Starship development is projected to cost 2 billion this year alone, and they have a lot left to do (developing the HLS upper stage variant, orbital refueling) so it seems likely that SpaceX will lose money on this.

Are you implying Pass is proprietary?

In case clarification is needed: Pass is GPL licensed, open source software.

GPL is not the same as the GNU Project. The former is a license; the latter is collaborative project composed of multiple software packages and their respective contributors, typically using the GPL license.

I fail to see how the authorship of a project makes something (non)proprietary — in all definitions I’ve seen, it’s the terms under which software is permitted to be shared that determines if something is proprietary or not.

> the screen of your app is also a source of asynchrony

Exactly!

That’s why wrapping a “dialog” or “form” or “screen” into a Promise is such a powerful technique. When the user closes the dialog, the promise resolves with a result (e.g. whether the user clicked OK or Cancel), which then you can use for whatever else needs to be done, including invoking another dialog/form/screen!

This makes UI composable, and with async/await “hiding” the promise continuations, the syntax for doing that is essentially the same as when composing ordinary functions.

Buildings don't have holes punched in them on the ground floor for restaurants! Buildings are almost always the widest at the base (for obvious reasons).

"Punch holes" means actually removing building mass, not just adding windows. The floor plans on office buildings are so massive that you literally need to punch holes into every floor to bring windows inwards for apartments. This is a good example: https://twitter.com/SustainableTall/status/16572851981518315...

I guess the advantage of passing ownership to the trust is that you're not involved anymore. If you keep shares you know that at some point in your life (or at the end of your life) you'll have to pass those to somebody else or setup a trust. Finding somebody else is hard, because it must be somebody that simultanously you trust deeply and who is willing to take on the responsibility to keep aligned with whatever way you want to company to be managed. So you setup a trust instead. Well, if you setup a trust immediately you don't have to think about that any more!

Asian cities are very different from the West, so not sure lessons apply. Although Berlin is probably more affordable in PPP terms, and relative to population has more rapid transit than those asian cities (500km for 4.6Mio ppl).

In virtually all dimensions, Berlin transit is better than every US system, Except NYC. Which is ironically the only place Ive ever seen anybody pee in the subway, and that one is supposedly “protected” by turnstiles.

The US has a homelessness epidemic, Berlin has some problems in this area as well. This is a problem thats orthogonal to the transit system, and has to be solved by society at large. Turnstiles don’t solve homelessness.

Isn't the point of quicksort that the randomization of the pivot selection means that you're extremely unlikely to run into a pathological case for the specific pivot chosen?

And perhaps even more unlikely if you permute the input sequence before sorting it.

I'm basing this off of my understanding of Skiena's discussion of quicksort in The Algorithm Design Manual.
> Are you imagining that anyone involved in ride-sharing is going to retrofit different seatbelt tech to existing car?

Not the parent, but I wouldn't imagine that. However most unlicensed taxi services require fairly new vehicles (as do many taxi licensing regimes). If the manufacturers put in better pre-tensioning in their future model years, it won't be long before taxis have them.
I'll spend 20 minutes looking for more versions in text if I find videos first, and only watch the video as a last resort. I'm sure we're just a year away from someone hooking YouTube to ChatGPT and then it writes article versions of videos, and we'll have come full circle.
Ask HN: Would a top-rated MBA mid-career help to break into Big Tech?
I'm an entrepreneur who cofounded and led product for a startup that was eventually acquired (at a modest price) a few years ago. Since then I've been consulting for and investing in startups.

I am now interested in transitioning into a product role at a Big Tech company with a focus on AI, Biotech, or Neurotech. So far, I have not had much luck getting interviews. I don't have the science/engineering background or the domain expertise to break into these fields yet, and am considering applying for top part-time MBA programs as a way to get my foot in the door.

Would love any insights you may have. Thanks.
Compressing Images with Neural Networks in C
The crucial moment when the neural network learns to generate one of the MNIST “8” digits, showing in real time the cost function curve, the neurons and synapses, and the output and input images:

This is my first time using it and I've been very pleased with it so far. It keeps it simple, has solid typing & schema building, and reminds me of LINQ. I'm also a thin models kind of person and the fact this is just an object without needing to build ORM classes is even better.
Most people care about leaving something of value for their descendants. This includes both financial resources and a proud legacy. Indeed, especially late in life, this might be more of a motivator than the limited personal benefit they might derive.
I think the actual measure of it will be a system which has the ability to accept or reject new information, and which possesses something approximating a will to act upon the information it has incorporated.

As impressive as GPTs are, they are fundamentally the sum of the parts that humans feed into them, and they have no capability to reject training updates. Aristotle famously said "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it", and I think that once we hit the point that we're building AIs which can entertain and understanding training input and "consciously" choose to not incorporate it into its understanding of the world, we're probably pretty close.

Some might argue that ChatGPT's well-publicized political discrepancies might qualify, but I'll disagree with this, because (with sufficient access) you could easily take the same base model and continue training it on a new, contradictory dataset and cause it to flip its "opinions". It doesn't have any actual beliefs, just the sum of the training it's been given.
The thread was flagged by community members. Admins didn't moderate it and in fact, after looking at the article (which a user emailed and asked us to do), I've turned the flags off.

But NASA gets a lot more future benefit from Starship tech, whereas the BO solution is completely useless for Mars, or really anything involving a larger crew. So the pricing makes not much sense. Of course this is an incredibly minor problem compared to the vast amounts of money that are wasted on SLS instead of being invested in private rockets.
Ouch. That feels even harsher to the idea than what I'm saying. :D

To your point, my "for most people" is aimed at this forum. Not the folks doing the work. Is incredibly cool that the folks doing this are also on the forum, but I think it is safe to say they are not most of the folks on here. That not the case?
Hi sorry for the late reply. I have been using Pancreatin 2000 from Now. They are over the counter. They are about 20$ per 250 capsule bottle. All the stuff I read said that porcine pancreatine over the counter is effective and it has been my experience. My doctor and I discussed it and she said that I should continue using the brand since I have responded well to it. I have tried Veggie pancreatine and it does not help. Its almost like taking nothing at all.

Only indirectly via public opinion, or if the ruling prompts some action in France to push for some legislation in Brussels or a treaty between Germany and France.

It's similar to how a state-level court ruling in Florida has no legal weight on cases in Minnesota. Maybe it stirs some public opinion that spurs on some federal legislation or causes some Minnesota residents to pressure their state legislature for some new laws or some reciprocity agreement with Florida, but there's no legal weight across the disjoint legal systems.

I see a lot of discussion here about quicksort as an alternative.

If I'm understanding correctly, we're talking about sorting integers. Would something like radix sort not be more appropriate? Or is there a reason to still prefer a more generic sorting algorithm?

My favorite was my 2007 Ford Ranger regular cab pick up truck with just the one row of seata, which had a presumably mandatory visor safety sticker saying the back seat is the safest place for children. It had a weight sensor for the front passenger seat and wouldn't arm the airbag unless a weighty enough passenger was present. You could get a factory approved switch if that wasn't good enough, but then you need to remember to check it and switch it as appropriate for the passenger.
I seriously doubt doctors are aggressively pushing eating well and exercising.

Have you ever... been to a doctor when you've been obese? I assure you that they will indeed push eating well and exercising to obese people. Even when you've already been eating well and exercising. This will not be an intervention by the PCP themselves - your primary can really just refer people to substantial interventions - but they will try to refer you to one of three things.

First, they will recommend a book on healthy eating and exercising.

Second, there is behavioral weight loss, which generally is a combination of an appetite-suppression medication like phentermine and a Very Low Calorie Diet through a pre-made controlled calorie diet (such as Medifast or Optifast). A program like this will absolutely require weigh-ins and blood tests.

Third, they will recommend surgical weight loss, most likely gastric bypass, such as Roux-en-Y. There are guaranteed to be medical follow-ups after the surgery.

If you are not clinically obese, and that's great, no, your PCP will not provide that type of advice. They're not there to help you with subclinical concerns with weight. There are plenty of dietitians out there who can.

Anyway, that's not a resounding no - it is extremely common to be referred to these programs if you have any substantial level of obesity. If you're obese, and you haven't been referred to these programs by your PCP, that might be an issue with your primary.

What's exciting about these new peptides is that a simple once-a-week injection might be able to be prescribed by a primary with limited intervention or without outside specialists or surgery and still have good results in terms of weight-loss, as opposed to the truly exhausting requirements of a medically-assisted VLCD or weight loss surgery.

Finally, I have no idea what you're talking about Vitamin D. I've both been diagnosed with a Vitamin D deficiency by my primary (through blood tests!), and Vitamin D supplements are easily available over the counter without a prescription.
I would imagine the vast majority of OpenWRT users don't know they're running the Linux kernel. It was installed by the manufacturer or the operator. Assuming that's true, does it make OpenWRT not a distro?

I understand your usage of the word "distro". I think it's useful, but also quite a bit misleading (for example, Wikipedia[1] lists Android as a distro).

Perhaps there ought to be another word for distributions of Linux that require user to take active part in either replacing a manufacturers' choice or setting it up from scratch on an otherwise "empty" system. But I don't know what it would be.

Great deduction. My experience aligns with what you said and taking enzymes has tremendously helped my mood and energy levels.(and flatulence, alot I mean hugely changed it after starting enzymes.)

That’s a misconception that cgo is slow, it’s improving and it’s not slow, when it comes to stacks, Go with its resizable stack and it’s concurrency it’s not hard to say that it’s very much Go is different from other languages. From a normal C function call that returns immediately there’s not much over head BUT when C function takes time with the runtime expecting return value, the runtime will try to align with the C stack creating a more traditional stack, I think there’s a proposal for a directive to let the compiler know there’s no need for the runtime to wait
