I'm more and more beginning 5o think tech companies need to face very aggressive regulations around transparency like this.
There was a great deal more to the article than you're suggesting, and I didn't read it as 'anti government outrage.' You can support government interventions and still think the NIH is doing a mediocre job on this project. There's a lot of comparative and contextual information in the article that you seem to have ignored.
The thing you saw blow up was a prototype, a test vehicle and the first ever flight to boot. Do you have any idea how many prototypes get thrown in the trash when you're trying to figure out a physical product and how to manufacture it? If you loved every one of them you'd give up after a week. You have to be merciless and willing to scrap everything and start over if you want to get to production.
What state do you live in that rural roads are 45? On the entire west coast they’re at least 55 and the average speed is more realistically in the mid 60s. I think in some of the south west states the speed limit on 2 lane rural roads is more like 70mph
Why should you? Neither were public facing.
If only all of congress was at least as blessed with common sense as Wanda Sykes. I LOVED her character on Alpha House.
When the prosecutor brings forth the charges to a court, this information will be public. Until then it is probably covered by “förundersökningssekretess”, which just means that ongoing investigations are not public.[0]

You can contact the “Åklagarmyndigheten” (the Swedish prosecutor authority) and ask them and they’ll help you out. Generally speaking it is pretty easy to get information from government agencies in Sweden due to our constitution. Everything is public by default, with some exceptions like military secrets. I think it shouldn’t be a problem for the prosecutor to confirm they had a warrant at Mullvads office, and maybe even to confirm they didn’t seize anything, unless they think it could harm the ongoing investigation somehow.

Don't beat yourself up if you were doing SEO the proper way, making content that genuinely appealed to the proper audience, and/or made the content more accessible. I think there are enough people here on HN that understand proper SEO versus trying to game the system.
Could be interesting to correlate DNA with text produced by people. Both are self replicating, self evolving languages.
is the Maverick DOA? I see the all over my rural farm area and people are paying $8000 over sticker for the privilege of getting one of the few in stock.
I exclusively use apps without ads, and they all still exist, so I have no clue what you're talking about.
Yes, SpaceX makes all their own engine, even inventing their own materials. They are building these very vertically integrated. SpaceX is pretty much the undisputed best rocket engine company in the world. They build more engines then anybody in the world and its not even close. And the Raptor is the most advanced engine in the world.

Rocket engines have different challenges then airplane engines. They are as hard in some ways but easier in others.

Rocket engine operate in a far more extreme environment, peak stressed are far larger, failures and issues far more violent. But the big advantage is that they only have to operate for a few minutes at the time (at least on the first stage). Jet engines need to operate for 1000s of hours.

SpaceX has upped the level significantly, interdicting higher efficiency full flow stage combustion and making them reusable and being able to launch quickly and reliably. So they complexity of Raptor is much higher then your typical first stage rocket engine.

I would say the complexity of a modern jet engine might still be higher, but its hard to estimate these things. Not sure how you would do that scientifically.
It's a lot like arguing with a child about why the sky is blue. Facts and realities don't apply.

Your comments about HP bullets, and particularly incendiary munitions (lol) are absurd and uninformed. But it doesn't matter, you will not educate yourself on the topic no matter how wrong you may be, and therefore we cannot have a productive conversation regarding gun control.

The "I fired a gun once, and now I'm an expert" crowd is exhausting. You've spent hundreds of words here, in public, clearly demonstrating your staggeringly poor command of this topic.

And gun control advocates always ask, why has no progress been made? Because the conversation is not being held from a rational position.
But what happens to the tether it breaks away from? That won't stay up on its own.

I'm sure you could build it in a way that it would break apart into lots of smaller pieces, but even then it seems like it could be dangerous.
Very clearly you have never worked for IBM or Amazon.

SXS are overpriced and underdeliver compared to what you can get from a minitruck.
The 25-year import rule here, which bans Americans from importing vehicles from other countries unless they're 25+ years old, is just awful for those of us who would be interested in driving small, efficient foreign cars.

It would be great to live completely car-free, but absent major changes to how we plan our cities, it's just a sad reality that cars are a necessary ingredient to life in the vast majority of America. To cope with this, I'd love to be able to import a kei car or van from Japan, or micro-sized European city cars, or even some of the very small EV city cars that we see in China... but I just can't, unless I want an overpriced pile of scrap from the 1990s.

It's all so much worse when you realize that the 25-year rule is a holdover from a grey-market import scare of the mid-1980s[0]: European carmakers, namely Mercedes, BMW, and Porsche, were having trouble in the US with people importing European models of their cars. There were some valid concerns around inconsistent modifications for US safety standards, but the main issue was clearly that these grey-market imports were cheaper than buying a US model from a dealer, so profits were being missed. Instead of fixing the pricing discrepancy, they just successfully lobbied the government to enact this draconian 25-year ban, and so to this day I can't have a 2020s Japanese kei car shipped to a US port at my expense because it'd be illegal to register it.

So what did people do when they had 3-4 kids in the 80s? I see families of 4 with huge SUVs these days.

If anything they want a kei van right? It maximises the size of the vehicle, cuboid on wheels, and minimises the cost for that volume.
Everyone knows a sailboat is a hole in the water you pour money into.
> All crypto has done is add an extra layer of complexity on top of the fundamental problem.

In the West - maybe, but check pornolab.net - they are asking for crypto donations right now. They can’t get anything else (but for a different reason) but they can make use of crypto.
This is an incredible start. Would love it if there was a way to maintain progress against an objective (For Kei Trucking, tracking inventory and cash on hand)
You can buy Kei vans too. I've seen them, in the USA. Same import rules as the Kei trucks. When I lived in Chicago, a neighbor had one. It was 4x4 too, so great in the winter.
> Man, there are people in this world who just need taken out and shot.

Why do they need to be shot? Is there something that would prevent society from imprisoning them for as long as needed?
Success is defined by meeting objectives. Primary objective was to not blow up the vehicle on the pad. Great success here.

Secondary objectives indeed aren’t met. I think everybody realizes by now that the big hole where the pad used to be is a bigger problem that it seemed initially. Any solutions are expensive and time consuming.
I've seen 5-6 therapists over the past decade. I'd love to find the right one, but so far my experience is between neutral and strongly negative. My closest friends are far more empathic and life-experienced people, a few quite capable of removing themselves from a conversation for my benefit.
Try to imagine the police executing a warrant against a Google datacenter because one of their customers is under investigation.

If they want to be massive schmucks they could in theory cart off with every server in the building, but they're also not supposed to do this, because the warrant is to seize particular things, and should be something like "servers containing the data of X user" and not just "servers" if the judge is doing what they ought to do.

The police also don't really want to cart off a thousand tons of irrelevant equipment, because it's physical labor and they have to do paperwork to catalog it and it takes up a lot of space in their evidence room. The main reason they do this in practice is to grief the target of the investigation, or to be more charitable, to make sure the target of the investigation isn't lying about which equipment is relevant. But that doesn't really apply when they're searching the building of some independent third party who has done nothing wrong and has more to lose by making false statements to the police than by the police finding what they're looking for.

So what they might do instead is ask the company which servers have relevant data on them. And if the true answer to that question is none, well, that should be the end of it.
Did the judge actually say that all libraries everywhere are illegal? Or am I just supposed to infer that and conclude they must be crazy?
> Yes the team which literally created transformer and almost all the important open research including Bert, T5, imagen, RLHF, ViT don't have the ability to execute on AI /s

Yet Google does not have a slam-dunk product despite so many great research results. This looks a gross failure of the CEO, especially given that he's been chanting AI First in the past few years.
From my experience, they find interesting new artists well before you're likely to hear about their work on the NYTimes, Guardian, or MSM music publication. They are particularly good at catering to listeners with an interest in experimental and ambient music.

Because I don’t think it’s wise to trust ANY company with major secrets, just because they claim to not view them. Thus I agree with your sentiment and recommend it be applied far more widely
Or even just a used jeep wrangler given how overpriced they are.
User since the Hoary Hedgehog days. Congrats Canonical on the new release.

Slight tangent - is 22.04 in a good place as a daily driver? I know it's an LTS release. Mostly recalling concerns around wayland and zoom playing well together. Running a thinkpad t15 gen 2 if that helps.
You could actually probably get this onto a state-wide ballot as a measure to be voted on in Oregon. The bar to get things on the ballot isn't particularly high.
Low demand is the issue. I highly doubt he want this private, but I dont doubt he wants people to think he's so confident he wants it private.

Demand dropping and margins will go down like a normal car company. And thats if you believe the margins, some people starting to think they're hiding a lot of opex as capex
Same here. I just wish I could convince my parents too as well. They're still using beat up 20 year old tupperware
Kinda ironic that big city dwellers are buying larger and larger trucks every year just to take them on grocery shopping runs while rural farm workers are moving in the opposite direction for actual hauling.
Before I got hit with long covid, I was in the best shape of my life, and was doing all of those things on that list. I was running 1.5 miles and exercising several days a week.

It absolutely didn't prevent me from experiencing long covid.
One of the most highly upvoted Reddit posts on /r/fuckcars mocks large pickups compared to the utility of a kei truck.

https://reddit.com/r/fuckcars/comments/sdrgv3/japanese_truck...

A kei truck has about 90% the bed length of a pickup while being a lot more nimble. The lower bed is more ergonomic to load and unload too.
>You can have very fast results by getting more poll workers. It's not that big of a deal, as people willing to work the polls scale with the number of voters.

Thats a lot of overhead and costs that is not going to fly with voters.

Well that explains it. You do not fully understand the "election night frenzy" that occurs every four years in the US.

I've seen some very questionable old jeeps cruising around that I suspect were Mahindra's with a CJ2 tub on them.
Must be somewhere in the flatlands then. The small(er) truck market is dominated by Toyota, Nissan and Chevrolets and Ford Rangers. Mavericks are mostly city-dweller mom-mobiles at best.
Why would they be illegal? Surely Oregon has "small cars"
I haven't written C++ in many years, so I don't feel qualified to comment on C++.

However, I have been writing Swift, every single day, since June, 2014, so I may have a bit more authority, there.

In this post, I describe a rather subtle bug that can happen, because of the differences between inheritance and interface: https://littlegreenviper.com/miscellany/swiftwater/the-curio...

It's actually something that happens to me fairly often, because I do mix them. I have learned to recognize it, when it happens. The best "cure," is to not use protocol defaults for properties and functions that I want to be implemented by inheritance hierarchies.
It wasn't engineering research, it was pure computer science. They published papers, attended conferences, etc. The other team, whom I personally interacted with more were engaged in solution design. They would have a goal (e.g. alpha go) and architect a solution for that specific problem. The two teams were somewhat orthogonal from what I recall.
It's a shame that Roxor isn't street legal. We live about 2 miles from our city's downtown. I'd absolutely love to have a little car that I take into town.
Which I'm assuming is different than a big ass-hole in the ground? (with concrete.)
Amazing. Then as far as I’m concerned that functionally solves the problem until the industry figures out cross-embedding jumps
I presume you're not in USA - I can't imagine being allowed to import the Mahindra copy-paste Jeep into USA. Those clones are so blatant... Wish they added some more Indian flair to them. I can't believe jeep still bothered to enter the Indian market with that on the roads!
Ethnonym versus toponym; they are not the same.
You probably won’t fit more than 2 kids in a gigantic pickup truck either. And you’ll mostly see them empty apart from the driver anyway.
Why? What do you care what he drives?
Great platform, but is the unlimited part viable? Sounds expensive
Seems to work best in Firefox.
45-55 out here, realistic speeds are about the same because flat ground is at a premium.
> most certainly didn’t reach its planned max q

One usually throttles down around max Q, so it's unclear from outside.

> rest with nozzles dented by rocks at ground escape velocity

Now we're speculating beyond the data. (Actually, we have counterfactual data: it reached max Q. That doesn't happen if you have mis-shaped nozzles causing flow separation.)
The objection isn't that they're trying things that won't work, it's that they're not trying things. An example would be pointing out that other studies which obtained funding almost 2 years years later than the NIH have already recruited a panel of patients.

I'm all for being deliberate and getting things right, but if your procedures are so elaborate that you're not getting anything done, maybe they're flawed.
Should have accepted Bitcoin or crypto and moved hosting to a more crypto friendly country? Sounds like an ideal use case for decentralized payments if I ever saw one.
They drove big station wagons.
Google has to be freaked out at the rapidity with which OpenAI and Microsoft are taking their generative language models into various markets. Look at the way Microsoft is (fairly successfully) grabbing attention-share through the efforts of Peter Lee and others in healthcare with GPT-4, e.g. - Google is floundering in comparison (despite having a huge head start, particular through DeepMind). I don't know that I'm convinced Microsoft can actually make good on the promises they are suggesting, but it's be a daft bet on Google's part to assume they can't.
Someone mentioned caching elsewhere, maybe you're viewing a hotlinked imgur picture in the same browser you use to later visit "the page", so it's cached as a raw image.

You could try opening the URL from a different browser? For example my main use case is clicking "Show Original" on Discord, so when it opens in my browser, the first visit is not in the context of an img tag.
I'm reminded of runaway trolleys.
> Also, how is incitement to SUPPORT a person harassment?

The obvious example would be a propaganda image to garner support for Adolf Hitler, in a way that doesn't fall under harassment of other groups. It's (probably intentionally) worded such that it can apply to any controversial figure that Imgur's administration dislikes, though.
Some commenters on HN and Twitter were curious how I made the spinning diagrams in a previous thing I wrote, so 8 months later I finally wrote down an explanation.

I see them about as much as I see the Hyundai equivalent, and they all appear to be owned by folks that live in the local capital city.
In the US Kei cars/trucks are handled differently by each state. We had to vote to get them approved to drive into the cities here once enough farmers had them and kept begging for the laws to change. Although for us it stems from having them imported as farm equipment.
This is amazing! I just played through a text adventure game that probably would've taken a skilled human a week to make, not including the artwork. Incredible!

I'm having trouble using my own URL with it. I'm trying to generate a text adventure from a blog post I wrote about air quality (christian.gen.co/air) but
`https://infinityarcade.com/https://christian.gen.co/air` redirects to `https://infinityarcade.com/generate?prompt_text=https%3A%2F%...` and then infinitely hangs.
Yeah, news organizations weren't in such a fight for there lives when that idea/branding was conceived.

But they really should have renamed it. Would that be so hard?
Here’s an example of fake news with a touch of racism https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/juliareinstein/popeyes-...
The family followed up and said this was nothing to do with a fried chicken sandwich. They did not correct the story (apart from to correct the location of the store which was also wrong).
Is the intention to have tech workers do this during a short break or before, after work?

Seeing the iconography of women in yoga clothes invokes “workout” which means “I do this before/after work” and “I need to change out of my work clothes.”
Wow, my dad runs some apartments and he's always buzzing random stuff from one place to another. He complains all the time that pickup trucks keep getting bigger and harder to use for day-to-day tasks. Seems like something like this would be perfect.

Why is the NIH going to be less effective than the private market at allocating research funding? Funding scientific research is a great example of a problem markets don't solve well for the exact reasons you describe. Most research doesn't lead to tangible progress (or financial reward) not because the researchers are all idiots, but because you have to try a bunch of things and a lot of them won't work, especially with poorly understood novel phenomena. Markets will instead allocate funding to the least-adventurous surest bets. That argument aside, when you allow wealthy people to dictate the direction of scientific research, you're essentially subsidizing their individual research preferences using public money (the wealthy get to take a tax deduction for contributions to their foundations).
Yes, it seems to be enforced by a few assert statements in the code.
Are researchers actually frustrated to never see it launch, or are they mostly focused on publishing papers?

I thought OpenAI’s unique advantage over many big tech companies is that they’ve somehow figured out how to fast track research into product, or have researchers much more willing to worry about “production”.
I disagree (and I actually do have a degree in mechanical engineering). Success and failure is not binary. There is always an expectation range. If your result is at the bottom of that range, it is more of a failure, if it is at the upper end it is more of a success. Usually, in an iterative development process your result will be within the range, and in this case it is, too.

The minimum goal was to get the ship off the pad and not having it explode near it. The maximum goal was to achieve separation of stage 1 and reaching orbit. Discussing why the maximum goal was not reached has nothing to do with negativity, but is the natural thinking of an egineer who mainly tries to solve problems. So we naturally think about the ignition failure of some of the engines. Was is caused by the (obviously larger than expected) damage of the launch pad? Or is there a problem with reliability of the engines? Also, will the damage of the launch pad cause a delay for the next start? How can this be improved? These are all things that we are trying to find answers for fro our armchairs.
Maybe it's heavily biased towards programming and computing questions? I've tested GPT-4 on numerous physics stuff and it fails spectacularly at almost all of them. It starts to hallucinate egregious stuff that's completely false, misrepresents articles it tries to quote as references etc. It's impressive as a glorified search engine in those cases but can't at all be trusted to explain most things unless they're the most canonical curriculum questions.

This extreme difficulty in discerning what it hallucinates and what is "true" is what it's most obvious problem is. I guess it can be fixed somehow but right now it has to be heavily fact-checked manually.

It does this for computing questions as well, but there is some selection bias so people tend to post the success-stories and not the fails. However it's less dangerous if it's in computing as you'll notice it immediately so maybe require less manual labour to keep it in check.
Very nice! Maybe would be nice to have some different options, like a 5, 10 and 15 minute course and maybe some variance with different courses on different days of the week.
