Predictions are much less bold these days. Gwynne said at the FAA/CSF event in Feb 2023, “I don’t think we will do 100 flights of Starship next year, but maybe 2025 we will do 100 flights.” She also said “they’d do 100 flights before it carries people for the first time”.

Huge reveal from the guy who spent years attributing the strength of his nocturnal erections to eating lettuce and limiting his exposure to blue light

I take Cialis, but not for sex.
It’s actually a longevity medicine.
Cialis (Tadalafil) is great for the same reason it gives you fantastic erections… it improves blood flow.
Studies show that Tadalafil…
34% reduced all-cause mortality
27% reduced major heart disease
34% reduced stroke
32% reduced dementia
It has also shown benefit in insulin sensitivity, metabolic health, and reduction of body fat.
Women have blood vessels too, so theoretically they'd get the same longevity upside. The research is thinner, but early signals are promising.
It’s sad that when men and women could benefit from it can miss out because it’s taboo.
My protocol is 5mg daily and I've been on it for about two years.

Everyone always talking about “talent density” in Silicon Valley when we really should be talking about how 80% of pretzels in America come from a small region of Pennsylvania

Academic writing should be addressed neither to the public nor to other academics. It should be addressed to a single interlocutor with whom you have a petty rivalry and whose work you are trying to discredit

Just got a “silver alert” which is a good reminder that California decided to racially segregate its missing person alert system for some reason.

NEW: malware developers added nuclear & biological weapons text to to their spyware.
Goal? To trigger LLM safety refusals... so that their spyware wouldn't be analyzed by an AI security scanner.
Cleanest practical example I can think of for why over-indexing on first order safety alignment is risky.
When closed (and open) models ship with aggressive refusals, they will be sprinkled with second-order blindspots that attackers will discover...and exploit.
We are only in the earliest days of attackers leveraging these features, and it wouldn't surprise me if users systems that need to handle complex cybersecurity issues demand that models be less safety-blunted.
In the weeds: @SocketSecurity's post also shows why intention matters in how you design a malware analysis pipeline to avoid prompt manipulation.
H/T to colleagues that shared this with me socket.dev/blog/mini-shai-hu…

I like that the daily NJTRANSIT tweet announcing their failure to provide service always throws Amtrak under the bus. (They can't throw them under the train since it's not running)

(1/2) Following earlier Amtrak overhead wire issues in Penn Station New York, NJ TRANSIT rail service is operating on or close to schedule, with residual delays to trains already enroute, into and out of Penn Station New York.

Since people are arguing about the Trinity, I'd like to see anyone explain it without recreating a named and condemned heresy.

Axiom Space has teamed up again with @Prada to introduce the Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG), the innermost layer within the #AxEMU spacesuit that is designed to protect astronauts from the elements when they explore the lunar surface for the first time in more than 50 years.
The LCVG collaboration draws on Prada's expertise in engineered knitting and innovative design concepts, resulting in a next-generation garment that maintains cooling and ventilation while enhancing comfort during up to eight-hour spacewalks.
Collaborating with industry pioneers like Prada allows us to combine our technical expertise with leaders across different sectors, fostering innovation and teamwork to deliver advanced technologies that will return America to the Moon.
