My guess would be not that dangerous. People would not live next door to the launch site, they would live a 20 minute drive away.

People live near KSC and Vandenburg, there are no dangers there. It will be loud when there are launches, but those are relatively uncommon and pre-scheduled events.

As far as I know, Freudian psychoanalysis has been dead academically as long as I've been alive. Complaining about it is pretty close to complaining about how physics is stuffed with all these people who believe in the lumineferous aether. [1]

Were a lot of Freud's initial ideas discredited? Definitely. But the same is true of Isaac Newton, who was an alchemist and theologian. Consider his recipe for curing plague with toad amulets. [2]

The beginnings of any sort of knowledge are messy. But progress is possible.

So you are saying if by chance a normal bacteria was mutated into chiral/mirror we’d be wiped out? I’m sure there was such events in nature before
I think what they're going for here is "base town" not a literal city with anything resembling a downtown.

IDK about Texas law and process but I assume having an incorporated municipality takes a lot of stuff that would be permitted or planned or have resource allocation determined on the county or state level and makes it the purview of the municipality so SpaceX would gain the ability to manage things more unilaterally.
Totally impractical for virtually any application.

That clip is showing the filter coffee brew function, not espresso. Brewing filter coffee in an espresso machine actually sounds like it'd be nice on occasion. Side note -- I find it funny that you'd assume the guy that designed an espresso machine and grinder doesn't know what espresso looks like; on the flip-side, why no espresso pull money shot???
ah yes, affirmative, jelly baby, thanks. I might dig those out this weekend for a rerun.

Some of the reboots also had some nice remixes on the theme tune, some real heavy base on the last season I watched.

> The only way to improve the size of transformers will be the widespread availability of room-temperature superconducting material

I'm not sure this is enough. You certainly do not need it to be room temperature, but the current density of your superconductor is critically relevant, and it tends to not be great.
Why do you think these are not important?

Do you think it’s not important to know whether all these apps that people are feeding private medical data into actually have any benefits?

Do you think studying why a certain group of children have worse wellbeing than a different group of children is not useful?

Considering how important sleep is you don’t think determining the impact media has on people’s sleep is not important?

I’m absolutely ok with the idea that some research gets funded that shouldn’t. But the fact that even your cherry picked sample shows research that even reading a couple of sentences of the abstract shows a lot of value indicates that this may be even less of an issue than I had imagined.
Not really possible via mutation. Mutation only impacts the genetic code, swapping chirality means swapping nearly every molecule in the organism all at once.

Executing so well that they’re fabbing basically all of their current products at their biggest competitor TSMC instead of their own fabs? That doesn’t really scream successful execution to me…

As you said, 18A is the last node of that plan, so by now if they were executing well on those nodes they should be fabbing all their products on the Intel 3 and 20A processes but they’re not. In fact they don’t even have a 20A process to use because they cancelled it, so clearly that wasn’t executed well.
We should scrap economics?

>> Mirror life would have no interoperability with normal life, in biochemical terms.

That sounds like a good thing but... Our food chain starts at the bottom with bacteria turning nutrients into bio-molecules right? These bacteria are eaten by other things going up the food chain ultimately to us. What if some bacteria got loose at that bottom level and started eating all the nutrients with no natural predators? What if it out-competed those with predators? That might be game over for life as we know it.

I'm NOT saying this would happen, just that it one of thousands of possible scenarios one can come up with that go very badly. No one can say with certainty which things would or would not happen.
> With an exception (not checked exceptions) you get the advantage of the compiler knows about this and can optimize some code paths while result/checked exceptions need to go into that function anyway.

Once you convert them in CPS form there is really no difference between the two. In principle you could compile both to exactly the same code. [edit: also not sure why are you singling out checked exceptions]

[edit: specifically you could compile any code that returns an Either to a function that takes two return continuations instead of just one, and in CPS form exception-like non-local exits are trivial]

Of course in practice traditional procedural languages do not compile through CPS and use abnormal edges in basic blocks to represent exceptions.

> There are pros and cons to both, so anyone arguing absolutely for either side is wrong

I'm in the camp that, in a well designed language[1], there would be no difference between the two :D

Funny that you should say that. It's not just the social sciences that are having a replication crisis. [1] So this appears to be some sort of broad social problem that we don't totally understand. Seems like we need people who study societies to help figure it out.

Simply false, I have cared for a family member with dementia. What I remember most is their fear, fear that they were dying, fear that I was there to hurt them. I could honestly reassure them that I was not, and I wouldn't give that up for anything.

It's presumption and rude of you to make these assumptions about my experiences, please stop.
Spending public money on unproductive work makes society weaker for everyone else. I'm not necessarily opposed to government funding for social science research but it's not clear that this research produces a positive ROI for taxpayers.
The question is, how long is that power needed.

Edit: "Ultrashort pulses" so likely not much. Because indeed, you cannot burn the human. So the energy consumption likely won't be a problem. Except that it might make the machine expensive to build.
This article doesn't quite seem to know what it's complaining about. 90% of everything is shit, as it's always been. Trends have always existed. Trend followers have always blindly copied what's popular without putting any originality into it.

This so-called age of average is also a great age for subcultures and visual distinctiveness, but it's not found in the popular districts of cities over 10 million people or anything recommended by an Instagram account over 10 million followers.
No, unused memory should always be used as cache if it has no other use at the moment. It's wasted otherwise.

I think another important issue is how the societal and cultural evaluation of university degrees compared to alternatives like apprenticeships in crafts has shifted.

The former is held in much higher regard as far as social standing goes even if we probably need many more of the latter, it requires lots of training as well, and you can even earn pretty good money.
I have known people in approximately similar situations and they still didn't want to die.
If a court were to order transfer of assets, your argument would find a limit.

That's what courts do.

Rarely enough that there's not a whole lot of coverage but I'm finding a few cases:

We have previously written an OnPoint about the law concerning ownership of social media accounts in light of the explosive growth in the use of such media for commercial advertising, product development and customer engagement. We presented on this and related topics at the Federal Bar Association and MyLawCLE webinar on September 6, 2023. We then wrote an OnPoint about the Second Circuit’s decision in JLM Couture, Inc. v. Hayley Paige Gutman, in which the Second Circuit instructed that ownership and control of social media accounts created during employment or in connection with one’s employment should be determined on a case-by-case basis without a pre-determined multifactor test.

"From Creation to Control: Navigating Social Media Ownership in the Second Circuit" <https://www.dechert.com/knowledge/onpoint/2024/9/social-medi...> (24 Sep 2024)

And:

[T]he court issued a memorandum opinion regarding the social media accounts on April 3, 2015. The court ruled that the reorganized debtor was entitled to direct control of the social media accounts — a Facebook page and a Twitter account — because the accounts were business accounts, not Alcede’s personal accounts. The court’s analysis was thorough and will be frequently cited in future social media cases.

This is a decidedly different case than, say, squatting or hijacking an identifier, or having a service provider arbitrarily reassign it. Both instances of which definitely do occur.

The first often enough that there are multiple how-to guides to recovery and avoidance:

As well as coverage of specific events:

"The original owner of @N gets his $50k Twitter handle back" <https://www.dailydot.com/debug/twitter-handle-n-hijacking-fi...> (2021)

Twitter does and has commandeered or arbitrarily seized accounts:

Yeah even a sizable fraction of economic research is not credible enough to take at face value… let alone social sciences in general.
For an 8-bit CPU you could maybe do it. For a 64 bit cpu, the lookup table for addition alone would be massive. (You can of course do addition in smaller increments, like adding one digit at a time and keeping track of the carry, but then you just have a normal full adder).

The biggest issue is that this CPU would be conceptually simple, but very difficult to make fast. Memory is slow, and accessing a 64k lookup table uses more transistors than just doing the addition
That is what high level chess has been for years: preparing lines where you have the disadvantage if your opponent plays perfectly, but it uses up their clock and gives you opportunities to punish mistakes in their calculation.

The same technique is used in ameture level chess too, although these are more likely to be piece gambits than merely positional ones.

Multiple people raising objections at once, each at a reasonable volume to speak to a large seminar room, and other people speaking to their immediate neighbor. If there was angry muttering, I don't recall it. But yes, a crowd of mathematicians going wild is still pretty chill.
Investing in higher quality teachers would be sensible, the rest is a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure.

"Effective shepherding" is synonymous with propaganda, which the study tries to promote. Correct or not, it certainly isn't democratic or can be justified with the alleged protection of democracy.

It is a perspective that has the premise that its influence is more constructive than others. Finding an example here is easy, but it cannot prove the general rule.

Who cares about "the actual need of employers"? If they have needs, they can see to it that they are met. Create their own schools or educate people on the job or whatever, it's not a purpose of educational institutions like universities and so on.
I hate to break it to you, but spouting a little pop science jargon plus some anecdotes is not "figuring it out" for the purposes of actually fixing anything. If it were, then they "do your own research" people would have health care sorted out already.
Again: whether "society" changes is irrelevant.

The point of the conversation is that if /you/ are feeling isolated (and, statistically speaking, YOU ARE) /you/ can affect /you/ by breaking out of your lil self-imposed isolation chamber and doing what normal humans do: communicate.

Will doing so change society? Who gives a hoot? /You'll feel better/.

Frankly these excuses are just that. Excuses. Stop catastrophizing. Start trying. And, while I'm ranting, stop encouraging others to catastrophize too.

One thing that needs to be added is that this is all very true for each individual project, but once you start stacking project on top of project done a little bit fast, the cut corners can compound. So you have to make sure that some of those tight deadlines are for things that keep your systems maintainable.

I didn't read the article (soft paywall), but there's a lot of precident for towns formed around industries. Taking the US northeast for example- the Industrial Revolution in the mid-19th century saw cities spring up to take advantage of local resources. Woonsocket RI was founded around a river that provides power to mills. There are many other examples of mill towns- the buildings still stand, and are often coverted to office or residential space.

In any case, SpaceX needs a place where its employees can live. But where is the dividing line between "corporate campus" and a municipality with local elective government?

Maybe? Has it produced any actionable results? I mean the research results produced by economists aren't necessarily wrong, but since policy makers just ignore the research anyway then what's the point of funding it?
Sorry for the delay. The problem is that ‘as broad and as deep’ works if we think in terms of a mass operation, but not for an individual. For an individual, these are competing strategies. I’m not advocating against a broad education, but at the same time, if the job market can’t truly see each person’s skillset, we’ll always have a mismatch.
This post was really well written, I've felt the same way for a long time and I guess and never stopped and think about it.

Oh, and I just remembered where this always burns me. It's cases like this:

./myprogram --config=~/.config/myprogram

Of course, many flags parsers are aware of this, or at least accidentally aware of this, because you can write it in a form that your shell will expand.

./myprogram --config ~/.config/myprogram

For some reason, my muscle memory requires me to type the =. I don't know why. It's probably a habit I picked up from a former employer's flag parsing library. I also always use --underscores_like_this instead of --hyphens-like-normal-people for the same reason. Sigh!

'Something came up out, of the water, Like a parrot beak, but about a hundred times bigger. It took -
Rosie - with one snap, and disappeared. We have some impressive company here; even if we could
breathe outside, I certainly wouldn't recommend swimming -'
'Bridge to Captain,' said the officer on duty, 'Big disturbance in the water - camera three - I'll give you
the picture.'
'That's the thing I saw!' cried the doctor. He felt a sudden chill at the inevitable, ominous thought: I hope it's not back for
more.
Suddenly, a vast bulk broke through the surface of the ocean and arched into the sky. For a moment,
the whole monstrous shape was suspended between air and water.
The familiar can be as shocking as the strange - when it is in the wrong place. Both captain and doctor
exclaimed simultaneously: 'It's a shark!'
There was just time to notice a few subtle differences - in addition to the monstrous parrot-beak -
before the giant crashed back into the sea. There was an extra pair of fins - and there appeared to be no
gills. Nor were there any eyes, but on either side of the beak there were curious protuberances that might
be some other sense organs.
'Convergent evolution, of course,' said the doctor. 'Same problems, same solutions, on any planet.
Look at Earth. Sharks, dolphins, ichthyosaurs - all oceanic predators must have the same basic design.
That beak puzzles me, though -'
'What's it doing now?'
The creature had surfaced again, but now it was moving very slowly, as if exhausted after that one
gigantic leap. In fact, it seemed to be in trouble - even in agony; it was beating its tail against the sea,
without attempting to move in any definite direction.
Suddenly, it vomited its last meal, turned belly up, and lay wallowing lifelessly in the gentle swell.
'Oh my God,' whispered the Captain, his voice full of revulsion. 'I think I know what's happened.'
'Totally alien biochemistries,' said the doctor; even he seemed shaken by the sight. 'Rosie's claimed
one victim, after all.'

Agreed. But I don’t think economics is off the hook here either. To me it’s the social science that best masquerades as a “hard” science while still make huge jumps in logic that are rarely justified in the papers I’ve read.

By "very popular", you mean "as many as 0.0001% of people worldwide use it", though.
So how much was it? It would take time some time to look that up (find the story, find that part of the story...) when you know it anyway and can thus allow me to be lazy.
can you provide an example of a discipline that has taken a hard turn towards rejecting the scientific method?
TBF, western economics is a joke compared to the other social sciences. It needs to be fused with sociology or political science to make a lick of sense.
