Scott Manley mentioned an interesting twist on this in a recent YouTube video of his: Kamala Harris, chair of the National Space Council, becoming a candidate in this year's Presidential election. The NSC is supposed to guide policy, so she wouldn't normally be involved in this kind of nitty-gritty, but there are people all up and down the hierarchy who would be well aware that this isn't how the media or her political opponents would think about it in the event of disaster.
Show HN: I created an application to schedule messages on WhatsApp
Hey HN,

I need a feature to schedule messages on WhatsApp in a delivery service I have, so I came up with the idea of transforming this feature into a micro-SAAS. With WhatsApp, you connect your cell phone to the application and import your contacts. You can easily schedule recurring messages for as many contacts as you want. It currently only accepts text messages, but in the near future it will also accept sending files.

I believe this application can help you, and I would appreciate any feedback.

You could check out Vivaldi. The split view is pretty robust. The Vertical tabs can be on left or right, and allow one level of tab grouping.
The capsule will survive, the strawberry jelly on the inside, not so much.
We’ve needed this – easy, direct eye contact – for quite a long time. I keep waiting for someone to develop it. I think that Apple has a relevant patent, but I don’t know how much content is in the patent, and I’ve never heard that Apple has done anything with it.
Just my personal 2c.

I've long been a big fan of Sidebery for vertical tab management, so I was expecting something closer to that than what I got.
The vertical tab view does work, although it seems pretty basic. E.g. there's no way to group any of the tabs or modify the display style. By default the tabs come in quite "chunky" as well.

Also, on another note, the toggles at the top of the sidebar keep restarting for me in nightly. I keep unchecking most of them since I don't need any Chatbot integrations or anything like that, but the selection doesn't stick.
This is a highly inacccurate post.

The companies could themselves propose certification and NASA only said if it is ok, if you didnt test you had do more certification work. NASA didnt require an abort test for either company. SpaceX just decided to have one, Boeing didnt.

The parachute test had nothing to do with abort tests.

“Science progresses one funeral at a time” (paraphrasing Planck’s principle).

I operated under this mental model originally as well. But, based on all available information, while HN allows running ads for YC portfolio companies and uses it for other promo purposes (YC applications), I have come to the conclusion tha pg, dang, et el are running this place as part science project, part public good, funded by YC returns (which, while not exact, can be predicted with high confidence from public information wrt portfolio liquidity events).

Certainly, you need funding, look what happened to Reddit's quest to squeeze community for returns. HN runs lean (two servers in colo, a few mods) and small (less is more), so they can be more flexible in what they're optimizing for. I will argue there is something intangible that exists they are cultivating. More for another thread, but I would be cautious about saying "You cannot speak truth about capitalism failings because YC runs HN and YC is a VC fund." Simplicity is rare, and the evidence does not indicate this forum runs to maximize profit.

Edge even has vertical tabs now. There are always add-ons, but I agree this should he a first class feature in all browsers.

The annoying thing about the vertical tabs in Edge is that Microsoft eliminated the vertical taskbar option in Windows 11. One step forward and two steps back.
Alternatively those drama people would own a part of the company, not sure that would be better.
How do you nest one tab under another? If you can't, I'll keep using the Tree Style Tab extension instead.
This is by no means true across the country but I’m sure it plays well to the “American public transport sucks” sentiment some folks like to cling to.
You can pick either ARM cores or RISC-V cores on the same die? Never saw design like this before. Will this impact price and power consumption?

"The Hazard3 cores are optional: Users can at boot time select a pair of included Arm Cortex-M33 cores to run, or the pair of Hazard3 cores. Both options run at 150 MHz. The more bold could try running one RV and one Arm core together rather than two RV or two Arm.

Hazard3 is an open source design, and all the materials for it are here. It's a lightweight three-stage in-order RV32IMACZb* machine, which means it supports the base 32-bit RISC-V ISA with support for multiplication and division in hardware, atomic instructions, bit manipulation, and more."
Ads can be likeable under the right conditions. Who doesn't want to learn about something that will actually improve their life? Which is also ideal for advertisers. Who wants to pay to advertise to an audience that doesn't want their product?

Google and Facebook, in the early days, thought they could use copious amounts of data to tailor the ads to the user such that they would only be subjected to those which are likeable, but then the audience got skittish about having that much information collected on them. And so we now just get whatever random ad happens to be in the queue – which, indeed, is statistically unlikely to be in line with what you actually need, and therefore unlikable.
Some engineers add value to natural resources, creating a certain kind of wealth that can not be accomplished any other way.

Others manipulate the wealth in financial terms in order to accumulate the funds and transfer to financial centers, diligently preventing widespread prosperity to accrue. This type of financial manipulation can become so sophisticated at extracting wealth, that the very maximum that can be gained from a given finite resource could be realized.

A virtual financial pipeline, not distributing but accumulating. But also not limited by the physical nature of a regular pipeline. With that infrastructure in place, it's a small leap to begin extracting more wealth than has been created, occasionally when the situation presents itself.

The next thing you know, the situations are being manipulated so the pipeline can be operated beyond capacity at all times for an extended period. Actually you're not supposed to know, but it's somewhat difficult to obscure forever, so even more effort is engaged until it becomes impossible to discern where the tipping point is when more wealth is being extracted continuously than is added fundamentally.

This is by design, please pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Most browsers except Chrome have some sort of vertical tabs support.

- Safari (Mac) has a vertical tabs, but a very confusing UI, mixing Profiles, Windows and Tab Groups (only 1 level).

- Edge has Workspaces and Vertical Tabs, along with Groups (only 1 level).

- Chrome does not have vertical tabs and has 1 level groups

- Vivaldi has vertical tabs and groups, not sure how many levels of grouping.

- Firefox has Containers and Vertical Tabs (today), but for best results you still need something like Tab Stash, Sideberry or TST.

- Orion Browser (Mac) has the best UI imho and allows for grouping tabs at as many levels as you want, but you cannot have proper "folders", only nested tabs.

- Arc gets everything right, in my opinion, but I do not specially care much for the candy UI.
AFAIK, Tree Style Tab still exists?

Are there 2 levels of free usage, where the first sandbox doesn't require Google Cloud or AWS accounts, but after the trial, they are required?
Vertical tabs are fine, but this seems like catching up up with the other browsers.

I wished Firefox had natively supported tabs like in "Tree Style Tab" extensions. The extension is great, but out of the box it breaks some assumptions where the tabs appear and how they behave. I alway have to figure out which option to change after I install it. Having something native and polished would be a huge selling point for Firefox.

4 variants? "A" and "B" variants in QFN60 and QFN80, "2350" and "2354" variants with and without 2MB Flash. CPU can be switched between dual RISC-V @ 150MHz or dual Cortex-M33 @ 300MHz by software or in one-time programming memory(=permanently).

What Is Infrastructure from Code?
I use Edge for work and the vertical tabs with grouping works really nicely. On the other hand Arc's website made me throw up in my mouth a little bit. Unfortunately it does indeed seem like that's what Firefox wants to ape.
Their integration looks sloppy compared to Tree Style Tabs but I hope that I can separately disable top side tabs without enabling this because there are already plugins that are superior.
That series of macros is a nice demonstration of the incredible effort it takes to attempt the most basic generic programming in C. Perhaps it would be more productive to just accept the limitations of the language and define a version of `min` and `max` for each type.
It's absolutely crazy to me! I can see my uber driver on my phone stopping to pick up a pretzel from the convenience store, but I can't see where the bus is or get any kind of estimate of when it's going to arrive at the busstop.

On vacation this summer in europe, all tram stops had estimated arrival times. Ridiculous, 5-10 minutes out at worst, they wouldn't even need the electronic signs, just a placard that says "just skim your phone for a bit, it'll come".
And I think it's a good way to communicate how the team works.

If you want new features, you talk to the product owner and they'll add it to the backlog - at a priority they choose.

You don't barge into the team's area demanding "just this one quick fix", there's a clear process to get your stuff in the queue.

If your workplace already works like this, you don't need agile, scrum or any other method with a fancy name. Keep doing what you're doing.

Agile is a way to save developers in orgs where it's normal for the sales guy to come in to a team's room and announce that they sold feature X to a client already and it needs to be delivered next Friday.
Yes. Quantum mechanics for example is not something that could have been thought of even conceptually by anything “locked in a room”. Logically coherent structure space is so mind bogglingly big we will never come close to even the smallest fraction of it. Science recognizes that only experiments will bring structures like QM out of the infinite sea into our conceptual space. And as a byproduct of how experiments work, the concepts will match (model) the actual world fairly well. The armchair is quite limiting, and I don’t see how LLMs aren’t locked to it.

AGI won’t come from this set of tools. Sam Altman just wants to buy himself a few years of time to find their next product.

I live in an area where advertising is not allowed to target children directly.

As a result, the adverts don't show children playing with the toys, but present the toys in a bland setting as potential gifts for adults to buy. They will show an adult happy with a purchase. In short, they simply cannot address children directly through television. However, it's a fine line and you hardly ever see advertisements for toys unless there's a clear educational value. That's my understanding at least.

Most Nintendo adverts show young adults playing on a sofa or on the go in a train.

I worked technical support at a mid sized company that sold some equipment that had very expensive support contracts. These support contracts made up a large % of the company income and our customers were happy to pay them.

When I joined the team first thing the director told me was "everyone fucks up, you will to, just tell the truth and you'll be good". I learned quickly that there was no finger pointing allowed in that team. If something went wrong we'd figure it out later and in the meantime do the right thing to help the customer.

It was a great culture in that group. There was surprisingly little bureaucracy in the tech support team. You could do what you needed to to get things done / got the help you needed. Almost every call that came in was immediately answered, and our customers loved us.

Later (after a series of other acquisitions and etc) we picked up a company that had more than 4x the number of support techs and they solved less than half the number of tickets. Even the tickets weren't "solved" as much as they went through the motions and they hit their metrics.

That group was all about finger pointing, they didn't seem to know how to do anything else. They weren't even good at finger pointing. One manager who loved to come up with theories as to why our team was "cheating". He somehow triggered an "investigation" into his theory as to why his team didn't solve tickets and others did. That investigation found found that his very specific theory as to how other teams were messing with the number of closed tickets .... that his team was the only one playing that game. It was so bizarre.

Unfortunately, due to the bad acts / crappy culture from the new team we ended up with a slowly evolving / massive bureaucracy too all designed as CYA type setups where everyone "did what they should have done" but really never solved any problems.

I feel like that's often the source of bureaucracy.
Found a recent screenshot of it on Reddit. Looks good, I hope it has similar nesting like Tree Style Tab though. In my opinion that is still the best implementation of this idea across all browsers.

Firefox' UI has kinda stagnated. It's not like other browsers are far ahead – Chrome doesn't have vertical tabs either – but it does have groups and profiles. They really need to get out of this stale and boring state and innovate more, so I'm glad they finally found some time to do this.

https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1emmfvb/ive_just_f...
They unfortunately ruined TST with the switch to WebExtensions because it could no longer replace the top tab bar. There were hacks you could do by modifying something in your Firefox profile directory.

Bizarre to me that they didn't take TST's popularity as a hint of supporting vertical tabs as a native feature until almost 7 years later.
> and if this is part of a pattern of unpredictable behaviour

This is just re-asserting the opinion that he's unhinged rather than shitposting for entertainment. Nothing you've presented suggests anything "unhinged", and investors can decide for themselves if his "risky behaviour" warrants their money.

> from the man who can decide whether your astronauts get home or not

If you seriously think Musk would decide to not assist, you're deluded. Not only would he not do this for personal ethical reasons and his interest in space exploration, he knows most of his staff would resign in protest, and that would also be the end of SpaceX's government contracts, and thus basically the end of SpaceX.

If he's truly unhinged as you claim, then you can expect that this will happen sometime soon. I won't hold my breath.
Yeah, an LLM applied to converting design docs to programs seems like, essentially, the invention of an extremely high level programming language. Specifying the behavior of the program in sufficient detail is… why we have programming languages.

There’s the task of writing syntax, which is the mechanical overhead of the task of telling the computer what to do. People should focus on the latter (too much code is a symptom of insufficient automation or abstraction). Thankfully lots of people have CS degrees, not “syntax studies” degrees, right?

Passenger numbers were generally CLIMBING in the 80s, Intercity was massively popular and successful, which was the reason for sectorization - let the bits that should be funding the system as a whole succeed, and let the bits that need subsidies fail.

"Skill issue"
Marx's version of "socialism" meant the abolition of private property.

In practicality, like it or not, "socialism" is used to represent an extremely large range of ideas. Today it almost exclusively refers to "social democracy" (ie, what we see in Scandinavia) and almost nobody is out here advocating for the abolition of private property.

In America, we see a lot of intentional conflation of these terms, used as a scare tactic, because our public is under-educated on these terms and we have a lot of emotional baggage left over from the Cold War.

Many in the media and in politics talk about socialist ideas such as free healthcare and education as if they're a prelude to full-blown Marxist abolition of private property when in reality, literally nobody is asking for that.

The issue with Boeing isn’t risk mitigation.

The problem is that they have managers that don’t understand basic engineering and manufacturing practices, and that focus entirely on short-term financial engineering.
