My bet on the re-entry failure is that they have really poor attitude control. They definitely had some, but you can also see at different points that the plasma was shifting directions. At T+46, it was doing a spin as the first plasma started to show. At T+47, it was going down on the edge of the heat shields. At T+47:40 it appears to be going down engine first.

Moreover, I'm guessing the reason they skipped the mock re-entry burn was due to not being able to settle the propellant. Though it's really hard to tell if the turning of the Starship was to rotate which side was getting heating from the sun, or if it was spinning out of (or with less than desired) control.

Tim Todd noticed that the gas thrusters were icing over and then releasing the ice. So it's a reasonable guess that this was part of the issue, but that's leaning even more into speculation territory.

The laws of thermodynamics apply in closed systems, and our planet is not a closed system.

Solar power, geothermal power, hydro power, are effectively perpetual motion, for our purposes. Heat pumps kind of violate the "you can't get something for nothing" principle too, since you can get >100% return on the electricity you put into them. The more we look into renewables, the more we can find ways to "cheat" by using "preprocessed" goods where the sun or the earth already did the hard part for us.

There's no thermodynamic reason you couldn't have a small device on your desk that uses ambient heat, moisture, light, etc to store energy that you can use to do work, just engineering and chemical reasons it's hard to do this on a scale that's relevant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crookes_radiometer is over 100 years old and, if kept in sunlight, can provide "perpetual motion" for "free".

For me it was this line:

Note that I qualified it with under 70, good health otherwise, and non-obese or overweight. If you're in that category, you are extremely likely not to have continence problems after a year.
This tracks with my own theory on ADHD. It often times feels like a super power when it isn't ruining your life. If you manage it, it's remarkable. Left to its own devices, it's debilitating. When I was younger I tried to medicate the issue away, and then eventually came to the realization that I was doing more harm than good. So I learned to appreciate myself as just "different" as opposed to "dysfunctional".

Perhaps there's some evolutionary advantage to these 'mental disorders' that'll make sense when they're more fully formed in another few hundred years.
Any diagram by ScotXW on Wikipedia is somewhere between misleading and completely wrong, and they're a constant pain on the Linux graphics community.

If you're curious about the details in this case, ScotXW confuses EGL and OpenGL, the arrows aren't quite right, and the labels aren't quite right either (DRM is labeled "hardware-specific" but KMS isn't? The label for "hardware specific Userspace interface to hardware specific direct rendering manager" is quite weird), and some important boxes are flat out missing. It's nitpicking for sure, but when the diagram goes out of its way to add extremely weird details, it demands nitpicking.

Nobody in the Linux graphics community would draw the diagram like this.
Playing devil's advocate here... university systems feel like a great place to poke around recklessly like this. Especially when presented publicly. Any holes in the system that enabled such ease of abuse should be patched up.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but even after reading OP’s post, I’m having trouble understanding the limitations of this.

What would happen if, for example, the system were trained on simple 3D puzzle games, with natural language instructions such as “solve this puzzle” with a hint like “X or Y strategy might work”? I see that menu navigation is part of the training set. Can this thing learn to “read” or does it just learn the results of menu actions? If it can learn to play No Man’s Sky.. can it learn to play Zelda?

My favorite tapeworm-related fact is from Entangled Life [1]:

If you cut off a tapeworm's head, it loses its main ganglia [~brain]; but when the head/ganglia grow back, the tapeworm will still have environmental memories (e.g. how to solve a maze it had mastered, pre-decapitation).

I think you're just getting too close to regular grants for research and development but with more losers. For example, Vinnova is handing out $5m for AI projects this year. Why participate in a contest when I can just get $100k from them by writing an application? In total, Vinnova handed out $300m last year with no follow-ups. That's just one organization.

> whether neural nets are purely stochastic parrots.

Well we know how they work, it isnt speculative. All gradient-based algs on empirical outcome spaces are just kernel machines (ie., they weight their training data and take averages across it using a similarity metric).

Insofar as the ooutput seems as-if to reason it is because the input was produced by reasoning (of people). If you input text documents which have not been structured by reasoning agents, then the system doesnt work.

As for the idea of AI building generative 3D models and then projecting 2D -- yes, indeed that's how we did it.. but there are very large infinitities of 3D models all producing the same 2D.

This is where the "start from known outcome spaces" strategy of all existing AI fails. You cannot scan an infinity, or even sample meaningfully from it.

In otherwords the AI has to build such "deep models" circumstantially, it has to have a very limited set of them, and these have to 'somehow' be necessarily close to reality.

How do we do this? No mystery, we are in reality and so we in an ecological interplay with our enviorments. THe environment isnt, in cartesian terms, an evil daemon -- it doesnt lie, and doesnt tell the truth. What it does do is act reliably in reaction to us.

Via these means we explain.
I think this is where things diverge depending on what troubles the ADHD brings you. It's kinda like debugging a program except the program is your brain - and yeah in the UK it's medication only by default, had to sort out the CBT side of things myself when I realised the meds were helping but not quite doing enough alone.

I originally went for help with low confidence which expanded out to digging into and addressing self-esteem, confidence, social anxiety, procrastination, and perfectionism.

If I'd taken one general thing from it though it's "do I have evidence or is this an assumption?" - if I have no evidence (that I'm terrible at my job, I did bad, that guy hates me, etc) then I should reevaluate if it's even accurate before doing anything with the thought

Writing things down when things go wrong was a big part of it too - what's the situation, what led to the situation, is it possible to view the situation in a better light, if not how can I fix the situation, if I can't fix things myself is there anyone that can help me with this situation rather than wallowing in it. That sort of thing.

As I say I imagine it'll differ from person to person so other people may have an entirely different experience with it, I'm not sure. Definitely worked for my systems/coding flavoured brain though, really was like debugging faults in a program. Figure out the underlying issue, try a fix, did it work? y/n? If no, try another fix. If yes, work on the next problem.

Superopenai – local logging and caching for the OpenAI SDK
I disagree. I think about this a bit as having a developer intern, on whom I can't rely to take much of a workload, and definitely nothing on the critical path, but I could say to them "Take a look at these particular well-defined tasks on the backlog and see which ones you could make some progress on" - I feel there's good value in that.

And the nice thing about an AI here is that I think it will actually find a different subset of these tasks to be easy than a human would.

(I'd heard the story in person from Snover years before that, so it definitely wasn't just sour grapes from somebody about to leave the company.)

I can totally believe that MS had a culture where making improvements to cmd.exe was impossible to justify, but that doesn't actually mean that a greenfield project in the same space would be considered promo-worthy either. It seems more likely that everything in that space was viewed as career suicide and you needed to be working on Internet stuff, just like at today's bigco anything except AI will have the same problem.
Right, and the 1950s study was measuring ~132cal/hr above BMR for their 'light' work. So, clearly, if someone burns ~100cal/hr (including BMR) for sitting in an office, then the 'light' work is much, much, much more strenous regardless of what BMR is.

It's the ancient mass-internet-moderation problem. I have yet to see a system that, even with the best of intentions, is able to do both of the following:

1. Be sufficiently hardened and responsive to mass bad-faith attacks, from trolling to toxicity to coups.
2. Be gentle, welcoming, and patient with newcomers, making it easy to join the community and learn the norms.

Most systems fall somewhere imperfect on the spectrum between the two, with rare exceptions going almost entirely to one extreme or the other.
With all due respect, I don't think that was the question! ;)
And this is an academic paper so even though the reported number is given as an "average" it is not necessarily going to be typical for application and it is fair to expect that "average" means "best average".

It's a good exercise to compare these numbers to a CR2032 coin cell - it takes about a 6 μW load to drain one over its shelf life of 10 years, assuming 20% derating for aging.
It does considerably more than (poorly) managing the context window. It also (poorly) enables persistent document storage, knowledge retrieval, function calling and code execution.

I would also add that the proposed solution here to the supposed "rot in Wikipedia" amounts essentially to "What if websites? and ... links?".
"The Czechoslovak capitulation precipitated an outburst of national indignation. In demonstrations and rallies, Czechs and Slovaks called for a strong military government to defend the integrity of the state. A new cabinet, under General Jan Syrový, was installed, and on 23 September 1938, a decree of general mobilization was issued. The Czechoslovak Army was modern, had an excellent system of frontier fortifications and was prepared to fight. The Soviet Union announced its willingness to come to Czechoslovakia's assistance. Beneš, however, refused to go to war without the support of the Western powers."
That depends on what level of the AI/ML stack you want to work at.
Maybe I know that but I'm still too damaged to try? That is the entire point of my post.

Thanks for the "advice" though.
I am not a physicist or cosmologist so i won't pretend to understand all of your answers but this has given me a great starting point to learn more and i greatly appreciate you taking the time to write it. I had a pretty theory that we were seeing galaxies accelerate away from each other due to the rate of expansion being greater outside of gravity wells. I will reread your answer a couple of times until i get off there is any support for it but my initial reading suggests it's up there with light needing a medium to travel.
another shot in the dark but it could be different data types. some numbers can get stored as text when you import them. you can try wrapping your operands in VALUE() or TEXT() formulas accordingly

other than that, I agree with the other poster and the only issue I can think of is due to having a different number of digits after the decimal point causing some rounding error when comparing floats

If you look at "wanted" to be prefixed to everything in the list, it'd expand to: "wanted: dead, and wanted: alive".

While this: "Wanted: dead or alive"

could be interpreted as: "We haven't decided yet what we actually want, if it's dead, or alive, but it's one of those".

Then it can be good to give them (the police) a call and ask if they have decided yet, before you go looking for the wanted person

Yes this would all be true, if it were true. It is likely to become true at IFT-4 but they are very demonstrably not quite where you say they are.

This was still a suborbital flight and they cannot do much of anything that is commercially practical on suborbital flights (like launch satellites, even if they raise their apogee). They appear to have not had good control authority in coast and reentry. They did not do a relight/deorbit burn test that is likely an obstacle to tackle before they can make orbital flights. I assume we'll get some confirmation about these things soon enough, but please, you can be optimistic without being hasty.

Yes, but we can't possibly interview 1000+ people, so we have to filter it somewhat based on what they give us: their resume. If you can build me a tool that can find in a stack of 1000 resumes a genius then I'd like to start a company with you and we can make a lot of money together.

Basic requirement is at least 5 years of professional experience. Most of the people who apply don't have that. Then after that, a large number of people who make it to the coding test can't pass the first basic test, or struggle through it: generate a random string using only the standard libraries. If you can't do that then you are not a senior developer. Or they appear to be using ChatGPT and cheat through the test. etc. etc.

And memorizing algorithms wouldn't help you pass our assessment, it's actually easier than that in my opinion.
The Higgs boson (or maybe the Higgs field?) gives mass to everything else. The graviton creates the attractions between masses.

> pretty much every US government based system is inferior to it's private sector equivalent.

I don't think this holds as a rule. I see as many counterexamples to it as examples, anyway. But it does seem true that there are certain things the private sector tends to do better at, and there are other things the private sector tends to do worse at.
I'm sure it can. However in my real world use cases, HTTP/2 and 3 work better when available for me, so I'm glad to have them. I'm sure this comes as no surprise to most people since SPDY went through a lot of testing before becoming HTTP/2, but just because it doesn't win on every point of the graph does not mean it doesn't still win overall.

Besides that, more than half my point is that I like HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 for the featureset, and you can't get that by increasing the max connection limit for HTTP/1.1.
It would be awesome if the Wolfi base image integrated nicely with Clair at some point too! I think someone was working on that last year but seems like it stalled.

I think that's a bit too reductive: asexuality ≠ not having kids. Even people who dislike the dentist won't mind going if it benefits them.

However, there might indeed be an issue in finding a properly fitting other half, but it seems[0] that the trait is not that uncommon either (order of magnitude seems to be about 1%).

Isotopes and elements are human made labels based on nucleon and proton counts. Hydrogen and deuterium are both the same element, but are obviously different nuclear structures. Even at a chemical level deuterium is appreciably different. That difference between isotopes and elements diminishes but never disappears as atomic mass rises.

Isotopes are only imperfect in the context of one labeling system. But not from a quantum viewpoint.
