None of those questions are relevant are they? I get the impression you've already decided this isnt good enough, which is basically agreeing with everyone else. No one is talking about what it's capable of today. Read the thread again. We're imagining the great probability a few permutations later this thing will basically be The Matrix.
For what it's worth, Zmodem came about 10 years after Xmodem, and HS/Link came about 15 years after Xmodem.
The barrier to having better physics is that better physics requires more complicated netcode.

It is also a long-standing precedent in Minetest that the default game is just a minimal skeleton. "Change the artstyle" is a misguided suggestion because there are very few assets that are part of Minetest and not a 3rd party minetest mod.
1) legs are heavy 2) empty rockets are stronger in tension than compression 3) the booster is large enough to make (1) and (2) matter more than they did for Falcon 9.
Great, but I wish they invested their nomenclature resources into design and ease of access.

https://bloxd.io/ is currently reaping kids who can't afford official Minecraft. (Browser based, free, ad driven)

The words you’re repeating belie the problem.

Journalism was more of a profession, there were editorial best practices and more factual accuracy. TV media was a loss leader. Social media is a dick measuring contest. Popularity correlates with volume, so the incentive is to shout whatever will get a reaction.

So low-information consumers are spinning about how the government is both completely incompetent, yet capable of using some magic to create hurricanes for some reason. That’s a feature of social media.
I'm not sure about the "concrete" part, but the final Essex class carrier, USS Oriskany, was sunk off Florida to form an artificial reef, the first US naval ship for which this was done, just about 20 years ago.

> 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)

Apollo was disposable. Starship is not. Apollo could thus max out payload at launch, which Starship cannot do design or fuel budget wise.

The Apollo paradigm was for literal moon shots. Starship and Artemis are more about building infrastructure.

> 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 is not NASA's position. Folks at NASA and SpaceX disagree around the boil-off rates. Everyone thought about it. We just don't know what it is. We should have a preliminary figure next year, and a final-ish one within two or three years (after the first vehicle's boil-off characteristics are optimized).

But yes. There are major engineering challenges in-orbit propellant transfer could raise that could require going back to the drawing board. Hence why I flagged it. Given that's something humanity has never really done, it seems like a fair risk to take given the upsides.

(Note, too, that in present designs Starship must function as a launch vehicle, spacecraft and fuel tank. That's not required long term. Well-insulated orbiting fuel depots start making sense rather quickly if you have <$1000/kg launch costs.)
Curious about your complex use case of epub.js. What were you trying to do with it?
Isn't BlueOrigin going after at totally different market segment, I thought it was focused on things like space tourism and more "space base" type stuff? Also pretty sure BlueOrigin is almost all funded by Jeff B, SpaceX has a lot of external funding and focused on tangible markets vs just "people will want to do stuff in space" - I think it was only very recently they started to work with NASA.
What the hell, man. How would any entity function if the institutional memory was 5-10 years tops?

I haven't used node in years, so i wonder: What is used instead?
I see, though I do consider that part of YouTube to be a net negative for everyone but Google considering how it's keeping people on the platform, and therefore less likely to look for more varied sources.

But what I meant is that people share links around, whether in public like here, or in one-on-one discussions (and blogs do have their own recommended lists), so it's quite possible that you would still have found out about them without any kind of algorithmic prodding.

For instance, to put this in practice, here's a science education focused personal website that I like a lot :

The first sentence is exactly what LF is in CRLF, and implies the necessity of CR. CR returns the cursor to the first character of the active line, LF moves it one line down without changing the horizontal position.

The second sentence is the UNIX interpretation of LF doing the equivalent of CRLF. But calling it a standard line ending when it's an alternative meaning defined in the standard as "requires agreement between sender and recipient of data" is a bit of a stretch. It's permissible by the standard, but it's not the default as per the standard
The model of PE in dentistry / veterinary clinics is to buy out all the private clinics in a region, then gradually raise prices. Small businesses would pop up, but the training horizon for new dentists / vets is quite long.

It isn't really about economies of scale so much as using local monopolies to set prices. They have a good moat because regulatory bodies have not regulated monopolies for 30 years, and professional organizations limit entry to each field.
Show HN: GitHub App to Streamline Software Delivery
I’ve built Poe, a GitHub app that automates versioning for you, moving from deployments to publishing in different release channels, which you can subscribe to through your CI and deploy to any environment you desire.

I’ve built an experimental UI to collaborate on release notes and configure various settings, leading to a SaaS.

How to use:

1. Install the following GitHub App on a repository.
2. Make a commit on the default branch (main/master), and you will start the release process (tagging the current version, promoting to the next channel, generating the changelog).

The github app:

There’s also the phrasing “compatible with Jewish origin”. That doesn’t mean that he definitively has Jewish DNA either, especially given that there are no specifically Jewish haplogroups. This whole thing seems very premature until autosomal analysis is performed.
I’m really happy that my military is a team of professionals that are there because they want to be.
FWIW - the median is probably not helpful for some of these trades when framed as they are here because it's not a simple salary gradient like you might find with say, l1-l8 software engineer.

For example - master electrician vs journeyman electrician are very different - journeyman require supervision (ie are not allowed to work without it), master's don't.

(I actually wonder if "first line supervisors ..." above includes master electricians, since they are required to supervise journeyman).
Why would you choose a new name that you don't have the .com for?

Unless you can point to where I was attacking ("denouncing", "flaming") someone, you're shouting hot air.

You should not be able to see the Kirkwood gaps if the simulation is accurate; the Wikipedia image is more realistic.

The "gap" only applies to the semi-major axis (which is proportional to the 3/2th power of the period); since most asteroids are somewhat eccentric (and since semi-major axis is relative to the center but orbits are based on a focus, which "moves" rapidly as the circle deforms) there are always asteroids crossing the "gap" between perihelion (far short of the semi-minor axis, even) and aphelion (far beyond the semi-major axis).

I'm too lazy to do the math, but based on planets with similar eccentricity, most asteroids are between 10% and 25% farther at aphelion than at perihelion (or, often between 0.25AU and 0.75AU farther), which easily crosses any single gap, and almost always multiple gaps.

See the images at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_eccentricity for informative images of ellipses.
Animals fly by flapping their wings, hence an airplane is not really flying. It can't even land safely in a tree!

I had the thought of making one for Clojure. I didn’t realize one already existed, so thanks!
Why do we think its Elon 'doing' this? Just curious, since it could just as well be that its the engineers and other leaders who could be the differentiator.
"Upward funargs" is where you return a closure which captures the bindings of your local variables, so it can access arguments from an outer scope which no longer exists. Like this:

scheme@(guile-user)> (define (make-adder x) (lambda (y) (+ x y)))
scheme@(guile-user)> (define x+3 (make-adder 3))
scheme@(guile-user)> (define x+4 (make-adder 4))
scheme@(guile-user)> (x+3 7)
$1 = 10
scheme@(guile-user)> (x+4 8)
$2 = 12

In Scheme those bindings are even mutable:

scheme@(guile-user)> (define (counter n) (lambda () (set! n (1+ n)) n))
scheme@(guile-user)> (define booga (counter 53))
scheme@(guile-user)> (booga)
$3 = 54
scheme@(guile-user)> (booga)
$4 = 55

This makes Scheme closures a fully general substitute for Smalltalk-like objects.

Upward funargs generally require a non-stack-like allocation discipline for the local-variable bindings.

While implicit variable capture like Scheme is the most common way to do closures, it isn't the only way; C++ and old versions of Python (before nested_scopes) have a form of closures where you instead explicitly list the variables you want to capture. Old dynamically-scoped Lisps like Lisp 1.5 had a different solution which I don't understand; see AI memo AIM-199, "The function of FUNCTION in LISP".

Usually dynamic scoping is incompatible with tail-call elimination (except in the special case of tail recursion) because you can't eliminate a tail call if which you have more work to do after it returns; usually popping some variable bindings off a context stack amounts to "more work to do". Maybe your parameter stack has a way for that to happen implicitly, for example by implicitly restoring a parameter-stack offset on function return.

I hope this helps. Keep being awesome!
thankfully elon has hundreds of billions of dollars and presumably will spend most of that sending shit to mars, either before he dies or as part of a trust. most of what we need to send there isn't expensive - electronics and steel and composite materials. the limiting factor isn't going to be the cost of stuff we send there, it's only going to be how many starships we can get flying and how often they fly
To me, it's not risk reduction that they're after with that booster catching mechanism, but weight reduction. Those landing legs that we've seen before (and the mechanism related to them) are costly weight that is absolutely necessary only on the rocket itself, because that is expected to land on its own somewhere on a bare rock. For booster however, it makes sense to have as much of such launch and landing weights externalized, considering booster's reduced use-case of starting from a spaceport and very soon ending up back there too.
I don't think the American military industrial complex needs to resort to goofy tricks like this to get money.
That seems irrelevant when they can have internal employees also filling it under $120k. The real reason are the connections. They want people with a federal background so that they have ties to the federal authorities since the work together on reporting intelligence. It's all about "networking".
It has the same QPS as the C++ version for GIST dataset. While Rust has more SIMD, C++ has const generic. I guess there is still some space for future improvement.
They also get a ton of money from the US DoD.
HTTP is saved here because headers aren't allowed to contain control characters. A server that is strict enough to only recognize CRLF will hopefully also be strict enough to reject requests that contain invalid characters.

Valid point there, for sure. People are so busy arguing over when and whether we'll build something with human-level intelligence, they aren't stopping to ask if something even better is possible.
This is the right answer for this problem. If you're not interested in being a paying workspace customer, get cloud identity free and verify your domain. You can then take over and/or kick out any consumer users in the domain.
Conversos and Moriscos were overrepresented among the early Spanish settlers [0].

Same story in Portuguese territories as well.

An exodus of Sephardim and Muslims was a win-win for the Spanish crown - they'd lose (in their eyes) a potential 5th column in their competition against the Ottoman Empire as well as have manpower to nominally stake their claim in the New World.

It's worth noting that at least 1 Falcon 9 core probably got trashed not from the landing, but from rough seas - so cutting out the ground logistics chain adds resiliency.
Chinese Scientists Report Using Quantum Computer to Hack Encryption
To get an inert object through the atmostphere and do real damage it has to be very large. That's a very inefficient way to use mass that you've boosted to orbit, even if it's relatively cheap to get there. So any weaponary they put up there will likely look fairly conventional. The speed of deployment and difficult of intercept would be the game-changer.
This is a general problem for all (western) governments everywhere, not just the US or the US military.

The thing about contractors is that paying $ x million for a project is "normal", but paying a entry-level software dev twice the salary of e.g. the national police's commander in chief is completely unacceptable. If you do that, people in other branches of government will most definitely strike, and doing it will involve incredible amounts of feather ruffling. It's probably one of the hardest things for a government to do, and it stands against everything governments traditionally stand for.

I don't think democratically-elected governments have a good way out of this problem. Propaganda about "protecting the nation" probably helps somewhat with convincing people to just stomach the lower pay, but that's far from enough.
Thanks for pointing out, this can be optimized by the compiler when enabling opt-level=3
Please provide a reference showing that NASA thinks that Starship will lose 3/4 of the fuel, and there is no way to fix it.
Strange wording of the title, but no real surprise here. This wasn't meant to showcase AI in humanoid robots, but how far along humanoids have come in terms of physical dexterity, IMO.

What we'll see going forward will be similar to the vehicle fleet: the humanoid fleet will be manned by real humans, learning from them for years and gradually taking over various tasks as they become rote. Human controllers will over time be able to handle increasingly more bots simultaneously, until relegated to a purely supervisory role.

Just as with the latest Tesla vehicle update the driver doesn't even need to keep their hand on the wheel anymore, but merely watch the road, and robotaxis with neither steering wheel nor pedals are now feasible.
I find it easier to set DuckDuckGo as my default search engine and use their !bang shortcuts.

I suppose it’s a little less private, sending every search for any search engine through DDG first.

I also can’t customize them, but haven’t needed to yet.
that is a ridiculous amount of weight held by such a small thing
Exactly. It's pointless to argue over whether an aircraft is really capable of flight, when small drones are already capable of outmaneuvering most birds on the birds' own turf.
Pretty much everything in Minetest is a 3rd party mod coded in Lua. It is viable, but you are limited by the netcode and the quality / integration of 3rd party mods.
Ok, so cyber warfare operators make a median of $144k per year. Higher, but $200k is still over one third above that.
Thank you, that's interesting. The classic Lisp machine systems are very compact by modern standards but not 2100 lines compact, although they had about two decades of continuous development to accumulate cruft (and useful features like various network protocols support and sophisticated graphics as well).
As a software engineer who also likes military aircraft, I really enjoyed this article.
Don’t use search engines unless you know what you’re searching. Which means I start with another material first (books, wiki, manual,…) which will give me enough ideas of what I want will be. Starting with a search engine is like searching for a piece of a jigzaw with only the picture on the box, you have to know it’s shape first and where it would go.
"The kind of people that tend to read about tech for fun, and have enough of an opinion on it to post, tend to be lean above average?"

Sure, but they also tend to understand the importance of data and bias. So things like looking at the median instead of making assumptions would be expected more on here than other places.
The Delta-V is comparable since you can aerobrake on mars. It's only the difference between the time.

Earth to moon without Aerobraking is a delta v of around 13k/s, mars is 13.3

"Ever" is a very long time.

Considering how the wasteful cars / trucks / planes are on their way out in a short time frame (decades), while buses / rail / barges are much less so,

I expect that transition to happen naturally as economic pressures make the position favoring the minority able to still afford cars / trucks / planes as less and less politically tenable.
They’re not the same as carrier pigeons. In the WWII Musueum in New Orleans you can see the exhibit about how many British carrier pigeons were sourced from Shahjahanpur, India.
> A little etymological sidenote: Sephardic is just the Hebrew word for Spain, whereas Ashkenaz was one of the great grandsons of Noah associated with eastern and central Europe.

Sephardic comes from the name of the land of Sephard. You are correct that in modern Hebrew this name refers to Spain, however it should be noted that Biblical use of the word did not refer to Spain or the Iberian peninsula. It is a modern (in the Jewish sense, e.g. hundreds of years) idea that the word refers to that area - nobody today knows where the area is that the Bible referred to with that name.

Ashkenaz, the descendant of Noah, was from present-day-Syria. Thus the term Ashkenazi literally means "From the area of present-day Syria" or more concisely "From the Levant".

> However, when you see a Jew with the last name Ashkenazi, it's safe to assume they're Sephardi. Why? Because last names for Jews are a more recent historical development and these Jews immigrated to Sephardic territory hundreds of years ago (before the expulsion talked about in this thread) and have fully assimilated into the Sephardic tradition.

Counter anecdote, none of the people named Ashkenazi that I know are Sephardic. One's family is from Turkey, I'm not sure during which period they immigrated to the holy land. It is possible that they came to Turkey from Spain, though the family today does not consider themselves Sephardic. The IDF chief Gabbi Ashkenazi's father is Syrian I believe.
Took me a second to get what was going on here, but basically the idea is that you middleware might not see `C:D`, but then your application _does_ see `C:D`.

And given your application might assume your middleware does some form of access control (for example, `X-ActualUserForReal` being treated as an internal-only header), you could get around some access control stuff.

Not a bytes-alignment thing but a "header values disagreement" thing.

This is an issue if one part of your stack parses headers differently than another in general though, not limited to newlines.
I grew up playing Halo, and this was purely fiction at that point.
The way the trajectory is designed is that it has to scoot over to the tower at the last second, and it only does that if it's really really sure it can make it, otherwise it crashes off to the side.

Native Americans have significantly more rights than, for instance, Indigenous Australians do.

Federally recognised tribes get to run their own elected governments, police forces, court systems, make their own laws, even exempt themselves from provisions of state law in certain cases. Indigenous Australians don’t get any of that

You are right that there are cases in which states or the federal government infringe tribal sovereignty - but at least they have it to begin with. And attempted infringements don’t always succeed - consider the 2020 US Supreme Court case McGirt v Oklahoma, which found that Oklahoma state courts lack criminal jurisdiction (for “major crimes”, which includes murder, manslaughter, rape, arson and burglary) over Native American defendants in the eastern half of the state, such jurisdiction only being possessed by the tribal and federal governments, not the state of Oklahoma.
Depends on what you need. Forth is great for explorative programming on microcontrollers.
To be fair, idiomatic python code almost never has the constraints that would make a lens useful. Python programmers would just mutate their datastructures, or if they are trying not to mutate the original, copy it and then mutate it, or use a closure to represent the access to the nested structure, something that is about as succinct as representing it via lenses in functional languages. That's why it seems kinda unnecessary as a construct to someone who's only used to thinking about coding that way.

It's a lot less impressive being the second person to fly a plane. Grok was released in November 4, 2023; Llama was released freely in February 2023. They had plenty to build off.

> He’s a twat? What are your credentials?

What credentials would be relevant to determining that?

I credit Musk for a lot of the vision behind SpaceX, but I'm glad he seems a bit distracted from it right now with X etc. It's possible to be both visionary and a twat simultaneously. Howard Hughes serves as a similar example.
