> To me, this comment implies that SpaceX is better/smarter than NASA, Northrop, Boeing, et. al.

I don’t think SpaceX has smarter engineers. I don’t think they even have smarter managers, since many of their executives used to work for NASA and/or traditional aerospace firms (e.g. President+COO Gwynne Shotwell started out in aerospace at a private non-profit research centre doing contract engineering work for the NASA Space Shuttle and the US military space program)

One big difference is Elon Musk at the founding of SpaceX told his executives to take big risks (as in “if this fails we go bankrupt”). I think Tory Bruno at ULA is a great CEO, but no way is Boeing or Lockheed-Martin ever saying to him “we want you to take such big risks that we might go bankrupt if they fail”. He, and all the people under him, are only allowed to take small-to-medium sized risks. But that puts a definite limit on what they can achieve compared to SpaceX whose executives and engineers have the freedom to make much riskier decisions

Eh, my Chromebook makes an excellent VT220, and it won’t stop doing that well unless I drop it quite a few times.

I bought a 2-in-1 Chromebook for $65. It’s got 4 GB of RAM, a 32 GB eMMC, and a dual-core Pentium CPU, but when it only needs to run one copy of the Chromium engine with a couple handfuls of open tabs + some simple Linux utilities it’s absolutely perfect.

I don’t intend to try and use “real” Linux (and especially not Windows) on this thing any time soon, but it gets official support and updates until 2027.

And in case I do decide to convert it away from being a Chromebook, it came with a fully-featured, UEFI-capable copy of Coreboot installed. You have to put it into Developer Mode (which erases your entire user partition to do), but then I can dual-boot with a microSD or USB drive, or I can install Linux (or even Windows, supposedly) on the local 32 GB eMMC.

If I do repurpose it, I can also flash the firmware with one that is more capable when it comes to Windows drivers, but doesn’t support dual-booting without something like Brunch (https://github.com/sebanc/brunch)
Presumably they would use something like an electrically propelled ducted fan (basically the first stage of a high bypass engine). The noise I imagine would be reasonably similar.
Why is it so important to plant goal posts where parent doesn't?

Some people like to have the freedom to choose between things, it isn't about trying to be some kind of villain.
I've given two weeks notice to employers I didn't like, and had immediate layoffs from employers I liked exceptionally, so I don't feel I should have any obligation in that regard except to myself. I'll the factors that the author mentions and plan ahead (like, taking vacation or exercising options if I care to), but negotiate the rest to my benefit.

Based on the article and some comments here, I realize it could be quite valuable to resign early in the month--like, in the first week. For my jobs (in the US), if they take the resignation and walk me out the door immediately, my health insurance would still be in force until the end of the month.

My direct experience is that its important to have a week of vacation in-between jobs, just to clear my mind and prepare for the new work. I had an employer who found it urgent that I start ASAP. I tried to negotiate away from their insistence, but eventually gave in to their request. It was the worst starting week ever in terms of my focus and comfort with the new job. Might have been better if I'd taken it as the bad sign that it was and declined their offer.
I agree. The only reasonable explanation (from the outside) is that a bunch of Legal AI doomers put guardrails and red tape everywhere inside DeepMind, preventing anything that’d look like a go-to-product.
> Of course, being a ZIO adopter does not necessarily mean the whole codebase is using ZIO (and hence following a PFP approach) but the chance is high

How does "uses a library for async and concurrent programming" indicate a high chance that an entire codebase follows a PFP approach?
I think corporations caring about ethics in so far as it impacts the bottom line is a much safer outcome than them caring about ethics as a terminal objective...

All serious atrocities that have been done in the history of man have been done by people who believed what they were doing was good. Trying too hard to be good is exactly how you do evil, and not just conventional banal evil, but the truly horrifying stuff like outright genocide.

Ethics as triggered by bottom line concerns becomes part of a feedback cycle involving the greater market. It provides a way to stem some of the worst ethical transgressions without having much potential for running off on a tangent and doing evil by trying too hard to do "good", as those efforts will also hurt the bottom line.

Greed follows incentives, so collectively we can predict and control much of the harm it can create. When some person or organization is motivated by belief it's going to be much less responsive and we better hope that their beliefs are exactly right or that the entity doesn't have much power.

It's easy and common for bloated quasi-monopolists to engage in an awful lot of activity which has little to do with improving the bottom line, so the the mere existence of ambient capitalism isn't sufficient to ward off misguided and out of control do-gooding. It can be particularly bad when they do since they begin the activities with a lot of power (which they usually gained through productive activities in the past before they were diverted).

Overwrought claims of do-gooding are also easily abused to undermine our civil process and steam roll protections which were established because our forebearers recognized the risk of popular whim and expedience. A few "think of the childrens" and you've deputized the state to carry out your campaign of oppression. We're a bit less willing to roll over just because someone wants to make more money.

I don't mean to argue that what you get from profit driven ethics is great or that we can't supplement it with other backstops (including regulations, whistleblower protections, a non-precarious employment situation so people can follow their consciences, etc) but you really can do much worse than "is ethical in so far as its profitable, is unethical in so as it's profitable and you can get away with it", and I think that perspective is important.

From this position it's easier to see how google's transition from "Don't be evil" to "Do the right thing" can be seen in an absolutely chilling light.

There's still a few .rvt links on the site, so they may still be using a fair bit of rivet.
At that scale it should be trivial to self host a server with a static IP that confirms the ownership. Make the server IP on the tractor password protected or smth. Modern tractors are internet connected anyway.
I'd be extreemly careful about using a cell phone app to track any health data at all. The Glucomate app seems to have a pretty reasonable privacy policy at first glance, but I have no idea what kind of app the The Libre uses or what their policy is, but in any case it's worth pointing out that there are countless companies who would love to get their hands on this type of data some of which could impact your ability to get insurance or the rates you'll pay for it. Even advertisers would love to take advantage of you while your levels are (or are expected to be) low and your defenses are down.

You're forgetting to take into account that an electric drivetrain (power electronics and electric motor) is several times more efficient than a gasoline drivetrain (ICE motor and gearbox). It also weighs less.

Suppose a person is writing software that works on linux as part of dayjob/hobby/large project/tutorial or something.

And, wanting to use some eBPF produced by clang, that person comes to this "license" member in the manpage. What to do? Call lawyer? Call police? Call reddit?

YouTube app video downloads work exactly that way, same for prime video, I believe
I believe this is a function of age.

It is still very important for young people to have affirmation that the music they like is 'cool' or fits the in-group they are trying to be a member of.

However, young people generally are not reading zines or long-form music reviews any more, and instead are watching TikTok clips, YouTube videos, etc. to work out what kind of music is 'cool'.

This comment is particularly insightful, I think:

> Perhaps, in a world of instant multimedia content delivery, print is no longer a good medium for music reviews.

I would say though that print was never a good medium for music reviews, but there were no other options. Column inches in a newspaper were better than wasting money on a record. Then, it was better to read reviews online for free than waste hours downloading a file on Napster/Kazaa/whatever.

Now, with instant streaming, it takes less time to consume the content and decide for yourself than it does to read a review.

I think it's exceptionally hard to make a convincing value proposition particularly for music journalism at the moment.
I can only assume so, given the nature of the experiment. But it seems counterintuitive to add yet more of it. Naively speaking, it feels a bit like the actual data is being "guided" towards the simulation.

However, I have zero subject matter expertise with physics, so my intuition is probably not worth much.
I'm not sure is the best analogy. Perhaps it wouldn't reduce the value, but I don't see how you move a tractor that wont start (unless you want the owner standing beside you while you hack).
Isn't it break even point, considering >60% of the gasoline energy is dissipated as heat, and <40% to make the wheels spin?
The article misses the influence of the checksum.

I saw a graph at a the time showing how many single-bit errors the checksum misses, and the graph was flat-ish up to around 8-10k and rose after that.
With parachutes, and you can reuse them.

You can also do this on regular flights just to save weight. It's SpaceX style reusability but on a commercial aviation scale.

First, actual real world political spectrum is not even on the neat left right scale.

Second, the actual role centrist do is to actively work against improvements. They do not say "I think it is infeasible, but good luck". They say "trying to do this is wrong".
A unit containing matter and antimatter isn’t a battery, it’s a completely different thing altogether.

Maybe a slightly closer but still very different example would be a core of weapons grade plutonium. But what you’ve described would be far more powerful than that.
I can't speak to Washington, but in California it's well beyond jurors being unable to grasp "beyond a reasonable doubt" because jurors, not judges, determine the sentence (life v death). The sentencing guidelines use verbiage that a lot of lay folk are not familiar with (e.g. mitigating) and jurors are not allowed to use a dictionary to define words they don't understand. Judges are not obligated to allow jurors to ask questions or for clarification during any phase of the trial. It's been a while since I've thought about capital cases but I believe written copies of the sentencing guidelines aren't provided to jurors. Given that we're talking about the ultimate punishment here, the system is (in California at least) a colossal mess.
It’s interesting that battery stories generate so much opprobrium when battery performance has increased so dramatically over the last couple of decades.

I just realized how much energy efficiency is being squeezed out of a Tesla. It's incredible.

A normal diesel fueled sedan such as the Chevy Cruze diesel runs at about 31mpg, which is 13.2 km/l or 15.3 km/kg. Diesel has a mind-boggling 12700 Wh/kg energy density[1], which translates to an efficiency of ~827 Wh/km for the Chevy.

By contrast, the Tesla Model S, has a ~540 kg battery[2]. At 272 Wh/kg (from the posted article), that's ~147 kWh of energy storage, and the Tesla can do a rated 650km on a single charge[3]. So that's an efficiency of ~225 Wh/km, which is ~27% of the energy required to run a normal car!

It just wouldn't have been possible to run cars on batteries without this efficiency bump.

Structure and Interpretation of Capacitor Programs
TFA mentions GalliumOS for repurposing end-of-life Chromebooks, but it should be noted that GalliumOS hasn’t been receiving updates for at least a year, possibly more like two.

On the other hand, if you have an x86 Chromebook and you can switch it to “dev mode,” you can usually just press ctrl+L on the dev mode warning screen and be dropped into a coreboot-flavored seabios or tianocore UEFI. You might need an additional package/driver or two for the custom Cros_EC embedded controller and other weird hardware, but you can definitely boot ordinary Linux or even Windows on (at least some) unmodified Chromebooks!

Don’t expect a pleasant Windows 11 experience on essentially a passively cooled tablet, though :)
Or rather bittorrent.
I don't think he's assuming that Tesla (etc.) cars are more secure, just that they're different, and so would need different tools.
That’s because you have: battery performance keeps getting dramatically better.
Emissions, sure. If you're someone deeply involved in the car industry, you'll have a DMV person (not officially, just from having spent that much time there), and they'll help you work through the process, which includes an inspector examining your car in the DMV parking lot. The harder one to meet is Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) you mentioned above, which includes crash testing.

It's one thing to work on your car and get it to pass smog. It's another thing entirely to buy a dozen of them.
Regen braking will do that. I suspect it’d be a much closer competition at, say, 80mph stead state.
If it's encrypted, or random, either way, it's not packet data.

Encrypted data is no more proof or evidence than deleted or withheld or never-existed data.

It might as well be an empty file with a note that says there is some data somewhere if you just knew the url to it. That would not constitute data itself, and neither does encrypted data.
What a titillating thought, how much more skillful and deep we are than all those people!
The two things that boil my blood when dealing with SecOps people are:

1) Dropping all ICMP packets on the floor for "security" reasons, which means that basic diagnostics is now impossible, you get random issues with software that uses PING, and Path MTU Discovery is broken forever.

2) Leaving internal firewall ports with the default settings, which are intended for Internet-facing ports. For example, for "denied" incoming traffic from the Internet, the correct response is to silently drop the packet. Internally, the correct thing to do is to respond with a NACK to instantly close the connection. Without this, you spend days and days chasing down random and difficult-to-troubleshoot timeouts and weird 30-second delays all over the place.

As a random example, Windows RDP makes a HTTP call out to the Internet from the server to verify a CRL. This is safe and secure. Without this, bad certificates can't be blocked. Unfortunately, this happens in the "SYSTEM" context, which tends not get proxy settings applied to it, so it is often blocked, with a 30-second timeout. This failure is cached for 24 hours on the server, which causes a maddening delay when you connect to servers. Every day. Every server. But you can't reproduce it, because the second time it won't happen. (It also won't happen if anyone else connects to the server right before you.)

Years later, I still get angry remembering the snarky comments by the firewall guy saying that I'm just imagining things.
I developed a reaction to Dexcom adhesive after a few months of use. It slowly got worse to the point where I couldn’t leave one on for more than 4-5 days and it would leave a welt that took 15 days to heal. I haven’t ever used Flonase but the hydrocolloid does a great job. I wouldn’t be able to use them at all otherwise (and I have type 1 diabetes, so it’s important).

90% likely doesn't include the efficieny of the prop?
> I never mentioned threat, but there has to be an authoritarian aspect of parenting. You cannot have cookies before bedtime, no matter how loud you’re going to cry. Benevolence is desired, but having both parents be pushovers sets the child up for drastic failure. This does not imply abuse. It’s called socializing a kid.

And it is, frankly, idiotic to have that authority put on parent who spend least time with the kid. While making parent who spend most time with the kid helpless.

> Single parent households on both sides of the equation are horrible. Yes people persevere, but much of the issues we see in inner city are due to single mothers and men leaving their family or being incarcerated unjustly. No amount of money injected into those communities counters this.

Frankly, bullshit. Single parents households are not universally worst across cultures. And the "being incarcerated unjustly" implies way bigger stress factors in play then just single motherhood.

And for that matter, money being injected into those communities so that you don't have single mothers working two jobs would actually do good. Or so that people are simply not desperate and stressed. Do you even listen to yourself?

I think it's more that the (ad-riddles, SEO-centric) internet is no longer the education tool it used to be, but chatgpt is. I asked it to walk me through cross-compiling for an old NAS, how to setup Ethernet over coaxial in my custom setup, what legal advice.I should take,etc etc. It did not give perfect answers, but the answers were good enough to build upon, and after working with of for so long, it really feels like it's a friend that's trying to help.

Caching/make the homepage static if possible.
