With that argument, Germany also has "full control" over those machines, as the optics are a "very important component" manufactured by Zeiss.

How does controlling one component give them control over the whole machine?

Depends on your definition of "tech", see e.g. Airbus.

This seems to be common practice at Airbus.

I recently did a public tour of one of Airbus' major assembly lines. I remember the tour guide telling us, that their customers (the airlines) either have their own QA people on the line when their planes get assembled, or pay another company to do it for them.

Hard disagree.

I spent a very significant amount of my waking time working. This is one of the best opportunities to make friends, and IMHO it's also nicer to work with friends than with non-friends.

Most of the friends I made as an adult came from a work related setting.

At least in Germany, the UK, and Spain it's not (only) contractors, but Airbus itself. IIRC there are around 50k employees in Germany and France each, 13k in Spain and the UK each.

Maintenance is probably an even bigger issue than crew.

I would have said there is no problem with your style (nothing brash/abrasive), but you used a lot of jargon, that people who are not very deep into LLMs (large language models) would not understand. Interests of hackernews visitors are very diverse, not everyone follows LLMs that closely.

I haven't read a lot of LLM papers, but I believe this is a rather weak paper low on details (note: not the results achieved of the LLM, but the paper itself). If it had landed on my desk for a review, I probably would have sent it back just based on that.

For example, they never really say how they trained the experts or which dataset they used.

Is this the current standard in the field?

But unlikely to be the plane's fault.

Is there any evidence that churning out cringy linkedin posts leads to increased revenue or any other tangible benefits for a startup?

Most employees are part of the public health insurance system in Germany. People who are not employees and people with an income above a certain threshold can (or sometimes must) choose a private health insurance.

RAG seems to be Retrieval Augmented Generation

It's not "just" him. Just (yes, just) because you know some people who wear their headphones all day, doesn't make it the standard.

Lots of people (including me) don't like to wear headphones all day.

For people not in HR (human resources): ATS seems to be short for applicant tracking system.

I'd love for this to be able to use something like s3 as a backend and (tax) audit prove archiving.

Alternatively, users can just stay at the python version they wrote the code for.

Same here in Hamburg, Germany. Most offices are rented, it was hard to an office of the size we wanted, there was exactly one available in four locations.

Even their EBITDA is negative, so debt is not the (only) issue. Perhaps they have locked themselves into long-term overpriced rental agreements?

That is a horrible font to read anything more than a headline.

At least for people who like to come to the office (like me), this is even worse than working from home.

You still spend lots of times in meetings in front of your computer, can't take those meetings in person, often can't solve quick issues on the way to lunch, and can't socialize with the people you are working with (which leads to getting to know people much quicker which IMHO makes working with people a lot easier).

I don't think the hn title (which I realize is from the link) is very helpful. Better would be the about from github: TMSU lets you tags your files and then access them through a nifty virtual filesystem from any other application.

Could be shortened to "TMSU: tag files and access them through a virtual filesystem from other apps".

What does using a Mac have to do with the article?

I would presume they are doing it on purpose, so that industry doesn't optimize for their tests when they develop their next product.

It feels strange to call it in "Initial Public Offering" when the company used to be public ten years ago.

IIRC, they do not comply with the GPL of software they ship, or have they changed their stance on this?

There is an already pretty old (2013) study from Fraunhofer, which shows how 100% renewable energy in electric power and heating is possible in the medium term future (2050). Their ideas for storage are battery storage (52Gwh), pumped storage (60Gwh) and methane storage (86Twh) on the electric side.

This one by T.R. Reid? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/543704.The_Chip

I had to look this up: the Northwest Territories are a part of Canada. It's only mentioned about half way through the article.

Don't think about it as a way of "shortcuts", but as a language of sorts. Yes, it will take some time to learn.

While I'm a heavy vim user myself, I'm not sure if it really makes me more productive. But it is more fun to me than, e.g. working with VS Code.

To stay in your metaphor: I'm saying I see long queues at all lemonade stands and lots of sold lemonade in my area. This perception doesn't fit with the lemonade business's (WeWork's) EBITDA being negative.

The value of assets (which I doubt WeWork has a lot to begin with, I would assume they rent as well) and the amount of debt doesn't factor in there.
