That's a lot of words saying nothing. Russia invaded a sovereign country, that is the fault of Russia alone. Ukraine is defending itself, which is their right according to international law. And helping another country defend itself is

You could expect them to build adequate measures to limit damage like flame trenches and water deluge systems. And to build new rocket launch facilities in suitable areas with sufficient distance to cities.

This is a bit of spin by SpaceX. Blowing up the pad would be a serious failure and would be a large and costly setback. But they obviously didn't achieve the goal of the test flight here. It is a test flight, so it's not a complet

That was a display of the telemetry, so it indicated the actual status of the engines as far as I understand. If they had intentionally disabled some engines, they would have mentioned that on the stream.

Those were in an irregular pattern and not balanced. I'm pretty sure those were actual engine failures and not intentional shutdown.

While it is obviously a test flight and failure was a likely possibility, this looked a bit worse than I had expected. There were I think at least 5 engines out on the first stage, so quite a lot of engine failures. It's impressive it

When it exploded it was already very clear that stage separation had failed previously. So the disappointing part was 10-20 seconds before, the final explosion was inevitable, and well it was an explosion so it looked nice.

I would suspect that the company is too small to train their own LLM from scratch. But Stack Overflow probably has too much traffic to just pay for something like the ChatGPT API and built something on top of it. I'm not sure how many

That's nothing for a meta post with an unpopular announcement, there are quite a few with hundreds of downvotes. But yes, this does likely indicate something about how the active SE users feel about this. It doesn't help that the

This is not a proposal that is intended to actually happen, this is just to get into the news.

The politician in question here, Markus Söder strongly argued for shutting down nuclear power plants after Fukushima. This is not in any way a principled policy, this is pure populism. Bavaria is also vehemently blocking any attempt to put

Posts that are critical of Musk do get flagged quite often in my observation, e.g. posts around various pieces of Twitter drama caused by Musk. That part is intentional by HN, as these posts tend to produce rather low quality discussions an

Hmm, so it seems there is a water deluge system in contrast to the claims in the article. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsbnYp0FYKU But to me that look dramatically undersized if you look at the Kennedy Space Center one (

One thing that surprised me reading the article is that Boca Chica doesn't have a water deluge system. I somehow expected that this would be standard once development moves beyond the early prototypes. If the noise levels are off by 20

Germany exports more power than it imports. And France is only a part of the imports, with 2022 being much lower due to their issues with the nuclear power plants. https://www.destatis.de/DE/Presse/Pressemitteilung

I think you are dramatically underestimating the speed of Postgres here if you think it breaks > 1 job/s. That's nowhere close to the point where you'd run into trouble with Postgres.

There's a pretty large area between "trivially tiny" and "so large that a single Postgres instance on reasonable hardware can't handle it anymore".

My understanding is that a naive implementation essentially serializes access to the queue table. So it works, but no matter how many requests you make in parallel, only one will be served at a time (unless you have a random component in th

I can switch out the SSD easily on regular notebooks, and in most notebooks I bought I did that as it was easier to match the specs to what I want that way. I cannot do that on a MacBook, so the huge cost for larger RAM and SSD is a big dis

Just looked at it, and it certainly is. I mean Apple was always more expensive, but the difference is just huge now. For me 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD is kind of the minimum (I would buy 32GB RAM if I can get it for a fair price). I can get that

Stack Overflow is probably one of the more public examples. That is mostly a C# monolith with a relational database behind it.
