The future died an hour into the flight when the suction cups holding starlink in the window gave up the ghost . .not prudent to go back and fix this while flying solo .. so will need to engineer a better solution as it was cool while it worked.

Too low for the jets too high for most pistons got the airspace to myself. Cabin 5500ft at 17.5k

Live from the future via starlink hanging out in the rear window. (Starlink is hanging out in the window , not me) I'm making sure George is properly following directions and that we don't bump into anything.

Rough way to start the day, even downdetector was down. How am I going to get my doom scrolling dopamine hits?.

So the @blueorigin landing on the 2nd try was impressive. If they can ramp the flight rate they could give F9 some competition. If they could recover the 2nd stage (Even with minimal payload) even better... To really compete with starship they are going to have to make some

ADAS L3 and driving... There are now a number of fully certified L3 driving assistants. At this time they are all limited to < 60km/hr (37mph) with one exception Mercedes-Benz Drive Pilot goes to 95km hr (59mph.) In Germany. (I'm excluding Tesla see comment *) I don't think

So @blueorigin is back on the pad ready to launch. BO founded 2000, SpaceX 2002, SpaceX 512+ orbital launches, BO about to do #2. Move fast and break things probably way more effective.careful Id give 80% odds on mission success and 50% odds on booster recovery.

Interesting ethics problem I'd like some thoughts guidance... A product exists in the world it uses NetBurner modules and we sold the module(s) (now mostly obsolete) more than 10 years ago. Some other company used the Netburner modules to build a product and developed software

Congratulations @spacex looked like a 99% nominal flight. (Is it the same engine that keeps not relighting on heavy for first boost back burn? is something in the flip sloshing feed to that one engine?) The Ship flight looked 100% nominal with no visible burn through anywhere.

The first flippant comment was: "An RQ-170 became self aware, but was successfully destroyed before escaping the containment zone. This time." While I think this is just a flippant funny comment, it made me pause, as we have entered a time where it is not beyond the
Mysterious Aircraft Crash Near Area 51 Just Got Weirder The incident in the Nevada desert prompted flight restrictions over the crash site and now a joint investigation with the FBI. Story:

Internet beg, looking for a good follow for coverage of actual science for 3I/atlas. Factual discussion of current recent data, not "we're all going to be meat at alien BBQ click bait "

I just read if anyone builds it everyone dies. My thoughts: There are very real risks with AI, the economic risks alone may destroy societal stability. Ai might cause civilization to digress to the point we can't build AI and then oscillate about that point. AI might concentrate

So NetBurner builds dev tools... One of our build tools takes an elf, strips out parts, compresses it cryptographically signs it and packages it, making it ready to be loaded on our board. (Tool was written in Go, uses elf zstd and a cryptography libs/packages) At some

A few years ago they put direc to to home fiber in our street.... This result is from my $80/mo residential internet. When I started NetBurner (A networking co) my home internet was 34K dial up and that was the only thing available. (I was too far from the exchange for 56K to

Some one has an off by one software issue. I've seen this exact error on multiple retailers. Powerball is 1.4B and mega is 336M. Love seeing embedded software bugs out in the wild....
