Having built one of the largest tech-enabled 3PLs from ground up and serving as CTO for a logistics tech startup with client 20M - 1B annual transportation spend, my take below

> We're using a third-party product that functions, but barely. The provider is understaffed and unresponsive and the platform is stagnant. It's a fight getting basic bugs fixed let alone new features implemented. We're having to resort to a separate low-code platform to fill in the gaps. Our business operates in a specific niche and there are no other providers who cater specifically to our industry.

Most successful and agile 3PL and LSP (non VC backed) do not build all their tech, but rather glue tech together. They leverage pre-built TMS, WMS, YMS and build out in-house middleware layer for analytics and control points. Key is to guarantee portability of data and analytics with a unified view of the business.

> On the other hand, while our current solution seems like a straightforward CRUD app, I fear the devil is in the details. Will we get stuck at 80% completion? We do a lot of data exchange via EDIFACT, for instance, with various government institutions all over Europe. This feels like a quagmire in which development can quickly stall.

The Devil is definitely in the details. We regularly ignore what C/VP/Dir-level's description of tech and business process. Talking with the direct team member or their manager reveal so much more of the real painpoints than what higher up learns. The risk here is not business adopting tech but rather tech team understanding business. Have a senior leader here who are technical with strong business domain expertise is critical. They need to form a culture of domain understanding throughout the tech org.

> Strategies for attracting and retaining tech talent in a non-tech industry Experiences transitioning from third-party to in-house software (success stories and cautionary tales).

It is very hard. Mostly due to comp, EPD treated as a cost center (and engineers do not want to be devs), lack of recognition of the industry.

There is one thing going for logistics, it touches physical world and is extremely complex (not hard). It attracts certain types of people prefer complex problems. Aside from senior tech leaders and a few senior engineers, you will be aiming for the diamond in the rough profile here.

There are rare cases such as Ryder acquiring Baton and use the latter as their core Engineering while keeping some old IT groups hanging around. Ryder is large enough to pay tens of engineers 300k+ salaries.

> Potential pitfalls we might not be considering. Alternative solutions we should explore.

Instead of building a tech team to build everything, you have an artifact, who is a domain expert on your own business, define a business middleware and analytics ingress for the company. Start by normalizing against the middleware and analytics ingress with consultants before building your own tech team.

Logistics has been the most fascinating industry I have worked in and I see my whole career in this industry. Excited to chat more tech strategy in logistics, email shu at loop dot com.

I think the ubiquity of gameplay videos really takes something away from the experience. I feel like it puts you in a different mindspace when you're "unspoiled" and seeing everything for the first time. And having to experiment, discover, and make progress through only your own brainpower is like, better for your brain in some way I feel, than it is to go running to a guide to give you the answer every time you can't figure out what to do in 30 seconds.
Our team also suffered from the problems you described of public helm charts. There is always something you need to customise to make things work on your own environment. Our approach has been to use the public helm chart as-is and do any customisation with `kustomize —enable-helm`.

Could you imaging an age where the NVIDIA firmware does LLM/AI/GPU license checking before it does operations on your vectors? (Hello Oracle on SUN e650, My old Friend) ((Worse would be a DRM check against deep-faking or other Globalist WEF Guardrails))

((oracle had(has) an age olde function where if you bought a license for a single proc and threw it inot a dual proc sun enterprise server with an extra proc or so - it knew you have several hundred K to spend on an additional e650 so why not have an extra ~$80K for an additional oracle proc license. Rather than make the app actually USE the additional proc - as there were no changes to oracles garbage FU Maxwell))

Since folks are downvoting this comment, here's what Gemini told me, and which sounded reasonable to me. Let me know if something sounds wrong:

Paint thickness: 120 microns (0.00012 meters)

Typical car surface area: Assuming a medium-sized sedan, we can estimate this to be around 15 square meters (161.46 square feet).

Paint density: This varies based on the type of paint, but we'll use an average value of 1.2 g/cm³ (1200 kg/m³) as a starting point.

Volume = thickness * surface area = 0.00012 m * 15 m² = 0.0018 m³

Weight = density * volume = 1200 kg/m³ * 0.0018 m³ = 2.16 kg

ChatGPT was similar but chose 1.3 g/cm³ as the paint density.

> The problem is not that we don't live long enough, the problem is that most people don't have the freedom to do the things they want to do in the time they have. That is a much more tractable problem, and it is the one we should be working on, not extending life spans.

We as a species can do both without either slowing down the other — biotech researchers aren't the same skillset as politicians.

> If you have the wherewithall, ~100 years is more than enough time to get sick and tired of everything.

Disagree, that requires a personality which gets bored quickly. Expertise comes from having the passion stay for long enough to get really good — despite the meme this isn't exactly 10k hours, but it's still long enough that you can fail to grow sick of living after properly mastering just fifteen things in a century.

But even if you did, being ageless doesn't take away the opportunity to cease to be. If it's really all that dull, people will just take up extreme sports such as juggling honey badgers or naked skydiving over active volcanoes.
Library is quieter and better in terms of electric plugs and internet connection. Only downside is that it's closes pretty early. Only few days a week you can work till 7pm or 8pm. So it's perfect for a weekend. Main SF Library on Larkin is pretty good, has lots of light and open space. It has a restroom too. If you willing to tolerate commuting there, honestly outside looks sketch and always have something going on in there.

Coffee shops are better for a weekday. There might be troubles with wifi reliability or power outlets(there might not be), noise levels, people walking all the time.
I found out that I prefer to go to cafe Reveille. It's nice and clean and they have pretty decent wifi, though they don't have any electric outlets.
Another option is a Starbucks on Fillmore street. Main benefit being that it works until 9pm almost every day, and you can crank up few solid hours there after work
The vast majority of corporate decisions are never justified by useful data analysis, before or after the fact.

Many are so-analyzed, but usually in ways that anyone who paid attention in high school science or stats classes can tell are so flawed that they’re meaningless.

We can’t even measure manager efficacy to any useful degree, in nearly all cases. We can come up with numbers, but they don’t mean anything. Good luck with anything more complex.

Very small organizations can probably manage to isolate enough variables to know how good or bad some move was in hindsight, if they try and are competent at it (… if). Sometimes an effect is so huge for a large org that it overwhelms confounders and you can be pretty confident that it was at least good or bad, even if the degree is fuzzy. Usually, no.

Big organizations are largely flying blind. This has only gotten worse with the shift from people-who-know-the-work-as-leadership to professional-managers-as-leadership.
> Why source being available makes difference?

Because the library is a spec, they don't have to be compatible at a binary level. This is obvious on a hardware architecture level (a 16-bit processor vs a 64-bit processor) but it's true even on the same hardware under the same OS (the different representations of std::string being a famous example). But they are all compatible at the API level -- which in C++ is the source level.

So this is why I mention compatibility at the source code level.

> What is so beneficial in having different implementation of same functionality? We can ignore cases of optimized per platform implementations because std was not made for that.

The point of having different implementations is that not every program has the same needs. The idea of a standard library is that it has a bunch of commonly-used functionality that you can just use so you can concentrate on your own program. You don't have to roll your own string class -- just use the standard one. You may later find you have special needs and need to roll your own, more restrictive string that does just what you want, but in most cases people won't have to. (You can argue whether the C++ standard library accomplishes this or not, but that's a separate matter).

A good example of this is std::map which was overspecified, and thus almost never what you want. If the specification had been looser than different implementations could have chosen different solutions, and even borrowed from each other.

And per-platform optimization is exactly part of std's requirements. Different implementations for the 16-bit and 64-bit cases is an easy to use example. The compilers output a lot of intrinsics to take advantage of CPU capabilities (a common example is memcpy, but there are many). Just try to read the source code for libc++ -- it's hard to read when you aren't familiar with it because it's 1 - full of corner cases so that it works with any code that uses it but also 2 - it's full of target-specific optimizations and special cases.

> None of platforms that make sense to support now were available back when current ABI was set in stone.

Well this is true, but since it's a spec it remains source-code compatible.

I don't know if your use of "ABI" was a typo for "API" or if you really meant "ABI". The APIs are set in stone because of back compatibility (like the notorious std::map example I call out above) but use of ABI, when used by the committee, refers to the de facto binary layout of code that's already been compiled. There are few platform ABI specifications for C++; they are mainly for C, with sometimes some Ada or FORTRAN calling convention stuff. Rarely do platforms say anything about C++, and when they do they don't specify much. There is also a little ABI requirement in C++ (e.g. address of a derived class must also be the address of its own most fundamental base class) but that's for something that is reflected at the source code level.
It seemed fishy to me too at first, but the email contains my communication code, and as far as we know, Wise hasn't had any recent data breaches.

The DTrace instruction set is more limited than that of the eBPF VM; eBPF is essentially a fully functional ISA, where DTrace was (if I'm remembering this right) designed around the D script language. An eBPF program is often just a clang C program, and you're trusting the kernel verifier to reject it if it can't be proven safe. Further: eBPF programs are JIT'd to actual machine code; once you've loaded and verified an eBPF program, it has conceptually all the same power as, say, shellcode you managed to load into the kernel via an LPE.

That's not to say that security researchers couldn't find DTrace vulnerabilities if they, for instance, built DIF/DOF fuzzers of 2023 levels of sophistication for them. I don't know that anyone's doing that, because DTrace is more or less a dead letter.

Software Simulator Demo – Pull Request Workflow
My cofounder Jared recently posted a blog post about CodeYam, a software simulator we've been building. This is a follow up with our first functional demo video of the software simulator being used in a pull request review workflow. CodeYam creates simulations of every aspect of a software application - basically every function, both in isolation and in the context of the app or other function that import the original function.

We've put together a brief demo that shows how the software simulator can be useful for a pull request workflow. It includes automatically created simulations of all changes, using AI and manually add/editing simulations, and how to save them as part of a test suite. Would love to hear any feedback or thoughts people have on it.

Sure perhaps there’s some difference in prevalence but I’m not even sure of that.

Believing humans transcended nature isn’t universal in western thought either - source: an American of Western European descent of a fairly typical background, I.e. me.

For a larger group, anyone who cares about global warming is clearly showing they do not separate humans from nature.

Sure on the other hand there are people who seem to believe humans are above nature, but it seems to be a fairly worldwide fallacy. Maybe some areas have a higher prevalence of the belief, but it’s nowhere near universal anywhere.

As I remember it, Firefox succeeded because it fundamentally worked well and was very configurable, not because of the UX. The others at the time were bad at both of those things.

The UX of Firefox was (and, I'd argue, still is) not great, but it made up for that by being configurable enough that you could fix it for yourself.

OpenAI Warns Users Could Become Emotionally Hooked on Its Voice Mode
I can't imagine someone using an RP2040 in a real product, but the RP2350 fixes enough of my complaints that I'd be really excited to give it a shot.

There's a lot going for the 2040, don't get me wrong. TBMAN is a really cool concept. It overclocks like crazy. PIO is truly innovative, and it's super valuable for boatloads of companies looking to replace their 8051s/whatever with a daughterboard-adapted ARM core.

But, for every cool thing about the RP2040, there was a bad thing. DSP-level clock speeds but no FPU, and no hardware integer division. A USB DFU function embedded in boot ROM is flatly undesirable in an MCU with no memory protection. PIO support is extremely limited in third-party SDKs like Zephyr, which puts a low ceiling on its usefulness in large-scale projects.

The RP2350 fixes nearly all of my complaints, and that's really exciting.

PIO is a really cool concept, but relying on it to implement garden-variety peripherals like CAN or SDMMC immediately puts RP2350 at a disadvantage. The flexibility is very cool, but if I need to get a product up and running, the last thing I want to do is fiddle around with a special-purpose assembly language. My hope is that they'll eventually provide a library of ready-made "soft peripherals" for common things like SD/MMC, MII, Bluetooth HCI, etc. That would make integration into Zephyr (and friends) easier, and it would massively expand the potential use cases for the chip.

>RTO, means Return To Office, which means it's applying to people who started out working in the office.

Not necessarily. The company itself is moving it's workforce from home back to the office, but lots of people were hired during the WFH phase of these companies operations, so RTO is a new situation for them. We're what, 4 years into WFH now? A lot of companies have probably turned over half their staff in that time. Even the older employees might be 'returning' to a completely different building than they originally were hired to work in, since many companies gave up their leases or sold their buildings during the height of WFH.
Looks nice, congratulations on the launch!
