Re: Skynet is coming.

One of the daydreams I've had since is to see aging cured so I can spend a good 50 years doing nothing but building old school warbirds for stick & rudder addicts. Late Doras and C model 152's would be near the top of the todo list. Strip all armor and guns out and fix all the crappy slave labor co...

Re: SpaceX News

"Elon Musk’s Boring Company is digging a 10-mile tunnel in Maryland" Seriously, Musk's outfit for digging the first Hyperloop tunnel is "The Boring Company". Which meshes perfectly with how boring his rocket landings have (thankfully) gotten. Now, do the Tunnel Boring Machines have cute names? "Hon...

Re: SpaceX News

Is there really not enough margin in the thrust performance to blanket enough of those inconveniences down to acceptable levels? Besides continuous G's. Meaning sound deadening etc.

Re: Elon Musk Is In Bed With Crooks

Haha. Sorry that was my understatement tone. That website showed up in my mobile Chrome suggested news feed less than a month ago. I read 1 article halfway before scrolling down and seeing the fine print etc, to confirm the smell of something rotten. That site, and Salon, are the two sites I've ment...

That ZeroHedge website hardly seems impartial.

Re: EMC2 news

If anyone remembers exactly what it was he deferred his involvement for, and if enough of it is addressed by then, I think it would be worthwhile having him at least take a look. I remember him arguing the way someone does when interested but too skeptical to stay involved.

Re: Skynet is coming.

On a side note, I was at Udvar-Hazy this weekend and had a nice visit with their collection of German & US guided weapons. They have an HS 298, 239, 117 and Fritz X on display. Hs 298 Hs 293 Hs 117 Fritz X In addition to others, they also have the US Bat Radar guided weapon; Bat Missile Cool. Some ...

Re: EMC2 news

I am sorry I can not specify who is doing and what they have done at this point. However, rest assured that it will come out, and maybe sooner than you guys expect. Personally, I am looking for a nice peer-reviewed article in a respectable journal, and another patent. And who knows, maybe the code ...

Re: EMC2 news

Either way this is such a better state than the embargo's complete blackout from a few years ago.

Re: Skynet is coming.

I think I remember something like that either on Luft46 or on the old LEMB. Don't have the HDD I kept all of these things on anymore, unfortunately. Lots of cool stuff from private interviews. Kinda sucks to be a luftwaffle but genetically disqualified from actually researching things in person. Mos...

Re: Skynet is coming.

The entire spectrum of esthetics has become like sugar addiction. Compare documentary footage of clearly normal and very un-omniscient people hesitating and fumbling and being very "boring" vs. 99.9999% perfect timing and charisma etc that basically every single part of every single scene in modern ...

Re: EMC2 news

Reads as a direct reply - that they have yet to scale what they currently have to 6.6m and/or larger.

Re: SpaceX News

At the very least the video's a best case scenario. The rest of the world will get iterations - between less optimal and nothing. E.G. Russia or China (ITAR?) and Caracas or Timbuktu (no market). This would be a new Internet moment though. And elsewhere someone argues that rockets are still too pric...
