The funny thing is, I think anyone that has managed a high performing development team before knows this. I felt my skills atrophy and fought hard to get them back.

VP of Firefly quoted here referring to "subsidized cost-per-kilo model" for launch wrt SpaceX. Is everyone coming around to the fact (or finally willing to state publicly) that Falcon 9 was never as cheap as claimed, and that SpaceX has been doing venture backed predatory pricing for a decade?

Beautiful. I started on that project in 2020 when everything was PowerPoint and Excel and napkin sketches. (okay, not really, but close.) So incredible seeing it built.

Super excited about this space generally. LLMs, at least the "language" part, are powerful general purpose tools, but the breadth of their output can also be a hindrance in probability space and cost. Similar architectures being more domain specific will be pretty interesting to watch.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

$78 million per crew member, roughly the top end of what the Russians were charging for Soyuz seats after many years of increases and watching NASA just eat it all. "Only ride in town" prices.

The problem is that "while you weren't looking the tech industry was comprehensively taken over by a cult based around a piece of Harry Potter fanfic" is self-evidently an absolutely ridiculous claim that can't possibly have happened, which is a real problem given that it 100% did happen.

Distilling this gets me to what software has started calling cognitive debt (queue.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3807966). Math, like software and like other fields, will have to deal with the cognitive debt associated with LLM use.

84 knots at the end of the runway (30L/12R) when it hit the fence. I don’t know if 30/12 has EMAS, but I doubt it Touchdown was about 170 so, It WAS slowing down, it scrubbed off about a hundred knots of speed

Quite surprised they aren't doing an ascending node reentry. Descending node was rare ish for Shuttle, but luckily was done on STS-107; debris recovery was crucial to most of the investigation, and would've been far harder otherwise.

I'm still most astonished by William Shatner's journey on this front. Born in 1931, over a decade before even military missiles made the first brief forays above our atmosphere. In his 20's for Gagarin. Lived long enough to receive a phone call, "want to go to space in a few months?" and did it.
