I'm just correcting the false statements (probably an honest mistake) in the comment that said "this a long talked-about problem with the South Carolina factory, that the place does not follow aerospace standards and practices. Th

SC wasn't really involved in this. The fuselage came from Spirit in Kansas, and final assembly happened in Renton.

Nah, you can figure that out pretty easily yourself, and I get the sense your question is not in good faith. Earlier in this thread you called someone "profoundly lazy" for asking a less simple question. There are many types of de

You are confidently acting like you understand this process, while repeatedly confusing design certification (of the type) vs. airworthiness certification (of individual airplanes).
65.
by rogerrogerr 3mo ago
This is accurate, except “recertify” is the wrong verb. This is about signing off on individual airplanes.

Do you have wet clothes sitting in the dryer until 2am? Curious how you deal with that.

And I’m saying the electricity companies will have excess power, but will also have excess debt to service on infrastructure they now don’t need. They’ll get rate hikes approved to force the remaining ratepayers to pay down the capex. Also,

by rogerrogerr 3mo ago
No, we won't - there's significant capex on all that infra that will have to be paid down, and we won't have datacenters to help pay for it.

Re. toothbrush, I have to take the opportunity to give Philips credit for the Sonicare electric toothbrushes they made ~15 years ago. That thing just keeps trucking, it’s incredible. I go on 2 week trips and don’t even bring the charger, an

At least in the US, the dudes who pick you up in the ambulance do not have medical degrees. They have various certifications that are far less than med-school levels of debt.

> There IS value being created, or people wouldn't use the tools. While I do think there is value being created, I think this form of argument is not as watertight as it appears at first glance. Humans are very capable of behaving i

That’s what code review is still for.

You can have a separate LLM as a brutal enforcer of an architecture decision. Works pretty well in the right harness.

They’re very, very different projects.

by rogerrogerr 3mo ago
I’m convinced the magic bullet is deterministic checks. Linters, static analyzers, etc. Whatever you can do to create deterministic gates that the LLM simply must overcome to reach a “done” state, do it. Has been making a huge difference fo

Any pointers how to get into that? I think I’d enjoy it. Was at a company that did manufacturing, and I was supporting it, but factories were in China and I was in the US.

Huh? Your own quote literally does not frame the center screen as "the car": > that does take over every screen of the car.

Eh, this isn’t really how businesses operate. How many businesses refuse to give devs large-spec machines? That’s very clear positive ROI. I think it’s excessively charitable to assume businesses are uber-competent ROI-chasers. The expense

Does high school attendance matter for anything? Genuine question. Always seemed like pre-college schooling always wanted you to think everything was more important long-term than it really was.

The real answer? (bolded) It’s complicated.

Why do you say it was given to executives in the company? The shareholders (which in the case of e.g. Ford, appear to be only 0.3% executives of the company) are the owners of the company. An extra dollar of income to the company does not b

Training is the least of my worries. They’ve got the single most valuable treasure trove of ad targeting data the world has ever seen. People type way too much personal stuff into these text boxes. That trove that they “can’t” sell is going

Doesn’t this basically mean the money was sloshed around to 401k and pension funds?

At this point, I believe the LLM "style" is on purpose. Perhaps the labs want to be able to distinguish their slop from human content for future training; I don't know. But it feels very deliberate that they've kept the

Yeah, I get it, they do suck. It all sucks. But people at work who are copying responses from LLMs into emails to others also suck, and I want to distance myself from them as much as possible. I'm kinda hoping we will eventually have a

Nah, I’ve started noticing people doing this replacement automatically in LLM output. I just try not to write with dashes anymore.

by rogerrogerr 4mo ago
And both numbers, plus your name and address and a convenient sample of your signature, are on every check you’ve ever written.

by rogerrogerr 4mo ago
I used to be an em-dash user, but now my opinion is that I’d rather be perceived as someone who does not want to be confused with an LLM. So I’ve changed my writing style.
