Every country to some extent has its own market. In the US market SpaceX competes with ULA and by now many others. However no matter how low prices go, the military and NASA will ALWAYS give contract to at least 2 companies. And also support the other companies.

Its LITERALLY impossible for SpaceX to capture the US market. I don't know what you don't understand. ITS LITERALLY A LAW THAT REQUIRES THE DOD TO SOURCE FROM MULTIPLE COMPANIES. SpaceX could be free and other companies will still exist in the US.

In the international market (sometimes called free bid) however they are competing against all those I listed. And non of those are gone give up.

> That's nice you think it's stupid but other companies have ran at a loss subsidized by investments

Yes ok I agree that it exists. But simply because that strategy exists doesn't mean you can just supply it to every company ever who lowers prices.

And for SpaceX its simple not possible. It doesn't make sense. Literally no sense. And the number don't add up. If you look at how much SpaceX has raised, it just does not add up if you also assume the launch Falcon 9 at a loss.

> There's articles from 2018 saying their leaked documents show a loss

Yes of course because at that point they were in major development of major, major capital projects like Starship and Starlink. It was also before they got the money for the human flight from NASA, another major capital project.

And of course since then they have come a very, very long way in terms perfecting re-usability and operational efficiency and you can see that in their numbers.

It seems that you just somehow want to believe this despite not a single expert on the industry believing this is true. Despite you not having a shred of evidence to support it. And despite it being a strategy that makes absolutely no sense what so ever in the launch industry.

Arianespace accused them of the same thing as early as 2014 if I remember correctly and even then they were getting laughed at because even then, before re-usability its was a dumb take. Not even Arianespace now still claims this is true.
In a way, yes, especially the medical-related things.

What's kind of crazy is how the images tend to have similarities in small features that become very apparent when flipping back and forth between images, but which are not obvious per se.

For example, I flipped back and forth between Beatrix Potter and Paulus Potter. A rounded white bonnet in one picture becomes a couple of blossoms in the other. The roof of a house becomes some shadowy wall with plants in the other. Two flower pots are very similar, just with slightly different coloring.

It makes it more apparent that the algorithm etches the images out of noise, and if the seed is the same for two images with different prompts, you're likely to see traces of that noise represented differently but recognizable in both images.
Maybe it was a bait and switch link.
Even if we accept that (and I gave plenty of reasons above why IQ is deeply, deeply, flawed as a metric, and the link to race—both at all and in terms of amount—is deeply questionable, and just because there is some difference in early childhood doesn't mean all of what you claim is, so plenty of it could be later racism), you are still just arbitrarily saying that accounts for the disparity, when there is evidence that isn't the case, because tests have been done with matching candidates, or presenting the same applications with different photos, etc...

Ironically, Tesla receives a significant amount of criticism/hate for the small size of their product line up (four models, where each pair of two is very similar: X & S, and Y & 3). Many analysts and critics fail to appreciate how much market opportunity exists for a single very well-executed vehicle per major category, such as "small SUV."

I feel the same way about Linux these days and I’m not an amateur. Hardware support wise it’s the best it has even been, but it feels increasingly unstable software wise. The fragmentation is crazy, things are hard to rely on long term, and there’s no consistency.

I’d had enough and started using OpenBSD for everything and am much happier personally. It at least feels more stable and I can trust it not to break. If it does break the documentation is second to none and always accurate.

The easiest approach is probably to avoid or reduce obviously harmful habits and behaviors that result in chronic diseases (eg: cardiovascular disease, diabetes)
- Avoid smoking and hard drugs

- Avoid excessive alcohol consumption

- Avoid fast food, excessive salt and sugar, deep fried dishes

- Avoid excessive stress and worrying

Besides that, focus on the basics:

- Consistent and restful sleep

- Healthy, balanced diet

- Regular exercise

- Novel and mentally-stimulating activities, continuous learning

- Strong social connections (not just online social networks, but actual friends and family you can hang out with in-person)

If you want even more, there have been studies about 5 blue zones where inhabitants regularly reach ages of 100 or more, and 9 habits they follow: https://www.bluezones.com/2016/11/power-9/

1. Move naturally: build exercise into your daily life

2. Purpose: a reason to wake up in the morning

3. Downshift: Routines that shed stress

4. Only eat until you are 80% full. Consider occasionally fasting.

5. Plant and bean-based diet

6. Moderate (1-2 cups/day) consumption of alcohol

7. Faith

8. Close family connections

9. Social circles that support healthy behaviors

I am a filmmaker and most films are essentially crafted this way. Beyond hiring and securing resources, directors essentially create by communicating ideas in short prompts because there isn’t enough time to do anything more.

I could absolutely see an AI model doing the job of an entire film crew. I have issues with this, but only with respect to the longer term aggregate affects on culture in the broad sense. I cannot honestly believe that much would be lost from the perspective of one project or another.
> That said, the long list of academic references originally posted may be of little practical value for most software developers.

In many cases because what they contain has been integrated (in whole or in part) into the normal order of business.

Some of the big threads:

Structured programming. Even C and C++ constrain their goto statements to the same function. Most other languages have similar constraints or limit them to things like named loops/breaks. So you'll learn structured programming just by learning anything but assembly or old-school BASIC and FORTRAN (where there is some structured programming, but also a lot of unstructured programming).

Concurrency, Milner and Hoare's works have influenced many modern languages. CSP influenced or formed the basis of many modern concurrency systems. Go and Erlang/Elixir (anything on BEAM) are fairly mainstream languages that draw on it at least in part.ure* understanding of it because implementations aren't pure implementations of it for whatever reasons).

Even many of the type systems stuff. Type inference is used by many modern languages, generics/polymorphism is also used by most modern statically typed languages. Even Go finally got on the generics train.

So yeah, you don't need to study these papers to benefit from them, many (most?) modern languages are directly or indirectly influenced by them.
Really cool solution with the hot mirror! I always wondered if we will end up with cameras behind microdisplays. Some phones are already doing this, but doing that for VR is probably years away.

For what it's worth, the US is at least destroying its remaining stockpiles of chemical weapons, and is due to finish the process by September 2023. Let's hope the country doesn't get involved in a large scale conflict between now and then, which might cause a change of plans for those munitions.

I can, but my info may be slightly out of date, but I was in the space.

Manjaro's head is cluless, and that's putting it nicely. More than once their SSL cert expired, and rather than fix it, just told everyone to set their system clock back.

He effectively stole a bunch of code and s/myname/manjaro the entire codebase. To the point I had to add serverside code blocking their users hitting my server.

They did not have(and may still not have) anyone who knew anything about the linux codebase, but still decided to hold packages in the name of 'security.' So zero days took much longer to fix. And introduced bugs still got introduced, just later. It's not like RedHat or Ubuntu who have real professionals checking things... it's just a hold.

Endeavor guys were super nice. They contacted us asking to work together, telling us their goals, etc. By that point we were mostly moved onto other things so couldn't offer much help. Endeavor's system is much smarter and safer. It puts you on Arch repos, and doesn't hold packages. That's ideally what an Arch installer should do, no matter what the neckbeards on arch forums squeal about.

I used to be a religious devotee to Lisp, but then I started programming for a living and realized that static type systems (even of the simplest variety) are so helpful for preventing bugs. Unfortunately, I never found a typed variant of Lisp that I really liked; the uniform Lisp syntax doesn't collide well with the stratification of types and values.

> They went to some length to show that the parts running Linux and the critical functions of the device were sufficiently independent.

Let's not be too pedantic. You, as an experienced medical device engineer, probably knew what I meant was that they would never use Linux in the critical parts of a medical device as the OP had originally argued. Any device would definitely do all of it's functionality without the part with Linux on it.

The OP was still a major strawman, regardless of my arguments, because the Linux kernel will never be in the critical path of a medical device without a TON of work to harden it from errors and such. Just the fact that Linus' stance is as said would mean that it's not an appropriate kernel for a medical device, because they should always fail with an error and stop under unknown conditions rather than just doing some random crap.
So this thread? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32879558

I still don't understand the relevance, this neither appears toxic nor to be a discussion of Rust; this looks like they put forward an out-there idea and you didn't care for it, which just seems like a discussion about consumer protection laws. I also don't see the connection from Actix drama to the idea that people are exaggerating the capabilities of Rust or causing problems for other language communities - I don't know much about it, I'm fully willing to believe toxicity was involved, but a breakdown in communication between a maintainer and their community doesn't seem like the behavior we're discussing and I don't see any evidence this was peculiar to Rust and not a phenomenon in open source at large.

I don't want to relitigate some thread I wasn't even a part of, I just don't understand.

From memory I think Cocke lectured at Berkeley (and maybe at Stanford too?)
It's equity not equality. In a way, the opposite of equality.
I've known engineers who would swear up, down, and center that using Haskell or Lisp or Clojure made them more productive. More features, better, and faster.

From the outside, I didn't see any evidence of this. The people who were better and more experienced engineers tended to produce more, better, and faster. I saw that they were happier using the tools of choice. As far as I could tell the supposed extra productivity over Rails or some other modern framework for the task at hand was largely illusory.

On the one hand, happier engineers is good. On the other hand, code in relatively obscure languages is more difficult to find people to maintain and libraries are less likely to be kept patched by the community. It's a tradeoff. I wouldn't say one is better.

The primary gain from Lisp and similar is, in my experience, not that it's useful for writing software. It's that learning a different approach teaches you new ways to attack problems. Sometimes those are useful.

>despite the vast amount of empirical data

Well, your examples seem pretty cherry-picked and not necessarily generally empirical (ie. lots of embedded subjectivity).

Now your first link is more interesting and is usually the one that everyone pulls out as "absolute proof" that discrimination is live and well in modern hiring against Black people.

I wonder, though, how much of this is in the bias of the experimenters when they selected "Black sounding names" and how much is just unfamiliarity with an "unusual" (and by this I mean rare) name and how much is the knee-jerk reaction to a name (basically real prejudice).

For example the actual most common names for Black children in the US are – Jacob, Emma, Michael, Ava, William, Emily, etc. And I suspect they are not choosing those names on purpose.

On the other hand, my ex's sister named their son "Air Jordan" (for his first name) and their daughter Cinnamon for her first name. And I personally have great uncles with the real first names of "Snapbean" and "Squawk" (I am not joking).

None of these people are Black, but how do you imagine their resumes are accepted at large (or small) companies?

So I am wondering how much is prejudice against the person and how much is prejudice against the name?
I'd like to hear more about that, but I assume it's much like the other poster here that described a Linux system that is a peripheral device attached to the actual medical device that does the medical shit.
So, "restricting freedom of speech in any way" is actually "restricting freedom of speech in any way unless during working hours and influences working output". This revised definition now supports the use of DEI in the OP article.

> I recently read mfiano's blog post about Common Lisp. He makes the point that the language attracts loners. ...

That article by mfiano focuses on reasons the author switched from Lisp to Julia. As for the "loners" part, mfiano says this:

> This hints at a very real problem with Common Lisp: it has a tendency to attract people that employ the 'NIH syndrome' and refuse to collaborate. There is a large overlap of software available, and there is a large selection of low-hanging fruit for new developers. This coupled with the fact that the language is small, relatively speaking, hurts the language immensely.

Contrast this with how djha (TFA) puts it:

> I feel like Lisp is custom built for high functioning, high quality, low-head-count teams. I kinda feel like most of my projects into this category.

So TFA is kind of taking liberties with mfiano's post. I might come down to whether or not you view NIH syndrome as a net positive or negative.
