You mean, sufficiently convincing that they leave empty-handed for now, knowing they'll have to come back with bigger guns.

I'll be watching the news feed for updates on this.
The topic has been beaten to death in the comments, but it comes down to sematics around success and goals.

They didn't meet every goal hopeped for, but how much or which constitutes sucess? This will be in the eye of the beholder. SpaceX said they would consider it sucessfull if it leaves the launch pad/site.

I might call it a failure because it didn't land a human on the moon, and it doesn't matter if that was not the expectation or intent of SpaceX today.

It is ultimately subjective. You might be happy with your life, but I might call it a falure. Is one of us right, both?
The problem is that the political movement these guys spearhead doesn't give two figs about the public record.

It’s not just that though, certain topics are lightning rods, and Musk is particularly devisive.
Favorite bit: "What if the 432 had won? Computing would be very different. Many security problems wouldn't exist. You can't have a buffer overflow because every data structure is a separate object with memory segment size enforced in hardware. You can't smash the stack or make bad pointers."

In the early 80s, speed was everything and security a non-issue. LANs hadn't even taken off yet, let alone the internet. But that's almost flip-flopped today.
I have commented this many times on such articles, and will say it again:

Google still thinks of AI as a research project, or at best a way to produce better search results. They essentially created the entire current generation of the AI space and then... gave it away, because no one on the product side understood what they had actually built. Handing the reins to the DeepMind team – who have never launched a single product in their history – seems to be a doubling down on that same failed strategy.

Google doesn't need more smart AI researchers, academics or ethicists. They need product managers who understand the underlying technology and can commercialize it. They need pragmatic engineers who can execute, launch and maintain services. That has always been their problem as a company.
Laid off in December. It wasn’t my first layoff, but I was expecting this one to be considerably harder given the market at the time.

Somehow, things have gone even worse than I imagined. Four months later, there’s still no end in sight. Referrals from people enthusiastic about working with me again have ended either after the recruiter screen or with ghosting. I’ve had founders reach out to me after HN posts, but I’ve either failed to advance or been ghosted altogether.

And of course, the usual stream of cold applications has led to the predictable stream of “thank you for your interest” emails, some after a recruiter call, most without one.

As to “am I doing all right” – not really, to be honest. Financially I’m holding on despite the unpleasant hit to savings, but the hit to self-confidence has been pretty severe. I’ve really enjoyed my career in product design up to this point, and now I have this terrible, creeping worry that I’ve somehow hit my expiration date.
Obviously. Who wants to work on adtech? Only ppl without a choice or a clue.
Its not just F18s. Western militaries have hilariously large stockpile of old hardware (usually missiles/guns/weapons or logistics vehicles, not weapons platforms like the F18) that are just sitting there, rotting in storage.

It makes no sense to me. Its not like theres a taboo against arming Ukraine anymore, or that the US is going to ever need 10,000 old air-to-air missiles.

> No one has to deny that she was trans.

No-one is denying that Yaniv is trans-identifying. What gender-critical feminists (and others) are denying are his claims of being a woman.

The question is whether social media platforms should compel their users to tell lies when discussing people such as this. Which is what anyone who holds the view that this individual is a man would be doing if they are forced to refer to him as 'she' or 'her'.

> Here is a great article that does not deadname her nor misgender her while also talking about the case accurately

Yes but the fact that some newspaper editors choose to immerse themselves, their writers and their readers in this fiction doesn't mean that everyone else should be compelled to do the same.
Blood clots in your legs from sitting at a computer too long can kill you.
Reminds me of what happened with Xerox PARC
Your initialization hinted it. I must say, if Meta had a IP-litigation department called "IRE" or "MIRE" (Meta Intellectual Rights Enforcement), that would be a little on the nose.The unofficial motto would be "We will bog you down in the courts for years"
I see your point, though I think it's ultimately going to be good for AI progress. So far the research has been mostly a vanity project for these companies. Who knew if there was really any gold at the end of those rainbows. Eventually the appetite for participating in the research paper olympics was going to run out, probably right at the same time that monetary policy stayed tight for too long.

The possibility of building a trillion dollar company on this tech means a whole lot more investment, more people entering the field. More people excited to tinker in their spare time and more practical knowledge gained. More GPUs in more data centers. Eventually things will loop back around to pure research with that many more resources applied.

It sure beats an AI winter, which probably would have been the alternative had LLMs not taken off.
I hadn't known that. Is that a center engine?

Intuitively it seems like more would be better so that in the case of that engine failing you could use the other engines to push up and maybe light another engine.

Of course, if there's two engines and one fails, it's going to tilt. Same with 3, though to a lesser degree. 4 engines lessen it even more, etc. etc.

Or maybe they can detect a bad center engine on descent (it doesn't light or flame is detectably not the right) and then go to outer engines. Or drop it in the ocean. Hope there aren't people on that one.
This is interesting, but I don't see any of the major banks... Only online / brands that seem new or I've never heard of.

People might get scared off if they don't see the big names they are used to IMO.

Other than that, UX looks neat. Would be nice to be able to type in the country search boxes.
Again, not complete failure, but partial success.

No matter how you spin it they did not achieve 100% of the objectives.

And yes the media honeymoon with Elon Musk is clearly over, and I think this is for the better (including for his own sanity)
It certainly tends to be perceived that way by the person corrected. It's also debatable whether nitpicking on someone's grammar is "correcting their language", linguists tend to think it's not: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

A piece of feedback for the transition between two exercises. You may want to stop the bottom watch altogether during transition and - somewhere on top right -start a simple circular time animation 5..4..3

In any case, congrats again for the launch.

You are 100% right that the words have to be consonant with the environment. And I still think there is a ton of value in making the words explicit. E.g. if you are a manager, and in fact your door is always open, but you don't say it and you assume your employees will gather that from your demeanor and behavior - you could find out years later that you were totally wrong and employees (especially junior employees and those from underrepresented groups) may not realize it was ok to approach "the boss".

That's what they said
Maybe they were cheering for failure because they know more about their goals than you do
If you were thrown by the explosion (automated termination, not some catastrophic failure), then you weren't listening to any of the media around the launch. This was a successful mission, gathering data for future launches. Expectations were set appropriately, so I think it's really just your problem for not listening.

In addition, this isn't publicly funded, so it would seem if some of the people get spooked by not understanding the goals of a launch correctly, then it doesn't really matter that much.

The question is if you can understand the solution if it's complex.

Just like the regex for valid email addresses, it may be correct but it's hard to understand it.

I see it more as a tool for doing the tedious but simple work, if it's getting complex you get a hard time checking the correctness of the result.
Elon should just make rockets. Everyone loves when he does that, even when they explode.

6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor

The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.

No provision of the license may be predicated on any individual technology or style of interface.

I'm not sure how one can claim to be open source and not allow for it to be used for AI training.

There are certainly license / fair use / derived work issues to be resolved... but the "allow AI training" probably should be a "yes" for open source software.

If there is a material chance you won’t clear the tower, building an elaborate pad is overkill. I disagree that a new mount means months of delays—SpaceX has been building these faster than legacy operators.
Sundar's email mentions something critical - Jeff Dean is going to be the Chief Scientist in DeepMind, and coordinate back to Sundar. This is a big deal; that move tells you that Google is taking being behind on public-facing AI seriously, Dean is an incredibly valuable, incredibly scarce resource.

If we wind way back to Google Docs, Gmail and Android strategy, they took market share from leaders by giving away high quality products. If I were in charge of strategy there, I would double down on the Stability / Facebook plan, and open source PaLM architecture Chinchilla-optimal foundation models stat. Then I'd build tooling to run and customize the models over GCP, so open + cloud. I'd probably start selling TPUv4 racks immediately as well. I don't believe they can win on a direct API business model this cycle. But, I think they could do a form of embrace and extend by going radically open and leveraging their research + deployment skills.
Nah, it was programmed for stages separation and some flight before reentry, and also the return maneuver for the booster stage.

The separation malfunctioned, that was not planned, this is not subjective.

What is subjective is defining if this is a 25%, 50% or 90% success (can't be 100%).
> The fact that the US is not dunking on Saudi Arabia does not change the fact that the CCP is a murderous, genocidal, antidemocratic force that needs to be contained.

Neobanks are honestly never the best bank. They may be the best current account in which you shouldn't keep more than a few hundreds, or the best way to exchange currency, but they are not good banks.

I think you mean serotonin. MDMA causes greater release of serotonin and norepinephrine than of dopamine, and dopamine resets to baseline much faster than serotonin.

> MDMA-exposed primates showed reduced numbers of serotonergic neurons 7 years later, indicating that some of MDMA’s effect on the brain can be long lasting.

> Low serotonin is associated with poor memory and depressed mood, thus these findings are consistent with studies in humans that have shown that some people who use MDMA regularly experience confusion, depression, anxiety, paranoia, and impairment of memory and attention processes. In addition, studies have found that the extent of MDMA use in humans correlates with a decrease in serotonin metabolites and other markers of serotonin function and the degree of memory impairment.

The whole point is that all the progress you mention is worth peanuts to Google's shareholders. Hence this decision and blog post about it.

If anything it allowed competitors to raise above Google.

PS: Not saying Deepmind's research is not worthy, nor that this is fair. Just that it appears that Alphabet/Google (and by extension Deepmind) is being reminded that its main goal is making money.
> Intuitively it seems like more would be better so that in the case of that engine failing you could use the other engines to push up and maybe light another engine.

The landing F9 first stage is so light even one engine at minimum throttle has a thrust-to-weight ratio greater than one; they can't throttle it down enough to hover. Three lit engines would send it shooting back up rapidly.

"LSD also gave me recurring intrusive thoughts for about 5 years after taking it."

There are definitely risks, but also ways to minimize the chance of negative effects and to constructively handle them afterwards.

All too many people go in strong psychedelic sessions with little preparation, in very poor settings, without experienced people they respect and trust around, and often even without knowing the substance or the dose of what they're taking.

If there are negative effects during the trip they don't know how to handle them, and many are lost as to what to do afterwards, and don't take advantage of support offered by trained psychedelic therapists or even ordinary psychologists.

It's a formula for increasing the odds of trauma and subsequent PTSD.

If anyone is considering taking psychedelics, please, please educate yourself thoroughly on them and how to use them constructively, test them, and know with certainty the dose you are taking, and take them only with experienced people you like and trust.

James Fadiman's Psychedelics Explorers Guide*[1] is a great resource for this.

Hey, JerremyBanks [dead], check out my comment history. Should help answer your question ;)
Items removed outside the scope of a warrant have similar standing to items seized without a warrant.
The bubble era of digital news startups is well and truly over. There was never going to be a happy ending for an industry entirely reliant on the whims of social media algorithms to drive traffic, and ad impressions to monetize said traffic.

This applies to serious news sites, like BN that don't have the cachet of the Washington Post...which itself couldn't operate independently and was acquired by Bezos.

Organic reach for brands on social is dead, it's pay to play (promote posts, that is). Google giveth once but now they'll just gently nudge your towards spending more on ads.
Go bait somewhere else, mate. Your question has nothing to do with the topic we’re discussing.
While GP didn't spell this out, they have, in my opinion, a point. If you use a cloud portal, usually web based (be it browser, electron or similar), that asks for your master password, you need to trust the provider that the master password is not send to their servers. Even if you trust the provider to adhere to this principle, if their infrastructure is compromised an attacker can serve you a different webapp that sends your master password to the server. Same goes for auto-updating native apps.

This does not render the model of keeping the master password client side only moot, it is more secure no matter what. You successfully mitigate the read-only attack of dumping the storage of the cloud provider. However, if you assume a full, on-going compromise of the infrastructure, your password is not secure anymore.

I get that this is moving the goal posts a bit but I wanted to post this anyway. I think if you have highly valuable credentials and want the maximum security for them, you should play out as many possible attack vectors as possible.
Nice! Great position to be in. What's the startup tackling?
