In 2014 it wasn't all that obvious yet that the future internet would largely abandon the Web and become mostly apps talking to JSON APIs.

What internet are you talking about that has abandoned the web?

Most people use both apps and websites.

Websites haven't gone anywhere. How do you use the internet from your laptop or desktop?

Many browsers don't even show the URL anymore, so websites remain a powerful part of the Internet but domain names? Not so much, anymore.

Browsers that don't show the full URL are only showing the domain name.

So I don't understand what you're trying to say. The domain name is actually more prominent, to help a little bit against phishing.

"import pytorch" is the new "if-else".

We can do both at the same time.

Are you working on X11 though?

Just like any other LLM.

It's a positive and a negative.

It makes people less happy, sure.

But it's also the reason why German machinery has the good reputation it has. Because even if it works pretty great already, somebody will find a detail to "complain" about and improve it.

There is a tiler who lives in a region that houses engineers of companies like Audi and Siemens. Apparently these folks take their habit of being so extremely strict, the same habit that is the base for Germany's economic success and that creates high quality cars and other products, to their homes too. It ends up in requirements are so unrealistic that this tiler ended up not accepting requests from the employees of these two companies.

Does it make them less happy, or just appear to be less happy when compared to people who keep the same irritations inside?

Or, to quote grandpa Simpson: "You only think you're happy, but you're not!"

Musk did an interview with Sandy Munro about it. Worth watching.

It uses methane and oxygen, could that be easily mass produced from solar or hydro? It may turn out better than burning fossil fuel in a plane. Just a thought, no idea if true or not.

Also, Starship doesn't need pilots, so freight transport could be automated.

On the other hand, I wonder about noise emission. Probably much louder than planes.

Isn't the sun doing that already pretty successfully?

The idea is to be more efficient with harvesting it into electricity and beaming it down in wavelengths less absorbed by the atmosphere.

It also allows for power production without weather getting in the way. So in some hypothetical space solar based future, a rainy region might still be able to rely on solar by having energy beamed down to a farther out station.

Although yeah, there's so much room down here to place panels that doing it from space is probably not economically worthwhile just yet.

Also, sunlight intercepted outside of earths footprint (e.g. further ahead, or behind, earths orbit around the sun) will receive/redirect light that otherwise wouldn't reach us.

There are benefits, such as increased insolation and decreased ecological impact under installed panels.

Obviously there are a bunch of downsides, because space.

> downsides

I dread the weaponization of this tech.

If they have password and 2FA on the same device, then it's not 2FA. Tell them to get an external TOTP generator, at least.

Most people need access to their password manager through their smartphone. Having an external TOTP generator do not help much if said system also allow fallback to calling or sending an SMS, which most do in case TOTP generator is lost.

So in many case 2FA is broken unless you decorelate access to app/password and sim card, which mean accessing your apps/systems through a second device instead of your main phone such as another simless phone, laptop, ipod touch, or tablet. Most people would never do that for conveniency reason...But in that case the same search rules/laws apply to second device anyway so it doesn't change anything to the core issue.
