I work adjacent to a mid sized engineering department that develops both hardware and software, for measurement equipment.

The managers use Excel, as one might expect, although at this point it might be equally accurate to say "spreadsheets" generically. I'm not sure how many of them use advanced features that are unique to Excel. They will use the one with the least friction. With that said, Excel probably still has the most finely tuned UI.

The traditional engineers use Excel. Very few of them program. The ones who can do it well enough to get paid for it, have joined the software industry. The rest are pretty adamant that programming won't get the job done quicker or more reliably than Excel.

The software engineers use Excel. They're good at whatever their role is within the software team, but they use Excel for the same kinds of short-term or one-off problem solving that everybody else uses it for.

Do some spreadsheets get too big and unwieldy for their own good? Sure. But that would also be true if you let the managers and traditional engineers write their own code for solving the same kinds of problems. I know this because I write that kind of code. Nothing will ever bridge the gap between small and large projects, that exists in most mature organizations.

The UAW puts it at 5-8%. Other sources put it higher, up to about 15%. But that's for combustion vehicles -- most sources put the labor component of EV's at 40-60% of that of combustion vehicles.

It generally includes the labor for sub-assemblies, but not for components. Components are sourced globally, so manufacturers in different countries should not be paying substantially different prices for components. Certainly sometimes they do, but that's generally a tariff issue, not a labor issue.

Not an expert, this is just based on most of an hour of random Googling.

It's no big deal! You shouldn't feel bad about anything.
There are some obvious downsides and exceptions to this sentiment, but on balance, I really appreciate how the expansive access to information via the internet has fostered this phenomenon: where an unremarkable fella with a dusty media studies degree, a well-equipped garage, and probably too much free time can engineer and construct robotic machines, implement/tweak machine vision mechanisms, microwave radio transceivers, nanometer-scale measurements using laser diodes and optical interferometry, deep-sky astrophotography, etc., etc..
Of course, with burgeoning curiosity and expanding access to surplus university science lab equipment, comes armchair experts and the potential for insufferability[0]. It’s crucial to maintain perspective and be mindful of just how little any one person (especially a person with a media studies degree) can possibly know.

[0] I’m pretty sure “insufferability” isn’t a real word. [Edit: don’t use an asterisk for footnotes.]

On the flip side: it makes it incredibly difficult to notice you were a subject of a wide scale fraud.

Are you speaking hypothetically or from your own experience? The sentiment analysis is a thing, and it mostly works – I have tested it with satisfactory results on sample datasets. It is relatively easy to extract the emotional context from a corpus of text, less so when it comes to resumes due to their inherently more condensed content. Which is precisely why I mentioned ethical considerations in my previous response. With the extra effort and fine tuning, it should be possible to overcome most of the false negatives though.
Aha! So they don't like the extra work. I wonder if that is part of the problem! These teeth are a pain to deal with. I wish they would be more impressed with your ability to clean them rather than complain.

It won’t happen on a real car because the speed probably comes from the ABS wheel speed sensors, and in that case they would read the correct speed of the wheels (unless the motor shaft is proper broken).

If the ABS is properly plugged in it will detect a fault with the sensors (which probably causes the creep to stop) however it won’t detect a mechanical fault with the encoder wheel (such as sensor not bolted to wheel) — such a fault is indistinguishable from the wheel not spinning, thus zero speed.

I think you were emulating the ABS module right? In that case, the spinning out of control is actually probably your fault. If you had not emulated this, the system would realise there is an ABS fault (from the messages not being present) and not use the ABS reported speed. It might even fall back to motor speed automatically.

Re: shaft scenario, if the motor shaft is broken the safety risk is pretty minimal because the torque wont actually cause the car to move.

I guess this is what they arrived to in the FMEA.
Lisa Feldman-Barrett is a hack who thinly veils her inability to conduct robust emotion research by almost exclusively presenting her flawed ideas in pop-sci books aimed at the general public and people outside the emotion field. While she certainly likes to present herself as on authority in emotion research, she has in actuality disproven nothing. Instead, her major contribution is endless philosophizing based on incredibly weak cherry picked psychology experiments mostly conducted by other researchers (which, disappointingly, seems to have grown some roots in the public psyche).

In the meantime, research into the neuroscience of affect is booming, with animal experiments starting to uncover the mechanistic basis of emotion and expression, including discovering both in mice and other animals - certainly without requiring language, culture or any construction whatsoever.
It depends on how much rice you are making, how often you make it, and if you'd like it to be setup overnight and started on a schedule for you for certain types of rice and other grains.

Rice cookers can generally make a pretty large volume and they're still rather efficient at doing so. If you get the water and rice ratio to your liking it will make nearly perfect rice every time at the press of a button. The best ones have multiple markings for white and brown rice on the bowl so you don't even need a measuring cup to do this.

It has a little countdown timer so you can get your sides ready on time. It plays a little song when it's done. It covers and seals up well and can keep rice warm and good to eat for a few hours.

There are only two parts that you have to wash, the bowl itself and the detachable lid seal, and one you have to wipe down, the steam vent cap.

I generally don't like special purpose tools in my kitchen. The rice cooker has been a part of it for 20 years anyways. It's simply too useful without any additional hassle that it has easily earned it's place.

A similar strategy is to serialize the object and store it in-process but off heap. This is useful when the values are private to the process, and/or they don't need to survive a crash, and/or you need to avoid the network overhead. Access times are often 100x-1000x faster.

Or more politely put, have large error bars. Those error bars are significantly larger than the margin.

Those error bars are so wide, and so correlated, that the chance of what seems like a blowout for one side or another is actually fairly high. (40% according to Nate Silver, where blowout is defined as one person winning all 7 swing states).

A high speed electronic ballot reader with a mechanical counter display. So you can stand there and watch it count. Then run it through a duplicate machine. It should say the same thing.

Appropriately documenting these occurrences should not be hard. Appropriately archiving them would be moderately difficult but would serve as the evidence of the final tally. The final tally of all precincts could then be calculated by any number of independent organizations.

There can't be any hard to understand computer voodoo, deleteable audit logs, or single vendor reporting the final tally. No one should trust that anyways.

Honestly, for any serious query, the links serve mostly so you can double-check the AI. That's a useful function however.

Assuming uncontrolled public access to the blockchain, couldn't this also be used to prove to others that you voted "correctly", facilitating vote buying schemes?
I voted early in person in Colorado a few days ago. Use a machine to entry my votes. Votes were printed onto a piece of paper. I checked to make sure the marks on the paper matched what I entered into
the machine and then dropped it into the ballot box (not a machine just a box that collected the ballots). It was pretty sane and didn't seem like there was a lot to worry over related to the electronic entry system.

As to how the votes on the ballots are tallied - if those machines are compromised seems like a definite problem -- though there is at least the option to hand count the ballots to compare against ...

It really depends on the sport and the variant you play.

Let me give you couple of examples:
(a) foosball - you have a bunch of players who play both singles and doubles. What if you have two great defenders playing together in a team loosing to much weaker, but better suited for their positions, opponents?
(b) counterstrike vs apex vs overwatch (or, to some extent dota) - what if you have a game where you can be easily carried by your team just by not sucking too much? In counterstrike one weak teammate (either lacking skill or a headset) can cost whole team a game, but in overwatch you can pick a supporting class and just chill at the back waiting for the rest of your team to win the game for you.
(c) chemistry - you probably seen that at work as well, sometimes there's a synergy between two players that only occurs in that particular setup or it can be simply a matter of playstyle.
(d) variants - in billiards you have different games that look similar but for some reason some players shine in one variant and can't get through in others.
Funnily enough I noticed recently that Japanese and Korean engineers usually argue against using checksums and random magic rolling bytes on these messages (“it will never happen”), in contrast Euro engineers use them everywhere. In this case the Euro method although more complex would have let the system know you are spoofing the ABS and no such motion would have happened.
We also consolidated from multiple systems but we never had that many in parallel, we always were finished in time before adding/splitting the next set.

The previous setup was all SAP, but that was too slow and we couldn't get the change rate we wanted. That was over 10 years ago, and AX had different issues but at least nothing the end-users have to deal with.

Besides AX and 365 we have 3 more, as well as some legacy processes still using MSBI, but all of the data going in and data going out is captured (either in Databricks or in our integration systems) which means that reporting and things like invoicing, banking, purchasing etc doesn't really care much about the underlying ERP. The ERP core team of course does, but the days where most of the work was serving direct business day-to-day needs are long gone, it's mostly edge cases and keeping the ERP in line with business changes.

All the metrics are processed in spark and exposed to both Tableau (together with an SQL Warehouse that lets you access all the individual data as well), and Thanos. So if a technical team wants to do some deeper analysis side-by-side with technical data that's possible too (which is great since they tend to be more comfortable with that vs. tableau). It's pretty nice to have financial data, WSSI data, GTM data and service deployment data overlaid so you can see the direct impact of everything on everything. (even if the resolution for some data is not the same - zoom out enough and you get very actionable insights)

Perhaps one of the differences is what we are mainly in retail, warehousing and logistics, when we buy a product or services business we tend to ditch everything except the data and the people. Our data engineering team takes care of the capture and transformation and the respective specialised process teams (CRM, ERP, PIM, fulfilment etc) coordinate from the business, legal and operational perspective. There will be a cutoff date and depending on the size we'll either have had a realtime streaming period (CDC style mainly) or do a one-off snapshot of the business and do it in one go.

For our business users it means they won't need to go to a secondary system to get the 'other' data; instead, the data comes to them.

I'm not sure why this method has not failed yet, I suspect it's because some M&A strategy components outline the cost/benefit clear enough to not have us integrate something that is not integrate-able.
