It isn't clear how much immediate day-to-day difference this would make to SpaceX. Company leadership moved to Texas some time ago. Production of Starlink user terminals was already moving to Austin/Bastrop (with component production possibly migrating to other countries) and Hawthorne Raptor production was likely being migrated back to Boca. Hawthorne mostly hosted development support for legacy products like Falcon and Dragon with the expectation that these offices would close when these products are no longer being offered. Starship software development will probably eventually be migrated to Boca and other projects will likely follow.

It probably makes sense for the business to move to a venue with a more favorable regulatory environment. The company has been party to multiple lawsuits related to sexual harassment, assault and workplace injury/death and the ability to try cases in a more friendly environment will make it easier to encourage employees to optimize productivity.
"Efficient" in a corporate context simply means "efficient at making money for shareholders."

It does not automatically mean "better able to serve customers."

And often it means the opposite.
Fantastic game. Only thing free my friend and I could play so we'd play nonstop for a summer or two. Learning basic business sense running a shop outside the safe towns was one of those cool things MMOs can really offer. Support harp class was OP as all hell.
it seems to me that, if we could clearly define and document a useful subset of browser features, and start targeting that, it would help tremendously with long term viability and sustainability of hobbyist browser implementations. maybe starting with what dillo supports today?
I feel like Xi Jinping (the leader of the only other country currently capable of joining that race) would just lean back and say, "Sure, I'll hold your beers...", and maybe get out his phone to record the hilarity of the attempt.
As an aside, I have seen some folks get incredible boot times simply by eliminating all devices wait times or loading things concurrently. Looking at game consoles is a good example of cold booting speeds but even they are much slower than even a decade or two back.
Indeed, but it’s an example of what will gradually happen everywhere as more of the vehicle fleet is electrified.

Gas stations will have to adapt by installing chargers, as eventually there just won’t be enough combustion vehicles around to keep them in business.
Strange, I thought for sure some Amazon warehouses would be using prison labour (in the US).
> You expect the cost of a self replicating object to remain out of reach of the average person?

Yes. What's the cost of relocating software, or a movie, or an audio file? Very close to 0 (a few cents at most), and yet observe how much our current system prices each of those items. Capitalism, as practiced today, maximizes profits, not competition, I don't see that changing any time soon
That X-Files episode may have been inspired by "Time Shards" [1] by Gregory Benford, a short story first published in 1979.

TLDR: Too late to be included in the bi-millenium vault, a Smithsonian researcher discovers an audio recording accidentally inscribed on a c. 1280 pot by a pointy tool cutting a decorative spiral. After listening to the banal conversation recorded on the pot, the researcher wonders about the contents of the vault to be opened in a thousand years: “What makes you think we’ve done any better?”

> To me, even 100 bucks as a one-time-payment for productivity software (that is: something that literally helps you make more money) is kind of a no-brainer

It's only a no-brainer if you've had the credit card at the ready because whichever problem you have is costing you enough in time and you have confidence that this purchase will be the one to finally make you more money. A new $5500 MacBook would improve my workflow a bit, but by what point would I break even on the purchase? A new iPad Pro might hypothetically let me draw a chart or two sometime in the next 10 years, but its value is where its value is for different people.

But I also don't pre-order games and don't typically buy games over around $50, even then it's rare, but I know lots of people with thousands in pointless game buys.
Is RN still good for cross platform nowadays? Not sure if Flutter is next choice.

Well this is an indication of the fundamental issue with tools of this sort that attempt to automate data collection .. if it's not 99% automatic and 99% correct then you're not actually saving me any time vs. manual time tracking. You're actually making things harder by adding another layer to the software stack that must be reviewed for correctness and painstakingly fixed because it doesn't get things right.

Until tools know what I'm doing and what I'm thinking I prefer a one-touch manual approach that I know is right because I entered it. This allows me to adjust for that other project's phonecall while I may have been moving my mouse in a spreadsheet. Or the time watering the plants while I was solving an architectural problem. Or the fact I didn't record 5 minutes yesterday so am rounding up 5 minutes today. Etc..
Right. A law designed to protect children. That is the last straw.

Parents that take this view are the ones the law was written about.

Imagine being an involved, caring and loving parent that wouldn't have any insight in something so fundamental to a person's being. You can't. They would not hide it from you without fear.

Also. Jason Calacanis? Really?
Software does not exist in a vacuum. You are probably right in thinking that story points should not matter to you, as a developer; but they do matter to external stakeholders.

Forecasting and management of expectations is necessary because software often has external real-world dependencies: available funding for a first release, marketing materials, hardware that can't be released without software, trade shows, developer conferences, yearly retail release parties, OEM partners, cyclic stable releases for enterprise customers who won't push software into production without extensive pre-testing, graphics adapters that can't be released without drivers, rockets that won't launch, cars that won't drive, etc.

All of these things require some degree of forecasting and appropriately-evolving management of expectations. Here's where we stand. Here's what we can commit to. Here's what we might deliver, but are willing to defer to a future release. Here are the (low value) items were under consideration that we will definitely defer to a future release, here are the features you will need to drop to get feature b in this release.

The purpose of story points is to help provide forecasting and management of expectations (with appropriately limited commitments) to stakeholders, on the understanding that forecasts are approximate.

Calibrated burndown of story points is pretty much the only basis on which forecasting and management of expectations can be done in an agile process. The key is to make sure that stakeholders understand the difference between forecasting and commitment, and to make sure your development team is appropriately protected by a healthy development process.

Whether the author's claim that you get better forecasts by just counting stories, instead of summing story points... color me skeptical. I do get that it prevents some obvious abuses of process, while enabling other that are just as bad. If somebody is using story points as a developer performance metric (which they shouldn't), there's nothing that prevents them from using completed stories as a developer performance metric (which they shouldn't). The corresponding abuse of process to combat that metric would be to hyper-decompose stories.
I think he knew C&H would slide to obscurity because he knew the entire comics page was on that trajectory.
But now you can have a conversations about what scope to cut, or whether to move delivery date.
> Comments are not predictive of future business success etc

But the comments are somewhat predictive concerning whether the product will be liked or disliked by "hacking-minded" people. This is still very valuable because such people are typically intelligent, outspoken and (if the product seems to be interesting) early adopters of new software offerings.
You're not wrong but it's kind of absurd to expect slam dunk evidence of any kind of causal link in the archaeological record.
Me neither - so I looked it up at https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html
With the equals it means only allow the named protocols.
There's several problems with that. 1. The latency - even if fine for slower games its enough to cause slight vestibular-ocular mismatch and discomfort. 2. Compression and visual quality - not only is the quality worse but its also cost using more GPU resources for the lower quality compared to a DisplayPort signal. 3. the Wifi 6E RF bands and protocols are not suited for lossless, low latency video transmission. Especially as we approach 4K per eye resolutions, the bandwidth is not there and relying on additional encode/decode hardware adds more latency and artifacts. We also need a solution that would allow for multiple users in a single building to use wireless VR, which I don't believe will be possible with the RF bands available.

There was new Wigig standard that may have solved this, but I believe its not being used anywhere.
This is similar to the 4+1 views concept.

I’ve never seen modeling tools widely used. When it’s attempted it’s always a top-down initiative that always addresses management concerns, but always creates more risk for developers without generating value for them, and it never takes off outside of being a box on a process list to check off. Developers promptly stop using these tools as soon as their use is no longer enforced.

The long term destiny of models is that they will always diverge from the code, sometimes in ways that matter. In that situation, the best model of the code is the code it’s self because it’s a model that you can rely on. You can certainly update the diagrams, but that’s a priority call vs. what else you’re doing, and it doesn’t always win out over other tasks.

Some enterprising tool developers will make modeling tools that will generate code, therefore linking the diagrams and the model to the development of the code. When this is employed, it’s complex and it’s never a perfect implementation. Generated code can be buggy, or it may not do what you want. It may be a significant effort to make the models generate the code that is needed, and you may find your self further developing the code generation tools to generate the code you want. I’ve never seen this have a good benefit to cost ratio.

Can I ask why it's so complicated? I made something similar about a year ago and it's less that 150 lines of Python. Gives you an explanation, option to run it with/without sudo, pretty colors, etc.

I guess I'm not very familiar with Rust but it just seems like a lot for what it does.
Thank you for your feedback. There was a bug on the site that caused the slowdown. The code is animated to show how it operates in connection with the output, and there was a bug that contributed to the delay. However, I believe I have fixed it.

> All it means is that I won't see the reactions. That's my loss. I'm not forcing anyone else to do anything differently.

(People reacting with :+1:)

Now you have to figure out if you're being ignored or people don't have an answer. You ask them again directly, which they may also simply react to.

By bothering them again, you are asking them to do things differently for you.
I wonder how many of his employees will quit instead of relocate (e.g. if you have a spouse who can't relocate that easily, or plenty of other reasons why relocation is massively inconvenient).. won't this endanger SpaceX' mission? (I don't give a shit about Twitter, that can burn to the ground).

And I'd bet some money that Elon hasn't done an analysis which key people SpaceX will lose by moving HQs.
> Many of the OO architecture ideas that became popular with Java were baked into the OS

I disagree. OS/400 has this weird version of “OO” in which (1) there is no inheritance (although the concept has been partially tacked on in a non-generic way by having a “subtype” attribute on certain object types), (2) the set of classes is closed and only IBM can define new ones.

That’s a long way from what “OO” normally means. Not bad for a system designed in the 1970s (1988’s AS/400 was just a “version 2” of 1978’s System/38, and a lot of this stuff was largely unchanged from its forebear.) But AS/400 fans have this marked tendency to make the system sound more advanced and cutting-edge than it actually was. Don’t get me wrong, the use of capability-based addressing is still something that is at the research-level on mainstream architectures (see CHERI) - but the OO stuff is a lot less impressive than it sounds at first. Like someone in the 70s had a quick look at Smalltalk and came away with a rather incomplete understanding of it.

> and of course it started out with a virtual machine in the late 1970s.

If you consider UCSD Pascal, BCPL Ocode - far from a unique idea in the 1970s. It is just that many of those other ideas ended up being technological dead-ends, hence many people aren’t aware of them. I suppose ultimately AS/400 is slowly turning into a dead-end too, it has just taken a lot longer. I wouldn’t be surprised if in a few more years IBM sells off IBM i, just like they’ve done with VSE

Friendly reminder when talking about housing that:

1) in 2022, there were 16M homes just lying empty. https://www.forbes.com/sites/brendarichardson/2022/03/07/16-...

2) Around 5% of Americans own at least a second home (https://www.statista.com/statistics/228894/people-living-in-...) and given a US population of about 340M and, given the very kind presumption that: people *only* own a second home and every group that owns a second home has 2 people in it, that'd be 340M * 2.5% = 8.5M second homes.

3) "Investor Homes", which according to ( https://todayshomeowner.com/blog/guides/are-big-companies-bu... ) tend to be the small houses that people want to buy account for about 22% of purchases *per year*; and they probably aren't selling them, so year over year that takes quite a few properties off the market.

We have *a lot* of spare homes if we incentivized real humans that will live in those properties themselves buying properties and more importantly disincentivized or even punished people and companies from owning second, third or more houses. Yes, many of those houses might be in undesirable places; but among 16M "just lying empty" and 8.5M "second homes", we could probably take a *huge* bite out of "4.5M" homes.

> I believe this is the test

That test appears to be crappy lead gen for their online clinic. That's my expert opinion.

FWIW, I don't know if anyone in the world is truly neurotypical, but I am not aware of any suffering of a psychological nature, in my own life.

I answered the test questions to the best of my ability, and received a "diagnosis" of an ADHD type (not generally recognized by the medical community), which the clinic's own literature describes as exclusively having symptoms that I explicitly answered Never or Rarely to.

I know they didn't have much to work with, but an honest response would have been more along the lines of "You tabulated 11.3% on our scale of this ADHD type, you're probably not significantly impacted!"

They are cameras installed by a private company - Flock Safety - but paid for by uni/gov. In theory they data warehouse the license plate numbers and "vehicle characteristics" of every vehicle that drives by each camera, but no one really knows the extent of the data they collect, how it is secured and stored, or what is required to access and use the information. As far as I can tell they are a favorite of communities that can afford them (which are already low-crime) and are never placed in low-income higher crime areas where they might actually be useful.

One of the things Karpathy is most famous for, perhaps the thing depending on who you ask are his instructional materials on Deep Learning and Neural Networks, of which at least hundreds of thousands have benefitted.

That's far more tangible than whatever "background" it is you're looking for. He's a good teacher. He stands out for that and that's not an easy thing to do.

Of all the things background doesn't mean much in, being a good educator is at the top of the list. Most Educators including those who've been at it for years are mediocre at best.
The people who educate at the highest level (College/University Professors) are not even remotely hired based on ability to educate so this really isn't a surprise.

Genuinely and I mean no offense, your expectations just feel rather comical. People like Sal Khan and Luis von Ahn would be laughed out of the room looking for your "background".

Sure, Sal is an educator now but he quit being a financial analyst to pursue Khan Academy full time.

The real problem here is that you don't believe what Karpathy has in mind is tractable and not that there's some elusive background he needs to have. His background is as good as any to take this on.
> But here's a question: how many more centuries until we will have to translate?

It’s not clear that we ever will have to. Chaucer wrote a mere 200 years before Shakespeare, and would have been incomprehensible in the latter’s time. The widespread development of printing put a huge brake on the evolution of language. Arguably, the Internet is having an even stronger influence, turning English into a global lingua franca the likes of which the world has not seen since the Roman Empire, or possibly even before that. Also, more and more people are educated throughout the world, and English is taught in a fairly consistent manner everywhere.

Writing, consistent and universal education, and global dominance are all factors that work against the development of a language. Yes, new words and slang terms are being adopted constantly, and perhaps just as many are falling out of use, but overall the meaning of a sentence spoken today would be easy enough for a speaker from the 1800s to understand, and there’s no reason to believe it will be any different for a speaker from the 2300s.
