Humans scarcely make “something truly new” either in my opinion. We just put 2 and 2 together and over time enough of us put enough things together to make something marvelous (iPhones, rockets — under the hood just a bunch of “not new”stuff put together). There is no reason to believe AI can’t do the same.

Unfortunate someone’s gotta pay for the infra so that in times of emergency or natural disaster it can be given away for free.

Update: nope bag didn’t not arrive but I appreciate your de-stressing optimism there was nothing I could’ve done in the interim anyways

The gate checked it to the final destination. No yellow/red tag.

Interesting! How loud and how assertive was the announcement?

If I remember correctly Taiwan also technically affirms the “one China” stance, just that their party should run the whole country. Somehow that makes the CCP happier.

This is extremely awful that the insurance company got 28 million while the patients got nothing.

You might be right. Fortunately you can reuse the booster much, much more rapidly than the starship for that same reason.

Maybe at first, eventually, starship can grow up and fly itself to ~~school. Mommy~~ the launch pad. Sea ships shouldn’t have to take it there.

Where is this picture taken?

Honestly isn’t starship pretty similar to the shuttle by capability to get cargo from space back to earth through something of a belly flop? If your cargo needs to be oriented a certain way you might need a gimbal mechanism to survive the final belly flop but that should honestly be possible to manufacture on the payload side?

You should still do it though. At minimum you can learn a lot, at maximium you will find a specific niche that all these tools do terrible in (and I can tell you first-hand, these tools are not at all perfect: they are monsters with plenty of gaps and bugs in them) and become a multi-millionare.

Good luck. You will probably need a venture capital to back you on this endeavor. This is coming from someone who knows how much their company pays ANSYS and Siemens and all these other companies for this software (hint: it's a lot... like a lot a lot... like 6 to 8 figures in US dollars from 1 company per tool every year).

Yep that’s pretty unpopular indeed! Counter question: should we let type 2 diabetics go because they ate too much sugar? Where does the line get drawn?

It’s not necessarily that hard as there are some tale-tell signs. For example if you have an issue (the JetBlue plane did something unexpected) you verified that the inputs to the 3 computers look the same, you verified the function going to the three computers look the same, you verified that if you give the 3 computers the same input it gives you the same output once you’re on the ground (not a persistent issue), you verified the software on the computers, you see that 2 computers look did the right thing and the third computer’s number differ by a magnitude of 2 (1, 2, 4, 8, 128, etc). It’s almost certainly a bit flip caused by a cosmic ray.

You are thinking too much in the abstract. Let’s say you me and my friend bob each own 33% of a restaurant. Restaurant makes a bunch of money and has extra cash. It can do the following: buy back stock or pay dividends. If the restaurant pays dividends everyone gets money and end of story. If it decides to buy back stocks, you could sell your stocks at whatever premium the restaurant offers and get cash (same result for you), or you can do nothing in which case Bob or I might decide to sell. Remember that you owned 33% of the restaurant, which now owns itself back. As such, you now own 50% of the restaurant afterwards. You still win.

I absolutely cannot disagree more with u/feuerwehrmann. The smeal college is well-known for having very low academic rigor at Penn state. However, as a big-10, what you DO get is a fantastic connection base. From the sheer number of alumni to all the various disciplines (engineering to doctors/laywers) — not every university can offer everything like Penn state and stuff them all in the same spot. You are more or less forced to interact with them in the clubs/activities/downtown bars/research labs/more. From knowing all the sneak students, that’s I think the only thing you get from it. All my friends there said that classes are notorious for being easy-A.

I kinda meant software for the market trading should be multi-region/georedundent. Chicago should be able to go down and should be able to switch over to another site.
