What's the job title and education requirements for designing the supply chain and engineering of the ikea furniture?

I don't know, I don't work at IKEA. Sorry.

The fidelity and encoding strength of the "idea" you got the gist of from skimming might be less than the "idea" you receive when you spend the time to watch the 54 minute video

How far can a mind expand? Like is there really anything new?

Have you seen hamilton/burr python packages for building the state machines for llm work?

I woke up and had a thought the software engineering isn't a serious engineering field if they actually fully shipped llms and expect everyone to use them. What do you expect quality wise from a profession that says that this is okay?

Imagine if normal engineering did that. Engineers invent a "blobby" thing that glues things together. It has amazing properties that increase productivity but sometimes it just stops working for some reason and comes off. It's totally random and because of how blobby is produced there is no way to tell when it's going to work or not, contrary to the typical material. Anyway we're going to use blobby to build everything from schools, to bridges, to airplanes now.

And, don't forget, software makes its way into airplanes a medical equipment and such, and has directly killed people. Therac and Boeing come to mind.

I'm starting to be in favor of professional licensing for software engineering.


How is it not? Respect and how youre trying to influence someone to behave is exerting power. Telling someone how they should exert their power is political.

What process / path do you take to get to such an enlightened state? Like books or experience or anything more about this please?

Bachelors in electrical engineering, masters in math; elastic structures applied to modeling electrical systems.

Started career in late 90s designing boards for telecom companies network backbones.


I heard 3 people have more wealth than the bottom 50% globally. Wtf is the point

Evidently not when you cite one anecdotal counter example and over generalize?


(That's not the same commenter.)


Would be funny if it was... I would have thought making an anonymous throwaway account after posting from a 'real' account would be a 'too late' situation, but the plausible deniability here shows otherwise where the original content was not imbued with objectionable etiquette.

If religion provides rules for behavior that is inherently political. Welcome to the game
