It's obviously not something you'd want to happen _passively_ when visiting a web page, but if the alternative is installing an executable / using a package manager / etc., why not? At least the browser is a more secure

The progressive loading of the tile images really goes great with the pixel art style. Nice touch!

This exchange seemingly proves the argument that user trust gained from the EV treatment is misplaced, and that the endeavor was a farce all along. It's not as though the user's browser was distinguishing the good CAs from the bad

> Tailscale for space Technically the article was about running it not on a sat, but on a dish (something well within the realm of possibility this year if the router firmware on the darn things could be modified at all)

You don't just accept the review as-is, though; You prompt it to be a skeptic and find a handful of specific examples of claims that are worth extra attention from a qualified human. Unfortunately, this probably results in lazy humans

It's the same distinction as making a backup copy of a movie to your hard drive vs. redistributing it to other parties.

That must be what inspired them to approach San Francisco's Central Subway in a similar fashion!

I would think the way humans draw clocks has more in common with image generation models (which probably do a bit better with this task overall) than a language model producing SVG markup, though.

Do you disagree that cultivating the launch provider industry in this way has strategic value?

Even if the bet on Starship fails to pay off, the existing Falcon 9 program is both (1) the dominant launch vehicle in terms of sheer quantity, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of missions and (2) the only system with a reusable first st

I think it's more fair to say that transportation from ground to orbit became commoditized to the point where the better allocation of NASA's talents became designing and building telescopes (like the JWST), Martian rovers /

The point of comparison here would be a human delivery driver, who (as I understand) can be carrying multiple deliveries at a time. I think with Waymo's service, it's one delivery at a time, which results in more cars on the road

You mean they did, but the Trump administration and GOP passed a provision to begin eliminating the program earlier this year.

Can't you get recency just from git blame? Editors already show you each source line's last-touch age, even in READMEs, and even though this can get obfuscated (by reformatters, file moves, etc.) it's still a decent indicator

Looks like something you'd expect to find as a countdown timer in the run up to this year's WWDC on their homepage. Very slick.

An automated test mitigates the risk you describe, and is well worth the tradeoff for fast startup. I don't consider startup time "superficial" at all; I work in a Django monolith where this problem resulted in each and every

I think it's being pointed out as an inherent weakness of greater centralization when it comes to the internet's resiliency against government interference and censorship. The internet used to be much more decentralized than it is

NVDA's share price enjoyed a nice $6 bump today, so the announcement did what it was supposed to do. In a sense, it's just an ask to public investors for added capital to do a thing, and evidently a number of investors found the p
