Note that this may be a better model of friendship, but according to TFA we ought to be looking for a measure which is symmetric: if we ask X if Y is their friend, we'd like to get the same answer as if we ask Y about X.

With that desideratum in mind, any measure proportional to "[non-work-related] hours spent voluntarily together" is relatively symmetric.

I believe they make a good point: making a vertically integrated entity could matter more than just buying most of the shares.

>cooperation with other drivers is always the right thing to do

Correct, including when the other driver may not have the strictly interpreted legal right of way. You don't know if their vehicle is malfunctioning, or if the driver is malfunctioning, or if they are being overly aggressive or distracted on their phone.

But most of the time, on an onramp to a highway, people on the highway in the lane that is being merged into need to be taking into account the potential conflicts due to people merging in from the acceleration lane. Acceleration lanes can be too short, other cars may not have the capability to accelerate quickly, other drivers may not be as confident, etc.

So while technically, the onus is on people merging in, a more realistic rule is to take turns whenever congestion appears, even if you have right of way.
Which is why hardware used to run safety-critical software is made redundant.

Take the Boeing 777 Primary Flight Computer for example. This is a fully digital fly-by-wire aircraft. There are 3 separate racks of equipment housing identical flight computers; 2 in the avionics bay underneath the flight deck, 1 in the aft cargo section. Each flight computer has 3 separate processors, supporting 2 dissimilar instruction set architectures, running the same software built by 3 separate compilers. Each flight computer captures instances of the software not agreeing about an action to be undertaken and wins by majority vote. The processor that makes these decisions is different in each flight computer.

The power systems that provide each flight computer are also fully redundant; each computer gets power from a power supply assembly, which receives 2 power feeds from 3 separate power supplies; no 2 power supply assemblies share the same 2 sources of power. 2 of the 3 power systems (L engine generator, R engine generator, and the hot battery bus) would have to fail and the APU would have to be unavailable in order to knock out 1 of the 3 computers.

This system has never failed in 30 years of service. There's still a primary flight computer disconnect switch on the overhead panel in the cockpit, taking the software out of the loop, to logically connect all of your control inputs to the flight surface actuators. I'm not aware of it ever being used (edit: in a commercial flight).
That's a really thought provoking article.
And my thinking is this highlights the importance of government consumer protection agency/laws as the protection against that. I.e. when you fly through Europe or use European airlines, there is this EU law that gives you compensation of ~ 600 EUR if your flight is delayed by more than 3 hours or cancelled or whatever. This is a good insurance that no matter what BS is thrown at you at the airport by the company, you will get your compensation. And the process of getting the money is reasonably straightforward. What that gives is a way of avoiding any kind of airline systems, and just leads to the compensation. Also I hope that serves as an actual motivation for the airline to perform reasonably well, because otherwise they'll pay too much in fines. I think we really need this kind of protection laws in order to avoid the situation of chatbot-wall shielding companies from customers.

How you feel while riding isn’t an objective thing. It’s entirely subjective. You and I can sit side by side and feel differently about the same experience.

I don’t see how this is in any way objective besides the fact that you want it to be objective.

You can support things for society that scare you and feel unsafe because you can admit your feelings are subjective and the thing is actually safer than it feels to you personally.

At a more basic level money eliminates the need for social obligation. There is no expectation of reciprocity or mutual respect. You pay for a product, it is delivered and that is the end of it. Corporations do this within their own internal economy or with partner companies. A cost centre pays an amount of money and delegates responsibility.
I don't know about that. It seems like MSFT realizes they have a high value captive audience in gamers and are squeezing them as much as possible.

Not really. He said "if you claim LLM's are next thing since sliced butter I am doubting your abilities". Which is fair. It's not really a class as much as a group.

I've never been wowed over by LLMs. At best they are boilerplate enhancers. At worst they write plausibly looking bullshit that compiles but breaks everything. Give it something truly novel and/or fringe and it will fold like a deck of cards.

Depends how you write code. When I use Semantic Kernel, my KernelFunctions include a well-defined documentation for the inputs and outputs, then using the System Prompt you can provide the concepts and glue between the various plugins. It is the function specification as a whole. Precision is important, although GPT is not yet perfect -- perhaps in another year or two it will be.
The “how many R’s are in the word strawberry?” problem can’t be solved by LLMs specifically because they do not have access to the text directly. Before the model sees the user input it’s been tokenized by a preprocessing step. So instead of the string “strawberry”, the model just sees an integer token the word has been mapped to.

Your apparent implication that the EU is coercive is false. Very simply, if you want to do business in the EU you have to comply with the mandated market standards. No hammers are involved.

The EU is the greatest peace project in history not, as many (including Donald Trump and many right wing libertarians eg) characterize it, as an oppressive entity. It's why countries are keen to join it and to adopt common (shared) EU standards. It's simply better than having multiple competing national standards.

Market power and diplomatic power are different. No EU diplomacy whatever was involved in the UK's sovereign decision on the UKCA mark or USB C and related matters. The EU does have diplomatic representation in London and uses it to, e.g., let the British govt know it will face trade sanctions if they violate the terms of the UK Withdrawal Agreement (threats to break international law were made repeatedly by the last UK govt).

I also went into car shopping with that opinion, but the options are bleak in terms of other carmakers' software. For some reason, if you want basic software features of a Tesla, the other carmakers want an extra $20k+ (and still don't have some).

A big example is why do the other carmakers not yet offer camera recording on their cars? They are all using cameras all around, but only Tesla makes it available to you in case you want the footage? Bizarre. And then they want to charge you an extra $500+ for one dash cam on the windshield.

I even had Carplay/Android Auto as a basic requirement, but I was willing to forgo that after trying out the other brands. And not having to spend hours at a dealership doing paperwork was amazing.

I've always seen a dilemma with increased bureaucracy driven by corruption prevention:

Systems too focused on defeating corruption as a main objective tend to miss their original intent, and become overly restrictive, to the point of having to rely on rule breaking to actually perform their function.

But once a particular rule is OK to break, every other rule is in jeopardy.

This way you end up with systems like the Spanish access to public jobs: extremely punishing for the participants that are subject to humongous nonsensical competitive examinations, ostensibly to select the very best strictly on their merits, but still rife with corruption.

(SAMSUNG 65-Inch Class OLED 4K S95B Series Quantum HDR TV(QN65S95BAFXZA, 2022 Model)

Nothing about this is aimed towards commercial:

https://www.samsung.com/latin_en/tvs/oled-tv/s95b-65-inch-ol...

That is a 2.5 year old model (out of stock on Newegg), standard high end consumer smart TV, not sure why you think otherwise:

It’s less expensive than a G4 because it’s is generations older than a G4. Samsung is now on the S95D.

In many application use cases, that is an implementation detail that should not be a concern of higher levels. The ramifications may not even be known by the people at higher levels.

Take something very common like cryptographic hashing, if you use something like node.js you really don't want to block the main thread calculating an advanced bcrypt hash. It also meets all of your requirements that data not come from outside ram and is very CPU bound.

Obviously, if you are directly calling this hashing algorithm you should know, however, the introduction of a need to hash is completely unpredictable.
Good thing silicon valley is pumping billions of dollars and burning through unimaginable natural resources in the midst of a climate crisis to make systems that compete with commercial artists by selling cheap knock-offs of their artwork and relieving us of the burden of doing things like writing school papers or heartfelt personal correspondence or making animated avatars for instant messaging.

> Not really. He said "if you claim LLM's are next thing since sliced butter I am doubting your abilities". Which is fair.

No, OP said:

> Claiming LLMs are a massive boost for coding productivity is becoming a red flag that the claimant has a tenuous grasp on the skills necessary

Quotation marks are usually reserved for direct quotes, not paraphrases or straw mans.

> I've never been wowed over by LLMs.

Cool. I have, and many others have. I'm unsure why your experience justifies invalidating the experiences of others or supporting prejudice against people who have made good use of them.

> Give it something truly novel and/or fringe and it will fold like a deck of cards.

Few thoughts are truly novel, most are derivative or synergistic. Cutting edge LLMs, when paired with a capable human, are absolutely capable of productive work. I have long, highly technical and cross-cutting discussions with GPT 4o which I simply could not have with any human that I know. Humans like that exist, but I don't know them and so I'm making due with a very good approximation.

Your and OP's lack of imagination at the capabilities of LLMs are more telling than you realize to those intimate with them, which is what makes this all quite ironic given that it started from OP making claims about how people who say LLMs massively boost productivity are giving tells that they're not skilled enough.
So much whining here.

You have absolute freedom in truly open source software at the point of any particular release.

So, you have the freedom to fork or self-build/host at discrete time points.

Assuming software made by a company to remain and persist truly open source (compatible)is idiotic.

Praise the freedoms you have had for this time.

The constant criticisms will likely mean that new companies or new products will never opt for open source in the future . And that is a poorer outcome for the world.

Boeing is clearly a company in the death spiral stage of institutional decline. It happens to most institutions, unfortunately, and it will probably happen to spacex one day.

That’s why it’s critical to maintain a regulatory environment and supportive infrastructure so that scrappy innovative new competitors can rise up. To do that, the dead standing wood needs to be felled.

Despite Boeing doing an admirable job of falling down on its own, it would probably still be useful to not keep feeding the decay.
> If your work requires you to use a web stack, this attitude will not serve you well in the long run

I disagree. A "web stack" is outdated quickly, but the language remains mostly the same, as does my data. React lets me express most things naturally as forward data transformations, without entangling me too much to peculiar toolchain that will become obsolete and break absolutely everything.

"rationalist view says that there are reasons for why the universe exists"

That might be some sub-set of some narrow band of 'rationalist'. But it is not a common viewpoint of atheist. So guess your point, that atheist aren't rational, using a narrow definition of 'rational'

I'd say the more common view atheist is that there are no 'reasons'. It is all physical processes, with no 'reason' behind it at all. It's all just cause and effect, the billiard ball universe. Quarks/Electrons/atoms/molecules. All just interacting with no 'reason'.

I think the nature of this argument wasn't with this view of universe, it was with which people you were attributing that did believe this way.
