Interesting perspective. I’m actually on the other side, wanting to get started contributing to open source by making a few bug fixes to small single author projects I use, but its essentially one persons baby so I don’t want to annoy them, but also forking to make a tiny change seems like stealing credit when they wrote 99% of the code. One the other hand big projects are complicated and hard to wrap my head around. If you had any thoughts about how to approach a single maintainer respectfully that would be very helpful.
> If people want to remove the American dependence on cars, they need to make American cities a more than a playground for the young professional class, and make them places a large proportion of Americans would actually want to live in.

This is precisely what happens when you remove cars from cities.
Seems like it requires Starship to launch unless I heard it wrong? Its too big for Falcon 9. Starship is still not space ready so it seems like it really depends on that program moving forward before we see these satellites in space. Given Musk's track record, I expect probably a year extra delay before it finally is opened to users. He did mention that they will probably produce a mini version of the satellite if Starship is delayed too much. Would they need to develop this mini satellite?

It does!

DARPA is probably the best-known route and funds a lot of academic and corporate research (including, for a while, me).

The DoD also has a bunch of other grant-making programs (Office of Naval Research, Congressionally-directed Medical Research Program, etc) and also labs that directly do research themselves. The Air Force has a big research center (AFRL) in Ohio; the army has one in Maryland (ARL), and the Navy has one in DC (NRL). There are loads of other sites as well: the army has a night vision research lab in New Jersey, for example, and the Navy has some marine mammal stuff on the West Coast.

A lot of this work--even the stuff done at DoD labs--winds up in open literature. By policy all of that is supposed to be publicly available, so you can browse it here https://discover.dtic.mil/products-services/.
Conveniently ignoring all the evidence of success?

I wish I could charlatan my way into thousands of satellites in space, a rocket that flies into space weekly and a car company changing the flow of the entire industry.

Sounds pretty good for a mere charlatan.

This is like the old argument about faking the moon landings. By the time you add up all the things you'd need to fake/people you'd need to buy off in order to make it bullet proof, you end up with it being actually cheaper to actually fly to the moon.
People haven't shown the inclination for more critical assessment so far; why would that change all of a sudden?

And AI fakes are still in their infancy. For example, they haven't learned to push emotional buttons yet. But they will soon, because it's not all that hard, and it drastically increases the virality.

Now, with that in mind, watch this video, and weep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE3j_RHkqJc
Many gym’s business models don’t work without subscriptions. Should they simply cease to exist or is it maybe a decent thing that customers subsidize each other?
And by and large I don't, actually.

The only Electron programs I tolerate are of the Too Big To Evade kind: Steam, Discord, LINE, and DMM Game Player.

The rest can (and have) all take a hike for wasting my electric bills.

Also, don't expect (let alone demand) to earn any respect from users if you don't respect them in the first place. It's really that simple.
Enjoy the silence…

The silence of your house.
The silence of your mind.
The sounds of just you and your spouse talking, eating, sleeping.

The silence you never hear after you have kids.
Parenting is full of noise.
From the second they wake up, to the moment they close their eyes at night.
There's always something making a sound.

It's the sound of laughter, and sometimes tears.
The sound of little feet running, and big feet stomping.
The sound of dishes clattering, and laughter echoing.

It's the sound of life, and it's beautiful.
So cherish the silence while you can,
Because soon enough it will be gone.
Orcas are terrible people
The heading is just blatant speculation. It was written before Ming-Chi Kuo tweeted about M2 Pro being on enhanced 5nm. Once he said that, the article was updated to include his tweet - adding an element of uncertainty. Ming-Chi Kuo is a credible news source; cultofmac is an aggregator - they don't care if they're wrong and they optimize for eyeballs.

This post reeks of fanboy-ish excitement; there's nothing to see here.

> I don't think military R&D produces many academic papers

Do you mean researchers employed by the military? Otherwise, basically half of every STEM professor I encountered had funding via some branch of the military.
Probably with a local gated mirror, and very careful upgrades. I hope...
Yea, I know this feeling. Not everything is sunshine and rainbows. Absolutely a ton of work and many sacrifices involved
If that workflow works for you, that's awesome. As a lifelong Linux user who works primarily in the terminal and uses a terminal based editor, it would work for me too. Dismissing people who work differently as being cowards is a stance I hope you'll reconsider.

Dictating to people how their workflow should look - _that_ is the antipattern. Developers should choose their OS, their editor, and virtually everything about their workflow. Forcing them to work remotely robs them of the opportunity - you can work graphically over SSH, and you can use SSH from Windows (if that is your preferred OS), but it's a hack that isn't always going to work quite right and is going to create unnecessary friction for people with different workflows than you or I. That's to say nothing of auxillary tools, like debuggers, that people may want to bring to bear. Don't get me started on getting debuggers to work over SSH, yes it can be done, yes I have done it, no I don't ever want to do it again.

The infrastructure should bend to conform to the developer's needs, and not the other way around. Generally technology should conform to the needs of humans, and humans should not be asked to contort themselves for the benefits of technology.

For instance, at my last company, I was asked to use a Mac laptop so that the team could standardize on Mac. I complied to be a team player, and this turned out to be a mistake. It robbed me of so much efficiency in the first few months, and it never worked as well for me as Debian running on my personal laptop, which cost a _third_ of the price of that Mac. I had so many frustrating issues and things that just never worked properly. But for other people, it was a great choice; I have no interest in bashing the Mac - my point is that people should be allowed to choose and customize their own tools.
A couple things:

1. If you have hobbies, put them on hold indefinitely. Your about to get new ones. This is ok, though. I've found I have time for one only. The rest of my time has been re-discovering the world with my young daughters. Cherish it, and have fun with it. Enjoy refamiliarizing yourself with simple things, like watching a sugar ant walk across the floor.

2. Ive learned to make it a point to immediately put my phone or laptop away as soon as my kids are in the room. I don't have peer reviewed to evidence to back up my claim thatit has done wonders for the self esteem and confidence (compared to waht I often see) but it seems like it has. Always be attentive to them, first and foremost. HN can wait... it is probably just another post about a note-taking app anyways.

3. You can absolutely still learn and progress amd a fast pace in your career. You'll have to learn to study hard in short blocks of time, but if you make it a priority it will happen.

4. Kids have a weird way of getting between you and your partner. Don't forget to make intimate moments with them.

5. Some days and weeks are just going to suck. Just remember, it will be alright

6. If you have close friends or relationships you care about, I'd put some monthly reminders in your calendar for the next couple years to just gently remind yourself to call/text/email/whatever. It is hard to keep friends when you have young kids.

Disclaimer: I have a almost 4 and an almost 2 year olds -- these are just the things I've learned. More wiser (more kids, older kids) fathers probably have better wisdom to impart.

Just a couple days ago they announced that they will also be using Falcon 9 to launch the new Gen2 Starlink satellites, instead of the original plan to launch all of them using the still-in-development Starship. So it seems like Musk is pretty committed to doing this in a reasonable timeline, with smaller technology risk.
Humans get into accidents otherwise avoidable by most other driving humans every day.
3 and 5. I’m on a phone so I won’t say much even though I have so much to say.

Having kids is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. And it’s the most fulfilling thing I’ve ever done. It’s exhausting and expensive and terrifying and messy and exhausting, but I wouldn’t ever give it up.

Whatever I thought “joy” felt like before kids… wasn’t it.

The article mentions that half-lives are such that it's not much of a problem even for "everyday steel" any more:

> But the days of low-background steel are coming to an end. Cobalt-60, the most common radioactive isotope found in our air from the nuclear blasts, has a half-life of around 5.3 years. Since the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1963, the atmosphere has become less, well, radioactive, meaning that increasingly the steel we make today – and hope to make in the future – is fit for our satellites after all.
Perhaps for them it's a loss leader, but for someone using this to sign up to stuff.. I would like to use this for almost all services but given the business model here I would be uncomfortable using this beyond the more spammy stuff (not that that's not useful!)
I would still trust iridium more for a life or death situation than T-Mobile...
Life is better after my daughter.

As for sleep, you might be only a few months away from consistent sleep. Whatever the case, rather than waiting for the early months to pass, try to enjoy them because they are the shortest time. The "chapters" of life get longer, there was little difference between 1st and 3rd grade, years of the same (still plenty to enjoy though). Yet those first hours, those first days and week are each their own chapter; the first 6-months it's own chapter. They go by fast, things change fast in the beginning. Just be aware.
nope. IU
I would absolutely kill and die for my partner and my kid but I have the latter because I desperately wanted the former and it was part of the contract. It was the price I had to be willing to pay and I would choose it again.
The famous story about Charlie Parker:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Parker

>His attempt to improvise failed when he lost track of the chord changes. This prompted Jo Jones, the drummer for Count Basie's Orchestra, to contemptuously take a cymbal off of his drum set and throw it at his feet as a signal to leave the stage. However, rather than discouraging Parker, the incident caused him to vow to practice harder, and turned out to be a seminal moment in the young musician's career when he returned as a new man a year later.

On display in any jam session is thousands of hours of (solitary) practice, study, and reflection.

This is a forum for discussion, and that's what I'm participating in, a discussion.

I am unsure why you believe that my reply must strictly address a question in manner that you deem suitable.
I have no free time to code or game any more, and when i'm playing with the little psychos I don't miss it at all.

Spend more time on my phone though, due to the opportunity cost of doing anything except reading books(now web serials) in short bursts.

Harder to be spontaneous about weekends now, have to plan things out more because of all the work in taking small children out for the day.

My wife and I have strong opinions on different kids shows.

Two pieces of advice: Once they're on solids, brush their teeth twice a day. If they haven't spoken more than 5 words in their first 18mo, ignore everyone saying "they're just slow talkers, it's fine" and take them to a speech therapist. If you don't need it, awesome. If you do, early intervention has more impact.
Bigot!

I think you damage your own credibility more than Musk's by saying things like this. He's delivered on electric cars and reusable rockets. It's fair to say promises more than he delivers, but he delivers an awful lot.
No, self driving cars are as hard as expected.
Are there any instances of this happening? I feel like it would be caught so fast it's not worth trying
Free phone numbers to receive sms's are ubiquitous. Its trivial to bypass.

Github actions wears the cost as a huge multinational and has anti-abuse mechanisms in place for CI runners but not account signups which again are simple to automate if it means free compute.

None of these things are actual solutions, people abuse free tiers to run cryptominers and commit crime, they don't get dissuaded by that. A CC number is a much more serious threshold that solves nearly all of your problems in a day.
It’s rough. Let her take as much time as she needs or wants 6 months - 2 years whatever if you can afford it AU pair is great. Also hire some cleaners if you can. Time is going to be super precious. It gets better after 6 months but just grind it out for now
I think the problem isn't me turning my phone off, it's other people not turning their phone off.

You'd need to know it's a bot to make such an association. The premise here is that you won't be able to tell.
Thank you for the link. I had an opportunity to try out the online VM for Interlisp-D a few months ago; it works very well. I'm glad that Xerox Interlisp-D has been made open source and that there is a team of people who are contributing to it.

It seems that Xerox PARC's work on Lisp is less known than its work on Smalltalk, despite the fact that a Lisp heavyweight, Gregor Kiczales of "The Art of the Metaobject Protocol" and aspect-oriented programming fame, worked there. Xerox PARC in its heyday was quite a fount of innovation, and the work done from the 1970s through roughly the 1990s (I don't know much about Xerox PARC beyond the 90s) remain a treasure trove of ideas that should be reexamined in today's world.
This will be interesting, one advantage Verizon has had is more area coverage in many states. In Northern California I switched from Tmobile -> Verizon just for this reason. It has been much better. This is for stuff like on a random beach, at a camping spot or just driving around in hills in the North Bay. I've never noticed any difference in SF.

I thought competitors would never catch up, because tower buildout is so difficult. This has the potential to leapfrog over that. To me a reliable 2/3G experience everywhere would be superior to higher speeds in suburbs (if that's Verizon's benefit).

Also I miss the Tmobile travel experience, you just land and it works for free in many countries. I'd happily switch back.
I dunno, man. Some "dev ops" jerk at work is always complaining about how he has to spend all his time answering support requests from developers with errors in their local environment. It only takes like a couple hours of my week, so what? And then when our deploys fail because the server didn't have the same version of python as our local environment, he tries to blame the fact that the local and remote environments are different!

Can you believe the nerve of that guy? Keeps trying to convince us that a single centrally managed system is easier or more reliable (or whatever) than 30 randomly configured ones on multiple operating systems! I think he's nuts, personally. I have half a mind to tell my manager that he's trying to disrupt our ideal workflows.

And really, what's the problem with testing my app in an environment that isn't the same as production? Yeah, sure, I might save some time not having to maintain a local environment that everyone on my team can replicate. And, sure, developing remotely would let me change laptops without spending a week to set everything up again; but it's only a week, I have a ton of those left. And yeah, maybe the cloud network has a bunch of services that I need proxies and VPNs and other things to test from my laptop. And granted, doing development on a server with 40 CPU cores and the same network as the database and webserver is faster than my laptop.

...But if all that was better, I'd be doing it already. If it's on my laptop, I know how it works. What's better than what you already know?
Line of sight (1/r^2) often has lower attenuation than urban propagation (1/r^3 to 1/r^4), so it’s often easier to hit a LEO satellite than a terrestrial tower.
Food protectionism is so dumb. It’s still champagne, bourbon, balsamic vinegar, bolognese, pecorino romano. You wouldn’t say it’s not a hamburger unless it’s from Hamburg. Or a Philly cheesesteak unless it’s made within city limits.

Yes, the specific taste can be specific to the region’s produce or historic process but that’s true of anything if you’re willing to mythologize it. You shouldn’t be able to claim it made where it isn’t but Dijon mustard meaning “mustard made in the style as popularized in the town of Dijon” is not something you get to claim geographic dominion over long long long after it’s been the genericized accepted term for the specific food. Dijon is a kind of Spicy Mustard but the implication doesn’t go backwards and there’s no other name for it.
Thanks, I’m going to need these:)
Perhaps you hadn't yet encountered the subject of Epistemic Violence, in that case:

“I have thus defined epistemic violence as a forced delegitimation, sanctioning and repression […] of certain possibilities of knowing, going hand in hand with an attempted enforcement […] of other possibilities of knowing.”

Before the baby life was very easy. Just do as I (and my girlfriend) wanted, when we wanted. No real concerns. A lot of freedom with regards to how to spend time.

After our baby was born, initially my girlfriend spend most time with our daughter. I did carry our baby around a bit, but did not really do any of the other things like feeding, cleaning diapers and such. My girlfriend seemed to really want to do these tasks, so I let her be.

When our daughter got a bit older, initially my girlfriend was annoyed that I didn't play much with our daughter. But I guess when the baby is still very small, it just something that is hard to do for me, perhaps because I am male. Children don't get that interesting for most men until you can more properly interact with them, from what I understand, so I shouldn't be an outlier here.

Once our baby could walk a bit and talk I would spend much more time playing with our daughter. And our daughter now much prefers to play with me compared with my girlfriend.

Nowadays (daughter 5.5 years old) I feel as my girlfriend still mostly takes care of the feeding and showering as well (though I am happy to shower our daughter if she asks for it, as she did like up until half a year ago). I spend a lot of time playing with our daughter each day. We both help her a bit with homework.

Now our daughter does tend to get sick a couple of times a year, so that can be a bit of a hassle. We both get a bit more easily sick now as well. I guess it got something to do with our daughter going to school now and getting germs and spreading those in our home.

Since I work at home, it can be a hassle to work at times, especially if our daughter has a day off from school. She wants to spend all day playing with me, while I try to focus on doing work.
The statement from Nature has been very carefully worded.

The quote in the parent comment seems to suggest that perfectly valid scientific findings should be withheld if there is a possibility that bad people would misuse them. The consequence of this of course would be a complete victory of "Blank Slate"[1] Dogma (because any scientific finding that finds differences between social groups could be misused to undermine the human rights of one group).

And yet the statement never quite explicitly says findings should be withheld only because they could be misused. Rather it says that research that contains contain hate speech, etc. should perhaps not be published. It says authors should consider the potential harm of their research, and so on.

The intended result I think is a sort of chilling effect with plausible deniability. It pleases the inquisition, and at the same time leaves the scientists with a remainder of self-respect. I am not sure how long this delicate truce can last.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blank_Slate
a) I really like how Paul G had phrased this - http://www.paulgraham.com/kids.html

"I had plenty of happy times before I had kids. But if I count up happy moments, not just potential happiness but actual happy moments, there are more after kids than before. Now I practically have it on tap, almost any bedtime."

This to me sums it up very well. Yes,parts of me miss the things I could do earlier. But as with all things in life, is this change a net positive in terms of happiness? "It very likely will be" - has been my experience thus far. My child, still a toddler, continues to be a suprisingly reliable source of happiness and laughs, well into their 6th year. [touches wood].

b) I had a fairly strong attachment to my wife/best friend as I do today too. However, pregnancy, and having a kid reduces your partner's influence on your happiness funnel. They are , for very good reason, less available during the first year of the child's growth.

I would thus highly emphasize on diversiyfing your sources of happiness ( with hobbies, men's night out etc) - otherwise, like I saw, there will be a quick fall in happiness levels in the initial few months.
