Thanks for the report with success with IPv6 and Starlink. Do you make inbound connections to devices on your LAN? Do they work?

Starlink recently updated their FAQ with more info on addressing: https://www.starlink.com/support/article/1192f3ef-2a17-31d9-...

As for static addresses, it says "a reservation system retains the ... IPv6 prefix even when the system is off or rebooted. However, relocating the Starlink or software updates may change these addresses."

I suspect in practice the IPv6 address will only change if you get moved to a different POP ground station. Some customers never get moved. I've been moved several times because I'm in NorCal and they keep switching me between Seattle and Los Angeles.

Here's some recent discussion of users reporting what they've observed about changing IPv6 addresses: https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/comments/1b6mr4c/how_stati...
> SpaceX determined they didn't need super tight tolerances and called it a day

Yup! This is my conclusion in the article - the landing box for the Super Heavy booster is 5x13x18 meters on each side, with 5-15 degrees of angular tolerance in each of the vehicle axes. So the margins are big enough that you don't need millimeter level precision for the rocket position.
Intrinsic Motivation: A (relatively very) deep dive
Intrinsic motivation is linked to greater wellbeing, greater creativity, greater task persistence, and greater learning.

As far as i'm concerned, the more intrinsically motivated we are in our daily lives, all things being equal, the better those lives are likely to be.

As it turns out, the science on Intrinsic Motivation is far more mature than most people realise. Thousands of studies. Tens of millions of citations. Etc.

I spent a couple months with my head in this literature. Here's a review of everything that i found.
Picture a two curves of technical progress. One is the process toward creating a 'hot' media stimuli so addicting that it shifts your utility function. The other is the route to interstellar travel. Now imagine the relative resources that are being expended to push technology along each curve.
I think it only counts if he can express that he wants you to urinate on the same fire hydrant after he does.

That’s the minimum level of complexity science will accept.

Yup. For any kind of production app with a table that isn't tiny, you should absolutely never do an ORDER BY RANDOM().

You just need to make sure you're running these queries against a database used solely for occasional analytics, where it's no problem to be saturating the disk for two minutes or whatever, because it won't bother anybody else.
Wait you mean the map is not the territory?

Interesting. I still find it to be a net positive, but it is amusing when I ask it about a project and the source cited is a Slack thread I wrote 2 days prior
the first word is recently, with a very large space between the capitalized R and ecently.

So R ecently.

I thought it was going to be about the R programming language and am still upset it wasn't.
> By contrast, normalizing vitamin D levels, eating healthier (more fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, etc), achieving a healthy weight, sleeping better, having less stress, having positive social interactions, and so on all have been shown to boost the immune system and reduce the burden of most infectious disease -- along with reducing the economic burden of many other health issues resulting from "diabesity" and also reducing many costly mental issues like depression.

Those are things everyone should be doing for their general health. Citing general health recommendations for a specific illness would be redundant. In other words, not a conspiracy.

Furthermore, general good health does not prevent someone from catching a virus, nor getting ill from it. Of course it may diminish both the likelihood of catching it and the severity of the resulting illness, but, again, the point of the sentence you quote is that a _specific_ tool for mitigating the scale and severity of a _specific_ contagion from the health care system's perspective is effective.
You're largely correct. Space has become a more important domain which is growing all of the time. There had been a complaint within the USAF hierarchy and in the government as a whole that the USAF had neglected the space mission. It's leadership was overwhelmingly representatives by those from it's fighter wings. Space was a command within the USAF, but was stifled in both budget and representation. The stars finally aligned for it to be broken off. While it still resides within the Department of the Air Force (similar to how the Marines are within the Department of the Navy), it's CO reports directly to the President and they are budgeted separately through Congress.
If you want to land 99.9% of the time, it really is te 99.9% circle you should be looking at...

Or in fact, you need even better than that, since you don't want your whole error budget used up by the GNSS system.
The option to start at a lower wpm or just to play one character a time could be useful for us software engineers who still harbor dreams of learning morse code.

40 wpm is way too much. I just want to practice at one character at a time. Maybe even start with a reduced character set, like Duolingo only teaches you a few foreign language words at a time.
I see quite a lot of technical data. Check their whole site including the documents page and youtube videos. (Also, I know them, they're very legit.) https://www.c-motive.com/about/documents/
I'm considering making homework worth nothing and having their grade be only 2 in-class exams.

When I did A levels and my first undergraduate degree (in the UK) that's how it worked. The only measurements used to calculate my A level grades and degree class were:

- Proctored exams at the end of 2 years of study (the last 2 years of high school)

- Proctored exams at the end of 2 years of study (the last 2 years of university)
Cheating at getting educated is a symptom of deep dysfunction in the system itself.

Clearly, something other than education is going on.

AI isn't going to help if you ask it the wrong questions.
From what I understand this is the primary difference and problem with Falcon 9 vs. Super Heavy.

From the Article:

"Why can't SpaceX do a catch with a Falcon 9?

-It does not have separate landing propellant tanks, so propellant slosh will disturb its trajectory. The Super Heavy booster has dedicated central header tanks for landing propellant, so there should be minimal propellant slosh to disturb the vehicle attitude.

-It lands with a single engine which cannot throttle low enough to hover the vehicle, and as such must perform a “hoverslam” maneuver to bring the vehicle to a stop right on the ground. While the Super Heavy booster must perform most of a hoverslam maneuver to slow down just before coming in to the tower, it can hover for the final fine positioning.

-Because it lands with a single engine, roll control is minimal close to touchdown when the airspeed is low and the grid fins can impart minimal torque, and is limited to its weaker cold-gas thrusters. The Super Heavy booster can control roll with its 3 engines all the way to the ground.

-Falcon 9 has no engine-out capability for landing. SpaceX has not confirmed it for the Super Heavy booster, but I believe one engine out is likely possible (more on this later).

-It is smaller with a lower moment of inertia. Rockets get more stable and easier to control the larger they are, much like it’s easier to balance a broom on your finger than a pencil.

-It is smaller, and so thanks to the cubed-square law has a higher area:mass ratio. This means that it will be more affected by wind gusts that might blow it off course."
Ooof that's an ugly thought. But I think "refuse IPv6 traffic altogether" is not possible for any consumer site. Per the article, there's 40% adoption of IPv6 now and it's only growing. Major parts of the world rely on IPv6 working right. I guess sites could go IPv4-only but given how many other problems there are with IP reputations, that'd be awfully dumb.

But only when operating on fields that are indexed.

If you pull the highest 5 product ID's sorting by product ID, you're right it only reads those 5 entries from disk.

But when you ORDER BY RANDOM(), it's forced to do a full-table scan, because RANDOM() can't be indexed.
The only arguments against abortion are ones of morality. They lean heavily into religion, and when they don't, they focus on "saving lives".

By dismantling the moral perspective as incorrect, because it is, I dismantle the entire anti-choice landscape. Which is really the trouble with moral arguments to begin with.

There CAN be other arguments here. Arguments of personhood. But nobody does those, because those require more thinking. The supreme court certainly didn't. Fetuses aren't considered people, and yet they are granted one (1) right purely to satisfy the anti-choice crowd.
Comcast used to issue me an IPv6 block but silently stopped at some point. Others reported the same problem. Thankfully everything I use still supports IPv4 so I didn't notice until I went looking.

One day it'll be worth my time to figure out the problem, but I predict that day is far in the future.
Carrier landings are accomplished using a combination of indications, and the meatball is only one of three primary tools. If you are not flying an on-speed angle of attack AND lined up on the centerline of the landing area, the meatball position is invalid to a degree proportional to the degree to which those other inputs are off.

The meatball Fresnel lens is canted slightly side-to-side, and only places the hook in the right spot at a given angle of attack. Which is a design compromise necessitated by having to allow multiple types of aircraft with multiple hook-to-eye distances to land on the same aircraft carrier while using a visual input in one location (the cockpit) to properly place a device in another location (the hook point) with high precision.

Source: I've done it.

So just as it is not "very easy" to trap on board the boat with "just" a light signal, I would assume landing a building-sized booster has a similar if not bigger list of potential "gotchas."

The government's interest wouldn't be in the fashion choice. It would be in how the fashion choices are implemented.

A generation or two of skinny people who are skinny because their parents used screening to only have children who have naturally thin body types should be fine from the government's point of view.

A generation or two of skinny people who have naturally average or heavy body types but are skinny because they have eating disorders which result in them eating much less than they need to remain healthy should be of concern to the government. It could cause serious problems for the health care system.
I agree! Now please convince Youtube TV, Hulu, and friends.

I’m a believer that in the fairly distant future, an LLM based OS can replace iOS and Android.

I don’t think it’s Rabbit that will do it though and it’s simply not viable for a while.

> The r1 device and rabbit OS will be officially unveiled on January 9, 2024 in an online launch event on the sidelines of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2024) in Las Vegas.

I think this page is a bit dated. It mentions January 9, 2024 in future tense.

I was initially surprised that Khosla would be giving more funding given their experience over the past year.
> Could you use other real-time distance measurements like laser rangefinding or visual processing? I don’t think so

This is the part I question though. Seems like an org as well motivated as SpaceX could easily solve that if it was necessary.

presumably it has a semantic model of sorts, defining intrinsic relationships between entities (parent-child, composed-of, sibling-of, and so on)

A bit similar how certain joins in SQL can be very straightforward with the "USING" clause, or when it can rely on extra information such as analytic views to derive materialized views (vendor specific)

In Europe, the 2024/2025 vaccine composition guidance[0] recommends excluding B/Yamagata, because it hasn't been detected since 2020 and "no longer seems to pose a threat to public health". That doesn't look like "still there-ish".

Shallow dismissals aside, do you have anything of substance to say? I'd especially like to see your justification for saying "That doesn't make it an application for OOP".
On the one hand, there are some important nuggets in this report. On the other hand, Schiller doesn't seem like an entirely credible witness and his outreach to look for government oversight seems limited to extreme MAGA Republican lawmakers, which is also telling.

That said, I 100% agree that 1) relying on foreign national support staff to support critical USG infrastructure should not be allowed, and 2) all the big tech companies -- including the hyperscalers -- have deals with the PRC via domestic proxy businesses (Tencent, Alicloud, etc) in order to allow them to operate in China. There isn't enough oversight of these contracts, or the terms allowing Chinese hands-on access to the hardware & software stacks.
Very easy compared to all the other hard problems SpaceX has to solve, yes.
"not enough fruits, vegetables which contain ingredients that your body needs to properly function."

Is orange juice a fruit? There, take some of your own medicine lol.

In all seriousness, if you're not convinced ultra processed foods are bad for you as a rule, there's nothing I can do except throw a bunch of studies at you, which I've already argued is insane for such a basic and common sense concept

I know you probably will take great issue with "common sense", but most people I know, don't. That's why it's common lol

And presumably you've already seen lots of these studies so I don't even know why we're arguing something that makes sense and is also backed up by many studies (though a large proportion of these studies are likely to be garbage)
No teacher right now is going to take the time to check that. Most of us are already near a breaking point.
If there are this many workers unhappy and about to quit, I wonder if this is a watershed moment for Amazon as a company and its investors.

AWS is a huge part of their revenue isn't it? This also affects pretty much every tech company since they all use AWS to some extent.

Comparing to total household wealth would be better (about $140T now, about $40T in 2000)
2 years is actually fairly long in the startup world imo, most startups (by %) don't even last that long. The average across the SWE industry (not just startups) was hopping every ~2.5 years a few years ago, and I believe it's worse now. I only start to scrutinize if I see a pattern of several in a row of < 8 months, tbh.

If anything, I tend to judge people a little bit who stay in the same place more than 3-4 years in this industry. Staying somewhere that long you end up with very insular views and limited exposure to new tech and ideas outside of your bubble, and beyond that, I am a bit wary of someone who isn't motivated by the financial incentive of a diagonal upgrade every 2-3 years, or somehow doesn't see that potential. Being able to effectively advocate for yourself and by extension your ideas I see as an essential skill for SWE.

Also, I think failed startup experience is super valuable, perhaps more valuable in some cases than coincidentally riding a unicorn and now falsely believing that every little thing you did along the way (or your cherry-picked list of "favorite" things you did) is actually repeatable, useful advice and/or a blueprint for future success.
That's the wrong way to look at it IMO. It's a way that spreads divisiveness and has an unstated pro-business bias.

I think of it as tech workers tend to get treated as people in some ways instead of cattle, and we should work to ensure that everyone gets those benefits. In other words, it's not a privilege that should be shamed or guilted, it's that tech workers are able to demand basic respect on some things.
Hee hee. But it is Farnsworthed, the default 40 WPM is quite spaced out!

Starlink satellites use on-board GPS receivers for extremely accurate (centimeter level) measurements of their position. The orbits which SpaceX reports to the world (for collision avoidance) are based on these measurements.
Yes, it's public domain
In a production database where queries must be fast, indeed you'll have to rely on constraints such as knowing the ID range and that ID's are contiguous, and do exactly as you say -- randomly generate ID's in that range and pull them with an index.

And indeed, if your data doesn't naturally have contiguous ID's, you might create an AUTOINCREMENT primary key precisely to create those contiguous ID's. And then of course if you have a reasonable but not overwhelming number of deletions, you can get away with retrying a new random number every time you don't get a hit, up to a max number of retries where you just return an error and ask the user to attempt the operation again.
> Just skip DHCPV6, just use SLAAC. Plus I've never seen DHCP hostnames work.

Here's how a part of my IPv4 network looks in my router's control panel: https://imgur.com/a/xZDUfqw , I can easily set up permanent local IPv4 addresses for the fixed infrastructure, and I can easily see which hosts are alive.

Yes, it's not 100% perfect, but it works most of the time just fine. Even with crappy IoT devices.

The development of phages has thus far made more sense for resistant infections. Perhaps phages could also help patients with chronic lung infections. For strep there isn't much motivation even if it's theoretically desirable.
Since the state no longer properly funds higher education there has been a shift in attitude. We are now a business and the client is the student. This has negative long term consequences. One of them is that I pretend to give real tests and real grades. The client must pass. The cost of acquiring new clients is much greater than the cost of keeping existing clients. It's easy to give a passing grade.

Students largely just want to pass. They mostly don't care that they don't know anything.
Most of the big professional sports already have this figured out. New college graduates have to compete for a spot at training camp. Hire them as temp contracts for two weeks to two months and let them play with the starting team.

Do Musicians and Non-Musicians Differ in Speech-on-Speech Processing?
This is very correct for new development.

I only mean that utilizing extra CPU cores in JS is a bit easier for an API server, with tons of identical parallel requests running, and where the question is usually in RPS and tail latency, than for single-task use cases like parallelized builds.

That's why this has to be mandated by the Higher Learning Commission or the federal Department of Education.
I remember this taking a second to click in high school physics class. The initial thought is that after an explosion all of the pieces fly away from a stationary point. The satellite is not stationary, so the pieces "flying away" only have their speed subtracted from the speed of the satellite.

The fact that orbital speeds are faster than explosions took a bit to sink in.

I have only limited experience (and not near enough patience!) trying to learn CW, but I have always heard that there are two things which are actively harmful to learning: 1) trying to visualize the dots and dashes, and 2) practicing at speeds slower than encountered on the air.

The best way to learn, according to the experts, is by learning to directly associate the sound that a letter makes with that letter. This takes lots of rote memorization at first, but it trains your brain to copy code "on autopilot," which is exactly what you want for something like this.

I liken it to music: musicians who learn to play by ear take the time to learn chords, scales, and intervals. It's a slog to start with and takes hours upon hours of boring practice. But once competent, they can play most pieces of music after one or two listens with only a little "noodling" to figure out the easiest 90% of the song.

I don't _think_ I'll ever learn CW well enough to do it in a contest but I've gotten a fair amount of mileage out of https://lcwo.net/morsemachine. It's essentially the audio equivalent to flash cards.
