Today, being a NASA astronaut is kind of a dud job. There are about 50 active astronauts at the moment, and not very many flights for them. Peak was around 150, in the Shuttle era. With 135 Shuttle flights, with up to eight people aboard, most of them got a chance to go up, usually more than once. Not today.

Another astronaut comments on what the Crew-9 people can expect: "The returning astronauts will "struggle to walk, get dizzy easily, and have bad eyesight", because the "build-up of fluid changes the shape of their eyeballs, and weakens their vision". They may need glasses for the rest of their lives."

Living without gravity seems to be harder on some than others. Valery Polyakov spent 435 days in space, longer than anyone else. He apparently didn't suffer much in the way of after-effects, had a good post-flight career, and died at age 80.

> AI agents are rational agents. They make rational decisions

this is wrong, it's almost impossible to build a fully-rational (in the Game-Theoretic sense) agent for almost any real life usecase, except some textbook toy problems.

There are many levels of Intelligence/Cognitions for Agents.

Here's an incomplete hierarchy out of my head (the real classification will deserve a whole blog post or a paper):

- Dumb/NPC/Zero-Intelligence
- Random/Probabilistic
- Rule-based / Reflexive
- Low-Rationality
- Boundedly-Rational
- Behavioral (i.e. replicating a recorded behavior of a real-life entity/phenomena)
- Learning (e.g. using AI/ML or simple statistics)
- Adaptive (similar to learning agents, but may take different (better) actions in the same situation)
- [Fully-]Rational / Game-Theoretic

"A rational actor - a perfectly informed individual with infinite computing capacity who maximizes a fixed (non-evolving) exogenous utility function"[1] bears little relation to a human being.[2]

Speaking of, I don't mind that in principle, but why does it linger so long on the "Success" page?

> AFAIK ignoring unknown fields is a MUST in the protobuf spec.

Yes, but there isn't only an unknown field, but also a missing field. (The old field index) Thus it doesn't meet the requirements of the client.

Now that probably could be circumvented by doing more edits to the protobuf message. If nothing else works by injecting 0s length ads instead.

I see what you're saying but I am also talking about how computers originally saved humans time and that the OP seems to now be slaving away to save the CPU time. Doesn't that seem a little backwards?

If we're talking about micro-seconds of difference, the trade-off doesn't seem worth it. Even on a mass scale where this is somehow adopted, nobody is going to notice the difference. Maybe if this were in something like eCommerce and web browing where the lag translates to profit lost? Or perhaps game engines?

IDK, I just consider humans time more precious than a slow package (that already runs blazingly fast on a CPU that it barely matters.)

Rebuilding from scratch also takes longer than installing a prebuilt package. So while it might be worth it for a heavily used application, in general I doubt it.

Also I think in earlier days the argument to build was so you can optimize the application for the specific capabilities of your system like the supported SIMD instruction set or similar. I think nowadays that is much less of a factor. Instead it would probably be better to do things like that on a package or distribution level (i.e. have one binary distribution package prebuilt by the distribution for different CPU capabilities).
AI agents have been most promising for solving fuzzy problems where optimal solutions are intractable, using sequences of approximations instead of more rigid rule-based workflows. Their architecture combines workflows, connectors, and an optimization engine that balances the explore/exploit tradeoff. So far in terms of guardrails, agents only evolve within environments where they have been given the necessary tools.
The only time a library should be panicking is if they’ve reached a state they cannot continue from.

I’d be interested to know which libraries you’re working with where this has been a problem because I’ve only ever experienced one occasion where a 3rd party library panicked unnecessarily.

You just stated how an AI generated image should be copyrightable. You should be able to own the copyright to all the configuration settings. If those settings then can be transformed to a 100% deterministic image (true, since you provide the seed) then I don't see how this is different than developing a photo negative film and transferring it to paper.

I really hope they'll at some point clearly say either "well, of course we missed our families, but really, getting such an opportunity was AWESOME and Boeing's misfortune was a huge lucky event for us" or "Being up there is awesome, but quite honestly, having to do it unexpectedly really sucked".

It's cheaper for the manufacturer. It shifts the UI work from expensive hardware design and manufacturing, that needs to be in-sync with the rest of design and manufacturing of the car, into purely software realm that can be outsourced to some cheap noname company. All the hardware complexity goes away, you only have a glass slab to fit somewhere.

Though arguably, the starker difference is with home appliances, where touch interfaces replaced buttons. There, there's no dynamic display (at best, only a light behind a button turning on or off) - so you don't have touch screens, you have a much simpler touch recognition technology, that has zero moving parts and can be pretty much etched onto the board, which is a significant saving over mechanical buttons. And it looks cool, which helped with marketing initially.
It's really weird that particle accelerators or just some sort of X-ray tubes are apparently even more bothersome than precisely exploding freefalling drops of liquid tin with heat rays.
Nvidia Unveils New AI Chips and Partnerships at GTC 2025
NVIDIA's GTC 2025 conference highlighted major advancements in AI technology and strategic industry partnerships. CEO Jensen Huang introduced the Blackwell Ultra GPU and the Vera Rubin chip, both designed to push AI computational power further. The Vera Rubin chip, expected in late 2026, will deliver a 3.3x performance boost, while its successor, Vera Rubin Ultra, set for 2027, aims for a 14x improvement.

NVIDIA also announced a collaboration with General Motors to integrate AI into GM's vehicles, manufacturing, and robotics, enhancing automation and efficiency. Additionally, NVIDIA is partnering with Google and Alphabet to advance AI-driven software development, including Android optimizations. Despite these breakthroughs, NVIDIA’s stock dipped 3.4% during the event, reflecting market reactions and ongoing trade concerns with China. Nonetheless, these developments reinforce NVIDIA's leadership in AI innovation and strategic growth.

Sure you can do things.But it haw likits - law enforcement were changed to loyalists, people who investigated Trump and Musk were fired. Everybody gets the message.

Federalist were working on biasing judges toward right wing for years, judges that go against Trump are attacked. Sooooo ...

And Trump/Musk straight said he don't care about listening to judges multiple times. When all the rest fails, they will just do what they want.

It is what it is. Making criminal a president and giving him carte blanche to break the law, courtesy right wingers on Supreme Court, has consequences. And will have consequences as neither he nor Musk can afford to loose the power.

Everything is making us dumb. I remember when ATMs would give out your money before giving back your card. You would often find someone's card and maybe you could still shout to them if you saw them walking away.

Back then you'd giggle about how silly that person was, you wouldn't forget your card would you? Somewhere since then the mindset shifted and if a machine would allow for this to happen everybody would agree the designers of the machine did not do a good job on the user-experience.

This is just a silly example, but through everyday life everything has become streamlined and you can just cruise through a day on auto-pilot and machines will autocorrect you or the process how to use them makes it near impossible to get into a anomalous state. Sometimes I do have the feeling all this made us 'dumber' and I don't actively think anymore when interfacing with things because I assume it's foolproof.

However, not having to actively think about every little thing when interfacing with systems does give a lot of free mental capacity to be used for other things.

When reading these things I always get the feeling it's simply a "kids these days" piece. Go back 40 years when hardly anybody would use punch cards anymore. I'd imagine there were a lot of "real" developers who advocated that "kids" are wasting CPU cycles and memory because they've lost touch with the hardware and if they simply kept using punchcards they'd get a sense of "real" programming again.

My takeaway is, if we expect our ATMs to behave sane and keep us from doing dumb things, why wouldn't we expect at least a subset of developers wanting to get that same experience during development?

I had had Gentoo continuously in use since 2003, and only very recently moved off of it (late 2024) when I tried Void Linux. On Void, buildability from source by end users is not a declared goal nor architectural feature, but you have a pretty decent chance of being able to make it work. You can expect one or two hiccups, but if you have decent all-round Linux experience, chances are you'll be able to jump into the build recipes, fix them, make everything work for what you need it to do, and contribute the fixes back upstream. This is what you get from a relentless focus on minimalism and avoiding overengineering of any kind. It's what I had been missing in Gentoo all those years. With Gentoo, I always ended up having to fiddle with use flags and package masks in ways that wouldn't be useful to other users. The build system is so complex that it had been just too difficult for me, over all these years, to properly learn it and learn to fix problems at the root cause level and contribute them upstream. Void should also be an ideal basis for when you don't want to build the entire system from source, but you just want to mix & match distro-provided binaries with packages you've built from source (possibly on the basis of a modified build recipe to better match your needs or your hardware).

Polls were done. Pretty much none of them want to be USA. Few want independence.

Overwhelmingly, they want to be Denmark. And are Denmark. And see USA as a threat now.
Thanks for clarifying! It would be helpful to mention that in the FAQ — knowing that the US has no involvement when ordering from the EU would be reassuring.
From the article:

> It shocked him to realize that he now perceives the United States as a greater threat than Iran.

Weird how Europeans / Canadians / extremist Americans don’t seem to reflect on these types of sentiments, of preferring Iran and China over the US, and realize that maybe, just maybe - they are not thinking clearly. These are literally authoritarian dictatorships, while the US is a democracy that supports things like free speech and freedom of religion. These are values that are more strongly supported in America than anywhere else, and are the same types of values that the EU and Canada should be supporting.

In my experience the unlikeable nerds are mostly negative people that talk a lot about what they don't like. Nobody likes anyone like that. The key is to frame everything as positive. Talk about what you do like.
