Such a lawsuit, if one was filed, would be in civil court, where nothing is guaranteed. If, in the unlikely case that the suit was not settled and it actually went to jury, no judge would direct that jury that truckers "absolutely are responsible for any damages."

If you are tailgating directly behind a rock truck with a big sign "stay back 200 feet" for an extended period of time, or end up right behind the truck because you're in a big hurry, or because you thought you could squeeze through an empty lane, a good lawyer could absolutely argue, successfully, that you are at least halfway responsible for the damage, if not 100%.

Thanks for the suggestions. I read the first book in the Children of Time series and really enjoyed it. I don't think the next two books had been released yet when I read it, so I definitely will go and follow up on those. I will give the Hyperion quadrilogy a look, too.

I agree with your take that Andy Weir's writing can feel a bit lacking - at least in the Martian. But I was willing to give him a bit of a pass based on how the story was originally self-published in serial form. My hope is that Project Hail Mary will be a bit more refined - but even if it reads just like the Martian, I am definitely interested to give it a read.
The way you have phrased this is very disingenuous.

> Importantly, if you look at lists of "C/C++" security holes, you find it is almost all C security holes. So when they write "C/C++" they are hoping you won't notice they are lying to you.

As these "C-isms" are part of the base language, and you cant 'opt out', this means the base language is still included in the lists. Most C++ applications still linked (and used symbols from) the system libc runtime.

I do not write C++ with any regularity, because I like my C footguns and dont want additional layers of footguns in my code. last time I tried writing C++, it allowed you to use after free, access raw memory pointers with no validation, iterate off the end of arrays and integer overflow and underflow, all without using "C" style constructs.

Maybe it has changed, maybe C++ is now not as insane as it used to be and smart auto magic pointers solve everything. I'd love to read about how modern C++ solves these issues, do you have any resources ?
I'l also give a shout-out to Airbyte (https://airbyte.com/), with which I've had some limited success with integrating Salesforce to a local database. The particular pull for Airbyte is that we can self-host the open source version, rather than pay Fivetran a significant sum to do this for us.

It's an immature tool, so I don't yet know that I can claim we've spent _less_ than Fivetran on the additional engineering and ops time, but it feels like it has potential to do so once stabilized.
> No one denied any Jewish claims

Yes you did. You said Israel was created by "forcefully stealing land." The vast majority of Jewish migrants in the late 19th century bought the land. If you're talking about the 1949 war... well, it was a war, in which the Israelis agreed to the fair UN partition plan, and the Arab states did not. At the very least, "stealing" is a very reductive way to summarize it.

> by saying it’s complicated, are trying to paint a simple picture

But is is complicated! That is actually true, and that's OK!

> in which Israel apparently didn’t do anything wrong

Of course Israel has done things wrong.

> That’s actually incredibly partisan

I am trying my absolute best to make comments in the spirit of HN. If you think it's too partisan to engage with, then I'm sorry, but you should know that I really did try.
This is not AI.

Can we filter posts that erroneously uses the topic AI?

This is NOT an intelligent assiant. I’ve worked with intelligent assistants and this is not even close.

This a statical model prone to error. It’s just frustrating to see AI as continuous, click-bait on a forum that’s advocating intelligent discourse.

Further, we are so far from AI that using the term is not only dishonest, but click bait like.

I hate how they changed complication buttons in the last major update. It used to be if I raised my Watch I could immediately tap my timer complication and it'd open my timer app. Now it's like the screen is constantly partially transparent and tapping the complication doesn't do anything unless the watch is at exactly the right angle. So confusing.

difference of 5000 fighters vs 12000 embedded civilians
I attended MATSS 2023 this year and it was pretty clear that selling services on top of fiber was where most of the vendors are headed. Things like parental control/safety software built into the ISP provided router and vendor deals (such as Calix CPE networking + Arlo security cameras) but one large vendor suggested that there's a market of something like 25% of ISP customers who would pay higher subscription fees to gain access to a lower latency connection if one were available.

Latency is tricky, though. ISP controlled latency is only manageable on the ISP network which could be huge (like someone riding ATT across the country from start to finish) or very small. So that would mean basic QoS and would only be relevant if the network gear was overloaded and had to pick certain packets to prioritize. Plus, with BGP a preferred route might get cut and a much higher latency route takes its place.

It's much easier to regulate and police transfer speeds while latency tests would only be relevant from CPE to the test server. We run our own speedtest server and customers in town don't even leave our network to hit it. Customers a couple of towns north have a lot more fiber to go through to get to that same server, so either the allowed latency unreliability would be high or ISPs would just put speedtest servers at every POP to game it.

It’s not a question of evidence, but the law. There is no “duty to deal” with other firms. But if you choose to do so, you have to do so fairly.
Yeah I’d be a lot more confident about this if you talked some about consistency vs. availability and the details of your workload that made you want to choose this trade off.

I have potentially a weird experience path here — worked with Galera a bunch early on because when we asked customers if they wanted HA they said “yes absolutely” so we sunk a ton of time into absolutely never ever going down.

When we finally presented the trade off space (basically that 10 minute downtime windows occasionally could basically guarantee that we wouldn’t have data loss) we ended up building a very different product.

> I don't agree with standing militaries

The libertarian in me doesn't either. The realist in me isn't sure we can just stand them down in our current world.

> I also don't agree with most border controls

The libertarian in me would agree with this too, but only in the libertarian version of the US where we don't have a welfare state (which, historically, was the condition under which all previous immigrants to the US came here). You appear to have a similar view.

> I'm of the opinion that terrorism can't be defeated through primarily military means.

I don't think this is true. What is true that, to defeat terrorism militarily, you have to be willing to let your military do whatever is necessary to accomplish that mission, rather than hamstringing it with completely unrealistic rules of engagement. The French, for example, had no trouble defeating terrorism in Algeria militarily. They did it by, for example, not caring about how much civilian collateral damage was caused when the terrorists used civilians as human shields.

The obstacles to, for example, doing in Afghanistan what the French did in Algeria are political, not military.

> Terrorism is a form of psychological warfare against a population, you defeat that by not allowing one-off attacks to stoke fear and drive to over reactions.

Yes, and also by convincing the population, most of whom are not terrorists, that the terrorists are going to lose. If your military gets excoriated in the press every time a civilian is killed as collateral damage, then not just the terrorists, but the civilian population in their country, will understand that the terrorists are not going to lose--because you don't have the political will to defeat them.

There were. They’re known as maula pistols in the book. They’re only mentioned in passing, so they would be easy to overlook.
I’d say it’s a reasonable take.

Israel’s response is disproportionately aggressive as they’re dropping air bombs on civilian infrastructure and putting a blockade on basics like food, medicine, water.

That being said at an international level, it’s an anarchy. If Israel wants to commit genocide and wipe Gaza and Westbank off the map, they likely have the power to do so.

At this point, they are seeking pent up revenge and likely no longer see Palestinians on equal footing as humans.

I’m likely generalizing but from what I see in TikTok, it’s pretty gore out there.

Not really. SpaceX survived before they raised a lot of money for Starship and Starlink. They didn't have a lot of money and at that point they couldn't really sell at a loss. Their programs, Commercial Cargo cost them more then expected. And Commercial Crew wasn't anywhere close to making money.

SpaceX sold launches at around 60-70 million $ and that made it profitable. Once the proved out reuse, they were able to get investors. My contention is that unless they could actually show reuse they could have never raised they amount of money they did, it wouldn't make sense.

Another way of thinking about it is, what based on basic principles is the cost of building these things. Various people have estimated this stuff. 20-30 million $ for the first stage with engines, 5-15 million $ for the second stage, 6 million $. Probably 20-30% overhead for operations and fixed cost.

Now things are different. The first stages are going on 20 reuses. The second stage is now being mass produced pretty significant volume, so price goes. Fairing are reused also. You have the same size operations team that is far more efficient. A team that used to do 10 launch now does 50 launches. Moving to automated range safety is one big such optimization. The launch pad utilization is far higher.

So most people who look at this come out for with a marginal cost of about 15-20 million $ per launch. You can be conservative and say 30 million but it hard to come up with reason why it should be so high. At the same time they are still selling launches at 65 million. And in addition to that, they have many special launches that are likely earn them more, DoD launches, NASA launches, Crew launches and Falcon Heavy launches.

So I think it really, really hard to argue that SpaceX core business isn't very profitable. You would basically have to claim that first stages get totally rebuilt from the ground up and all engines replaced. But we have very good evidence that this isn't the case.

Now of course that doesn't mean SpaceX is profitable, as thanks to the re-usability success, they invested heavily in Starship and Starlink. And those are of course unprofitable investments for now. Starlink is starting to turn around, but Starship is quite a bit away from that.

What can maybe be argued is that if you only had say 10 launches a year, re-usability wouldn't be worth it for various reason.
It sounds like you're advocating to nationalize app stores, much like other public utilities should have or should continue to stay in public hands.

there were a few scam SpaceX live streams on YouTube where they would play footage of Elon on stage at night from when starship was first unveiled.

The scammers would overlay an AI deep fake of Elon’s voice and push a crypto currency scam!

Those channels were called SpaceXUS or SpaceXLive etc. with legit looking SpaceX logo.

Somehow they managed to gain 1k live followers to boost it in the YouTube algo.

If I can put my paranoia cap on for a moment. The baseband processor having privileged access to the main processor may be a "feature" not a bug. It's a powerful processor, that is running constantly, has unlimited and continuous inscrutable communication with the network, is the gatekeeper for the main processors communication with the network, and it's firmware is practically required by regulations to be an opaque blob. Seems to be pretty much the ideal place for nefarious deeds.
Sports Illustrated publisher fires CEO Ross Levinsohn after AI scandal
I agreed with his review on the basis of movie making, not it's adherence to the canon or the novel. I'm a huge fan of the books and sci-fi and this movie was obviously a thinly veiled attempt at marvelizing as if it was some kind of ya novel. Plus the ever-present dullness and general non-alieneness of the set and lighting. dull at best and frankly. a little bit insulting.
It's as simple as using thrusters to keep the propellant settled. milli-gee thrust (or even lower) has been shown to be sufficient for settling cryo propellant in upper stages during long coasts. SpaceX has been experimenting/analyzing settling of cryo propellant (LOx) during hours-long coasts for years, now. It's a requirement for doing direct-GSO insertion for an upper stage (or even doing any relights or deorbit burns, for that matter), which they've already done.

"But wait, it's supposed to be more complicated than that!"
No, really, they've been doing this stuff for years, and settling propellant for upper stage coasts really is virtually the same thing as settling for propellant transfer (transferring to the engine(s) for relight vs transferring to another stage... in fact you have to be MORE careful to avoid bubbles when feeding propellant to an engine than you do when transferring propellant to another tank).

They still need to do the whole launch-two-starships-then-dock-them bit, plus quick connect fittings, but they already have years of experience with autonomous rendezvous and docking from operating Dragon at ISS (Dragon 2 has that capability, and it has been used for the uncrewed Dragon 2 demo mission plus the recent cargo Dragon 2 missions, plus I think it's the nominal choice even for crewed missions).
