I suspect SpaceX will be making suits for them. NASA already has their size information as well as their backup suits (at least two flight suits are made for each astronaut in case one fails safety checks).

NASA should return the Starliner to Boeing
... under RMA, or not
... directly to the CEO suite
They should also send Boeing an invoice for all of the extra costs of supporting the astronauts and returning them via alternate methods.

as long as the company pays, they won't give a rat crap. They only care when they own pocket is in risk.

Starliner's costs have been coming out of Boeing's pockets for over three years now. Starliner was a fixed cost contract so once the NASA (government) money was spent Boeing had to pay for everything. Boeing's filings with the SEC indicate they've spent close to a billion dollars of their own money on Starliner.

I'm hoping Starliner burns up on reentry.
- Boeing only has 6 Atlas rockets set aside for future Starliner missions
- Boeing doesn't have any backup capsules.
A destroyed Starliner will effectively end Boeing's participation in the Commercial Crew program. A successful return would potentially put future astronauts at risk with this capsule.
This makes me wonder if Artemis, also built by Boeing, will be truly reusable. We already know the Artemis (SLS) heat shield barely survived reentry and NASA and Boeing are relooking at the heat shield design and materials.

MSVC Code Analysis is a static analysis tool that checks your code for errors, potential improvements, and adherence to coding best practices when using the Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) compiler. It's OK with non-critical bugs?

I wonder how much of that has to do with interactions with test frameworks/suites.
Ran into something odd this week where the fix was the classic wait
await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1)); Since it is only in a test, not so bad. There was a time it would've bugged me enough to figure out where things were going south with threading.
However much I do love some black boxes - that's a chief feature of a good one... You never notice it is one because you never need to look so far inside anyway.
If Redmond is still not so sure it's all it could be, I'd be inclined to agree.

A team of AI researchers and computer scientists at the University of Alberta has found that current artificial networks used with deep-learning systems lose their ability to learn during extended training on new data. "Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate."
But it's from Alberta, so nothing to fear there. Unless there's oil involved.

Quote: They also are unable to grow any more intelligent by training on new datasets.
That stood out to me as wrong at first. Reading on, I realized you see that exact catastrophic forgetting with image generation tools and new models.
That this seems to boil down to a git commit message of "initialize the variables between runs" is interesting. Sounds solid too.
