Hardly any notable amount. It's not the great tragedy you seem to think it is.
You could try asking it to output the sed/awx/etc. commands needed to do the desired transformation reproducibly. If it's not yet good at that it will be soon.
Everyone agrees that this individual is trans-identifying. The issue is that under Twitter's previous rules, they were compelling gender-critical feminists to pretend that this male is a woman, under the threat of being banned from the platform.

Not just feminists either. Most people balk at phrases like 'her penis and testicles', even if they would normally play along with the fiction of this male being a woman.

It really does highlight the absurdity and dishonesty that is inherent in the belief system of gender identity, in that people are essentially being forced to say things that they don't really believe.

> The understeer characteristics of a FWD car are very easy and intuitive to recover

This might be true when discussing snap over-steer and throttle induced under-steer on a track but is a complete lie for snow driving where most drivers will just keep steering harder in response to under-steer which is not productive and you don't have enough traction for lifting and braking to induce much extra weight on the front.

What exactly does a founding prompt engineer do?
You are right in the second part, but the first part is unnecessarily defeatist. You could say the same about alcohol and smoking, "they will anyway try it with friends", yet it still makes sense to keep children away from it or postpone it.

While you cannot keep kids away from it forever, it makes a lot of difference when they are exposed to it and how well-equipped they are to deal with it.
I agree with everything you said. But this is 2023. The laws, when not actively hostile to human wellbeing, are at the very least unconcerned with it.

1) It's the only static non-rocket launch system. As such it doesn't require people to buy into the "active support structure" concept which is a prerequisite for orbital rings (<3), launch loops, or space fountains. (Rotovators, though arguably static, require exotic setups for terrestrial use.)

2) It's been around long enough to have made it into mainstream culture, especially via big-budget Hollywood movies.

3) The name is straightforward and approachable to laypeople. An elevator to space nicely obscures issues like its mind-boggling size, duration of transit, and even "reach space" vs "achieve orbit."

4) Picturing the structure fixed over a point on Earth seemingly sidesteps sovereign territory issues and international cooperation, further simplifying the conversation.

The Space Elevator is a gateway to megastructures more than a gateway to space.

Probably not all that much much. It's a big building, for sure, with some rooms and furnishings of historical interest.

But it's not nearly as lavish as Versailles is, and its place in history is much less important. It wasn't completed until after the monarchy had become subordinate to the Parliament. Its residents have always been figureheads.

Versailles, by contrast, is the ultimate in conspicuous consumption. The building is insanely gaudy, inside and out. The grounds are jaw-dropping. It can take you a day just to walk them. Compared to it, Buckingham Palace is a cottage.

It's also redolent in French history. It was the court at the absolute height of French monarchical power, and played crucial roles in the fall of that power. Marie Antoinette's Petit Trianon, where she dressed up as a peasant girl and played at being a milkmaid, is a potent symbol of how out of touch the monarchy had become.

People would surely come to see Buckingham Palace, home to Queens Victoria and Elizabeth, and be informed about some of the important events that happened there. More would come if it were more open. But it would never be the draw that Versailles is, and people would not come out raving about what extravagant lives its residents led.

Seriously, why does anyone seriously think "this needs fixing"?
I wholeheartedly agree. My engineering teacher in high school always used to tell us to fail fast and fail often and I think SpaceX has that down to a T — because failing in engineering isn't really failing, it's an integral part of the development process! Why spend countless billions trying to make sure everything goes exactly right on the first try when you could achieve an even higher final quality by just accepting that a few of your spaceships are going to explode, and that explosions are learning opportunities?

In summary yeah, this launch was a massive success!
> Point being: they backed themselves into a low-volume/high-risk corner of their own strategic design

Because they knew they had to "get it right" the first time because a bunch of buffoons(congress) would consider any crash or explosion as a failure and pull funds immediately.
The algorithm doesn’t work only on searches. Or even mostly. It is largely based on engagement. Which videos do you actually watch and comment on.

Almost nothing I search for is on my FYP. My FYP is almost all pranks, basketball, dancing in public, and Harry Mack.

I have noticed that if I watch a video all the way through I will get more of those videos pretty quickly. If this kid watched a depression video all the way through it will throw another at him shortly. If he watches that one then it can quickly change the algorithm to begin to favor those. The algorithm has a short memory.
Congrats, and good luck.

While a Raspberry Pi is much more powerful than your basic router, these kinds of routers are those with genuinely extra features that will strain out a RasPi (for example, multi-gigabit routing, advanced traffic shaping, and in GP's case packet-based firewall with a possibility of deep packet inspection). Until we have decent emebedded ARM-based computers, it is still likely that there would be a reliance on x86 computers simply because they exist.
It sounds as if your understanding of the problems differs from those of your new colleagues; have you considered whether your resistance to the changes is properly calibrated against the needs of the business?
Well, they were hoping to possibly get a chance at soft-landing the Super Heavy Booster in the ocean, which might have allowed them to recover some stuff from it, but that was always viewed as a potential bonus, never a guarantee or even a primary goal.

You know all public companies disclose this quarterly right? You could just look it up instead of giving an incorrect answer. They have $766m on hand. This is less than half of what seagate has on hand.

But medics who has that information does not use HN unlike the druggies.
Druggies report that effect of mdma might be a long-term but this is not a prolonged effect of the substance, this is just positive outcomes from a good social interaction session which may happen with significantly more probability if on mdma. For example: had a uncomfortable but long-term useful talk, could behave openly on some party after a long time without that experience and gained new best-friend for tens of years, danced better on some dance competition which resulted in participation of higher-level competitions, etc.

One of the most common phrases we heard from the engineers was:
"Well... that didn't act like the model"

That is why we test real things in the real world. While the rocket did not operate as expected, so much information from this launch is going to go back into engineering.
Show HN: How to find the best bank for your needs
Hi everyone,

I just launched Bank List, an online banking directory to help people find the perfect bank for their needs.

It currently has 170+ banks/EMIs and it's mostly focused on individuals and businesses from Europe, but I plan on adding new regions soon.

The business model is affiliate marketing, I earn commission when someone signs up on any of these banks through my link. Maybe I will also add featured listings on the site, still need to think about this though.

I would love to receive feedback about the website and business idea in general.

Thank you

There’s also usage of that spelling in Magic: The Gathering. One of the biggest villain factions in the Lore of the game, Phyrexians, assimilate beings against their will and brutally “perfect” them through magical and surgical means. The process is called “Compleation” - https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Compleation

The recent arc of expansions for the game have heavily features the Phyrexians, so the spelling might be more common this year.

> Maybe we're all just getting old, and the dream of "one text editor for everything" is becoming one of those quaint old notions of yesteryear.

I mean, that's only ever been a dream in the emacs community. Vim might have toy plugins for other stuff, but by and large people use it to edit period. As it should be, isn't the whole UNIX philosophy to do one thing well? If I want email or a text browser in the CLI (I don't) I'll use dedicated, better, faster programs, each on a tmux pane that I can use instantly with a keyboard shortcut, rather than wait for a slow emacs buffer to load.
Does it come with a text editor ?
I'm not sure what your point is here — a stainless steel skyscraper-sized rocket powered by 33 methalox full-flow staged combustion engines just made it all the way through max-Q and most of the way to orbit before exploding on its first ever attempt! I'd definitely count that as an unqualified success.
Thanks for taking the time to reply, Paul.

"to accomplish A I will knock down whatever barriers are in the way which will involve selective learning about X, Y, Z, etc..."

I agree with the sentiment and currently employ this approach. I also prefer to reach my own conclusions rather than research existing solutions. There's something important about working through the nuances of a problem, running into obstacles, and overcoming them just to realize the approach's limitation. The process of ideating does improve with practice. I try to embrace the process for that reason.

"I made some prints with different color management settings until I really understood what was going on."

In retrospect, how meaningful was that process? I find those experiences tend to be the most valuable.

"So even at an intro level where I barely know what I am doing, starting with the starter examples, I would feel like a failure if I just got it to work once in a Jupyter notebook, as soon as possible I try to "close the circle" and get that model running every day inside my RSS reader. A deeper understanding will come later."

I describe learning with an analogy about collecting keys today that may open future doors of opportunity. Understanding comes through experience and experience comes through struggle. In time, everything becomes butter.
"You can't keep kids from drinking alcohol, they can get it from their friends parents."

This is also a true statement, but happens far less than it does with social media (or other violent or otherwise undesired media).

That's not currently what people want, but I think it could change it the future. But at the same time, there is a particular American quality of stubborness/pride that will probably push back "we have the right to keep hurting ourselves even though we don't really want to, but are being manipulated by algorithmic attention-fixation tricks!"

I've actually been looking for a comprehensive and detailed comparison of Clickhouse vs Pinot, so this is timely for me. I like that this article has some easy to digest lists of what is supported in each implementation, but that's fairly high-level. The deeper dives into features and specific use cases was much more helpful.
Proving causation is nearly insurmountable in suicide negligence cases even in fact patterns in which the person who killed themselves was heavily influenced by some person or someone who made the implements convenient to access. With a software application, causation is even more attenuated because the person's decision to kill themselves is almost always considered a superseding cause.
Sounds like a smart decision short term questionable long term (more focus on product instead of fundamental research).

US cops would both be unlikely to comprehend the situation and would take everything that wasn't nailed down out of spite even if they did and would experience no consequences however other folks in better countries actually have rights.

They had warrants to seize servers containing data relevant to a case. None such exists. They didn't have the right to just steal like US cops.

> Wouldn’t republicans believe more in ‘...’ where democrats would be more ‘...’

With only two parties I don't think the parties themselves are good proxies for the views of the people who end up voting for them.

I think generally most people would want 1) each to their own 3) success of the hardworking 3) equality for everyone. With only two parties for the whole political spectrum neither group is actually that distinct. Many people vote on the key issues that impact their day-to-day and so there's generally no real difference on issues that aren't in the news.

Anyways, being on the west coast I assume that most of the Americans I'm talking about are Dems, and in Canada, probably 'Liberals'. I think their (perfectly reasonable) hippy distrust of government and corporations makes them doubt the "benefits" meaning they had no reason to do it for neighbors either. (This was 2+y ago now, who knows where they are now.)

A community meeting I went to a few years ago spent twenty minutes or so discussing microwaved water, and if the venue used a microwave and whether some people were "safe to drink the tea", and went downhill from there in a science sense. Everyone was very eager to help but it wasn't a terribly well informed group.
> if we can deal with ratios in calculus down to infinitesimal sizes using limits, we can sure as heck go the other way,

You can absolutely say lim_(x->infinity)x/2x = 1/2

I.e. in I, the density of evens is 50%.

But that's not what people (mathematicians) mean when they compare sets.

You happen to be comparing two sets whose have the same members.

But what about when they don't?

How does the set of real numbers compare to the set of curves?

What "ratio" can be constructed from that? Your proposed methodology falls over.
