Under what authority would US Government use to "Fire all the C-suite" and break Boeing into pieces?

You not liking a company doesn't mean the federal government gets to nuke it from orbit...
Innovators dilemma right? The major US automakers customers want legacy systems (laggards) and don't associate US automakers with these new systems (early majority).

I'm sure this will end well given the US policy of bailing out any large cap company that is no longer fit to compete in the market...
Chromium and Firefox are both there, yes. Sometimes one or 2 versions behind if you go for the packaged version, but I've compiled them both before quite painlessly. Even in the packages you may occasionally run into something not working - browsers are so big now and not all corner cases get tested for every possible OS. I've had tabs crashing, although not since a couple years.

The wifi is not really slow but disconnects with a certain frequency (at least 1 brief drop per day) which on the same hardware didn't happen on Windows or Linux. The slowness is not noticeable until you're trying to move gigabytes - watching youtube is unaffected for example.

Can't help with the web development info, I'm relatively ignorant there - more on the sysadmin side of things :) but a lot of Linux software can be run directly thanks to a compat layer (linuxulator) which gives you a convincing impersonation of a centos, debian or ubuntu - or you can actually run the distro themselves in a jail.

The biggest absence is Docker. Not as a concept (jails are actually better under many aspects, and native to FreeBSD), but because so much software is now shipped like that. There's progress to get them working properly, otherwise you run them in a Linux Bhyve (BSD hypervisor) VM.

I haven't tried running an LLM since none of my FreeBSD machines have hardware even remotely capable of that, would be nice to hear if anyone was successful.

While I can't disagree with any of this... just riding at 80 RPM v 50-60 RPM (what a lot of amateur cyclists do) will make a difference on the legs and knees. You can feel it immediately, even at the exact same power output. There are various studies on it with all kinds of justifications involving oxygen usage and different muscles etc etc, but just try it and it's sort of obvious.
Buying proprietary hardware to support a project does not make much sense to me.

They also haven't really sold it for a while AFAIK, a few other comments here have also mentioned this.
Flat Earthers are legitimately questioning the science because no one has (or should have) the authority to arbitrate what is too stupid to question. Everything has tradeoffs and free speech has a lot of somewhat obvious downsides.

I've definitely been using it a lot less because garbage-collection seems to be nonexistent on this platform. So many accepted answers are woefully outdated and so many non-accepted answers are, in my opinion, not acceptable. For some reason, the Stack Exchange team doesn't see this as a problem. It's definitely hindered my use of their site. AI plays a role a little bit because it can answer a lot of basic programming questions, but theoretically Stack Overflow should still be a good place to find good information on cutting edge topics – and yet that seems to no longer be the case. It's easy to blame AI, but Stack Overflow has been in decline for several years before GPT became public.

There's also a lot of petty nonsense that goes on with that site. Not as badly as somewhere like Wikipedia, but there's still lots of... peculiar personalities on Stack Overflow who participate in ways that are not constructive.
Some of this stuff happened in 2020 (who was president in 2020?) and some of it happened later. So seems to be saying the both teams were playing the game if you read between the lines (ie. you're likely right).
No it's the other way around. The Boeing we have today is the result of mergers. For example McDonnell Douglas that built the f-18 amongst other things was acquired in 1996.

You publicly make a claim, but when asked for evidence you won't provide any without payment? That's... certainly the boldest response I've ever seen to a request for evidence.
You’re not alone.

I would say I’m not ‘new’ and even developed .net 4.5 for a number of years. I’m just as stumped by the naming mess that Microsoft made across the board in that space.

Edit: I say 4.5 because I mean the original thick .net which is not dotnet core, which I think is the way to differentiate between versions, but also all the sub libraries like the orm were iirc named the same but did different things.

They should have rebadged everything with a new name that didn’t involve a word that is fairly painful to google (‘core’) can be used in development as well as the name of a framework.

It looks nice, and I'm glad that it's semantic and responsive, but the fundamental problem is that monospace just isn't great for body text. I've read blog posts on multiple sites with monospaced body text, it's okay, but proportional really is the way to go in my opinion.

But the files seemingly all have headers. Maybe TF offers an encrypted "inside the file" while having the headers not encrypted, but unless they do it doesn't look like it.
Yeah, new rule: I don't believe anything in a published scientific paper until it has been independently verified for the third time. I don't even want to hear about it, before then, unless I read the journal the original (or second) paper was published in. What I'd really like, and would subscribe to even as a lay person, is the JOURNAL OF STUDIES WHOSE FINDINGS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY REPRODUCED FOR THE THIRD TIME. I'd pay for a subscription to that.

Why create a round trip space craft, when you can build and discard two one-way craft for twice the price?

(At first I didn't think this could really work, until I realized the second craft could have been towed up by the first.)

Incredible kudos to SpaceX, when you consider its comparable competitors repeatedly fumble (Boeing), move slow (Blue Origin), lost their edge (Russia), fidget spinner themselves out of relevance (ULA, Arianespace, Orbital Sciences), whiffed (Sea Launch), or very "successfully" build, launch and discard fortunes (er, flights) for the purpose of justifying those same flights (er, fortunes) (NASA).

Kudos to China too for some prolonged and relatively rapid progress. It will be interesting to see how that progress continues given the "Coolish War" we are now in.
Sufficiently large companies should have a healthy “internal portfolio” of projects as well. Some safe bets/easy wins, some “this probably won’t work but if it does it’s game changing” projects as well. If they want to continue to exist in a competitive market they need to strike gold occasionally (which means hitting rock a lot of the time as well).

> “If you look at just the cost of obesity in the U.S., it’s a disease that costs Americans more than $400 billion a year,” Lars Fruergaard Jørgensen said in an interview on “NBC Nightly News.”

OK, the Iraq war cost half that. Lets invade Denmark to beat obesity.
World electricity consumption is 60,000 GWh per day. "Last one average day" is much greater than existing battery production can satisfy - it's around 40x annual battery production to achieve just 12 hours of storage. And that's ignoring the fact that electric vehicles are consuming the vast majority of battery production. Making any serious efforts towards grid-storage would set back EV adoption.

Can you please cite the court case that proves Trump won in 2020? Regardless of how many people believe that the Democrats cheated, asserting that Trump won AND that his alleged victory was proven in court is quite a bold claim. Post proof or gtfo.
"The team is also working on a cheaper version of traditional transducers, which can cost more than $2,000 a piece" - Do these transducers require very high input power out of interest?

Also what frequency does an acoustic modem typically use?

And finally are they expensive because they're somewhat niche, or difficult to manufacture, both, or other reasons?

Edit: looks like the datasheet for 'Waterlinked M16', mentioned in another comment answers the first couple of questions. Seems a lot lower in power than I'd have thought.
They can't per say fire them. But they could start cancelling contracts if they think Boeing isn't going to deliver. And they can break up the company into smaller ones to foster competition this has happened in the past in other industries.
Sounds a bit like Librem 5.
The separation vote wasn’t sanctioned by the Feds, so even if they got a majority, it would probably get shut down by the courts.

RFK Jr dropped out of the race, endorsed Trump and appeared with him at a Trump rally.
The Canadian's had their own counter plan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence_Scheme_No._1 It would have been a gigantic failure. The plan was to try and mobilize quickly, seize Buffalo, Detroit and Seattle, and hold on for dear life until the BEF arrived. But the British were clear from the beginning that they were never going to send significant reinforcements to Canada: the ocean was too large, the USN too strong, and the Canadian plains too vast for the British army to be able to effectively defend. At most they might try and send some troops to defend Halifax as a key naval base. So the Canadian plan ensured that their best troops would be lost quickly, that the Americans would be super-pissed off and unified, all for an ending that would never come. So while it might have made sense militarily, it could never have worked politically.

The US war plan for the UK was similarly weird: according to Miller, _War Plan Orange_ War Plan Red was the result of a deal between the US Navy and Army. The Navy wanted War Plan Orange (war with Japan) and so they let the Army write War Plan Red (the UK). Which was why a war between the two mightiest naval powers on the planet in 1925 called for the US Navy to be on the defensive, at most seize the Bahamas, Jamaica, and Halifax to try and deny them as bases to the RN, and then the US Army would invade a separate nation (Crimson aka Canada) that would probably try and be neutral in the war!

Basically, from what I can tell, the US, Canada, and UK were putting their best war planners on the likely threats, and putting their less experienced and good planners on these war plans. Because War Plan Orange was, at least if you squint, how the US defeated Japan. And the Canadian and UK's war planners for mobilizing in World War Two and sending them to France did a bang-up job. It was just these plans that were not thought through and would have been disasters if implemented.

> If the genetic advantage is nullifiable, how can it exist?

"Nullify" was a bad word to use, so thank you bringing that to my attention.

The genetic advantage is environmentally dependent. In other words, having the right genes may be necessary, but the right genes alone are not sufficient.

> they are speaking with respect to maximum potential.

And how is the maximum potential determined? Maximum potential seems to me like some kind of ethereal value based on comparative associations to others with the same/similar genes. "Feynman has these genes and was a genius. If you have these genes you should be a genius too." We both know genetics and intelligence do not work like this.

> Environmental factors may leave you shorter than your potential

Human Growth Hormones can also leave you taller than your "potential" if administered prior to your growth plates forming. So, the "potential" value is apparently not static because environmental values can increase/decrease the potential.

> people to a perfect growing environment, they would not all end up being the exact same height.

We can assume this, but we cannot possibly confirm this. Albeit, I do agree with you on this, rationally speaking.

> But then what genetic advantage is there to speak of?

The genetic advantage would be having the appropriate genes in the appropriate environment.
Love raccoons but am also reminded of Rascal cartoons in Japan:

How a Kids’ Cartoon Created a Real-Life Invasive Army (2017)

https://nautil.us/how-a-kids-cartoon-created-a-real_life-inv...

tl;dr Pet raccoons were popular in Japan because of a popular cartoon and then at the end of the series everyone started releasing their pets into the wild and it caused them to overpopulate and do tons of damage to the ancient temples etc!
My personal experience with metformin was it didn't cause weight loss, until I deliberately also tried diet (< 100 g net carbs per day) and exercise (~4 miles walking/day). That ended up being much easier to stick to than I had previously found it to be, and has caused me to slowly but steadily lose 25 pounds since May.
I thought the same thing, but when I test the model on like titles of new mangas and stuff that were not present in the training dataset, the model seems to know of not knowing. I wonder if it's a behavior learned during fine-tuning.
The popular story is when Boeing merged with McDonnell Douglas in the late 90's, Boeing's engineering-driven culture was replaced with the more financialization-driven culture from McDonnell execs.

The 737-MAX saga was kinda the culmination of when profit-motivated shortcuts bump up against realities of engineering safety margins. I'm sure everyone has their campfire variation on this, tons has been written about it.

So yeah on the financial shenanery, but more culture/people-in-charge than conglomeration-megacorp per-se.

> * Alongside TCP, there should have been a reliable message-oriented protocol. Send a message, of any length, it gets delivered reliably. Not a stream, so you don't have issues around "is there more coming?". There are RFCs for such protocols, but they never went anywhere.

HTTP works well enough for this for basic use cases, assuming Content-Length is set. That's probably one of the reasons it's become the default protocol.
Mono was very useful in university. Must have been 2005 when I got asked if I wanted to use Java or C# for the programming course. Being bored with Java I picked C#. We were a very small group of two students.

But as I just had a Powerbook I used Mono to run it on OS X. At the end of the course someone from Microsoft came to the university to answer any of our question about upcoming features in .NET and C#. And as we were a small group I set directly in front of him with the shiny apple point at him.

Very interesting language at that time. .NET not so much. Also still remember that we were tasked to implement 3 sort algorithms of our choice. One of mine was bogosort and with Mono on PPC it could sort up to 7 elements, before becoming really slow.

SLS stands for Senate Launch System. It's a pork distribution program.

Major beneficiaries are the states of Florida, Mississippi, and Alabama (Huntsville) but there are beneficiaries all over the place. Classical DoD/NASA contractors know to locate facilities all over the country to maximize political capital via connection to local jobs in many jurisdictions.
> So whats changed?

I think back when the internet was new, people just weren't used to anonymity and still behaved like they were in a room with other people. Also the types of people who engaged in those early internet forums may have just been less likely to be showy edgelord trolls - these types took longer to get into the internet.
only one problem with that narrative....

SpaceX has had the same exact cost overruns as Boeing....

Its a repeat of the space shuttle argument...which failed dramatically bigger in both costs and human deaths.
I agree with the part about the halo effect of U.S. security. I don't agree with the part about the America mattering more to Canada than Canada. The problem with that argument is, there's no way in which your life in Canada would be different depending on whether you were aware of the political situation in North America or not. The area in one's immediate vicinity, and the people who live with you and near you, and whether you have enough to eat: that's the kind of thing that actually matters, in the sense of directly affecting your life.
Actually it is obviously inconsistent. (I think you meant to say, "It may seem inconsistent on the surface, but if it serves their overall agenda it can still make sense for them", or something like that). But that's not the concern here.

Which is simply: even after several iterations on this topic -- no one seems to be able to point to any actual indications of the Soviets having promoted such propaganda in the West.
Yeah nah you can inhabit it. Just geez kalgoorlie if you think otherwise. Middle of nowhere, water gets pumped in.

Housing problems come from legislation that promotes housing as an investment.it also comes from protectionist legislation that keeps the profits of housing and realestate investors safe. Long list of contributing factors. Almost entirely artificially created. Things such as but not limited to, foreign ownership laws, negative gearing, investment incentives, lack of supply, consistent growth in demand and so on.
Pretty much all anticheat is kernel level because that's where hacks are now, it was not a new thing when vanguard came out either, it had been like this for years already.

I can't see why you're being downvoted.

The unfortunate reality is that those who implement policies that produce short term gain but long term costs that strike after they have moved on look better than those who actually look to the long haul.
How is .Net/Mono connected to Wine?

This is correct, although I would say time and state are two sides of the same coin, rather than the same thing. This is also why functional programming is a good abstraction, because it's abstracting time and therefore state from the logic.
I'm not actually good enough at anything to be tempted to cheat, even if I were persuaded to become ethically OK with it. But if I were, I think that's where I'd start. Oh, some game is blocking a specific model? A recompile of the firmware says look at me, I'm a Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard!
I think we're in agreement about Tesla. I believe that Musk's bullshit has greatly harmed that company. At the same time, I don't think it's hurt SpaceX very much.

If you consider it national interest, why as the biggest shareholder and bagholder do you not have board members that veto actions that are profitable but bad for national interest?
Yes, ultimately everyone is currently doing something which looks like synchronous data parallel training on the outside.

The linked PDF is very light on detail, but what results they do claim are about a 1.2bn parameter model. This is tiny; you don't need network-bound distributed training (ie, anything beyond a single datacenter class machine, or less if you're patient) to train a model that size. The comms requirements also scale with the model size, so I strongly suspect people hoping for embarrassingly-parallel-style scaling properties are going to be disappointed.

(They also appear to have, in part, reinvented parameter servers.)
> They're claiming $0.46 per kilowatt-hour

No they're not, they're claiming 0.46 ¢/kWh, as in $0.0046/kWh. That is insanely cheap. You could completely charge an EV for under 50 cents.

My electricity is $0.11/kWh and ranges from $100-300/month depending on season. At $0.0046/kWh, that would reduce to $4-12/month.
