Yeah, I've also seen that in the latex forums, Emacs is strangely popular.
I don't think that there's someone that doesn't have at least one complaint about latex. But probably there are a lot of people that try to understand its flaws and start to love it or something after using it for dozen of years, and don't want to spend the time to switch.

All we can say is under $1,000/kg. Which is conservative, that limit being about two thirds that of Falcon Heavy’s theoretical cost to LEO in a reüsable configuration.

What do you mean exactly? Say, the notion of karma in Eastern religions is a way to explain at least some amount of what is commonly dubbed "luck".

But from the perspective of someone ignorant of karmic ties, can't it only be considered luck/random? Furthermore, isn't more genuine luck/randomness (free-will?) causing such initial ties?

It’s arguable that $100 per ton is a real carbon price.

It translates to about $1 a gallon tax on gasoline which is (a) not enough to change people’s behavior (at its peak gas was almost $2 more than it is now and I drove just the same) but (b) people in 2024 will complain bitterly about it anyway. That is, polities are hypersensitized to that sort of imposed solution right now: for a long time people in the US accepted fluctuations in the gas price because it was seen as a market price so we only had riots whenever a black person was shot by the cops; in “normal” countries (including France and Egypt) you have riots when the price of petroleum goes up because it is seen as being controlled by the state. I think the US has gotten more “normal” post COVID-19 and with GHG controls on the horizon. $1 a gallon is not quite going to make EVs beat gas but it certainly happens at a price below $500 a tonne.

Favorable CCS from industrial sources is quoted around $100 a tonne but that is (c) from a plant that runs 24-7 (e.g. if your natural gas plant runs 20% of the time the capital cost of CCS is multiplied 5x at least disregarding that the plant might not run well when it is starting up and shutting down) and (d) has few realizations.

The biggest positive externality of rail is suppressed traffic congestion, it is a big quality of life thing if you can avoid sitting in a traffic jam. (Reminds me of posters I saw in Germany that said Zukunft onhe Stau)

I find rail tourism to be luxurious compared to motortourism in that one gets to the center of town and doesn’t need to stress about parking, traffic and all that. Contrast that to the fight to refuel your rental car at the airport.

This is every site generator, templating system, or CMS I've ever used. Do you know why Drupal can't get people off of version 7, even though versions 8, 9, 10 have come and gone? Because too much stuff is different and the project didn't provide any easy migration path. Too much churn will kill your project. Even if the changes are theoretically or technically improvements, users will refuse to adopt them, and those who went through it will never consider using your software again. I know that Drupal is on my permanent "never touch this" list and I used to be a pretty happy user and even something of an evangelist for it.

Didn’t they look at all kinds of ideas earlier like squirting some propellant or water out over the skin on the way down, and wasn’t steel chosen for its thermal robustness? Did they get into the problem and realize it’s a lot harder and abandon those things for tiles?

Maybe they will have to sacrifice more payload mass for active or passive shielding or more fuel for powered deceleration. That would yield a less impressive lifter but with full reusability.
People are complex. This is nuance.

There should be nothing wrong with recognizing that any individual is a mix of things you're going to like and things you're not. That could be judged all the way to a mix of things which are morally correct, amoral, or immoral... but the reality is probably a mix.

It should be OK to praise the guy for those good traits and in turn to criticize the guy for what he does wrong: both in turn calling out the specific actions and less "the person". Its rare that demonizing someone is really appropriate or anything other than self-serving and we should see those that make that effort in that light.

Solving the Navier-Stokes equations numerically in 3D is very time-consuming, even on HPC clusters, not to mention the additional modeling required for multiphase flows. Your answer implies that the solutions are obtained almost instantaneously, which is not the case.

IO has a very different cost than wasting CPU cycles, so shouldn’t necessarily be lumped together when analyzing tradeoffs.

Your point still stands that fundamentally changing the design of code should limited to the hottest parts.

Probably the biggest risk to this style map/reduce code is that you end up having IO deeply nested running synchronously versus grouping operations that can be run in parallel.

Technically I guess one could do a stable diffusion-like model except on voxels, where instead of pixel intensity values it producing a scalar field which you could turn into geometry using marching cubes or something similar.

Not sure how efficient that would be though, and would only work for assets like teapots and whatnot, not whole game maps say.
> any secret military project is effectively fraud?

No. A project based on bunk science is a fraud.

To be clear, space-based boost interception isn't impossible. You can do it. But in practically every case it's inferior to ground-based systems (with space-based early detection). The only case where it has merit is in containing a specific, small adversary with very few missiles, e.g. North Korea or Iran. But even there, a ground-based solution is superior in stealth, numbers and cost.

Space-based missile intercept is a political project. That doesn't mean it won't be done. But it's not something SpaceX is working on, or would work on without first cashing a substantial cheque.
Sticky goals and reevaluation of tasks is one way to keep the end result on track.

Well that may still continue to happen. The wonderful and competent state of California is literally trying to block SpaceX launches over Musk’s constitutionally protected political speech:

I cannot remember a more explicit case of authoritarian government abuse in a developed nation in recent memory, and it’s especially infuriating given SpaceX and Musk are one of the most important and innovative companies and leaders of all time. No other country would think to look at such accomplishments and try to undermine themselves through petty politics and lawfare.
With that being said, I imagine the quality of the questions have also improved quite a bit. I definitely don’t condone the rude behaviour on SO, but I also understand that the site used to be bombarded constantly with low quality questions that now thankfully LLMs can handle.

That is really absurd! AFAIK, it is not possible to pose a question to a human in C++.

This level of dogmatism
and ignorance of human communication reminds me of a TL I worked with once who believed that their project's C codebase was "self-documenting". They would categorically reject PRs that contained comments, even "why" comments that were legitimately informative. It was a very frustrating experience, but at least I have some anecdotes now that are funny in retrospect.

We are back to square one and what I said originally yes, they don't want to do it because they want full control on your device.

There's no technical reason why Android can't just be another Linux distribution. There's no technical reason why you could not boot into an OS from a usb key on your phone like a normal computer. There's no technical reason why the play services have more rights than the actual owner of the phone. It's all about who controls your device.

Android follows a "look, don't touch" model and will continue to be this way as long as possible on Google's side.

Post Szasz and Reagan we’ve had the policy of deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill. Thus you have a lot of people with schizophrenia who have no insight into their condition who are very hard to manage. Even in a town where services are relatively available there are many people who take years to accept a diagnosis which can get them on disability and receiving permanent help.

Probably the best we can do for these people is get them stabilized on an antipsychotic drug and then get them in the clinic every few months for a depot injection but even that is pretty hard.

The "Stonehenge" reference is likely utilized as an imagery anchor that most people will recognize. Whereas the implication is that it is suspected that the possible structure under discussion and Stonehenge are similar because they both may be intentionally built megalithic structures (generally from the Neolithic).

I think this matches to a parabola that tracks with age. Early on you can't do much because you don't know shit. As you gain wisdom and experience you can influence it significantly but as your age increases it falls off because it is what it is at that point.
The tower is also how they plan to perform maintenance and re-staging for another launch. The tower can place it back on the launch structure or lower it down to the ground if it needs to be transported back to an enclosure for extensive repairs but a lot of work is just done with it at the tower. I imagine the goal is to eventually get to an automated system that catches the booster, inspects it for damage, clears it for relaunch, positions it on the launch structure, grabs another Sharship second stage and stacks it and then refuels the whole system and launches as soon as possible.

php with lambdas eliminates a bunch of the syntax and can let map/reduce style code be colocated while still achieving the functional style benefits.

For that you want tabled Prolog, or in other words Prolog executed by SLG-Resolution. The paradigmatic implementation is XSB Prolog:

The authors claim that LLM are reducing public knowledge sharing and that the effect is not merely displacing duplicate, low-quality, or beginner-level content.

However their claim is weak and the effect is not quite as sensational as they make it sound.

First, they only present Figure 3 and not regression results for their suggested tests of LLMs being substitutes of bad quality posts. In contrast, they report tests for their random qualification by user experience (where someone is experienced if they posted 10 times). Now, why would they omit tests by post quality but show results by a random bucketing of user “experience”?

Second, their own Figure 3 “shows” a change in trends for good and neutral questions. Good questions were downtrending and now they are flat, and neutral questions (arguably the noise) went from an uptrend to flat. Bad question continue to go down, no visible change in the trend. This suggests the opposite, ie that LLMs are in fact substituting bad quality content.

I feel the conclusion needed a stronger statement and research doesn’t reward meticulous but unsurprising results. Hence the sensational title and the somewhat redacted results.
They probably pre solved a bunch of scenarios and interpolate between them known solutions

This was insanely cool to watch. And on the first try!

As a complete lay person with little to no physics knowledge: what stops the use of something dumb like a parachute, or even wings and landing gear, to "land" the booster? I assume it is impractical (since they don't do it), but what are the actual particulars that stop it from working? While super cool to watch, it seems crazy that plucking it out of the air like that is the best way to preserve the booster for reuse.
The way I see it, engineering obedience or coercion is another, much wider skillset, of which engineering attention and interest is only a part. But you gotta start somewhere! :wink: /s

It was useful and not the wild west as long as a very small group of intelligent and highly motivated individuals moderated it. First and foremost Jeff Atwood used to do a lot of moderation himself - not unlike dang on HN.

When that stopped, the site (and to some degree its growing number of sister sites) continued on its ballistic curve, slowly but continuously descending into the abyss.

My primary take away is that we have not found a way to scale moderation. SO was doomed anyway, LLMs have just sped up that process.

To put this in perspective: at 150t/launch, if a launch is $1M, then for the cost of an SLS launch (at least $2B) Starship could launch 300,000 tons, about the mass of three Nimitz-class nuclear aircraft carriers.

Practically in a city like Ithaca NY there are stores like Wal-Mart that have oceans of free parking about a mile from the Ithaca Commons which is a pedestrian mall surrounded by parking meters and concrete corkscrews that cost about $1 an hour. Years ago local shops could stamp your parking ticket and give you a few hour for buying something but the city decided it couldn’t afford it.

That $1 isn’t much, but many believe the Commons can’t compete on that basis and shoppers will avoid the Commons and go to stores on the commercial strip instead, it doesn’t help that the Commons doesn’t have a diversity of shopping, instead it has some gift stores, a legal cannabis dispensary that is just about to reopen after being closed for some reason, numerous head shops, a bookstore, and numerous CBD stores that I think sell real weed in a back room.

So if you wish to restrict the use of the Software "in a business" (or in other endeavours), it won't be considered "open source".

The CC licenses aren't great for software, either, IMO. They're great for things like assets, basically... and that's about it.

That said, there's plenty "code available" licenses you may use. You just can't then call them "open source" since they're not.

Another way to put it: say I provide a patch to that software for you. I release it under the same terms as you provided. If you use it, well... you can't use it in your commercial product... as the license forbids it? ;-)
