I think the actual best footage of the launch was from Everyday Astronaut on youtube, including a great shot of the booster separation

Here is the Engineering Camera Video feed from the horses mouth.

In case you haven't seen, AI-written comments were recently banned here

It's because it's AI written with all the usual over-the-top grandeur and a ridiculous number of negative parallelisms.

I'm not interested in what an LLM thinks about the social implications of LLMs.

This isn't really on you but the problem I have with comments like this is that I think most people write poorly so I can't tell if those are LLM artifacts or LinkedIn-speak artifacts. I need better heuristics for these things.

Yep disk space and learning curve are the two major downsides to Nix. The former has never been a problem for me in practice, just run garbage collection once a month. The latter was a big problem, but is now mitigated for most people by LLMs.

Disk space is not an issue as long as you don't try to install the entirety of Texlive.

LLMs are a real gamechanger for Nix, highly recommend giving it a go again.

Both of the serious ones are not specific to Japan, I got told off in China for standing chopsticks up in rice. I suspect anywhere with a significant Buddhist population will have the same taboo.

The most embarrassing part of that article is the comment section. Not a single dissenting voice.

I’ve been frustrated by this for years, you just know that if there was a mobile data deadzone on a motorway they’d fix it immediately.

Meanwhile on the train 30 miles from London, nothing.

Because people aren’t objects.

Just to play devil’s advocate, I have found prediction markets genuinely useful despite never placing a bet.

In 2024 all of my social media feed was convinced the US election was going to go the other way. I have left wing politics and accordingly the algorithm wraps me in a bubble. It was all videos of empty trump rallies and Kamala hype. Polymarket was the main counter signal I had that the election wasn’t going to go the way I hoped.

Similarly when the room temperature super-conductor hype was happening in 2023, the prediction market for it being real never went above 25%. It’s extremely useful to be able to look at that as a layman and go “ok this probably isn’t real”.
