> We stopped doing serious space development after Apollo and lost a ton of institutional knowledge between then and when SpaceX started picking up where they left off.

Yup. This is part of why I really love watching For All Mankind. I love the idea of an alternate history where the space race effectively never ended. In that universe, in 1974 they were farther along than we are today.

(Yes, I know, it's fictional, and even had the space race never ended in real life, the rate of progress would probably not have been as fast as it is in the show. But I can dream...)

> Boeing has not done a lot of spacecraft design and manufacturing recently. They've spent a bunch of "time" on it, but haven't actually produced much.

And, arguably, the Boeing doing spacecraft stuff today is not the same Boeing that did spacecraft stuff decades ago, from a management and organizational culture standpoint.
Who says that's a bad thing ? Sometimes things are good enough and just need to be vetted and maintained.
I’ve been working on robotics for a few months now. I have built an arm, started receiving parts for my quadruped, and have learned enough RL to at least hold opinions on it (my background is ML/LLM training, so a bit different).

Eventual goal before I return to work next year is to have a robot I can take on walks with me that will pick up trash.

My understanding is that as of Linux 6.10, the driver will now dynamically allocate more memory for the iGPU [1]. The driver team apparently reused a strategy that had been developed for MI300A.

I'm hoping that in combination with the gfx11-generic ISA introduced in LLVM 18, this will make it straightforward to enable compute applications on both Phoenix and Strix (even if they are not officially supported by ROCm).

Firstly, it very much is a conspiracy theory.

Secondly, even if it was Ukraine it would be okay as it's a valid target during an ongoing war whereas a sabotage against Norway is not since they're not in an active war.

Free speech and freedom from censorship are important, but I'm well tired of seeing them used as an excuse to deflect from real problems like online abuse, CSAM etc. Many people on HN seem to think some kinds of problems aren't even worthy of discussion because they any sort of regulation as an attack upon their privacy.
Wouldn’t any form of digital offence mainly be a waste of resources? The reasoning behind this is that the attacker has nothing to lose. What would you ransomeware? Cheap hardware which likely isn’t even owned by the attacker?

The success rate will not be 100% when the searches actually finds something illegal. Most of them will take a plea, but on occasion, one won't.

I'm not saying it never happens, but the legal risk is too high for most cops to do it often. They may try to get you to think they will, but it's usually a bluff.

Because an LLM is really good at convincing laymen it knows what it's doing. It's really a conman simulator :)

It is great at language based tasks but people use it as an oracle for everything without understanding the limitations. It's just that friendly convincing tone that makes them think they're taking to a super intelligent being.

I’ve been thinking/slowly building a service that hosts Kubernetes control planes. Bring your own worker nodes. Users can get a fully managed control plane (upgrades, HA, etc.) in their region of choice and can use whatever workers they want—be it cloud VMs, bare metal or your laptop too.

I’ll eventually open source the single binary agent that’ll bootstrap a host into a K8s node. Just run it rootless with a join URL and voilà!

Also in the pipeline is a global load balancer service (for your clusters).

What do y’all reckon? Interesting? Yay/nay?

I appreciate the link. The GTT and SDMA tricks mentioned there don’t really increase the shared ram use imho. They just increase the virtual memory the GPU can address, but with several tradeoffs in terms of allocation and copy operations.

As an aside, it just feels like a lot of hacks that AMD and Intel should have handled ages ago for their iGPUs instead of letting them languish.

Its only a "prediction" if you call it out before it happens. With that in mind I'll predict that regardless of the election outcome, this will be the year that the not-personally-spoken animosity takes a real form in daily life.

This is the year that Left and Right, Blue and Red, Democrats and Republicans will stop associating with each other socially in daily life. MORE polarization is coming and its going to be on a personal level at the corner bar, at the job, etc and its going to become socially acceptable and maybe even "patriotic". Batshit crazy as it sounds now I can see people sporting some kind of affiliation insignia to represent their "gang".

I have started working on some open source actuarial tooling. Mostly relevant for non-life pricing.

The open tooling is quite lacking in the sense that one has to create a lot of stuff manually. Especially for the evaluations, even though most of them are quite common in the actuarial realm.

Also I wanted to tinker with Jax. So I am basing all on Jax, polars, seaborn/matplotlib and scipy.

I already have lift plots and Poisson regression in Jax. I’ll keep adding to it over the next months as time allows.

Really? Examples?
Sure, if you define "successful" in the most cynical way possible. I don't disagree with you at all that many projects (even many non-space-related) are just jobs programs masquerading as "progress" or "research" or whatever.

But so what? I don't care about that measure of "success". I care about reliable, reusable, cost-efficient space launches, and all the technological and scientific advances that can bring. By those measures, the space shuttle was a disaster of a failure. That's what we care about.

> There is a lot of evidence that the educational establishment is full of idiots.

You get what you pay for.

Pennsylvania attempted to put minimum standards on teachers; a big chunk of the teachers failed. When faced with the huge amount of money the state would have to shell out for teachers who could pass, Pennsylvania dumped the standards and never tried again.

Pay in education is garbage relative to all the other jobs a teacher is qualified to be doing instead.

And then we complain that education is dominated by the unqualified.

And so it goes.
That was one hell of a read.
> average software engineering job easier than attaining a PhD in mathematics

This isn't what I'm trying to say, I'm just saying that someone that can become good at programming could become good at advanced mathematics. If your criteria for good in advanced math is a phd then we disagree.

> They take different skills and personalities

I disagree, I think the skills are largely the same. Programming is literally encoding logic using a programming language which requires mathematical reasoning ability. Programming is more immediately practical, accessible and requires fewer credentials and that's why I think more people become good at it than math.

I have been working on a platform for digital content creators where they can sell their work or build online communities. In a few weeks it will be exactly two years since I started. I had a 6 month break but beside that it was daily grind from morning to evening. I'll be going online later this year.

Most funny thing is that the toughest part related to the project had nothing to do with coding or tech. But finding a free domain. I had no idea 99% of the .com domains are just squatters.
FWIW, It’s one of the patches linked in their linked issue.

However the commits do have some caveats called out, as do the techniques they use to achieve the higher allocations.
How is that relevant to what’s happening here? No one’s teaching three-cueing as a way to dumb anything down or enforce mediocrity - the people teaching it genuinely believe it’s the best approach to teaching reading; that it’s how good (not mediocre!) readers learn to read.
The problem? Agile and software. Too many monkeys trying to write a Shakespeare non masterpiece.
I had a heck of a time reading as a kid. I was taught just to sound every single word out and reading a chapter book took me literally forever. Beyond the time factor, my comprehension was terrible because in taking the time to sound every single word out I would lose track of the overall meaning of the sentence and often need to start over. I would say I was a very poor reader into high school.

Honestly the thing that really helped was just spending so much time on computers. Eventually something in my brain clicked and started memorizing shapes of the top of words. My eyes scan the top of the letters. I only fall through to looking at the individual letters when what I read didn't make sense. I can read pretty reasonably fast now.
For good reason - if you prioritize security above everything else, you end up building a rock, as the only system that's perfectly secure is the one that's completely useless and unusable for anything. Adding any feature, any utilitarian aspect to it, means compromising security right there and then. Security is never the goal, it's always an unpleasant cost to pay on the way to the goal.

> Skilled readers don't scan words and sample from the graphic cues in an incidental way; instead, they very quickly recognize a word as a sequence of letters

I'm really confused by this. Yes, this is what skilled readers do once they are skilled. But when any kid is starting out, they are by definition a poor (brand new) reader. Of course they will not recognize a word as a sequence of letters! So how does this "new research" help?
'The City of the Lost Children' and 'Dark City' were movies that made a deep impression on me when they came out, and so I watch them regularly still to this day.
Even myself from the 2000s would be amazed by the bandwidth that we can muster today. I am just old enough to remember waiting all day to download an IE update over dial up, and I'm definitely old enough to remember a 700MB torrent taking a whole day to download. Now I download and install a 100GB game from Steam in half an hour.

But in that same time, where bandwidth available to me has gone from <100 kbps to >1 gbps, ping has only gone from ~100ms to ~10ms.

The legacy telephone system was actually pretty good at latency, as long as you didn't end up on a crappy GEO satellite link, which dial up never would. After all, voice is actually a pretty latency sensitive application.

That said, our older ancestors would indeed be amazed at sub-second communications. Heck, even airmail latencies would seem insane to someone from before the first world war.

I think the point is that "Internet experts" (derogatory) believe they are being knowledgeable and clever when they ascribe any and everything that goes wrong with a Boeing product to McDonnell Douglas.

I believe there's also an element of "MBA bad, engineer good" resentment of management at play.

But the real truth is much more nuanced, no matter how satisfying it is to drop pithy one-liners about the MD merger.

I'm trying to wrap my brain around this. I understand that people see danger, but in fact there is no other option for us than to follow evolution. All major companies are embracing AI already and it's being used/pushed upon their customers as well.

There's danger in copying stackoverflow code as-is as well. But would that mean we should not use info that is shared on SO?

I've never heard anyone saying they use a search engine "as a last resort"

>I have piles of my own programs, notes, docs.

For me, working that way would only succeed if I would need to repeat a project that is say 90 percent the same as any of the hundreds of previous projects, and stay with a programming language like C or fortran.

But if it works for you, great as well.
I can't make sense of how such people were able to get preferential treatment from governments and/or the media to the extent that their apps were able to get so much attention and traction to begin with, and yet the same government-media complex turns on them later for obscure reasons. At this stage, It seems like all these celebrity tech billionaires are government spies or working with intelligence agencies and are being persecuted for ceasing to play ball. Like there was some kind of deal where some elite group told them; we'll let your app gain traction but then you'll do everything we tell you, or else...

I just can't make sense of these serial entrepreneurs otherwise. Thousands of similar apps were launched which were the same or better than those ones. Why were these ones allowed to gain traction? Why these people were chosen?

Whenever I've met people who've had success in tech, it was clear that there were some weird dynamics behind the scenes which made them act in ways which were highly counter-intuitive and often involved sabotaging their own projects in some ways.

Your understanding is wrong, “About 32% of all traffic crash fatalities in the United States involve drunk drivers (with BACs of .08 g/dL or higher).”

> 737 MAX being safe

At the time it was under 1 accident per 300,000+ flights which is objectively lower than 2 other jets flying at the time. Today with 346 died in 2 crashes but another 200+ people died of medical emergencies on 737 Max flights. That’s the kind of risk people are taking, flying it’s slightly more dangerous than spending that much time sitting at home watching TV.
You are right, but the enrichment of those asteroids in platinum-group metals is very small in comparison with the corresponding depletion of the surface of the planets.

While the depletion has reduced the amount of platinum-group metals by many thousands of times, the enrichment only increases their concentration a few times over the average concentration.

The reason is that the planet cores still include iron, one of the main 10 elements of the universe, the least abundant of which is many times more abundant than all the other elements combined.

The enrichment consists only in the removal of the magnesium, silicon and oxygen from the planet core, while the iron stays there.

Even with all the platinum-group elements in the core, their abundance cannot increase beyond the limit imposed by the ratios between their average abundances and that of iron (actually their abundances become a little larger than those ratios, because a bigger fraction of iron remains oxidized in the mantle than the corresponding fraction of platinum-group metals, but the difference above the average ratios remains very small).

I'm finding Claude to hallucinate less than ChatGPT, and to be far more accurate at coding than CoPilot. Pleasantly surprised on both counts.

Example hallucinations from ChatGPT include researching the dates of historical events for the company I work at, trivially verifiable by me but I was being lazy... ChatGPT told me about blog posts that never existed and I could prove never existed, Claude was spot on with dates and source links (but only appeared to have data through to the end of last year).

On coding, CoPilot came up with reasonable suggestions but Claude was able to take a file as an input and match the style of the code within the repo.

Claude, for me, is starting to hint at what a highly productive assistant can achieve.
The problem is you shouldn’t be thinking deeply about addition and multiplication when you’re just number crunching or working through algebraic manipulation.

Understanding is well and great, but instant and effortless arithmetic recall is table stakes.
A lot of the short comings of new math came from the fact that it assumed that the fundamentals of math were simple and easily understood.

Doing real algebra without something like the Kunth Bendix algorithm is somewhere between pointless memorization and the equivalent of a mathematical lobotomization.

That it wasn't invented until 1970 shows us just how poor we are at mathematics.
