Already in orbit is OTP-2, which has 2 novel drive systems, one based on non-Newtonian thrusters, and the other based on an ION drive.[1]

Edit: The latter is "Fusion enhanced"[3]

The company’s the FireStar Drive uses is a water-fueled pulsed plasma thruster that uses a form of aneutronic nuclear fusion to boost its performance.

I watch the orbital observations closely to see if any altitude is being gained.[2] This is their second satellite in orbit, the first one had high voltage power supply issues so they never got to try the thruster.

Nah, its okay. I too think beautiful is used too often in contexts where it feels exaggerated. Nature can be beautiful. People can be beautiful. But a blue and grey computer diagram? It certainly looks good to me but I would not use the word beautiful. Perhaps if it were exceptionally artistic using a unique aesthetic I would use that word. But that's just like, my opinion, man.

They didn't mean it as a pun, but understanding it as a pun helps understand the situation.

In religions, missionaries are those people who spread the word of god (gospel) as their mission in life for a reward in the afterlife. Obviously, mercenaries are paid armies who are in it for the money and any other spoils of war (sex, goods, landholdings, etc.)

So I guess he's trying to frame it as them being missionaries for an Open and accepting and free Artificial Intelligence and framing Meta as the guys who are only in it for the money and other less savory reasons. Obviously, only true disciples would believe such framing.

It's been very very throughly research, in fact my father was a (non-famous, Michigan U, 60s era) researcher on this. Recommended reading: Damasio, A. R. (1994), Lazarus, R. S. (1991), LeDoux, J. E. (1996).

Why do I think it's appropriate, not to be rude but I'm surprised that isn't self evident. As we seek to create understanding machines and systems capable of what we ourselves can do, understanding how the interplay works in the context of artificial intelligence will help build a wider picture and that additional view may influence how we put together things like more empathetic robots, or anything driven by synthetic understanding.

AI researchers are indeed aiming to build effective reasoners first and foremost, but effective reasoning itself is deeply intertwined with emotional and affective processes, as demonstrated by decades of neuroscience research... Reasoning doesn’t occur in isolation...human intelligence isn't some purely abstract, disembodied logic engine. The research I provided shows it's influenced by affective states and emotional frameworks. Understanding these interactions should show new paths toward richer more flexible artificial understanding engines, obvs this doesn't mean immediately chasing qualia or feelings for their own sake, it's just important to recognize that human reasoning emerges from an integrated cognitive/emotional subsystems.

Surly ignoring decades of evidence on how emotional context shapes human reasoning limits our vision, narrowing the scope of what AI could ultimately achieve?

Exactly! The Microsoft-OpenAI agreement states that AGI is whatever makes them 100 billion in profits. Nothing in there about anything intelligence related.

>The two companies reportedly signed an agreement last year stating OpenAI has only achieved AGI when it develops AI systems that can generate at least $100 billion in profits.

It is almost certain that none of these bills represent wasted money. The piece of paper and the money are not identically the same thing. The paper is a document that is made to represent the money. At some point, the document is made to cease to represent the money. The Federal Reserve routinely acquires and destroys old worn bills, replacing them with freshly printed ones. This, by the way, has little or nothing to do with "how much money exists".

Not really like React at all (and certainly not React Router). Not sure how you made that connection...

The component method in the framework is inspired by React v1 (really just that it's a function you call—my approach to everything else is different), but all of the routing is on the server-side (a light abstraction that maps back to Express.js routes).

I'm a popular science writer with eight year's experience doing exactly this (SciShow, Crash Course, Veritasium and recent winner of the Wellcome Collection Non Fiction Awards) without AI. Done right, the right coverage of even a pre-print reached hundreds of thousands/millions of people. But I've experimented with every SOTA model since 2022 with the most detailed and specific prompting I can think of (including multiple examples of transcripts of work already in the public domain) to see if it can replicate good quality science communication.

The content is usually reasonably strong but the tone is always off and it never quite understands what it is a reader/viewer needs to really get to grips with the topic if they don't already have a prior foundational understanding (though I notice this about a lot of other media outlets with professional science communicators too). It also has poor editorial thinking around what bits are most likely to be interesting and cohesive when considered as part of the whole piece.

But I'm still reasonably convinced as AI improves it ought to be able to replace me with the right workflow/context/prompting. I think there will always be a demand for my (and many other writers') talents as they are so it doesn't really bother me, but it'd be great to extend the work to all the many scientific discoveries that don't get the same attention. If anyone is serious about developing something like this, I'd be interested in partnering with them as someone with domain expertise on science communication and familiar with prompt engineering (email in bio).

In first order predicate logic with an n-ary relation, attributes are columns and tuples are rows aka a table and what Codd used to justify it.

The typical normalization let's say in a star schema is viewable as a least fixed point. FO+LFP=P

It is similar to what Codd called adjacency lists, which luckily died in the 80s, because they conflicted with real adjacency lists. recursive CTEs add transitive closure, which when added to FO gets you to L or NL, I forget which .

Still it doesn't matter, the relational part of the relational model is attributes or column names...it is equivalent.

Opened it up, first thing I do is set it to dark because every other HN app runs on dark — immediately prompts me to upgrade and pay. Sorry, but making money by not being annoying is such an old-school way to try and make a buck. Totally understand it can't be free, but then let people pay for things that make your app stand out — not the ability to "let the dark mode toggle stay put", I mean...

Getting tokens on screen has not been the bottleneck for me in a long time. Knowing what to build and how to evolve an application from the current state into a future state, while keeping it short term, medium term, and long term coherent, is the bottleneck.

Until the AI can take the prompt: "Improve the product so that it will generate more sales, satisfy the government, and not piss off existing users", it is not going to replace me. For every task less than that, it does marginally improve my workflow.

For any programmers out there who are so untalented that they barely exist as more than a human token generator, they are indeed at risk.

> That StackOverflow question seems unrelated because it's asking about untagged template literals.

The first answer reinvents tagged templates and the second suggests them. I thought it was a good example to show the complexity of hacking in this approach. I'll add more context in the future.

I'm agreed that the average developer would hate working with an an AST -- JSX covers 99.9% use-case and React codebases are full of functional programming escape hatches -- but it is the foundation. An HAST is an interoperable, extendable representation we can move between any framework or tooling.

I'm likely projecting too much on the proposal. Templating is the top priority but it's the ancillary bits you mention that excite me most.

> Markup-based templates look like the output

I made the mistake of drinking functional programming laced koolaid, so in my mind they really do translate well, but I respect that you have a broader perspective.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm a smidge honored that you'd even review my feedback!

> Or, you know, DO put offices in dense city cores

And then what? How do you get there?

Your time budget is 30 minutes (the average commute in the US). Go on, try to play around.

> that or telecommute

Yes. But if you telecommute, then why bother with all those trains and dense offices?

> And, a lot more stations are within say a 15 minute reach if you use a bike O:-)

That's already too much for commutes and will result in commutes inferior to the current status quo in the US.

Generally the sort of lightweight reactors NASA is looking at for space power use highly enriched uranium. U234 isn't particularly radioactive (it's lasted since the Earth was formed) and far less toxic than the hydrazine propellant our ships carry but it's a significant proliferation risk if it should all into the wrong hands.

But yeah, it's not dangerous like the P238 in a radioisotope thermal generator (RTG). To put off enough heat to power a spacecraft just through natural decay you need something ferociously radioactive.

Many years ago, my daughter (maybe six at the time), lost something semi-important to her, I don't recall what. I think it might have been her username / pictorial password card for her school network account. Anyway, we were looking for it, and she said "Dad, dad, I don't know where it is, I feel like I'm going to say a bad word".

I, having just read an article like this, said "That's ok, sometimes saying a bad word can help you process your emotions and feel less stressed. Do you want to go down to the basement where nobody can hear you, and say the bad word?"

"Yes". She goes down the stairs, I close the door, and she yells at the top of her lungs: "I can't fucking find it!". I managed not to laugh, she comes back up, "Do you feel better?" "Yes." Great moments in parenting. :-) (We did eventually find whatever it was.)

Let me summarize why Apple’s iOS is not even in the same planet as Valve’s Steam:

Apple sells a device (iPhone) whose OS it controls (iOS) that is so ubiquitous to the point where most businesses cannot afford to not have a presence on this OS/platform.

But in order to have a presence, businesses must list their app on the App Store. There is no other natively supported mechanism available to allow your users to interact with your business. And absolutely no sideloading is allowed. Apple charges businesses a 30% tax to use the App Store.

The cherry on top is that you as a business are also completely disallowed from accepting payment that doesn’t adhere to this tax. Not just that, but even indirectly linking to such payment mechanisms from within your app is disallowed.

Not going to engage any further here because I have made my points.

Seems like there'd be an opportunity for open source tooling here. Context visualized, summarizers, explorers, A/B testers, etc. Also LLM pre-caching of context summaries since IIUC any context change requires full N^2 recalculation of everything so adds a ton of latency and cost. And some optimizers since the previous N is actually (N-M) where M is the the first 0..M context tokens that were unchanged by your update. Though generally you probably want to summarize more of the beginning of the context, so M is likely small in most cases.

Anyway, seems like most of these algorithms are fairly ad hoc things built into all the various agents themselves these days, and not something that exist in their own right. Seems like an opportunity to make this it's own ecosystem, where context tools can be swapped and used independently of the agents that use them, similar to the LLMs themselves.

On the other hand, due to the provenance of the cube, the whole thing would sell for a lot more than $1 million.

Jack Binion's sister, Becky Behnen, famously sold million-dollar display of one hundred $10,000 bills in '99 for (a rumored) $4 million to the currency dealer Jay Parrino.

(Supposedly) one of those $10,000 bills was posted on eBay for $160,000.
