Yeah, the main difference between humans and LLMs here is that there are a lot more distinct humans wuth different specific vulnerabilities (and humans are continuously retraining on their experience, shifting their vulnerabilities over time), whereas with LLMs you have a small number of distinct static configurations that attackers can adapt to without the target adapting.
Noticed a password issue yesterday but just assumed I typed it incorrectly.
Anyone have a sense of just how much of a success or failure this was? THe way I understand it, getting the rocket off the launchpad was a major milestone. It seems they almost got to stage 2 separation.
Do you not live on the west coast? There's literally free heroin clinics all over.

Well, RIP that Starship. Does anyone understand/have theories on what failed? All I can find is that it had an RUD between liftoff and first stage separation.
In practice, and perhaps because of this, the pronunciation of "starboard" is heavy on the "star", with the latter part ending up more like "brd" or "b'd". Indeed, you can find the word written as "starb'd".
A good starting place might be the inability to afford the very treatments and medications being studied by a large portion of the population.
The first stage seemed to work pretty well up to the point where the second stage was supposed to separate but then the whole rocket started tumbling.

Stage separation is a tricky problem. So is the problem of getting the fuel and oxidizer to flow through the complex network of pipes to feed all those engines and they succeeded at that.
I’m a year into a sabbatical after spending almost 20 years in tech.

I’m currently seriously considering a similar career change, as daunting as it seems at first glance.

It’s pretty interesting to find comment threads like this in this particular moment of my life.

I think there’s something about being an empathic person in an environment that values systems thinking. As I’ve cultivated that mindset and skillset, it has become more and more obvious that the world needs systems thinkers outside of tech. As a person who benefited greatly from a therapist who helped me apply this kind of thinking to my own life, I’ve learned just how impactful that can be.

I don’t know exactly what the next thing looks like yet, but it’s fascinating and informative to see others who have made or are considering the same career change. Thanks for sharing this.
To your 2nd point, I'd venture an uneducated guess that the reason we were doing this was largely a part of the arms race between USA and USSR during that period.

This Hn poster wrote this. So CIA is selling backdoored equipment which is fine for you?
Every second it spins is more test data. I would be surprised if they used the FTS.
The US is trying to avoid repeating the mistake it made with the USSR of allowing a hostile nation to buy its way to a modern industrial/technology base.

This is likely expected, given that there is not enough weight on the craft to warrant using all engines. If it can fly without them, that gives them a great idea as to how much payload it can take up when they are lit.

Edit: I may be wrong, apparently they have a great telemetry integration with their stream to show which engines are lit and which are not.
This was one of our bonus homework problems in Höhere Mathematik in engineering school in my misspent youth. I tried the factorization but got stuck. The offical solution was the log one shown in the article, somehow not as satisfying.
Dogs that grew up during the pandemic likely have a lot more separation anxiety than dogs which grew up pre-pandemic, and therefore so do their owners because the dogs aren't used to it.

Also, before the pandemic, workers probably didn't feel comfortable asking for or insisting on work from home, whereas it's been somewhat normalized now.
Version 8 has been plagued with various bugs with editing, scrolling, sync and stability issues on the Mac and iOS apps. It has become extremely difficult to rely on, and really the only path back to stability has been to downgrade to 1Password v7.
The title on HN is not the article title and is misleading. They have a therapy for one condition and reason to think it might help with glaucoma, among other things.

“Because a loss of retinal ganglion cells leads to sight loss in many conditions including inherited optic neuropathies and glaucoma, we are excited that this potential therapeutic approach could provide benefit to many patients in the future,”

Still cool, but just FYI. This is very early still.
This is really interesting. You said your brother helped out by posting comments to make it seem more active, do you think that was an important part of its success? I always wonder how sites like this get over the initial evil cycle of no users => no one wants to use it => no users etc.

Not MDMA, but LSD. For me, it was unreasonably effective, though some of that might be my quirks. I preferred to use it alone, would frequently do housework while on it, and talked out my problems with myself. It was easier to be kind to myself, and to treat my emotions and thoughts with a degree of distance which was incredibly helpful.

FWIW, I haven't hade the same effect from other psychedelics.
Sure, but I'm not a charity and I need to move somewhere else so I'm going to sell it to whoever is willing to pay me the most. My personal choices will not effect the systemic change needed.
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Medium, Indie Hackers, and Reddit is a good start.

I don’t syndicate all of my own website content automatically. For some blog posts, I will summarize my post and add additional content geared for that specific platform and audience.

For example, I will write a long form of a blog post for Medium, and a short form version for Indie Hackers.

I make sure to write similar but unique content for each platform so that Google doesn’t penalize the source website for duplicate content.
It can be more than one thing.

You can sell dogs? Even with desirable breeds, I assumed their value was basically nil after they were a puppy, unless you sold for breeding. Is there a large used pet market?
What the launch did do to the launch area is going to be an interesting story to follow.
I'd imagine pharmaceutical interests in the USA in the mental illness treatment & maintenance field are depressed by this news - it's going to crush their profit model if successful:

> "And it’s unclear whether approving MDMA on the basis of MAPS’s data would ease the way for other companies hoping to study and develop the drug, or whether anyone would even want to. MDMA has been around since 1912 and cannot be patented, creating little financial incentive."

Not only that, but if people can improve their condition with three treatments to the point that they no longer need their daily dose of anti-depressant or ADHD medication (or alcohol / opiates / etc. for the self-medicating cohort) then overall drug consumption will drop steeply. This is probably good for social progress but poor for profit margins and ROI in the drug sector.

The pharmaceutical industry makes a lot more money by selling maintenance programs in than it does by selling cures. For example:

Fair anecdote in return! I'm Italian-American - so as a kid my Italian grandparents shoved food in my face and forcefully said "mangia!" That's not happening these days!

One aspect of this I forgot: when my parents eat with my kids (ages 1, 5) they are always trying to force the 5-year old to finish everything. And often serving big portions. Drives me nuts. I take a different approach and serve pretty small portions and let her ask for more if she's actually hungry - and often she's not.
I agree that some folks are a little weird about their pets, but after 3 years working from home, these animals do get trained to assume someone is around. Dogs shred stuff, etc.
Every time this pops up, I think it says "Uncle Fetish" and a certain Terrance & Phillip song starts playing in my head...
Technically the signal always also travels between, but it's not a concern until roughly 50 MHz and above. It's actually the rise time that matters, and how long the signal takes to rise relative to the trace length and propagation speed.
Those were in an irregular pattern and not balanced. I'm pretty sure those were actual engine failures and not intentional shutdown.
Great first comment!
Yes, but still, blowing it up too soon would mean collecting less data, and the more data you have to "debug" the issue that obviously happened, the better.
Happy to share.

I’ve come to think it’s very important that we re-integrate these plants/practices/visions/what have you into society and we stand to benefit from a deeper level down than just salving creature comforts. Some people never forgot that matter and I’m sure are relieved to see some more “rational” people like myself coming around!
They have a link, mostly near the bottom of the report, as a way of (politely) saying that their service won't protect you from "rubber hose cryptanalysis".

It's a cheeky way of saying "this won't stop people from torturing shit out of you", and the rest of the article looks fine.

It's hard to take a poster seriously when they dismiss the entire model based on a hyperlink who fails to address the points in the model.

I'll agree with your point about email though: it's a tool for correspondence, not for secure transfer of sensitive info.
> So we are content and complicit and stick with the status quo?

Why can't we be content but not "complicit" and still address issues? I'd argue having a growing population with mental health issues is less prepared to functionally address larger problems.

This feels like it's piggy backing off of a caricature of a zoned out druggie who doesn't care what's happening around them.
The narcissism pyramid concentrates its effects at the top. We live in world now where narcissism and destructive personalities can be reinforced, especially so via social media.

Seeing that much SpaceX employees cheering after the explosion was kind of strange.

OK this is not complete failure, but this is still a failure. Things did not go according to plans.

I understand the need for PR and damage control, but I am not comfortable with it, this is not a success, this is work in progress and so far this launcher is unproven.
The only caveat I usually have with this is that this idea of "owning" your content by publishing it on your own site is the domain name, which you rent, rather than own.

I wish people would focus on these exceptional strengths of the model rather than blabbing about AGI or whatever.

Similarly to you, I have been able to find issues with logs, formatting, asking it quick query questions in [whatever flavor of query language XYZ service likes to use], etc.. and it's really, really good.

The alternative is to muscle through it, using a lot of energy, writing my own parser or something dumb, or to use Google - which basically isn't usable anymore!

ADD: in short, it happens for "any" frequency. This is how a voltage signal propagates. However, for DC it happens once because you see "change" in voltage only once and that's it. As you increase the frequency, you'll end up seeing more voltage waves due to "change" in voltage. That's when "reflections" come into picture - happens due to discontinuity in impedance.

I did not notice that. So, then it really doesn't tell us anything new.

The article gives away the game here:

>> But Doblin still envisions treatment centres sprouting up around the world — he predicts that more than 6,000 will emerge in the United States alone — where people with PTSD and other psychiatric illnesses can safely and legally use MDMA and other psychedelics under the guidance of therapists. Beyond this, he hopes ultimately for full legalization that would allow anyone to take the drugs however they wish. “MAPS has been the beacon to kind of take on this work,” says neuroscientist Amy Kruse, who is chief investment officer at venture capital firm Satori Neuro and is based in Annapolis, Maryland. “There are many people that can benefit from this treatment, and I think it shows a pathway for the potential rescheduling of other molecules.”

“In Slovenia it is customary to feed guests until they can physically eat no more. Saying you’re full is met with “Oh but there's so much more! Eat eat. How about another X? Maybe a Z?”.”

Obesity doesn't have as much to do with overeating as many think. It's an illness that results from the human body responding hormonally to the forms of mass it's taking in. Consume lots of carbohydrates, and especially carbs and fats at the same time, and you put yourself at risk of obesity.

If climate change encourages us to collectively move away from the Standard Western Diet, I'd be all for it, however. Though that doesn't mean that an individual not being obese is any less impactful on the climate, necessarily. Obese people are in a condition where mass is sequestered substantially more than in those whose with a different hormone profile brought forth by food composition.
Removing or replacing the existing thatch with anything but the same material (oaten straw) is highly illegal and could land me in jail.

Of course, heritage's stubbornness is also why my own county lost 40% of thatched buildings in the last 20 years and will probably lose them all in the next 20.

In some cases buildings are worth literally less than nothing (the land would be worth more without them) because heritage is naive enough to think some rich eccentric wants to plow millions of Euro in to fixing some dump in the middle of nowhere.

I mean, 150,000 for this building is a joke - https://www.offalyexpress.ie/news/home/1081285/historic-mill...

The land would be worth more if the building were demolished (and it had planning permission to build homes). But heritage officers won't allow that, so nature will demolish slowly (and make the town ever uglier in the process) and THEN in 30 years or so it will finally be demolished.
Looks like either it started tumbling before it was intended, or the second stage failed to separate as the booster intentionally flipped for its boostback burn.

With fins up top, the combined Starship and Booster stack is sort of like a dart flying fins-first. In theory controllable with thrust vectoring, but with some inherent instability.
> Perfection isn't required and as others have noted there are countries with far less problems so obviously it is possible

Never said it was impossible to improve. I said it was impossible to "fix" society.
They even had an infographic displaying that exact engine layout, I doubt someone drafted that up to cover up the fact they didn't light.

It seems more likely to me that they prepped the infographic of the engine layout ahead of time to keep people informed. I'm just speculating however.

Great examples.

To this list, I'd add Amazon's ads. It's providing them with very obvious revenue growth. It's parasitic on their ecommerce business, though, in ways that for me and many others, harm the things that made Amazon popular in the first place.

That'll never change, though, because that revenue has enough people attached to it that they'll fight tooth and nail to keep it no matter how much it harms the rest of Amazon.
Closing a chapter is always hard but exciting as it opens up time to try something new. Good luck!

They want to gather as much data as they can for as long as they can as long as the rocket is inside the envelope.

There’s no need to blow up your science experiment until it’s actually a danger, even if you’re certain it will soon become a danger.
Does anyone know what the failure rate on these engines is and what the "safety margin" will be on the final version? As in x/y engines being out is fine?
Nooooo....My APU2 has been kicking butt for past 5 years. Previous to that I used their Alix platform with PFSense. Those things are stable as rock. The only issues I ever had was with CF and SD cards. Actual devices are rock solid.

Immigrating here was a mistake.
The original mental model behind Make is pretty. At its best it feels like prolog for software construction. Like Horne clauses for compiler invocations on source units.

The problem is that the dirty real world of software construction doesn't match this ideal because the tooling is full of OS and compiler and library oddities that require explicit non-declarative interventions.

And that's how we ended up with source trees littered with shell scripts and M4 and autoconf and automake and it was a disaster.

One of the joys of operating in a net-new ecosystem like Rust or Go is having modern build tools built explicitly to avoid all this.

Make filled the "batteries not included" niche for C compilers in the 80s. But the world was too heterogeneous for it to scale nicely for larger, more complicated projects.
The LabPadre rover cam at 8:33 was... exciting... large chunks of things falling everywhere.
Take google for example. I think they got big at first for 2 big reasons. 1 their landing page was tiny I think the whole thing was maybe 20-50k on first load and 1k on second. It was fast to load. Then on top of that their search results were better. But that tiny front page made the thing look amazing. Remember this was at a time when their nearest competitors had ad laden bloated home pages that took a minute to render. That also helped them keep their costs wildly low at first. As network/hosts/drives/people costs money. They threw all of that out later on though as they took over the ad network. Starting off with 'fast loading ads'.
FTFY: Worst case scenario.

Change will come eventually and it will be painful. But I don’t want my kids to deal with it - I’d rather take it head on and deal with the consequences then praying that we push it to the next generation.
At T+6ish seconds, while the vehicle is still on the launch pad, you can see a massive explosion at the base of the first stage. Then another engine blows the side of the ship apart shortly after getting airborne (T+29s), then a few more engines go later. It's possible the later failures may have been a result of the big one at the start.

I'm wondering if the fist stage simply didn't get the speed necessary for the second stage to safely separate. *edit: Looking at it again, it appears to me at least, that it started tumbling well before expected separation. With no payload, I can imagine they decided not to separate for safety reasons.
People often put the dogs up for adoption/re-homing, but i had never heard of someone buying a purebred adult dog. I volunteer with the Labrador Retriever rescue group here in florida and we get a ton of people suddenly deciding they no longer have time for the dog and giving it up, or realizing the dog isn't as cute as it was when it was a puppy/got too big as an adult (duh), so they give them up.
> Only fly planes you have flown before?

Come on. I can hardly make the problem more obvious, but I'll try:

If people did that, nobody would fly any plane ever. You have to fly for the first time at some point.

When there's no simulators or co-pilot seats like for the kit plane in question, you literally have no other way to gain experience.

This is the equivalent of job offers asking for 10 years experience in a technology that's barely a few months old.
