If I’m not misunderstanding; Its not a complex project, and allows them bootstrap a recruitment campaign fast to take advantage of Artemis hype. I don’t understand why being vibe coded or reusing/recycling other designs matters?

I partially agree, but my problem is it's visibly vacuous. It's not hard to design a web page like this, and with a proper workflow, design system/components, and staff it's trivial for an organization to assemble as is without resorting to AI slop.

That just feels disrespectful to the reader when what you expect me to read may or may not have been a single prompt.


Big-JSON is coming for us

Nice “well, actually”. I’m sure Lockheed were building this quad-redundant, radiation-hardened PowerPC that costs millions of dollars and communicates via Time-Triggered Ethernet anyway, whether NASA needed one or not.


Probably, if it already wasn’t developed for DoD.

For example, the OS it seems to be running is integrity 178.

Aerospace tech is not entirely bespoke anymore, plenty of the foundational tech is off the shelf.

Historically, the main difference between ICBM tech and human spaceflight tech is the payload and reentry system.


This is the equivalent of prompt engineering.


Same. Bummed about Amazon one palm, I use it all the time.


Same. They’ve recently brought CRV charges into Ireland and almost every supermarket has a machine you can get your refund, so much more convenient. I’ve only noticed one of these near me in the Bay Area, and it’s almost always out of order or has queues of people waiting.

With over $800m in unclaimed CRVs[1], I’d wonder what kind of motivation there is to actually improve the service over “pocketing” the money. [1] https://www.kpbs.org/news/environment/2024/06/20/californias...


One of the big problems is Oracle decide what does/doesn’t go in. Understandable, but they provide no insight into the decision making process, why patches don’t get merged, or even if/when they take it. They used to post worklogs for features they were working on which gave some insights, but they’ve stopped doing that now too. Imagine working on a new feature for months, submitting a patch only to find out oracle have went their own route, many people will just say what’s the point. Last updated work log was in 2021: https://dev.mysql.com/worklog/

Edit: As an example, one of the optimizations called out in this repo was submitted in October 2023. “Thank you for the report and contribution.” and then radio silence ever since.

‪There’s a nice summary of group commit in this MySQL 5.6 work log for binary log group commit implementation ‬ ‪https://dev.mysql.com/worklog/task/?id=5223‬

‪Great blog here too on changes since :‬ ‪https://hackmysql.com/group-commit-and-trx-dependency-tracki...
