Are there any alternatives in the continental USA?

Will the super heavy need to launch from as near to the equator as possible? Or does it require higher latitudes?
That's not accurate. Downsizing doesn't always blur.
That's really not true, there's not a lot of open east-facing coastland anywhere in the US. Basically all coastlands are protected!

The only "safe" place to launch is in Florida on land that was grandfathered into being an EPA-free zone back in the 1960s by NASA.
Do note that sqrt should return the same results on all libm implementations, as well as functions like nextafter or scalbn.
The complexity of OoO CPU is such that you scrutiny correctness of every instruction you implement. Also, OoO behavior depends on the commands preceding and following one to be tested, so you have to have more indirect tests for OoO implementation of CPU commands.
// makes me doubt that I have anything even remotely close to an objective view of things that are close to me.

So first of all, that is the wisest perspective on life! Human perception is objectively limited and recognizing that we may not be seeing (or even capable of seeing) reality is empowering.

But on the topic of exploitation vs fair compensation, I don't think it's impossible to figure out where you stand if you can move your feelings out of the way. Say you're a developer making 600K in my previous example, where an average dev is making I dunno, 150K. Being at 4X the average is a pretty good sign that you have a pretty decent gig going. Can you and should you push it to 700k? Absolutely! But probably no room to feel victimized.

On the flip side, if you're making 60K and hear of someone making 600K - it's less obvious how much of that is you and how much of that is someone underpaying you because they are greedy or because they can't? To suss it out - question #1 is - can they even afford to pay more? Like if you work for a mom-and-pop whose whole profit might be 600K for the year, you're in a pretty capped situation no matter who you and and what you'd do, so in terms of pure comp you should find something else. And then - how do you know if you're "as good" as the guy making 600K? One thing to try would be to interview for those FAANG jobs and see how close or far you're to landing them. If you are capable and persistent, you find yourself there. Maybe not making 600 but not making 60 either. On the flip side, if you can't then maybe you can't and maybe 60 or something like that is fair.

Still no guarantee of objectivity but this is how one would gather the data.

Care to share what would it be useful for?

I mean, and I'm asking as a backend dev, if you have to integrate with some API, you use the provided docs/swagger ui.

Why/when would you care to rely on an API integration when it's interface is not publicly shared?
I don't expect my preferred JS framework to remain the same though. I know that it's short-lived. I like that. Moving forwards, making progress, and improving are why I use React, Vue, Svelte, etc. I don't want something that's static right now, because none of the available frameworks (including Web Components) solve problems particularly elegantly.

If the argument is that a site made with Web Components will outlast a site built with a JS framework then I'd be tempted to take that bet. I honestly think it's more likely that some part of the Web Components tech stack will be removed from Chrome, Safari, and Firefox in the next 20 years, consequently breaking apps built with them, than JavaScript will change in a way that means a React 16 app I wrote 2 years ago will break.

That’s not true, though: the OSI model has connection-oriented services at the lower layers too.
Been there, seen that. I feel like culturally we're told that this behaviour is unusual so we are constantly surprised. Some scepticism and school-of-life in our earlier education might be for the best, no matter how disappointing it would be to hear.
Ever so slightly degraded perhaps in some cases but "blurry" is overstating it. And worth the trivial cost if such dumb-as-bricks techniques take hold.

One could also submit each image to an image-to-image model with a blank prompt and the right settings to essentially ask for almost a copy, and come out with washed images. Could even do a sharpening (or upscale and sharpening for that matter) at the same time. It has a small (tiny really) GPU cost per image but it's a one-time cost.
This isn't specific to "uninformed people born into the information age", or even supernatural-believing or religiously-inclined people. People assign meaning to seeing someone who looks just like somebody who lived 150 years ago and deem him a time traveler. They see a TikTok on how the Chick-fil-a spelling is not what they thought and conclude we're living in a simulation. The list goes on, but people like to pile on the religious because it's easy.

And those people may be uninformed when it comes to tech -- which is in part understandable because why should a plumber learn to read binary, but be more humble. You're equally just as "uninformed" as they are in when you enter their world.

One mistake newer generations make is thinking that we're the first to observe something. People's tendency to 'discover ghosts' is as old as the earth.

People accidentally burn their clothes when ironing and they think its a Virgin Mary apparition. A jet flying at a very high altitude? Aliens.
My experience has been similar to yours and from day one way back in the early 80's I was taught that OSI is a model and that no real-world networking protocol adhered to it. Period end. Forty years ago OSI wasn't taught as a framework or a standard - and this was within 5 years of it being developed! It was always taught as a model to understand the different aspects and functions of machine to machine communications. That's it and that's all!

In fact, it was this model that enabled the development and rapid adoption of the internet. People knew and understood, from day one, which OSI layer abstractions were collapsed into and managed by which parts of the TCP/IP protocol. People knew and understood, again from day one, where protocols such FTP, HTTP, and SMTP stood in the model. People understood where physical things like routers, bridges and gateways fit in the model and what functions were being served. The OSI model facilitated the explosion in networking that took place in the 80's and 90's - I know because I was there and watched it happen and was utilizing the model in creating solutions at the time!

And this is why pay transparency is a legal right, as part of discussing working conditions with colleagues.

Then again, I think the next step to move towards is to recognize that we techies are going towards "factory code-work", and to respond with unionization appropriately. And unions arent just for getting more money, but also demand for payment of overtime, sane vacation policies, remote work, and more.

And yes, I'm an 8-n-skate. Want me longer? Fuckyoupayme. I dont work for free.
For how long are the recordings stored?
They used two sets of controls: 1, an entire set of communities where the vaccination wasn't offered at all, and 2, children who were not eligible due to age. They weren't just comparing children who got the vaccine with children who didn't, they were comparing children who were eligible for the vaccine and those who weren't, and that couldn't have been so easily confounded:

"79 areas where the RTS,S vaccine was administered and 79 comparator areas where it was not available"

"Researchers then compared the death rates of babies whose age made them eligible to receive three doses of the vaccine with those of young children who were not age-eligible for three doses, in both RTS,S areas and unvaccinated areas."

This is obviously not foolproof, but it seems like a substantial bulwark against obvious confounders.

If you can show that 1) the mortality rate in the vaccinated communities was lower in the age-eligible children than not-age-eligible[0] and 2) this effect was absent in unvaccinated communities that seems like it goes quite far towards proving that it's real and not an artifact. It probably even underestimates how protective it is at an individual level.

(communities which had the vaccine offered also had fewer cases of severe malaria recorded in their hospitals, so there's a straightforward reason to think it does something)

[1] okay probably age-ineligible children have a different mortality rate regardless. You'd be taking the difference between those two groups of children and comparing it to the same difference in communities without the vaccination offered. This difference-of-difference would tell you whether the vaccine is doing anything. It wouldn't matter if only the richer children received the vaccine if the communities have basically the same distribution of wealth since you're comparing differences between age cohorts, not between vaccinated and unvaccinated.

> One thing though, you focus a lot on syscalls, but I think the challenge in recent years has been to find new ways to have kernel <-> userspace interactions _outside_ of syscall, which are cumbersome to use, rigid in structure, and practically speaking, there are only so many entries you can store in an IDT.

There's always ioctls. You could have something a lot like /proc and /sys, with a directory hierarchy modelling various interesting things, but rather than the files having textual contents, you interact with them via ioctls. ioctls are identified by a device-specific integer, so you have masses of namespace (about 2*32 operations per device type, and you can have a lot of device types). They take or receive a block of memory in one go, so there is no parsing or formatting or worrying about inconsistent reads. I think this is even simpler than protocol-esque interfaces like netlink.

I suspect almost everyone on HN isn't legally bound to their employer, so I also reject the "exploitation" bit.

But I do want to challenge the compensation argument:

> For example, it's common to see HN posts describing someone as "subjecting themselves to unpaid overtime" when they work hard - meanwhile the person saying it is making $60K while the person being talked about is making $600K.

Higher paying jobs naturally have higher expectations. OTOH, I've also had managers/ employers who used "we pay you well" an excuse for all kinds of garbage treatment, specifically _avoidable_ garbage treatment: short notice evenings, weekends, _holidays_; denying vacation to compensate for staffing; pressuring folks to return from (legally protected) medical or family leave; required to do work completely out of the job's scope; and so on.

Now, some jobs are inherently like that. If the expectations are set up front and adhered to, then it's a free choice on each side. IME, lots of jobs don't have to be that way, the expectations aren't set up front, and expectations change. It takes only one jerk with a title to ruin things.

In my third scifi book, slightly in the future, I predict how phones will change.

Foldable phone tech will continue to get better.

Wireless charging will reach room scale.

Now combine, you don't need much battery if all rooms of your space station wireless charge.

Your phone now can fold and be on your wrist like a watch, and unfold and detach as necessary.
There are also complications with free will. I believe the illusion of free will comes from emergent properties of the universe where every particle follows the rules fastidiously with no exceptions. I find this realization gives me comfort in a way that religion never has, because I merely have to drift along with the universe, taking in its wonders while the things that happen must happen because of the interplay of particles and interactions. Of course I can "choose" to do things, but I do so with the underlying understanding that "I" am not in control.

>For instance, there is no validity to this theory, since Sapolsky could not have come up with an alternate theory by his own free will.

Actually there is no contradiction or paradox here; of course he couldn't have come up with an alternate theory because of his initial configuration. And had he done so, there would be a physical explanation for it, buried in the complexities of reality.
I do desire for someone to somehow prove the existence of free will, but I've yet to discover a theory that allows for someone who is made of stuff to not behave as stuff does. Show me a soul particle or way to influence a human body, singly and consistently, and I'll change my views. On the other hand, I've seen(personally) too many humans change their fundamental behavior due to illness, old age, and drugs. Do they have the free will to change? Or why could their spirit not have resisted these affronts to what their previous selves would have considered core behavior? I'm not sure science is the proper domain to remit these questions.

Waymo has way more sensors. Most importantly, it has Lidar.
[stub for offtopicness - come on you guys, please don't do this here]

Edit: perhaps I should explain what the "this" is that you shouldn't do here. It's covered by this guideline from https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html: "Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something." (as well as this one of course: "Don't be snarky.")

The trouble with shallow dismissals, such as reflexive reactions to a title, is that they don't contain enough information to be interesting, and they spread like weeds in a thread—especially a new thread, because those are so sensitive to initial conditions. If they spread too much, they choke out good discussion altogether.

I don't favor OO either! The HN archives of yore have a lot of me arguing about it and I like a good OO bitch session as much as anyone. But for a good HN thread, we need comments that are about the specific work being posted, and this is obviously interesting work on teaching programming to kids.
(I am the person you're responding to.) I think your attitude is right and will pay you in the medium or long term if not immediately. You can't control what you can't control but you CAN control a lot - how you work, how you look for job, etc. You'll be fine!
It's the sensors and Lidar.

The question is how Transport for London is such an inexcusable dumpster fire. I'm sorry London, but your public transit is the most expensive I've ever encountered and the least efficient public transit system I've encountered outside of the United States.

It generally gets you where you need to go, but often via roundabout routes. Both buses and trains are often delayed and sometimes don't arrive at all, so you best not be in a hurry. Trains are so expensive that a car ride is usually more cost effective, even with the congestion fees.

I think I agree with everything you've said here, but I want to offer a caution to those who pursue hard work that is fun.

I've worked in all permutations of your descriptions. If I believe in a project and can get good results on it, and much moreso if I'm having fun, I will work very hard. If I don't believe in it or have trouble getting good results or no one cares, then it's very hard for me to motivate myself.

Obviously, I prefer the situations where I'm highly motivated, and in fact I've worked very hard on some projects. Too hard, in fact.

The fact that a project is something you believe in, that you're highly motivated, that you can make a difference with it, or that you're having a lot of fun, doesn't make overwork healthy.

I've overworked myself a couple of times in my life. I hesitate to describe the worst case; I don't think readers will believe my description of what I did. Suffice to say that I worked on a new system project at Apple and was highly motivated to make it succeed (it didn't). I owned a small non-tech business at the same time.

I worked way too hard for a while. I didn't mind it. On the contrary, I was deliriously happy to do it. Nobody had to ask me to work hard. But it still did me harm.

I don't know for sure that working like that caused or contributed to the chronic illnesses I now have, but I do know that the literature on one of them says that it's correlated with excessive hours worked and excessive exercise. I did both. (My side business involved a lot of intense exercise.)

Oh, and if the overwork did cause or contribute to my chronic illness, then it may also have cost me a fortune. I went bankrupt in the process of getting one of those illnesses properly diagnosed and treated. So even if hard work does happen to pay really well, that doesn't necessarily make it worthwhile--not even necessarily financially worthwhile.

Again, nobody made me work like that. I did it because I was motivated and having fun. It was nevertheless very bad for me. That became clear over the months after I did it, and I may still be paying for it.

You might think that I would have learned my lesson from that episode, and that's true to some extent. I've never worked that hard again. I have worked too hard since then, though. It's a consequence of personality traits, I think. It's a trap I can too easily fall into, even though I know better. So I have to keep watch and listen to my loved ones and my doctors when they warn me that I'm trending that way.

In short: don't think that fun and motivation make you immune to the ill effects of overwork. They don't.
