Op-Ed: The Load Bearing Rocket, A Falcon 9 Analysishttps://www.spacescout.info/2024/01/load-bearing-rocket/While NASA and its international partners look to the Moon and beyond under the Artemis Program, the mid to late 2020s will see a dramatic shift to the landscape of Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The International Space Station, which has served as the hub of human space exploration for 25 years, is going to be retired. The precise timing of the ISS’ retirement has become somewhat dubious recently; different involved parties have differing opinions on how long the station can be made to last, but one thing remains clear: the future of LEO stations will be commercial in nature. Under the Commercial LEO Destinations program at least two privately operated space stations will be in place by the time the ISS is deorbited, assuming all goes to plan. Privately developed, launched, and assembled space stations will be maintained by privately operated crew and cargo spacecraft, a dramatic shift from the landscape the ISS was born from. The emergence of private space stations remains a part of years yeJan 29, 2024 4:30 PM

Open source AI need to look at Section 4.6 of Biden's Executive Orderhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38107077The open source AI community seems to have picked up on the statements in Bidens executive order stating, "... if it requires a quantity of computing power greater than 1026 integer or floating-point operations and is trained on a computing cluster that has a set of machines physically co-located in a single datacenter, transitively connected by data center networking of over 100 Gbit/s, and having a theoretical maximum compute capacity of 1020 integer or floating-point operations per second for training AI"However, this isn't an ohh, open source AI and Local LLM community will be fine, there's also section 4.6, which reads:``` 4.6. Soliciting Input on Dual-Use Foundation Models with Widely Available Model Weights. When the weights for a dual-use foundation model are widely available — such as when they are publicly posted on the Internet — there can be substantial benefits to innovation, but also substantial security risks, such as the removal of safeguards within the model.

Disney – DEI requires a history of privilegehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37876610For background, I am currently a Principal Engineer at a close to FAANG level company, with 16 years of experience in the software industry and a college drop out. I had my own startup for 11 years, chased VC funding, managed and scaled software teams, and scaled software systems to millions of daily active users.I decided it was time for a change so I applied for some lead software engineering roles at Disney. Today I had a phone screening that lasted about 10 minutes. The second the recruiter asked about my highest form of education and I responded that I am a drop out, I could hear the hesitation in her voice so I asked if that was a deal breaker. Of course it was, but based on the years of experience they can see if I still map to the role.Unfortunately after she did the math my 16 years of experience with no degree only qualifies for a junior engineering role across all of Disney Engineering. To even qualify for a senior role, I needed 17 years of experience, and the lead role i aOct 13, 2023 11:11 PM

Show HN: Launching a new home-grown embedding LLM for RAGhttps://vectara.com/how-boomerang-takes-retrieval-augmented-generation-to-the-next-level-via-grounded-generation/Hi HN!Vectara is a "batteries included" retrieval augmented generation platform. You can upload your rich text documents like PDFs, HTML pages, word docs, etc, or semi-structured JSON and Vectara handles the text and metadata extraction, segmentation, vector embedding, and vector storage, and keyword storage. You can ask a question or perform a search in the UI or via our APIs and Vectara will automatically handle the vectorization, structured metadata filtering, vector+keyword retrieval, hybrid blending, and generative summarization of the results. We're focusing on building and operationalizing the complex infrastructure for vector storage, hybrid retrieval, and generative summarization so you can use fairly high-level APIs and focus on building your own applications.We know that retrieval accuracy is incredibly important for RAG: garbage in, garbage out. We've seen a lot of projects not spend enough time on really getting the retrieval model right and wasting a lot of time/money witSep 28, 2023 3:06 PM

The Race for More Space: The flawed logic behind making space a 17th Critical Infrastructurehttps://spacenews.com/the-race-for-more-space/A bipartisan group of lawmakers recently introduced the Space Infrastructure Act, which pursues a recommendation made by the Cyberspace Solarium Commission 2.0 to designate space as the 17th U.S. critical infrastructure sector. While it’s encouraging to see Congress considering this issue seriously, designating space as a critical infrastructure sector puts form over substance and would not actually address the risk posed by adversaries like China and Russia or from natural phenomena such as space weather.Sep 26, 2023 4:21 PM

Chick-Fil-A LAN Partyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37476576Just saw the post about LAN parties from a few days ago and thought this story might be unique enough to share.I worked at Chick-Fil-A for a year or so in high school. One of the ones in a free standing building in the middle of a much larger shopping center parking lot- bordering the interstate. A group of 6-7 of us employees, INCLUDING the General Manager, were big gamers.At the time, Call of Duty releases were all the rage. The night of the Modern Warfare 2 release, we all closed up at 10pm, invited a few of our friends, and brought in our monitors (mostly 40inch TVs) and Xboxes. We set them all up on the Chick-Fil-A tables and booths and made several batches of Chick-fil-A nuggets and fries. We played 6v6 from about 11:00pm - 4:00am.I remember thinking how ridiculous it must have looked from the interstate to see a Chick-Fil-A lit up with 12 big screens inside through those translucent shades at 2:00 in the morning on a weekday.That is one of the greater memories of my childhood.
