Spot on. Starfleet will be a jobs program.

Where is the fork of Rust that accepts AI contributions? We need that desperately.

The Rust language does not currently have an LLM policy, but the one under discussion is not a total ban.

I am going to a commune in Vermont and will deal with no unit of time shorter than a season.

In New England weather that could be an hour. Just this week, we've had Spring, Summer, frost warnings, and 75F+ days.

It's a quote from "The Soul of a New Machine."

Yes, I just saw that in the other thread. I still stand by it!

Surely not as favorable for the IPO as SpaceX’s own recent explosion and multiple engine failures?

If anything their one engine out unexpected but successful test boosts their position a bit.

After separation that turned into all engines out on the booster, so perhaps not.

I meant the engine on the Raptor. But yeah good point about the booster. However that's nowhere near as large of a set back as this explosion

Blowing up on the pad is incredibly worse from a design data collection perspective, a risk to life perspective, and a downstream impact to future launches perspective (nobody can use that site for a couple of months).

To be fair the last Starship to blowup on launchpad/ground was less than a year ago. It is a set back but it appears nobody has avoided this issue yet.

That was on a test stand, NOT a launchpad.

Vastly different destroying each of those.

I will give you that. Better to blow up in a test rather than ready for launch.

not to mention 7 days before it was meant to deliver a payload to space... a proper commercial payload. not just a POC payload.

The entire point of SpaceX’s recent launch was an explosion. They were aiming for that outcome. They wanted that outcome.

The fact they did it with pinpoint accuracy even with engine issues and an in tact heat shield is a monumental success for a test flight.

SpaceX also had a massive explosion on the ground not that long ago.

Absolutely, they were running a test on a test stand.

For BO it’s much better to have this now when there is no payload or people on board so they can correct whatever the issue is.

IPO must be in the works!

AI slop?

If anything AI requires more bureaucracy because it’s more unreliable than humans are. Overall, this post makes very little sense.

2 PB? They will not come close to training in on that amount. Maybe years from now.

Think they will not train on the dull 2TB but use that as the data lake to start and then apply a more targeted approach.

if you read the article 2pb is available as flash storage in the data pipeline, used to dedupe, clean, normalize, etc, for training from 60pb of raw data.

Could probably LoRA with that

Why should Linux be exempt? Linux lobbyists seem to be against the public good. It takes an AI agent 5 minutes to add this feature and then they add be good forevermore. And given that the software is open source, everyone can use the same library to be compliant. Belly-aching snowflakes…

1st amendment. There's a long history of carve outs around commercial products. But, if Linux devs (who aren't selling anything) went to the mat against this law, the government of California would lose and (at least part of) their law would be struck down.

Kids deserve free speech. There is no valid reason to deny access to them to social networks. First amendment is being breached here.

No, minors don't have a lot of rights and they have some rights adults have not. That's what it means to not be an adult.

Why should I care about being surveilled? I have nothing to hide. \s

You don't see the progress between flights, do you?

Some of his employees have died in the meantime, but that's a price Elon is more than willing to pay

Had to check this one and you're indeed right: one death in 2014[0], and one death earlier about a week ago (May 2026)[1] (as well as 600+ workplace injuries [0]).

Scaled Composites has had a few deaths, too.

Less recent that I thought: https://spacenews.com/explosion-mojave-air-and-space-port-ki...

How many deaths has Facebook or Google had in that time?

Over 100 died building the hoover dam. Over 5000 building the Panama canal, and over 30,000 if you count the failed attempt.

30,000 people trip and die in their homes per year.

70,000 Americans die per year from medication error or accidental overdose.
