You keep stating that spaceX only really does software, not hardware. Re-linking my earlier response about Raptor engines: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33620423 They are the only current player building with stainl

Starship is very real and did an 11 engine static fire last week. I have a hard time understanding the stance of “if it’s not ready exactly when SLS launches then it’s not comparable.” We are talking about decade spanning technologies and i

Raptor is a breakthrough engine. If NASA with nation state resources and 23B is 6 years late, let’s cut SpaceX some slack for building a profitable launch business with multiple successful vehicles while also being very close with Starship.

Replace rocket with 747. It’s hard to be excited about a new 747 from Boeing that flies one way and then you throw it away. Artemis is not changing the economics of space in any way. Just going back to the moon is not very interesting IMO.

SpaceX is making significant breakthroughs that you can appreciate if you understand the tech. > As of 2019, only three full-flow staged combustion rocket engines had ever progressed sufficiently to be tested on test stands; the Soviet E

I've always wondered, what if you were to wire up a panel and one light to the grid, but the then rest of the house is on a separate independent circuit? Technically the house is on-grid...

I only see one role here that is even ballpark for a SWE in SF. https://h1bdata.info/index.php?em=&job=software+developer&ci... The prevailing wage test fails to account for stock and bonuses and is basically a joke

Our devs aren't cleaning their machines - it goes to Apple. As long as their techs can do it it matters not. Its cheaper that way anyway. This design optimizes for the rest of the (365 * 3) - 1 days that the machine takes less space on

I’m not trying to compare the details of SOC performance. Just that with the same hot caches, the average change-build-test loop that developers do 100+ times a day is just faster on the M1 Max.

The target arch doesn’t matter for the change-build-test loop d vs do. All that matters is how fast can you compile your code to test it. If the final x86 production build takes longer it doesn’t matter - that happens on the cloud anyway. E

Osmos.io is built on Rust so that’s LLVM. No commercial vendor involved. There is Mold ( https://github.com/rui314/mold ) as an alternative but it doesn’t support MacOS yet and that’s a blocker for our team.

I'll try and answer that to an extent here :) Lots of companies trying to build low-code solutions to help business people glue systems together. However, for pretty much all of these solutions, while the end user isn't writing co

100% agreed that people are performing higher level functions today that software can't perform. However, I think your first point about multi-system interconnectivity is ripe for change. It's been the case that the literal act of
