I see what you're saying. To me the conversation was more about "should individual consumers worry about their carbon impact while there are much bigger idustrial polluters?"

As I understood it regulating the ships is made difficult because they stay in international waters and off-load their cargoes onto small ships for the last leg of the deliveries. The companies maximise their profits because that's what companies do. If you have ideas about how to regulate against their pollution I'd (genuinely) be very glad to hear them.

With the meat thing, I basically look at purchasing as voting. If you buy goods shipped from around the world and you understand what that means from a pollution perspective then you're effectively voting for it to continue happening.

Personally I try to consider these things when making decisions. Not everyone is in the position to have the time or opportunity to look for alternatives and that's fine, but personally I find having that luxury and not taking it to be morally questionable.
It was planned to leave the tower with 3 engines turned off. During flight two more engines appear to have flamed out (shut down).

Starship is unique in that it has so many engines, which add redundancy. They can (re)start engines mid-flight.

With the loss of 5 engines, this demo flight would have been fine. Though they will have some work to do on reliability.
> Huawei even let the UK secret service inspect Huawei networking gear, e.g. [1, 2, 3]. They only found badly written software, which is hardly unusual.

Which, by the way, is the perfect cover for a backdoor, because it's deniable.

Furthermore, even if you're looking for a back door, there's no guarantee you were actually looking in the right place (for an example, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(listening_device))

> A much more likely explanation for the US sanction on Huawei is simply anti-competitive measures.

No, it's 100% geopolitical maneuvering. IIRC, US companies don't even sell competing equipment in many of the relevant areas. You don't need "evidence" of a backdoor in order to distrust something.
"an era of psychedelic medicine"

these platitudes are deceiving

sure, some people will get an advantage from these treatments

never the less, this is no revolution. in US during the early 80s we had MDMA being made in huge quantities and being consumed in clubs, in addition to therapists using it in guided sessions.

for 40 years since, the likes of rick doblin and his associates have been trying to push for this treatment. the reason the government is now seriously considering this is because of the needs of combat veterans. it works for PTSD where nothing else in the pharmacopeia does. there are very strong psychedelics like 5-meo-dmt and ibogaine and to some degree ayahuasca and mushrooms that work perhaps even better. that's basically it for treating serious mental problems in post-combat vets. for many people in those extreme mental health crisis situations, they are coming to private clinics outside of the USA to receive these treatments, the government needs to fix this situation because it's ridiculous.

despite all this, the use case for MDMA and other psychedelics in the general population is less well understood. certainly, we should explore it, and perhaps it will help to improve our relationships with these drugs in general to have a positive, healthy way to use them that steers them us the right direction. at least, a framework that we can reference.

i just don't know that all of this is going to be "an era" or a revolution or whatever people have in their minds. mental health in this country is at al all time low as far as i can tell. if we can even make a dent, that's great. if we start to improve some previously unfixable situations for people, great. we'll need our best abilities to get through what's coming next.

as an aside, rick doblin took almost 40 years to do what peter thiel's company did in 4.
This assumes it matters to anyone who isn't an academic or HN geek.
I don't think there is real historical footage, so this might do:

The Chief Twit said "anything other than blowing up the launch pad is a success."
However, it looks like there was widespread damage to the launch facilities due to concrete flying everywhere.

In my inexpert opinion these sanctions create pressure for China to enter or expand into the sanctioned markets and thereby create more competition with American companies. It seems very short sighted.
> You aren't bothered by the fact that making this change in such a sudden way could very well lead to a significant increase in suffering and death of people?

For reasons unrelated to AI (climate mostly), I think that failing to make this change soon will also lead to a significant increase in suffering. And, precedent leads me to believe that suddenly is the only way we'll ever manage to make it.

It's like we're asleep at the wheel with the lane assist on, but no brakes. Maybe waking up is uncomfortable but it's still worth doing. If we don't gain control of the financial abstractions that tell us how to behave sooner or later, we're doomed anyway.

I'm not much of an AI enthusiast. It's a useful trinket, and it's fun to extrapolate on where it could go. What I like most about it is that it maybe has the capacity to shock us into collective action in novel ways, because if so, it would be long overdue.

It sounds like you're proposing that we attempt to dampen the shock and limit the scope of who ends up unemployed. But technology has been doing this for centuries.

A) The point of technology (I think) was to eliminate drudgery. Whenever one group or another spoke up about us having eliminated too much drudgery, we didn't stop. We're now in a position to be eliminating our own jobs. I think it's a little disingenuous to change our tune at this point. Doing so would be admitting that it was never about eliminating drudgery and was instead just about jockeying for position in society. I'm not comfortable with taking that position. I don't want to win, I want to change the game.

B) We know what gradual change of this sort looks like. Everybody who is still employed pats the new have-nots on the head and says "sorry 'bout your luck" and smugly moves on into a life where their net worth is now higher than the even more of the plebes.

This thing we're doing, it divides us like that. If we must jockey for position in society, then let that position be justified by having done things that help people (which is not what we're doing--it's currently far easier to get ahead by doing more harm than good).

> In order to change it, we need to decide to do so as a society.

Agreed, but we don't do things like that except in response to change. So if the decision needs to happen, then we aren't helping by withholding the change.

So let it be a discontinuity, a shock to the system. Let it happen so fast that we have no choice but to collectively change our ways. Because however hard that's going to be now, is only going to be harder in the future when we have even more people to harm with the fallout that will come with updating our obsolete practices.

Ripping the bandaid off suddenly and soon is the most ethical choice.
I work at a tech company that purports to build the metaverse. Initially they allowed people to go remote. Now they are walking back on it and asking people that don't want to return to take a package. A quite sad story of someone who has a few months old baby at home. They moved to a different city since their manager approved it. Now they have to be back in the Bay Area 3 days a week (in the middle of the week) since their remote application got denied. Literally forcing a parent to be away from their baby (or be jobless).
It is. The Falcon 9, of which there have been hundreds of launches already, costs $60 Million per launch. And somehow Musk thinks he can make a rocket that is 10 times bigger 30 times cheaper? Wishful thinking. Best case imho is that they take the launch cost down to about 200M-ish over the next 15 years. That's a cost of $1000/kg and sounds about right to me.
Brazilian health care system? Better than the USA? You gotta be kidding me.
True enough, although most of those tracts would be dreadfully short by modern standards; the Aeneid waa around 130k words -- compared to 80k for the first Harry Potter and 485k for the fourth Stormlight Archive -- and the 8 books of Caesar's Gallic Wars were 5-15k words a pop.

Assuming ancient readers were as proficient as modern ones, "reading every book available" was a reasonable ambition back then, and you were almost certainly limited by money and availability more than time.
My guess was for this flight it was "once off the pad, we will fly as long as it doesn't leave the envelope" since it's all about data collection.
There was another view at the pad that had sizable bits of what looked like rock or concrete flying past it, camera went off line when the vehicle had barely left the ground. See the bottom right panel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhJRzQsLZGg
On paper, yes. In reality however? People care a lot about what is written online.

"The man, who is now in his early 70s, told the court that he believes potential clients have backed out of deals because they saw the post, adding that his career, which had previously been marked by success, began to spiral.

Two friends testified they refused to use their influence to help him find jobs because they worried the post would make those efforts fruitless.

His personal relationships also suffered, including those with his two sons, the ruling said.

One son testified that his girlfriend’s parents declined to meet his father because of the defamatory internet posts. The son said that after he experienced high-profile success, people would tell him they searched his name on Google and asked him about the post involving his father."
Archive.is does embed links to mail.ru but that requires javascript. The site itself does not require javascript which is why I suppose I never really notice it. I could see firewall vendors flagging it for that reason.

It probably wasn't AI at all. That magazine has just about 25,000 subscribers, so you can guess the quality of their journalism. Out of their authors most likelike just made it up and put the "AI" label on it to make it "more exciting".
It's amazing how literally every major copyright proponent doesn't really care about the things that actually make copyright possible - the actual works themselves. Time and time again, they've shown disrespect for authors and creators when they treat works as a means to an end. They're not in it for the art of it, they're in it for the money of it.

This has been happening for almost a century at this point, just in the realm of moving pictures. Never forget the entire Dumont library being dumped in the upper New York Bay just because they didn't want to store them.
The three main talking points here are (1) mtf in female sports, (2) mtf in women’s only physical spaces, and (3) children undergoing irreversible operations that they may later regret. The first two indeed involve a co flick of interest, granted not one that’s generally physically hurtful.
Well said. On the other hand, the SLS — having a launch escape system and not requiring sophisticated acrobatics in order to reach land safely — is totally the ship I'd rather be on.
The test was a massive success. So happy to see starship clear the towers. The largest rocket ever built, larger than the Saturn V. Are you kidding me?

edit: wow, if your link (i.e. the song) was AI-derived (and thus not-copyrightable) then I am gd speechless. Smooth background, great vocals — lyrics too, of course — but wowsers, my tenant was just realizing that "the AI shit you been talking non-stop about is actually real: DRAKE is upset, shit is crazy!"

So, that and this and these are interesting datapoints upon insanity.timeline.
The last paragraph of the article shows how it is an outlier in terms of which groups can be targeted with harassment:

"Twitter hasn’t completely pulled protections for trans users, however. Its Hateful Conduct Policy still explicitly prohibits attacking others based on “race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease,” but the choice to intentionally remove all mention of misgendering and deadnaming seems like a calculated jab at the trans community."
China already has been doing that. No need to help them do that.
A judge can in fact do that, by giving (to both sides) about what evidence is going to be admissible, and what lines of questioning are going to be considered in-bounds. Both sides do their pre-trial maneuvering, and then they can make an estimation of how the trial is likely to go. Then both sides have a pretty good idea what the landscape really is (and they know that the other side knows it to). Negotiation often happens at that point.

The judge didn't force the settlement - just let people on both sides figure out what the range of likely outcomes was. Then both sides chose to give up their best-case outcome in order to avoid their worst-case outcome.
Silverlight had this. It was a bad idea, then. Its still a bad idea.
hey! those meetings were confidential!

Karl Popper wasn't, strictly speaking, American:

The underlying theme is that a non-optimal system that nevertheless minimizes chances of tyranny and/or violence is better than say a society ruled by philosopher kings. So it's not so much that "more awful things is a clear indicator that we have more freedom", but rather that a system that takes it upon itself to stamp out "more awful things" (per whose definition?) will ultimately diminish freedom for all, and various "awful things" are certain to follow.

It is a matter that is still subject to debate. What is your solution?
> Version 8 has been plagued with various bugs with editing, scrolling, sync and stability issues on the Mac and iOS apps.

FWIW: I was a very vocal complainer about v8 issues and was actively searching for alternatives. However, v8 finally doesn't suck and I'm satisfied for now. I'm hoping they learned a bunch of lessons from that completely botched launch.
They’re competing directly with Microsoft (and getting crushed) because GitHub is their biggest competitor, so it makes sense that they wouldn’t want to use OpenAI products.

Agree that Ghostwriter is subpar though.
The author opens up the article saying it was a null routed server issue and he didn't have time or resources to fix it. Maybe that's a new edit from after you read it.
Not known, as SpaceX is a private company, and the rocket is still being developed. But I'd say a whole lot less than $2B per launch ;-)
Yes, I have already seen women be victims of these false-likeness AI pornographies. I know that HN sits in a safe bubble and will gloss over the dangers because it's "not real" but the damage done is real. The effects on the victims are real and have real world consequences for these people which can potentially be fatal.

I know that technology is often a double edged sword. I can be in favour of auto-transport, for example, while still supporting research into seat belts and crumple zones.

> AI safetyism (aka pantywaistism) is a joke.

I don't know what these are, sorry. I feel like I'm making a valid point based on my observations and you're attempting to discredit that by associating my view with more extreme groups.
LLM based autonomous agents remind me a lot of Leonard from the movie Memento. In the movie, Leonard is trying desperately to find the murderer of his wife, but he has one big problem - he can no longer build new memories. So, he needs to develop a system for storing new knowledge and then retrieving the relevant bits every time he formulates a plan for what to do next. Throughput the movie, Leonard makes a number of missteps because his system for recording and retrieving knowledge from this external memory system is imperfect. The movie is very well done.
I think America is too vast and diverse to be described that way. Your description doesn't at all describe the no-gaudiness humble-behavior expected in most white, mid-western communities. Utilitarian individualism doesn't at all describe the vast swarth of America's most religious peoples. E.g. The Amish, the Johovah's Witness, Fundamentalists, Mormons, etc.
No one knows what chaos theory is anymore? Everything that happens in a complex system must have been planned, right?
Stockholm syndrome. At a startup, both were chosen. Why? Because that's what everyone used at their past employers. Also, is it worth the time investigating and debating which alternatives to use? If you are small, you probably have way more important things to attend to. If you are big, it's probably too late to change.
The reason why it is a problem for the airline industry is that first class tickets are essential to their business model.

The problem they have is that there is a large fixed cost to flying the plane from A to B, and a small marginal cost of adding you and your luggage to the plane. All airline tickets cover that marginal cost, but they vary in how much of the fixed cost they cover. The minority of expensive first class tickets carry a very large fraction of the fixed cost. Effectively they subsidize the rest of us.

If those people go elsewhere, then you aren't covering the fixed cost of the flight. And now everyone else has to pay a lot more. Which makes the pool of people less.
I loved the excitement and the cheering of the crew more than anything. Those folks did a good job.

And that is fine. It's a good motivator to provide a great product.

I will never see anyone here complaining about the video game industry... The whole video games industry is pretty much a drug for a lot of mental issues. In fact all of the recreational activities have similar mental condition boosting effects.
Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it.
"Waste" is a confusing word. The climate impacts are on the production side.

People talk about cleaning your plate to not waste food, but it's already wasted the moment you are served more than you need, and if you then eat it, you might be actively harming your health depending on the volume involved, and we all know that eating twice as much today won't make you half as hungry tomorrow.

We mostly have refrigeration now. Leftovers can go in the fridge. Storing energy reserves is the fridges job, we don't need to store body fat for the winter as long as we've got food preservation.

If you aren't hungry and have all your nutritional needs already met, any additional food served, eaten or not, is pretty much waste.

And a lot of the food is pretty much always wasted, because it's as good as straight up poison.
I am not following how Make is a replacement for npx.

Npx is just for us lazy command-line users who can't be bothered to make sure a Node package is installed before trying to run a command, right? Make would either have to run npx itself, or you'd have to make sure the package you want to run was installed before running its command, in which case you can skip npx... but that's the same with or without make.
most things you have to build incrementally or you'll go insane trying to debug it.

While it does exist as an option, I'm not entirely convinced any significant number of the weapons they retain function. Their military seems to be in shambles. They have so many nuclear weapons that certainly at least a handful are usable, but how would they know what weapons function?
Trolls, professional marketers, reputation management firms, social media "influencers," and even just social media "power users" who don't rise to the level of "influencer" are all known do this. This is a vast minority of users thanks to the Pareto principle and power laws. However, I suspect that the majority of posts you see on the front page of pretty much every social media app have had some degree of "help" from things like this.

One Reddit user, Unidan, was famously banned for doing this with 12 accounts, and in retrospect, this sort of scheme may have "made" his success - his replies showed up as the top comment a lot (even when they were not insightful) and it got him significant name recognition.
Antidepressants and adderall are very different beasts
Otherwise we'd be like fish out of water.
I'm wondering this as well and I haven't seen a sufficiently good explanation yet. I know they've done audits of different kinds over the years, I've read up about their infrastructure and the way they run their services, but I don't realistically see any of that being enough of an argument, right there on the spot, when the police turn up with a warrant. What could they possibly have demonstrated and how?
Sounds like he moved the goalpost.
That might have been the flight plan. When drawing these up you don’t typically mark down "experiences an unexpected rapid disassembly a few minutes after launch.”
space, launching and building rockets is hard. very hard.
Surreal. Cheering after a failure and forced smiles with shaky voices from moderators afterwards.
I wonder if there's enough demand for a good, free image host that someone could make one that ran completely on community donations. There are plenty of podcasts on Patreon that pull in tens of thousands of dollars per month just from like $5-$20 monthly pledges. That should be enough to not only cover costs but pay devs. Could even give some perks to backers if it was some incentive.
