Amazon has these numbers easily accessible as reports on their code systems runnable at any manager level, and many other ways to inspect what the team is doing and the risks you might have. I find them useful.

Bus factor is one way to think of it. Another is it lets you spot silos, or engineers who aren't working with others, or places where you can't as easily move engineers around (so you can fix that).

Some developers fear fungability, they think that that one system only they know is job security. I see it the other way, I see that as a technical risk, but also a thing that might be keeping a great engineer from working on more important projects. Or the way to work on something else when you get fed up with that one system you hate.
Um, they voted against banning it. That means that forced prison labor is still perfectly legal...

> The reality is, most of the time when you “ship” your software, executive management neither notices nor cares

your reality might be different than mine, but things that got shipped definitely get noticed because they are used as a bargaining chip for promotions, funding and for visibility of the entire team, that's one of the main concerns of a manager (unless they've checked out and are searching for another job)
I actually enjoy reversing APIs. A game I really liked to play announced EOS last year. I ended up capturing a bunch of mitm traffic and built my own API instead and now head up a private server for it.

I don't dare monetize that project, but I wish I could use my skills to make some extra money at reversing APIs. Wouldn't know where to begin though.

No, voters understood that prison is supposed to hurt a bit.

Perhaps, but one big problem is the rocket equation: dinosaurs are generally very large compared to humans, so they'd need huge spaceships to carry them, and as we know, the rocket equation means you need far more fuel to lift an amount of mass to orbit. Perhaps only some smaller species of dinosaur evolved into an intelligent civilization.
If you are interested in this sort of stuff and you are visiting Oxford, I recommend the History of Science Museum. It contains a fantastic collection of scientific instruments including microscopes.

what?

it's perfectly readable to me, I just read any comma as a short pause. When saying that out loud, you would make a short pause. It's read the same whether there's an ellipsis, semicolon, hyphen, or whatever.

Also, no, it isn't semantically indistinguishable from that latter sentence, what? You literally know this, you said that that's "obviously not what is meant". The order of the sentences, and the pause there, is what conveys semantic information, not whether that pause is a comma or not.
A piece of feedback: The maximized MDI windows did not keep their border, AFAIK.

Your post is his point
He was doing an instrument landing at the time. When the ILS switched off, he automatically aborted the landing as trained. This is a go–around, so you apply TOGA thrust, point the nose up, level the wings, raise the gear, and climb to 4000’ or whatever is the correct altitude for the TOGA procedure at the airport you are at. He was already 1200’ above the ground and climbing when he ejected. He was in a perfect level climb, he just wasn’t looking at his standby instruments and so he lost situational awareness for a few seconds. Glass cockpit or not, the standby instruments and fly–by–wire system were completely reliable in spite of the lightning.
This is why books like Catch-22 were written.

> I receive and make about 1-2 accidental calls a week, it hasn’t been a big deal for me.

A couple of accidental calls a week is too much when you are dealing with people across many time zones. You don't want to call the CEO of a company is Dubai at 3 AM because your phone is too stupid to prevent this from happening when the person you were speaking to locally ended the call ten milliseconds before you.

I'm happy to hear this isn't a problem for you. Good. Please don't assume the same is the case for others. A google search easily reveals this isn't just "ranting" as another comment put it.

This issue can make you look unprofessional and even inconsiderate. The person you woke up in New York, London, Singapore or Buenos Aires isn't going to think "this only happens a few times a month".

Again, I tend to deal with executives from mid to large enterprises world wide. I do not ever want to call any one of them by accident. My US $1,500 phone should be able to make this possible while not completely destroying other usability elements.

As I said in my post, the solutions are not complex at all. No need to train a new AI agent or anything like that. Just some sensible rules and time-based settings takes care of it.
kinda makes you wonder about his opinion on the overall reliability of the F-35 if he made that call.
> Shipping is really hard and you have to make it your main priority if you want to ship

This feels like it’s written by AI by a junior level “prompt engineer”

> Shipping doesn’t mean deploying code, it means making your leadership team happy

Aka, corporate glazing. Gotcha. Over sell your corporate accomplishments and polish your turd with a clean deck. Gotta make sure the font is just barely legible and explain it quickly before they ask follow up questions

> You need your leadership team to trust you in order to ship

yea that’s why I get _paid_ to do work, not glaze c-level executives and appeal to their fragile egos

> Most of the essential technical work is in anticipating problems and creating fallback plans

Falling back is a loser mentality.

> You should asking yourself “can I ship right this second?”

no, I should be asking myself, “why am I still at this dead end job that asks me to constantly ‘ship’ a broken product. Leadership doesn’t want to encourage delivering value to the customer”

> Have courage!

You don’t need courage at a “big TeCh” job. Just be slightly competent and you are already light years ahead of your colleagues
Do you mean the rules or the people? I don’t mean to sound facetious.

It's deeper than just weights because the topic is biological.

In the old days of genomics there were massive patent wars. First, the human genome project itself. Craig Venter got massive funding to sequence the human genome with the understanding he'd patent all the genes. So there was a space race of sorts where the private sector sought to beat him - lead by Francis Collins now head of the NIH. It came out a tie (or that's what they called it), Bill Clinton brought them both on a stage and said "great job! also genes aren't patentable!"

Then a whole stink arose around Myriad Genetics who patented a BRCA test. Now that's a bigtime gene far as cancer goes see: Angelina Jolie. Then in 2013 the supreme court ruled genes cannot be patented.

So what is alphafold 3? Is it a ground truth of which protein interacts with what? In which case it seems not patentable. Or is it a method, or algorithm, to estimate protein interactions? That's more grey area. Idk. If google wanted to monetize it proper they'd probably keep it as an internal black project and cook up pharma collabs and such. But they've made it public(ish). Still a long way to go, or at least some more steps. If we say Protein A interacts with Protein B, we then have to ask whether they're expressed in the same cell, which itself is not enough! Most bio measurements are in big batches of millions of cells. It has to be same cell at the same time. So if our batch is a million cells w/ protein A, a million cells w/ protein B, then it looks like both are "on" in our batch of 2 million cells. But the truth is more nuanced. And then even then, other considerations such as post translational modifications and which cellular compartment these proteins reside in.
Generally the game is created by external forces, not the players. If you’re an independently wealthy individual you can afford to work for pleasure. The rest of us? We like to eat and live in comfortable dwellings and take care of our families, so we play the game of pleasing our superiors in return for the money to live a comfortable existence.
> it was common to have company-provided before Google. IBM and Motorola had cafeterias.

I'm not sure that was popular, though (as in something the majority of the population believed in). Grandma in Poducksville almost certainly had no idea. She would have known about Google doing the same, though, as it was blasted all over the news constantly for a while.
That's true but the complaint that gamblers have (at least those who pay taxes in the US), if you win a big jackpot in January, say $10,000, and over the course of the year you lose all $10,000 so that you're even, you still have to pay tax on the jackpot (as normal income) but can't reduce the amount by the subsequent losses. Yes there is some ability to deduct some losses as expenses but it's not an even trade. It's hard to win at gambling, much harder the way the US tax code is structured. Keep in mind that many countries don't tax gambling winnings at all, so many people feel the US rules are unfair from the start.

No, the screens are a separate system from the fly–by–wire computer. You don’t throw your desktop computer out of a window just because one monitor goes out. You use the other monitor to order a replacement from IT or Newegg or whatever. In this case the F–35 has three independent displays that can all redundantly display the same information: the HUD in the pilot’s helmet, the primary display, and the standby display. The standby display is smaller and below the primary display in the cockpit, but it is designed to keep working even when everything else doesn’t. Their whole purpose is to be the backup in case the other displays fail.
Unless you wanna keep the original for yourself too
Abortion restrictions are a large component of this directly (women dying who need a d&c due to miscarriage and similar, as an example, and not even considering if there is a national abortion restriction). Another driver is supply gaps -- OB/GYN having Big Brother breathing down their next and add a mountain of paperwork or worse for each procedure, whether abortion or not, is another major issue. Add to that the typical political environment in states with abortion restrictions are not conducive to adoption, to pre-natal nor post-natal medical support due to minor costs not being a welcome program, and to antipathy to the educated and to education, and you have a really bad time.

>Aka, corporate glazing. Gotcha. Over sell your corporate accomplishments and polish your turd with a clean deck

Is it wrong, though? This is a pretty much universal phenomenon. It's less about real goal X and more about making sure the boss feels good when you're around.

That usually correlates with being a good worker, but not always.

> why am I still at this dead end job that asks me to constantly ‘ship’ a broken product.

Because the economy is broken right now and my country is gaslighting me into think it's perfectly fine for rent to go up 50% in 2-3 years and groceries to double.

The vulnerability allows extracting the secret key from a vulnerable device. If I remember correctly, it's after a successful auth / sign flow, which requires the login/password of the target website.

I could give you my security key and you'll be able to login once. If you can extract the key, then you could login without the security key. In the context of a targeted attack, that could heavily change the impact.

That's not "[understanding] a complex report." It exemplifies the authors point that they're portraying it as "tools for those unwilling to put in any effort." During this meeting, how is that guy going to critique any detail from the prospectus or make any useful contribution from the 20 second summary?

I think these LLMs are tremendously useful and the ads undersell them. But I can also appreciate that the ads have to appeal to the lowest common denominator, and showing real workflows in 30sec is difficult.
I'm not familiar with VMX-1 and will take your word on it. This may be exactly as appears.

On the other hand, there are way too many instances of officer shenanigans only punished by snubbing them on their career path. "he followed procedure" combined with firing gives off these vibes.

Call me cynical, but if there is a lack of trust, it because of a lack of transparency in the past.
Continuing…

This is why as the article mentions a fan alone can be worse than doing nothing in sufficiently hot and dry air. People only sweat so fast so at some point without supplemental moisture the fan acts like a convection oven simply warming people faster. This can be offset by adding supplemental moisture via a 'evaporative vests' or mister the maximum temperature increases.

This and other reasons mean health organizations are concerned with finding and communicating the maximum temperature fans are still useful.
I can't open the link, but from the title here are my reelections on Singapore.

I lived there for 10 years, and in that time I saw SG degrade from being a great place to live to being a place where living was practically impossible. This wasn't just my experience: I saw the same in highly paid academics, middle income taxi drivers, Indian laborers etc etc.

- Though it was introduced in good faith, the 'change shift' system of taxi management meant that it was almost impossible to get a cab at certain hours unless your destination was close to where the driver was going. For this reason I was routinely refused service, despite it being illegal to do so. This is one of the factors influencing the rise of Grab and suchlike. This was a real pity as taxi driving is a protected profession that only native SGs are allowed to do. Many late middle aged SGs become taxi drivers after having lost their jobs as engineers, craftsman and suchlike in SG's relentless drive towards an exclusive white color economy.

- For years, car ownership was kept expensive, to ensure that the roads did not become crowded. After the last recession, the barriers were lifted, leading to a notable decline of use of public transport and increase of mad traffic jams. This was done to 'boost the economy', but was clearly a massive failure.

- It is impossible to buy alcohol after 9pm. This was a knee jerk reaction to the so-called riots in Little India a few years ago. SG is terrified of racial tensions, having had a dodgy racial history in its early days. However, this was a complete over-reaction. For similarly fatuous reasons, they also banned Hookah (hubbly-bubblies).

- Rent is now at insane levels. It is also impossible to get a lease longer than one year. The largest part of one's income is now swallowed up by rent, and even the so-called highly paid academics are now struggling to get by.

- SG has a reputation of having very low corruption, however the corruption is still there. The former Dean of Research of a local university had one of the largest citation counts in S E Asia. This is mostly down to the fact they insisted that they be counted as an author on all papers coming out of his program. I could fill a book with such examples of quality suffering at the hands of avarice.

- With little in the way of wage control, the controlling class are encouraged to bring in low-paid workers from China and fire their experienced staff. I saw many of my favorite food stalls go under as a result of this insane drive for profit.

The outcome is a place where people are struggling to get by, where the quality of life seems always under attack from well-meaning but short-sighted bureaucrats.

On the plus side, their trains (MRT) are well-designed, well-maintained, popular and effective. The people are cool and honest.

If the store of your choice offers FLAC as an option (and I think they all do), you can simply make your own MP3s from the FLAC files. That's one of the biggest advantages of lossless audio. (The improvement in audio quality is actually pretty minimal, for most people.)

You can also keep the FLAC files to convert them to some future format later, or even do something really wild like burn them to a CD or something.

The technical reason was “for loss of trust and confidence in his ability to execute the responsibilities of his command” which is not related to him following the book or if the book is right or wrong.

Which makes sense. It was subjective and that is ok.

“As a commander you serve at the pleasure of the commandant,” Del Pizzo said. “It was an absolute privilege to have the opportunity to lead the Marines, sailors and civilians of VMX-1.”

also

“he made the decision to relieve the commanding officer of [VMX-1], due to the unique mission of VMX-1.”
> Apple wanted to block the walled garden of Flash for their own under any pretense possible for control.

Just when it got to the point Flash could transpile to native iOS apps, Apple banned transpilation for six months or so at which point the DOJ was rumored to be investigating. By the time the ban was lifted there was virtually nothing being developed in Flash.

Of course none of this would have been worth doing without also banning developers from mentioning, linking or communicating competing prices in apps or to app users to really isolate the gacha gamers from other spending funnels.
> No, because he was not fired for ejecting from an unsafe aircraft, which is what you're claiming would be the situation where the pilot would hesitate.

That's not quite right. The pilot doesn't have an outside oracle who tells them the truth if their aircraft is beyond saving. They have to make that decision under stressful circumstances and having only partial information about the world. Making that decision, to declare their own previously safe aircraft no longer salvageable in their own head is where the hesitation might happen.

I'm not saying that this was a bad call. The General has much much more information than I do. It is entirely possible that this was so egregious a case, and the plane was so obviously flyable that firing the pilot was the correct decision. I don't know.

What I'm saying is that you can't just say "oh they won't hesitate, because their plane will be unsafe". Because the hesitation (if it happens) happens before they decide that their aircraft is unsafe. Instead they will spend possibly valuable seconds thinking through if they truly have tried everything. If they are perhaps mistaken. If they maybe will lose their jobs because there was something they haven't seen clearly enough, but in the cold harsh light of an investigation will mean that they made a mistake.

Pilots are already heavily biassed against ejections. It is embarrassing, even if it was justified. It is a deviation from the routine. It is potentially deadly, potentially ruinous to their ability to continue flying on health grounds. This might be one more factor now which will bias them against ejecting. I hope the General made the right call.

Part of the issue is how "the thing" (in this case, gambling) mutates post-legalization (and also via technology). Sports betting was a minor pastime that a small percentage of the public engaged in, mostly just occasionally and usually for minor stakes. Part of that was the inherent friction - you needed to either be in Las Vegas or have an illegal or offshore bookie. And still, you needed to place bets in person or on the telephone. Today it's in your pocket 24x7, every sport available including international, and instead of betting on a game, you can bet every quarter, every player, every play. The degree to which sports gambling has penetrator society has multiplied probably 100x over what existed prior to legalization.

Oh, and sports is just a doorway to full mobile casino gambling (slots, blackjack, video poker, etc), already legal in a few states, growing quickly, which will ultimately be a much larger gambling market.
