People need to understand this in context of rocket engine production.

For comparison, Blue Origin has sold the BE-4 to ULA many years ago. The are testing 2 qualification engines, they have 2 engines in production that hopefully will finish sometimes in a the next few months. We don't know how many are in production beyond that but likely not all that many. These engines will still cost around 7 million $ per engine.

That is a more normal production rate, one engine in a cycle of months or even slower.

SpaceX just for the test campaign alone is already on SN-100+. Most engines are never even produced in such numbers. SpaceX already has quite high production rates relatively to what would be considered normal.

What SpaceX is attempting to do here with the Raptor, and mass producing them in a cycle of a single day is something that has never been even approximated by anybody. This is not a relatively simple engine like to Soviets use for Sozus. This is one of the most complex and most powerful engines ever built.

SpaceX has some experience as the Merlin is already one of the most mass-produced engines, but its simpler and they never attempted to push the production quite to where they want the Raptor to be at.

He is here still talking about the Raptor built in Hawthorne, they are building a new factory to reach the daily rate in Texas: https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2021/09/raptor-factor-testin...

What I also think is that some people might misunderstand is that this is not about producing a functioning engine, this seems to be really about how fast they manage to do it.

Fans are trying to track these kinds of things:

Edit:

For something totally different, the biggest issue with launching Starship 2x per week is that they literally have no place to do that from. Even if the get approval in Boca, that's for 12 launches a year. Getting more then that might not be very easy.

The launch platforms from the ocean will likely not be ready.

The might be able to launch more from the Cape, but that is also quite contested. And they would have to duplicate the mechazilla launch infrastructure there as well.

I really hope the planning they are doing are not that tight. I can see how mass production of Starlink Sats could really bad a very tough cash burn if you can't launch them.

All that said I don't think its like SpaceX will fail anytime soon.

Edit 2:

SpaceX e-mails usually are not leaked so seeing this is quite surprising. I hope this is not a fake. It seem like it makes sense.
Sincerely: I’d love to hear an example of that.

The reason for my skepticism: The state of the art language pronunciation from the best this planet has to offer still requires a full phoneme library recorded in studio conditions. A voice sample taken from a user’s instagram page doesn’t seem like the kind of source material that would be useful to make convincing speech.

> the TI994a had somewhat of a video buffer

The TI 99 had some interesting design choices. The CPU had a very small amount of SRAM, 128 bytes IIRC, because it couldn't easily use DRAMs, which were much cheaper. The BASIC interpreter in ROM would read the program from the VDP's memory (which was DRAM) and interpret it, storing data back into the display controller's memory. It was a really nice 16-bit minicomputer CPU with one of the ugliest hacks around it to make it fit a home computer budget. Legend says IBM almost settled on the TI99's CPU instead of the 8088 for the IBM PC (they also mused about plain acquiring Atari) but didn't go for it because TI would be the single source for the component.

The same VDP would be the basis of the MSX, Master System and a couple others.

The benefits of immutability are still there though. You should generally design immutable by default and use mutability for performance where it matters.

Rust which was used here also has immutability by default and mutability is an explicit opt-in.
To be completely honest I don't understand the appeal of Squid Game. It's a very thin metaphor around super shocking imagery --- and don't get me wrong, although it's not my thing, I can understand people liking slasher movies and the like, but I don't understand why this discourse that Squid Game is very deep (and anything other than cheap gore horror) became so popular.

I have the BBC tv series on laserdisc, perhaps not as good as the radio show but a great artifact anyway. You've reminded me to track down the radio serial.
Not only is the video quality awful, unless you're watching on a controlled device like and ipad or a TV with netflix included, the video and audio are also slightly out of sync.

Another reason to own media is that companies like netflix can't change the playback experience. There's already annoying "skip intro" buttons, ads on the end credits and age and strobe warnings whenever you touch the pause button.

These annoyances have the tendency to creep in and I would not be surprised if at some point they include unskippable ads and a permanent Netflix logo in one of the corners. Disney, who are the worst offernders here, already displays a Disney+ logo for the first and last 15 seoonds. Once the bluray and DVD market has died, streaming companies may get a lot braver with this kind of stuff. (Remember when you could watch TV without a channel logo and banners advertising other shows?)

Oh and then there's the SJW patrol that gets streaming services to alter or cancel episodes of shows.

So there's really a good argument for buying the stuff you really like and owning a copy.

IYI(s) (as coined by N. Taleb) at work here. A sample of this manipulative hog-wash mix of politics-foreign-affairs-socialism-scientism (a model of reality) opinion:

"Researchers found that a global temperature target can be met while also increasing wellbeing, reducing inequality and alleviating poverty, if each country or region imposes a substantial carbon tax and refunds the revenues to its citizens on an equal per capita basis."

Simply 'wow' for the low point that academics are nowadays not afraid to scoop, talking about something they have no way of even to begin conceiving in its complexity, let alone derive principles of action. This is manipulative pandering dressed in science language, aim to conceal rather to reveal - it is depressing to see this in a science journal. At its core, as I would argue, it is a message of nihilism, war, slavery and poverty (as of principle from which it springs and solution these ivory tower technocrats want to impose). If you want a message of hope, meaning, ecological active approach: lets watch, learn, implement ideas of true ecologists, Allan Savory and his transformation of deserts into productive grasslands, or Donado Nobre on atmospheric rivers, or any of the ecologists out there in the physical world, measuring, learning and doing real work.

I used to work for our state broadcaster. It was well known within the industry that if audio channels went down, or were wrong you'd get more complaints than if video quality dropped.
> Neither is perceptively different (by humans) from a CD, even with the best equipment

I think there is way more individual differences here than what some people assume. I have a few friends that often perceive way more details in images and image quality than me, to the point that some compressions that are fine for me will bother them. I think the same is true with sound: some people will benefit from CD quality, and some others won't.

That may also depend on the music that people listen to. If the tests are not made with the music you listen to, is the result the same? Is there a way to say "there's no difference for song X, so there is also no difference for song Y"?
There are many criteria surrounding performance etc. When it comes to cloud computing which is where I tend to do all my work these days, my key ones are:

1. Portability - Ensure that the database in use can be installed on a developer workstation or off-cloud in an on-prem production environment. Amazon's DynamoDB looks amazing and it's a shame I'll never use it.

2. Compatibility - If you can't get 100% portability then at least ensure the protocol is identical to something you could use elsewhere. This is why I compromised on using Amazon Aurora for example, because it's protocol compatible with MySQL.

3. Maintenance - if you pick a relatively new database technology then you will need to run your own servers. You will need to figure out backups and test them. If you use something boring like MySQL or Postgres, you can just host this in a managed service with everything you need to use it in production. You pay more, but you spend less time, which is the only thing you cannot borrow or buy.

During lockdown I "got into" vinyl and then this year back into CDs and.. I'm really enjoying the experience and think you might be right. I managed to get used audiophile gear for pennies on the dollar and through the same gear, CDs sound streets ahead of Spotify on the same tracks (vinyl less so, it's more about the "ceremony").

The thing about CDs is so many were poorly mastered, and while you can pick up CDs super cheap, finding ones that genuinely sound amazing is quite tricky. Rare ones can still go for a lot of money. I have started to collect things that simply aren't on streaming services (common with older original albums of less mainstream artists) and it's harder but more rewarding than I expected (for example, try to get https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazemachi_Roman for less than $30..)
Also the designer of the Atari SIO, Joe Decuir, also worked on the USB standards and calls the SIO the direct ancestor of USB. Too bad it's so slow. The Commodore VIC-20 and 64 (which had a similarly crippled serial interface) and Atari 8-bits all would have been even more interesting machines with a fast parallel floppy interface.

> "Moore Threads" is more than an interesting naming choice - the company's website does promise "double the number of concurrent threads every two years."
Thanks for elaborating on this. I guess the confusion also stems from the word "heat" which we usually associate with something that's warmer than some human day-to-day reference. Heat in the physical sense though just refers to the kinetic energy of a number of particles, which can be harvested (per the post above) provided there are differences in kinetic energy throughout space.

It's also interesting to play the "Follow the Energy" game to it's logical conclusion, namely that nearly all of the energy in the Universe (including that which you expend typing on your keyboard) originates from the gravitational potential created in the Big Bang (whatever that is, by the way). This begs the question; how was the entropy of the early Universe to low, that it could increase by such an enormous amount, to produce intelligent beings such as ourselves, typing things on a keyboard while we should be working?

It's really one of the most fundamental questions in cosmology, and one of the (many) reasons why I love physics.

Sounds to me like you understand the appeal of Squid Game perfectly :)

Squid Game is very deep

I don't think many people are saying that Squid Game itself is very deep, rather that it seems to work as a catalyst for many to have deeper conversations about these topics that they haven't really been having before.
I'm not sure how it'll be in decades to come, but so far I've had a lot of luck even with "soiled" CDs from the 90s and error correction seems to make up for a lot. They are far more robust than DVDs, at least, which can generally go in the garbage beyond a certain state.

The way peertube is an alternative to youtube is not by end users understanding what it is, but by technical users hosting themselves the videos. For example, OCaml has a peertube instance to watch OCaml related content: https://watch.ocaml.org/. This is an alternative to watching the content on youtube.
In principle it might be possible for a language model to develop true general intelligence. However there's no mechanism in GTP and similar systems that makes such a development necessary.

In fact it seems likely that the development of internal structures that might develop into the faculties needed by an AGI would, in their intermediate state, make it worse as a language model. Evolution sometimes faces such development gaps, where to develop a capability that would ultimately grant improvements, it would have to go through intermediate phases that would make it worse. Language models are optimised in a very specific way and trained to solve a very narrow problem, compared to the problems faced by physical beings.

So while I cant honestly say no, a language model can never do that, equally there's no actual reason to believe one ever would.

this is super nice. i have submitted patches to the project out of curiosity and they were accepted. A nice community on github. I would suggest people here to try using the website , tilvids.com is a perfect example. i was doing its beta testing of the livestreaming and i found 30 seconds delay between screen recording and viewing on a client. That was some random russian server so the latency was bad anyways because of location but still.

What I meant was that slavery was a big divide in the US. This was not caused by the constitution. I think any founding documents would have had the same effect: massive bloodshed to force part of the country to stop slavery.

When I say independent of the constitution, I mean that no matter what legal foundational framework, I think we would have had the civil war to end slavery. Even if we had the magma carta or whatever.

There’s a significant amount of luck involved with what you’re pointing out. In the situation of owning a relatively small amount of a company, the actions of billionaires have nothing to do with the actions of your average non-early employee.
The big issue, to me, with concepts such as event sourcing is that they are fundamentally presented as software engineering concepts. You get a nice picture showcasing the overall structure and a story or two of how succesful this is, but we never discuss computer science matters. I want to know things such as "what safety properties does this system afford me?", "how is it abstractly modelled?", "what global invariants must I uphold for this system to work?". These are missing in regular conversation with other engineers, and I miss this kind of more formal reasoning.
Ultimately, this kind of discussion should form the basis for the answers to questions of value to the business.

Bugs arise and are solved in these informal systems, but I rarely hear people ask "how do we never get this particular class of bug again?". These questions are kept for researchers (either academic or corporation), never to reach the regular software developer.

Preface: humans are really bad at assessing risk. Also, you can't help but be biased in the decision process. Most people want a chance at the golden ticket. Especially after all that hard work we put in! We deserve a payout! What was I going to do with the $10,000 anyway, really? It won't break me.

The people that can make a reasoned and well considered, as impartial as possible judgement about it don't need to be told to do so. In fact, a statement that one should never buy the options can and mostly will (rightly so) just be ignored by such people.

But, judging by the number of people that have NO CLUE about how it works, need only the tiniest thing to grab onto to make the wrong decision. There is zero need to recommend "well consider your risk". If you have to ask, then my advice is always as I gave it: not to skip it as a rule, but if you re-read you'll notice all I said was, the odds are not in your favor and you "should" just leave the options behind. I think there is a subtle but important difference. Maybe I'm splitting hairs, if so, sorry.

You're actually arguing survivor bias as being some kind of counter argument! You are in the pretty small minority, I do hope you understand that.

Tell me, how do you feel about COVID vaccine? Shouldn't we just be allowed to make up our own mind about it? If masks and vaccines work, well the scientific set can wear masks and vaccine up. The anti-vax crowd can do as they please and die. We don't need the government to TELL US what to do, do we? No one gets out alive anyway, amirite?

What is your recommendation on COVID? Evaluate the risk and decide for yourself? Surely you prefer Florida's or Texas' take on COVID to California's then?

I now come full circle: humans are really bad at assessing risk.

The article itself lurches all over the place and takes some bizarre turns - e.g. the weird conspiracy theory thrown out about how attempts at more egalitarian college admissions are simply a backhanded dig at Jews and Asians, the barely concealed indignation at anything "woke" and the re-definition of elite to mean "literally anyone with a college degree".

The views he holds seem pretty average among worried Beltway center-right elites (actual elites), although not in any way representative of average Americans.

When I mean slavery, I mean chattel slavery.

I don’t think imprisonment is slavery. There are many problems with the US prison system and it needs a lot of work to reform and correct. But at least it’s not chattel slavery.

Equating the two is not very helpful to the discussion because it distracts from a conversation about slavery by equating two different, but slightly similar topics.
