We went to the moon, invented aircraft, bridges, skyscrapers, etc, all without FEM. So that's why this is a bad comparison.

Of course. That's what they are accustomed to. 80/20 paper techniques that were replaced by SW were forgotten.

When tests are cheap, you make a lot of them. When they are expensive, you do a few and maximize the information you learn from them.

I'm not arguing FEM doesn't provide net benefit to the industry.
Exactly, the US already have a functional domestic semiconductor production, covering pretty much everything you'd need. It's much cheaper to protect and maintain that, compared to trying to revive or create a production line, like the EU is.

That seems to be the root cause. Increased regulatory oversight is unfortunately a double edged sword: you'll make the companies far less efficient.

Which is why letting it fail and letting the investors feel the pain is a good lesson: don't invest in schemes you don't understand and don't have transparency into.

> Unions have immense clout at VW[1], where labour representatives hold half the seats on the supervisory board and are, in theory, legally entitled to hold strikes from Dec. 1 as a tool to further escalate the conflict.

This is an underrated factor in Volkswagen's inability to focus on electric cars. Volkswagen once had a CEO who wanted to refocus the company, who was replaced by a hydrogen advocate with the votes of labour representatives[2].

As I would say in instrument theory.

This can be tough for some logicians to handle when they say "if your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail" when it's literally true on the surface.

It's just that most people don't even get basic tool use, much less move beyond, and it's quite understandable why.

Honestly: Screw the shareholders, this is entirely on them and their short term thinking. The stock market is so broken, with it's quarterly mindset. Businesses needed long term thinking and stability. If the shareholders feel that they need to make a profit trading short term, they can go buy f-ing Dogecoin and play the lottery.
This all sounds very appealing on the consultant side but I am not very convinced on the buyer side. The argument that with hourly you can get rid of consultants faster might work on people with medium to large budgets but fixed pricing has the guarantee that at least at the end I have X or I don’t have to pay. People with small budgets often don’t even have the money to burn testing out a consultant with nothing to show for it.
Are you aware of how many journalists, insinuation and universities that are marked as "misinformationism" and even "terrorism" by jpost and similar propaganda insinuations?
Fixed price works great if the client's expectations are easy to meet and you've done the work many times before in a fraction of the time that others would take by the hour.
> don't invest in schemes you don't understand and don't have transparency into.

If you want to be pedantic, heeding this lesson is what got Intel into this mess in the first place. If Intel bought EULV fabs from ASML a decade ago, they theoretically could be competitive with TSMC. Intel didn't invest, citing how poorly-understood and opaque EULV was and assuming they could beat it with another process. That miracle process never materialized, and now Intel has learned that without risk you get no reward.

Intel's decision wasn't even irrational, either. EULV is poorly-understood, and competing with it would have avoided the TSMC/ASML integrated monopoly that effectively manifests today.

I think database schemas deserve to be protected with one’s life as the holy ground of the system. If the schema is fucked, everything else will be fucked too.
You don't want this (likely) scenario:

-Intel Fails

-Production stops worldwide. (Not just development)

-US scrambling to sort out the supply chains

-China invades Taiwan

-US Fails

Intel must be replaced domestically. At least wait until there is another fab within the US mainland.
> Isn't IGA's shtick just replacing classical shape functions with the splines used to specify the geometry?

That's how it started, yes. The splines used to specify the geometry are trimmed surfaces, and IGA has expanded from there to the use of splines generally as the shape functions, as well as trimming of volumes, etc. This use of smooth splines as shape functions improves the accuracy per degree of freedom.

> If I recall correctly convergence rates are exactly the same

Okay, looks like I remembered wrong here. What we do definitely see is that in IGA you get the convergence rates of higher degrees without drastically increasing your degree of freedom, meaning that there is better accuracy per degree of freedom for any degree above 1. See for example Figures 16 and 18 in this paper: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Laurens-Coox/publicatio...

> geometry and the fields of quantities of interest do not have the same spatial distributions.

Using the same shape functions doesn't automatically mean that they will have the same spatial distributions. In fact, with hierarchical refinement in splines you can refine the geometry and any single field of interest separately.

> What is left in terms of potential?

The biggest potential other than higher accuracy per degree of freedom is perhaps trimming. In FEM, trimming your shape functions makes the solution unusable. In IGA, you can immerse your model in a "brick" of smooth spline shape functions, trim off the region outside, and run the simulation while still getting optimal convergence properties. This effectively means little to no meshing required. For a company that is readying this for use in industry, take a look at https://coreform.com/ (disclosure, I used to be a software developer there).
I think this is missing the point. The whole point is for it to do things you don’t know how to do.

For instance , generate a web front end that meets U.S. rules and regulations for executing a 401k roll over.

Every package manager I know of lets you install a package directly without any kind of Internet connection (I haven't tried much, but I've run into CORS errors with file URIs that suggest browser authors don't want those to work). They also--critically--allow you to not update your software.

> Have you noticed how in second 13 it rotates the lower body clockwise while the upper body rotates counter-clockwise in order to optimize the movements to archive the goal?

Could be a fancy optimization of course, but could as well be a side effect of a decoupled planning of the locomotion part and the upper body pick and place.

Algo could be: plan a path for a lower body motion from pose (4dof) A to pose B. And given pose B plan the upper body place of the tray in the target. If no constraints are broken plan both in parallel so it looks like one smooth behavior.

Obviously, I don’t know :)
> most car up until 10 years ago or so had hard physically wired throttles where you stepping on the throttle pulled a physical cable.

More like 25 years ago, at least in France. The 2001 Renault Clio 2 I'm driving has throttle-by-wire, the newest car I personally know of with a mechanical throttle is a 1998 Peugeot 205, the last model year of a car that debuted in 1982. I doubt any European car manufactured after 2001 has a mechanical throttle, if only because of European emission standards.

> The only thing that would cause a petrol engine to really go out of control would be if it was fly by wire throttle and that throttle position sensor was broken in the particular way that it’s reading as full throttle. Idk if manufacturers do this but it wouldn’t be hard to design a fly by wire throttle that when it fails the ecu will see it as closed not open.

On the Clio 2 car, there are two redundant linear potentiometer tracks. If the dual measurements don't match or if either sensor is disconnected, the ECU will default back to a slightly higher than idle throttle.
Apple removing the ability to run unsigned software entirely would footgun Mac sales. No way they would do that.
The same method works for any type of "dry" rice cooking. With "dry" I mean that all the liquid ends in the rice, no soup. The main advantage over cookers is that you can use chicken or seafood broth and add any other ingredient before the rice. You can still use it for white rice, just rice and salt.

My favourite recipe is to sauté chopped onions and peppers, a little garlic and black pepper, add shrimp, cuttlefish and clams, and then top up the water to the required amount and add the rice when it boils. Six minutes with the vitro on and, in ten more, it is delicious.

Change the seafood for mushrooms, chicken or whatever you like.
You’re conflating two separate issues: poor corporate governance and the government’s responsibility to protect critical industries. Expecting the government to somehow “un-Americanize” corporate culture—erasing the greed or mismanagement that's unfortunately standard in many large companies—just isn’t realistic. Government action to support vital industries isn’t about endorsing the practices of corporate executives; it’s about safeguarding resources essential to national security and economic stability.
Actors are better suited for highly heterogeneous task sets, where am actor or small set of them correspond to some task and you may have thousands or more.

Homogenous tasks should use an approach that is aware of and takes advantage of the homogeneity, e.g., the sort of specific optimizations a framework might make to orchestrate data flows to keep everything busy with parallel tasks.

You can use actors for orchestration, but you're really just using them because they're there, not because they bring any special advantages to the task. Any other solution that works is fine and there would never be a particular reason to switch to actors if you already had a working alternative.
For me the key element of a wiki is that anyone can modify it and the changes show up instantly without pre-emptive gatekeeping. In this case it looks like contributing requires getting a PR approved by the maintainer on GitHub.

If GitHub were just the UI for submitting changes I think that could actually be quite effective as a lightweight wiki solution, so long as people's changes are deployed right away and don't require a maintainer to merge them. But it's likely very difficult to do that in a secure way with a standard static site generator.

It's a backlink game.

Create a new site that is of some public good like this site. This site will probably gain domain and page authority much quicker than their main site and will attract more visitors and the key is that their page is linked through this auth.wiki site so their page (logto) will get the SEO benefit as well.

But personally I don't think this is an SEO play, more like a brand awareness thing. Some engineer at logto probably got pissed off with the state of auth documentation, went to his boss and proposed creating a simple static site with the "business case" being brand awareness and SEO.

My last resignation letter could have been vastly shortened by simply linking to this.

The risk-averse nature of large organizations can rub off on people who haven't experienced places that are small, agile, and streamlined. People who fall deep on that end of the spectrum have a strong sense of learned helplessness that, if they started out very talented, with hurt their long term career prospects. Given this article's framing of the problem, the learned helplessness mentality is a significant factor in the career debt trap.

This is human behavior. It doesn’t matter if it’s private or public, when people get together in groups to do business there tends to be similar behavioral patterns and outcomes. This is why almost none of the stories of differences between governments and corporations are true; people are people. Also there are plenty of government cases of being rewarded for efficiency, and cases of corporate employees being punished for saving money. I’ve heard bunches of stories here on HN of programmers complaining about being demoted or fired or flatly ignored when economizing business processes.
Neither concept nor plan are appropriate alternatives for scheme. Let's not argue with the inventors of the language on word choice.
Can also do both (kinda). Hourly and specify budget range. "I think it can get done with this many hours", then charge 30% up front of budget estimate and the rest of the hours on completion.
In other industries that might be ok (though not for the hundreds of thousands of people without jobs), but not this one. It would be like the US military being reliant on other countries, and potentially its main adversary (China), for its most advanced weapons.
This is often explained as “cycles are cheap, programmers are expensive”. For the sake of argument, suppose LLMs are able to replace programmers for “laborious but straightforward work” like writing native versions of your app for every platform, and optimizing the hell out of it.

Do we then expect all the apps we work with to become snappy again? Or are there red-queen-like dynamics that will prevent it?

I imagine for streaming tools like these it's pretty convenient. You don't have to manage buffers etc, just write code against a massive string and haskell takes care of streaming it for you and pulling in more data when needed.

There are libraries that handle it, but they probably have weird types, you can just use functions in the prelude to write a lot of these basic utilities.
The government can both let Intel fail and bail it out. It probably will.

Any bailout should happen post-bankruptcy. Shareholders and executives primarily receiving stock based compensation get wiped out, employees and the fabs get saved.

Only recently had someone "update" a thing, and in the process throwing reproducibility and checksums all out of the window. Told that person, that they built a nice prototype, but that those things need to be reintroduced to the thingy. But that person doesn't see the need. I guess some people just build throwaways all day every day. When in 2 months someone else wants to build the thing, it might simply not build any longer, because that dude did not pay attention to reproducibility at all.

This attitude seems to be wide-spread in Python land, unfortunately. Even prominent packages don't properly lock their versions and hashes. Many people deliver, I dare say, shoddy work.
