Tools? Yes. Reliable foundations? Eh, mostly not. Maybe I'm holding it wrong, but I'm not impressed. Not in the least because in order to get a good system you must have a good image of the system in your head. And if AI builds the system, how will you ever get that system in your head?

How would you do it if you hired an employee in your company to do it? You'd talk to the employee and read the docs they write. Same here.

When an employee writes a system, the employee owns the system. When an AI writes a system for you, YOU own the system.

Owns? What a strange word to use. I doubt they own it in the sense that the profits of it go to their bank account. Use a better word and things will be clearer.

Yes, owns. Ownership as in accountability, stewardship and care. But I think you already got this from my post and if we're fighting about semantics, there's no constructive discussion to be had.

Accountability - yes, you can fire a human. But you can also fire the AI, by switching to a different model or switching back to manual coding. The rest just depends on having a strong enough model.

Would you say... You have arrived at a compromise? Ba-dum-tshh!

Ohohoho. I'd say this is actually an example of a third thing, where it turns out that you didn't even disagree, except in choice of words.

Does not your entire comment rely on a very particular ("original") definition of the word compromise — so, uhm, on "choice of words"?

You're saying that a definition of compromise as "concessions on both sides" is strange and original, really? Did you understand the word compromise to mean a process to which creativity is crucial, and not concessions? I'd be very surprised (and pleased) if that was how you understood the word already. It's not how it's portrayed in the article.

I would say that creativity is crucial to a good, working compromise. You do not need much creativity for a bad one (it sounds like you are focusing on that type of compromise).

I am not saying that the "original" definition of "concessions on both sides" is strange at all though — merely that this was the original (first) meaning of the word, but that it is today used for both indicating a successful idea that meets multiple goals when they are re-evaluated by their spirit, and a set of concessions that meet some but not all of the original goals or their spirit.


> where it turns out that you didn't even disagree

It's really strange how some people unconsciously try to push the idea that the only possible and acceptable feedback comes from those that only reinforce your own personal opinions. Not even Jesus was this sure about himself.


Yes, but that is a different kind of improvement compared to note king during a lecture as an adult. I think hadriting ability is important, I just don't think note taking dutin a lecture is useful in any way.

Certain kinds of writing is thinking, but you're not writing in the thinking way, you're transcribing.

Or... Hear me out... Don't take notes at all. I'm sure I can find supporting material that is just much better than my paltry notes. I find that for me, it detracts from engaging with the material. I just much better prefer to listen and engage and think what is being said.

I only take notes if I am trying to work out some of the things said or as support for this or that or maybe 2 really interesting lines or quips I want to remember just so later and I find particularly surprising or interesting (or mistaken, hah).

When solving math problems, yes, by all means take notes! I find writing with a pen indispensable because it's much more flexible and expressive. And i need the memory caching that writing provides.


This scenario is pretty similar to the Azolla event:

Where "event" in this case is something that happened over an 800 000 years interval.


> the resulting draw-down of carbon dioxide has been speculated to have helped reverse the planet from the "greenhouse Earth" state of the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, when the planet was hot enough for turtles and palm trees to prosper at the poles, to the current icehouse Earth known as the Late Cenozoic Ice Age.

Time to buy a condo in the Greater McMurdo area?


> don’t have anything like the verification and documentation processes that are mandated by DO-178

ISO 26262? Not sure how the enforcement looks, but automotive is pretty serious about ISO 26262.

Still, the infotainment is most likely QM so it wouldn't apply in this specific situation.


ISO 26262 does have serious lifecycle standards but again it’s a voluntary industry standard that has no government oversight or regulatory authority. Oversight is typically largely internal and is strongest in the auto parts/components market. It’s largely toothless to automakers/integrators and again the likes of Tesla simply don’t use it and have no obligation to.

The infotainment system itself may be QM but there has to be assurance that it is in fact separated from higher safety level system.


> it’s a voluntary industry standard that has no government oversight or regulatory authority.

Yes, hence why I said I'm not sure about enforcement mechanisms how they stack up against the aviation standard. Still, in my limited experience, projects that are ASIL x take the thing pretty seriously and they do get certifications from external bodies. Actually, I am supporting an SEooC external certification right now.

> The infotainment system itself may be QM but there has to be assurance that it is in fact separated from higher safety level system.

The separation most likely happens _outside_ the infotainment itself, through a gateway.


They make many many many more things than just powertools. They have ebike motors, home appliances, industrial machinery, chips (they have a very good division for MEMS as far as I can tell, they make high quality IMU's, they are super popular for airbag usage), protocols (the CAN bus is BOSCH IP and you pay 1 cent royalty I think for each MCU's with CAN on them), automotive components.

I'm waiting for a Bosch dishwasher to be delivered today. Supposedly it's one of the best.

I hope you have a good experience with it. I had a Bosch dishwasher in my old house for some time until a failure, and it was so absurdly quiet that the little light it projects on the floor when running was truly valuable. It cleaned well and was all around pretty great until it gave up the ghost. Unfortunately when I went shopping last year for new appliances I found out that Bosch now requires you to use their app and connect your dishwasher to WiFi to do very basic things like use Eco Mode. One assertion I will stand by to my grave is that a dishwasher has no fucking business being connected to the Internet.

I opted instead for GE Cafe / Profile appliance everywhere, which are fully usable without the app. None of my appliances have ever or will ever be connected to any network. The GE Cafe dishwasher also has a built in grinder/disposal unit which helps it deal with heavily soiled dishes much better as well as a bonus, and a fully stainless tub.

Best of luck with your new dishwasher, the Bosch units are legitimately very quiet and powerful for cleaning (I believe they're still the quietest by at least 2db on the market, and every 3db is a doubling of sound power and intensity since its a logarithmic scale).


>every 3db is a doubling of sound power and intensity since its a logarithmic scale

This is true, but the ear measures sound pressure, not sound intensity. Sound pressure requires a 6dB increase to double. See:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power,_root-power,_and_field_q...

And human perception of loudness is also non-linear. The increase necessary for a perceived doubling in loudness is frequency dependent, but at most frequencies it's higher than 6dB. At 1 KHz you need roughly 10dB increase for a perceived doubling. See:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sone


The local consumer-affairs magazine that every country has (e.g. Which? in the UK) publishes yearly rankings of large appliances, washing machines, fridges, that sort of thing. The category washing machines and dishwashers are predictable, every single year all of the top-rated appliances are always Miele and Bosch (I think a Samsung may have crept in one year). They really need to introduce a new ranking just for these product lines, "top-ranked devices other than Miele or Bosch".

I thought the same too and I think it's horrible. It can neither be too loaded or too empty, the door doesn't stay cracked open after it dries so I have to prop it slightly open and the placement on tines on the drawers are poor and often too small. It'll probably last forever so I'll have no reason to replace it. In my last home my cheap Kitchenaid was great, I suppose I could swap them. I suppose the floor light is nice.

> the door doesn't stay cracked open

Whoever installed your device didn't properly adjust tension springs that keep the door open. You can do it by yourself with user's manual (that can be downloaded.)


On the flip side, I've been using them for years with no issues. I jam pack them full of filthy dishes and they come out perfectly clean every time. I use high quality detergent, rinse aid, keep the filter clean, and regularly run dishwasher cleaner through it. I wouldn't have any other brand.

Our kitchen remodel included a Bosch dishwasher - it’s silent and always clean. Glad we made the splurge! Enjoy!

Real time control can be like that as long as the computing parts are clearly bound within your performance requirement.

Falcon rockets, starlink, Tesla. They all pushed the envelope in their field. Are the stocks overpriced? Yes. Did they do impressive technical work? Also yes. They might get surpassed by competitors, but that is to be expected for all companies. But they clearly did something special there. And I deff am no Musk fanboy, but you have to give him the credit for establishing those systems.

I think the fact that China is copying SpaceX's tech is a testament to SpaceX's success

There's also the bit about people talking shit about other people they're not even close to, to feel like they matter. Ahh well

Hey guys Elon Musk sucks haha high fives all around, great
