This really resonates and tracks with my experience. Really like the vector sum concept, as most metrics for productivity tend to be pretty naff (not good).

Some of the issue, in my own admittedly limited experience, is that some "important" folks often want the flashy ideas; they want someone to tell them there's a quick fix or a framework to solve the problem in 3x workshops over two weeks. It's unfortunately human nature to want the easiest solution. edit -- plus i think a lot comes down to fear (no control), which is also a thing.

Managers also like metrics. It makes their end of month presentations look good. Which is important otherwise the team gets looked down on compared to all the other managers with amazing metrics.

But, I could totally see something like this working well at smaller companies where stuff like that isn't a thing.
Pound for pound, the Sacklers probably did more damage to America than any other drug dealers in history. More damage than any serial killer or mass shooter. In my mind they should be considered public enemies 1 through N. I sincerely hope they face civil and criminal liabilities for what they’ve done.
Yes that’s a good point! I’m designing some RP2040 based LED earrings and the static power consumption is significant for sure. I’ve designed them so that when you place them next to a magnet, an ultra low power consumption magnetic switch completely cuts off battery power, but when they are on and in use that static draw hurts.
If you run the numbers the subsidy offered by US carriers always ends up costing you more than just buying a new phone for full price with a cheaper plan.

Your "free" iPhone isn't free if it involves (1) giving them your current one which is worth $500+ in a private sale and (2) signing up for a 3 year contract at $100+ a month.
This is not really accurate. To get meaningful emissions from normal electrodes, you need to heat them up to about 2000 °C. Vacuum tubes operate at 700 °C or something like that. The trick is that one electrode is doped with special rare-earth additives that greatly increase electron emissions. The same treatment isn't applied to the rest of the device. So, even if all internal components have the same temperature, a vacuum tube can still work (to some extent).
It's true though, AU10TIX is connected to Israeli intelligence which seems to be a reason why X switched to Stripe. I think the confusion was whether it was Stripe or AU10TIX.

> AU10TIX is a subsidiary of ICTs International, a company established by former members of the Shin Bet and El Al airline security agents.

Ron Atzmon, the founder of AU10TIX, spent his military service with the Shin Bet's notorious unit 8200. Which also produced the infamous Israeli Pegasus spyware used by repressive regimes like Saudi Arabia to spy on citizens.

This makes sense from a practical standpoint, but from a litigative standpoint not having the warning label on those products with allergens exposes the company to liability.

I also suspect that if there is an incident, this company might be able to have the government found liable for preventing it from warning customers.
I wish I could upvote this twice. Many people only consider monetary cost as "cost" because their own time is basically free. But when you have to pay for any extra time spent on "fixing" IRC to become business capable, the proposition by Slack and their competitors starts to make a lot more sense. Even if you already have people capable of doing the work, do you want to task expensive employees on replicating something you could easily buy at a lower price or do you want to have them work on something that will actually increase revenue?
“May contain“ often refers to cross-contamination. For some people small amounts of allergens will not cause a problem.
$2.7B in made-up claims, divided by 200 accused individuals, gives us an average of $13.5M per alleged criminal.

That's not peanuts!
It does harm consumers by severely limiting their choices, especially if companies start putting the warning on every product by default, instead of actually making reasonable effort to prevent contamination.
When Bimbo first changed Orowheat ingredients in their oat wheat bread (pre-pandemic) they didn't announce it.

I searched the web to figure out what happened since even the weight of the bread was noticeably off (tried weighing it on a scale). The new on-line label of ingredients, nutrition, and weight were ~10% off (over an oz), but they were still using the old labeled bags and upc/barcode.

I returned some to the grocery and let them know that all the ones on the shelf were also not the labeled weight. They were very annoyed.
You're confusing it with data poisoning.

Model collapse itself is(was?) a fairly serious research topic: https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.17493

We've by now reached a "probably not inevitable" - https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.01413 argues there's a finite upper bound to error - but I'd also point out that that paper assumes training data cardinality increases with the number of training generations and is strictly accumulative.

To a first order, that means you better have a pre-2022 dataset to get started, and have archived it well.

but it's probably fair to say current SOTA is still more or less "it's neither impossible nor inevitable".

Ireland [2]

> Use of a ‘may contain….’ statement, or similar, to indicate that the product may contain an allergen as a result of possible cross-contamination, must not take the place of good manufacturing practices (GMPs) in a food business.

Ive drank soylent for every meal for over a decade and plan to continue. Its healthier than how I used to eat, it triggers none of my allergies, its cheap, its quick, and I enjoy the taste. Just had a checkup and all my vitals are perfect.
Isn't that a form of punishment instead of retribution?
Over the time I can see my dad getting that feeling. He is 76, it took him years to make peace with that feeling. Apparently it's unfortunate reality that we all have to go through it.
I wonder if claiming non-existent ingredients could be an actual health risk as well. For example, if someone had unrelated but similar symptoms after eating the product. I wouldn't be surprised if certain medications cause harm if taken by someone who is not actually having the allergic reaction they are intended to treat.

Back in the 80's it was normal for C compilers to recognize `for` loops and do optimizations on them.

I had attended a summer class at Stanford on Data Flow Analysis, and took advantage. My compiler would break all the C flow control constructs into `if` and `goto` statements. Then, the optimizer would reconstruct the loops using graph algorithms.

Then, no matter what snarl of for, while, break, do-while, continue switch, or goto statements the programmer wrote, the optimizer could find all the loops, identify the loop variables, the loop header, etc. and then optimize it.

So, i'm obviously not from the US, and while i'm not a liberal anymore (For USians: here, liberal=pro-market/what you call capitalist), i do understand what free markets (in a frictionless vacuum...) bring for the consummers.

It seems to me that in the last two years, the FCC and the FTC are kinda waking up and start annoying corporation into making the markets they compete in freer.

I only get my US news from hackernews, so maybe i only have the good, and not the ugly, but even in cases those agencies lost, they made good points and seems to be pushing the US to be less corporatists and more liberalist (in the economic sense, free market and stuff you USian call capitalism)

So how those agencies fall accross party lines? Are those independant?

In my opinion a change of president/government shouldn't change the culture in those agencies, but you are a weird country (the fact that you _still_ have carrier lock proves it), is this a "risk" in your case?

What do you propose instead in this case? Not trying to be snarky, just to get the discussion rolling.

Asking everyone to "play nice" or "don't be evil" also often does not work in practice. I mean I'd love it if it did, but such is life.
Lots of comments about what a shield would need to look like to protect against this. That’s not the way to think about this in the very near future. The space station and nearly everything in space up until now, is designed with very small mass and tolerances because it’s so expensive to get there in the first place.

As the cost of mass to orbit lowers by orders of magnitude in, likely, the next decade, we can begin seeing spacecraft that are far more durable, redundant and agile. They will have ample propellant to move out of the way and they will have life support systems and failure modes designed to withstand and allow for the repair of small impacts.
That's great! To be honest, I was very impressed with how you all handled the criticism of the website, by the way.

"In the Arizona case, prosecutors have accused two owners of wound care companies of accepting more than $330 million in kickbacks as part of a scheme to fraudulently bill Medicare for amniotic wound grafts, which are dressings to help heal wounds."

Fellow German here, I think this actually makes sense.

Primarily, unlike the US we just lack the void space. Even if you're in a "rural" area you'll still annoy dozens of people firing a spud gun with compressed air, and one fired with explosives will be thought of as someone firing guns - which is damn rare to hear, only during hunting season in the forests. The same argument also holds valid for a number of other things common in the US but not in Germany like keeping entire residential properties filled with cars in various states of (dis)repair, firing guns in general, producing nuclear waste, flying experimental planes, starting planes and choppers from anywhere else than a licensed airstrip, ...
I read the statement, and I'm not exactly sure where the problem is. Boeing as a company was responding to the media and placate consumers, and investors.

The NTSB process of determining actual fault is completely separate. The process itself is designed to not fault one person or company, but to simply figure out what happened so that it won't happen again. That's a completely separate process from what the company is doing, and it's not dependent upon or relying on the company in any way.

I don't see the issue.
> staff engineer with team lead responsibilities

Bit of a tangent, but I'm just curious if that's that some staffs (but not all) and above are leads, or if it's that engineering & management tracks are orthogonal but not mutually exclusive?

I was attempted to idly discuss/suggest the latter was a possibility recently (not in a position to effect it), and I'm not sure I made my point very effectively or coherently. If that is the case where you work, are you aware of any sort of name for that or keyword? Hard sort of thing to search for otherwise.
> And ideally give me a choice of providers.

This sounds good I guess but would be pretty annoying in practice for basically no upside for the business. I could see having 2 providers that are both randomly used so that we can continue business when one has an outage. But even then I would not be showing the option to my customers. The vast majority of users would be more confused by the options than happy about having options, and likely hurt conversion.

This is the sort of action we need more of to help combat corruption and restore some basic faith in the medical industry, but it's only a start. The convictions that follow have to come with severe enough consequences to more than offset the the millions they got while hurting patients and stealing from taxpayers. If the people involved get away with a slap on the wrist or fines that are only a fraction of what they made in profit it will only encourage others to do the same thing. Any doctors accepting kickbacks should, at the very least, lose their license and be prevented from practicing medicine again.
Let's go ahead and say the LLM stuff is all marketing and it's all clearly worse than all humans. It's plainly unrelated to anything else in the post, we don't need to focus on it.

Like I said, I'm very interested!

Maybe it doesn't mean anything other than what it says on the tin? You think people should treat an LLM like a stranger making claims? Makes sense!

It's just unclear what a lot of it means and the word choice makes it seem like there's something grander going on, coughs as our compatriots in this intricately weaved thread on the international network known as the world wide web have also explicated, and imparted via the written word, as their scrivening also remarks on the lexicographical phenomenae. coughs

My only other guess is you are doing some form of performance art to teach us a broader lesson?

There's something very "off" here, and I'm not the only to note it. Like, my instinct is it's iterated writing using an LLM asked to make it more graduate-school level.
Whatever the 7th row, 4th column is, it does not look appetizing.
You couldn't write a more perfect allegory for what has already happened due to California's Proposition 65. The common denominator here is that the government gives companies new rules to follow, and enforces severe penalties for breaking them, and so the companies minimized their risk by following them to the extreme.

It's almost like if you want a different outcome, the government agencies involved need to step up and do a more thoughtful job of architecting these policies in a way where the companies are forced to follow the "spirit" of them.

I can't be mad if I create a policy, and someone follows it. My intention should have been in the policy, not just implied.

> a crime against the United States

That is the definition of a political crime. Governments are allowed to charge people of crimes which only have the government as victim, but most countries (including the UK) have laws against extradition for such crimes.

And when the person you charge is not a citizen of your country, and the act harming government is simply journalism, you have to be pretty blind to deny that it's political.

I love the concept,but it saddens me that it's going to make hall-sensor/potentiometer brake levers an even more distant concept.

at least this adds a bit more granularity than the lame off/on ebike e-brake switches that are most popular right now -- but it sucks that it's at the loss of pad life rather than just sticking a dirt cheap hall sensor on a lever somewhere and leaving the pads for emergencies.

it is very clever, though.

US sanctions Boeing for sharing information about 737 MAX 9 investigation
Which is one reason why some people will be tempted to roll the dice and end up dead or in the ER. It's much better to just know if something is in your food that will kill you. It doesn't help that repeated exposure to an allergen can cause a person's sensitivity to that allergen and the severity of their reaction to increase.

Companies who want to sell their products to people with allergies should be required to actually spend the time and money to be reasonably sure that their products won't kill them. Instead companies want to be able to avoid that expense and just slap on a "Probably safe, but who knows?" label and hope that people with allergies will just buy the product and take their chances.
Exactly! Opioids increase suffering and ruin the quality of life for hundreds of thousands of Americans. 80k+ yearly overdose deaths, plus a percentage of those using opioids for recovery become addicted to it.

Is that a worthy tradeoff? I presume (could be wrong) but we did fine recovering with surgical operations 80 years ago without opioids.
I agree but in the mean time, stealing from millions of artists and writers to build systems with the goal of replacing them is incredibly shitty.
