This is a n00b question, but how do regulations apply to private human crewed missions in the US?

Are there clear guidelines already written? I’m assuming it inherits a lot of rules of general aviation? But since private firms launching into space is new, do the rules and regulations keep up? Or are they still to be written?

I appreciate your honesty here. I would argue, you should appreciate your employee's honesty as well.

If you have a market based salary view of the world, and an employee says they're actually worth more than what your merit/market system is paying them (and has proof), you should probably respect that.

The fact they're coming to you first is a risk in and of itself.

This limits the supply, but we also must remember that the reason there's enough demand to justify the diamond industry to do this kind of shady stuff is due to marketing. I seriously doubt that diamonds, and especially natural diamonds, would be as popular as they are without the marketing, since the lab-grown ones are indistinguishable in all but price, if one wants one.

Famously of course, marketing is responsible for the relative prevalence of diamond wedding and engagement rings. That they'd have to be worth N months' or years' salary? All marketing. And it has clearly worked, given how prevalent it is. And it has worked so well in fact, that this very idea has been embedded into wide parts of Western society.

If code smell is being weaponized to assault a coworkers code, then you are using the phrase incorrectly and have some cultural issues on your development team. The phrase came from Martin Fowler's book "Refactoring" https://martinfowler.com/bliki/CodeSmell.html and is intended to indicate that you might benefit greatly by refactoring that code. What I was saying is that the support organization needs to be worked on if it isn't collecting anomalies and reporting them up the line.

The support staff probably wouldn't get anything done with any given bad modem ticket, but the analyst looking at support data for the week/month might notice that we've had 82 reports of defective modems of a specific model in a short time frame, and this is a new problem... one that we should probably grab a defective modem, get the vendor and take a look to make sure we don't have a big problem (the assumption might be defective hardware, but that's why you gather evidence and investigate further).

It can be. But standard Bluetooth connections for audio can be terrible. Streaming from the internet, that is digital, and there can be delays and gaps in the sound.
There are already high quality implementations of every version of Direct3D released over the past couple decades built on top of Vulkan.

Writing a Vulkan driver is purportedly a much easier task than for higher level graphics APIs like Direct3D/OpenGL.
That’s incorrect. There’s zero US laws that make it illegal to boycott Israel.

Open a carwash in Texas and you can put up big posers saying you’re boycotting Israel and the state isn’t going to do crap. There are state laws that prohibit state agencies from contracting such companies, but that’s a different question and only really applies to a small percentage of companies.

If you disagree try and post full text of the actual legislation it’s completely clear what’s going on.

This is a truth that's fundamental to all types of investing. Advantaged people can set aside millions and not touch it for a year or five or twenty. Disadvantaged people can't invest $20 because there's a good chance they'll need it to buy dinner.

Stocks, bonds, CDs, real estate, it all works like this. You've touched on a fundamental property of wealth.
OP here: I ran 580 model-dataset experiments to show that, even if you try very hard, it is almost impossible to know that a model is degrading just by looking at data drift results.

"In my opinion, data drift detection methods are very useful when we want to understand what went wrong with a model, but they are not the right tools to know how my model's performance is doing.

Essentially, using data drift as a proxy for performance monitoring is not a great idea.

I wanted to prove that by giving data drift methods a second chance and trying to get the most out of them. I built a technique that relies on drift signals to estimate model performance and compared its results against the current SoTA performance estimation methods (PAPE and CBPE) to see which technique performs best."
This is grasping at straws at an insane degree. If you compare the international blowback the US gets to any other country you are going to have a bad time because it has an extremely unique position in the world.

And even if that wasn't the case, if you argue that pointing at how Israel does godawful stuff is antisemitic, all you are achieving is I no longer care about antisemitism because I'd have to be morally repugnant to justify actions on such basis. Because if you argue that antisemitism is needed to criticize the systematic abuse of a population then my logical conclusion is that antisemitism is sometimes the right thing to do.

Invisv shutting down two-hop VPN and PGPP services

An LLM is a stack of transformer layers (N=96 for GPT-2). Each word/token output is the result of exactly N sentence transformations from input to output.

Clearly there are many things (specifically things requiring deliberation and planning) that require an open ended number of thought steps, and therefore could only, even in theory, we done by an LLM in "think step by step" fashion where it breaks the problem down into pieces (maybe recursively) each simple enough to be done in < N of these primitive steps.

In practice it seems that LLM's ability (esp. given their lack of any internal working memory) to maintain long term focus for an extended task is poor, so the theoretical benefit of using their own memory as a scratchpad for planning doesn't seem to be realized.

The notion of scale it up, and/or train it right, and a transformer can implement AGI, seems to be more wishful thinking than based on any analysis of what the architecture is and is not capable of. The lack of support for continuous incremental learning seems to be a deal-breaker for intelligence that people just ignore.

Propaganda has to have intent, by definition.
Metal was released in June 2014[0], and Vulkan development started a month later, in July 2014[1].

You can interpret that in a few different ways: perhaps Khronos saw Metal's release, went "oh shit, we need to do something", and scrambled to start development of a new API over the next month. Or maybe Khronos (and Valve and others) were already talking about something new for some time before that, and only got a fire lit under themselves after Apple's Metal release. Or maybe the two aren't related at all.

Yes, it took a further two years for any kind of reasonable Vulkan support to be out there, but either way, I think it's a bit disingenuous to say Apple was a trailblazer with absolutely no peer here.

Regardless, the gaming situation on macOS is still... not great. Certainly some game developers have adopted Metal, but overall the main target is still DirectX, and I feel like contemporary/modern OpenGL (ES?) still probably leads Metal. Hell, at this point, Vulkan might have seen more general adoption than Metal has.

Just to be clear, I love the movies! I think they're incredibly well done and a great adaptation of Tolkien's work. I find that one bit with Gimli striking the ring to be one of the most irritating part, because it's so obviously inconsistent with the rest of the story -- but it's just one moment that I can easily ignore without it affecting my enjoyment of the movie.
AI fans don't seem to care much for copyright, unless it's their work being stolen (remember the people that got mad at "prompt stealing"?).

the trash created after use of shopping bags is not a big deal either; a typical non-reusable shopping bag weighs 200 milligrams, so if you use three per day for 72 years, you produce a grand total of 16 kilograms of shopping bags. that's less than even your own bones, which will also last thousands of years

Buying from Steam doesn't give them the appstore cut. And nobody buys Macs for gaming, so it doesn't drive hardware sales either.
One thing which surprised me a bit was how fast it left the launch pad. It took just a second or a little bit more.

With Starship it appeared as if it was struggling to lift off, staying for a while burning fuel until it left the launch pad and even then it felt a bit slow at accelerating.

I'll see tomorrow if it was just an illusion.

It wan’t an inaccurate assessment. SpaceX was working on life support for a crewed module 14+ years before their first successful manned launch. IE: It took them longer than Boeing.

However the missing context is SpaceX put in 8+ years into the project before getting the award which offset most of the issues.

So it worked out well for NASA, but SpaceX was approaching it more as a prestige project than a profitable one.

Recently I was in the accounting office of my mom’s large senior-oriented NYC coop. Around a thousand apartments total.

It was out of an old movie. Folders and coffee cups absolutely everywhere. Walls of well-used filing cabinets. The directors office was comical, you had to look over the piles if you were sitting. 15 year old computers were there but second fiddle.

Honestly it was charming and made me nostalgic. It was also a reminder of exactly what you’re saying. Millions worth of NYC rentals run by a paper-driven org. The future is distributed unevenly indeed.

These explicitly permit derivative works and commercial use.

So it’s not being glossed over, and licenses are being abided by in good faith imo.

I wish they’d just added a sentence to their press release specifying this, though, since I agree it looks suspect if all you have to go by is that one line.

I still wonder about stowage plans for these. I guess t's the next level down to solve approximately after the route plan for each container. They come later and have constraints that are more contingent than the global system level view.

Ballpark, optimistically, shore cranes can do 30-50 moves per hour, 2 or 4, maybe 6 cranes per vessel, and you have to unpack shell layer by layer.

* Ultra Large Container Vessel (ULCV): 14,501 TEU and higher

* New Panamax: 10,000-14,500 TEU

* Post-Panamax: 5,101-10,000 TEU

* Panamax: 3,001-5,100 TEU

24,000 TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units), say 12k 40-foot containers

4 cranes * 50 containers/crane-hour * 24 hours/day = 1.2k containers / day

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stowage_plan_for_container_shi...

Stowage plans for ships also have weight, balance, power, and value acceptability criteria beyond availability at a port.

These overheads made me curious enough to write up some napkin math, since they mention cut-and-run early departures from ports.

Your original comment was:

> It is an autoregressive sequence predictor/generator. Explain to me how humans are fundamentally different.

Which would be interpreted by most reasonable people as you making the claim that humans are autoregressive sequence predictors, and asking people to prove you wrong. I can see how you could say this without intending to make that claim, but most people will interpret this as you making that claim.

I do not intend to inflame things or discredit what you are saying, but just to say that if you did not intend to make a claim or ask people to prove you wrong, a different approach would be more successful in the future.

It would be really awesome if the native component model were built around standard web components instead of Angular. This would let people bring their own components regardless of what framework they were built in. And for the built-in native components, it means you wouldn't have to worry about integrating with the Angular compiler.

This has to do with the launch vehicle's thrust to weight ratio (TWR) on the ground with a full tank. It's usually between 1.1 and 1.4. The Russian Proton has a famously high ground TWR and is known for "leaping" off the pad. Maybe Starliner is the same in this initial crewed LEO config.

Wow. Truly that's bizarre.

Clearly the App Store was never meant for distribution of 75 GB games, it's clearly meant for mostly <~1 GB packages.

I'm surprised they even allow huge apps like that in the first place, and don't have e.g. a 5 GB hard limit for usability reasons. They should have a limit if they're not going to support patch upgrades.

Who the heck has 231 GB free on their Mac internal SSD? Almost nobody. Why would the developer even distribute this via the App Store at all, for such a miniscule user base?
And yet most popular games on phones (both ios and android) are complete shit full of predatory practices with appalling gameplay and simple graphics, which barely benefit from those fancy graphics API anyway and could be reworked within weeks to use any other API.

I do know apple is trying to push for AAA games on iphone but so far its a small drip on a giant cesspool.

If you want actual good games, be it indies, AA or AAA, you go for one of the three consoles, windows or steam deck/linux.
