The idea of choosing wise locals to go judge the candidates and choose on our behalf (since a general election for president is kinda crazy—they were right about that) fell apart pretty much instantly when we started actually holding elections, making the institution all but pointless except for presenting opportunities to attack our democracy with weird procedural shit because it’s more complicated than it needs to be (see, ahem, certain recent events).

We don’t need the College to weight the vote toward states without people in them, if that’s what we want to do. Even if we accept that that’s a good goal, the College is not a good way to do it.

If the Supreme Court continues to get ever more partisan, I wonder if there will ever be a challenge to Marbury v. Madison. Certainly Congress has the power to strip jurisdiction from the court for anything that isn't covered by Article III. They may not have the will, though, given the deep partisan divide and evenly split party representation.

wouldnt competition naturally produce better products if there are 3 providers? from what i remember services from companies, or really any type of services were top notch in korea. due to culture, competition, etc. also noting pricing in general is very high in korea
This is actually how software and systems engineering works in life sciences.

There are a set of artifacts which are designated the validation artifacts which includes a user requirements specification, functional design specification, technical design specification, and configuration specification.

Before any release, the team will start by identifying which of these documents need to be updated and which sections need to be updated. This is codified in a formal, signed document.

Then work starts and an updated version of each of the document is created. Prior to releasing the software, the validation process kicks in and basically verifies the correctness of each of those documents in reverse order: the configuration specification -> installation qualification, the functional design specification -> operational qualification, the user requirements specification -> performance qualification (there is no explicit qualification of the technical design). The qualification phase has a mountain of evidence of testing.

The result of this rigor is: 1) the products tend to have very low defect rates because every change is accounted for, 2) the release cycle can be as long as the build cycle, 3) it's very hard to fix bugs "on the fly" as these then need to be documented as a deviation and accounted for, 4) anything that breaks is easily accounted for, 5) it's very, very hard for startups to succeed in this space because of how much rigor is required.

I initially hated it because I wanted to move fast. But after leading a few release cycles, I could see a lot of the benefits as we rarely "built the wrong thing", we rarely had major defects, and work-life balance was generally pretty good because every release cycle was meticulously scoped since we had to start by describing the planned changes starting from the documentation. There is less scope creep once work on the release starts since the start of the release has already identified what will change and adding scope means adding more paperwork after the fact.

The problem with the principle of least privilege is that you don't know how much privilege you need until you need it. And once you need it, you need to define a scope for it. If you wish to bake an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe. But are you done with the universe once the apple pie is baked, or does it still need to be eaten, digested, and excreted? Are you done then? And what specific portions of the universe did you need in order to accomplish this goal? You're not sure? I'll see you in a few years when you're done with the research.

Sorry to be so cynical, as I do actually believe the principle of least privilege is an appropriate goal; I just think that there's no getting around that the engineers themselves are the ones who really must uphold this virtue, and even then, it can go overboard. At some point, the software should do something.
Indeed. I used to this in Calibre all the way back in 2010.
I think this shows that "organic" isn't safer
Freshwater lake fish have PFAS too. Also wild game may have CWD. Larger saltwater fish have mercury. Farmed animals and fish have toxins, plastics, etc. Safest bet is small wild saltwater fish and humanely raised free-range farm animals.

I don't believe OpenAI supports batch calls for inference... only for embeddings. If you're interested in cost optimization, however, you're likely better off using Claude 3.5 Sonnet (as a stand-in for gpt-4o) or Claude 3 Haiku (as a stand-in for gpt-3.5-turbo).

I don't get how spaceX builds it, but NASA "owns and operates" the vehicle. Surely spaceX rockets are chock full of proprietary internal tooling and services. They are an almost totally vertical company.

Does SpaceX just open their stack to NASA? Or does SpaceX just provide an 'api' layer of control, making this 'own and operate' a weird almost anachronistic distinction?

> From what I gather in the Federalist Society Papers, the original intent was that we would reinvent our country every 25 years or so

I think you are confusing in name the Federalist Papers with the modern and, except in attempt to steal glory, unrelated Federalist Society, and confusing in substance the Federalist Papers with a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to John Adams in which he expressed the conclusion that all laws (incl. Cobstitutions) must, based on then-current actuarial data, sunset in approximately that timeframe to avoid the living being ruled over by the dead.
> He has an estimated net worth of $3M.

Now do his stepchildren, and exactly how much of their net worth came from Bernie's "campaign contributions".

The way the game is often played is to hire other family members as "consultants" at extremely high salaries (Bernie didn't invent this, by any means -- take a look at how many congresscritters have relatives on the campaign payroll) . In theory, you can't spend campaign money on yourself, but paying it to "consultants" is allowed. And if those "consultants" happen to be relatives, and they happen to use some of their "salaries" to buy luxuries for Dear Old Dad, that's perfectly fine.

Another good one is to set your relative, or even yourself, up in some ancillary business (e.g. advertising or printing). The late Oral Roberts (a TV preacher) was the innovator there. He was always crying about how he sent free Bibles and other religious stuff all over the world, and how many millions it cost. This was absolutely true.

What he never mentioned is that his non-profit ministry hired his very-much-for-profit printing company to print all this stuff.

As far as the government goes, there are pretty strict rules against paying actual government money out to relatives (though it does happen). The rules against paying out campaign contributions are a lot more lenient.

There are so many other reliably low-hanging fruit for most runners that jumping to supershoes is unlikely to make nearly as much of a difference.

Like you'll see much larger gains adding 10+ miles per week to your training volume.

The supershoes mainly benefit those who've maxed out their training volume and ability to recover, and are training for professional competition instead of health or recreation.

And strength training is still severely underutilized by most endurance-focused athletes. It also improves running economy while having a host of other benefits.
Comments like this are part of why I'll never run a free service or open source project that people might grow to depend on. I'm not interested in taking on the risk that a mistake I make in my volunteer time causes an internet mob to call for the termination of my employment.

> Google maps lets me search by topic

Like say thai food? Hardware stores? Etc. That works for me. Displays a list with letters on the map, then I can click on the letter or on the list to navigate. It also tells me hours and if they are about to close, just like maps.google.com.

I've gone back and forth between maps.google.com and clicking nav, and voice searching and clicking nav. I see no practical differences. I assume they use the same engine since they give me the same route and ETA. Can you give me a specific search that doesn't work for you?

> another feature I miss from CarPlay is my podcast app. Instead, to listen to my podcasts I have to again use the phone instead of the Tesla console.

Before I start I click on the podcast or playlist on my phone and hit play. Then it's a pretty nice experience. I can pause, next track, play, change volume, see the title, etc through the Tesla UI. If I get a call it auto pauses, if I open the door it decreases the volume, etc. I'm quite fond of it, so say I have a dog park play list. I can listen to it while I put on my shoes, enter the car, audio switches to car, I start driving to dog park, I leave the car, audio switches back to phone, etc. Basically seamless.

How would it be different with carplay?

> others include that my phone streams better and has more services. I could take a video call with CarPlay or stream something from a service not available on Tesla

Er, exactly, my audio comes from my phone. Youtube music auto downloads my playlist, I can download youtube videos, and both seem to have much better audio quality than the built in music streaming from the default breezer (default tesla app). I thought the Tesla sound system was crap, turns out breezer quality is crap. I especially like that I can "stream" music from my playlist, even when I have no signal, great on cross country drives.

> I'd also like to use a functional browser on the large screen while charging. Tesla's browser has crashed on me just trying to read the Tesla manual. It's useles

Ah, never tried the browser.
Those go hand in hand. In theory the successful mass production of their vehicles should drop the cost so that they can turn a profit. The increased number of vehicles and ridership cover the staff to maintain them. As I mentioned elsewhere I would not be surprised if the plush leather seats give way to easily cleaned hard plastic chairs.
Plus the entire station getting past its design lifespan. And while the ISS was able to apply a lot of lessons from Skylab and Mir on things like mold growth, I imagine the ISS has accumulated its share of problems too and provided a lot of lessons for future station designs.

As an asset it's only logical to replace it. It's only contentious because of the sentimental value attached to the station.
It also makes sense for an allocator that can satisfy new allocations with recently freed allocations.

ChatGPT 4o is great to build mini tools for your website
6 months ago, I tried to create tools like a UTM Generator and Gradient Generator using GPT-3 and GPT-4. The results were disappointing; the output was unreliable and functions didn't work properly.

I did not have a high hopes at first but after first try GPT 4o completely surprised me. As a non-technical maker it was super easy to write a prompt an the generated code started working just fine!

Here are some tools that I build with ChatGPT 4o:

Tailwind Font Size Converter
Tailwind Shades Generator
Gradient Color Generator
Grid Generator

My prompt is actually super non technical; here is and example prompt:

Majority means as much as they want it to.

The Cloture Rule is just a rule and such is modifiable with a simple majority (>50%) and has been rather recently so that judicial appointments could be made without needing 2/3 to override a filibuster. If Democrats wanted to actually govern without needing 2/3 of the votes in the senate they could've; however, much like the Republicans they aren't actually a homogenous block so removing the Cloture Rule would just demonstrate they aren't in agreement and look embarrassing (akin to Republicans not being able to agree on a speaker of the house).

“Own” is likely a very simplistic term for the complex agreement in place between SpaceX and NASA. I’m sure SpaceX retains all of the developed IP, but NASA can “do whatever they want” with the actual ship.
That's a fair point; not having first-class functions is a flaw for a high-level programming language, and the command pattern is just making up for a deficiency in the case that it would never need to be anything more than a closure in a language that does have one.

Maybe "operating" only means NASA makes the decisions, but mission control is outsourced to SpaceX? Alternatively it could be part of the contract that SpaceX provides everything needed to operate the mission, as well as training for NASA personnel on how to use their stuff, as well as providing people on standby for "troubleshooting and tech support".

Something I’ve wondered for about 20 years is why I haven’t heard of any FOSS clones of WordStar or the classic WordPerfect interface? I heard that Unix users traditionally preferred typesetting tools like troff and LaTeX instead of WYSIWYG word processors. Also I don’t know how appealing console-based word processors would be to a younger generation who didn’t grow up using MS-DOS. I was born in 1989; I’ve always wanted to use WordPerfect 5.1 but by the time I needed a word processor, GUI versions of Microsoft Word were already the standard and has remained so since.

They've been pretty reliable and cost effective for delivering people/cargo to the ISS so far. Even without Starship they can probably pull this mission off.

FWIW that image also shows Artemis III launching early 2025, but NASA has delayed that to 2026 at the earliest (unlikely), so it's not like SpaceX is holding up the mission.
