Love that museum. Paul Allen really made Seattle such a great city - amazing museums, good sports, amazing biotech research, strong entrepreneurship scene. It's like Boston but better.

Also UCSF (major biotech hub) and SJSU (major electronics hub - imo EE@SJSU makes EE@Stanford look like child's play).

NASA likely will now need to replace the remaining Starliner missions on the schedule.
He’s said many times that his goal is an interplanetary civilization. Why not simply take him at his word?
Pragmatically, the statement was made famous in English by a conservative US president, addressing the nation, including his supporters, who trusted him, but not the Soviets with whom he was negotiating.

Saying, in effect: "you trust in me, I'm choosing to trust that it makes sense to make agreement with the USSR, and we are going to verify it, just as we would with any serious business, as is proverbially commonsensical" is a perfectly intelligible.

There is nothing cunning about clinging to a single, superficial, context free reading of language.

Human speech and writting is not code, ambiguity and containing a range of possible meanings is part of its power and value.

Could you clarify how this relates to your first statement?
They're meant to be competition for each other. If SpaceX should encourage Boeing to do better, and if they manage to, it will encourage SpaceX. That just isn't happening because Boeing is old and slow and not exactly keeping up in the product safety arena these days.
Starship and Starbase both required extensive government approvals, including for each launch so far.
This is a great tool!
I had a similar experience perhaps in some ways. I graduated high school and initially started university at 14. (I was tall, which is probably good in this case, as it let me pass for a very young looking maaaaybe 18, in the setting).

My “work history”

Has been 8 ish, doing yard work around town with 2 other kids (nothing crazy, weeding, push mowing, leaves, clearing brush, etc), and then working at a stables for a bit when 12.

I ended up getting an hourly part time position at campus, at 16 ish I took a break for 2 years, worked in grocery, and then in pharmacy.

18, I ended up back at school. Embarrassingly it took me 3 more years to finish my undergrad. But I worked full time or nearly full time the entire time. (Floater pharmacy tech, part time backup event photographer, and then as a store manager at a hobby store).

I found it very hard to make friends with people my own age, but found it incredibly easy to make friends with returning students - either they had worked a career and came back to school, or had done some time in the military etc., I also made some great friends who had moved to the U.S., usually as late teens, from developing countries.

Knowledge, perspectives, etc I learned from these people … and from some people I ended up being very lucky to work with, honestly proved in hindsight to be much more impactful and valuable to my life and career then I could have ever imagined.

I will say, tongue in cheek, but also some truth:

You could probably apply the anna karenina principle to all of the people I can think of who were impactful in some way… either through the lens of trauma/ struggle / or dysfunctional family. (This would also apply to myself!)

Do you take politicians at their word? Car salesmen?

If not, it’s because we recognize people have many different incentives than they publicly display.
How does it make any difference about being trapped and dying?
I take issue with this.

Typically issues arise because they are novel and are unforeseen. If we did see these issues beforehand they'd be fixed! LLMs by definition are trained by example, so I fail to see how finetuning LLMs on things that have already happened to be helpful for determining the root cause of a novel issue.

LLMs seem to lack systemic modelling that humans do. I can see LLMs being practical for this if it is shown that LLMs are capable of modelling scenarios outside of their dataset, but thus far none such examples exist.
The issue here is that the only value of the adage is in the sleight of hand it lets you perform. If someone asks "don't you trust me?" (ie "do you have to verify what I do/say?"), you can say "trust, but verify!", and kind of make it sound like you do trust them, but also you don't really.

The adage doesn't work under any definition of trust other than the one it's conflicting with itself about.
>if someone is incapable of making good faith genuine attempts to mitigate against atrocious things happening openly in the property they control, then isn’t this fairly solid evidence they’re just not capable of owning that property?

Even if true, what then? It doesn't follow said property can be ethically transferred to anyone else; otherwise you've just thrown out all semblance of property rights. You've sold off the world to the HOA's, as it were; now anyone who objects to the way you maintain your grounds has a button to push to make sure you are deprived of any grounds you keep. Be they real, or digital.

If I make a platform that shuffles bits around, and a bunch of users start using it for CP and terrorism (lets assume perfect enforcement/investigative capability up until piercing the platform, so probability 1 on the CP/terrorism front); I don't think the choice then is "lets shluff this to someone responsible to admin/make a tap". The only ethically tenable approach would be "well, no more moving bits around by anyone for anyone else anymore". And at that point we've unmade computing essentially.

No one, and I mean "Not One Single Entity, government or otherwise" can be trusted to not to abuse privileged access; and once put into the position to abuse, abstain from doing so. Abuse is probability 1. This is part of why I believe Stallman was right. The concept of the user account has been a disaster for the human species. As it is by the prescribing of unique identifiers to discern one operation on behalf of someone from another that has created a world in which we can even imagine such horrifying concepts as a small group unilaterally managing the entirety of the rest of humanity, for any purpose.

For me it is a sobering thought on the impact of automated business systems. I've practically 180'd on actual character of my own life's work. It's got me in a spot where I'm strongly considering burning my tools. Extreme? Maybe. Sometimes though, you have to accept that there are extremely unpleasant consequences out there that cannot be satisfactorally mitigated.

So I have a return question for you. Are you sure that the question you asked is the one you should be asking, or should you be asking yourself, "how many lives are acceptable casualties in order to continue operating within the bounds of my assumed ethical envelope?" Because there is a counter of people effected; you may not be able to read it or write it, but it's there.
"Trust, but verify"?
Teavana tea bags do contain plastic although it seems it may be plant-sourced biodegradable plastic so not sure it counts for a microplastics thing.

https://ceh.org/yourhealth/plastic-in-my-tea-bag/

I think fancy pyramid-shaped teabags are often nylon (ie plastic) and less often silk (eg I think teapigs might use silk). More old-school flat bags are generally some sort of papery stuff, although that could be bleached with something nasty.

If you worry about plastic and sundry chemicals in drinks you're better off just making loose tea. You get a better cup of tea and you know that tea is all that's in it. (other than anything that was already in the water to start with)
Usually they’re paper, but misguided companies have been pushing plastic. I guess some consultants somewhere think the plastic format looks like it should cost more. Personally, to me the plastic format looks like a hazard, so I avoid it.

Some research has found that plastic teabags robustly dose the tea drinker with not only microplastics but also nanoplastics:

LCDs imperfectly block the backlight to make obviously impure black for #000000. Every OLED I've seen has slight light emission for #000000 (leakage current?) too. And very few monitors are used in a perfectly dark environment, so there's light reflecting off the screen even in the #000000 areas.
Nuclear power is a complement, not a replacement. Together with wind, solar and water it helps keeping energy supply stable and cheap for all days of the year no matter the weather conditions.

Well, protons beat out electrons for at least keeping the divergence down, any volume of lightsaber with a net charge is still going to be vulnerable to fridge magnet attack. Also, I have a strong feeling that it wouldn't look very lightsaber-ish. More like a rapier, although I guess for aesthetic purposes you could have scores of little emissions tubes and switch between them on the order of milliseconds and hope that persistence of vision would create an illusion of thickness.

I have a feeling that the sudden stop could be nasty for even the person holding the hilt, just tons of energy spraying wildly around, a big enough radiation vacation that even the Hulk might blanch at soaking up the gammas. It would still technically qualify as handheld melee arm, but it would be so indiscriminate as to be an inelegant weapon of a more uncivilized age.

Are these system prompts actually adding any value? I use Claude for coding a lot and haven't seen any meaningful difference from just giving it the code and asking for a change.

I never made the "one hour of storage" argument so that's a straw man as far as I'm concerned.

And my comment is made sincerely. Seasonal storage is make-or-break for renewables in many geographies (or has to be propped up by fossil fuels, which is the status quo).
I'm experimenting to figure out the simplest setup possible that allows me to expose an internal web service (eg localhost:3000) to the public Internet (eg app.example.com).

A million ways to do this, of course, but I'm focused on using wireguard so that eg only my wireguard peers can get access to my local service, and for internal traffic (ie vpn).

At the moment I'm settling on having a simple script that I can run on a host alongside wireguard. The script will function like `wg-quick`, parsing a wireguard config file and handilng the routing stuff behind the scenes, and returning a cleaned up config to be passed to `wg`.

Ideally, the wireguard configs could be generated by some other tool or service, like https://wirehub.org, and automatically fetched and applied to the running wg interface.

So, a one liner on a server with a public IP and the services exposed by your wireguard peers can be accessed via a custom domain name while still respecting internal wireguard routing rules (based on AllowedIPs).

All three statements are manifestly true. I'd only add that free time is bi-modal; under- and over-employed with few people (in the USA) having "just right" work-life balances.

Further, wrt "cops can't easily go", u/ruined might be riffing on ideas popularized by James C. Scott. eg The Art of Not Being Governed [2009] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_Not_Being_Governed
> SpaceX technology and logistics have increased dollars-to-delta-V efficiency so much that they are benefiting from Jevons Paradox[0], with orbital launch demand skyrocketing (heh) due to a step change in cost.

Do you have support for this? As far as I know, SpaceX hasn't really reduced its customer-facing launch prices much since it's started regularly re-using rockets and last I saw, most demand increase in rocket launches are from SpaceX's own business of Starlink and there the industry at-large has not increased its demand. Amazon Kuiper has bought a as much launch capacity as they can from every supplier but it's unclear if that will pan out. Rocket Labs is the second busiest launcher in the US market with 10 launches in 2023[0].

A McKinsey report on this mentions that SpaceX is both a big driver of demand and supply because of Starlink[1]. And because of constellations, there might be a short-term limit in supply but long term over-abundance.

So is there a Joven's Paradox going on in space launches? IMO, no. But, SpaceX is certainly benefiting from being owner of a satellite constellation, which requires tons of launches, and being a launcher so they can do them at-cost.

This is speculation, sure. You may say all theorists do are speculations. They propose ideas, show that it is falsifiable, and it is not their duty to then write proposals and come up with experiments and then take observations and only having done that in a decade to publish one single citable thing. Not to mention this signature should be looked for in an experiment that has much larger scope and can be one of the hundreds of things a single analysis has included, and might at most constitute a few sentences in a dozens-page paper.

Your expectation is infeasible. Setting that expectation is irresponsible.
Oracle's CONNECT BY is much easier to write and understand than recursive CTE. It's a pity it's not standart.
Exactly, and people complaining that the price would fall so it wouldn't really be "that" valuable are missing the forest for the trees. Having a hundred times more platinum available to our civilisation (and platinum being a hundred times cheaper) because there are 200 shiploads of it coming down a year is going to drive innovation & utility in ways we can't even predict yet. Same goes for every other precious metal we can get in abundance from asteroids.

Deaf relay is done by transcriptionists. The end user relies on deaf relay in a way where automatic systems are not really an option - possibly in a life and death way if someone is calling their pharmacy or doctor or whatever. It's common for the relay agent to use their human intelligence to navigate a phone menu or get the right party on the line, to rephrase and clarify, since typing is so slow. That's actually a great benchmark for when AI will be ready. Can it replace humans for that task? At present absolutely not. (Trust me I've tried the various speech recognizers. Add a little noise or a mumbly person and it can degrade into uselessness. And the AI isn't going to interrupt someone immediately and then to repeat the last phrase.

Anyway. You need to register for relay service with the provider. Using without would be unauthorized.
> biodegradable plastic

This is green-washing. It's not really biodegradable in the way that it implies.
You’re overthinking the issue. The laws not authored but enforced in the U.K. are done so with the express authority of Parliament. Treaty ratification is literally “passing an Act of Parliament that implements the treaty in U.K. law.” Parliament can also delegate legislation authority to other bodies. It can also revoke that authority (within the U.K.) either in part or in full.

This has actually happened on multiple occasions: Brexit being one that removed European institutions’ right to set rules that the U.K. must comply with. It’s also an example of where this isn’t free: the government agreed to a bunch of rules right back because cutting ourselves off from Europe would have obliterated the economy.

So "trust me, but verify others"? Where have you seen this adage used in this sense? It's not even used like that in the original Russian, where Reagan lifted it from.
How it's not? Government agencies like NASA gets budget at percent GDP and given vague goals. They spread it out to aerospace job programs and do nice things along the way.

It doesn't really matter how much of what is done, so long the US gets to keep enough aerospace workforce needed to design and mass produce enough Casablanca-class orbital dropships in WW3.

Boeing Defense is doing exactly that. They're competent enough.

>police state

Isn't a police state where a government is concerned with security above all else? To my mind, a place where private organizations are above all concerned with security is the exact opposite, anarchy, since there's no collective security framework in place to take the security burden off private organizations.
This is what ngrok does right? I'm really interested in how this works, I've never looked into it before. Presumably it requires some kind of dynamic DNS updates if you don't have a static IP?
Thanks for the feedback!

This is happening because I intentionally added a strong bias for more recent books. I thought that's what most people would be looking for - at least for fiction - and I also assumed there were other good ways to discover older books (lists, collections etc).

You're absolutely right though, it should give you some Victorian lit given your preferences! I'll work on addressing this.
this example seems to simple. if i write that, why would i not write the invitation myself?

ok, i get it, it lets me avoid having to address the person directly, especially for people who are insecure or just overthink what to write, but is this really healthy?

where will it end? using AI to write love letters?

on the other hand, you could leave out the email sending feature (and this avoid any spam problems) and just send the generated text as a reply that i can then forward.

a generic email interface to send AI prompts sounds useful. encouraging people to write personal emails using AI not so much.
