There are few reasons:

1 - Engineers and leadership didn't think landing would work that well

2 - The culture at ESA and Arianespace is to NOT have any failures. So they don't have the liberty to launch rockets that spectacularly explode. Even when experimenting, they are extremely risk averse.

3 - The same company builds ICBMs, so demonstrating reliability in civil launchers also asserts reliability for military equipment.

4 -The focus was reducing costs of Ariane5 and make a launcher with similar capability and cost to Russian Soyuz. I don't think SpaceX was the focus for the competition. They also wanted to get rid of the dual launches of Ariane5 and provide a launcher that could just do the large payload of those dual launches independently

Still reading the post, but for anyone who is more interested in Structlog than this particular tutorial, here's their docs: https://www.structlog.org/en/stable/

Looks preeeetty cool. I rolled my own python logging system when I was using Textual and RichText, but the methods all revolved around style and flagging content. It never occurred to me structure logs in a way other than the (obviously, super noisy) call stack...

Given the restrictions on GPUs to China, I'm curious what their training cluster looks like.

(not saying this out of any support or non-support for such a GPU blockade; I'm just genuinely curious)
That’s a bit simplistic. They might also invent a personal computer the income from which very much helps them survive.
The engine failure was minor, true. That's the design point: if engines have a firm ceiling to reliability it's better to design so that one or two can fail than to put all the eggs in a basket. And indeed, the 32/33 engine set was enough to hit the trajectory targets, so that worked great.

But I don't think you can characterize a burned-through flap as minor. Once there's a hole in something like that, the fact that it remains aerodynamically usable is just dumb luck. Clearly the heat shielding failed. If this were a production craft you'd probably have to scrap it even if you recovered it successfully, defeating the whole point to having it be reusable in the first place. The shielding folks have work to do.

But at the same time, the telemetry and control folks are popping champagne. Their stuff worked magically. We literally had live video (albeit through a cracked lens from all the flap debris) all the way through reentry to spashdown, and the landing maneuver looks to have worked perfectly.
Nice - I can see the value in this can you please link the tool?
Well I have a job now that at least seems pretty stable, so hopefully it won't be an issue because I'll be here for a long while anyway, but yeah, being honest kind of seems like a losing game.

It's extremely hard for me to lie (or even do anything even remotely dishonest) during job interviews. I believe that omitting important details is still a lie, plus I think I have a mild form of autism that makes it so I have to be overly precise in my language which means that I get into really specific detail when it's really not called for (as I'm sure anyone who's read my longer HN comments has figured out).

I'd probably be better off if I just shut up more during interviews and let them assume things.
Qwen1.5-0.5B supposedly supported up to 32k context as well, but I can't even get it to summarize a ~2k token input with any level of coherence.

I'm always excited to try a new model, so I'm looking forward to trying Qwen2-0.5B... but I wouldn't get your hopes up this much. These super tiny models seem far more experimental than the larger LLMs.

Phi-3-mini (3.8B) supports a 128k context, and it is actually a reasonably useful model in my tests. Gemma-2B-1.1-it is a 2B model that only supports 8k context, but it also does fairly well for summarization.

Banish the hand-off: Eng/Design co-creating and co-delivery
This is a civic tech post. Makes a case that design/engineering are stereotyped, should be able to come up with a plan together, work on the same thing at the same time because sequencing approaches are for assembly lines, not building digital products.

> The actual outcome

The actual outcome is that the policy does force people to use their houses and increase the available rental houses.

> ordinary middle-class people.

You seem to have meant 'working-class'. Outside the US nobody calls them 'middle class'. Middle class people in Spain would be white collar professionals who own more than one house. You people are literally making up things about a country that you don't know about.

No. It does not cause issues for the 'working class'. Okupas don't target single home owner working class people. They target at least white collar professionals, and actually much richer aristocrats and investment funds.

> subsidising them is the role of the state, not a job for individual citizens.

That's what you think. Your culture thinks. This is a different society. They think differently.
Real quote from my grandmother, years ago: "I'm not scared of flying so much. I just wish the plane didn't have to get so close to the ground before landing!"
Yep, apparently Firefox didn't clear everything that was asked to be cleared, from a quick, distracted read.

The context is not strictly necessary and exposes the private life of the reporter but is interesting to understand the severity or the consequences of a bug. It offers a perspective. (here it's probably too much though, and distracting) I would advise against exposing stuff like this but as a developer I appreciate such context.
Isn't this (minus the AI buzzword) what Netflix does? They're constantly using different stills, (supposedly well-)designed for the given user.

Show HN: An iOS app for adding borders to multiple images
Hey all, just wanted to share a little weekend project. I was kind of fed up with all of the border apps. I needed a way to quickly set consistent borders across multiple images while preserving a 4:5 aspect ratio. I do this because I take photos in 16:9 on my camera, but wanted to preserve that without crop and maximize viewability on Instagram.

There are certainly apps that do this out there but they're packed with features I don't need or want, or they are only for single photos at a time. I'm frequently uploading 3-5 images in the Instagram multi-upload, and wanted to be able to do this quickly.

Anyway, if you're a photographer or like adding borders to your photos, give it a shot and let me know what you think!
You're misremember the actual history of Columbus which makes sense it's been mistaught and mythologized for a very long time. Columbus thought he would reach Asia, both because there were reports from Marco Polo that Asia was much larger than it turned out to be and some mistakes about the size of the Earth. He didn't think he was sailing off into nothingness hoping to find land, he was hoping to find a better trade route to Asia than going around the Horn of Africa or overland.
Well....maybe.

In the US, 17 U.S. Code § 117 (a) gives me the right to make a backup of a computer program. An eBook is...probably not a computer program.

But ALSO, it is legal to make backup copies of non-program media so long as you don't circumvent any non-exempted encryption technologies to do so, and so long as you destroy those copies when you no longer have access to the original, and so long as you use the backup for no purpose other than backup, and so long as you don't access anything besides what's necessary to make a copy. The big problem is the "non-exempted encryption" because nothing's exempt by default, and exemptions given out by the Library of Congress only last for a few years.

Not sure what the rule is in Canada.
How do they recover the booster? After the soft splashdown isn't it going to sink to the bottom of the sea? Or they have nets or something?
Sure, the manufacturers of anything need to test the thing they're manufacturing. But testing something is not the same thing as dogfooding it.
