So entirely.

Artemis III is being delayed by Artemis II. We expect Starship to delay III. But so far, 100% of the delays have been caused by Orion.

How many protestors have been executed by police in France or Germany or Italy in the last decade?
all those perspectives have truth to them but you're missing a third: they are preparing for automation.

you can drastically reduce workforce sizes at all companies. AI hasn't done this yet because there's no hole to fill; people fill the hole happily. but.. it's coming and we all know how behind gov (and many businesses) navigate compared to our best tech companies. this reduction in gov size will happen first, then maybe 2026 or whenever you'll hear stories of legislation to increase pay for gov workers and congress to attract better talent.
You can't make a movie about something without glorifying it. There's no such thing as an anti-war movie as Truffaut said.
I guess one way to test stuff is good or not is to see how many people complain about it so open betas seem to have a good audience.
I'm in my 50s and about 3 diopters farsighted. I had trouble getting a good prescription for screen glasses. My optometrist insisted that +1.25 was the right correction for desktop screens, but it gave me eye strain. I like my screen a little closer, or else my corneas are extra-stiff. Anyway, I tried a few versions and found that +1.75 was better for my desk setup.

Tip: Zenni.com lets you order pairs with custom corrections in 0.25 diopter increments for under $100 each, so you can try a few and find what feels best for several hours of screen time.
Again, irrelevant. We're talking about orders of magnitude here. Current pricing is in line with most SaaS pricing - tens of dollars to hundreds of dollars per seat per month. Now they're suddenly talking about thousands of dollars to tens of thousands of dollars per seat per month.
The guys designing this never played kerbal space program or something. My first mun lander looked like theirs and of course it fell over after landing. If something doesn’t work in KSP, it probably deserves a looking at in the real world.
> he believes it to be “extremely unlikely” that Trump would cut off UK access to Trident missiles since it would be a “strategic betrayal on a grand scale that would damage him and America”.

Has he been paying attention to the past couple months?! Strategic betrayals that damage America have been one of the few consistent themes. Every single country in the world is foolish to rely on the US for their security going forward. This is an incredibly grim development that will leave every single country less safe and prosperous but it's simply the reality.

It's not just weapons of war either, pretty much all serious threats are now higher. The US killing disease prevention and research efforts in order to cut the budget by 0.0001% will make pandemics more likely to hit every country. The lack of even a token effort to safely regulate AI increases the risk everywhere. The list goes on...

Countries should start addressing the new risks now, or face much steeper costs down the line. Hoping you can wait out the next four years and things will just bounce back is beyond reckless. It's much easier to break things than to build them up and the amount of breakage after the next four years is going to be enormous. Even if a sane regime takes power in four years, which is a massive 'if', there won't be a way to reset much of this damage and after so many lines have been crossed there's a high likelihood they will be crossed again or worse.

Same with stuff like OneDrive and SharePoint.

I do something similar with my personal laptops/PCs too — any actual files are in cloud storage[1], and mounted[2] so that they don't actually sync to the device, therefore not taking up space...

Honestly it feels very freeing having your data just be in server(s) somewhere, not having to worry about moving it between devices, or having to copy it over if you need to format/get rid of the device, or forgetting to copy over a file you need to your phone when going out, etc...

Size is important. For thin atmosphere or vacuum planet, airbag approach is optimal for small size lander, but for big size space crane is optimal.

Unfortunately, at the moment I could not suggest what is small and what is big for Moon.

And for about IM, things could be even worse, as they are limited as commercial company (NASA lander could use government money to achieve much higher budget and have much more possibilities to do same thing).
What moat does Nvidia have. AMD could have ROCm perfected if they really want to. Also most of pytorch, specially those relevant to transformers runs perfectly on Apple Silicon and TPUs and probably other hardware as well.

If anyone has moat related to Gen AI, I would say it is the data(Google, Meta).

> You seem most interested in figuratively listening to yourself talk

Projection.

> Books are about information primarily. Then they are about stimulation

I have repeatedly said that my point is that books provide stimulation but no more than some other media and that it is not the principal benefit of books over said other media (video games primarily). You have been in bad faith for this entire conversation repeatedly failing to grasp this point and then putting words in my mouth which you then use as evidence I contradict myself then gaslighting me when I get annoyed about you doing it. I assumed you were merely not grasping the concept before but this is clearly malicious.

> I refuse to believe that your goal is to convince a stranger on the internet that instead of picking up a book they might as well binge whatever is hot on Netflix, which is all I've gathered from your words.

It's good that you refuse to believe that. Maybe do a bit of reading and thinking to figure out what my actual point is. Here is a useful excerpt from past posts of mine:

> It should be pretty obvious that I think the mental stimulation that is supposedly attributed to books is massively overrated which is evidenced by the fact that more mentally stimulating things do not have those same benefits attributed to them.

> I think the benefit of books is limited to the information you might learn from reading them

Can you figure out from these two quotes which you have access to what my position on books is? Why I think they're better than a Netflix show? Yes you can because you literally did it:

> Books are about information primarily

Then in the next sentence you wonder how I could possibly think that books are better for you than a medium with less information in it. I sorry if you genuinely lack the mental capacity to figure this out on your own, but you can hardly expect me not to be annoyed by it. Especially when you go out of your way to read my comment history to insult me, try a nice little game of "everyone doesn't want to be your friend", and then act all holier than thou about it.
I think part of the issue is how impossible it is to know which parts of the cuts that DOGE has are honest.

The easy example is when they said we're spending millions of dollars for "condoms for Gaza", only for it to be the wrong Gaza, and the Gaza that that spending was referring to was one of the largest HIV hotspots in the world, and it wasn't millions of dollars. It's tough to know how much of that is idiocy vs outright dishonesty.

AMD's competitor to CUDA is ROCm. Historically, AMD has been hobbled by the quality of their drivers and because they sold less performant hardware. AMD has traditionally been the budget option for both CPUs and GPUs. Things have changed in the CPU space because of Ryzen, but sadly AMD has not been able to realize an equivalent competitive advantage in the GPU space. Intel has also entered the GPU market, but they are even farther behind than AMD. The same problems I am about to describe apply to them as well, to a higher degree.

Rewriting CUDA programs to run using ROCm is expensive and time consuming. It is difficult to justify this expense when in all likelihood the ROCm version will be less efficient, less performant, and less stable than the original. In the grand scheme of things, AMD hardware is indeed cheaper but it's not that much cheaper. From a business standpoint, it's just not worth it.

Knowing what I know about how management thinks, even if AMD managed to make an objectively superior product at a much better price, institutional momentum alone would keep people on CUDA for a long time.
>We can also see that a decent chunk of Europe went into Afghanistan with us

There's a difference between big EU countries (which have been skimping), and the small E. European countries which are more realistic about defence. Note Ukraine itself did a lot here.

>a common argument I see for why the US can't have proper universal health care when so much of Europe manages to do it is that Europe is (supposedly) free-riding off of US medical R&D.

US actually spends more. The trick is seeing where this expenditure goes ('greedy CEOs' is technically accurate, but not the biggest reason).
The issue is that you can justify overturning any part of our liberal democracy by finding one example of abuse. For example,

"We should institute a federal board of candidacy to keep all these corrupt politicians off the ballot."

"We should allow the state governor to have an un-pardon, to send criminals like OJ Simpson to jail even after they get off on a technicality."

"We should allow police to search your person without a warrant if they won't be able to find you later on."
You are buying a DVD with the content on it. That's why it's $15 and not some sort of unlimited digital license that Netflex pays $millions for.

Yeah. If people are worried enough about something that they vote this hard about it, go ahead and do some more tests. Be super transparent.

The real fight will be the communications about the results. Bend over backwards to explain everything extremely clearly. If RFK Jr oversees a milestone study that dramatically shows there is no vaccine/austism connection then maybe, just maybe, we can stop talking about it.

Then again, flat earthers seem to lose faith in their experiments as soon as the results disagree with their preferred outcome…

Thank you!

Overhead ultimately depends on the frequency, it defaults to 19hz per core, at which it’s less than 1%, which is tried and tested with all sorts of super heavy python, JVM, rust, etc. workloads. Since it’s per core it tends to be plenty of stacks to build statistical significance quickly. The profiler is essentially a thread-per-core model, which certainly helps for perf.

The offset approach has evolved a bit, it’s mixed with some disassembling today, with that combination it’s rock solid. It is dependent on the engine, and in the case of python only support cpython today.
Ian Hickson, who authored the HTML5 spec and leads Flutter, has written about exactly this, Towards a Modern Web Stack [0][1], to create a new stack that can handle modern web applications. Flutter is a part of it but he talks about a more general (and generalizable) stack. He's on the HN thread as well expanding on the rationale behind it. Interestingly, it seems like specific people on HN don't exactly like it, a bit funny to witness their crash outs.

>You guys have offered nothing to address deficit spending

the Republican-controlled Congress passed an increase in the spending limit. DOGE isn't cutting costs -- they can't! That's Congress's job! All DOGE can do is shuffle around the funding, and even then, they only have the authority to do that a certain amount.

Congress mandated that the Executive spend $X Y ways. DOGE does not have control over _EITHER_ the amount OR the ways.

I am sympathetic with financial conservatives who want to shore up the budget but it would be nice if they would actually do that -- it would be an act of Congress, not the Executive.

Anything the Executive does about spending -- besides proposing budget changes to Congress -- is performative at best and downright illegal at worst.

This could be the problem, especially if you are close to 40 years old. You may be starting to develop presbyopia, which is typical. In the early stages you can still read and focus on closeup things fine, so you may not realize it is starting, but in the background your eyes are, in fact, straining a lot and causing headaches.
No? There's plenty of talk about it on Reddit when these things come up. Examples:

1. https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXPreppers/comments/1igugaw/the_5...

This one talks about concerns over the police sending agent provocateurs to protests to instigate violence and let them crack down on the protestors.

2. https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1j3enrz/trump_ame...

This one is a thread about the government limiting student protests, several comments actually mention Kent State by name

3. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskALiberal/comments/1i1vsp6/why_no...

Here is one asking why there aren't more protests, one answer worries that "protesting in the streets will get people put in prisons being used as slave labor."

These are just the first three results that I found in a moment of searching but I could go on all night. I'm not saying I agree with them or that their thinking is perfect but we can be certain that numerous people are afraid of violent reactions from the state if they try to protest what is happening.
Or indeed, they are soldiers and they're destroying the government because they're working for/with people who'd be unable to destroy it with direct military action.

In that light, the absence of the 'profit' stage is sort of the point. It's mysterious if you have to come up with a narrative where somebody benefits from the destruction. If it's just sabotage, it serves as its own purpose and nobody around here needs to benefit or indeed survive it.

> what about defining "lying" as "saying something that, if accepted, moves the believer away from the liar's worldmodel"?

Then the definition becomes kinda-contradictory: The entity would sometimes tell the truth, because that would be the best choice to divert and ruin your model.

So "always lies in a simple way" would become more like "always unhelpful in a superintelligently evil way."

The software equivalent of "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". I will note, however, that the reviewer that Goedecke is disagreeing with isn't necessarily wrong, if the goal of the challenge is not just to create the absolute best possible code but to also demonstrate mastery.

I love how when the FT broke the story, the german government investigated the FT for attacking their champion. If they had instead investigated, Jan Marsalek, who seems to really be a foreign agent, he might not have evaded the authorities.
> The libertarian argument is that you made a person without their consent, and now they have the burden of deciding whether they want to continue to live, and this is unjust.

I understand that is a libertarian argument and it is one that I fully disagree with. However, I do not think you have to make this argument for the others to hold true, which is the point I was trying to make.

> We can observe empirically that specialization and trade with others benefits the participants. Then not everyone has to be a doctor, a shelter builder, a farmer, etc. (none of which they can even do competently without a teacher).

What is the empirical evidence that a specialist is more fulfilled in life than a frontier settler who needed to be all of the things you mentioned?

One of the assumptions I avoided arguing in the "mountain of assumptions" is that we could measure the human condition in such a way as to say something is better than another, or that something that is better for one is better for all.

> This step is doing a lot of work. If you believe it is unjust that you were brought into this world without consent, sure, but that idea of justice is absurd.

My point in the first argument is that you can separate the idea that being born is just or unjust from the argument that being born into a social system is just or unjust. I think someone reasonably believe three of those combinations:

Birth : Society

Just / Just

Unjust / Unjust

Just / Unjust

It is fair that this separation is only possible due to a bit of a game I'm playing by centralizing the relative "justness" from the perspective of the individual. I think if you take a purely individualistic approach to this, you can separate things by what are changeable and what are not, as well the reality of nature vs. social construct. Someone was born, that cannot be changed. They are constrained by the natural laws of the universe, that cannot be changed. However, the social constructs that they live within can be changed.

The outcome may be different if we shifted the perspective to, say, the parent, where you could argue that their decision to conceive was unjust. Or to the system as a whole.

I think this is a valid approach given that we are discussing such an individualistic philosophy.

> The idea of justice divorced from the idea of benefit ultimately leads to the absurdum. Fairness is not an end goal in itself but one of many means to achieve mutual benefit, which satisfies the primary goal of personal benefit.

Hmm, I'm having a hard time working through this argument. Could you expand on it?
