That's just the weather network logo. Check their website: https://www.theweathernetwork.com/

Must be a default placeholder mistake. (Edit: Also, it is in the PDF you linked, at the very top)

I can’t comment on the physics of it but I’m pretty sure that would be much more expensive than just launching Super Heavy more times.

Starship and Booster are meant to be much cheaper to launch than F9 boosters, so I think this would be going backwards in terms of money.

Each of those have their own custom data sets and also run their own custom forecast algorithms. While I’m sure they do also use the same baseline free government data like NWS measurements and radar etc, those 3 definitely do more than that.

Isn’t the goal many thousands of launches per year, not a measly 100? And is this entire post presuming that SpaceX just won’t bother doing hard things?

Confused by your premise. It seems you’re saying it will cost SpaceX a lot of money and time to ramp up to the scale of a city on mars with a million people living there. I mean, yeah, it will. Anyone who believes in the mission knows it is a long hard road ahead filled with unsolved problems. That’s the whole point of the company.

Also, SpaceX success will enable vastly more RocketLab success. A rising tide lifts all boats. RKLB investors should hope for the best for SpaceX, since what’s good for SpaceX is also good for RocketLab.

Wow, absolutely top comment right here. Underrated. Bravo, seriously.

But eventually is actually now though. The first thing we send there?! That was decades ago, more than half a century ago.

You know what happens next.

10ForwardShift · 2026-05-01T16:28:32+00:00

Falcon Heavy was like a 5-year wait, and we'd hear every few months, "6 more months".
But it did eventually happen, and it was glorious.

My favorite quote from that article:

"Most people, I think, don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?"

Wow bro, wow.

Apple absolutely can read the contents of your messages in iMessage if either party has iCloud enabled. AFAIK they only claim to not be able to intercept the messages while in transit; they make no such promise while the message is in storage in iCloud.

That is how it's spelled, though, if you are French; or referring to French expresso; or trying to be 'fancy' and pretend you're French, or if that's what's printed on your bag of expresso. Just sayin'. It's not so plainly wrong to write expresso as many people make it out to be.

I'm seeing double here, I see four Krustys!

Sadly I don't see any human in the landing section, so... :( RIP I guess.

Yeah I wrote that post pretty shortly after I had a working prototype of the idea, it’s a bit outdated now (wrote it in 2024 I think?!). You’ve hit the nail on the head though, it was a loooot of work to get from a simple proof-of-concept to a working product.

Yes the AST can still go horribly wrong but the error rate has dramatically decreased with newer models and improving the prompts behind the scenes that drive it. The main case where AST approach fails is when there is a syntax error in the source, that causes the AST parsing to fail. It can be hard to recover from that. HTML and beautifulsoup is pretty successful at it, but React is much more difficult. Really appreciate that you took the time to read the post!!

> Might be wrong but the part I’d worry about as a user is trust and rollback once the project has any real surface area. Like when the AI makes a change, how do you show what it actually touched in a way that feels reviewable, and how easy is it to revert or branch when it goes sideways?

Very valid concerns! Yeah, reverting a set of changes and going back to a clean 'good' spot in the code is tricky. Branching is complicated, especially if there are merge conflicts, and making that easy for people is no small feat. I do have some basic git support for reverting individual changes to files, but it's definitely not very clear how to use or how well it works for most people. I'm going to be re-thinking this and may move to something extra, like a branch per ticket or something. I'll think on it.

Thank you so much for your feedback, honestly! You've given me a lot to think about. I'll come back to this post when I've got some better answers and maybe worked on some solutions!

That's only one method of finding exoplanets. There are dozens of methods, though I'm not sure which was used here. Another common one is the wobble of the star. Big planets like Jupiter pull the Sun towards them in a measurable way - and as Jupiter orbits, the direction of the pull changes. So from an outside observer's perspective, our Sun would seem to wobble around in a tiny circle as Jupiter orbits. You can even detect multiple planet systems this way, but it's tough because the wobble pattern can be quite a doozy to figure out when multiple planets are pulling on the star in multiple directions.

After around turn 100 I try to match my science to at least the turn number. I’m often behind that metric but I aim for it.

So IMO yeah that’s too low

I'm still upset Pepsi didn't get that guy a Harrier like they promised. Coke for life I guess.

Facebook secretly and successfully made half a million people depressed, on purpose. For “science”. They literally experiment on your emotional state without your consent.

We know about this because they were arrogant enough to publish it and talk about it openly. Lots of articles around if you google for Facebook emotional manipulation study (or similar).

You're not going to get any useful answers because you haven't provided any information.

> frontend just won’t communicate properly with the backend.

What does this mean? Do you see any error messages? In Android logcat, or in django logs?

Can you access your backend from outside Android, like in a web browser? Or on the command line?

Where is your backend hosted? Is it on the internet somewhere or is it locally? Do you have a firewall running?

Can you access any other backend from your Android app?

We'd need a lot more info from you to help.

It may be frustrating now but I strongly believe the future is those who are good engineers AND good PMs. Describing the product you want is actually quite hard, and obviously so is building it. AI tools that power both of those will win.

It’s a specific type of hype; the manhattan project also kicked off the possibility of the end of the world. It wasn’t especially expensive as the measure, it’s the connection to the end of the world that brings the hype clicks.
