The industrial bases of entire nations military aviation have been taxed for years/decades to produce supersonic capable engines simply for high maintenance fighters, now do that for affordable maintenance low headcount passenger jets. I'm not going to say impossible, but it will take more than VC money and anonymous 'partners' to convince me its likely.

For it to have a chance the US gov. needs to do IP transfer and pair them with NASA for test as they did with SpaceX, more realistically simply twist Pratt&Whitneys arm a bit...

I know this is going to seem reductive, but especially with young children we teach art due to the value it gives them as individuals developing. Not for the GDP or individual fiscal benefit.

Further, judging the value of art to society by how much it costs is ridiculous and an asinine comparison.

I only got into circuitry myself, but I've watched skilled players go all the way through which is entertaining in of itself but not enough to overcome my initial misgivings. I can see how it would be fun from a Sim City for engineers perspective with tech debt to add a feedback to the gameplay loop.

The game feels very lonely and honestly imo quite selfish in its objectives, deplete the planet to escape using your brilliant intellect, science cost is just time*resources. This is the opposite of my experience in life where no-one can do it all alone from scratch, everything is the accumulation of shared motivation, experience and unique perspectives.

I see a lot of praise heaped on Factorio but I was underwhelmed when I played it, the game doesn't really capture what makes industrial engineering interesting for me, it seems more like software engineering wearing the face of traditional mech/chem/ind engineering. The way pollution is handled is also kind of insane (red overlay makes nodes mad now use gun kill...) and reflects more of the creator of the game and not any kind of objective reality for engineering.

Caring about others and wanting a fair, even handed and democratic government is not self-righteous you muppet. All you are doing is trying to justify your shitty ideals.

Use Valgrind? Or are we talking projects that have become far too big for their own good, cause leaks aren't hard at all to find with the right tools and a bit of profiling... now crossing thread boundaries and weird dynamic programming tricks maybe, but thats a very different case and not really refecting on C++ itself, would likely trip up a GC lang as well.

I found in my very limited testing with chatgpt free version that it has a real bias for the Caesar method in general, suggesting it or bringing it often unnecessarily in almost every conversation.

Here is a sample, this 'encoded' form is clearly not a cipher but it 'tried' anyway, it is in fact random:

Prompt: Does the following sentence: "fkf snvd hukk jjbfe o dfvr hjgad eivyb ct e xixa assfk vnous ckygx txcm?" bare resemblance to the phrase "how much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?"?

Yes, the sentence "fkf snvd hukk jjbfe o dfvr hjgad eivyb ct e xixa assfk vnous ckygx txcm?" does indeed resemble the structure of the phrase "how much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?".

It seems like it could be an encrypted version of the latter phrase. Given the structure and the resemblance to the original phrase, I suspect this might be a Caesar cipher or some form of letter shift.

Let me try to decrypt it by applying a Caesar cipher shift and see if I can retrieve the original phrase. I'll start with a few different shift values. Hang on!

Huh, I use FF sync across multiple devices and with extensions, on android etc... never had that issue, my only hitch can be the sync can take a bit for passwords and can't be manually initiated as far as i can tell. Might be the extensions you are using or how cookies are being handled perhaps?

Looks cool, but in what world is any of that 'single-file'? Like yes your examples are built out of single files, several of them in fact. And the sever certainly isn't a single file...
