of tubes heaters can safely operate up to 200V negative with respect to the cathode and about 100V positive.

In my post I suggested substituting a tube that's more common in the West—the 12AT7, it has the advantage of having a 'tapped' heater which means it can be wired in parallel mode to operate at 6.3V or in series mode at 12.6V. At 12.6V the current would be halved: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12AT7 (pins 4 and 5, the tap on pin 9).
The code signing certificates that MS requires are ridiculously expensive. It's a cartel of certificate isseuers. It's a downright robbery. We need something similar to Let's Encrypt for code signing.

I've been looking at other coder jobs and also thinking about switching industries. It would be a shame to waste over a decade of experience, MSIS, and multiple certs just because the tech market is tight and I'll lose out to non-disabled people 99 times out of 100 (I don't code screen well).
It's safer in a way to guard against these situations, but it seems like they don't intend you to do that often because there are more downsides outweighing it. Proto2 had the "required" feature that had its own issues. Our team trusts to some degree that the user actually read the API spec, and so far it's been ok.

I can imagine message nullness being clearer in languages with optional unwrapping like JS. Like foo.bar.baz gives an error if bar is null, and if you want default-0 you use foo.bar?.baz. Idk if that's what happens though.
This can’t be resolved by the FDA; the systemic issue is that industrial baking is permitted to operate facilities at monopoly scale. Breaking up the Bakery Belles would absolutely lead to the return of distinctions between different facilities that enabled sesame-free production to exist in the first place.
That's a lot of effort. No point getting into crime if you're going to have to work so much. The other way to think about it is these people were caught because they were being so blatant about it. There are probably lots more cases like this where the criminals are a tiny bit smarter about covering their tracks.

You can implement pipes via operator overloading in Python. Whether or not you should is a different question:

class Pipe:
__slots__ = ("value",)

def __init__(self):
self.value = None

def __or__(self, x):
return x(self.value)

def __ror__(self, x):
self.value = x
return self

v = Pipe()

def double(x):
return x + x

def triple(x):
return x + x + x

pipeline_result = 3 + 7 |v| double |v| triple |v| double
normal_result = double(triple(double(3+7)))
assert pipeline_result == normal_result
No. See the above article for more information, specifically the discussion linked [1].

A phone contract is on one's credit report. If they don't pay, the phone company will try to recover the debt like any other debt (via nagging, and then selling the debt to a collection agency). It's not fundamentally different from not paying the bill at the end of the month.
Well the definition of deception, according to Google and how I understand it, is:

> deliberately cause (someone) to believe something that is not true, especially for personal gain.

Emphasis on the personal gain part. It seems like you have a different definition.

There's no point in arguing about definitions, but I'm a big believer in that if you can identify a difference in the definitions people use early into a conversation, you can settle the argument at that.
Of course the market is small. Not sure what your point is.

My point is it's not profitable for a large company like Bimbo to target that small segment. A smaller company, not trying to compete with Bimbo, can target that segment knowing Bimbo and other large companies are going to stay out of it. I don't understand why you don't see that as a solution. That kind of thing exists all over. Half the products at Whole Foods or maybe Erewhon are from small indie companies catering to small markets of people that want those things. It's arguably no different than a market that carries foods that aren't found at big chains like a market that has product from India or Russia or China.

If the market is too small then either those that need that need their special foods either have to pay $$$$ until there is a market or make them themselves. That seems normal to me. It's not other people's responsibility to provide for your needs.
That’s gotta be the most ignorant opinion I’ve heard on the subject. This clearly is coming from someone who has had the benefit of good health, or hasn’t had the misfortune of a critical ER visit.
When I got addicted to opioids, the doctors didn’t ask me what I wanted in the ER. I got Dilauded as they prepped the OR. I wasn’t lucid enough or cognizant enough to give informed consent. During my recovery, there wasn’t an option of alternate anything - I got a lot of morphine and then oxy. I was discharged 4 weeks later from the hospital with a 3 month prescription for 120mg of opioids per day. That would kill most people.

My story is not unique. It is so common it could be a troupe. The doctors saved my life in one way, then discharged me into a hell of addiction that it took 9 months of serious determined effort to overcome.

Then, some uninformed keyboard warrior like yourself comes along and blames people in my situation? Maybe you should have read a little less Opioid Wars and a little more Current Events. You clearly know nothing about this problem.
Not sure about compute. But

> Achieving higher scandium concentrations in aluminum nitride films can help increase RF filter performance. Pulsed laser deposition can take the scandium concentration in the film to at least 40%, up from the previous 30% limit

The first thing that came to mind when reading this was RF synthetic aperture performance for jamming-resistant directional antennas in military applications. These seemingly incremental improvements can have huge real world consequences.

Imagine the Starlink antenna but with 10x the performance, or a radar that can withstand 10x the jamming or hide completely because it needs 10% the power. I wonder if that's what's possible here.

Vaporising doesn’t help (the mass hasn’t changed and neither has the velocity).

Deflection by vaporising a very small part of the object can work, if you can spot it coming and hit it in time.

Assuming you can somehow detect a 1cm piece 1km away, you have approximately 10ms to accurately apply enough power to deflect it.

I won't delve into the possibility that you might have experienced inconvenience had you not been vaccinated. It appears that you're primarily concerned with your own interests and failed to grasp the broader implications during the COVID-19 pandemic, a perspective you seem to maintain even now. The choice was yours*.

*Except if you were residing under totalitarian regimes. Where they might actually forced you to get vaccinated.

There's a commonly understood definition of "force" among the general population, which you and op are attempting to distort by cherry-picking definitions from various dictionaries, often focusing on the less common usages found at the bottom of these entries. (If you go back and think about your china argument you might just understand this.)

> I don’t think this is true everywhere in the US.

It’s not clear that the religious test clause per se does, but the Supreme Court has ruled that the First Amendments religion clauses (the Free Exercise and Establishment clauses) include the same protection and equivalent protections to those in the First Amendment are applied against the states by the 14th Amendment. See, Torcaso v. Watkins, 367 U.S. 488 (1961), cited in your own article. So, yes, the Constitutionally-protected right exists eveywhere in the US.

That article just notes the laws are on the books, despite being Constitutionally unenforceable. (Maryland's was the one specifically struck down in Torcaso.)
To be fair, it sounds insane to many of us living in the US, too.
This was one case, and it's not the first time someone went and just checked for the most blatantly suspicious case and discovered fraud. It is safe to say there is a lot more going on that is being perpetrated by people with better opsec.

Its not as nefarious as you think, often its about avoiding a large legal bill for your lawyers to review all the crap before sending it in. I know when i had to deal with this a decade ago the bill for review came out to almost as much as the bs settlement offer we got from the government (which was less than half of just the projected cost of going to court to fight and almost certainly win). We settled because we couldnt afford to fight. This regulatory stuff is basically an extortion racket all around.
Same here, but it took me much longer than that. Partners like this are out there, but in my experience they're somewhat rare, plus you still have to deal with all the other compatibility/attraction issues present in dating (i.e., you might meet someone who's really lovely and supportive, but they're just not romantically interested in you, or the two of you just don't make a great couple for some reason).

One piece of advice I do have, though: hold out for someone who's a great partner who you really enjoy spending time with. Don't settle for someone who obviously isn't just because other people are pressuring you to "find someone".
As a regular R/bash/python user, I think the Posit philosophy is increasingly to break down barriers between the languages. It's no longer an either/or relationship, you can use both. And some packages or features that have been ported to python are just objectively worse in that language, so the want for R is definitely there.

Also, a lot of the Posit team are fully "bilingual", it's not like the old guard of academic R contributors. My impression is they appreciate both languages for what they have to offer.

For me, I'm apathetic to the languages, the only thing I care about is the output.
Everytime a discussion around UPF comes up, there is the question about the definition and people do often get lost in the detail.

There are some very good definitions and approaches to UPF's, like many have said the NOVA classification has a good definition and classification matrix.

However, nothing's perfect and these definitions are trying to generalise all possible foods and cannot replace having an understanding of nutrition that allows you to make some of your own decisions.

In your example, a "good" cheese bought from the store would be considered a processed food, but the question is to what degree is it a processed food and how much does the food represent its natural form.

In the NOVA classification, a brie would be considered a processed food, but not ultra processed like a coke or chocolate bar. Having said that, just because something isn't considered processed, doesn't mean it's something we should eat in abundance.

Rstudio came out a long time ago at this point. I actually think it feels quite dated personally.

I don't like the data being used for marketing etc but I also don't know how to solve the issue. The doctor might need to share the data with, the company that runs their records system, Quest and or similar service companies, both of those companies probably have parts of their infrastructure run by other companies.

So, the regs would have to say something like, you can share this data to any one you contract with and anyone they contract with and on and on but it can only be used for X, Y, and Z and suspect it's impossible to define XYZ both in a way that "protects your data" and in a way that lets companies provide these 3rd party services.

To be more concrete. If my doctor uses MedRecords as the company that provides their patient tracking serice, and MedRecords uses AWS to store the data then I effectively have to give permission to my doctor, to MedRecords, and to Amazon. Further, the fact that I paid with a CCard means some data is send to Visa or Mastercard and to the bank the card is with so we're up to 5 companies. Some doctors have equipment that itself uses the cloud like say a modern MRI or CAT scanner. So with those companies and their providers were up to probably1 10 companies

My point being, this seems like a hard problem.

I wonder if there is some other solution like, make it illegal to use the data for marketing or insurance rates but otherwise it's ok to share for "legitimate business purposes" (lol)
While more languages are great, compared to translation by the better LLMs Google Translate leaves much to be desired. Accurate and appropriate translation requires sensitivity to the context and purpose of the translation. While it is possible to get better translations from ChatGPT, Claude, etc. by prompting them with information about the text and requests for how it should be translated, Google Translate takes a one-size-fits-all approach, where a text can be translated in only one way.

Even when not explicitly prompted, the LLMs will adapt the translations based on the context. A simple example: Japanese uses different words to describe older and younger siblings. An older sister is ane, and a younger sister is imōto (also written imouto). When asked to translate “I was born in 2003, and my sister was born in 2002” into Japanese, both ChatGPT 4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet correctly translate “sister” as ane; for “I was born in 2001, and my sister was born in 2002,” they both correctly use imōto. Google Translate, in contrast, uses imōto for both.

LLMs are also able to answer questions about the text and the translation. After Claude correctly translated “I was born in 2003, and my sister was born in 2002” into Japanese, I asked a follow-up: “Why did you translate ‘sister’ as ane?” Its response:

I appreciate you asking about that translation choice. Let me explain:

I used "姉" (ane) for "sister" because the context implies an older sister. In Japanese, there are specific terms for older and younger siblings:

1. 姉 (ane) - older sister
2. 妹 (imouto) - younger sister

Since the sentence mentions that the sister was born in 2002, which is before the speaker's birth year of 2003, it indicates that the sister is older. Therefore, I chose "姉" (ane) as the appropriate term. This distinction between older and younger siblings is an important aspect of the Japanese language and reflects the significance of age relationships in Japanese culture. If the sister had been younger, or if the age relationship wasn't clear from the context, a different translation might have been more appropriate. For example:

- For a younger sister: 妹は2002年に生まれました。(Imouto wa 2002-nen ni umaremashita.)
- For a sister of unspecified age: 私の姉妹は2002年に生まれました。(Watashi no shimai wa 2002-nen ni umaremashita.)

Would you like me to elaborate on any other aspects of the translation?
What are you talking about? Where was America getting their opioids before The Sacklers? Go ahead and pull a chart of heroin deaths vs. years and draw a vertical bar on where Purdue launched their widespread marketing misinformation and disinformation.

This is the largest and most deadly episode of addictiveness since the tobacco companies were marketing cigarettes as healthy. If this were a fire, you’d be arguing:

“Look, America has always had fires. Sure Purdue started fires in all 50 states that spread into the forest, but they were small when Purdue started them. Now, there is a blaze that has spread uncontrolled across the Continental US. So, obviously there were other parallel organizations starting fires.”

No. That doesn’t follow. Purdue stared the fires. They added tinder with marketing misinformation, then they inhibited any attempt at controlling it with active disinformation campaigns to confuse doctors and regulators about the root cause. Now, it’s a wild uncontrolled inferno, but they started the first fires.
