You are close to describing the chevy volt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Volt
Yes. As I cover in the piece, it's Felsenstein he singled out to physically design it. The two men knew each other from Homebrew and Osborne collared him at the West Coast Computer Faire, bringing him onboard for a share of the company and a basic subsistence salary until they could ship.
You’re describing the now cancelled Chevy Volt. The second generation (2016-2019) was advertised to get you 54 miles on a full charge before the generator kicked on.

Dragon 2 has abort to orbit capabilities, too. The abort zones they call out as the rocket's IIP advances up the east coast continue until Ireland, and then after that, it's abort to orbit, where the superdracos will carry the ship to orbit without the second stage.

That's not true. Many (most?) Mars missions with Landers have used parachutes, though they are not sufficient for a true soft landing.

I'm not an expert but I think landing on Mars with no atmosphere would be harder, because you'd need so much more fuel for a controlled descent.
They've been posting the same ad for a year now. I've been through their recruitment too, with a similar "we're looking for better people" bland rejection in the initial stages.

Having worked for AWS, I respect the "high bar" thing. Fine. But lets be real for a second: Aha! isn't Amazon, and the past year was the strongest employers-market in the last what, 20 years? I have a hard time believing their engineering needs are consistently surpassing their candidate pool.

Either they're wasting everybody's time and not hiring anyone, or they have an insane churn, or they're the next Nvidia and have been consistently hiring dozens of people. I'll go with the simplest explanation.

Greytext is already doing a good job here, but it would be nice to see some additional quality indicators specifically for the job board. I've been toying with the idea of a "freshness" indicator for scenarios like this.

> Piracy is work. Hacking consoles is work. Installing and playing cracked games is work (and risk!). I don't want to work, I want to fucking play Donkey Kong

It takes work on the side of companies like Nintendo to make piracy inconvenient. If Nintendo and others didn't spend their resources locking down their consoles and squashing any form of piracy that gets too convenient then the easiest way to play any game would be to pirate it via some community-maintained all-in-one cross-platform game installer and launcher with every game ever dumped available. Then Nintendo would have no hope of competing with convenience. At a minimum they would need some sort of payment and accounting system which would introduce friction compared to a free piracy frontend. So naturally, Nintendo is not interested in engaging in a convenience competition. They want to use the law to maintain total control of how their games can be played, and then use that granted monopoly to make as much money from them as they can. Why sell an older game for a reasonable price if you're the only game in town and can instead use it as leverage to get people to give you money regularly for the privilege of playing it? Even better, bundle the game they want with a bunch that they don't and several that they kinda-sorta want to play at some point maybe? The more you can dilute and confuse the value of a purchase the more you can make off it. Ideally you reach a point where subscribers feel some nebulous obligation to pay you regularly, and the actual service you provide only serves as to assuage cognitive dissonance should a subscriber consider cancelling. "Oh, but I played Earthbound for a few hours last week, and maybe I'll want to get back to that at some point, so I guess I'll keep my subscription"

Questions of "which users can use my product and which can't" certainly encompass political views to be sure, but they also extend further beyond. I don't see why you feel the need to argue from the position of "woke devil's advocate" here.

20 years ago, I was using Visual Source Safe. The amount of time lost to corruptions from internal VSS bugs, deleting files forever, SMB issues (one of them being people editing files off it directly), its abysmal branching and pinning strategies, truly awful performance, etc[0]. was considerable. We tried TFS as soon as that was available, got rid of it in less than a week in favor of SVN. That was a considerable improvement until about 2010 when we got sick of constant merge headaches and poor performance and awkwardness trying to jump between branches. People slam on git a lot, but the number of incidents resulting in lost work or bad merges went from fairly routine to maybe a scant handful in the past 14 years, most of which could have been avoided by protecting mainline branches and tags from junior devs or just following good source control daily routines.

>You might not be in a position to commit

So? That's what amend and/or squash is for. So that you don't need to be in some "perfect" condition to commit. Or you can do a soft git reset as you say.

But sure, even git stash would make more sense than worktrees for the TFA scenario I quoted.
I agree number of binaries is an arbitrary metric but also an indicator that things work differently with Talos. You have to use the declarative API for management which some people could see as a bad thing.

I’d also like to point out that the system API is designed to be extendable and adaptable to different operating systems. We’d love for more vendors to create adapters/shims to get the benefits of API managed Linux

> I do remember walking on the tarmac yes.

I have walked on the tarmac plenty of times in the last 10 years either at smaller airports or at very large airports. At large airports it's because smaller flights don't get to park right up to the terminal so you have to board a little bus that takes you from the airplane to the terminal and vice-versa.

At smaller airports it's because planes that small (100 or fewer passenger jets) don't really need the big walkways.

I do that every time I fly domestic out of SFO. Super fast airport :)

Your Lexus is presumably an SUV? A bone stock 2024 Prius gets 57 mpg and has almost 200HP. I'm in a 2013 Prius C that gets nearly 50.

My previous car was a 2000 Lexus ES that got 17 mpg. I basically paid for the Prius' loan with gas savings.

I'm also in the market as 10 years is about the max in Wisconsin before everything goes to hell, and I'll probably get another hybrid. My wife had a PHEV for a while but we didn't save any money on fuel as electricity is expensive here.
And for contrast, the M2 Air (1.24kg) was a tiny fraction of the weight of air on one m2 (10332kg) at 1atm. In other words, the relative weight of the latest MacBook Air has increased by a factor of ten thousand! I know Jony Ive was keeping the products lightweight, but I didn’t realize it would get this bad without him…
Mas: Multi-view Ancestral Sampling for 3D motion generation using 2D diffusion
I've been streaming and recording locally with OBS in 2K (1440p) with an M3 Max MacBook Pro and it works like a charm—with a Sony ZV-E10 being capture by Elgato HD60X.

I can even develop and run Apple MLX code while I'm streaming. (I lose a few frames when generating images with Stable Diffusion or load big LLMs like Gemma 7B.)

My MacBook Pro M1 wasn't there for streaming and recording at the same time. But even an M1 Max could do the job as well.
Another thing I do that works well, is to decide to do something slowly rather than nothing. I'm always surprised how much gets done when intentionally moving slowly as I seem to spend less time changing my mind as that already happened before I got to it.

As a Growth Marketing leader I’ve spent 7 years leveraging technology and data to help SaaS startups scale and successfully raising over $170M with Softbank, General Atlantic, Google Launchpad, World Bank IFC and other VCs. I’ve spent the past year as a Product Manager at a B2B SaaS Martech startup backed by Craft Ventures, GTM fund, and others.

The show which you could feel the music the most (at least that I have been to) is GWAR.

You'd think they wouldn't have great audio guys working on their shows, but you'd be wrong. The drums, the guitars, the bass, it all rumbles through you in the best way.

If you're deaf, go check out a GWAR show! Bring a rain poncho, if you're not familiar with the band.
Very slick, straightforward demo. Question on my mind: The AI A/B testing space seems to be getting crowded. In what way do you see Just Words standing out?
Aside: Magenta the color is interesting - the color code is #ff00ff. When I used to use the BBC Micro you had 8 colors by combination of red, blue, green on and off. Magenta is red and blue on, green off. So the color is a result of lack of memory for more colors. Probably the same reason for planes.
Agreed, the original commenter was highlighting how difficult those decisions can be psychologically. I mean, you try to convince your spouse to sell the house and move into a cottage and see how it goes.
"Why is there a sudden epidemic of spacecraft rolling on the moon like Olympic gymnasts performing floor routines?"

That's not how statistics work. We don't have a "sudden epidemic", we just happened to get unlucky a few times in a short period.

The exact same underlying risks and chances of success could have led to a long period of everything working fine, or (the least likely outcome) a perfectly spaced series of accidents occurring at whatever the mean rate is.

Not understanding this is part of how we let people get away with lax safety standards. Nothing gets mass attention until enough people get unlucky in a short period, despite the safety standards being lax the whole time. (I think many people reading this could name a company this has happened to recently -- but will attention stay on them for long when random chance gives us a period of no problems?)

You can make a temporary branch if you want an identical copy of a revision. For example, `git checkout feature-x` (on worktree 1), then `git checkout -b feature-x-temp feature-x` (on worktree 2).

I've never had any issues with worktrees after heavy and extensive worktree usage since 2017. I use it regularly on big projects. The only time I had an issue with git was actually on a small non-worktree repo after 10 years of using git. The .git/ metadata got corrupted somehow, never understood why or how.

When you have a worktree based workflow, you're getting the benefit of a single .git/ database managing them. Whereas if you have multiple standalone clones, you have to manually keep them up to date. With worktrees doing a `git fetch` will ensure all worktrees are able to do git operations on the most update to date git data. Whereas separate clones means you need to do N git fetches.

Saving a few megabytes literally doesn't matter. Your project dependencies will likely use up tens if not hundreds of megabytes when you install them (pip packages, node modules, etc). Disk space is never really an issue anymore is it? Disks are hundreds of GBs now even on low end machines. I probably have multiple GBs of redundant disk usage because of my worktrees, but the convenience is well worth it IMO.
No noise, no dust inside, lighter.
I think the economics of a one-off lunar lander are a bit different to those of Jeep! The cost of the lander hardware is only a small part of overall cost of the mission, and adding some (or even a lot) of redundancy would seem a small price to pay if that provides a high likelihood of mission success. Of course this needs to be compared to cost and reliability of alternate solutions. This is a lot different to adding a lot of redundancy and cost and compromised design to a mass-produced vehicle where you can iterate and test in deployed environment as many times as you like.

Obviously N-way redundancy isn't optimal, but it would seem potentially simple if you had a modular design with multiple instances of the same "omniface" component. Perhaps use 1/2 of each redundant face for radiator and 1/2 for solar panel?

I'm not suggesting a rolling design - just one with legs on every side such that if it did tip over (or worst case tumble if landing on an incline) from preferred engine-down orientation then it would not make any difference.

Seeing as Intuitive Machines wanted to avoid deployable (spreadable) legs as a way to achieve a more stable low center of gravity, another alternative would seem to be to shrink the design (lose the height) to better work within the width of the faring, although I don't know how viable that would be given amount of propellant needed for the landing.
If you have legs that unfurl, now you have minimum three more more systems that fail and cause the same problem
No, time travel debugging is almost certainly a root, but comes from a different lineage.

https://jakob.engbloms.se/archives/1564

The Green Hills Software Time Machine product for time travel debugging was commercially available by September 2003 [1] which is at least contemporaneous with that paper by Bill Lewis (i.e. terminology could not have been derived from it).

Given the alternative terminology frequently used for the technology up to and after that point such as bidirectional, reverse, reversible, omniscient, replay, record-replay, etc. time-travel debugging as a term almost certainly originates/was popularized by Time Machine as the first successful time travel product (yes, I see the Lauterbach CTS is listed as existing first, but it was not commercially distinguished and successful and obviously has no terminology lineage).

"Politics-free" is always just implicit endorsement of the status quo. The apolitical is political.
Simply put, if he's not carrying his weight and doesn't seem passionate, kick him off of the project and return to doing whatever duties you assigned to him yourself. He clearly doesn't care much about it, and from experience in a very similar situation, no amount of speeches will impact his motivation in any long-term way. You're simply opening yourself up to more disappointment and frustration, not to mention potential ownership issues by continuing to allow him to come along for the ride. As harsh as it sounds, this is why people don't go into business with friends, unless you are completely fine with that friendship not lasting on the other side.
Ok this is really a fun fact! That had to be intentional right? I wonder if they added something to it just to make this true.

If it wasn't intentional they should incorporate it into their marketing -- "exactly the same weight as air!"
Linux supports overcommitted memory and so will lie to your application about memory availability. When I tested several common open-source applications in a memory-constrained environment none of them, except for the Java VM, handled OOM conditions gracefully. I came to the conclusion it's not worth the programming effort unless your application will specifically expect this condition to occur.
wow, i didn't expect 'the map is not the territory' to be so controversial ;)
It’s probably not part of their repo, but exists alongside, possibly gitignored. Either way in the same workspace the IDE will have to invalidate a lot of it when you switch, and again so when switching back. Separate clones, or worktrees, mean they don’t get invalidated and your IDE just sees them as a separate project altogether, each with its own cache, regardless of where that cache exists.
The hardware is so great but mac os is so far from my liking. It's such a shame that the OS options are so limited on these machines. (I'm aware of asahi)
Props to that guy for actually having a spine. The guy on the stage, the people jeering at him and the guy elbowchecking him sure as hell didn't have one.
I've been "boycotting" them for a while now. Switch was cool, but they just cannot be reasonable when it comes to IP, so I just cannot stomach giving them any money. I'm not interested in applicable laws or "playing by the rules" or whatever other handwavy bullshit people will feed themselves to pretend that Nintendo is "in the right" here.

It's pretty simple: don't target people who aren't doing things that are morally reprehensible, even if it's a systemic threat to your company (cue the laughter from the capitalists who can't understand anything beyond industrial machinations). Evolve and adapt to include them in your assets, or die while the fitter companies do. Someday, someone's going to have more money than Nintendo and they will force Nintendo to do whatever they want them to. I'm just hoping its sooner rather than later. They've earned every second of their demise. Fuck any company that thinks lawfare is excusable as 'might makes right'.
The benchmark would suggest that but if you actually try asking it questions it is much worse than a bright high school student.
Apart from some minor electronics improvements (like easier radios), that all sounds remarkably similar to my experience learning to fly twenty years ago. Still all paper charts, compass, time, VORs. Was definitely rewarding to get the navigational calculations right. Planes were the same too!

Having learned sailing in the GPS-and-chartplotter era, I sort of miss that. Time to get buy the HO tables for the sextant, I suppose…
You can still go and visit the flight deck if the plane is still boarding at the gate, just ask a flight attendant.

Most pilots leave the flight deck door open until the boarding doors close and they're quite happy to receive visitors.
Still no internal fan though?
