Reads like transactions per second. Or as times per second. Or as just anything per second ;)

1100x/s. 1100xps.

The infamous dragon book convinced people to use the wrong tools and have the wrong mindset. It was a work of incompetence. There were no dragons, but the book itself.

In this sense all of the West is full of shit, and it's a requirement. The intent is not to help and make life better for everyone, cooperate, it is to deceive and impoverish those that need our help. Because we pity ourselves, and feed the coward within, that one that never took his first option and chose to do what was asked of him instead.

This is what our society deviates us from, in its wish to be the GOAT, and control. It results in the production of lives full of fake achievements, the constant highs which i see muslims actively opt out of. So they must be doing something right.

It did play out: there are many more launches today, it's 5x in 20 years. The 75% of SpaceX starlink launches (which account for nearly 50% of all launches) were quietly financed by their other launch customers, exactly because the real cost to launch dropped so much.

That doesn't mean you're wrong, but you do seem to forget that SpaceX, as its own customer, knows the number of launches is going to rise exponentially. They obviously choose to manufacture for where the market _will be_, while you don't see the market before its there. Which is good for them.

And who was managing here? Do we dare point the finger at Congress and the POTUS for creating the conditions necessary for this to happen?

I hope the final report does point the finger. As far as politicians are concerned, accountability is for suckers.

ReactOS is always almost there.. except it doesn't quite get there; same goes for Wine, as they have a lot in common?

This reminds me. Linux was already a fossil, except for some niches, but now in the age of AI, the fact that code can't be updated at will (and instead has to go through some medieval social process) is fatal. Soon the age will be here where we generate the necessary OS features on the fly. No more compatibility layers, no more endless abstractions, no more binaries to distribute, no more copyright, no need to worry about how "the others" use their systems, no more bike shedding. Instead, let the system manage itself, it knows best. We'll get endless customization without the ballast.

It's time to set software free from the social enclosures we built around it.

not the system, but the design of life itself we all sustain. the "system" is only a projection of it.

everything that happens in the world is your responsibility also, as you help make it happen. it's our world after all.

if something happens but is not supposed to happen, either the person made a mistake, or the design is broken and nudges to make it happen, or both. blame-the-person is the default strategy, but it doesn't lead to a better design, and it denies the plain reality that the design puts some people at the center, so they can party and are not to be bothered by the downsides of their actions, and others are pushed to the edge, and will fall off. by design.

you probably prefer to pay the police than to pay someone a meal so she doesn't need to steal and expose herself to the risk of killing someone. it's what people at the center would think, but it's not a good idea to give them power over the design of our lives that puts them first.

there's clearly worthless trash on both sides of the equation.

So to circle back to your thesis: when the car is operating autonomously, the manufacturer is responsible. If it goes broke then what? Then the owner will need to insure the car privately. So Tesla insurance might have to continue to operate (and be profitable).

The question this raises is if Tesla should sell any self-driving cars at all, or instead it should just drive them itself.
