Nope, they very clearly did not.

Even the graphic you linked to earlier shows this very clearly.

1. At step 4 for Starship, they write "Once S28 has reached orbital velocity..." Not trajectory. Not orbit.

2. At step 8, we have the "relight demo". Note the last sentence, the one in parentheses: "for an actual deorbit burn, the ship would need to yaw 180º first".

So there is no deorbit burn in the flight plan. The relight demo was just supposed to show that they could relight, and thus hopefully could do a deorbit burn. Note also that the ship deorbited despite the fact that there was no relight demo (never mind no deorbit burn).

Can you please explain how exactly you would heat shield a camera?

Like, your suggestion is a box attached to the ship that changes its aerodynamic profile, with an actuator that can be a point of failure/ fly off and hit other critical instruments?

They have lots of cameras. Were we watching the same video? The thing got absolutely melted and you’re complaining that you didn’t get a front row seat?

5 short years ago we would get a few frames from the camera on the barge where Falcon 9 landed and that seemed incredible.

Just because they’ve accomplished something hard (mostly reliable cameras), doesn’t mean it’s suddenly easy and saying “why didn’t you just put more cameras on it?” comes off as mind bendingly pedantic

I wonder if the chipset that Apple uses for Bluetooth/Wi-Fi also now includes Thread support built-in, and Apple didn't explicitly add support for Thread.
Yes, the concept is still powerful and in use today.

As I understand the RLHF method of training LLMs, this involves the creation of an internal "reward model" which is a secondary model that is trained to try to predict the score of an arbitrary generation. This feels very analogous to the "discriminator" half of a GAN, because they both critique the generation created by the other half of the network, and this score is fed back in to train the primary network through positive and negative rewards.

I'm sure it's an oversimplification, but RLHF feels like GANs applied to the newest generation of LLMs -- but I rarely hear people talk about it in these terms.

Aside from tabs/panes/persistence already mentioned, it serves as a portable, programmable layer that will work anywhere, whether on the client or server side.

The post title is very misleading.

This paper is specifically investigating if ice melt in Greenland, on its own, is strong enough to reverse the AOMC. The editor summarizes,

> However, because melting is causing the Greenland Ice Sheet to recede from the coasts of Greenland, where icebergs originate, its iceberg discharge should not persist long enough to cause major disruption of the Atlantic overturning circulation by itself.

This leaves that possibility that Greenland ice melt + other factors are sufficient to cause AOMC reversal.
I think most cyclists who ignore rules do so because they feel unnecessary: the cyclist has an excellent view (compared to a car), and can easily see there's very little danger in turning right past a red light, or crossing a side street with no other traffic.

I agree -- I would love to see diffusion models applied to more types of data.

More data is needed before thinking you can determine the formula.

Previous owner of my property planted this damn plant here in two separate patches.

I'm on year four trying to get rid of it and it's still showing signs of vitality. If I let my guard down, it's gonna be back with a vengeance in a year or two.

I dug out about 600 kg of roots from about 6 square meter area and have culled every shoot every day from the patch almost every day for four years.

The other patch was first treated with herbicide and then covered it with a light blocking tarp made for this purpose. It's still going after 4 years in the dark.

Please do not pick it up or mess with it. It is a terrible plant and destroys everything around it.

You need to balance peak heating and heating duration. Shallower reentry means lower peak heating, but higher heating duration. Steeper entry means higher peak heating, but lower heating duration.

The heat shield material can handle a certain amount of heat and a certain maximum temperature before it starts to ablate away, so you're forced to thread the regime where both variables are within its tolerances.
Telemetry was as intended throughout the flight so it presumably landed where intended. They trigger an abort after splashdown, so the rocket explodes then sinks. And yes the remains, which is mostly just steel, then sinks into the ocean.

It is a very tenacious plant. I had exactly one stalk grow to 3 feet in a mulched area of my yard. I didn't think too much about it because I didn't know what it was and hadn't heard of it. While testing a trial of a plant identification application, I successfully identified it.

As someone loathe to use chemicals, I thought perhaps that the tenacity of the plant was overhyped, so I simply pulled the stalk out of the ground. Over the next several months, I'd notice 3-4 new stalks popping up each week over a roughly 15 foot radius area. That continued through the next spring when I finally decided enough was enough and got the glysophate.

From June through winter (I'm in the northeast US), I'd let a plant grow for a week or two and then spray it with the glysophate and leave the plant in place. I did this for the entirety of the following year as well. Now, in year 3, I finally have no more shoots popping up, and can't begin to imagine what managing a true infestation looks like.
I wish there were a way to verify, when I encounter a camera that is pointed at a public place, that it's not feeding into some kind if nation wide person tracking system maintained by whatever security company, but is instead going to local storage with a retention period of < 1wk.

> ...as if the risk of surveillance was the guys transcribing from reel-to-reel tape recordings

At a minimum, the guy transcribing the tapes is an accomplice to the surveillance effort.

As a society, we desperately need privacy regulations to catch up to the digital age. Legislation will take years (decades?) to catch up, though. In the meantime, as tech industry professionals, we have a responsibility to not be the guy transcribing the tape.

Right now, there's a lot of incentive to be that guy, and good data ethics regulation will remove those incentives from our industry. Until those incentives go away, it's up to us to make good moral choices, even if that means turning down a fat paycheck. How do we, as an industry, self-regulate while legislation catches up?

> But the reason we need markets in the first place is that governments aren't able to discover the right levels of resource allocation on their own.

Markets don't discover "the right" (i.e. social welfare maximizing) resource allocation, they discover, under ideal conditions, a pareto-optimal allocation. This is a very weak condition: "Jeff Bezos owns everything" is pareto-optimal. You need redistribution if you want to turn that into a socially optimal one.

In realistic conditions, they don't even do that: market mechanisms will reliably underinvest in things with positive externalities, and the larger the externality the greater the degree of misallocation. The positive externalities of research are enormous compared to the value captured by the researchers.

Big Tech's AI dealmaking needs 'urgent' scrutiny, says US antitrust enforcer
No, I'm not saying that at all. People have agency and will act according to various factors including what they perceive as their material interest but also cultural factors such as morality and upbringing, etc. I do think that the incentives established by the relations of production on the economic side of things, will tend to dominate over cultural values most (but not all) of the time. Base and superstructure stuff, in other words.

But all I was getting at with my comment is that we can't even be said to be ruled by capitalists, I don't think. Our government acts at the behest of capital not capitalists, and our society is shaped by that as well. All our institutions are bent toward it. It may seem like a trivial distinction but it means that people - even capitalists - who for whatever reason act against the interests of capital accumulation, will find their influence wane and eventually wink out of existence. They'll be pushed out. As such we're ruled by capital i.e. "the humans aren't in charge."

The poorest often don't own a car. Yet another way a car-centric society punishes them, as you often need a car to do normal functions. I don't get why car-proponents often push other groups in front of them to argue their case. Also see it all the time with parking. "You can't remove parking, think of HC parking!", "We will actually double the amount of HC parking and make the area more accessible when we remove other on-street parking", "oh".

But not breaking the law when driving is something people are in full control of themselves. I don't buy the premise that it's a regressive tax. Yes, some laws disproportionately hit certain demographics, but not speeding is not one of those.

Majority are simply to support opening different types of graphics (still and moving) files. Some are necessary just for the build process.

All in, I'd say it has remarkably little in dependencies that aren't directly connected to fulfilling the job it's supposed to do (bash, libtool, m4 - looks like build time does; libomp, highway, imath - useful optimization libraries; glib - living in C land is a PITA; shared-mime-info - useful for file type recognition and handling) and I would be totally unsurprised if some of them weren't transitive deps anyway (esp. libomp and highway).

So I'd say it's very light on dependencies.
I use a personal VS Code extension (https://github.com/robenkleene/vscode-robenkleene/) in order to extend VS Code the same way Emacs or Vim can be extended.

I recently cleaned it up, and now it has three features that are important to my workflow:

1. Copy the current cursor location in grep format (i.e., `<path>:<line-number>:<column-number>`. (I use this as either a bookmark or to open the exact same cursor locatio in another editor.)

2. Zoxide (https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide) integration which I use to switch directories quickly.

3. Similarly, I added to the right-click menu in the file exporer an option to `Open Directory`, i.e., open that folder VS Code. I feels like madness to me that you can’t do this by default. (I know most folks probably juse `code .` in the project root, but if you work in a monorepo for instance there are tons of advantages to sometimes opening subfolders [i.e., as a way to switch projects]).
From the article:

My view has long been that the essential skill of a hedge fund manager is not picking the right stocks, but rather continuing to run a hedge fund: Picking the right stocks is a good way to keep running a hedge fund, but it is not the only one, and locking up capital permanently is in some ways even better. But that is even more true for outside investors: They are looking to own a company for the long term, and they can’t be sure that you will always pick the right stocks. But if they’re sure that your capital can’t leave, that helps.

This predictability — of assets and fees — is not the only thing to Pershing Square’s pitch. There’s also the cost structure.
