Turns out there's a list on Wikipedia. Looks like they found just about everything that can go wrong. Mostly fuel system issues though.

It's pretty uncommon to be that bad at launch vehicle design. Recently Vulcan and SLS both launched and made orbit with new designs on the first try instead of the 7th, though you could probably just stack $1 bills and get to space just as fast.

Rocket lab got electron to orbit on their second try.

Relativity almost made it and they had a very weird production technique. SpaceX has been having issues but they're building a much more complicated vehicle.

Or the true-but overused observation: We've suffered from AI with amoral alignment issues for a long time, they're those corporations which will own the LLMs.

I think it's quite fair to demand basic security compliance for implementing an E2EE messenger.

That said, I'm sure we'll see open source libraries pop up everywhere to communicate with WhatsApp directly. There already are unofficial WhatsApp clients in various forms, but now they can use the protocol without risking breakage because they reverse engineered the contents of the protocol itself.

I think there will be plenty of space for the Beeper Minis out there right now.
> As much as I am a dude who loves his work, Dragon Ball is male centric

So? Are you implying that this makes it less important?

Barbie is female centric, and there's nothing wrong with that either. Gender doesn't matter in this context.

Gender has blown up as this big divisive, team sports thing recently, and honestly it's starting to become annoying and hurtful. It's okay for something to cater to a predominantly male or female audience. There's nothing wrong with that, and there never has been.

There's nothing here to be offended about.
That's true, but wouldn't that justification work for any pollution here on earth, too?

I guess it comes down to a cost / benefit analysis?
I've looked briefly into this project before. Some ideas are similar to what I'm doing in https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ but the really weird thing is that I have no idea who's behind this language. A person? A company? A small group? Are they anonymous for some reason or am I oblivious?

In any case, if you work on this, please reach out, I'd love to chat.
Try https://aerospace.org/reentries for satellite reentries. They move much more slowly across the sky than meteors.
If he had dementia at the time, then they probably had power of attorney at the time. This places the decision entirely within all 3 of their moral, ethical, and legals rights to make that decision. Not just a legal technicality but really their right, like an internal family discussion that no one else has any right to even opine on.

And then after death, the executor has that same right. Twice over, it's their call, not ours. It's more wrong for us to say they are wrong than it is for them to say their fathers will is wrong.

I would go even further and say you have very few to maybe zero rights after death. We do some things out of respect for each other but really I don't see how it can be claimed as any sort of actual right. Once you're gone, whatever's left behind is for other people to do what they will with. It's not yours any more. If you want something not to exist, destroy it yourself or don't create it yourself in the first place. That is probably the limit of anyone's reasonable right to control something. You can ask, and if someone chooses, maybe they comply, but I think you really should only expect to be able to ask, and live with the eventual no as the answer, or even a yes and then failure to deliver.

(Not speaking as a lawyer. I'm sure there are all kinds of legal things that make wills and contracts into legally more binding documents, but that is artificial legal construct, I'm talking about right & wrong & reason. And besides, if one wants to take the legality seriously, then they obviously had the legal right to do this since they did, and so no problem.)
>As someone with a good amount of professional experience both as a developer and a designer, I'm consistently surprised by how quick so many developers are to assume their personal usage habits, osmosis-gained knowledge from projects, and folk wisdom about design trumps the expertise of seasoned credentialed professionals in the field.

Exactly! Too many people think that their personal preference is the best. Sometimes, the best solution is to have plain HTML where the user chooses their favorite font and size, like in the early Netscape era. However, that's not always the case.
Twitter is a content aggregator. It doesn't publish news. The Twitter post links to the site "unusual whales" which provides an incomplete text of the story which you can find verbatim on numerous news sites, likely aggregated into numerous other news feeds, any of which could serve as a more authoritative source.

There is no unique value-add from Twitter in this case, except to push the visibility of some random crypto news site.
I guess it also depends on how small you break them down.
There are so many form builder tools out there in the market like the one you mentioned which is Typeform, another one is Jotform, and recently there has been another new product called neetoForm, which is also priced better.

I saw you mentioned that pricing would be low and you are focusing on the UX. But neetoForm has even better pricing when I checked yours and their annual plan.
I agree that your 399$ lifetime access is better but isn't it just a limited-time offer?

So just curious to know how do you plan to compete with all these products.
They'd gotten pretty close in their last launch. It may not have looked like it (the first stage exiting stage right was wacky), but from a technical standpoint it actually went off pretty well.

It's the business case that failed. Mass-produced expendable rockets was a brilliant idea prior to SpaceX. It would have worked two decades ago. There's no market for it now.

ETA: Apparently they had more attempts than I remembered. The next one after the sideways launch did in fact reach orbit as their first success. They've only had a 50% success rate after that though, which is really unusual.
The jittering was an anti demo i think
If I were in government, I’d vote this as well. Of course, only after I invest in the company expected to take over TikTok at a discount.
Essentially you hook up all your log sources to a User and Entity Behaviour Analytics (UEBA) platform, it comes up with a model of "normal" behaviour, and flags users for investigation when they start acting outside of those norms (or things you want to explicitly flag on).

No data egress for 6 months, then 20GBs of outbound traffic? Someone's getting notified to take a look and see what that was and where you sent it. You only authenticate against one host on the network, and suddenly you're hitting thousands of hosts? Someone's getting notified to investigate, &c.
That's because the Space Shuttle was designed to be a spy-agency space cargo van (with parts from nearly every congressional district to guarantee it would sail through congressional approval despite being hideously expensive and impractical.)

Make everyone go "ooo, lookie at the science teacher doing experiments to see how [plant/animal] acts in space, everybody!" so they pay no attention to the spy satellite in the cargo bay (or the different spy satellite, or other equipment, being brought back.)
For your generation, perhaps. But there were many other shows before.
> Slingshotting about the moon to gain velocity relative to the Sun doesn’t work.

Why not? And you don't actually want to gain velocity, you'd want to change direction.

I agree that shooting stuff into the sun is not worth it, if you just want to get rid of it.
Hmm, I was in Japan and there were some races (triathlon, 5k, etc.) and someone working at the event was dressed up for the finish line of the kids race as Master Roshi. The event wasn't anime themed or anything, but such major characters are a part of the tapestry and mainstream of Japanese culture.

It feels odd to gatekeep a term that is already quite dismissive, but… is it even really tourism? You don’t stay in the place really, the entire thing is spent on transit. I think carnival ride is the right phrase, and… I dunno, I’m poor, but a $20k carnival ride sounds nuts to me.
> showed my tax dollars flowing through to that child...would be eye opening

I agree. Charity's often use this for marketing. Making clear the direct human impact of your donation. Tech companies like Apple do this a lot too.

But when a government talks of its successes in statistics...I don't think about my tax spend. I think that it was my (and other people's) vote for that team that did that. And typically not even the team...rather the leadership of the political party.

It's like a shift in the marketing approach.

We sent 100bn to this country to help out with this.

Average Joe paid 10$ of his income last year which helped pay for this and that for these people. One of those people today was Sally... One of those people 15 years ago was Tracy...
It's really not common for an organization to make it to orbit on their first try. SpaceX may make it look easy, but it took them 4 tries to finally pull it off on their first rocket.

Astra does seem to have had more than their fair share though.
According to Shonen jumps own statistics, about 40% of their readers are women. They are very well aware of that fact and takes that in to account when they accept new series in to the magazine.

However they're also aware that they have a theme, which explicitly is "friendship, effort and victory" and their reader, guys or girls, old or young, buy their magazines because they want to see stories around that.

I think you're down voted because you have a shallow understanding of the topic, decide to focus on a small part of it and can only see it through your cultural lens (and somehow think mentioning that on a post he died, is appropriate) And people can probably see that even if they don't fully understand how the Manga culture in Japan work.

At least 7-8 years. Probably from whenever it became possible to send media messages.
Let's also add physical markers, like little nobs, on the buttons so we can tell them apart by feel.
It's not about "gain velocity", but "change angle".

A very wide variety of angles are frequently used in slingshot maneuvers, simply by controlling how close you get to the Moon or more often the planet.
Well yes and no. Some companies are actually hiring, but distinguishing them from the companies that aren't hiring (but have 1,000+ software jobs up on LinkedIn) is impossible.
In what way does it break down? Maybe if one is thinking of boxes, going by "a change to the value of a"? The book says:

> When a binding points at a value, that does not mean it is tied to that value forever. The = operator can be used at any time on existing bindings to disconnect them from their current value and have them point to a new one

In this case:

let a = 22;

The binding a points to the value 22.

let b = a;

The binding b points to the same value that a points to, namely 22.

a = 23;

The binding a now points to a different value 23. The binding b is not affected.

I've linked it a few times in this thread, but see the equivalent article for Python, which explains it clearly: https://nedbatchelder.com/text/names1.html

(It cannot break down because it's how the language works.)
You can't overstate Toriyama's cross cultural influence. Manga, anime, video games, pop culture. A legend. Just look at his influence on Central and Southern America alone. He was a genius, and he died too soon. Just like Miura. RIP to a legend.

EDIT: gah, I've been crying on and off about this. It's silly, but there's something about Dragon Ball and Goku especially that always spoke to a deep part of myself. I think it's the combination of positivity, humor, child-like naivety, happiness, strength, and pursuit of growth.

I'm not sure any other work of fiction has every quite captured the amalgamation of those themes in quite the same way.

So many laughs, smiles, tears, and chills over the decades. Thank you Toriyama-san.
On all "Classic" Windows and on NT from NT4 until DWM in Vista, GDI was not client-server instead it would draw directly to VRAM With some kernel assistance on NT (before NT4, GDI calls were handled by separate server process).

This is why misbehaving application could get you the famous "trailing window" effect where moving a window would leave partly painted trace of it behind - you had to wait for some other coffee to properly repaint that other area.

With DWM, your GDI windows are backed by memory that at most will be a texture in DirectX, which will be then composited by DWM (equivalent of X11 extensions to capture window drawing into pixmap instead of lowest common denominator implementation of DIX/DDX that would draw immediately to framebuffer)
The problem though is the vastly different scale. Even small software components have thousands or tens of thousands of lines of code. Millions of lines of code is not uncommon for many commonly used tools.

Imagine a mechanical thing with a million interconnection gears. Would anyone really expect to understand it and be able to replace gears to make it fit their work flow better?

Even for developers of that software, it is often inscrutable, and it is often hard to estimate how a change in one feature might impact other features.

> any actual counterarguments to go with the down votes

The man just died, and your initial reaction is "but his work was male centric". Find a better time.

Appealing to men is okay. Also, there are lots of women that also love and were inspired by Dragon Ball.
SharkGate?

Why coy about naming them?
> Couldn't the extension do that itself? Why does it need to be a browser feature?

The reason for wanting such notifications in the first place is because new owners often do dodgy things, and a company that specialises in buying up popular extensions and cramming them full of spyware typically doesn't want you to know about the change of ownership.

So extension authors can't be relied upon to provide this feature. The ones you particularly want to know about go out of their way to hide their involvement.
This sort of nitpicking really isn't appropriate for this time and place. It comes off as criticism of Dragon Ball for being aimed at boys, though I understand you did not actually intend that.

A mourning thread is not the place to start arguments about technicalities.
JavaScript does not provide a way for the programmer to access memory positions (and e.g. does not guarantee that the the language runtime will maintain unvarying memory positions), so it doesn't make sense to talk about memory positions: there's nothing to be gained at that level of abstraction. (Unless you'd call it a "simplification" to not talk of electrons and transistors too, in which case fine, yes it's a simplification in that sense.)
Nice, I tried to use QLoRA+FSDP in the past with litgpt and obviously at that time it did not work. This is very useful!
Even the free ChatGPT-3.5 beats paid GitHub Copilot in code quality and problem solving.

I used Copilot for a while, and it's no more than very smart autofill and good at generating boilerplate.

ChatGPT actually solves (some, minor) problems. I kept using Copilot because of comfort, and it having the context. But I stopped using it 2-3 months ago, and haven't looked back.
Well, some constructs need animation, but others can work out just fine without animation.
When typing, I want the characters to show right away, and instead of using a switch, I could use a checkmark that I wouldn't mind getting checked too fast assuming that the context isn't full of checkmarks.

I think that we have tools in the UX toolbox that are less reliant on animations than others, but yeah, if you can get animations to be neat, yet fast it's great unless battery life is also a big concern.

TBH, animations only began to be acceptable to me once I got a high refresh rate screen and a fast computer, before that I knew they were speed bumps for my old hardware and maybe hated them a bit more than they deserved.

> I'm sure we'll see open source libraries pop up everywhere to communicate with WhatsApp directly.

How so? Each of them would need approval by Meta + signing an NDA, and I can easily see that ruling out open source libraries.
Yeah but 7th time's a charm?

I think the thing that's striking is most of the failures look like lack of ground testing to me. They had lots of failures that would have presented in ground firing and a couple that would have been obvious with proper electrical integration testing.

There's a lot of process we follow in the industry that looks weird from the outside but is pretty well tuned for risk reduction, you just don't have to go full Boeing where you create tons of bonus process then circumvent it all when it becomes expensive.
Damn it Jim! If you want your manuscripts burned, then burn them!
Even for small use cases with less than a million tokens RAG is often the better approach because of the time and money huge context windows consume: A minute (!!) and a dollar (?) per query in the Gemini demo
Strangely, they don't say anything about a translation into English.
I agree and take it a bit further with buildings and such being designed historical places and all the restrictions that comes with.

Fine, great, they were once something awesome - but do we really need to rob every future generation of that building or use? It must forever be a memory of distant past?
I'm concerned regardless.

If I am paying for a product and a 90% majority of its features I don't care about and only care about 10% of it working really well I'm going to feel like I'm overpaying since I only use and care about 10% of the product, but pay for 100% of it.

And if I were a paying customer I'd keep getting more and more weary if I see the focus of the product keeps being this 90% I don't care about.

Tragically, a large proportion of manga artists die early. The lifestyle of spending 12 hours a day bent over a desk, frantically drawing, stressing about deadlines, all contributes to a variety of causes of early death.

Treasure your mangaka while they're alive, as theirs is an industry fuelled by passion - often far too much. (And greedy/demanding publishers, but we'll leave that discussion for another time.)

You haven't considered the consequences of folding to nuclear blackmail. That increases the chances bad actors will use nuclear blackmail again (because you've shown it works), and it increases nuclear proliferation because small states start feeling unsafe if larger states refuse to help them defend themselves out of fear.
