Which 20 coffees? 20 Starbucks coffees? 20 no-name donut shop coffees? 20 instant-scoop grocery store coffees? If coffees are to become a bona fide currency, we're going to need more precise denominations here.

Or hopefully we can just stop with the coffee-pricing analogies because it's getting ridiculous and your would-be customers think you sound ridiculous. It's outdated sales-talk.

From the linked document. To me this is the same interpretation, but IANAL.

Individuals who use AI technology in creating a work may claim copyright protection
for their own contributions to that work. They must use the Standard Application, 39
and in it identify the author(s) and provide a brief statement in the “Author Created”
field that describes the authorship that was contributed by a human. For example, an
applicant who incorporates AI-generated text into a larger textual work should claim the
portions of the textual work that is human-authored. And an applicant who creatively
arranges the human and non-human content within a work should fill out the “Author
Created” field to claim: “Selection, coordination, and arrangement of [describe human-
authored content] created by the author and [describe AI content] generated by artificial
intelligence.”

In particular, this sentence:

> “Selection, coordination, and arrangement of [describe human- authored content] created by the author and [describe AI content] generated by artificial intelligence.”

Sounds to me like a DJ selection or like Duchamp's found objects as the creative element.
That's actually reasonable, if you consider that these employees are literally paid to mindlessly churn out blogspam. That's at least something that AI can do flawlessly and efficiently.
Byzantine history is so important to understand the modern world. It gives us the context for the orthodox/west divide; it gives us an example of a economic and intellectual superpower needing to live with the realities of barbarian neighbors, and being destroyed! It shows us great statecraft lasting a thousand years. It even shows us why generals and senior civil servants were eunuchs and how the next best thing was celibate people. This is the reason why catholic priests should be celibate and therefore the answer against nepotist corruption. We all know how nepotism is a serious issue in states everywhere in the world.

I became a fan of the Byzantines and seriously found team Roman Catholic to be a bunch of barbarians. I say team Roman Catholic because this small book[1] makes Byzantine history and trivia so humorous.

Too Many Eggs
Exactly what brazzy said. Lots of rights for individual persons, but businesses need to be complete open books about their activities (Know Your Customer regulations) and banks have ultimate discretion when it comes to who they want to do business with.

We consulted with a lawyer, not because we thought what our bank did was actionable, but just to explore options. First thing our lawyer said to us is "I want to make sure that you're not expecting that I can waive my magic lawyer wand and force the bank to reverse their decision right?" Of course we didn't expect that, but I did want to know if we had any rights that were being infringed and I had a few ideas about what to do with the business's money should the worst case scenario play out and I wanted to get a legal opinion and advise.

> And this is where the "No, never ever think about performance while writing code" that you are espousing is, IMO, detrimental to the craft.

That’s not my position. I think we broadly agree. I believe most software that is fast was designed fast. And the way you get there is by understanding your problem space well, and benchmarking with real world data as you build. There are almost always ways to take advantage of knowledge of the data to make your code faster.

As an example, in some performance sensitive rust code I’m working on, I have a lot of sets of numbers. The sets are tiny - most of them only contain 1 element. 95% have 1 or 2 elements. I could use HashSet, but instead I’m using SmallVec<[usize; 2]> - which inlines up to 2 items in a list. It’s uglier and more complicated, but in this case it is much faster than the alternative. I know to use this approach because I know my input data.

I agree with other commenters in this thread. Big-O analysis is often misleading. It leads you to pick a good algorithm, but often at the expense of optimizations that could give you 1-2 orders of magnitude better performance if you go looking for them. Things like cache aware memory layouts, reducing allocations via arena allocators and object pools, SIMD, and fast paths in complex functions for common calls.
No, actually.

Vermont has allowed people to carry a concealed weapons without a license - literally buy a handgun, stick it in your pants - and has had a consistently lower murder rate than Washington DC which banned handguns until recently.
I get that there are multiple endpoints being tested here and some of them may have been satisfied, but I feel like I'm living in a bizarro world on hacker news where people are arguing that multiple failed engines, a failed stage detachment and an exploding rocket worth millions of dollars and and carrying a large number of limited supply raptor engines is a "massive success". Can we just call it for what it is? Mixed results maybe? Is that not a fair assessment?

As a European who moved to California, I agree up to a point.

There are huge differences in this giant country, and foreigners too easily think it's just Manhattan and LA, from watching TV.

But I would say the ~50 countries of Europe is an order of magnitude more diverse than the 50 US states.

Some Americans throw around "in Europe they do X" statements, which usually just mean they observed that in the 1-3 cities they visited.

I recall hacking my favorite utilities onto such a disk, and getting some 'copper' bars bouncing in the background. Think I used some non blue disks at the time too, or maybe they came later.

The demo scene was maybe a bigger group, and still going I think.
It feels like a distinction without a difference: trying to apply the same logic to something that is material and not just bits in a computer:

You'd be saying you didn't pay for a house, instead you paid an architect to come up with the blueprint and paid the salaries and purchases of a construction team hour by hour for X months to execute on the design, additional work included, until you got a satisfying product. An accountant looking at it afterwards would still tell you you now have an asset estimated at Y thousands on the market.

> you can not choose to sell it to someone else

You can of course sell a developped product or a service to another company. Or even just the research part if it would cost enough to the buyer to reproduce it.
I think they are actually below the $2M mark already and the actual goal is to get to 250k per engine (At least for non gimbal sea-level engines).
I generally like to just ask my friends what problems they have, then figure out how I can use my resources and skills to see how I can solve them, and grow useful knowledge while helping them
That was the goal, but failures are to be expected at this stage of testing.
Clearing the tower was a primary goal since a ground level explosion would cause a lot of expensive damage.
Clearly there were multiple failures.
In practice, it was the exact same identical capacity. The OS couldn't see any difference. We'd use them as exact replacement of the 3"1/2 disks.

So we'd use them as double-sided 880 KB floppies.
While this is an interesting question I'm not going to give an especially interesting answer. I see things as you might imagine. And while it might seem unfair I'd also appeal to reality. It's now been more than half a century since a human left low earth orbit. NASA and Boeing (et al) had all this time to succeed. They failed, and there's no real excuse for their failures besides themselves, and their own motivations.

Keeping it brief SpaceX/engineer is genuinely trying to get people to Mars, largely driven by ideological reasons with extensive technical creativity/competence backing them up. Accountant/Boeing wants to make more money. Outsource our software development to guys in India bidding $9/hour? Awesome! That's another 0.037% profit, what could go wrong!? Something doesn't work? Who cares!? We're on a cost+ contract baby, what you call "failure to deliver", I call delivering value to my shareholders!

And then there's the politician. In this particular case, he's not only a life long politician but also 80 years old on top. The only 'bright side' is that, due to his political influence, he's gone to space before. On the other hand Charles Bolden was a genuine astronaut and absolutely everything one would think they would want from a NASA head, yet he was a miserable failure. It may simply be that political style leadership (even when not a politician) isn't really conducive to meaningful progress in modern times.

That's a perversion of the system. You want to eat from both sides: where the cost of living is high, the salaries are high, but you don't want to spend the money there. Instead, you'll drive up housing prices in a poorer country. "Some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make."
Most drake songs are repetitive and largely average. He's definitely got some with standout production, but don't kid yourself that he's some artistic virtuoso. The song became popular because it actually is a reasonably good imitation of early era Drake.
This launch was not carrying people. This system will not carry people from launch until dozens or potentially hundreds of successful flights have occurred.

SpaceX probably also has experience with crew safety given their track record with crew flights for NASA.

This test was not a total success nor a worst case failure. SpaceX were pretty clear on their expectations and this fell within them.

Have legal representation show up quickly means nothing.

Consider the many, many scenarios where search warrants are served on companies with in house legal. Law firms. Individual lawyers. Literally happens every single day.

Law enforcement has a warrant signed by a judge. Just because a lawyer of some sort is there doesn't mean they're going to stand around paralyzed saying "Oh there's a lawyer here, better stop what I'm doing and wait for XYZ".

They're going to say "Oh you're a lawyer? Good for you. Here's a copy. Get out of the way and stand over there."

Same thing for any technical or legal competence on the part of the authorities. You assembled enough cause for the warrant to be issued and you're going to walk away because the subject of the warrant basically says "Well see, I can explain everything..."?

This is probably the equivalent of Neil deGrasse Tyson talking his way out of a speeding ticket on the side of the road by giving one of his (in)famous "Well actually officer, the Earth revolves around the sun while turning on it's axis at 25k MPH so actually I was..."[0].

Their version of events makes absolutely no sense to me.

Somewhere there is a team that is over the top happy about an incredibly successful explosion. Their job was to make sure that if flight path deviated beyond some threshhold that the whole vehicle would be blown into tiny parts that would become ballistically safe. They were on the edge of their seats on how well that would work.

They saw the lift off team celebrate their success. They saw the booster team fist pumping. They saw the concern from the separation team and their own anticipation spiked. They saw the flight correction team studying realtime data intensely and taking some pride that all that spinning was semi-controlled. The anxiety for the demolition team had to be through the roof. Then, finally, it happened. The system they had spent so much effort to design and integrate finally deployed. It didn't fire prematurely. It didn't fail to deploy. It got everything exactly right.

There is still a ton of data to evaluate, and some improvements to be made. But that unnoticed team from the back of the shed at the back of the lot is celebrating picture perfect execution. Here's a salute to real engineers doing real work, getting it exactly right, and getting no credit. Well done.
I left my work laptop in the office and remoted in to it from home. I didn't want to have company equipment in my home for an extended period of time.
There was nothing forced or unnatural about it.
For myself, I'd feel like a test flight was a full success if it was able to test all the important bits. From that perspective not testing stage separation, second stage ignition, and reentry makes this a partial success but a partial failure as well.

EDIT: Perhaps a better way to think about it is, if it had crashed back to the stand and damaged things there that would be a setback. If it made it all the way that would be as much progress as you could get. Failing before MECO was less progress than I expected but still progress.

Bad faith responses like this lashing out at people like bragr make me even more suspicious. You know damn well, or should know, that companies secretly being owned by intelligence agencies is something that has happened before and could happen again. Meanwhile there is no evidence at all for reptilian ETs ever existing.

And furthermore, I am sure you know that when dealing with matters of security, it pays to exercise precaution and be wary of scenarios you cannot prove to be happening at the moment. E.g., you don't know your new friend you met at the bus stop is secret police, an informant for the Vichy government, but until you're damn sure he isn't then you don't let him know the location of your resistance safehouse. You don't need to have proof that your new friend has done anything wrong to be cautious of that possibility.

I'll keep saying this as long as I observe it:

there's a strong intention against free digital assets.

the logic of the market is imposing itself over the digital realm (the inside of the internet?)

this logic wants us to pay to copy. why should only some get to keep the enormous advantage unlocked by digital information while the rest are forced to pay?

Elon says Starship launches will get down to $10M per launch within 2-3 years. But he also said we would have our CyberTrucks by now, so... ymmv.

https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-spacex-starship-ro...

By comparison, Falcon Heavy costs about $62M per launch, but Gwynne Shotwell predicted they can shave 40% off that price tag when they start re-using heavies.

https://spacedotbiz.substack.com/p/is-starship-really-going-...

But Elon has supposedly said the TDC (total development cost) of the Starship is projected to be 2-10 billion. [I found this at the Daily Mail website, so take it with as large a grain of salt as you wish.]

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-11994755/Wha...

If it costs $10B to build one and $10M per launch and you get 10 launches per vehicle, that's $1.1B per launch if you amortize the development costs. But if it takes $2B to build one and $2M per launch and you get 10 launches, then it's only $220M per launch. But if you build five operational starships that each have 10 launches each, things start to get downright affordable.

So if the question is how much has SpaceX spent on the Starship to date? I don't know that's public info. If the question is how much will they spend on development, the answer is $2B-$10B (though that's from the Daily Mail.) If the question is how much will each launch cost (including amortizing development costs)? It could be as cheap as $42M. Or depending on how much of the $2.9B from NASA they're able to apply to previous development costs... who knows!? They could make $1.6M per launch as long as the GSA doesn't audit them too closely.

There's a myth in US government purchasing that competition drives costs down, and that's probably true for commodities. But Starship class super-heavy-launch vehicles aren't commodities. There's a TREMENDOUS amount of cost (both opportunity cost and dollars) associated with fiscal oversight of large projects. The hope has always been that when Blue Origin built something to compete, it would bring total costs down. I am skeptical.
This is exactly my understanding of it. I also have ADHD.
Your comment is very presumptive. How do you know what the warrant was for, and that it wasn’t fulfilled?
Some astronomers have voiced their concerns. Others have voiced their lack of concern. It's not an open and shut issue, but I do suspect a lot of hubbub is about who is launching the satellites, not the fact that they are there.
Just don't do it. It's like taking a child from you. Someone else starts to bastardize it, use it in way you don't like etc. And you can't do anything about it, since it's not your thing anymore. I've made this mistake once and it's not a good feeling. Better bury it.
No, the fact that conflicts never ceased under the articles makes the war "endless". By the way, it was a 10 year war, not a 1 year war.

And would it have been preferable if any colony could, itself, decide to start a confrontation? "in 1786 the Kentucky militia launched the first major frontier military action since the end of the Revolutionary War."

As studies continue, it seems that a key component is a safe and therapeutic environment and a trained guide who can help the person navigate what they experience. People most often get in trouble when they bring a recreational drug mindset, or are predisposed to certain conditions, or have not worked with a therapist to have foundational tools to manage the experience.

The risks are absolutely real and should not be taken lightly, but there’s a huge difference between going on a personal journey of experimentation without the tools to navigate that journey, and going through a careful screening process with counseling during and after each trip.

Michael Pollan’s work (book and documentary) explores this somewhat. I don’t think most people would describe the experience as ambiguous. That is not to say that the experience can be sufficiently described with language.
Stopping antidepressants without tapering can be deadly too. Serotonin syndrome is a real issue.
