In-orbit refueling, etc. Those are Starships not SLS being counted: 29:45 Talking about methane, in situ refueling (not just spacex, but they've been the most vocal): 41:25 Complexity/redundancy: 46:28 (looong pause and laughter)

My TLDW: He's (not so) indirectly critical of Space X's Starship program and tribal groupthink. He may be "scared" of NASA because he's calling out one of their giant Artemis contracts. Some longer takeaways: - Simp

This is perhaps why many frame this debate around what free will is : "free will is an illusion" vs "free will does not exist." It bends away from fatalism. The science and theory behind determinism seems plausible to m

I used to write research at Goldman. Our chief economist would often give this book as an end-of-year gift. I found it useful in my writing: https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/E/bo2567

OPUS should have an honorable mention here. Same case could be made for OPUS vs AAC/AC3/etc.

Zstandard (zstd), with a properly trained dictionary, could do well against larger (than alice29) texts. I doubt you'd see ~0.4 bpb, but 1-1.5 seems achievable. And it would be ~100% accurate with no GPU or other overhead necessary. A

Great stuff. After using datatables in Python, I was excited by the performance but disappointed by the support (hey, everyone has different priorities). I had started my own DataFrame library in Rust that could be used as a pandas corollar

The next four hours were a hellscape of terror, panic and paranoia... Finally, after hours, the attack smoldered and I drifted off. It was the worst night of my life. The next morning, while making coffee...

Perhaps not the case here, but there are a couple of things I would add to this sentiment. First, if you love Rust uniquely, I'd argue it might still make sense to use Rust to build your first product iterations. If your initial team c

1. Keep doing LC easy until they are easy, read and re-read comments and solutions until it sticks. You can get it, but it will take work. 2. Even though you have MSc (in CS or similar I presume) go back and do an algos class on coursera (o

It could be cleaner. My understanding is that you need different extension(s) to manipulate files requiring elevated access (e.g. sudo).

K&R. It's short, quick to get through, and the exercises are great for beginner CS. At the end you'll have a good working knowledge of C, which will act as an excellent base to move into other languages/disciplines.
