You don't fancy Cyanide Custard? Radioactive Slime Jello made with actual radioactive waste? Sweet Tooth Delight made with real human teeth? Or a few other desserts with NSFW names that would go down a treat for a family dinner. It is hard to please some people /s.
But yes, websites will now be filled with these low-quality recipes, and some might be outright dangerous. Cyanide custard should ring alarm bells, but using the wrong type of mushroom is equally dangerous and much more challenging to spot.
The problem isn't that Boeing is less safe; it is that the company's culture shifted to the extent that technical staff could no longer report perceived safety issues.
It is part of the regular economic cycle. Most companies try to do more with less, like in any downturn. This cycle is different, as senior management now has AI to justify hiring fewer knowledge workers. Things will turn around eventually when the AI bubble bursts. Companies will then scramble for graduates who have likely moved to work in different industries and complain about a talent shortage.
> senior management now has AI to justify hiring fewer knowledge workers
Justify to whom? Shareholders just care about metrics like earnings and revenue. If they don't need workers to optimize this metrics, they have right to hire fewer workers.
The number of employees you hire is seen as a proxy for growth and future earnings and revenue. With AI the argument is that you can grow with less staff.
Mercedes has gained approval to test Level 4 autonomous driving. Level 4 is considered fully autonomous driving, although the vehicle retains a traditional cockpit, and the driver can request control at any time. If a Level 4 system fails or cannot proceed, it is required to pull the vehicle over and bring it to a complete stop under its own control.
I would argue that it is getting very close to what people think autopilot can do. A car that, under certain circumstances, can drive for you and doesn't kill you if you don't pay constant attention.
The one which needs a leading vehicle to follow below 40mph on some stretches of freeways? Try to look up videos of it from owners that are not press or mercedes reps.
> Raising the bar in autonomous driving technology, Mercedes-Benz is the first automobile manufacturer in the US to achieve a Level 3 certification based on a 0-5 scale from the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Under specific conditions, our technology allows drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel, eyes off the road — and take in their surroundings
(Specific conditions being the lead car and speed limits you noted, but that’s not what the person you’re replying to is talking about)
Additionally to their level 3 system, they’ve been granted permission to test Level 4 systems not for public use/availability, on a prototype vehicle:
Not sure about other countries but in Germany L4 is only active on freeways up to certain speeds. The video you linked is not showing this. At least the parts where I skipped through.
Then those same humans won't be able to reason about code, or the problem spaces they're working in, regardless, since it's all fundamentally about precise specifics.
Languages used for day to day communication between humans do not have the specificity needed for detailed instructions... even to other humans. We out of band context (body language, social norms, tradition, knowledge of a person) quite a bit more than you would think.
Programming languages, which are human language, are purpose built for this. Anyone working in the domain of precise specifications uses them, or something very similar (for example, engineering, writing contracts, etc), often daily. ;)
They all usually build down to a subset of english, because near caveman speak is enough to define things with precision.
Yes, let's devise a more precise way to give AI instructions. Let's call it pAIthon. This will allow powers that be, like Zuckerberg to save face and claim that AI has replaced mid-level developers and enable developers to rebrand themselves as pAIthon programmers.
Joking aside, this is likely where we will end up, just with a slightly higher programming interface, making developers more productive.
Fivetran works perfectly fine for syncing Postgres databases into Snowflake. My company syncs dozens of them without problems. I can only assume their Postgres database has a non standard set up.
Yeah, if you have 1 million dollars to spend every time you run a data migration or anything else that touches many rows.
I've seen some new libraries crop up for writing your own replication slot clients. I wouldn't use fivetran for PG.
Either you have a lot of data and fivetran will be too expensive or you don't, and you're better off just using a postgres OLAP plugin/extension.
Maybe it was because it was in beta, but I had a nightmare of a time with fivetrans API trying to coordinate connectors and destinations and git access.
This analysis is too simple. Roads need to be maintained, road accidents are a burden on the national health service and air pollution has a long term negative impact on people's health
Software can work for a very long time with minimal maintenance. A different question is if it can keep making revenue without investing.
Quality content has disappeared on Twitter and there is a proliferation of Only Fans tweets. However if you love Musk and right wing conspiracies it is still a fine platform to use.
