Musk is so fickel, he has been the CEO of a company for 20 years with a laser focus on a single goal. So fickel.

Also, you can't support companies on 'a lower level' if you want to do thing like land on the moon.

The question is how could NASA budget most effectively used to turn humanity into an advanced space flight spices.

The way NASA evaluated and financed these contracts is very questionable if those are the goals they had. But unfortunately their contracting is and was very restricted on a set of very particular minimum requirements. No extra money for over-achieving, even if over-achieving would have been incredibly useful.

P.S: And btw, with SpaceX they are trusting a real proven space company that has man costumers, lots of revenue and so on. BlueOrigin is just a Bezos hobby project that literally depends on multiple billions a year on Bezos private money, they have basically no revenue and want have for years.
That's not really deep into semantics if it's the whole point. Something you know is by definition not externalized, and thus has a different type of security.
I suppose "glands" means rubber grommets?
Ummm.. Sure, but what's happening here is that FreeBSD stores a list in a file not in the desired order, then sorts it before use.

It seems to be any prolonged discussion about which sorting algorithm should be used is sort of skipping the elephant. Why is the list not sorted to begin with?

Without that basic knowledge it isn't very productive to focus on implementation details, no matter how fun the sorting exercise is. Deleted code is fast code.
People love to cite how "behind" Apple is in this space, but never say how. This is another variation of the oft-repeated mistake of lumping Apple in with "Big Tech" in all ways. Apple is not a gatekeeper to vast portions of the Internet the way Google and Amazon are. Nor is it obvious how Apple or its customers stand to benefit from generative "AI" at this point.

So, if anyone really thinks Apple is suffering from being "behind" in it, by all means expound on how. I'm genuinely interested.
In the "Use as a `do` expression" section, the example which uses `run` does not need the `else` cases and could be simplified:

function doWork() {
const x = run(() => {
if (foo()) return f();
if (bar()) return g();
return h();
});

return x * 10;
}
It's a spectrum, but the more weight the popular vote carries, the further towards that end it is.

People today think of the US as one "country" but when its Constitution was written it was much closer to the EU: an alliance and economic free trade and free movement area with basic shared rules.

The vote to create the United States was done by unanimity of Member States not by a popular vote.

Is the EU a "democracy"?
Oh joy, I feel like a kid on Christmas unwrapping my third pair of socks.
If UFOs are real then that necessarily implies the existence of some new physics beyond general relativity. We thought that Newtonian mechanics could explain everything about motion until we learned that it is only an approximation of relativity. Is it possible that relativity is only an approximation of some more comprehensive theory?

Perhaps not, and I am highly skeptical of the whole concept of UFOs in general, but I can't prove a negative.
What the GP is describing is absolutely not user stories. For a start, if he talked to the users before he started, he would get something completely different.
Coming from someone who would love this article to be real, it sounds like a real wack job. "100% certainty aliens are among us" because 12 politicians have signed a document asking for info on UFOs? That is such an insane leap...

A law is something which is observed to be true. We're not talking about a legal law/rule that's enforced. In that sense it's one and the same.
This was an excellent explanation, thank you for taking the time to write it out!
Whatever Musk does on twitter has nothing to with NASA being forced by congress to have a second provider for these missions.

Essentially none. It's all make-work (or, since they're intent on breaking things more than fixing them, break-work.)
> This is a perfect scenario to take advantage of code generation. I wrote a code generator that takes a template and generates the optimized kernels for each operation. The code generator is written in TypeScript and generates WebGPU compute shader code. This means that the generated code can be heavily optimized for the given scenario and those optimizations can be shared between operations.

A clever way to implement an AOT variant of the operator fusion methods in the XLA (JIT) compiler.
I ran a couple developer experience teams at Google over a period of a few years. The motto was "easy, fast, and fun". Too much software development isn't.
At its core it's a pretty simple multi-tenancy arrangement. Think something like this:

tenants (id, updated_at)
tenants_users (id, updated_at, tenant_id, user_id)
products (id, updated_at, name, tenant_id)
product_variants (id, updated_at, product_id, name)

One of the tenants views a page that does a simple `SELECT * FROM products ORDER BY updated_at LIMIT 100`. The RLS checks have to reference `products` -> `tenants` -> `tenant_users`, but because of how Postgres does it, every row in products will be checked no matter what you do. (Putting a WHERE clause on the initial query to limit based on tenant or user is pointless, because it'll do the RLS checks before the WHERE clause is applied.) Joins in RLS policies are awful for performance, so your best bet is an IN clause with the cached subquery function, in which case it's still then got the overhead of getting the big blob of IDs and then checking it against every row in `products`.
Matter isn’t based on thread. They’re often used together but they’re distinct parts of the stack.

Matter can be used over wifi for example without any thread at all.
If a passkey is something you know then you are using a failed implementation. A fido/authn device is supposed to be able to attest to never having let the private key out, even with a relaxation to passkeys it should at least be sending it to another device that can attest.
At least in Europe, if enabled by the driver, the car radio listens for EON signals on FM channels, and switches to the indicated channel from whatever is playing (MP3, CD, another channel). They usually do this to indicate that a traffic announcement is happening on the other frequency.

But since this seems to be an FM radio addition, the law should've forced cars to have FM radio as well...

Try to not use it on math. Only GPT-4 has reasonable performance there. GPT 3.5 is also pretty awful. It's apparently extremely hard for any LLM to actually understand math. Maybe because they're language models, not math models, so math is a pretty far fetched "emergent property".
Also dramatically cheaper, and well within hobbiest abilities.

Give me a life altering kickback as a fat cheque each April or get the minimum possible work I can do to keep my job whilst management tries to figure out what that is and if I am viable.

I do maybe 20% a week of my total.

To be clear, I have been through the stress. ESPECIALLY in the games industry where a specific corner/corner collision had me crying and wished I was dead coz it was on me. I solved it, I got nothing.

If any birds are in that situation near a military base or war zone I hope we got some if them in a zoo or dna as a backup for if we invent really good cloning since otherwise those birds are extinct
Also Cucumber test frameworks with Gherkin syntax.
I use both for defence in depth. The SQL always includes the tenant ID, but I add RLS to ensure mistakes are not made. It can happen both ways: forget to include the tenant in the SQL, or disable RLS for the role used in some edge case. For multitenancy, I think it’s absolutely critical to have cross-tenancy tests with RLS disabled.

One of the things I think is important is to make the RLS query is super efficient - make the policy function STABLE and avoid database lookups, get the context from settings, etc.

RLS is pretty great as a backstop, but I found Supabase over-reliant on RLS for security, when other RBACs are available in regular PG. I can’t remember the details now.

I’ve found RLS is great with Postgraphile which uses a similar system to Supabase but is a bit more flexible.
Much like how one mans terrorist is another's freedom fighter.

I was surprised by the stat, it does check out. Out 130 M housing units, 90M are single family (on a phone, citation needed, but that us what I found after a quick google)
For sake of clarity, "you" here means someone or some group.

>> > you have to define what the job is

> Technically, you don't.

Technically, yes, "you" do. Most developers do not solely decide what they get paid for. This sentiment is as absurd as my example: I'll bring a toilet in tomorrow and call the serial processing job done because I delivered (without looking at any sort of work definition).
I'd like to know more, like the power of the beam, and what it does to the drones. I'm not wow'ed to learn that an electronic circuit can be influenced by microwaves, nor that a HF radio beam can be jammed. I note the article didn't claim this thing can be used to disable an autonomous cruise missile using inertial/map-based guidance, and having no radio receiver.
I can find SIGINFO all the way back to 4.3BSD-Reno, released in 1990.
In theory, yes, in practice, it's more complicated.

Supposedly a similar thing happened with the recent attack on the Patriot system in Kiev, i.e. the Russians first sent some cheep Geran drones, the Ukrainians shot them down activating the radars around the Patriot system (or part of the Patriot system? not that clear), then the Russians sent some anti-radar missiles that took those Ukrainian radars out and in the third and last stage they sent some more advanced missiles that directly targeted and damaged the Patriot (which was by then without radar protection). Almost all images of radar systems that I saw from this war in Ukraine involved mobile units, both on the Ukrainians' and on the Russians' side.
The lower the boot time, the more aggressively you can also afford to shut them down when not in use, freeing up capacity.
Can someone explain a bit better what the issues are. What exactly are the issues with migration if you use an SQL script to do the migration instead of the supabase interface?
64Bit (OS) only and kicking out legacy cruft which doesn't just add complexity but also can in some edge cases can make security harder sound like a very sane idea, just maybe kinda late. I mean they probably could have started pushing this in some areas, like server and high-end CPUS, like 5-10years ago.
contrary to popular belief microwaves don't cook from the inside out. if you are getting a vessel in the brain to boil you have just fried their face like a egg
Your artillery fires on my THOR but its projectiles are taken out by my C-RAM. Your artillery’s position is noted by my ISR overhead. Your artillery is destroyed by my longer-range artillery. Your 200 cheap drones attempt to attack but are taken out by my still-extant THOR. I now hit your launching point with my artillery again.
I went through something similar where several of my work assignments put me in europe for couple of years.

Learning AZERTY and QWERTZ (especially for coding) was quite challenging but I got the hang of it quite quickly (just small changes from QWERTY - I almost wish there were a coding specific keyboard so you didn't have to hit shift for things like underscores, plus or the like - some of the european keyboard layouts were way easier (*, ! and other shift sequences are "native") while numerals!! require shift.
Anybody that even remotely believes that Musk 'then gets out of the way' is just delusional. Literally any study of Musk would tell you the exact opposite is true.

He is well known to have 3-4h long discussions with engineering teams going into extreme detail (and doing so until into the night) and making choices and taking responsibility when they fail.

If anything is true about Musk then its that he is the opposite of 'getting out of the way'.

> so his failure on the third point is somewhat self-limiting.

Or what most people who study the subject actually believe, that him 'not getting out of the way' is actually why the companies are successful.

Bezos took the get out of the way approach and BO has spend like 10+ billion with no revenue and will never be profitable, while SpaceX is a highly successful company.
It has lasted longer than every other constitution for every other country.

Doesn't make it the "best" but on the other hand you can't achieve that kind of longevity by "smoking the bad stuff."
For bacteria: I believe their role is to provide nitrogen in the sand by eating algae poop. Nitrogen in the sand is required for plants in that sand to grow.

You can test this a bit:

1. Create a new sphere and fill it with water. Add a bit of sand at the bottom

2. Add algae and fastforward.

3. The algae will multiply, causing the o2 to shoot up.

4. The algae will die off because of the high o2. Their dead bodies (purple dots) will litter the sea floor.

5. Put in some bacteria.

6. You can watch the bacteria eat the purple dots. Note that the sand changes color slightly as they do - I think that's the sand becoming nitrogen-rich.
I was an endurance athlete as a teenager and lately was trying to find my way back via hiking and long distance walking. I had plans to walk a half marathon (just below the time cutoff for the course) this spring but kept running into a wall around 10 miles.

Some days I focused on my pace. Other days I focused on trying to estimate my pace without looking at my watch. Some days I looked at my heart rate. Others I just concentrated on my gate. What are my knees doing? What are my hips doing? What is my core doing?

But after a couple months, I spent about half my time just zoning out and doing walking meditation or enjoying the scenery.

The trick is not to fixate on any one thing. The opposite of fixation is not apathy, it's moderation.
Thanks for the response. I do recall hitting some product limitations (a webhooks "beta" that we tried to use but hit a blocker). Reflecting more, I don't recall the supporting details specifically enough though. Edited original post and apologies for the added noise.
I wonder who is doing the studies to prove no long term harm.
True, but I'm hoping that "failed implementation" is accepted, because the correct implementation is too burdensome for my taste.

>> Cameras don't "generate" an image, if they didn't they'd have the same copyrightability issue that AI generators have

Please elaborate on your statement above. How would you characterize the method by which cameras produce images, and with respect to copyright law, how does this differentiate camera produced images from images produced by other machines?
I wouldn’t say “none”. Real estate in CPUs is extremely expensive.
residential conversion is prohibitively expensive

You're quite right about how the discourse goes, but let me suggest that just as the office space targets and economics are now badly out of date, so are the default assumptions about how space can and should be used. Bureaucrats by nature are incapable of creativity, and their inability to solve the problem means their opinions should be heavily discounted. This isn't to say they have no role to play; after some new solutions emerge, they can look at the ups and downs and codify some new standards. But in a problem situation, they are just in the way.

By that bit I mean to object against a label "thought leaders". I don't know who they are supposed to be, but sounds to me about as ridiculous as complaining about "illuminati". Apparently I didn't chose the right way to denote it and shouldn't have reacted to that at all.

To me actually the parent comment seems like bait - boiling down to "GPT is incapable, otherwise OpenAI would use it to generate the Android app along with the iOS app".

Apologies, I should have written my comment in a better way.

Interesting

There are a decent number of ways that interstellar travel could be accomplished without violating Relativity or requiring super-scifi tech.

Generational ships, species that require fewer resources to thrive or that have manipulable hibernation abilities (for instance, if they have antifreeze blood like some jellyfish do, then they could theoretically be kept in suspended animation for a long time without aging or risk of boredom), or if they are incredibly long lived compared to humans for one reason or another.

Our best telescopes today can see oxygen in the atmosphere of planets that no living human could ever possibly set foot on regardless of what we did. It's possible that another different civilization could have noticed our planet and sent out a scout vessel 200 years ago just to see if it was a viable alternative planet for them to colonize.

But aside from the fun talk of scifi space travel possibilities, I am also very skeptical of UFOs and alien life forms being close enough to meet us during my lifetime. I would need to see them in person to believe that it wasn't yet another hoax.
I wonder if these devices could ever become powerful enough to be mounted on missiles and thrown at helicopters or planes and have them drop out of the sky - or mounting them on Growlers! Could be interesting as an alternative to explosives
I have one, and it’s an excellent machine (15 years old, no sign of wearing out), but the dryer is fairly lacklustre. It can only dry about half a full washing load, but I suspect that’s just physics: however much a machine can dry, it can wash more.

We air-dry everything anyway, so it’s not a problem for us, but I wouldn’t want one somewhere that relied on machine-drying a lot.
The old Shotwell is the reason for all the success anti-Musk line. Classic. Never gets old.

No matter that Shotwell or anybody else in the leadership of SpaceX would agree with this take.

And Shotwell overseeing the Starship program is just a dumb headline. What happened is that operation in Brownsville was simply integrated into the normal SpaceX structures rather then being a somewhat parallel operation. Shotwell was very involved before and after this administrative change. Neither means that much has changed in terms of how the program is lead technically.
You mean when China does dump steel? Literally subsidized by the government. Thats not really analogous to Amazon.
Which votes are you referring to? Unfortunately this is largely a property rights issue so not much has even come to a vote. In theory state legislators could give the government greater statutory authority to seize water rights under eminent domain and pay compensation to rights holders, but the budget impact would be huge.
> Row level security is their "foundational piece", but there is a reason why we moved away from database functions and application logic in database over a decade ago: that stuff in unmaintainable.

Funny. In my experience, application-level authorization checks are very error-prone, easy to accidentally omit, and difficult to audit for correctness."Unmaintainable", I suppose.

Whereas RLS gives you an understandable authorization policy with a baseline assurance that you're not accidentally leaking records you shouldn't be.
How about trying your tech in Ukraine.

> Russian electronic warfare (EW) remains potent, with an approximate distribution of at least one major system covering each 10 km of front. These systems are heavily weighted towards the defeat of UAVs and tend not to try and deconflict their effects. Ukrainian UAV losses remain at approximately 10,000 per month.

Yes. You give away information about your position and capabilities if your defensive system triggers inadvertently.
