What always bugged me about Thunderbolt was the lack of maisntream adoption of external Thunderbolt GPU docks that aren't ludicrously expensive and don't significantly nerf your gaming performance. Everythiong with 'Thunderbolt' sticker on it cost an arm and a leg comapred to USB and if you put a high-end GPU in a Thundebolt dock you lost about 20% performance which was money down the drain.

It was always my dream that one day we can have thin and light notebooks with iGPU for on the go, connected via a single cable to an external GPU dock sitting at home just for heavy gaming/ML/GGPU instead of having a notebook and a gaming tower PC, but it never became really mainstream, too many issues and compromises along with the prohibitive price meaning it was more cost effective to have a dedicated gaming tower PC and a separate thin notebook.

Curious if Thunderbolt 5 finally enables my dream to come true. I just don't want to have a tower PC taking up space and having to maintain two separate machines and switch between them whenever I want a quick game between work/consuming content. My current interim compromise is a laptop with a Ryzen APU, portable enough but still can play some light games without the pricetag of an extra Nvidia GPU and the hassle of Nvidia drivers and having to switch GPUs and display outputs.

Still, chapeau to Intel for moving this tech along. Let's see what the industry and the market does with it. Genuinely excited for this way more than new CPUs.
There's an abundance of freshwater in the east coast, northwest and midwest. Why not shift some of the exess water from the great lakes, east coast and northwest to southwest? Can't we pipeline the water to giant reservoirs in the sw or even carve extend tributaries from the missouri river or create canals down to the sw? It's not exactly rocket science.
> The problem is that the FAA doesn't have the expertise.

Do you know a basis for that? My understanding, though limited, is that they have incredible expertise - and we can see their outstanding results. Also, IME, this claim is used by many industries to assert that they shouldn't be subject to regulation, and (IME) it's always false.

There have been several small engines that use acrylic housing as combustion chamber and fuel, combined with liquid or gaseous oxygen to form a hybrid rocket engine. None of this sounds new, but I haven't looked deeply into what they're doing here.

I block it too. However, it is only what it says on the tin: a tag manager. IOW it's a convenient place to hold all those useful snippets[1] of javaScript in one place. Most companies want that place to be google because it's seen as bulletproof.

[1] And yeah most of those useful snippets are for tracking, but actually several privacy solutions like cookie management platforms can be held inside a tag manager as well. To me it's still worth it because if I block those CMPs along with GTM it means no banner and no agreeing to any tracking.
Musk's bet, that every executive watched like a hawk, was to fire a whole bunch of "spoiled expensive developers" who would flap their wings about the sky falling (their perspective).

If Musk simply wanted to cut costs and get Twitter to the core of its profitability because the company had pretty much peaked, then it was a valid business plan in the Gordon Gecko realm.

But Elon talked out of all parts of his mouth nonstop, said he wanted vision and features but fired and hired for maintenance. It's weird that all the other companies too that as direction for their layoffs.

Executives were appalled at their lack of power in COVID too. I think the layoffs are an attempt to gain authority, I don't even think it is about the dollars and cents. Elites don't actually care about how rich they are after a certain point, what they care about is the gap between them and the "plebes", and the developer plebes were far too uppity in their view.
I think one problem with Google Fi is that they did some cool stuff but it should have been rolled out to other providers.

The Messaging sync is something that everyone should have. It should have be improved at least to the level of previous systems. It should be possible to sync messages to other Android phones, and have native iOS apps instead of web browser app.

Multiple phone numbers can be done with Google Voice but that should be integrated with Google Fi.

I suspect that Starlink partnership with T-Mobile could hurt Google Fi if T-Mobile doesn't license to MVNOs.
An industry regulating itself is different from an organisation regulating itself.

Self regulation of the industry is common as you say. It tends to involve one central body enforcing the standards on the members, and acting as a central point for agreement of the standards.

This is not the case with the Aviation regulation. The FAA is the regulator, and has delegated the testing to the people it is meant to be regulating.
I imagine Airbus does have a chance, although like I said in a sibling comment, I think they'll need a new plane to do it. The A320 might be newer than the 737, but it's not really that new. I don't see a company like Southwest planning a generational shift to an airframe that itself is nearly a generation old. Whichever company comes out with the next generation single aisle might end up with the business though.

The point is simple.

The delta-V per rocket stage is governed by the Tsiolkovsky equation:

dv = Isp * g0 * ln(m_start/m_end)

So, if m_end goes to zero, you get a significant dv gain.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the "efficiency" of returning a stage or not.

Kinda, but also no.

Simulation hypothesis has at least one problem in common with Boltzmann brains, as the evidence that leads to that conclusion also says you can't trust your reasoning process including that you have reached this conclusion.

The reason why you can't trust your reasoning process is different in each case, for Boltzmann brains it's that your entire history is as much a dice roll as anything else and therefore most likely just random noise.

With the simulation hypothesis, the you can't trust your reasoning process is that for any finite simulator, it's always going to be easier to simulate something simpler than reality, which again means it's always going to be wrong about something in that reality. If you posit we are more likely to be simulated beings than physical, it's much more likely that we're a lazy simulation than a high quality one, and a lazy simulation… well, something something stochastic parrot. (We don't know what qualia even is yet, and I've only heard one reasonable seeming idea for even testing it, so for all we know stochastic parrots are as capable of qualia as we are).
Clerky's 83(b) does not have this problem.
That is true. But in the early 60s, before the rise of the Religious Right, no such association existed. For example https://www.pbs.org/thisfarbyfaith/journey_4/p_2.html shows the strong Christian support for the Civil Rights Movement.

Also it wouldn't have mattered back then. In the early 60s, drugs were associated with neither conservativism or liberalism.

Anecdote time. My ex's grandfather was a very conservative, very Christian lawyer. He happened to also be a lawyer for some people who were involved with LSD in the early days, and hence actually tried LSD in the time frame of the research article in question. He used to laugh about how he was someone that nobody would think had taken LSD.

It was a different time.

I'm very far from a lawyer, but I've always been a bit confused how hospital bills are enforceable contracts given my rudimentary understanding of contract law. Turns out there are papers by smarter people with similar ideas:

> Thus, notwithstanding the type of contract created in a particular case, this article concludes that the proper application of contract law principles dictates that patients are usually required to pay no more than the reasonable market-based value of the health care they receive. The determination of reasonable value is based on the market value—the average actual reimbursement the hospital receives for the care in question—and not on the hospitals unilaterally-set list price or billed charge.

From the abstract in: https://ideas.dickinsonlaw.psu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?artic...

Has this been tested in court? I guess the main issue is that the people who receive the big bills are most likely to have the hardest time finding representation since poorer people are more likely to not have insurance. Really it should be illegal for hospitals to send any bill with crazy inflated prices that are negotiated down by all insurance policies.
> But why are people surprised then that in most software the process is not as thorough as in aerospace or elsewhere with physical things.

Because the traditional engineers do this in a lot of stuff and not just high risk domains. You can probably find somewhere an FEA analysis on your TV's legs and where the high stress points are and where it'll break.

Ehhhhh really? Or if everyone does a shit job do we just take it? Most people aren't tech literate. Hell, most apps aren't built by tech literate people. I have a laundry app I have to use and the rooms aren't in any logical order, just randomly placed. Are you tech literate if you don't know a sort function exists? Or if you don't know people like to read things in a sorted order? If you can't google the answer? There's lots of systems that have really shit designs in them and as discussed elsewhere in the thread I don't think companies are having big financial consequences for their lightbulbs not working when the wifi goes down because the people purchasing them aren't aware that such a insane thing would happen. If you're not very tech literate you wouldn't even think that's a possible outcome. So don't just rely on markets because econ 101 isn't enough.

Thanks - I should have worded that better. I'd like an AGI that helped to augment my abilities, not control me. But its still an AGI replacing a trade person, having a master plumber standing over my shoulder was more of what I was thinking of. The AGI having the knowledge is a form of control I guess but it seems acceptable to me.

I hadn't seen manna before, thanks for sharing. There are some good thoughts there. The bit about girls liking Manna because it doesn't hit on them was excellent. The dad character had some good points too.

The examples do seem a bit over the top (likely to drive home the premise). But honestly the verbosity seemed excellent for a new hire scenario. As long as it dynamically scaled down the verbosity of the instructions to match what was needed by each individual user would it really be awful if the managers got replaced?

It is a fine line, the tech being used to add to our knowledge vs making us dumb robots. If it could be kept to teaching, certain types of management, and gamified checklists it wouldn't be the downfall of the human race. However I could easily see it getting to the point where customers are talking to the AGI mounted on your head instead of you and that is scary.
When my computer glitches, e.g. if a key stops working on my keyboard or the mouse doesn't respond as expected, I sometimes experience a physical sense of of discomfort or disorientation that's not unlike dizzyness or the feeling of missing a step on stairs.

Tags, then?
At least in the USA, the copying of a program you legally received into working memory doesn't require a license of any kind, it is a type of fair use. I believe the EU has an explicit exception to copyright for the same reason. So I don't think any problem would arise when running the programs.

The only pertinent question is whether a program B designed to require library A is a derived work of library A or not - and this is a question for the copyright courts, the license of library A has nothing to say about this.

Now, I think even if it were established that program B is not a derived work of library A, it could be possible for library A to have a license that says "you're not allowed to distribute this library to others unless both you and they agree to never link program B or works derived from it with library A". The GPL could be modified to say something like this, and it may still match its original goals - though it may be more difficult to litigate this type of license term (in many countries, license or contract terms can be declared too onerous and be ignored).
It also ignores the question of how the person even got their prior in the first place. Presumably they heard a convincing argument at one point and accepted that - but then later changed their standards to not accept convincing arguments. In fact, how do they even know "if I know that a false argument sounds just as convincing as a true argument, argument convincingness provides no evidence either way"? Presumably they were convinced of it at some point.

I'm a big fan of Staniforth's translation. It reads remarkably close to a literal translation. I've done line-by-line, side-by-side comparisons with the Greek & Greek-English dictionary lookup, a painfully-literal English translation, and several major English translations, to see which one belonged on my shelves. It is also a breezy, modern-feeling read—for this sort of work, at any rate. It's new enough that it lacks most of the outdated-feeling English of earlier translations, which earlier translations typically deviate more than Staniforth from the original text, anyway, so it's not like they were in some way better.

Most of the "easier" or "updated" modern translations inject a ton of their own style, erasing that of the original text. One that really irks me is a translation that "fixes" the style of the opening "from so-and-so, I learned such-and-such" sentences by making them clipped little fragments, with the claim that it's more in keeping with the stylistic "quick, dashed-off notes" intent of the original—but it isn't! That is not how it's written! Some translators made those more flowery than necessary, but they definitely aren't written like that! Staniforth's reads damn near identically the original Greek, but without being at all hard to read. It's the closest I could find to ideal fidelity that also isn't clunky—it mutates the language just enough that it's entirely acceptable and easy-reading English.
