You can work harder or smarter. I’m not convinced that all the quality control isn’t harder instead of smarter. The proof point is how spacex managed to drastically reduce the cost of a space shuttle launch vs what NASA was able to do. NASA does good work and what they accomplish in their environment is impressive but culturally they seem to have stagnated a bit - not entirely their fault and having a mercurial political situation adds to the distinction but it does indicate that the costs that NASA projects take may be unnecessarily expensive and there may be cheaper ways of accomplishing this stuff. Repeatability in particular is huge in driving down costs and it’s why spacex costs are so low. Unfortunately there’s no money to be made from scientific telescopes and even national security decisions are driven by the US government which often makes incorrect cost/benefit decisions because of politics.

I’m really happy to see them exploring things like the Mars copter to do a super cheap “unreliable” robot that turns out to actually work reliably. I think people seriously overestimate how much has to “go right” to get amazing results and decoupling things from the “must succeed” parts of the mission are ways to bring down that cost by having more non-critical pieces of the project (in addition to reuse). It’s easy to point tot reuse failures one offs but the data is irrefutable that repetition drives down cost and improves reliability. So we should simply learn from the repetition failures and just keep repeating anyway.
Perhaps it should be something like cranial volume / body volume, or else we'd expect whales and dolphins to have massive tribe sizes, yet they typically hang with something like 20 peers.

> The whole job is "how can I solve OTHER PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS by being the proxy between them and the computer machine instructions". How is that not people-oriented?

It is people oriented, to a degree. But it's less people oriented than solving other people's problems by engaging them directly, without being a proxy between the user and a machine. To say that software development is less people oriented than being a math teacher isn't saying the former has zero personal interaction or nothing about it is people oriented. It's just less people oriented than most other jobs.

So the point of this is just to cache secrets, to avoid caching them in your app memory?

Seems like kinda a niche threat model, if your app is already compromised to the point where it's secret cache can be read, it seems likely that the attacker could also pivot to just read from the cache, or use the instance credentials to read from secrets manager itself.

If a person had the knowledge and resources to operate a still and deliberately isolate the methanol and then decided to drink it, then yes they would get methanol poisoning. If a layperson just let a still run until the batch was done distilling then the resultant booze wouldn’t have the required concentration of methanol to cause poisoning.

> Somewhat over the top comment. ... Still, calling them the bedrock and standard is too much.

Nope, i meant exactly what i said. The point is not popularity/commodity but understanding a domain from the foundations.

I am one of the oldies who started with (in chronological order) MS-DOS, a brief foray into Mainframe COBOL, 16-bit Windows (Windows 3.1) to 32-bit Windows (Windows NT 3.51 & 4), then to Solaris/Linux and all using C/C++. So i had actually programmed in Windows before Unix. There was only Dave Cutler's book on the Windows NT kernel then with everything else being only on programming the GUI subsystem (Charles Petzold and Jeffrey Richter were the notable ones) whereas in the Unix world you had Maurice Bach/Marshall Mckusick/etc. books explaining the kernel and Marc Rochkind/Richard Stevens/etc. explaining how to program it. I still remember reading the 1st edition of Rochkind's book (there were only around a dozen system calls then and the book was less than 200 pages i think) and understanding everything (Unix was a simple monolith then) while Windows was made up of a kernel+various subsystems and it was rather hard to understand what was what. And through it all C was the common "glue" lingua franca which allowed one to program all of them.

The above situation persists to this day in spite of the explosion of languages/OS/Architectures. A knowledge of C/Unix will allow you to understand and program any system be it bare-metal/kernel-level/app-level/system utilities. You may not need it at your job but a knowledge of C/Unix (you don't have to become an expert) will give you a solid bedrock to hang your higher level understanding on. It will also make your transition to other languages/OSes easier since you will have a good understanding of what is going on underneath.
Another aspect of it could be that this retards foreigners' capacity to sneak into shops they're not supposed to be in and buy things they're not supposed to buy. Not sure though, as apparently many shops are run pseudo-privately and I imagine any shopkeeper would be happy to accept some foreign currency.
They also generalise and categorise and perhaps even form abstractions based on those associations. Those are the beginnings of reasoning.

I expect that as the models grow more complicated so will their reasoning ability.
> At the same time, these are tools that solve problems I don't have.

If you're applying for jobs in companies, and those companies want you to have skills in tools x, y, z, then they have a need and they have problem scenarios that will be relevant to those tools.

You can read company blogs - go look at any of the big tech company engineering blogs and they'll go into a lot of depth on the problems they have and how they go about using modern tooling to solve those problems.

The information is out there, if you don't have any ideas, then talk to ChatGPT , read company blogs, buy a book, do a course, put a question into google.

There has never been an easier time to get an answer to a question - you just need to ask it in the first place.

Your job relies on you being a problem solver. Start by solving your own problem, stop with the excuses.

Seriously though, there are some minor hand issues and a rare missing body part. "Correct anatomy, no missing body parts." seems to fix it mostly. Still pretty good for an early 0.1 announcement.

Following full sentences is pretty good. Although this: "A photo of a table. On the table there's a green box on the right, a red ball on the left. There's a yellow cone on the box." keeps putting the cone on the table.

Not a very good demo page. It's difficult to judge real world quality with such unenthusiastic reading, unrealistic sentences, and unfamiliar voices. Typical of speech papers. It would be much better if celebrities were used as target voices, as we all know what they sound like and can therefore judge quality better. But I suppose that would be too controversial for Google.

In general I think it is silly that voice cloning research has focused so much (exclusively?) on cloning voices from just a few seconds of audio. It puts a pretty low ceiling on quality. Many nuances of a person's communication style will not be contained in such a small amount of data. Sure you can match their pitch and timbre, but voice cloning should be more than that.

Do you really think actual people ask for and want "ultimate productivity machines"? Btw this term reveals a true kool-aid drinker. I always wanted a machine that is reliable, supported by the software I want to use, and fast enough, and affordable. I never cared for "ultimate productivity" or winning in some bench. I accept that you do; that is something e.g. managers may talk or care about. But most of them do not seem to agree with you that Apple is the ultimate best, because most workers using computers are still on windows machines.

> 695 Israeli civilians, 71 foreign nationals, and 373 security forces.[165] This data was published in December 2023, using social security data. There are additionally five people classed as missing, including four Israelis.[165] The deaths included 36 children, of whom 20 were under 15 years old and the youngest was a 10-month-old baby.

Notice that when you say "security forces" western people don't count them in the same way. We do. Israel has a draft law. These are 18 year old kids that were killed in a surprise attack and we see them in the same way as every civilian murdered.

This doesn't include people killed by rocket fire after the 7th or by attacks from Hezbollah.

This also ignores the intention, the severity and the cruelty. It ignores the fact that hostages (including women and babies) are still kept in Gaza.

If commercial real estate is cheap enough, an efficient business chain absolutely can do well with a cozy shop. A lot of people don't want a kiosk, and will simply skip it, but will go to a place if it's a cozy shop. Maybe this isn't so popular in modern America these days, but it is in many other places. Here in Tokyo where land prices are huge, all the Starbucks I've seen are still cozy shops, though they do tend to get rather crowded. I don't think a kiosk would work here at all; you can't bring coffee drinks on the train and eating on the sidewalk is rude. But Starbucks is immensely popular and always has a line (along with competing shops like Tully's).

So either Americans just don't care much about cozy shops any more, or American commercial real estate rent is too expensive, or some combination of the two are making it unprofitable to have a cozy coffee shop in American cities these days.
> CommonUtils.hpp

That's the root cause of the slow build. That file is likely to be depended on by way too many other files, triggering massive rebuilds when unrelated code is modified. The headers should be as granular as possible. Breaking up the generic utils file into many specific files will help contain the damage whenever any given file is changed.

I wish it was possible to track source code dependencies at the function level.
It absolutely did result in people being hired under discrimination. If I have 80 headcount for men and 20 headcount exclusive to women, and 90 people were hired total then 10 hires were made with the deliberate exclusion of men, explicitly on the basis of gender. Creating situations like these is fundamentally how "opportunistic hiring" would shift company demographics. The only way it doesn't have an effect is if nobody ever taps into the "opportunistic" pool. And yes, there were teams who hired above their allocated headcount. And yes it was pretty awkward for the women and URM hired to realize that aspect of how they landed at the company.

> There's also likely the possibility that they are conflating "engineering" and "tech" roles. Female CS majors are indeed ~19% in the US, but "tech" jobs often include lots of people on product teams who are not engineers: QA, UX, etc.

It's for engineers.

> You're defining "workforce" narrowly to exclude people who do not currently work in the "field." This is unnecessarily narrow because e.g. there are people who work in tech who do not work at pure-play tech companies in Silicon Valley (this is where the policy pulls its stats). So setting a low bar and barely clearing it.

The figure of 20% comes from the number of people who put "software developer" on their tax returns: https://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat11.htm it's not just counting the "pure play tech companies" whatever that's supposed to mean.

If you put up a job for a software developer, count the number of men and women who would potentially be interested in the job the former is going to be about 4 times bigger than the latter. If you have a different way of measuring this proportion, you can make that argument.

> Incidentally, Dropbox non-tech is only managing 43% women. This includes roles like marketing, sales, finance, HR, etc. where the excuse of the college pipeline is not operant. (For example -- women are the majority of accountants in the US.

HR is 70-75% women according to Google. So if a company is hiring 70-75 women in HR it's not evidence of any discrimination. Same with all the other roles you listed. We'd have to inspect each role one by one, and comparing Dropbox's representation. Furthermore, the discriminatory policies were specific to engineering. So I'm not sure why these other roles are relevant. Did Dropbox discriminate against female accountants? I have no idea. But how does discrimination against male coders somehow make up for potential discrimination in other fields?
Ah, sounds a bit like that specific North American word... coworking? :)
Even the silliest argument against becoming a historical district is a wonderful argument.

I live in a historic district and am not allowed to do things that would help preserve the house or even to change it back to its original state (unless I have photos of my house circa 1900 to prove it, but who took photos of middle class houses then?). The city busybodies don't have a background in architecture or history and seem to think that the past actually looked like Disney's Celebration, FL.

Cygnus was founded in 1989 and had success. Red Hat started in 1993 and was successful. MySQL was released in 1994-1995 and was successful. JBoss started in 1999 and was successful. A lot of these companies ultimately were swallowed up by IBM, except for MySQL which was ultimately swallowed up by Oracle. They were successes and lessons can be drawn from them.

Coming back to this, having read some of the (great!) replies, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that in theory, this sounds possible, and fun, but highly impractical. I'll assume that by "scan" you mean a high end "flatbed scanner" optical scan which would return a 2D bitmap.

It's impractical because the resolution required to retrieve the data "flatbed scanner style" is comically high, perhaps 50k dpi, far beyond the capability of any commercial unit and well into scanning microscope territory. Sure, from my understanding, it looks technically possible. But it would be a very significant and costly project just to assemble the image in the first place. Even if you had that, the resulting file would be hilariously huge (something like 122GB), extremely difficult to work with, and you would be starting from scratch implementing some kind of visual pathfinding helical decoder to painstakingly unravel the linear coil of data the scan just sort of blatted into two dimensions.

It's a cool idea. But it's comically, exponentially harder than just using the equipment as intended to just read the laser returns off the disk directly, into a far, far more easily dealt with format.

I'm adding that CD scan to my list of things I'd like to do if I ever get really rich.

That word also gets used, somewhat interchangeably (an anticafe will often also mention the word "coworking" in its description, but never the other way around).

Coworking places tend to be more like offices with some startups renting permanent spaces and some people dropping in for a day of work. They tend to have real desks and phone booths. Anticafes tend to be more like community spaces with cafe seating, board games galore, and maybe some cats. Both are filled with people on their laptops :)
