This is getting off-topic, but I've given up making heads or tails of authorship.

I know senior authors who are last on a paper just because they're senior and realize they (1) didn't really contribute much at all (they might have just inserted themselves on a paper), and (2) invoke the old meaning of last author knowing that the meaning has changed, so they end up being "the senior author" who gets a lot of credit just because they're senior.

Even producing the data takes on new meaning in an age of open science where datasets are distributed freely. What's the difference between citing an original study paper to give credit to the study PIs, and having them as a last author? Should someone who generates a dataset be last author on every paper using that data?

Sigh. Academics is so broken.

I was under the impression that it took advantage of a rare alignment of planets to not only get a speed boost but also pass by all the planets to get photos of them.

In theory we could just do an arbitrary number of consecutive gravity assists between say earth and mars to get the speed to travel past a single planet to exmaine it and then travel on out of the solar system.

With the cost savings of the new Starship rocket, the increased scale of probes that it would enable, the increase in processing and sensing technology, and the lowered cost that would come from mass production of many probes we could probably end up with a more cost effective solution this way, even if we're sending more probes.

> The suns gravity field is in theory infinite but there is a pretty precise boundary where it stops to have an immediate effect on the things around it and orbits around the sun are no longer a thing.

This is not correct. The particles are not in orbit about the Sun, they're coming from the Sun--they're the solar wind. The heliopause is where the solar wind particles are stopped by the pressure of the surrounding interstellar medium. When Voyager passed that point (the heliopause), the number of particles hitting it dropped drastically.
I grew up hearing this story (it's famous in India), but it's not applicable to the current immigration crisis in Europe / US.

For one thing, the Parsis were lobbying to be allowed in. Europe and US are in need of immigrants due to shrinking, aging populations as their populations stop having kids. Their economies require a working class that they need to import. So immigration bans aren't really an option. And because the immigrants have some leverage in this situation they don't have to lobby like the Parsis did.

In the other case: refugees. This is a policy Europe and the US (and by extension the rest of the world adopted due to their negligence in WWII and the need to resolve that conflict post-war. It's another situation where the immigrants / refugees have the leverage and do not need to lobby. The US and Europe could revoke this policy, but they will suffer in the world if they do.

In contrast, the Parsis and the king in whose kingdom they moved to did not have this backdrop, and there was no need to take them in nor any pre-accepted agreement to amend. Additionally imagine if the Parsis had, 3 or 4 centuries later become a "problem" population in India in spite of the story. It's not as if that story alone kept the entire community from ever committing crimes or otherwise changing the fabric of society. In that scenario, it would not be possible to then remove them once they have moved there for generations. The same thing is true in Europe and North America.
It was for a while the only browser on Windows which allowed 4k Netflix and it was faster for me for a while than Firefox. But I'm still back to FF, just for the "we need something else than Chrome engine browsers" reason. Also, it's fast again here. Yay. Probably some support for codecs was added or it was just a few bad builds.

Also, Edge has left side tabs without the top tab bar, which Firefox still hasn't allowed again without hacks in modern extensions. Hate.

What exactly does that get us? It gets further into space faster? It travels faster? Cheaper to launch?

I mean if it just means it leaves the solar system 20 years faster or something then it seems like cheaper launches far outweigh those favorable conditions.
Man, what on Earth has happened to Microsoft?

It’s not just Edge, Windows is a disaster too. I just got a new laptop, and I was surprised by the sheer amount of bloat (widgets, notifications, crappy Bing AI integration, Edge, etc). It took me a whole afternoon of delving into the registry and group policy editors to clean things up. (EDIT: forgot to mention) And then I started getting a “totally not marketing” “this is a series of welcome emails” spam with no unsubscribe links.

I don't really think YAML is the problem, it's the string-based templating. I'd like to see Emrichen or something like it become more common. And Emrichen is format-agnostic, you can write your stuff in json or YAML and it looks and works pretty similarly. (Although I stick to yaml.)

If JSON had comments I might lean toward json.
To give you another perspective, I’m UK based too and use iMessage daily to stay in touch with my family and close friends. Every now and then I’ll have bad signal (or maybe the recipient does?

It happens so rarely it doesn’t really register, and I’d wager it costs me less than a quid a year (on EE, but I assume most MMOs have similar MMS pricing).

Extremely doubtful it has anything to do with their plan. iMessage is over the top: only the first SMS activation message has anything to do with your carrier -- after that it's all sent through Apple's servers.

> I'm not here to trivialize SF driving, I'm here to say that it's a small corner of a big weird world that Tesla has done a much more thorough job of exploring.

Then explain to me why it can’t stop for stop signs in SF or can’t drive in a straight line without swerving onto oncoming traffic. Surely, they have a lot of data from the city with their large fleet? Either the data is helping or it’s not.

> That's nice, but FSD already drives almost everywhere in the USA. It can usually even figure out poorly mapped rural roads in flyover country. What's Waymo's timetable for those?

Yes, with a driver. And still with poor intervention rates after years of development. What’s Tesla’s timetable for getting their reliability up and removing the driver? That’s really the ballgame in self driving.

> FSD has gone from private to "mostly works everywhere in the USA" in the last 3 years. It has taken Waymo 10 years to start escaping the hubs one city and route at a time.

“Works everywhere” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here when you rely on a driver to prevent crashes. Literally does not pass the true test of self driving.

It took Waymo 10 years to completely remove the driver. Now they’re announcing new cities and capabilities constantly, with freeways coming soon. Let’s see how many “rewrites” it takes for Tesla to tell drivers not to pay attention, let alone completely removing them. I wish them luck (as a Model 3 owner), but they’re working with their hands tied behind their backs on this one.

This is understandable. They need to protect themselves and maybe become profitable.

"To provide a comprehensive and precise list of space probes launched in the past 10 years (from 2013 to 2023), it's essential to highlight that space probes are designed for various missions, including planetary exploration, solar observation, and astrophysical studies. Here's a structured overview of notable space probes launched during this period:

2013

MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution): Launched by NASA, this probe is aimed at studying the Martian atmosphere to understand how it lost its water and atmosphere over time.

2014

Hayabusa2: Launched by JAXA, the Japanese space agency, this asteroid sample-return mission targeted the asteroid Ryugu.

2015

DSCOVR (Deep Space Climate Observatory): A joint mission by NASA, NOAA, and the U.S. Air Force, DSCOVR studies the solar wind and its impact on Earth.

2016

OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security, Regolith Explorer): NASA's mission to asteroid Bennu for a sample return to Earth.

2017

Parker Solar Probe: Launched by NASA to study the outer corona of the Sun.

2018

BepiColombo: A joint mission by the European Space Agency (ESA) and JAXA to Mercury.
InSight (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport): A NASA lander to study Mars' interior.

2019

Chang'e 4: A Chinese lunar exploration mission that achieved the first soft landing on the far side of the Moon.

2020

Mars 2020 (Perseverance Rover): NASA's rover to explore Mars, seeking signs of past life and collecting samples for possible return to Earth.
Tianwen-1: China's mission that includes an orbiter, lander, and rover to Mars.
Hope Probe: The United Arab Emirates' mission to study the Martian atmosphere.

2021

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST): An international collaboration led by NASA, with significant contributions from ESA and the Canadian Space Agency, JWST is designed to observe the earliest galaxies and stars formed after the Big Bang."

For public cloud k8s, no we don't provision or TF anything, we just shove in a manifest and k8s creates the workloads and it provisions persistent volumes and load balancers on your behalf. That's either Helm or Replicated (Kots) on top of Helm. Yes, it's basically self-contained and manages to abstract most of the cloud differences. We do have a custom storage class for each cloud but probably don't need it. The network load balancers need a little cloud specific annotation.

Replicated saved work by handling a configuration gui for the end user, licensing/ entitlements, support bundle collection, private image proxy, things like that we didn't want to deal with.
Playing with Windows 11 on a laptop after being exclusively on KDE+Wayland and using Vivaldi, surprisingly I'm enjoying using Edge. Love the vertical tabs without needing any extensions. No crashes or struggles with accelerated graphics. And the "read aloud" selection and quality of voices is pretty impressive.

The Vivaldi new release has a session manager and workspace rules which might keep my main setup there for now. I think it's the only other game in town with vertical tabs, unless that Arc browser gets windows/linux availability
Doesn't feel like a bug to me. After disabling iCloud Passwords I see a big nag in the Passwords menu asking me to enable it again; I don't remember that there on iOS 16.

And when it was enabled there was a nag for Passkeys or password family sharing or something like that. I guess they want people to use that now.

Also I don't understand how you could screw these things up repeatedly for so many features. iMessage is another one that iOS loves to enable again. I just checked: it's enabled again. Turned it off. And the one with Bluetooth that lapcat mentioned. I don't believe these things to be bugs.

But they really crossed the line for me with Passwords.

> What does that have to do with AI progress? AI, tech, etc. are all increasing continuously, getting better year after year.

Who do you think is building the AI? Even more importantly, if people become overly-reliant on AI (already early hints of this happening), human competency will decline. There's a tipping point on that curve where AI plateaus indefinitely as there's no one competent enough to work on it anymore. The speed we're traveling at on that curve is far faster than progress toward an organic intelligence.

The amount of money you pour into a problem is meaningless. How it's solved (and why) is far more important. Resources !== solutions. If that heuristic were true, the world would be in a far better place.
They could do that. That would eliminate Nvidia's monopoly. AMD has made gestures in that direction with Hip. But they ultimately don't want to do that - Hip support is half-assed and inconsistent. AMD creates and abandons a variety of APIs. So the conclusion is the other chip makers whine about Nvidia's monopoly but don't want to end it - they just want maneuver to get their smaller monopolies of some sort or other.

Eh DB2 is still a pretty good database all things considered. At the end of the day it's pretty much exactly like every other modern SQL database, and it's relatively polished given its been around since the beginning.
