Perhaps you can show me where you think I said SpaceX shouldn't be subject to regulatory oversight.

Given the incredibly hostile regulatory environment they've faced in Texas trying to operate their own private launch site, I think there are very clear benefits in using an established public facility that isn't under threat by c

I don't think the comment you replied to implies such a black and white distinction. Is it so absurd to suggest that some of the people working on Starliner actually cared, and did the best work they could? Managers too, though ultimat

Given how much future is left (a whole lot), I don't really understand why some people seem so confident that humanity is just going to stay on Earth forever. Are you assuming industrial civilization will collapse? It's certainly

What do you imagine is the material difference between what I said and what you said? But if you want to split hairs like this, get it right: compan ies . Boeing is the primary contractor, but others likely share some responsibility---for i

It says a lot about the insane dangers of the Space Shuttle in particular. There were several issues with its design that made it an accident waiting to happen, notably its spotty abort coverage on ascent (even worse pre-Challenger) and the

It will certainly be (rightly) blamed on the vehicle. It's designed to operate completely autonomously---they flew two full test flights that way before ever putting crew on it.

You asked them to define successful, and they did (implicitly). The fact that you also provided your own arbitrary definition of successful seems largely irrelevant given that you asked them for their own, regardless of whether VS meets yo

My understanding is that commercialization certainly weakens a fair use argument, but that its absence does not automatically make a reproduction and/or distribution fair use.

I am seriously worried about what it's going to cost to buy my daughter a seat at the human table rather than defaulting to the AI slop trough it seems most kids less privileged than her will be forced to learn from in the near future.

Right now automation allows neither of those things. The best you're going to get is existing games reskinned with AI slop assets---the new shovelware. In some hypothetical future world where GenAI content really is as novel and worthw

Consumers deserve far better than what they're getting from network gear manufacturers—crap, and grossly overpriced crap. I wish Apple would get back into the game and at least offer some grossly overpriced non-crap.

The crews of Apollo 1, Challenger, and Columbia might take issue with your implication that glorious American capitalism could never produce similar outcomes.

You are simply underlining my point that your perspective is disproportionately (and inappropriately, in this context) focused on the Starship program, which is completely irrelevant to NASA's Commercial Crew program. It's true th

I think you're conflating the way SpaceX is developing Starship with the way the rest of their business operates (and has operated). Their Falcon rockets (i.e. the ones they actually sell launches on) have an outstanding reliability

It's pretty hard to beat an LLM for filling in common boilerplate or autocompleting relatively obvious lines of code that can be checked in a second or two, no matter how much experience you have.

In a space so rife with misinformation playing to both sides, I'm not interested in listening to claims like this made with zero evidence. Sorry.

Exactly what I was going to say. Like, I have no idea, but this is an incredibly asymmetrical conflict and neither possibility (Hamas' social media misinformation campaign is comparable to Israel's, or it isn't) would surpris

Bitwarden, which you can self-host (I do this) seems to have at least partial support now, and I know they're working on improving it. However, I'm not sure if their client and server are both fully FOSS.
