This kind of hyperbole/lies isn't really helpful.

I think you're underestimating the costs of transporting power long distances.

This starlink mini dish isn't available yet. So the pricing and exact capabilities are not yet known.

by mlindner 2y ago
Yes, if you just turn on the dish with no account there's still limited "internet" access that lets you access Starlink billing services.

It's not just a byproduct. There's a definite mode it switches into, that can be disabled, that draws additional power in order to heat the dish up. There is no heating element, but the community understanding is that the radio el

Why do people keep bringing up this incident that happened in the very early days of the system when it wasn't even called FSD? It isn't representative.

Ford's Blue Cruise is not hands-off on mapped highways, only on portions of some highways where curves are shallow. And it can suddenly demand you take over in a failure mode that completely disables itself forcing you to instantly tak

It's weird how people keep calling this vaporware when it actually works, is active on roads, and is used by tens of thousands of people. That's the strangest usage of the term I've ever seen. Vaporware is the term used to de

I think this was also intended to help push the last foreign companies out of Russia. If they can't do currency exchanges easily then it increases reasons to get out of country.

I don't remember Elon ever stating something does something it's not actually doing. His future timelines are off but it's never his competence that's been a problem with anything relating to SpaceX. And calling SpaceX (

For very simple pressure fed engines (which this appears to be) it's actually cheapest to additively manufacture (3D print) engines as you can integrate the cooling channels. On engines like Raptor you have pumps, which notably need to

Patriots use solid fuel. Additionally nothing on a Patriot missile used 3D printing. There is no benefit for 3D printing.

It's not a world first. It's an industry standard in tact.
344.
by mlindner 2y ago
I wouldn't jump to praise so quickly. Additive manufacturing (aka 3D printing) is standard in the industry and the time is dependent on the size (and to some extent the mass) of the engine. They then further claim you don't need t

This company has been pushing a lot of press about this but it's really not anything special. The industry has been printing engines for many years and the time to print is dependent on the size (and to some extent the mass) of the eng

It's on revenue not profit.

That's not what it says at all though.

The question wasn't "should" but "can". Don't write inflammatory posts that don't answer the question.

To be clearer, it's not related to fracking wells as the wells being injected into are not fracked wells.

by mlindner 2y ago
The Pennsylvania situation is completely different. Those were wells drilled decades ago that were extremely shallow and done with very simplistic methods that didn't isolate the well from ground water. That type of drilling is no long

What "behavior"? The only thing violated here was the standard corporate policies that some companies have.

Tom Mueller also mentioned how he had like 20+ direct reports. The organization is _extremely_ flat with almost no middle managers.

This is such a poor hot take. Literally every single person that has personally dealt with him disagrees this narrative. It's only popular on reddit/hacker news boards and among some journalists. Karpathy has a good discussion on

Why do people always assume anything he says isn't why he does what he does? He's repeatedly stated why he cares. It's rather frustrating. Like assume good faith please.

Apple already runs China-only software on their devices, I suppose it just won't run there.

There WAS more context, but some moderator of hacker news merged in the post with more context into this link that was posted first. That erased all the context. Also the significance is not Super Heavy landing in the Gulf of Mexico, but St

But there was already a growing post with the other link, they forcibly merged that one into this one rather than the reverse.

Yeah on re-watch I saw the moment it cracked, but it didn't really damage the view much as the crack was relatively small. It was only the cover rather than the lens itself. Probably from the flash cooling after how hot it got.
