This highlights another thing I love about watching SpaceX's unprecedented rate of progress. They're managing the complex balance of risk, learning, time and budget extremely well. I'm not an expert in the relevant domains but even I've noticed and appreciated that the typical SpaceX development test always manages to get big chunks of new data, while still having some notable things not quite working.

It's an object lesson in rapid engineering development. If everything goes perfectly in a development test, it's a sign you're not moving fast enough (meaning not taking enough risk per increment to maximize learning). As valuable as Falcon, Starlink and Starship are, the biggest near-term value of SpaceX may be providing such a clear demonstration of well-executed "fail fast, learn fast" engineering that even politicians and bureaucrats can understand it.
I perused the Rustic website and they have a direct comparison of Restic here: https://rustic.cli.rs/docs/comparison-restic.htm. At face value I thought it was just, "because it's Rust," but it does appear to have a few additional features.

I haven't used either, though.

Your comment isn't equivalent to the original code.

Your one liner is doing this: `process.stdout.write('')`

Jitl's example is doing this: `new Promise(resolve => stream.write("", resolve))`

He's passing in a promise resolver as the callback to stream.write (this is basically a `util.promisify` version of the writable.write chunk callback). If the data is written in order (which it should be), then I don't see how the `stream.write` promise could resolve before prior data is flushed. The documentation says: "The writable.write() method writes some data to the stream, and calls the supplied callback once the data has been fully handled". [1]

Not sure why this is downvoted.

Our risk-to-regulatory oversight cost benefit analysis seems extremely off - we overregulate small things that do not have large-scale meaningful impact while basically grandfather in stuff like depleting the Great Salt Lake, coal emissions, etc. which have vastly less regulatory $ spend per environmental impact.

Ideally, if we could quantify all environmental impacts into a single number (ie. CO2 emissions but also wildlife impact, etc.), the $/impact spent across different fields would be equal.

Currently, however, we are likely spending 100x+ on a per-impact basis on SpaceX regulation.

My issue with Google is biased censorship and too many garbage results. I have been using Kagi lately and the ability to blacklist domains I never want to see has helped increase the value of my search results.
Suggestion alone can make you feel high. I remember someone telling me that he got high just by touching sweaty people in a music festival where most people were high, clearly, that's placebo. And that guy was far from drug-naive.

And they sometimes give active substances to the control arm to have an effect. I remember in a covid vaccine trial, they gave the meningitis vaccine to the control group to mimic the side effects of the covid vaccine they tried. Here, they actually gave a microdose of psilocybin (1mg) to the SSRI arm. I don't know why, but maybe it was enough for them to feel something without having the full effect.
The point of the rocket equation is there are hard physical limits on what rockets can do, and dollars won't change it.

The current actively-developed VSCode extension is Tinymist. Its workflow is great and addresses all your issues (to the extent they are even relevant to Typst):

> Well, the feature you mentioned of clicking the PDF and redirecting to the source.

Tinymist does this. Click on text and it redirects the document buffer to the corresponding source text.

> Preview in the same buffer (window) as the code

Tinymist previews in a separate tab for side-by-side real-time writing with a preview.

> It uses other regexps to recognize the enabled packages, and then adds the package's macros and environments to its list, so with a command you can open an environment or macro, and it recognizes which packages you are using, if you are in a math environment, etc. and shows only the ones you can use in the context. It's like a super-intelligent set of macros.

This sounds like an artifact of Tex. The standard Typst library is very thorough. And for everything else, Typst has automatic retrieval of community packages. Just add an #import and it just works:

#import "@preview/example:0.1.0": add
#add(2, 7)

> AucTex has also great support for bibtex/biblatex, and glossary/glossaries, both for using the macros and for compiling.

This just works with Typst in-the-box for bibliographies, and with the glossarium package for glossaries (just add with: #import "@preview/glossarium:0.4.2": *). But one thing a Typst IDE like Tinymist or the web service adds to the writing environment is an autocomplete for labels and citations. Just start typing the reference and get autocomplete options.

> Automatic, intelligent, labeling.

Not sure what this means, but you can add a label to headings, figures, etc. and quickly reference them with @label, and the current IDEs

This is why Musk is silly when he claims fear over what certain possible gov administrations would do to him if elected.

He's allowed to believe whatever he wants. He's too valuable to the United States. Imagine what a BRICS country would pay for his talent? Worth his weight in gold wrapped platinum.
sounds like a reasonable hypothesis, that people who are unhappy with their emotional/mental state might be more attracted to altering it, or might experience results they consider more positive.

how do our brains decide to do anything, like eat ice cream? "hey, I loved that last time". We know that drugs are not experienced as universally positive because many people who try them in college do not go on use them throughout their adult lives.

I'm on the SearchGPT beta (alpha?) and it's honestly very good. I believe it uses Bing for its actual backend search system but it's pretty amazing to be able to ask questions in simple English and get back useful processed information sources from the scraps of the web.

Things I've asked it recently include "EVs with 800v battery packs" and "oscilloscopes suitable for hobbyists" and both gave good well-formatted lists in response.
Housing is getting so expensive that people share tiny apartments while still able to afford two cars. With that ratio you need 10 floors of parking for 10 floors of housing.

I always thought it funny how popular elevators are for vertical travel. A monorail station in the basement or even a ski lift seems a lot less space consuming.

If it means you can get a home 120m2 (1300 sq ft) in stead of 60m2 (650 sq ft) it seems worth considering.
I think it's a pretty good and well-argued video, but how many folks watched it until the end, where the clip seamlessly pivots to plugging some commercial antivirus as a "cure" for the very problems it talks about?

There's so much irony in that... as with video monetization, Google sucks, except the alternatives don't work or suck worse. Since it's unlikely that Google will have a change of heart about product design, so the only way this can change is if we come up with a better way to search the internet.
IIRC Markus Triska showed a trick (with a nickname i forgot) to constrain the search space by embedded a variable length into the top level goal.
Given that, and I mean this as a curious question, about how situations like this could be avoided or navigated out of...

Let's say you had a Mission to "Organize the world's information, and make it universally accessible and useful".

Let's also say you had a Prime Directive of "Don't Be Evil".

To help implement those, for anyone who won't get aligned, let's say you operate a colorful company shuttle bus, which can remove them from campus, in a one-way trip.

Wouldn't this solve a whole lot of problems, and narrow the solution space for a lot of other problems?
No. Way too hard to validate.
I would consider that it's relevant in case he has been insufflating anything that would explain his erratic behavior. That said, as someone in recovery, it is still not something to make fun of. He does clearly need medical help whether that be for drugs, mania or whatever it is he has going on.

The "traveling too much" is exactly the same kind of BS I would have said in my addiction. Is he referring to air pressure? Because that would happen on the plane, not hours later.
To this day Bing fails to find Microsoft Learn content, their own stuff!
It has jurisdiction over Vandenberg for private launches, and there is debate over what counts as private versus federal. However, regardless of possible environmental concerns, they’ve already explicitly said they’re targeting SpaceX because of Musk’s political speech, which is morally reprehensible and also illegal per the constitution.

So the response to "Linux isn't ready for mass adoption due to suboptimal driver availability" is "Well it works on one machine I care about"? Good for you, but how does that contradict my point?

Hey, I'm interested.
You're right, but it's a bit of an uncharitable take on the post. Nowhere does the it say that medical intervention is unnecessary for people with conditions requiring it.

Pretty impressive. The engineering team at SpaceX is really something. Some thoughts;

The 'chopsticks catch' was amazing to watch. Seems like it adds a lot of risk and clearly the booster needs additional fire suppression systems :-) perhaps the tower could mount something that sprays the booster like the barges have for the F9 boosters.

The heatshield held out for a much longer time, the asymmetric heating on the flaps was interesting. I had guessed that all four flaps would have equivalent heating based on an approach that was basically that side of the rocket perpendicular to the flow but it seems like that isn't the case. Still it seems like they are close to having something workable here.

The detonation at the end was pretty spectacular too, but I suspect that structurally the tanks failed as the rocket hit the water vs anything that was an engineering failure. Engineering it to be strong enough to land on water would presumably compromise the cargo to orbit number.

The use of Starlink was really interesting. The ability to get live video for the entire re-entry is pretty game changing for engineering. I'd guess there are even more 'views' than they showed (there would be if I were running things :-)) but overall that capability is something that really helps evaluate the changes made.

I can easily imagine that flight 6 will be nominal end to end without any unintended damage. That would enable, perhaps, one of their 'massive' Starlink missions to test cargo delivery. It will also start to give us some better numbers on exactly how much cargo Starship can put in orbit in 'full reuse' mode which is essential if they want to create a fueling station on orbit for the Artemis program.

Again, hats off to engineering at SpaceX, y'all did good.
Title should be changed from UFOs to drones (which is the actual title of the article)
I did the math, and the impact is not negligible. One single launch releases the equivalent of 5000 tons of CO2. Elon wants to get to the point where there are thousands of Starships, each doing a few trips to orbits per day. That would be more than one millions launches per year, or more than 5 GT of CO2-equivalent. That's about 10% of the worldwide emissions today.
Didn't Von Braun have a plan too? Nuclear rockets or something.
Even by Spanish colonial standards? Those colonial standards were not at all low, they were more advanced than any of their equivalent European counterparts. Any native people were considered children of god, due to their Catholic view, and us such viewed as free people. And those were the first laws proposed already in 1513 in Burgos. More advanced laws came some decades later by Bartolomé de las Casas.

In reality the settlers were not supervised and the laws were not always followed, but they were expected by the Government back in European Spain.
I second this. The Motion Canvas codebase itself is also fascinating. Extremely well written and documented.
That's nice. It doesn't imply a lower bound for costs, just of ratios of costs.
There's a conspiracy among techies growing like ivy: that UFO == aliens, and that the US gov't is in cahoots, or being attacked by them. It's SO weird to see this spread among self-described critical thinkers. Probably why the change.
It's impossible to 100% follow any value system. It doesn't mean you can forget about any values. Perfection is the enemy of the good. So I don't see your point. All compromises come with a cost (effort, money, lack of features). Everybody chooses which cost they can afford, as it should be.

Have you checked out KeenType?

https://gitlab.com/DaveJarvis/KeenType

It's a Java-based implementation of TeX, forked from NTS, that was optimized to render 500 to 1,000 equations in real-time on commodity hardware. My text editor, KeenWrite, uses the KeenType library to preview the document. The final output is passed to ConTeXt for typesetting, by way of first converting Markdown to an XHTML file. (This means that KeenWrite can export as both HTML and PDF.)

It did not require CSGO, that was simply one of their examples. The very first video in the link shows a bunch of classic Arati games, and even the video which is showing CSGO is captioned "DIAMOND's diffusion world model can also be trained to simulate 3D environments, such as CounterStrike: Global Offensive (CSGO)" — I draw your attention to "such as" being used rather than "only".

And I thought I was fairly explicit about video data, but just in case that's ambiguous: the stuff you record with your phone camera set to video mode, synchronised with the accelerometer data instead of player keyboard inputs.

As for output, with the model as it currently stands, I'd expect a 24h training video at 60fps to be "photorealisic and with similar weird hallucinations". Which is still interesting, even without combining this with a control net like Stable Diffusion can do.
Thanks can I use it on the front end?

I think that's a major source of the problem here in the US. We have gotten away from outright calling stupid people stupid. The morons spouting the conspiracy theories, the emotionally charged stories, and the anti-intellectual nonsense do not deserve time or consideration. Yet we continue to be sensitive to their screeching about censorship and bias. Let them screech all they want. Their opinions don't matter.
The major misunderstanding is that SO exists to help the question author first. It is not an IRC. The most value comes from googling a topic and getting existing answers on SO.

Do you live in an area that gets hurricanes? I grew up in the gulf and while storm surge can be seriously damaging, it's not the most dangerous part.

I've been through Katrina, Gustav, Isaac and more and witnessed incredible damage from wind, rain and auxiliary tornadoes caused by the storm. I've seen wind pick up massive metal structures right in front of me, ball them up and toss them into the sky until they're just a speck on the horizon. I've woken up to my entire neighborhood missing parts of their roof. I nearly got taken out by a large pine tree. I've seen trees crush cars, boats, houses, you name it.

Hell yeah another 20 hours of doing the same boring thing all over again. Can't wait.
In the article they explicitly call out that this is intended to protect against storm surges.
