Why can only Elon do stuff like this and not BlueOrigin or the hundreds of other aerospace startups? Does he just have a 1/100000000 combination of intelligence, tenacity, and directionality that can't be matched by anyone, even those trying to emulate him as closely as possible?

I feel like measuring fertility rates before women finish menopause is misleading and underestimates projected fertility rate. If you look at actually fertility rates at menopause, it’s close to 3, well above replacement: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S147264831...

Sure. HTTP/1.1 isn't the only network protocol, though, IETF standardization or otherwise.

For SMTP (which this subthread started with):

In addition, the appearance of "bare" "CR" or "LF" characters in text
(i.e., either without the other) has a long history of causing
problems in mail implementations and applications that use the mail
system as a tool. SMTP client implementations MUST NOT transmit
these characters except when they are intended as line terminators
and then MUST, as indicated above, transmit them only as a <CRLF>
sequence.

Your primary reason matches what SpaceX themselves have said. You either need to be strong enough to handle the shock of inpact, or need to spread the impact over time. Building either into the rocket adds a lot of mass.

Landing on a device that spreads out the shock moves that weight to the static landing platform.

What a weird reaction. Microsoft’s use of CRLF is an archaic pain in the ass. Taking a position that it should be deprecated isn’t radical or irresponsible — Microsoft makes gratuitous changes to things all of the time, why not this one?

Hipp is probably one of the better engineering leaders out there. His point of view carries weight because of who he is, but should be evaluated on its merits. If Microsoft got rid of this crap 30 years ago, when it was equally obsolete, we wouldn’t be having this conversation; if nobody does, our grandchildren will.

In a way, our current system has similar kinds of incentives as Communism. The core incentive is to avoid suffering. There is no upside, only downside protection.

The secondary incentive is usually to sabotage every aspect of the work that the boss isn't paying attention to because 'hidden dirt' is the only way for an employee to gain leverage over their employer.

Unlike in communism, labor is not associated with any higher social ideals. There is literally zero reason for anyone to do things right.

This is why we have enshitification. The system needs goodwill in order to function well. Without goodwill, we get piles upon piles of hidden dirt which accumulate. We end up with products and experiences which seem great superficially, but only so long as you don't do anything unexpected like peeking under the carpet.

Yes, well not so much a constant value. He added an unbound variable and it was enough to alter the search. Indeed it's still more or a trick, but it got me interested if there were other more fundamental ideas beyond that.
There’s thousands of companies you can hop between, but there’s only a single military. They need to have good career progression.
The military's difficulties with the hacker mindset and common neurodiverse mindsets goes deeper than "culture". The military wants/needs to be able to give orders and expect them to be followed. An _active rejection_ of orders, conformity, standardisation, and externally-driven imposed change are all very common within those communities at a level that is closer to biology than culture; it's not something that could straightforwardly be coached out of either side.

To be a comfortable place for a lot of us to work, the military would need to understand that "because I felt like it" is both a complete explanation and a valid justification for either a 100,000 line software project or a two day nap.
They're supposed to be separate Nations. State government even invade these supposed sovereign Nations enforce their own laws on them. California had a ban on slot machines in went into the reservations and remove the slot machines from them because it was against California law.

There's thousands of contracts (treaties) that have been broken and voided by the courts as being essentially too old or unenforceable in a modern era because of other other issues such as local populations.

They can't make their own property laws. They're not allowed to own the land and it must be put to trust for the entire tribe that way they can't use it for anything like loan collateral they can't sell it to somebody they can't start businesses easily since that form a collateral isn't available to them. The bureau of Indian affairs forces various Federal regulations on them they shouldn't have to oblige.

The federal government basically tells them what their culture is and often groups fighting to defend those imposed laws are pure whites who have no idea what they are talking about and will not let them improve and advance at all because they have this romantic notion of what it means to be an American Indian I want them still living in hide huts so they can go visit them like a zoo. I shouldn't have to bring up brave New world for this.

Look at the big kerfuffle over the Seminole mascot at the University of Florida. There are many from the tribe that actually liked it because it brought recognition to the tribe but a bunch of do-gooders came in and made a big deal about it even though they had no connection to the tribe. It should have been something for them to discuss and not have to worry about anybody else coming in and trying to force their opinion.

It wasn't too long ago that the trail of tears and forced relocation was the policy we even have the $20 bill with the guy who did that.

You need to rethink what it means to be a sovereign Nation. If the EU came in and took over the US basically said it's for your own good what would you think?
None of those bots ever made it out of the lab or controlled stage presences. They were never pointless. They gave up for the same reason many people gave up on AI multiple times over the last 70 years. The compute wasn't there and the techniques were too manual. They were literally the meme of the miner giving up just before he strikes a diamond. Honda retired Asimo in 2017, the same year Google published "Attention Is All You Need".
> Barring a major engineering challenge in in-orbit propellant transfer

We already have that challenge. Last I checked, SpaceX was claiming it would take five Starship launches to store enough fuel in the depot to perform one lunar mission (which is innately strange considering Apollo did it in one launch on a less powerful rocket, but that's not even the point here). But according to NASA, SpaceX has failed to adequately account for cryogenic boil-off in their plans, meaning that they expect it will take about twenty Starship launches per lunar mission. That's not exactly inspiring, especially given what it implies about the number of launches it would take to get to Mars and back. To solve the cryogenic boil-off issue we might need to switch to different fuels entirely, which would necessitate new engines.
First step to mining a NEO is knowing where they are.
That price would put it in MacBook Pro territory price wise. If they don’t have to cut too much functionality to get to this price point I think it could become a mild success.
Nah Kagi does have a localization problem in general. It's improved but not there yet.

I'm a Kagi user of 2 years and it's actually not the default on my phone. If I'm on my phone, I'm likely using it to search local businesses and nothing can compete with Google's business + review data.
Can you provide a citation for this? I’ve read older RFCs that "recommend" recipients allow single LFs to terminate headers for robustness. I’ve also read newer RFCs that weaken that recommendation and merely say the recipient "MAY" allow single LFs. I’ve never noticed an HTTP RFC say you can send headers without the full CRLF sequence, but maybe I missed something.

I don't get the CSV part. You can emit a new row after a line ending and on EOF with non-empty buffer. What's the tricky part or third option here? The crlf is never a part of the data.
>Very little. Because non-union workers join the union as soon as they see the benefits.

This isn't true and sounds like union propaganda. It's very easy to find non-union trade workers in big cities, even very liberal ones that are supportive of unions.

>As opposed to broken minds by 50 for toxic corporate jobs.

People don't have broken minds from corporate jobs. Physical damage from labor is real and extremely common. Every tradesman 40+ will tell you this. People retiring from corporate jobs do not consistently warn people that your mind will be broken.

>And yet, they can pick and choose their work for the most part. No badging in for 5 day RTO BS.

Are you joking? RTO isn't a thing because the trades were never allowed to work from home in the first place.
>The latter is what typewriters do for the Return key.

Minor correction: mechanical typewriters do not have a Return key, but they have both operations (line feed, as well as carriage return).

The carriage return lever is typically rigged to also do line feed at the same time, by a preset amount of lines (which can be set to 0), or you can push the carriage without engaging line feed.

Technically, the lever would do LF, and pushing on it further would do CR (tensioning the carriage spring).

It is, however, true that most of the time, the users would simply push the lever until it stops without thinking about it, producing CRLF operation —

— and that CR without LF was comparatively rare.

From a pure protocol UX perspective, it would make sense IMO to have a single command for (CR + LF) too, just like the typewriter effectively does it (push the lever here to do both at once).

It seems weird that the protocol is more limited than the mechanical device that it drives, but then again, designers probably weren't involved in deciding on terminal protocol specs.
The Open Genera version for the Alpha is a lot easier to obtain. There's also a bootleg version that ported the Alpha assembly to C. It apparently run on Linux x64 at some point. IIRC, it depends on some removed X11 features, so it may be difficult to run on a current OS.
I've implemented a lot of protocols. Most implementations I've come across for most protocols not strictly standards conformant, for many reasons.

Big ones being:

* The standards are often not detailed enough, or contain enough loose verbage that there are many ways to understand how to implement some part, yet those ways are not interoperable.

* Many protocols allow vendor specifications in such a way that 2 implementations that are 100% compliant won't interoperate.

* Many protocol implementations are interoperable quite well, converging on behavior that isn't specified in any standard (often to the surprise of people who haven't read the relevant standards)

At least this is my experience for ietf rfc standards.
Yes, I was thinking of this. Picturing a bastard child of Haskell and Fortran right now, where the type of a variable is determined again by the first letter of its name.
So the real reason here seems to be that they know candidates with previous federal roles can be picked up for under 120k?
They were but the cost of refurbishment was almost more than just building new boosters. Thats why SLS is currently using Shuttle Derived Boosters but not worrying with reuse.
Plus, their 'evidence' is a leading conversation with an LLM. It's the AI equivalent of a conspiracy nut taking 50 tangentially related articles about Apollo and stitching together a narrative about how the landings were faked.
I haven't played much myself, but VoxeLibre (and Mineclonia) are pretty good Minecraft replicas.

My only complaint is mobile controls. Desktop is decent but the mobile version (off F-droid) leaves much to be desired.
Almost nobody will take that train daily, and it is stupid to think anyone would or should. However it is reasonable to expect the train will be crowded from all the people who take it less often. Companies send their people to other cities often for various business reasons. People take several vacations per year. Nobody is doing this daily - but the sum total of weekly, monthly, yearly, and once in a lifetime trips add up to a lot of people very day.
It is possible to emulate this in Emacs Lisp. I've created a package to that extent, see http://ankarstrom.se/~john/etc/emacs/scroll-without-point.el. (I've made a few changes to it the last couple of weeks that I have yet to upload, though.) I should probably publish it somewhere else eventually, but I've always felt it to be a bit of a hack. Still, I use it and it works well 99% of the time.
Faster convergence for diffusion models
Actually, statements like "it does/n't seem plausible" are the only things we can say about AI risk.

People are deluding themselves when thwy claim they "reason through this" (i.e. objectively). In other words: no one knows what's going to happen; people are just saying what they think.
Restic is awesome for moderate operational scale, but when it's got to backup thousands of storage block devices with arbitrary number of files on them, it just doesn't really work.

Is there anything cool people use for Ceph-RBD backups nowadays?

For now, the only thing in the OSS world that doesn't choke at this scale is Benji, but it looks like it's not really maintained anymore, and I worry it may not support newer Ceph versions.
yeah it does because EMF could take out a lot more than just the drones including airplanes that are flying commercial paths up higher, or cell towers, etc.

It’s essentially a way to give types to “mutable” views into larger data structures.

s - the larger data structure

a - a view value

b - a “update” value

t - the data structure after an update is applied

Of course, everything is still immutable in the same way that cons-ing a value onto a list is immutable.

The change in type between s and t allows you to nest these views, hide information, etc.
I'm in no way trying to contradict your comment that $200k is a lot of money in the United States.

I'm arguing that if you're capable of performing cyberwarfare, $200k is a fairly low salary. The $122k median "cyber security professional" is including a lot of people with CCNAs who configure firewalls for a living.

The arc of history is usually this: minorities are viciously attacked when they still represent some political power and are seen as a threat by the majority, and they are cherished and afforded the rights and considerations you mention when they have almost disappeared and have become a harmless item of nostalgia and exotic charm.

You can see this dynamic play out across all cultures.

EDIT: some wording.
1) legs are heavy
2) empty rockets are stronger in tension than compression

the scale of Superheavy is such that the above two items are making the arms scheme make sense. The number of engines also gives this rocket the ability to hover, which probably makes the scheme easier to pull off.
And that's why you shouldn't rely on Google for anything important. Type-2 diabetes has more to do with insulin resistance than lack of insulin production.

How many of those are Uber specifically with passengers? Why this specific? Because Uber has a ranking system and my gut feels says anything with a ranking system that has tons of feedback weeds out bad drivers.

The other portions of my comments is psychological safety, how many times do individuals get in an Uber and feel unsafe vs being in the TTC?

How many times do individuals take an Uber service, are crammed and with a driver that smells? Even if I got a ride like that I know the market system will remove that driver.

If you told me the TTC required an identification card to enter onto and TTC could suspend/revoke access I'd go back because there would be a regulating system to remove behavior that riders don't want.
Basically because in languages where everything is immutable, 'setting' a value nested in a datastructure is a big hassle. Lenses give you a means to effectively do foo.bar.x = "baz" succinctly (and a few other bits besides).
> They're paid the same rate for govt contracts as everyone else no?

No. Where did you get the idea the government pays the same rate for every contract/contractor?

Defense procurement is notoriously complicated, and there are myriad ways contracts can be structured. There is definitely no single rate.
Yeah.

I don't know off-hand what the rule is for plugin updates, actually; I'd have to look it up.

As far as WordPress itself is concerned, the updater definitely does not auto-push updates to major WP versions by default [0], and they continue to patch older versions for a long time.

But at any rate, whether the plugin updates respect SEMVER or not, Matt/WP.org pushed this bullshit out as the most minor of minor version number changes over the previous ACF version: 6.3.6.2.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/advance... (scroll down to the bottom and you can download the previous version to diff it)

So as far as the poor benighted plugin updater is concerned, it's just a change to the display name, which is inconsequential.

No other car manufacturer has anything close to FSD. Tesla is 1000 miles ahead of their closest competitor on that point. Waymo isn't scalable or practical for the future. No one wants a giant ugly lidar attached to every corner of their vehicle.

The CyberTruck is the highest selling electric truck, so it's not a joke by any means.

Would you listen to yourself nitpicking at whether or not someone's 8th or 9th company is as impressive as their 3rd or 4th. Who has that kind of record, either present day or any time in history? Edison is about the only name that comes close.
