What if LLMs are effective enough at assisting coders that they're spending less time on SO and instead pushing more open source code, which is more valuable for everyone?
It might not be that simple - I've read an article how they recovered one of the solid rocket boosters from the first successful Ariane 5 flight to check all was fine. IIRC it was a slog, they had to tow it back very very slowly, avoid it sinking, fighting all kinds of weather and tow line issues, etc. Have not found the article, but there is a picture how it looked like[0].

With Starship it could have been similar & possibly worse given the size and more complex shape (various voids that might fill/drain & the thing is not really built for floating). Also you are in the middle of an ocean (Indian in this case) with potential for all kinds of weather on the way. Towing might again be very slow, so you might need to stage a massive submersible transport ship or something similar to make a recovery successful. And then the thing might still tip over and explode anyway - meaning all this was in vain.

I think is most likely they won't bother and instead just stream as much data as possible over Starlink in real time (or heck, even via WiFi once the buoy is in range) for analysis. They want to catch the shop eventually anyway, so manual post flight analysis will wait.

They can now check all over the first recovered booster anyway. :)

Weight. Legs weigh a lot. That's dead weight for a launch system, and it serves only to reduce payload to orbit.

For Falcon 9 that's not that big a deal because they're NOT trying to reuse the second stage. Whereas with Starship they need more fuel to recover the ship, and that means they need to save weight elsewhere to avoid losing too much payload to orbit.

Musk tweeted that he's filing a lawsuit Tuesday morning.
Errol Musk was one of several investors, and in any case the vast majority of people aren’t in a position to have their parents invest $28 000 (nearly $60 000 today) in an uncertain business venture.

> Musk was the richest man in the world when he acquired x.com. He didn't need family connections for that.

You edited your comment to remove the bit about living in youth hostels and working menial jobs, this was my reply to it:

A rite of passage. It was quite common for upper middle class and wealthy South African kids to spend a year working menial jobs and living in hostels as a way to build character and find themselves.
I know, personally, people who worked in tree clearing in Canada, picking fruit in Australia, manual labour at ski resorts in New England, and living in youth hostels all before going to university to start the courses their parents were paying full tuition fees for. All of the people I mentioned are doing well in their careers, because none were actually poor despite working manual labour jobs for a year.
They've landed over 300 Falcon boosters and haven't wrecked their barges yet I expect that this won't be a major issue.

Pay has gotten better, plus the individual branches all have stronger CyberCorps now.

That said, CyberCom still has issues because it's a unified command and not a branch, which means it has limited say and will always get overshadowed by individual branches and the NSA.

Another interesting change is the rise of private sector players and public-private partnerships to help remediate the pay gap - this is what China and Russia did due to similar issues around renumeration, and most other NATO+ allies like Israel, UAE, Singapore, etc leverage this model.

Anecdotally, outside of the NSA, it appears that most what I'd term "white collar lifers" within branches prefer Intel over Cyber because it's easier to learn due to less STEM, and a significant portion of those who do Cyber will tend to leave for private sector.

That said, Cyber Reserves forces are fairly prominent now and probably the best way to remediate this gap.

I'm biased, but imo, the US needs to adopt the Israeli model of public-private offensive security capabilities plus a strong reserves component, because the pay gap and the respect gap just won't be fixed due to internal intertia in the services.
I used to drink quite often and often in large amounts. I don’t think it was ever problematic drinking, but also not on the moderate side.

At some point in my mid 30s the ROI started turning negative. Started getting sleepy after a couple of drinks, sleep was noticeably worse, and next day felt worse physically.

So while for me it wasn’t an explicit decision to stop drinking, I sort of naturally mostly stopped because it just didn’t make much sense anymore. All the same benefits described above.
Well, at least the title is honest. Straight up asking people to break standards out of sheer conviction is a new one for me personally, but it's definitely one of the attitudes of all time, so maybe it's just me being green.

Can we ask for the typical *nix text editors to disobey the POSIX standard of a text file next, so that I don't need to use hex editing to get trailing newlines off the end of files?

I'd say there were both advantages and drawbacks to the BBS scene. The biggest single advantage was that it tended to be local - of necessity, since long-distance phone calls to reach distant systems could cost a fortune, even at night rates.

There were attempts to address this. Networked forums became available, and there was PC Pursuit, an effort by Telenet to sell off-peak capacity on their X.25 network to people wanting to call faraway BBSes. A user could dial in to a local access number, then use their network to dial out to a remote system, provided their network could dial it from a nearby modem pool.

Eventually it convinces everybody that "quantity in space" is possible. Moving to projects where you don't have to count every ounce. It opens the path to wild schemes, in amount of weight that could be moved.

And why "eventually"? SpaceX should have already convinced people of that. Yeah it's not yet in production, but the momentum and progress have been amazing to witness.

(The previous one was convincing everyone that there was lots of space for tech improvement. Wake up call achieved just a few years ago also by SpaceX.)

We use synthetic biology to modify what is already available in nature and then call it "synthetic lifeforms" but it is like a cheap knockoff of the original with barely functional system.

All of these "synthetic lifeforms" I have seen are usually very gimped and nowhere as robust as a normal bacteria. It is still an ongoing effort to make a real, designed from scratch, comparable bacteria that can match the original. But speaking as someone who worked on these things, I would not expect any major breakthrough soon.
SMTP <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2821#section-4.1.1....> is pretty clear that the message termination sequence is CR LF . CR LF, not LF . LF, and disagreements in this spot are known to cause problems (include undesirable message injection). But then enough alternative implementations that recognize LF . LF as well are out there, so maybe the original SMTP rules do not matter anymore.

Yes. I've lived on FL's gulf coast for over 30 years.

Storm surge is the leading cause of deaths from hurricanes. Rain-induced flooding is second.

I've been thru two in the last three weeks. Past that I'm not sure, dozens certainly. I've also witnessed other impact areas during 3 decades of organized storm relief - most recently yesterday.

I'm trying to pin down what you mean by "most dangerous". It doesn't seem tied to number of lives lost or the number of structures damaged. Those are from surge and flooding.

The damage you describe seems like it would be photographic and striking. Is that what you mean my most dangerous?

You can visit your local park hopefully you live in an area with one. You can invest time using transit to get to another park. Traveling during rush hour would be difficult. Traveling with many children or younger children adds a difficulty. Being disabled or older or worse disabled with children more difficult. For the young, childless, plenty of time on their hands or live next to a park of course walking a few steps is a no brainer.

But it's like buying a gym membership across town with the idea that you would walk everyday. You aren't going once winter hits.

Not American but have been young and took transit and walked everywhere but also seen seniors in wheelchairs who stopped going to the park after they stopped allowing cars to park.

From an article for this I remember one more interesting side effects of this approach - the flight computer ends up as a generic x86/ARM board that the engineers can just have on their desk during development. Previously the dev boards would use the same rad hard chips and would be as expensive and scarse as flight hardware, resulting in much harder development & engineers having much less experience with the real hardware.

> I would guess that less than 20% of the core SYSTEM is essentially the same (but often quite a bit enhanced). For the rest of the software, I would think it's even less.

ZWEI, TV and SI makes up the majority of the base system which is far more than "20%" percent, which is ignoring EH, WINDOW, and anything else that is essentially processor agnostic.

The target processor is not that important from the users point of view, to the point that Lambda and CADR shared the exact same source code, and microcode. The Explorer I was essentially a Lambda. Much was "feature" protected with #+/#- to the point where many of the systems worked on Genera as well.

So that seems at par with the CPU architectures that Symbolics made, which is "just" a change to the compiler .. and not the overall system .. which is what was being discussed. But yes, Symbolics did design hardware done by Symbolics and made sure it worked on their system .. not sure what your point is other than giving an incorrect view of history and what Symbolics actually did to the Lisp Machine system parts (Symbolics work was much more interesting when it came to other systems like the 3D stuff and what not).

Some pretty stereotypical technophile thought in there I think.

Rockets are cool but are they progress? Depends on your (subjective, personal) beliefs and value system. IMO they’re part of a self-fulfilling quasi-religion that predicts and through sheer will basically ensures a certain techno-capitalisto-centric future at the cost of everything else.

Either way, I reject the idea that you’re either a conformist or you should celebrate Musk. I would go as far as saying that Musk fans, like Trump fans, are probably more conforming and susceptible to groupthink than most folks.

Never tried it. Seems like it's vaguely hard to consume safely since it is tied to shaman woo culture overseas. Supposedly there are sessions in the bay area, but I'm not cool enough to know people who know about them, or for that matter the other things I'd like to try.

It can also be super delicious. So far this year I’ve had something like ten beers, a couple glasses of wine, and one or two cocktails and I thoroughly enjoyed each. Made the meal I had them with better. I think if I totally gave alcohol up, I would lose more than I would gain.

Aside from the obvious drinks, alcohol can be a great addition to food because lots of very tasty compounds are dissolved by alcohol. It’s why deglazing a pan with some red wine is the start of many great sauces.

The high-context culture would seem to be an adaption to the lower lexical density, if that’s the case?

e.g. to save on space, paper, writing effort, etc…, Turkish writers have to rely on the reader reading in-between the lines to a greater extent than a similar English writer would in a similar position.

And after many generations of writers competing, it simply became the default norm.
Hurricanes present a triple threat. In no particular order they are 1) Storm surge, 2) insanely high winds, 3) torrential down pour and the resulting flash flooding.

Immediately along the coast the storm surge is probably the most destructive as it's a wall of water that hits and then pulls everything out to sea, but once you get a few hundred feet inland, or some elevation, it's not really a problem.

Hurricane wind speeds are comparable to tornado wind speeds, except the storms are so much bigger. They will throw projectile debris at windows, and then they break the resulting change in pressure will blow out and rip the roof of a home clean off.

Then the incredible amount of rain they generate can create devastating flooding, and this can happen hundreds of miles from the coast(this is what happens in Asheville, North Carolina, and the specific geography made the flooding worse and harder to recover from since Asheville is a mountain valley river town)

Just a programmer, though been interested in physics since I was a teen and did take a bachelor degree in simulation (mainly physics).

Long ago though so rusty, $dayjob doesn't involve any advanced math at all.

edit: To expand, the "rough spreadsheet integration" was just the Euler method[1] assuming a constant acceleration. So

v(t+dt) = v(t) + a * dt

The acceleration comes from F=ma as mentioned, where F is the force of the engines (Newtons), m is the mass of the rocket (kg) and a is the acceleration (m/s^2). Solving for a we get a = F/m and we get

v(t+dt) = v(t) + F/m(t) * dt

To make things easy I assumed the weight of the rocket was constant at each timestep, but if we take dt to be small enough it's a decent enough approximation. For each timestep I also updated the mass using the estimated mass flow:

m(t+dt) = m(t) - 650 * dt

I started with m(0) = 377000 kg, v(0) = 1250 km/h = 347 m/s, and a constant -31850000 N force from the engines.

Using dt = 0.1 seconds, I got almost exactly 4 seconds until the velocity reached zero.
