My old suburban neighborhood was way worse. People acted like I was crazy for taking a walk.

Cable news is talking about gun violence and violent crime. I'm talking about traffic violence.

Our cities are so messed up that just leaving the house is stressful and time consuming. I can't walk down the street without seeing at least one car do something monstrously stupid. I've witnessed accidents, screaming, near misse

I always love to hear the opinions of developers who dip their toes back into Java. I live so deep down the Java rabbit hole that it's kind of refreshing to get fresh viewpoints.

If the only alternative to World War 3 is to allow Putin to invade whatever country he likes, then World War 3 has already started. It only takes one side to start a war.

I agree, they are doing a great job with Starship so far. I think they were overly optimistic at first (Typical Engineering Management Thing), but their Raptor engines alone are a huge advancement. The rest of Starship is coming together gr

That isn't the industry standard anymore thanks to SpaceX. Starship isn't competing with Saturn 9 and the Space Shuttle, it is competing with Falcon Heavy. If the second stage cannot be re-used then you may as well launch a much c

But is it going to be cheaper than Falcon Heavy?

I know that rectal rehydration is a good method when sterile IV fluids are not available. Hopefully it's much safer than current ventilator or ECMO treatments.

That's like bolting new wings on a 777 after every flight. It's going to cost a LOT and you won't be able to just load up fuel/passengers and take off again. I'm sure SpaceX will eventually fix the problem. They are

Booster re-usability is only the first half of the problem. It's the second stage re-usability that makes Starship viable despite its massive second stage. The re-entry heating is trashing their second stages which would make the kille

Wealth inequality has increased in South Africa, similar to other countries. But their vagueness makes the statement impossible to test.

Starship has yet to demonstrate that capability. They would need to show rapid re-usability for it to be viable. Not to mention docking and orbital re-fueling. Falcon Heavy seems to have that capability though. I suspect that Starship will

Why would that be strange? Allergies seem to have a lot to do with ethnic background, family history, and environment. For instance, shellfish allergies are more common in Asia.

There are a ton of studies that indicate that early exposure to peanuts reduces incidence of peanut allergies. I'm not sure about other allergens. https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/search-results?page=...

I suspect that they operate similar to hot air balloons. Land when the wind is going the wrong direction and then maintain altitude when it's going the right direction.

I think it's much more likely that a non-AGI platform will kill us before AGI even happens. I'm thinking the doomsday weapon from Doctor Strangelove more than Terminator.

by foxyv 1y ago
I think the best argument against us ever finding AGI is that the search space is too big and the dead ends are too many. It's like wandering through a monstrously huge maze with hundreds of very convincingly fake exits that lead to pi

That is the peak spontaneous ridership per hour. So about 22 people per minute. Probably measured during a convention or something. Most of the time it's probably half of that. So essentially they made a ride comparable to Space Mounta

Peak ridership is about 1300/hour. About how many people you can fit in two trams. Or 10 Disneyland people movers.
