I'm expecting that SpaceX will have lots of towers, not just one (currently) or 3 or 4 (under way). It won't just be for redundancy. The duty cycle of a tower might simply not allow for the cadence that SpaceX wants to maintain. With Falcon 9 they currently have a 3x weekly launch cadence (which is unbelievable enough). With full reusability they might be able to get to daily and better cadence, so if the duty cycle of one tower does not support that (I assume right now it does not) then they'll need more towers.
Yeah you can I even have an es5 distribution in the dist folder. Just a word of warning the api key will allow people to submit metrics so you will run into the issue that GA4 has with spoofers.
The catch looks amazing, but one thing I don't understand is why SpaceX needs the technology to catch a booster they've already demonstrated the ability to land boosters on barges. Is the arm more cost effective to scale compared to a barge?

Libraries are possible because they're discriminating. You can't catalog and organize _everything_. This is the flaw in the Google model. It was easier to ignore when very little of the "world's information" actually existed on the internet.

Now that even a tiny additional fraction of that information, along with the obvious desire to manipulate and control some of it, has arrived this model completely falls apart.

It was doomed from the start, and there was never any connection between organization information, and actually solving real world problems. No surprise the world is in worse shape than it was before and Google has a bunch of money it has no idea how to actually spend on the core problem.
I use Bing everyday, via Ecosia. It's is amazing how far Bing has come. Overall I'd say that Bing is the better search engine today. The only consistent fail for me is when I forget the address of "The True Size Of" website (www.thetruesize.com), Bing refuses to find that URL, while it's the first result on Google. Other than that, Bing will find anything that Google does.

The argument is that you don't need to spend the vehicle mass on legs, so you get performance.

On the other hand, I imagine you could wipe out any benefits to $/mass launched pretty quickly by blowing up the tower.
Yes, if you put two (or three, or countably many) countable sets together, you obtain a set that is also countable. The problem is, we want to explicitly describe a bijection between the combined set and the natural numbers, so that each element is visited at some time. Constructing such a bijection between the natural numbers and a countably-infinite tree is perfectly possible, but it's less trivial than just DFS or BFS.

If we're throwing around Wikipedia articles, I'd suggest a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_type. Even if your set is countable, it's possible to iterate through its elements so that some are never reached, not after any length of time.

For instance, suppose I say, "I'm going to search through all positive odd numbers in order, then I'm going to search through all positive even numbers in order." (This has order type ω⋅2.) Then I'll never ever reach the number 2, since I'll be counting through odd numbers forever.

That's why it's important to order the elements in your search strategy so that each one is reached in a finite time. (This corresponds to having order type ω, the order type of the natural numbers.)

> 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.

It's possible that SpaceX programed the AFTS to trigger some time after the rocket touched down in the water. Just to make sure that it completely submerges quickly.

> I can easily imagine that flight 6 will be nominal end to end without any unintended damage.

I think it depends on what you mean by "nominal". SpaceX ultimately wants to catch the 2nd stage as well. I suspect that they are a ways off of that, since it would have to approach over land. The FAA is going to need to have very high confidence that it will do exactly what it's designed to do before they're going to allow that.
Yeah this is true but it's a minority. And some people come from outside the city where it's more understandable.

All of UC's pay is online at https://ucannualwage.ucop.edu/wage/
If you search for administrator (although dean might be a better term?) you will see folks like the head of the Hammer Musuem, which is affiliated with UCLA, makes gross $437K. Her job title is Academic Administrator VII (the highest level in that job type). Similarly, the Dean for UC Extension (basically a night-school for UC) makes a similar salary. Other Academic Administrator VII make "much less"- all the way down to $26K or even $0.

As an anecdote, let me explain how the game is played. I had two different postdoc advisors at Berkeley. Both were tenure-track professors with good publication records. The first one negotiated her own startup package (starting professors get lab money and lab space to get started) and ended up with a small collection of rooms (3) on a crowded floor, with terrible IT infra. She eventually convinced the facilities manager to give her an IT room (nothing quite like watching your advisor waggle her body to get space) and eventually got tenure- 12 years after starting. The second advisor brought a lawyer to his negotiation and secured a full lab space with promises of more, a $1+M startup fund, and a number of other key concessions; he got tenure in 5 more years. The first professor said it was "unseemly" that the second professor had brought a negotiator- but the reality is that the Deans who act as the university representative are quite knowledgeable and seek to bring on faculty for the lowest prices, while paying themselves the excess.
I don't think I've ever seen anything, no matter how bad, go below -5, and most don't go below -1. Once a question is downvoted:

- it's less likely that the question even gets shown

- it's less likely that people will even click on it

- it's less likely that people who think it's bad will bother to vote on it, since the votes are already doing the right thing

- if it's really bad, it will be marked for deletion before it gets that many downvotes anyway

SO has its problems but I don't even recognize half the things people complain about.
The landing legs are heavy. SpaceX would rather have more payload than carry legs to space on every launch.

Also landing on the launch pad means you don’t have to transport the rocket. Just have the arms set it down and you’re ready to launch again.
> but, as far as I know, this is always done at the pixel level

Image models are NOT denoised at the pixel level - diffusion happens in latent space. This was one of the big breakthroughs that made all of this work well.

There's a model for encoding/decoding between pixels and latent space. Latent space is able to encode whatever concepts it needs in whichever of its dimensions it needs, and is generally lower dimensional than pixel space. So we get a noisy latent space, denoise it using the diffusion model, then use the other model (variational autoencoder) to decode into pixel space.
Even with just regular git on the command line, there is an option for word-wise diffing, and hacky ways to get character-wise diffing.

>"Open" here was a popular term back in the day and bunch of companies used it .. sorta like AI, LLM, and blockchain.

nah. what you are describing is Open in the present day, like OpenAI.

back in the day it meant "open standards, allowing cooperation between secretive competitors". IBM and Digital could both implement to an open standard instead of their traditional proprietary so their devices would interoperate.

This type of openness is what Microsoft liked to "embrace, extend, extinguish", meaning "we'll get kudos joining the interoperating consortium, we'll look cutting edge by adding features which would make us not actually interoperate but are useful so people will adopt them, then we will have killed off this threat to our monopoly"

in that same period of time, open source started to be called that because what was open was the source.

Yeah, this is soo cool! The Starship is just incredible. It weighs about 5,000 metric tons when it’s fully fueled—that’s like 11 million pounds! And it’s huge, around 120 meters tall with the Super Heavy booster. Can’t wait to see what they do next!
From an engineering perspective, a single bacterium is a state of the art self contained factory. It has thousands or even ten of thousands of feeback circuits each with multiple interweaving depdendencies that somehow works perfectly to adjust inputs/outputs on the fly at extreme efficiency.

Even with all of our technological achievements, we can barely build something at this level of complexity. And to make it so cheaply and quickly? Pure science fiction. Yet scoop up a handful of dirt or pour a glass of water and you can get billions of these sophisticated machines in your hand.

Earth and its biosphere is a marvel of technology. Shame we don't seem to appreciate it enough.

While I have not tried using Kagi for an extend period of time, and initially having some reservation, due to them using Google as a search provide, I've started to warm up to the idea.

I do have a question regarding the blacklisting, don't you end up having hundreds or even thousands of blacklisted domains? For YouTube I've lost count of the number of channels I asked YouTube to never recommend. It must be way past 200 by now.
It's hard to request for Google to be a strong enforcer while also investigating them for monopoly.

While there is precedent for companies like Google, Microsoft, and Cloudflare, to have strong compliance with for example international sanctions, having a Search Engine cripple major publications regularly would be an escalation in my view.
I dunno, the best devs I know get bored but spend that in thinking a lot about how to make things simpler and with less. It's equally as challenging as over-engineering if not more so.
Super heavy probably makes certain aspects (unrelated to the tower catching the booster) of landing much easier, by virtue of its greater mass. Timing with the Falcon 9 was always essential, because the minimum thrust (with one motor, throttled all the way back) of one of the engines was enough that if you left the motor running, the booster would start to rise. Time the beginning of the final burn incorrectly and you had a real problem, with the booster either crashing or rising at the end and... then crashing, but with Super Heavy, it might simply be a matter of having to compute a slightly different sequence for shutting off the engines.

They sure made it look easy...
Every time I hear people complain about this, I recommend Kagi [1]. (I use their Quick Answer feature almost by default.)

If friends complain about that and how growth-first culture ruins good products, I buy them their first month--Kagi seems to epitomise finding a niche and serving it excellently. If you're technologically-savvy, don't like your time wasted and are willing (and able) to pay for search, you should try it out. (It's not surprising that they're a bit of a meme here on HN.)

That's hilarious because Matt and Automattic actually invested in WP Engine, supported them in many ways ever since their inception and helped them be more successful and reach this level.

Your entire argument about "jealous of success" falls apart if you look only few months back. He wanted them to succeed for years and years, even after private equity, he still saw them as partners.
Getting the balance between security and usability right is tricky. It doesn’t make sense to have to click yes to trust software when you run it a hundred times a week, pretty quickly you are just clicking and not actually considering the risk. At the same time, for an airgapped systems where updates are rarely installed and the impact is much higher it makes sense to only allow whitelisted software and prompt each time
Understood. Generally, I'm a fan of all types of media, basically everything you mentioned -except- computers/internet. Perhaps a couple smart thin clients for wiki and such? But the process of removing books to add computers specifically is what irks me I guess.

Maybe it's just its ephemeral nature. In 1000 years if someone came across an old library they could see and learn so much. Not so much if it's just a pile of computers that don't work anymore.
I personally think that if you aren't employable you should probably try to explore more to find a good arm to begin to exploit (supposing you are young with long-range T and are able to take advantage of learning opportunities once given them). There's usually a lot of variance in life's arms, so it's good to try as long as exploring doesn't ruin your other possibilities (or you have other responsibilities). Otherwise, you would be stuck exploiting an overall not-so-beneficial arm.

Methane has 28% more energy per kg than kerosene and also produces slightly less CO2 (2.75kg CO2/kg burned vs 3.00 for kerosene) when burned [1]. SpaceX uses a 78:22 LOX to CH4 ratio, so for 34M kg of fuel burned, 20.57M kg of CO2 are produced (34×0.22×2.75).

I'm a restic user, but have resisted the urge to attempt a bikeshed for a long time, mostly due to perf. 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). Drives me nuts to watch it chugging along backing up or listing snapshots at nowhere close to the IO rate of the system while still making the fans run. Despite that it still seems to be the best free software option around

This booster is much, much larger than the Falcon 9 first stages that land on barges. It's ~70 metres high, versus ~40 metres for the Falcon 9 first stage, and weighs about 275 000 kg compared to the ~20 000 kg of the Falcon 9 first stage.

In short, it would require such huge and heavy landing legs and landing barges that it probably wouldn't be feasible.
The rambling aside:

> The staff and management don't really expect a murder to happen at a train station.

The staff doesn't. Management has to expect major incidents and plan for them accordingly, and have those plans ready to go, and train staff how to react to them.

It could just as well have been a malfunction that leaves all trains stranded and the station unable to function. Their response would have been the same: we don't know, you're on your own.
I imagine that they will be their own first customer - putting Starlink satellites into orbit while they are gaining confidence in the reliability of the system for external customers.

They have to prove out the landing of the second stage, either with another catch or with landing gear, which they need for the lunar lander anyway.
Rustic was started by a former restic contributor. My impression at the time was that he was frustrated with poor collaboration from restic maintainers (slow/no response to his PRs). So it's a bit more than just "rewrite-it-in-rust".

Many of his rejected/ignored restic PRs ended up being features in rustic: cold storage support, config file support, resumable operations, webdav server, etc.
It's vastly more likely that it was a classified US military-intelligence operation/test than a foreign actor operating freely in deepest CIA territory.

But threat inflation = bigger budgets.
The shuttle wasn't fully reusable, just for starters. The boosters were reusable with a lot of refurbishment work. The center tank was expended every time. It was very expensive. Only five shuttles were ever made, which means that no effort was put into automation of production of engines etc., everything was custom, and everything required great care to save the sunk costs.

A London monthly travel card is £235 from zone 4 and £300 from zone 6. That's 420 to 540 CAD, and you get the pleasure of sweating in the tunnels, freezing on the overground platforms waiting for the next train 30 minutes and cancellations left right and centre.

At least they've finally got their shit together with mobile coverage.

Of course you get to use the buses too for that, and some of those were run by DB until this year, so it's nice to have been subsiding the the nice German tickets! They sold up to private equity, because of course they did, it's Britain and everything has to be private equity.

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

I've read about this -- decided not to include in the blog because wasn't very easy to analogize to the problem in an especially unique way. Still interesting though!
"as we see in figure 4" is simply incorrect, though; expressions such as "Figure 4" or "3rd Street" are treated as proper names and must be capitalised, as would the non-nominal "third" in "Dritte Straße" if any German-speaking city were to have American-style numbered streets.
Thanks I appreciate the clarification. You're referring to a leaseback, right? From the research I've done, I've mostly seen it happen in the context of real estate, e.g. with Darden when Starboard Value took over [0]. I think the rebuttals to management on slide 38.

What I wonder about this is in cases where the real estate is spun off into a REIT, does the original company keep shares in the REIT, or are transactions like this purely for one-time raising capital?
