> America is increasingly becoming a bifurcated, two-tiered society of a specialized government-corporate-media-political-credentialed class of degreed overseers and managers who attempt to micromanage an increasingly less well-educated, dependent underclass.

Fact: people are better educated today. It's more common to have a university degree than half a century ago (yet unlike decades ago, not to have it count for much).

Speaking of which, being Renaissance is a nice hobby, but it doesn't pay. That's why most people specialize.

Some people like specializing. Spheres of human activity and interest are like fractals. When you specialize and zoom in, you see rich details. Look how diverse computing is.

If you are in computing, to an outsider you seem like a "computer specialist", but within that sphere, you could be a generalist with diverse areas of interest.

Probably the best way to explain that to people might be by analogy to doctors. Imagine someone being a brain surgeon also interested in the heart, kidneys and urinary tract, nose-throat-ears, ... that's a Renaissance Doc.

Some people have one hobby different from their job, maybe two. They specialize off duty, so to speak. They pursue that hobby or two and are good at then, and don't want to take on more at the expense of neglecting what they are good at.

This Musk adulation really takes away from the article. Musk took over Twitter so that he could control tweets that were critical of him, and amplify his own tweets. He knew he would lose billions of dollars in doing so by devaluing the platform, but it was worth it in his eyes.
The Sears homes were excellent values driven to a great extent by economies of scale/industrial manufacture.

Also, wood was much cheaper then, even though it was much better quality than is generally available now:

The engine load is probably a steady, consistent magnitude. While a landing load is rapid and variable. Also, you need to design legs for wind loading after landing, which can be high if you want to launch often.
Are we trying to reinvent web development? Last few years have been wild. We abandoned HTML CSS and JS websites that used to work just fine and ran after frontend component frameworks and now the circle is getting completed by building tools and extensions we had 20 yrs ago

How do you read that from my comment? This thread is full of speculative conspiracy theories because TikTok is Chinese owned. Almost all social media site have a content-creator monetization platform. Facebook has had it since 2017. X does. YouTube does. You think Instagram doesn't have a CSAM problem?

This is about a long history of the west attributing secret conspiracies to Asian people. We acknowledge this when it's about things like Cholera conspiracies in the 1800s but somehow cannot see it when it happens in our own time.

Social Media is inherently exploitative regardless of the nationality doing it. This problem is not platform exclusive and pretending like it is makes solving it impossible just like how the Chinese exclusion act didn't cure Cholera. (https://www.foundsf.org/index.php?title=Chinese_as_Medical_S...)

I’m kind of, by default, against meaningless animation, but your reveals and the fiery ones on the Pricing page are awesome. The plans are also generous and made for someone or a small team who needs the features but is not ready to start using all the resources, right away.

Best of Luck. Looking good so far from the first browse and scroll-around.
Because it's Elon who said "ok, build it." There's no one else except him with that power and/or the guts. Even landing a rocket the government had given up on, and no company was even trying until he did. People were calling the 'chopstick' landing system a dumb idea until today.

It's not like engineers don't come up with wild ideas all the time to their leadership, but is the leadership good enough to understand the good ideas from bad ones? Take the risk, spend billions to actually execute?

Elon has enough of a physics/engineering background to ask the right questions, understand the trades engineers put in front of him, and make the risk/reward calculation to make the right decisions the ends up winning.

To get what SpaceX has you need strong technical leadership all the way up the chain. Many companies don't. Their CEOs are experts in legal, PR, finance, etc... They make poor technical decisions.

Some of us have no home, and seem doomed to wander the planet forever. Everywhere has good points and bad points, and the grass is always greener elsewhere. In Berlin, we [0] missed the beach. In Australia, we missed the nightlife. In SE Asia we didn't like being "Farangs" (foreigners, assumed rich). In Mexico we missed SE Asia (for multiple reasons).

Being able to work (globally) remotely is a blessing and a curse, because we can indulge this wanderlust. Committing to a single place and just putting up with the less-great points would be great, but every time we've tried we end up moving on after a couple of years.

We have friends all over the world now, which is kinda cool but no substitute for having friends in the same place as us. But neither of us kept any friends from our childhood and once you get past your 20's you don't make those kind of ultra-long-term friends any more.

So yeah, my advice: if you can settle somewhere, do it while you're young and preferably still at uni/college/school where you can make long-term friends. OR accept that you have no home and deal with the consequences: an adventurous life with very little community around you.

The Army Corps of Engineers has a really bad rep here in Louisiana even after almost two decades of Katrina being over because of their colossal fuck ups which caused all of our damage.

> After the storm, multiple investigations concluded that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which had designed and built the region's levees decades earlier, was responsible for the failure of the flood-control systems. However, federal courts later ruled that the Corps could not be held financially liable due to sovereign immunity in the Flood Control Act of 1928.

and

>A June 2007 report released by the American Society of Civil Engineers determined that the failures of the levees and flood walls in New Orleans were found to be primarily the result of system design and construction flaws.[41] The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had been federally mandated in the Flood Control Act of 1965 with responsibility for the conception, design, and construction of the region's flood-control system. All of the major studies in the aftermath of Katrina concluded that the USACE was responsible for the failure of the levees. This was primarily attributed to a decision to use shorter steel sheet pilings during construction in an effort to save money.

They skimped out to save money and ended up killing 1300+ people, destroying hundreds of thousands of peoples lives, and causing hundreds of billions $$ in damages.

Fuck the Army Corps of Engineers.

Chinese startups have historically been the only ones to be able to move as fast as Musk. One very underrated ability of Tesla is they can develop new products in 2-3 years from conception to market. The only other car companies to do it at scale is BYD, Nio and Xpeng. The company he is talking about is probably LandSpace. They got from conception to hop test in what seems to be 5, maybe 4 years. SpaceX took 7.
> It's index format seems to be slow and terrible and the chunking algorithm it uses (rabin fingerprints) is very slow compared to more recent alternatives (like FastCDC).

Hi, can you elaborate more on those two points? (Specially, what makes the index format so bad?) Or link to somewhere I can learn more
Yes but like I said the comparison is totally flawed since you counted all costs for Amtrak but only a subset of costs for car traffic.

If you are convinced roads+cars is an order of magnitude more efficient than rail, maybe you can explain what you think is the cause of that difference. Does rail require more land? Does it require more maintenance hours? Does it require more expensive materials? Does it require higher insurance fees? What's the reason?
Your assumption is the worst case. Best case is it does the things it do "good enough".
> And you can be certainly be Jewish without having Jewish DNA, but there’s some controversy as to whether the reverse is true.

What's the controversy? Biologically there's no such thing as "Jewish DNA". It's just a shorthand for "Human DNA haplotypes (AKA markers) that occur at significant frequencies among populations that identify today as Jewish".

For example, the YDNA haplotype J1, while it occurs at high frequency among Jewish populations, occurs at even higher frequencies among many non-Jewish groups in the Middle East and surrounding areas[1]. It's only somewhat distinctively "Jewish" in areas where Jewish people are a minority like Europe.

Furthermore, the emergence date of this haplotype 17-24k years ago predates the existence of the ethno/religious/cultural identity known as "Jewish" by almost 20,000 years.

Therefore the reverse/opposite of the statement, something like "you can have Jewish DNA and not be Jewish" is either trivially true or nonsensical.

Yeah and same with portable video game consoles, which of course smart phones are too.
If it doesn’t vibrate that’s a real shame. Ideally I would want it to vibrate as well as be able to detect gestures. That would be such a killer combo for so many things from golf training to turning on the mood lighting with a swish of your hand.
But it's via the messaging component of a social media site, which is fine by itself. Nice how FB Messenger is its own app.

You are not logic-ing correctly. The financiers were Jewish. Jews do not charge interest to other Jews; if Columbus were not Jewish they would have charged interest. This is written in Deuteronomy 23:20-21 as well as Leviticus and Exodus and also discussed by Maimonides
The semantic distinction is relevant because Reconquista, with the capital R and everything, is an ideological, propagandistic narrative by the Spanish (central government) originating in the 20th century.
You could try running rustic on your repository. It should be a drop-in for restic and maybe it's faster? I would actually be very interested in this. Would be great if you could do that and report back.
I would appreciate you if you supported Dzongkha as well!
The nice thing about fuel launches though is that the cargo isn't valuable.

You're not launching exquisite rovers or satellites -- you're launching a bunch of fuel.

So if a reused Starship blows up on accent*, that's not great, but it's not terrible either. Load the next one and try again.

* Obviously, you want to be much more careful on rendezvous
Oh Ubisoft provided some datasets publically. That's very nice of them.

>All of these datasets are NOT licensed for commercial use. They are for research use only.

I mean, I knew this already when I looked at the license (a thing any commercially-oriented dev should do on any repo) and saw CC-4 (non-derivative, non-commercial). But it's still sad that this somewhat repeats the very mantra said a few sections up:

>Almost all games and VFX companies don't share their data with the academic world (with the exception of Ubisoft who have released some very high quality animation datasets), so how can we penalize academics for not reaching a bar they don't even know exists?

But alas, This is one barrier that separates an Indie and even some AA games from a AAA game. At least the article gave tips on what to look out for if trying to prepare your own animation dataset.
What originally set social media apart from forums was that you interact with people you sorta know. Social media apps later drifted to something else, but they still aren't forums. HN is a forum.
> PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Defendants hereby respectfully object to the Case Management Order, Notice of Time and Place of Trial and Trial Related Orders dated May 23, 2024. Since the filing of Defendants’ Case Management Conference Statement on May 21, 2024, Mira Hashmall, lead counsel for Defendants, has had a 5-7 day trial scheduled with a start date of March 17, 2025. With the trial in this matter starting on March 10, 2025, and trial in Case No. CGC-22-600095 starting on March 24, 2025, that would be three back-to-back trials and potential overlap amongst them.

"three back-to-back trials"? Is there more?
I have queried gemini about a specific issue and when it failed to give a decent answer I narrowed down the issue with hints about the answer, it responded with details from an old post by me on reddit.
I see I accidentally came off implying that I'm disaffected and take no sides - most of the time, right wing politics seems abhorrent to me. Those are the main things I remember because left-wing spaces tend to hate him, and I dislike him because of those things, but no more than CEOs of companies like Nestle, which has engaged in things like slavery and child trafficking.

> because someone with an immigrant background killed a bunch of kids at a Taylor Swift concert and police were withholding the identity.

It might be somewhat justified if they burnt the house down of the murderer, or those who assisted him. They didn't - they burnt down houses, shops, and mosques, because they wrongly assumed the guy was Muslim and decided that was just cause to target any Muslim. His identity was hidden because he was a minor at the time of the attack.

One thing that I like about Restic is that you can automatically do a test restore of a subset (e.g. 1%, 5%, 8%) of your data, so that you can check for problems on the remote automatically.
From operating drones in the field I noticed that it is needed to keep an eye on the vehicle, but also on the ground control station. I ideally keep my hands on the joystick in case I need to take over control from the computer.

Everything is automated, but supervision is needed and I need to be on the ready in the event of an emergency.

I was thinking about those VR raybans that would provide an overlay HUD. Combined with voice commands that could be quite something.

Essentially you are working on improving the UI side of drones, exploring different ways to interact with the drone. You have probably seen QGroundControl, Mission Planner and some of the proprietary apps. Essentially all these features could in theory be voice controlled.

I have personally never used voice assistance so I cannot comment what that would be like to use. The only thing I noticed in field work is that you need 8 hands and 8 eyes essentially, so voice UI could help there.
Newer studies [0] show us that

a) p-hacking is still alive and well in the psychological community.

b) p-curves are not sufficient for detecting this.

That isn't a lack of proper design. It's a case of statistics being abused to show significance when there is none.

Deserve is an interesting phrase, who really does deserve more? The more you go down that rabbit hole the less you'll think people deserve in general.

I literally just stumbled upon the designer and he posted a tutorial on the fiery pricing bento boxes: https://x.com/alex_barashkov/status/1841493887359066421

The pricing is very interesting. The company I work for pays $20k for Jira & Confluence and $20k for Slack every year. And this platform claims I can replace both of them for $3600/year? and it's open source? The marketing looks great, so I hope the platform is actually a good competitor. I'd be so curious to see what their revenue is every year.
PEDANTIC - max efficiency isn't necessarily tuned to max thrust.
The general category of "project management software" is obviously a very crowded one. But it's a space where I'm always genuinely excited to see an even-slightly-new take; I think anybody who's worked in a modern workplace would agree that this is very much not a solved problem, and the returns on even small improvements are so huge.

Best of luck to Huly, this seems pretty cool. I've never gone all-in on a fully-integrated stack like this (issue tracking + docs + chat + calls), but it seems like in an ideal world, that's what you would want? Huge integration with O365 seems like the one thing people do actually like about MS Teams, for example.

Also, I'm a sucker for cool laser animations, so I'm saving the home + pricing pages to an inspiration folder for sure.
Do remember though that this does not include land, heavy building materials like bricks, or labor. It is cheaper than a house is now, but not by as much as it may originally seem.

Not for an adult audience. It seems to me that we have way too many books (check the selection at an average large book store), so it is hard for your book to stand out. Additionally, physical books are becoming less popular. It seems simpler to build an audience using a different medium (like blogging/twitter) and then convert that content into a book afterwards.

I do want to write a children's book. Physical kids' books are still going strong. But I expect it would be a financial loss.

This is begging the question.

You're arguing that nothing was reconquered and the term is pure propaganda because the state didn't exist pre-Muslim conquest. Now you're using your conclusion (the term is pure propaganda) to explain why the lack of a pre-Islam state is relevant. You're arguing in circles.

You have yet to provide any evidence that the term originated as early modern propaganda, you've just asserted that it must have on the grounds that the state didn't exist before (which as OP says is unconvincing reasoning).

If you were saying that it was 15th century propaganda I'd have a much easier time swallowing it, but you're trying to insist it's a modern construct and that's a tough sell. We're talking about a time period overlapping with literal crusades. It's not a stretch to think that the Christian kingdoms (yes, plural) saw themselves as reclaiming the peninsula for Christendom.
I've read different versions of that argument and it essentially boils down to saying that the Reconquista did not exist because there wasn't one single political entity implementing one single military plan over seven centuries.

This obscures the fact that there was ample religious, social, linguistic, and even legal (Liber Iudiciorum) continuity since Late Antiquity.
These kinds of homes still exist [1]. How it would work (and still does) is you buy the materials and plans from them, they deliver it, and you have to build it yourself.

Elon is the guy who said, "that is the craziest idea I've ever heard, here's billions, let's build it"

It's 100% Musk that this happened, literally no one else would have done it. Everyone thought it was dumb until today. No company, no government or sci fi movie for that matter had even thought of it in the first place.

SpaceX engineers given the green light by Musk, not NASA, made it a reality. That's not to say Elon didn't make many decisions along the way in the design and development of both Starship, the launch towers and everything else.

The point is, Elon deserves a hell of a lot of credit along with everyone else. Everyone has their part to play in the success of the mission.
