I've noticed that a lot of the "die-hard MAGA" discourse around tariffs has been "we need to do this within the US and if we can't, we simply don't need to do it at all". I'm not suggesting that you&#

Just saying that the US should be doing it domestically and companies aren't interested isn't useful. It's kind of like saying "young people just don't want to work hard anymore!".

This attitude is dumb, people don't just have one thing open on their machine at a time. If you're designing software like a music player (that is, something people are likely to want to keep running in the background while doing

It's been a little over a decade since I lived there, and yes, it was not all that crazy. As a foreigner I was generally expected to stay away from big protests when they flared up, and internet connectivity sucked (though this was als

Yeah, haven't managed to convince any friends to switch, though for me it was convincing enough to have it pointed out that the subscription price basically replaces the data collection based income of a search engine.

They've been testing some active cooling tiles (believed to be responsible for the orange residue on the heat shield after reentry in this latest test), but otherwise the only "active cooling" of the skin would be due to the

Ah, that makes sense!

I thought that while the spare tiles did exist, there was never an actual safe procedure for replacing tiles (that didn't require being docked to the ISS) they were only carried to be available when the choice was between losing the en

The push for rapid reusability seems somewhat at odds with the push for large scale production of ships. It seems like if they can get boosters to rapid reuse (a much easier goal), and churn out ships at sufficient scale, they can afford to

The intention is to need minimal to no replacement between flights. Part of the purpose of these tests is to figure out how to do that. The tiles themselves work fine, but how to best mount them? where do you need them? Can you make them th

IIRC they have pressure vessels in the lower fins with some of the gasses they need. Maybe one of those was damaged and burst. To me it looked like something blew out the bottom of one of the fins (maybe got too hot) and hit the skirt.

The walls are 3mm thick steel, they're very likely to buckle and tear when it tips over, the residual methane vapor gets out and there are plenty of sources of heat to ignite it. They don't claim to have any plans of recovering th

If you're focusing on ideology, it isn't like the other companies are all that good. With Sam Altman you're still working for a pathological liar with delusions of grandeur. With Google and Meta you're propping up a mass

I don't actually hear people call it vibe coding as much as I did back in late 2024/early 2025. Sure there are many more people building slop with AI now, but I meant the peak of "vibe coding" being parroted around every

Looks like I misremembered the shutting down bit, but it was this guy: https://twitter.com/leojr94_/status/1901560276488511759 Seems like he's still going on about being able to replicate billion dollar compa

Probably similar to the guy who was gloating on Twitter about building a service with vibe coding and without any programming knowledge around the peak of the vibe coding madness. Only for people to start screwing around with his database a

I think this may be too much of a "literal" interpretation of OSS without really considering the social contract many OSS supporters believe in, wherein users of OSS will act in good faith and might eventually reciprocate for the

I really appreciate you going into so much detail about your considerations, as Japan is one of the places I'm seriously considering for research after my postdoc. I have some basic Japanese down and am aiming to build up more in the t

I get that you're joking, but I wonder if it could just be that we happen to be passing through some sort of interstellar debris cloud.

I broadly agree, though I wonder if part of the reason why Americans think that going to other countries might be a very difficult decision is that if they aren't immigrants or children of immigrants, they have a very limited experienc

There's a lot of overlap between science and engineering, a lot of the things being affected by the cuts would be engineering by your definition. E.g. designing scientific instruments. The fundamental physics and chemistry can be well

It's worth considering that there's still a chance that the cuts end up being more limited than proposed. Kind of like the tariffs or the Tiktok ban that's totally going to go into effect after the most recent extended grace

To be fair, there are still many well funded private research labs, they just focus on "sexy" easy-to-market science like quantum computing, photonics, deep learning, robotics etc.

A decent chunk of the grant money goes to the university, and a chunk of the money used to pay the students also loops back to the university in the form of non-tuition fees, rent etc.

This has definitely been my feeling too as a fresh postdoc. For a while it has been feeling more and more like the US isn't worth the effort and stress. Sure, I make more money here, but is it worth dealing with nonsensical immigration
