omgJustTest commented on I'm a Tech Lead, and nobody listens to me. What should I do?   world.hey.com/joaoqalves/... · Posted by u/joaoqalves

"I'm a tech lead, nobody listens"...

1. Listen to what other people say and what they think the problem is, or what the problem "says".

2. Think, ask questions to clarify and repeat step 1. Is the problem actually technical? branch a. otherwise branch b.

a. have you considered the problem is mostly not technical? then proceed to branch b.

b. what miscommunications are keeping the solution from being implemented?

3. Change minds with the words that are convincing to others. Dont be so convinced of your solution that you wouldnt take a better one, return to step 1 unless the problem is "solved"

My blog would be uncompellingly short.

Unless I misunderstand your question, isn’t the obvious answer just short-term profit?

No investor has thus far invested something they can’t yet cash out.

If there's no better growth story probably people have already trimmed for short term gains.

In some ways the technology companies, which such large growth, are their own consumers.

Unless they feel pressure from another growth story or a technical monetary effect, and I emphasize story because its about future returns, its unlikely.

Additionally this has grown so quickly that there is amazing talent being applied to these problems, its hard to imagine every good person has been sufficiently compensated that progress will stall.

If there wasn't an ongoing de facto recession, I would wager that the overvaluation of companies _would_ be at or near dot-com bubble levels. These AI companies have plenty of venture capital, but consumers are probably not as influential as they were back then. I agree we likely won't see a dotcom-like crash, but there will still be fallout that will take months to settle.

IMO what you are describing is distributed choice vs concentrated choice.

It's one of my main arguments against a crash: why would one (1) or a few choose to do that?

omgJustTest commented on Kroger acknowledges that its bet on robotics went too far   grocerydive.com/news/krog... · Posted by u/JumpCrisscross
omgJustTest · 11 days ago
3 CFCs (robotics centers) closed, 5 continuing operating [1]. Initial commitment was 20 & Kroger is paying 350m$ to compensate the partner.

I don't know what success looks like but it's probably fair to say they were over-extended by roughly 30-40%.

Can someone explain why we measure these datacenters in Gigawatts rather than something that actually measures compute like flops or whatever the AI equivalent of flops is?

To put it another way, I don't know anything but I could probably make a '1 GW' datacenter with a single 6502 and a giant bank of resistors.

Measurement in unit of power because this is the ultimate use-cost, assuming scaling in compute efficiencies, capex costs, etc.

I work for one of the largest packaging companies in the world. Customers across the board in the US are cutting back on how much packaging they need due to presumably lower sales volume. Make of that information what you will.
omgJustTest · 2 months ago
tariffs could be an explanation.

sometimes volume and total $ are not the same.

omgJustTest commented on Cikande Industrial Region is now access restricted due to radiation   en.antaranews.com/news/38... · Posted by u/omgJustTest
omgJustTest · 2 months ago
The Cikande site shipped radioactive shrimp which were detected at US ports. Cikande is an industrial region in Indonesia. The source of the radiation is believed to be a local metal smelter that apparently ingested Cs137 sources from scrap. The area is now under access control due to radiation risk.

Fields up to 1mSv/hr have been detected and signs placed at >0.5mSv/hr locations inside the region[0].

omgJustTest commented on FCC Accidentally Leaked iPhone Schematics   engadget.com/big-tech/fcc... · Posted by u/mikhael

This is much less of a deal than it might appear. It also isn't an accidental victory for the right-to-repair.

The schematics are basically "here's a black-box SoC and here are the data lines connecting it to a black-box camera module". The magic of the iPhone are the black-box chips and their firmware, not the traces on the PCB.

About the most useful thing you're getting out of this are capacitor values, which are easy to measure either way.

Things used to be different 2-3 decades ago, but nowadays, most commodity PCBs are exceptionally boring - it's mostly just digital signal routing and some power-related stuff.

omgJustTest · 3 months ago
It is valid to say they do not have the majority of trade-secrets in the schematics.

However having high quality documentation that is easily accessible is always the first step, and if there are information there that are important it is _much_ more likely it will be known.

It is not "a much less of a deal" as you say, it is a pretty big deal for a global product that billions of people touch.

omgJustTest commented on First 'perovskite camera' can see inside the human body   news.northwestern.edu/sto... · Posted by u/geox
omgJustTest · 3 months ago
Perovskites are research materials being researched.

Images produced from SPECT cameras have been around for a while. [2]

This is potentially a 16 pixel "camera" which the "image" is a gaussian blob (Figure 1e and 5e) [1].

This is interesting for a variety of reasons but is way overblown in the "camera" or "image" context. It's demonstration that one can make pixelated devices (4x4) of a specific kind of promising material.
