Maintenance is extraordinarily important for the long term usefulness of a fighter jet. There is even an official metric tracked called "maintenance man-hours per flight hour." The F-35, which was even designed to try to minimize this (while still being stealthy and lethal), requires ~5 hours of maintenance for every hour the jet is in the air. If you get cut off from parts your Air Force will be almost unable to fly in a few months.

Pretty much all modern fighters require replacement parts from the original manufacturer. There are not enough fighter jets to support an aftermarket parts manufacturer, especially one that could exist without getting sued by Lockheed, Northrop, and the like.

The main technical issue is that you have to reverse engineer the parts if you don't have original drawings and didn't get a legal license to make your own. All the technical bits on an F-35 have anti-tamper features designed to make reverse engineering almost impossible (in case a jet gets shot down over enemy territory the USA doesn't want the enemies to have an easy time figuring out the weak points or finding bugs to exploit).

If you want to see what fighter jets without legal repairability license turns into, look at Iran. The sanctions placed on Iran have meant that they've been stringing their inventory of jets along for decades without official parts. They cannibalize other jets, buy black market parts, and cobble together their own solutions to keep their Air Force going. Check out the Sedjil, which is a modified SAM, that they created to put on their F-14s because the USA stopped providing Phoenix missiles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedjil_(air-to-air_missile). Trying to keep an Air Force going without official permission is really challenging.

But Israel's case is a little different from the above discussion- negotiating for the rights to modify isn't really about replacement parts. They aren't that concerned that the USA will cut them off. Their negotiation is more because they want to put some of their own systems on the jet. In older 4th generation jets, integration of new systems could be straightforward; you can put it in an external pod with a standardized mounting pylon and standardized data bus. On the F-35 you obviously want to avoid hanging a bunch of extra pods off the jet, so you need to get engineering drawings and software details to figure out how to internally integrate your stuff. Because reverse engineering is hard, they pushed to get this technical information legally. The only time this effort is worth it is when you think your country's equipment outperforms what the original F-35 can do. You need a decent tech to beat the stock F-35 systems, but Israel probably has a few areas where they can do that. But even with the right to modify the F-35, Israel will be heavily reliant on original parts for maintenance. They do not have a big enough industrial base to make all the parts needed for the jet.
For sure, those searches are more about showing what’s possible (and making browsing fun) than what a high-intent buyer would actually type in.

That said, from speaking to a lot of London buyers, people are often more flexible on location than you’d expect. The real criteria tend to look more like: “3-bed house under £700k, 30 min commute from [office], near a park, low crime, good schools” rather than “3-bed in Hackney.” Basically along the lines of the location / mapping data you're suggesting.

We’ve already built travel-time search and plan to layer in more of that other 'services' style data in the next few months.
I would say no. While I pay for chatgpt Claude and perplexity monthly (I don't know why anymore) my wife does not use any at all. She has around 5-10 things she uses on the smartphone, and if she needs something new there is still google.

I on the other side reduced my googling by 95%

The issue from before wasn't in combining information, it was that it wouldn't have information for the given name in the model and so return a story with made up information to the user. Now it just defaults to a searches information for background information on people.

Now let's talk program and unit cost and combat range.

The Arrow was a brilliant plane for its time and purpose. But its cancellation was not wrong (if perhaps immature) - if there are no Tu-92 to shoot down, there's no need for the Arrow.

It's like the CANDU that solved a problem (Canadian inability to enrich U and make welds for PWR) using a solution at hand (world's largest capacity to make heavy water) but that is now largely obsolete (the CANDU's have been increasing their enrichment is an attempt to gain market share).

EDIT: I know that Tu-92, like B-52s still fly as part of the triad. But when the Arrow was designed there was no triad, or even diad. But what does the Arrow do to Tu-92s that an (modern, not the '50s crap) AA missile can't do better?
It looks like we are moving into the world where major powers will only use domestic IT infrastructure. It is a major national security issue and could not be delegated to other countries, no matter how friendly. The US will only use American IT infrastructure, China will only use Chinese vendors, etc... Russia currently does not have strong capabilities, maybe they will use Chinese solutions in meantime. It feels like the era of Borderless Internet is coming to a close.
No, that's the opposite of my point: what the camera does is mechanical work, it is explicitly not creative.
If legal authority or lack thereof is not the issue then the details matter if we're going to make an issue of this. I suspect that the researcher's private communications should not have caused them to be denied entry, though to be certain we'd have to see them.

Would a researcher who said something like "J6 should have gone all the way" have been denied entry in 2021? I suspect they would have, and that many would have cheered that refusal.
If you're not building something like Gmail, Docs, or Figma (AKA an app that should be on the desktop instead of the web). Rendered HTML should be the way to go, even if it's just a gateway to a more complex infrastructure.
There are a few people like that, but not many. And certainly none in the AI space.
The recommendations in other replies to your post look good.

If you grew up hearing certain sounds, it will usually be easy for you to hear and produce those sounds, whether it's the sounds of Arabic, click languages, or English (as native speakers of Chinese or Japanese know wrt the sounds made by 'l' and 'r'). Infants hear all the distinctions, but they tend to lose the ability as their brain learns their first language (or first and second in bilingual homes). To some extent you can, however, pick up the distinctions up to around puberty. And adults who have studied phonetics (all the sounds used by all the languages of the world) can generally learn to hear and produce those as well.

Writing systems generally do not change the spoken language, as evidenced by the way English is written, which bears only some relationship to the spoken language (and often only to the way English was spoken hundreds of years ago).

In order to to learn another language, linguists study phonetics (as mentioned above), as well as phonology, morphology, syntax etc. I can say from experience that these help. I don't think I'd call these subjects "neuroscientific", just linguistic.

Changing which word is emphasized completely changes the meaning of the sentence.

LLM's hallucinate. They just do.

If companies are held liable, then they just... won't make LLM's available in countries where they are held liable.

Gripen has already been mentioned, but I've never heard a fact about SAAB's AJ-37 Viggen that didn't make me smile ear-to-ear:

> The aircraft was also designed from the beginning to be easy to repair and service, even for personnel without much training.

> The digital central computer was the first of its kind in the world, automating and taking over tasks previously requiring a navigator/copilot

> The airframe also incorporated a thrust reverser to use during landings and land manoeuvres, which [...] enabled operations from 500 m airstrips with minimal support.

> By the mid-1980s, Swedish Viggen fighter pilots [...] had managed to achieve radar lock-on with radar on the SR-71 on numerous occasions. Despite heavy jamming from the SR-71, target illumination was maintained by feeding target location from ground-based radars to the fire-control computer in the Viggen.

All around one of the coolest fighter jets ever made. Swedish engineering makes me eat my big fat American heart out every time.

I think he is referring to Golf Courses:

"Golf courses in the US occupy roughly 2 million acres, which is larger than the state of Delaware but smaller than Connecticut."

"California almond growers use between 4.7 to 5.5 million acre-feet of water annually, representing roughly 14.4% to 16.75% of the state's agricultural water consumption"

The general consensus of AI overlords is that humans are minors.
Elseforum, I've debated this. I consider it to be more of an inside company lobbying group than a union. In particular, they have no ability to collectively bargain for a contract. None of their wins are things that have been able to be put into a contract.

Furthermore, some of the issues they've brought up have been things that are... not contractural and rather political. For example https://www.alphabetworkersunion.org/press/ceasefire-demand ... while it is ok for an organization to have opinions, things that are not about the contract that the worker has with the company gets into... well... political issues and that can hinder the ability for the group to get a majority representation and be able to do the things with contracts.
> Why should Canada do coalition missions?

Canada does coalition missions because Canada relies on allies for defense. We traipsed along on British misadventures for a century or so because we relied on them for defense and wanted to keep the British happy, and then we traipsed along on American misadventures for the last century because we relied on them for defense and wanted to keep them happy.

Oh, you miss the point. Nobody wants to overwork. The sweet spot is billing US company for enough hours for them to think you work more than their engineers, undercutting them in the absolute terms and getting more due to purchase power you have in your locale.
> The problem in the article is LLMs can recognize a request about a person's name but generate a fake story because it doesn't really have information about them, not that the LLM spit out random data which happened to appropriately respond to the question about who the person was with incorrect info each time by pure random chance.

I don't see how "arbitrary" is any better—that's certainly how humans behave if forced to provide an answer. While it may appear obvious how we engage our internal skepticism signal, it's obvious this search for contradictions is bounded by both breadth and depth. Such an instinct will need to be inspected and reproduced to provide a "I don't know" answer, if that is what you desire from your chatbot (rather than incoherent synthesis, aka creativity).
This write up sounds like it describes a very particular subset of companies. If you only want to work at the flashy unicorns in downtown San Francisco, you are signing yourself up for exploitation.

Like any career, if you get off the beaten path there are plenty of pretty okay jobs out there. Especially if you have a marketable skill. This is software, if you have a brain and functional hands - you already own the means of production!

I absolutely support unions - but you're going to personally be better off changing companies and working your career ladder and finding the spot for you than sticking around at an exploitative company just because they have a union.

In the end Canada is a net importer of US agricultural products. By far. Or at least was until last month. The stuff is rotting on the shelves now.

So what's the gripe? We import more food products than we export, and we overwhelmingly consume US agricultural goods.

Just not dairy and eggs (or poultry, I guess)

Is the concern that the US dominance of our economy is not total enough?

Sounds like a justification for annexation, for sure.

This is why agentic AI will likely cause a cataclysim in white-collar labor soon. The reality is, a lot of jobs just need "OK" performers, not excellent ones, and the tipping point will be when the average AI is more useful than the average human.
Agreed -- the thing that frustrated me in the post is the idea that not going through a hookup phase before finding a serious partner is "like running a marathon without doing any training", as though the skills involved in sustaining a relationship were the same skills involved in hookups, as opposed to an amplification of regular friendship skills.

Abundance mindset doesn't need to come from a sense of mastery over a game sold to you by a corporate product. IMO it's better to have abundance from a rich life filled with solid friendships that let you feel supported in taking risks, which may involve getting hurt, grieving, pulling yourself together, and trying again.

I have only anecdotal data from non-technical friends and family.

I’m referring to average people who may not be average users because they’re barely using LLMs in the first place, if at all.

While true... this is less of an issue if the breached database includes strongly encrypted passwords with individual salts.

Not sure why you think that would prove Chomsky wrong. First, languages that don't fit brains (children's or otherwise) aren't going to be spoken by humans in the first place. And second, languages that fit our brains--all 7000 of them spoken (or signed) today, as well as those that are now extinct--don't fit chimpanzees' brains. So there's something about our brains that makes it possible for us to learn language(s).
Article is the ASUS system which is $3000, so cheaper than the M4 max.
He claims, "The first thing you must understand is that dating markets are ruthlessly efficient at matching people of equivalent [attractiveness]. (...) dating apps brought gay dating norms to straights." If the first claim is true, you'd expect unattractive het men just get matched with het women who just aren't as attractive, rather than to get matched much less. So they aren't in competition with attractive het men in the same way they might be otherwise.

The article does make this contradictory claim, though, in accordance with your own: "The relationship between attractiveness and results on the apps is a power law. If you improve your appeal by 5%, you're not going to increase your matches by 5%, you will double them. The people far above you are doing unimaginably well."

(I also take issue with the assertion that height is the most important determinant of sexual attractiveness for men and boys. Being a 1.8-meter-tall 13-year-old was definitely much worse for my attractiveness than being 1.5 meters tall was for twentysomething men I met later. And there are a lot of other considerations like "personality", which includes not just the "vulnerability" mentioned here but also being able to smoothly follow social norms when you want to, a big disadvantage for autists like the OP.)

Yeah that was my take away. I don't doubt there are many company cultures like that, and you see many highly influential tech bros advocate for it. But in my ~15 year career, most of my burnout was due to lack of progress and politics, not 80+ hour work weeks.

> We've explored the deep ocean. Far from every spot, but enough to know the big picture. There is some life there but not much. Because there is very little resources to sustain life. It's pretty much just whatever scraps fall down from near the surface.

26.1% of the ocean floor is mapped. By comparison, 100% of the Moon surface and 99% of the Mars surface is mapped. Less than 5% of the ocean has actually been seen by humans. I don't know what makes you think we have enough to know the big picture, but to me that seems like a very small portion. And certainly not enough to really understand the lifecycle that's going on down there.

How can they possibly be sure that it is oxygen doing that?
The Su-35 has a combat range of 1600 kilometers, and the two Canadian fighter bases are about 2750km apart, which means they can barely fight in the area directly between the bases! The Su-35 would not be an effective interceptor when so far from the threats either (as the response times would be terrible). If Canada wants to defend itself from aerial threats, it just needs more bases and more planes.
