If NASA can't function in the face of meddling congress critters, it is not fit for purpose. Nothing I said above is incorrect or refuted in that article.

What do you call it when people supporting an authoritarian deflect to their pet issue because they think it owns the libs? You don't get to ignore due process just because crimes are alleged. That's the whole fucking point of due

The most secure thing would be to unplug the servers. edit: I'm agreeing with parent. Availability is part of security. If it weren't, you could unplug the server and call it a day.

There is very little incentive to actually do information security correctly - because hardly anyone can tell if you have - consequently there are very few people who try. It is all just theater to cover their asses, and they'll admit

That's right. NASA's assigned piece was to build a rocket that could fly to the moon. They agreed to do it, and they spent the money. They have not built the rocket and never intended to.

Yeah I don't get to choose what I work on either. I still try to actually do what I have promised to do.

What do you call it when people are rounded up and sent to a gulag in El Salvador without due process? What do you call it when monies appropriated by Congress that literally kept starving people alive in other parts of the world, are unila

The article is concerned with the fact that NASA is incapable of fulfilling its missions. It says NASA has spent $100B on a moon rocket that cannot go to the moon and will not go to the moon. NASA is worth saving not because someone is talk

Aren’t there papers showing that there is some kind of world model emerging? Like representations of an Othello board that we would recognize were found and manipulated successfully in a small model.

For us it was only API down most of the day. We didn't have to deploy anything or fix anything, so we almost got away without downtime. But then, about 7 hours in (~1:40 PM EDT) for about 30 minutes all web requests were failing with a

Work on product is typically classified as R&D expense. R&D salaries are considered to be developing a capital asset that will yield returns for years. So the costs of it also are amortized over years. Bog standard accounting. The p

I'd probably join Slack early, successfully rail against Electron and kill the whole company.

I would love to see someone try this. I would guess 85-90% of undergrads would fill out the whole test, but not everyone. There are some people who believe the things that they know.

Yes I feel the same way. But I worry about my kids. My 15-year old son wanted to go into software engineering and work for a game studio. I think I'll advocate civil engineering, but for someone who will still be working 50 years from

That's what it meant 8 years ago. Now SRE is just a synonym for "devops" which now is a synonym for "sysadmin" in most companies. You won't have both devops and SREs in most orgs, and you won't have any de

You can call a lot of things a web app, but there are ones that you absolutely shouldn't make with PHP & jQuery, you will hit a point where that architecture becomes much harder to reason about because you've got state and beh

I had the same thought; its harder to ignore how long you've been on one task or sub-task when using this technique, and you've got a reminder to take a break. Sometimes ignoring the end of the timer to finish what you are doing w

Great lets have another thread with people who make websites arguing with people who make web apps.

The point is multiple people sharing facilities get discounts. It’s nothing more sinister than that. The hotel charges per room, and rooms include facilities. The costs for the hotel don’t depend on how many people are staying in that room.

So you think the police haven't arrested him and charged him? Its an experiment for an NBC affiliate to report complete falsehoods about their local police department and hope the department doesn't call them out on it?

The only thing they have of value is the ChatGPT brand. They have no moat, and AI needs to be embedded in products to have value. OpenAI doesn't sell any products, and anyone can sell tokens through an API.

They know people don't want it, they just hope to be able to convince them otherwise because right now OpenAI is a feature, and not a product. The real money is in owning a product platform and so executives are forced to pitch some pr

This tracks for me. Its tempting to see LLMs as a superpower that makes it possible to use any programming language or platform, but I have much better results in platforms I know intimately...and I think this is largely because I'm us

OpenAI is hardly a Goliath. It has no real moat, and is trying to build a business around a feature. But other businesses already have platforms with billions of users to deploy those features to.
