Yes, while some components are binned based on mfg quality, most key components of race or supercars are not merely differentially binned from the econocars. This is especially true for critical components like the drivetrain, suspension, chassis, etc.

Race and supercar components will have entirely different design, engineering, materials specification, manufacturing, testinng, assembly, and QA processes. Just a gear in the transmission, a piston, body panel, or even the bolts and fasteners will often be as alien from an econocar part as are jet engine parts (in fact, it is not uncommon for racecars to borrow tech from aviation & space technology).

A specific example that I work on is body panels and suspension components, which are just stamped steel for econo-cars, but for race and supercars are highly designed carbon fiber panels or components. They have literally zero in common except for ending up on the same general area of the car. Even when converting an econo-car to a low-level race spec, the new part will be entirely different. E.g., I've made parts for championship-winning pro rally and pro road racing cars. Every single component is stripped off the original frame, and then new parts are designed and built. E.g., when I build a carbon fiber hood, it will look a lot like the original, but in fact, not a single molecule or process will be the same as the original hood, but they might use an original hinge bracket to mount it to the frame.

large corporations harnessing and deploying massive resources have led to air travel, skyscrapers, cell phones, MRI machines, medicines, the green revolution, etc. all things that require undertaking risk, but of course effectively managing it. Your claim is that skills don't matter to claim leadership positions in such organizations, only self promotion. OK, let's say that's true: the system sure seems to be working. And of course, people who think they have a better way are free to pursue that avenue... maybe some of the most successful companies in the world have pursued just such avenues.
The bands at the top are absolutely not profiting, they’re losing money over it. Instead of a healthy ecosystem of promoters willing to pay them market rates, they’re dealing with a monopsony that depresses earnings. They HAVE to go through TicketMaster venues, because TM has locked up 85% of large ones, which means they have to accept whatever fee the promoter (LiveNation, same company) is willing to pay them. That’s part of why AEG sued them, they are a giant international promoter who is effectively boxed out of the American market by TMs stranglehold on venues and vertical integration.

Venue owners are profiting. LN/TM can pay them a lot for exclusive rights thanks to their monopoly-inflated profits.

This is all beside the point though. California isn't choosing between agriculture and livestock (at least in the policies discussed in TFA), they're placing restrictions on residential use.
Interesting article. Thanks. And yeah I strongly agree that there are a lot of questions about how childbirth outside of Earth will work. Another simple issue is would people born on Mars even be able to ever return to Earth (assuming they're otherwise healthy)? How the body will evolve and adapt when all you've known is 1/3rd g is an interesting and open question that we're only going to be able to completely answer by doing.

I also completely agree with everything re: Earth. But one thing I'd add there is that I think humanity actually starting to settle Mars will dramatically shift the mindset of both people and countries. Imagine China was engaging in mass transit to populate and build up New Beijing. It's not like the US would simply stand by. And today I think many people are not so interested in these ideas, because they think it's simply impossible. I'm thinking more like New World parallels rather than Space Race.

All this hand wringing does is expose the statist who think everyone should defer to the "experts" and not think for themselves.

I can invest around $50K for an MVP

You are almost certainly under-capitalized.

I need a team of freelancers

Five developers at $3000/week/developer is a timeline of 3.5 weeks.

Its not very complicated to pull off tech-wise

Building it yourself is the simplest thing that might work. Nobody knows what you want better than you and nobody cares about the thing you want more than you. As a bonus, building it yourself as a non-technical person is still probably more likely to succeed than paying less than needs to be paid for good developers.

Building it yourself might also be easier than coordinating a teem of developers with other commitments (all moderately good freelancers have other commitments and their regular clients take precedence over one shot clients).

I can start talking to customers

Yes you can and should. You don't need an MVP or a team of subordinates to get to work. If you can sell your idea without a product, you can surely sell it with a product. And by "sell" I mean actually getting money from potential customers without an MVP. Getting money is the only validation of a business idea.

Good luck.

reactiveX will always have a special place in my heart, but at some point I had to accept that the soup of switchMap, combineLatest, distinctUntilChanged wasn't fun for anyone on the team but me.

If we ever get native stream support in JS, I believe it will be closer to hooks than to rxjs.

Signals could actually be a good middle-ground with how they are pull-based, automatically infer dependencies, don't require complicated Syntax like switchMap and combineLatest, and give more control to the consumer (batching, memoization).

What I haven't figure out is...how?

Considering that those sizes don't even include the models, what is actually taking up several gigabytes? How is it so much code? Or is it more than code?

It certainly does, but these "some" really are exceptions. Just try it for yourself, edit PBR and compare the experience to "just" editing the source code of PBR (yes, of course, not being used to something doesn't help). To be honest, I haven't looked at PBR for more than a decade so maybe I would succeed nowadays, but I doubt that.

I think this is good to argue that my assertion is likely too strong. I fear this is close to arguing that early programmers were not familiar with map/flatMap.

> I don't necessarily disagree with your viewpoint, but sometimes the lack of a proper voice makes it impossible to identify that you have a perspective that can be expressed.

Developing a "voice" is done, at least partially, via honing one's craft, as well as engaging with art made by other people and cultures. The former is antithetical to prompting, and the latter is actively being destroyed by AI.

I can't help but feel that this strange insistence by industry that AI be used to all but usurp art ultimately comes from a place of jealousy, and/or due to the fact that some intelligent-to-Americans-sounding British voice saying something like "we're operating at the intersection of art and technology..." at some TedX talk causes VCs to turn out their wallets.
That is a good idea, but I don't think it does enough to serve the purpose - the point of brownouts is to trigger their error/alert system. If the API is just being slower than usual, it won't trigger anything. Even if a human was reviewing it manually (which is quite unlikely), they would only think "oh, their API's really getting slower these days, sad".

There'd be nothing that indicates "The API is going to get shut down in a month and I need to move off of it ASAP!". Random, intermittent API failures would lead you to go check the API status out, and in the process you'd find out "oh, this API is going away".

Edit: On the point of rate limiting, I think the problem with it is that it'll affect everyone using the API all the time, not just during the brownout period. It effectively shuts the API down for everyone still using it (if the rate limit is too low, and if it isn't, then it won't be noticed by low-use consumers).

Landlords assume the financial responsibility of mortgage payments, property taxes, and maintenance. These are non-trivial costs which the tenant is often not able to pay themselves. It's also far more convenient for transient people to rent a home than to buy.

> Did Leicester believe the Atlantis nonsense? Why bring this up?

Cayce's predictions of Atlantis emerging were primary motivations for Leicester to live in that area. He created the micronation New Atlantis. The Smithsonian could have gone deeper with their journalism because there is more to the story than a "conservation project".

> I would imagine, if he lived in Bimini, he would've seen enough beachrock to know better.

Bimini Wall was discovered by Dr. J Manson Valentine, Jacques Mayol, Harold Climo and Robert Angove under 10 feet of water off the coast of Bimini in 1968. Four years after Hemingway founded New Atlantis.

Gracie was hoping the spirit world could help her cure Clarence of physical and financial ailments.

> One of his [Cayce] predictions was that the Lost City of Atlantis would be found in the Caribbean, and he also foresaw that the Bimini islands were mountaintops.

I heard somewhere that he sold futures to the Atlantis land that Cayce predicted would emerge in the Caribbean. But I can't find anything to verify that claim. I misread the article I posted above, thinking it did verify that claim. But it didn't.
