It is also false that they desire peaceful reunification. The same source shows only 11% want to become part of China.
So the insistence you refer to is consistent with the will of the people of Taiwan.
No one in the Taiwanese government talks about claims to mainland PRC territory. Denouncing these previously made claims it would be a de facto (maybe even de jure?) move to independence and result in who knows what.
but i think the hard part is making a machine with the tactility of a human.
They do have measures of "nuclear fuel" remaining, but it lasts about 30 years (at least in the American boats) so generally doesn't impact day-to-day considerations.
Rickover believed in that AND demanded technical excellence from all of the operators. Nowadays, it seems like we automate things so that we don’t have to train technical excellence.
Rickover believed that automated systems will fail in unpredictable ways, leaving the human operators as the last line of defense. The people in the organization need to understand how -everything- works so that they can respond to these failures.
But modern orgs want to automate the things so that they can cut costs. Not Rickoverian.
But Rickover is the most underrated product & engineering leader, ever. So my entering assumption is that it’s worth any engineer’s time.
it's not rude. it's ultra-convenient; you don't have to wait on service. i will continue to scan.
15 years later I joined a marketplace startup that was doing 10,000 transactions a day.
Built as a PHP monolith.
I was sooooo confused at first. “PHP??? That strange language I used to host a forum is powering this app??”
Turns out the founding engineer was self-taught and PHP had the most tutorials or something lol
But some people get worked up about how the OG Starbuck was a hard-drinking, hard-partying man but the 2004 Starbuck was a hard-drinking, hard-partying woman lmao
Or are you quitting to start something?
It's just such a poor product. I'm biased towards being pro-AI lawyer, but there's no reason to think that an app that can't execute the basics will push the technological frontier of the legal field.
This repo trains a model--how would I prompt it and print the generated output?
Maybe Karpathy's approach will speak to me more--thanks for the recommendation!
The Navy's new performance review software, first launched in 2021 to replace a product from 1998, is still too buggy and won't be fully implemented until 2023 lol
But they choose not to pursue because of reputational/brand damage. It’s a shame!
Advertising can be a sustainable business model. Radio, television, billboards, etc. sustain themselves through advertising. We can quibble about their growth rates, but if advertising were unsustainable, then these industries wouldn't exist in their current form.
I think you're actually rejecting the idea that a company can sustain infinite growth through advertising. I think that's a little different from being wholly "unsustainable."
