If you're interested in a critical review of FOCAL (which is also rather interesting) - https://arxiv.org/pdf/1604.06351.pdf

I am on the "this is a really hard problem - but an interesting one" category. It seems like it will take a number of significant improvements on top of current technology - but it seems like it would be doable in another few decades if we continue to improve (the difference between Pioneer and New Horizons is 35 years... if we can do that much improvement again we might have something).

It is still something that if you are a grad student working on it now, it would launch when you retire, and your grad students when you retire - when they retire, it is their grad students who would be doing analysis of the data.

I tend to believe this would be a good thing to do because it would be working on that time frame and getting us to think about projects that will run for a century rather than a budget cycle.
GitHub Actions Deployment Protection Rules, now in public beta
We've been working on it for https://forth.news -- essentially a newsfeed for news.

The thinking is that in the old days, when you had a print newspaper, there were ads and articles, but they were completely decoupled. You could read an article, or just the headline, or just glance at a photo, but regardless, you would see the ads. Now, of course, you have to decide to click through.

BUT -- and this is the key part -- the newspaper-style ads still exist, they just exist upstream in the flow, and giving the revenue to the aggregators, not the people doing the reporting. (It also leads to incredibly misaligned incentives between the aggregators and the publishers, leading to things like clickbait...)

Our hope is to be able to close that loop, share the revenue from in-feed ads with the reporting partners, and try to get away from the Facebook/Google/Twitter/etc model.
and in the same page there is user comment that says:

This non-profit is not a scam. They have done some well documented work to protect the Las Piedras Region, they are running a ranger program covering 55,000+ acres of rainforest working with the local communities and have partner with established philanthropies. See for instance the involvement of Age Of Union: https://www.ageofunion.com/feature/film-the-heart-of-a-missi... or some of the features about the work on ABC: https://youtu.be/8FAbqkaI9HY

Criticism is useful, but perhaps researching thoroughly before make wild claims like these can help. I invite people to do their own research.

Why can't you just be satisfied and just bask in the warm glow of SpaceX like the rest of this thread?

In all seriousness I don't follow space stuff much so I give the benefit of the doubt when 99% of posters give rave reviews... but I also know who is in charge of this company and the same thing was happening with Tesla a few years ago with every announcement/demo getting 99% of HN people giddy and just a few shouted down people saying "but..."
A rocket is a structure designed to be as light as possible while containing as much energy as possible.

That combination is inherently explosive in any sort of failure.

Historically we can see that there are two modes of rocket development when it comes to failure tolerance. 1. Iterate fast and blow stuff up (e.g. mercury/redstone, spacex) or 2. Iterate slowly, at massive cost, with fewer catastrophic failures (space shuttle, Apollo, SLS).

When it comes to safety, the slow and expensive route has a dubious track record. Of course, slow and expensive is producing much more complex vehicles, until today, at least.

That's one answer, but my point is that asking the question and forming an answer is basic development.
MDMA is an amphetamine, like many ADHD medication, so it is not that much of a stretch to think that it can work.

And to answer the "but you can't patent an old molecule", in fact, yes you can. Adderall is plain old amphetamine, but with a specific ratio of the D and L type, so it could be patented. The pharmaceutical industry is adept at making small tweaks to existing drugs, a supposed improvement according to their own studies, but most importantly, a way to get a patent.
Reddit has been all over the spectrum politically over the years. It started out with techno-libertarians, then edgy internet atheists, then was arguably the home of donald trump's alt-right campaign (and similar r/european), and then when they got banned some of them spread into other subreddits, so some are surprisingly right wing political, and some of them went off to voat and truth social etc.
Isn't this the entire reason you shouldn't use the stack for large amounts of data? Stacks unwind, so you can't pass around pointers to it. And the stack is fast because it's often mostly in CPU cache, but that won't be true if you have 100 megs sitting there. This is what the heap is for, it has nothing to do with Rust itself.

(everything I said could be wrong, I'm not a compiler guy, I just didn't feel like qualifying every single statement)
I get what you're saying, and I've basically only done the "cowboy-style drop acid/MDMA/shrooms in random settings" and sorted my shit out that way (well, some of it, at least) myself, and honestly, it's worked out pretty well for me.

But I've also met a few folks that have been deeply traumatized by bad trips - one particularly painful example is someone who saw a friend he loved fall to her death whilst tripping on shrooms.

Responsible tripping is important. There's a reason trip-sitters, good setting, etc are generally recommended.

and the last bit 'get out of here nerd' was really uncalled for. You make yourself look... ungentlemanly at best. I'd go as far as saying you just made yourself seem like an absolute twat, but I'm sure you're a kind person deep down and maybe you're just upset by 'the man' co-opting your edgy lifestyle choices like a hipster upset by his/her favorite band becoming popular and this is how you express that :3

If this helps people heal their trauma and have nicer lives, I think we should support, not everyone can be cool kids with easy access to drugs like us ;)
If they don't have the launchpad designed to not cause all of these issues, why do you think the rest is designed correctly?
Okay, so you're not saying it has to be expensive, but almost the opposite? Perfect and slapdash have similar production cost, so properly designed rockets will all be just about perfect?

In 1989 when I was part-time IT staff at Århus University, CS. Dept. we had to turn down a professor who requested doing exactly this with his Sun workstation (it might have been possible, but we didn't have the resources to support it).

My only requirement for my first personal PC (T1800, 386/sx, 4 MiB, monochrome) was that it could run True Emacs (on Linux) - I could certainly have used this, but `exec emacs` achieves nearly the same.
This is was the reason for the Opium Wars with the English. The English wanted Chinas tea but the Chinese didn't want anything from the English so the English were bleeding gold and silver into China.

So the English forced Opium onto the people of China against the will of the King of China. China rebelled, the English conquered and forced the Chinese to open their ports and accept Indian-grown opium as trade for Chinese tea.

That continued until the English found the secret plants that made the Chinese tea. They stole those plants and planted them in India.

> Unless you are writing C without libraries, you are almost certainly dealing with a language rich in datastructures that easily reduce big oh notation while clearly communicating intent.

Just to name it, I’m increasingly finding myself in positions where off the shelf data structures don’t solve the problems I have. I’m writing a novel CRDT for collaborative text editing. Some data structures I’ve needed:

- A generic run-length encoded vector that I can append to and binary search.

- A generic run-length encoded b-tree which indexes by the current total length of the sub tree.

- A gap buffer which stores run-length encoded items. Items can be split by a freshly inserted item. And each item has an array of states with a size set when the data structure is created. I might end up moving to a skip list of gap buffers.

Needing a lot of custom data structures is pretty rare. And if I was forced to, I could probably cobble together something that would perform well enough on top of the built in container classes. But doing it all custom is fun. My performance results justify the approach - my system performs orders of magnitude better than any other implementation.
That one's pretty easy to disprove though. Just have a computer solve a random NP-complete problem and then verify it by hand.
Come on, you have karma to spare, I'm dying to know.
It comes down to self-interest and the balance of power, not morals or human rights or any form of idealism that acts as a soft control of the masses.

Corporations are a faceless entity with tremendous power, both to harm and to benefit.

The average individual lacking comparative capital or influence has no weapon with which to fight and no gift which which to bribe.

Government, the monopolist of violence, wields its power accordingly. Why would it extinguish a benefactor when it can simply crack the whip to keep them in line and remind them of whose hand is on the whip in the first place? Whereas, the larger set of powerless individuals are handled brutally, not because it’s best but simply because it’s expedient and without consequence to the power-holder.

A secondary benefit, intentionally achieved by the most insidious of governments, is that the extinguishment of minor troublemakers removes the seeds from which a population might grow to realize their own latent power via cooperative “trouble-making”.

I'm not a psychologist, but intuitively, most trauma seem to have an element of helplessness in them. Being able to defend yourself and your loved ones with guns would therefore cause less trauma than having to wait for police to come, or just being hurt/seeing a loved one
hurt/murdered in front of you.

Still, we're stepping deep into the speculation area here, so I won't stand behind this argument very strongly.
Imo Katyal wouldn't meet the same stakes I'm suggesting are present for Grewal.

Katyal is famous for being an advocate at the highest level - arguing zealously for his clients in high stakes scenarios. Grewal is different: he is famous for being a neutral third party (a judge) in high stakes scenarios. Judges are respected in a different way from lawyers. They're expected to be above reproach, basically. And now one is arguing on behalf of Coinbase.

We hear all the time about promising kickstarters that fail and everyone just nods their heads in agreement that "shipping hardware is hard". And surely it is. But yet, here was one guy shipping thousands of custom-designed modern-ish computers to hobbyists and businesses around the world at a very fair price for multiple decades.

I have had an APU2C4 acting as my firewall (running OpnSense) at home for the past few years. It's been pretty a pretty good little box. My singular complaint is that the CPU has always been much slower than I'd like. Standard firewall functionality works fine, but doing any admin stuff involving package management takes ages, even with an SSD.

I'm not sure what I will replace it with when the time comes. Despite talk of alternatives in these comments, there is nothing on the market that checks all of the same boxes that the APU2 does: 1) AMD64 2) fanless 3) low power 4) multiple interfaces 5) under $200.

How does that work with logs? Logs are often... Huge? How many lines of logs can you paste? Because if I first need to narrow down the log to the problematic part, I kinda already have my problem right there no?

Or do you mean I do something like grab the lines with "error" in the log, hoping there aren't too many, then ask ChatGPT what it thinks about this:

None of the above "gun violence"/"senseless violence" things given as reasons for gun control happen to my family on a regular basis either. By your logic I should question the choice of gun control .
Your comment was dead when I got to it - I disagree with your words but vouched because I think being skeptical is valuable (terms and conditions may apply, etc).

I can't personally attest to this but another commenter mentioned that this was what the soviets did as part of a space race with a smaller budget.

You should note that success rate is crucial once you are in production and ready to go - judging overall success against that bar while developing and testing is nonsense.

Finally - I think everyone learns faster by trying more things and making more mistakes? I wouldnt blame you for wanting to see that studied - kind of a neat question after all - but it seems like you are assuming one method or another was picked because it was superior as opposed to a reality of material constraints.

I feel like if NASA had budget for blowing up more rockets to prove/disprove points that they would be doing so. Actually now that I say it out loud I can't imagine anyone choosing 'not rocket'.

Kinda sorta. There's not an exact equivalence. We don't punish every crime with the death penalty. Also, there are a lot more people than there are hard disk manufactures. "Nuking" a hard disk manufacture over a violation to deter others has a lot more downsides for the national community (let's make WD a monopoly as a deterrent?) than "nuking" a person for a violation.

Yep. The ability and willingness of banks and payment processors to play morality police is a perfect case study in the utility of cryptocurrencies. They ain't perfect, but "inconvenient to turn this payment into dollars to pay bills" is a considerable improvement over "no payment at all", and the sibling comments poo-pooing over said inconvenience are missing the point and letting perfect be the enemy of good.

That's a double edged sword.

If Boeing begins the design of a new plane now, they would be planning on finding customers in 10 years who expect to use the planes for the following 20.

But in 5 years we should have a good sense of whether Starship is viable. If it is, then 10 years from now Boeing won't have a market.

Even if you give Elon only a modest chance of success, it makes sense to stretch out the sales cycle for existing planes and delay starting new development for 5 years.
The good thing about Prop 13 in cases like this is most real property (including most commercial real property) is taxed at a basis value so far below its actually fair market value that even a sale realizing a sizable loss from its former paper value is often only a small hit to the tax rolls (and can actually be a boon, resetting the tax basis above what it was, given the limited increases without a change in ownership.)

One thing I've been curious about -- but not enough to actually run through the disassembly yet -- is the performance of Rust matching on enums vs C/C++ switch statement -- in particular in e.g. a 'bytecode' interpreter loop.

C compilers do a pretty good job of optimizing these into something pretty efficient, and I imagine it helps that the size of the case values is constant, and it can be turned by the compiler into either a jump table lookup or an unrolled jmp depending on size, etc.

Rust enums, in contrast, can be variable sized at match time. And the elements can be nested a few levels deep. The obvious way to write an opcode execution loop in Rust -- a pattern match over an enum of opcodes -- I'm curious if this can be made to perform as well as in C/C++.

(I've been writing a virtual machine interpreter loop and so have a modest interest in seeing how this kind of thing, though I'm not optimizing for performance yet, so)

Don't see any explicit mention of this in this document.

Most cargo planes are expected to run out of civilian airports where a failure could result in debris launching themselves into populated vehicles or buildings. In contrast a crop duster launching off a dirt runway and expected to go no more faster than highway speeds actually can be built fairly loose, and often are. For example, this duster here [1] won a award in the 70s for innovations like a "pressurized cockpit" and "air conditioning".

We don't know what the intention or internal expectation was. What we have are public statements, which are generally more conservative in order that every success be an amazing surprise, every failure an expected event. What SpaceX was internally hoping for, what they were aiming for, and the details of what actually happened will remain a mystery for a while.

I disagree with the "masked" framing. _Actually talking to each other_ is fairly difficult for a lot of people and even a lot of relatively happy couples. Managing to do that in a productive fashion may take a very good night's sleep, or a lot of coffee, or a few beers, or some MDMA, or post-coital neurochemical rush, or whatever else. As long as it happens, you've had the conversation. If it went well and you got somewhere and did a thing or mutually understand a problem or whatever, it was a success.

Tools are tools. My inability to ram a nail into a wall with my thumb isn't being "masked" by my use of a hammer, and while I might get better at it with practice and better thumb technique that wouldn't be a more valid solution.
