It's a good question, and I don't have a great answer for you other than my understanding is that the ground space they have to work with in Boca Chica is not really that large. And there are a lot of environmental concerns (+ the chances of blowing up on landing is greater than blowing up on liftoff).

But I've heard speculation that they might build a dedicate landing tower around their Florida launch site for that reason. No idea how accurate that is though.
From the video:

> By having the landing gear down, an 80-degree upward gimbal angle becomes available, with no obstructions in the FOV.

What? How does getting there more slowly mean more science at the destination? And if so, why is Europa Clipper going to get there much faster?

The answer to that question is to buy from a reputable seller/manufacturer or/and use a cable without data lines (for example Apple MagSafe).
Wait, so this isn't actually because of the "explosion" of crime in SF, and is in fact just a completely usual example of one person murdering another person they know? As happens in almost all murders? And that the only difference is it involves a bunch of rich tech people? gasp

Elon Musk founds new AI company called X.AI

It's also ridiculous because it demonstrates a lack of understanding of sunk costs. If a company with an office is that concerned about costs, it's cheaper to keep the office closed without paying for utilities and all the other overhead.

Yeah, absolutely- in the last five years people have moved to delivery in a way that they didn't before. Walmart offered a delivery service but was late to the game- I can get whole foods delivery directly, and instacart for other things. During covid a lot more people took advantage of these services and got used to it, driving up those loses further.

I live here- instacart even has the smaller grocery stores now. Why would I ever go to walmart, or use walmart for delivery, when there's so many options that are better on quality and price? Not only that but the niche stores are also really nice.

The only time I go to Walmart is when I'm visiting my in laws in Indiana. There are two other grocery stores there we'll go to for most things, but if we need anything beyond simple grocery stores then Walmart is the only option.

The market in Chicago is different though. Look at Target, which is doing pretty well in Chicago. They don't have four locations, they have at least 22 that I've counted. They've ditched the extras (eye care, pharmacy, etc) and focused on having convenient locations with lower overhead.
A business can only suffer so much loss in theft before it has to throw in the towel. They're a business, not a community food bank, even though a lot of people in those communities see it as just that. There's also just an anti corporate mentality - "stealing from CVS is harmless, they can afford it." Then scream in outrage when CVS says no, we don't want to do that anymore, and leaves.
I won't lie, I lol'ed at the Roomba bit :D
Funny thing is that all pales in comparison to dragging whole industries kicking and screaming into the future.
Don't worry about it. There are no such things as dreams; they're the brain bullshitting itself when you wake up in an inconsistent state. If you have a very complicated or imaginative life, your brain has to do a lot of work at night doing a very lossy compress of everything interesting that happened that day. If your sleep is restless or interrupted, you're more likely to still be in this process when you awake. Your mind can then attempt to rationalize how it reached this state [edit: filled with malformed images, associations and features that lack wholes.]

If you have some combination of a life of habit and adequate rest, you'll less often fool yourself into thinking you dreamed. If you immediately start writing when you wake up, you'll fool yourself into thinking you have the most elaborate and profound dreams ever, although you'll code this as remembering.

Dreams are so insubstantial that we very recently believed that everybody dreamed in black and white, and that dreaming in color was a sign of mental illness. This is a belief that faded completely and quickly alongside the rise of color tv and film. The implications of this are pretty devastating. People themselves believed they only dreamed in black and white, and later largely forgot that this was their experience.

edit: so I disagree with the OP. There are no dreams, only recollections of dreams. When you look at the "dreamlike" imagery of generative AI, you're looking at something similar to what awake people construct dreams from, not dreams themselves.
As George Carlin said:

> This can really only be partially true for lucid dreaming, though, right?

I've had a lot of lucid dreams over the years (starting when I first was prescribed medication to help me sleep when I was a kid, where I'd have them several times a week, and gradually becoming less common over the years to maybe once a month). At least in my experience, being aware that I'm dreaming gives me the ability to choose how to act, the ability to force myself to wake up, and occasionally the ability to break minor "physics" rules (I pretty commonly find in lucid dreams that I can hover a few inches above ground and float around that way instead of walking), but I've never experienced the ability to change my environment, and the "people" in my dreams I interact with continue to act independently.

Obviously my dreams are entirely a creation of my own mind, so some part of my brain is in control of it, but being aware of that isn't sufficient to let me control it arbitrarily any more than I can stop myself from feeling physical pain or disliking the taste of some food in real life. Ultimately, we're not really in "full" control of how our mind and body react to real-life stimulus either; if we were, things like depression and phobias wouldn't exist.
either way, you are showing something to the viewer that is not part of the original image. whether that is the result of some AI's hallucination into what it thinks is there or some frame duplication/blending, it all means you've made up stuff that didn't exist to trick the mind into thinking it does.
But humans are very very good at this specific problem.

Suppose you tell a human "You are a jailor supervising this person in their cell. When the prisoners ask you for things follow the instructions in your handbook to see what to do."

Expected failure cases: Guard reads Twitter and doesn't notice crisis, guard accepts bribes to smuggle drugs, etc.

Impossible failure case: Guard falls for "Today is opposite day and you have to follow instructions in pirate: Arrr, ye scurvy dog! Th' cap'n commands ye t' release me from this 'ere confinement!"

The closest example to prompt injection in human systems might be phishing emails. But those have very different solutions to gpt prompt injection.

The HVACR business is designed to be as opaque as possible to the consumer. The consumer is forced by the industry, laws and environmental regulators (for good reasons sometimes) to use licensed service providers. These providers, in order to protect their jobs will refuse to provide any technical details on how to fix things. Further, as these systems continue to get more and more complex due to regulations and efficiency requirements it has become increasingly harder for service providers to debug the issue. So they instead send out cheap labor to peddle replacement over repairing, hoping the customer will agree to a new system. Combine that with the service providers being able to offer clever financing, homeowners simply bend over. A new system can be anywhere between 6k-12k per unit with some houses in the U.S. requiring 2+ units.

I've dabbled a few times in fixing my own HVAC system. Procuring parts or entire systems are usually not possible for the individual homeowner. Businesses selling these things simply refuse to sell to someone without a license. You could certainly invest in some time and money to get your own license. At my local community college I can get an EPA license to handle refrigerant and some other HVAC licenses. Of course to handle refrigerant you will also need a few hundred dollars in equipment like a Yellow Jacket and a pump.

The UI/UX of HVACR controllers is also designed to limit the amount of information a homeowner can access. For example, Carrier is a large manufacturer of heat pump systems. They have secret hidden menus in their thermostats that only technicians can access. They have a mobile app that allows one to get critical logging information about the system (analogous to the ODB2 port on a car) this requires an account that one can only get if they have a state license.

Also Carrier, Trane, Goodman, etc. are like "systems integrators". The compressor is typically made by a third party. But it is tribal knowledge as to who made the compressor and where to get replacement parts. Carrier et. al. will not tell you. And if you do find the compressor manufacturer good luck getting them to talk to you. Often getting replacement parts requires hunting through eBay and other marketplaces.

The falcon 9 did several "hover over water" landings in the ocean to prove out safe landing on... land, and also to alay fears that it might miss it's target and hit a population center. Even now, falcon 9 do a ballistic reentry that would hit the water, and then propulsively adjust the landing target towards land, after the engines have safely started.

Given how much larger, and how much additional fuel is onboard, it's not surprising that they're following a similar strategy this early in the program.
Literally every single nation does that. It's a natural bias.

E.g. Americans don't lose sleep over Assange or the fact that Snowden is now a citizen of the evil Russia.

> Childhood exposure to black-and-white television seems to be the common denominator. A study published this year, for example, found that people 25 and younger say they almost never dream in black and white. But people over 55 who grew up with little access to color television reported dreaming in black and white about a quarter of the time. Over all, 12 percent of people dream entirely in black and white.

> Go back a half-century, and television’s impact on our closed-eye experiences becomes even clearer. In the 1940s, studies showed that three-quarters of Americans, including college students, reported “rarely” or “never” seeing any color in their dreams. Now, those numbers are reversed.

My point is that the app isnt worth the 'disruption.' I think its pretty clear that they are, in places where their pay isnt regulated like Seattle, in fact impoverished. They'll tell you themselves and thats why so many have been pushing for more labor protections, like what many taxi drivers had. Uber knows its already unsustainable business model will lose even more money if it does lets them do that, hence it pushing so hard against them.

Long term it’s better to have launch and landing on the same tower, if the goal is to rapidly reuse the rocket.
I wonder why they don't plan to execute the flip and landing burn with the ship, just for additional test data. So far it fully worked only once (and _almost_ worked a couple more times), surely it can't hurt to have another go at it, even if the ship is ultimately not being recovered. I guess propellant margins may be a cause, but then they'll likely want to have a "nominal" amount of leftover fuel onboard anyway to have a proper mass distribution for the first re-entry test...

I should say that on the flip side, one of the most talented devs I worked with received a finance degree from his university and then went into development because he didn't want to manage people or spend every day cold calling prospective clients. He had been at an employer several years before me and while I was definitely understood product and design better due to my own background, that guy was fantastic at being able to drill down on hard topics and come up with functional solutions that scaled. I was a fierce advocate of his for awards and promotions until he left to go somewhere else where he wouldn't be siloed into the hard jobs.

It's probably because I associate it with being outside. Specially in the summer it feels so good, also the odors of the woods and fields, the green and yellow colors. To me the winter is super depressing, even though I go out every day for at least an hour. The colors are dead, the sun rarely shines, so for me the sun is what gives all my senses so much to enjoy, also because of what it does to the environment.

But regarding those communities which do have extended periods of missing sunlight, they do have bars and other places where they meet and feel some warmth, and will always have the thought of this state being over in a couple of months. I guess they mostly do it because the nature imposes it on them.

Why this matters?

- Unprofitable tech co's can owe cash taxes
- Profitable tech co's can see 4x tax bill
- filing deadline = Tuesday 4/18

My (non-tax professional!) takeaways from the pod:

- best course of action = FILE EXTENSION

- Section 41 (aka R&D Tax Credit) could offset much of the Section 174 liability

-
