Sorry for the dumb question, but can you clarify this?

> Aka, you are a small business. Aka, never do hourly and fixed cost projects only.

My reading is “never charge hourly, and never charge fixed cost”. Am I misunderstanding? What is the third alternative? Retainer + hourly? Something else?
Not a dupe.

The last thread was just someone drawing attention to what they saw. This thread is in response to an investigative piece by 404 Media.
the thing is that cost won't go down by 5x but much more.

once the ai gets smart enough that it only requires an intern to make the prompt and solve the few mistakes, development cost will be worth nothing.

there is only so much demand for software development.
One customer filed a TRO saying "don't revoke my certs". DigiCert then said "well, I guess we can't revoke any of the certs for the 80,000+ other customers either". That's stupid, and not acceptable. Instead, revoke the other 79,999 customers and communicate to the CABF saying "we've got one holdout that we are legally prevented from acting on." DigiCert didn't do that. They're acting not on behalf of transparently representing the interests of the CA/Browser Forum, instead they're trying to save their own skin from both sides. That's not good enough.
It’s not a monumental task, just read the two great catechisms of the Catholic Church, or even sound compendiums/summaries of them, and you’ll know it all[+].

1997 Catechism: http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/ccc_toc.htm

1566 Catechism: http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015038914233;vie...

You could read just the 1997 Catechism and not miss out on a dogma/doctrine, but the 1566 is these days an under appreciated masterpiece, a work of art really, while the 1997 has a “beads on a string” and committee-cooked feel in many sections, while still being great.

I’d guess at least a few million Catholics alive today have fully read or otherwise are fully informed about the Catechisms’ contents. Hopefully the number continues to increase over the years.

[+] As a result you won’t know all of Catholic philosophy, theology, history, and particular rulings re: moral theology, but you don’t need to in order to be informed re: Catholic doctrine.

I really appreciate the thoughtful commentary.

I agree with most of this. The part I question is if both sides of the requirements exploring process need to have agency, or if it is sufficient to have just one human participant (ideally the customer/user).

My thinking being that the adversarial or opposing agency could by provided by way of strict business rules written with human intent. So, when the customer makes a request to the model, a tool could get called that raises an exception also designed by a human. But, physically only one person is involved in that transaction.
This wouldn't make sense. JavaScript offers all the utilities necessary, and operates with all web elements.

Converting python code to WASM would cause even less performance than JavaScript.

The only reason to do something like this is if you only know Python and refuse to use anything else.

I was wondering how many humans still touch an iPhone during it's production in a Foxconn factory.

Looking at this 2023 article[0], a lot. 35000 workers on three factories in India, solely dedicated to produce recent gen iPhones, with depcting of manual assembly down to screwing parts. I was expecting they automatized a lot more.

They are open source in the way Android is open source. The actual results are open source indeed, but the culture and the chain isn't, so, if the people who run the projects decide that they are not open anymore, they won't be. And so, the projects will stop, as there will be nobody to release the newer versions. Same as how Android could maybe maintained indefinitely, but not improved in a way that it is right now.

The thing is, Dimon isn’t the company. He would like to think he is. But he’s also just an employee. If the “company” is going to decide, that opinion should come from at least a larger set of managers that are closer to the experiences of workers on the ground. The company isn’t deciding anything - Dimon personally is, without data on why remote work is bad, and likely without transparency on his real motivations.
Apple reveals first custom modem chip, shifting away from Qualcomm
The soldered ram was necessary for Strix Halo. There is a large group of people who really want Strix Halo, and are willing to pay for it. There is no reason they should have avoided making this product.

(The 32GB config is silly, though. With that little RAM, there is nothing it does better than a cheaper machine with a discrete GPU.)
They could've made it a trusted-computing-only model distributed with a proprietary encryption, unlocked with an expensive licence key if they wanted.
Well, they tried producing high end Windows NT machines at one point, that would have run Office, had OpenGL support, etc. But no one bought them. So its not clear that doing the same but with Irix would have gone any better.

The last-gasp part of SGI I would have like to have seen develop was Cellular IRIX. If I recall it was a sort of distributed OS where the scheduler was node aware and could parcel out tasks within a single process to other nodes. What NFS did for the local/remote file system split, Irix would do for compute. Never came to fruition.
Thank god! Some good news!

I had a husky-lab mix. He was not food-motivated at all. We did _not_ leave food for him all day long, because the other doggo, purebred lab, would eat the food designated for the husky if we did.

So we fed them both at the same time, twice a day, and had to watch if the husky would eat or not for that meal, and remove the food bowl if he wasn't hungry, so the lab wouldn't scarf it down.

This is an n=1 anecdote that your guess was the opposite of my experience. That dog just didn't care about food. He did however love eating ice cubes. I never tried just a bowl of ice cubes.

Great questions. For commits or revision diffs as documents—either will work. Yes, I've applied this to N-day vulnerability identification to support exploit development and offensive security testing. And yes, for fuzzing, a sensible approach would be to dump the exported function attributes (names, source/disassembled code, other relevant context, etc.) from a built shared library, and ask, "Which of these functions most likely parses complex input and may be a good candidate for fuzzing?" I've had some success with that specific approach already.
I don’t think he has much to fear about tech workers, to be honest. JP Morgan has a huge number of them, and most will stay. The market for tech workers isn’t great right now.

I think the RTO rant spells trouble in other ways - which is that it is probably motivated by JP Morgan’s exposure to the commercial real estate market, which this and other RTO mandates are trying to deal with.
I am not a lawyer, but my understanding is that's just how the justice system works. Reasonable people can disagree about what exactly a complicated statement says, since language is full of ambiguities. People have been discussing what the U.S. Constitution says exactly from the day it was written and there are still a lot of disagreements.

The standard response to this is that laws should be written in ways that are non-ambiguous but that's easier said than done. Not to mention that sometimes the lawmakers can't fully agree themselves so they leave some statements intentionally ambiguous so that they can be interpreted by the courts.
Isn’t that the part of the population she ripped off though :)
Something I find odd about Uncle Bob's style is the preference for reading and modifying shared state over pure functions that take args. It makes me do a double take when I read a method registerTheCandidateAsPrime() (taken from UB's rewrite) that doesn't take a candidate arg.

How would you unit test those methods? You'd have to directly set the field values, then call the method, then assert on the fields. If the answer is "you don't unit test private methods" then that's completely fine, because I agree with that (perhaps this is implicit from the private keyword, I don't know Java). But I'm struggling to imagine how you would get to those private methods with such a strict adherence to TDD as Bob recommends. Methods like increaseEachPrimeMultipleToOrBeyondCandidate() are quite complex, and would be tricky to build up using TDD if you couldn't exercise them directly.

If nothing else, surely Bob's approach is not thread safe. Call PrimeGenerator3.generateFirstNPrimes() concurrently and they'll trample all over each other. John Ousterhout's stateless version doesn't have that problem.

Err... not so much. Most drip coffee makers are basically airlift pumps, where the air is from the liquid boiling to steam.

They're nifty little pumps, but they're absolutely not "distilled water" in the sense that you're imagining - It's not steaming up, condensing, and dripping. It's steaming up, pushing a bunch of liquid water up a small tube, and then burping the whole payload onto the coffee, including any and all impurities that are already in the water.

Example video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xV8vZqHd0ao

They're used lots on budget aquaponics/hydroponics/aeroponics setups because they can push water up surprising heights with nothing but a cheap aquarium air pump, or - in the case of a drip coffee machine - a cheap heating element.

---

All of that said - you're still running that water through ground coffee and then a literal filter. I'd not be surprised in the slightest to find it also removes a lot of things.
It literally does not describe a file, and does not literally describe the data layout of anything on disk (though with enough knowledge, you may be able to infer facts about probable layouts).

Sure, to the extent that happens, the Framework will compete with them. Competition is great.

Per Wikipedia, the XB70 carried: 300,000 pounds (140,000 kg) / 46,745 US gal (38,923 imp gal; 176,950 L), on a maximum takeoff weight of 542,000 lb - so about 55% of takeoff weight was fuel.

A 747-8I carries up to 63,034 gallons, or about 400k pounds, on a max takeoff weight of 987,000 pounds, or about 42% of takeoff weight.

Interestingly, the ranges are about the same. The XB70's combat radius (there and back) is 3,725 nm, for a straight line range of 7450 nm, the 747-8I's range is 7730 nm.

There's no problem with reading the first. While reading the 2nd would be a serious slog if it didn't (usually) immediately fall into one or more fallacies or inconsistencies. Might there be a good idea deep in that 2nd type writing? There might but you can't expect people to first learn an inconsistent foreign language just in that hope. What you do get is people reading through to these first inconsistencies and reporting on that.
The application is essentially ready to go live immediately - robust payment pipeline exists and both landing pages and actual UI are polished.

A schema isn't software in the sense imagined by the ILGA. If it was, every Excel spreadsheet would be too, and Excel spreadsheets are the basic currency of FOIA.

An "operating protocol" is a step-by-step list of things to accomplish some action. It's a finite state machine for humans. Obviously, a schema isn't that; a schema is declarative, and an operating protocol is imperative.

The court definitively established that SQL schemas aren't source code in the sense imagined by the ILGA. SQL queries can be. Schemas are not.

It's a bit different. Digits is based on the Tegra CPU, which is an ARM chip with integrated nvidia GPU. It's nearly COTS (commercial off the shelf), but not quite. Tegra CPU support isn't in mainline linux, so you have to run their fork of Ubuntu or build your own kernel. The integrated GPU is a special class in nvidia drivers, and some things just don't work on it (they only work on a discrete GPU) for seemingly no reason too.

It probably takes a person with a direct approach to bullshit to keep a free software kernel/OS project on track. Linus Torvalds for Linux, Theo de Raadt for OpenBSD, both known for their lack of tolerance for bullshit, both heading projects which managed to stay on their respective tracks for decades. In medicine 'gentle healers make stinky wounds' and the same is true for software development.
It's soldered RAM, which is a fantastic trade-off for specific scenarios (inference). If all you care about is local inference, this thing is basically the same price as a 5090 (I think?) with multiple times the memory, and no need to purchase "everything else" (mobo, CPU, etc.) alongside. And given that home inference will typically be serving a single user at once, a handful at worst, you really have no need for a GPU. I'm guessing that this product will be uniquely positioned for quite a long time.
