I think when people say "Seattle", they are generally referring to the Seattle metro area which frequently encompasses Seattle, Everett, Tacoma and the eastside (e.g. Bellevue), but for some conversations Tacoma is considered a se

Ya, 787 quality issues have been publicized for a few years now, especially at the South Carolina facility. I also remember the DoD temporarily stopping deliveries of planes from Being due to quality, possibly last year or the year before.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment, but typically companies have teams (architects, developers, etc.) on staff to help solve business problems.

A person commenting on this topic at a different site mentioned that there is a lot of content on the internet around how to draw (animals?) with LaTex and a different tool (can't remember the name), so it's unclear if GPT is just

I got my start doing 2D games on the TRS80 color computer and it really gave me a good foundational understanding of computers. Because it was just bare hardware and assembly, you had to do everything manually, graphics, sound, input, memo

This is how systems handled it before relational was widely adopted, for example the IBM System 36.

I agree that the comparison is apple to orange (or apple to pine tree). I'm not a neuroscientist, but it's a hobby area that I read a lot of the research about the brain and the cells in the brain, etc. With each new study it se

Every step updates shared databases (frequently plural). In the case of the fulfillment step, the following systems+databases were involved: ERP, WMS, Shipping. Typically, in end to end testing, tests are run within the same shared QA syste

From research I've read, unit tests (whether automated or not) tend to catch around 30% of bugs whereas end to end testing and manual code review (believe it or not) each tend to catch around 80% of bugs.

When you say we don't store symbols (in memory slots), would you also disagree that we store symbols at all? I've never been a fan of symbolic AI. It always felt like the fuzziness of neural nets and pattern matching were a bette

Yes it requires training for each individual. In addition, they tested using a trained model from one person to try to decode a different person and the results were no better than chance. They also said that the person must cooperate for

That approach can work but requires a person with enough experience with the systems+domain in question to know when it's a reasonable risk. Just last week we had an example where they didn't have enough experience and there was

I don't think it's just the tone. At the start of the article, it implies relation and CRUD approaches should and will be replaced by Event Sourcing approach, but he doesn't support that, or even provide a good sense of pros

Same here for 6809 and OS-9. I remember talking to friends writing 6502 assembly and comparing notes and it made me pretty happy I was working on the 6809 due to various operations and addressing modes.
