Out of curiosity, how do you define flight? To me, I think the Roadster flew because it clearly maintained powered propulsion after leaving the ground. Sure, it only flew for a few seconds, but it's not far from the Wright Bros.' first flight.

Sounds like it was just compressed air (rechargeable on the fly). Impressive if true.

Problem is, where do you take a company like this if you want peace of mind that the new host country won't immediately try to pass a similar law?

Knowing Jared Isaacman, he won't let MSR die without a fight. It wouldn't shock me to see NASA consider Rocket Lab's MSR proposal; they had submitted a pretty affordable proposal some time ago.

Sorry for the late reply. They require you to unplug the entire drive and plug it back in to properly recognize a new disk.

FWIW, it turns out that all USB floppy drives nowadays are made in the same factory, and all of them are kinda glitchy. Go buy an older model on eBay instead of buying new.

My thoughts exactly. While the corpus of human-generated data contains both good and bad data, I suspect the majority of it leans towards humans enjoying life and trying to be decent people. If that is your training set, it becomes less likely for ASI to extrapolate "kill all humans."

Sounds like this could be GLM 5.3 vision. Reports said that outputs were identical to base GLM 5.3.

I've heard that DeepSeek v4 Flash 0731 has frequently assumed that it has vision capabilities and then resorts to inventing text-based image analysis tools when it finds that it actually can't see. In that case, this is a great upgrade for the model.
Anecdotally, I had to tell 0731 to refrain from viewing screenshots since it kept breaking its sessions by trying to read images.

Toyota TSS3 is in fact encrypted; openpilot users who have TSS3 have to manually extract decryption keys from their cars to be able to talk on the CAN bus.
