> Moving from program approval to development testing in just 11 months, Northstar demonstrates Blue Origin’s ability to rapidly iterate and deliver advanced propulsion systems.

that doesn't demonstrate their ability to deliver.

BE-4 went into development testing in 2014 and said it would be ready for flight in 2017. In reality, 2017 saw the first test fire, and it was 2019 before the first full thrust test fire happened. In the end BE-4 didn't fly until 2024.

in fairness, BE-4 took 3 years to go from approval to development testing, so 11 months is impressive.

maybe this means they sorted out some of the organizational/cultural issues bogging them down?


what was Arc's business model even?


uber for browsing the web


It was based on a future "Arc for Teams" offering and a "Boosts" (= browsing personalizations) marketplace: https://youtu.be/eVda3zFLlhc?si=a7avuRAqq2KlvpG5&t=338


this is my main blocker to Jellyfin too. if it were just me, no problem. but my (divorced, over 60y/o) parents and my sister's family use my plex too. each of them has some mix of LG, Samsung, Roku, Android, and Apple devices. they all live half way across the country.

every time i've checked in with Jellyfin, the ecosystem has been way too fragmented to consider migrating.


whatever polls well over the next few months probably


Carney and his diplomats have been having high-level talks along these lines with a bunch of EU member states for the last few months at least. That's atypical even. WSJ quoted French diplomats as essentially saying, "this is moving very quickly all of a sudden".

Carney and von der Leyen haven't really talked about what this would mean but it seems safe to assume that they (plus leaders of the major EU member states) have been talking about it, at least in broad strokes.


more than a half dozen Canadians have already competed in Eurovision, including one winner (Céline Dion). has Australia ever won?


Australia has managed a 2nd and a 4th from 11 entrants. Our voting participation is quite low though, as the voting windows are usually at awkward AEST times and the main Australian broadcast of the contest is delayed until our primetime.


You can't vote for your own country so Australian bedtime is irrelevant.


I'd get a foldable if the "exterior" screen was eink (and it didn't cost $1500+)


I went back to school recently to get a degree after 20yrs in the industry. It's hard to overstate how helpful it is to able to open ChatGPT and ask "ok but why?" ad infinitum like children do.


OP here. I'm doing the same and I congratulate you for this. I also agree that AI is an incredibly powerful tool if used in the correct way, although I implemented a RAG and fed it with materials that I find qualitatively superior. Now it works even better.


Can you expand on this a bit? Shouldn't you be asking and then through study ,reading, exploration and testing answering your "ok but why" question? I could be misunderstanding what your stating but this would read as being "spoon fed" the answers not curiosity and problem solving, which in most cases is what a higher education is really teaching.

In comparison if you want just structured exercises with known answers, which in cases where you have been in an industry for a while maybe what you are looking for, thats boot camps and certificates.


I considered going back and finally getting a degree, but ultimately decided against it. It takes too much time and probably offers too little value compared to my experience. I might do it if I could speedrun it, but it sounds like you're not meant to do that.

Ultimately, I learn more by studying it myself. Nothing I was formally taught ever went as deep as the things I chose to dive into.


What made you want to do that btw?


"the perfect slice, every time" is a solved problem: https://youtu.be/1OfxlSG6q5Y?si=xXZJalyPrQggC1xo

butter application is still unsolved AFAIK, though I'm sure there's a robotics company out there hard at work on it.


it's from the mistborn series by brandon sanderson. fun books. would make a great big budget TV series someday


Mistborn was supposedly picked up for film.


Picked up by Apple, of all places, and Brandon finished the first draft of the screenplay last week.
