Codex is down for me too. Status page is very funny - claiming "We’re fully operational" while https://chatgpt.com gives 404, lol.

Gemini (free) throws errors for me too. EDIT: it was just 3.6 Flash, 3.1 Pro works it seems.

Starlink was also ridiculed. "Some upstart beating industry veteran at crewed spaceflight" was also treated as a ridiculous idea (see extra funding Boeing was able to extract from congress). But all those massive successes are Spa

I am super bearish on Tesla but I still would take the side of "not going under" of that bet. The factories have value, and once the brand is de-Musk'd, it can have value too. So most likely scenario is being bought out by so

Just a nitpick: Nero was nowhere close to "the end of the Roman Empire".

Well SpaceX does not need outside financing anymore, even while continuing to build out Starlink and developing Starship. Seems like a bold claim to say Starlink is not profitable. But it is still not a business you would want to be in, bec

Maybe it is not exactly culture-specific, but most of your post definitely sounds to me like "walking on eggshells" stavros mentioned. Tbh I agree that your citation of Linus' email was an example of not exactly productive co

I have not seen anyone else claim that Ukraine is not an European country. As for chance / motive to invade other European countries - for some reason Baltic states feel very threatened by Russia. Try to understand their reasons why.

You still seem to confuse concepts of dominance and leadership, similarly how your opponents in the debate confuse dominance and violence. But I would agree with them that leadership does not require dominance.

So you are saying Hamas would have same domestic support if Gaza was economically at the level of e.g. Slovenia? People who complained about "open air prison" caused by Israeli "occupation" even before Oct 7 would disagr

That actually shows that helping poor people would help black the most. So why not do it?

Isn't the point of OP of this thread that most of those wart-fixes are pointless? I tend to agree, if you can't sell it as a ticket you probably shouldn't work on it. And "boyscout" PRs are pain to review.

The confounding is natural - If you even think about investing, then having a financial cushion is the best investment to de-risk your life. If you don't, you are screwed either way.

Shuttle was heavy rocket. Decent in quite a few metrics. Also the arguments about not having heavy rockets has nothing to do with engines, it's either "we don't need them" or "just use propellant depots". Witho

Wanting F-1 capable engine is like wanting exact recreation of combat performance of F-4. No one involved has cared about that for more than 40 years. Just people who don't understand the tradeoffs so they judge stuff based on silly he

Starlink (v2 sats in particular) alone justifies Starship. Include HLS and potential Mars stuff and the comparison does not make sense. Don't listen to people who hate on SpaceX because of Musk. If you want to hate on him pick any AI-r

Czechia did not have demographic collapse, and actually got fair bit of immigration from other Slavic countries, mainly Slovakia & Ukraine (pre-war, post we got even more obviously).

It is not simple. Carbon tax is useless without carbon tariffs, which have high political costs. Not to mention without any kind of carbon dividends the whole scheme would be extremely unpopular. So everyone is just pushing half solutions a

Well sure, I like Europe employment more too. But SpaceX is not operating in Europe, and this is probably not the opportunity to change the entire system?
