maybe banging the side of the SLS a bunch with a hurricane fixed the problems like an old tube TV

NASA’s Artemis I mission, which for all practical purposes is irreplaceable, is riding out a hurricane tonight standing mere feet away from the Atlantic Ocean. NASA says everything will be fine. Probably. But they also admit there wasn’t time to roll back for cover. So 🤞big guy.

Move upwards. Skywards. Spacewards.
The only direction left.
it's already becoming part of my regular workflow- being able to just talk into the mic and then a few minutes later be editing without massive cleanup is great
I know there are services that do transcription, but OpenAI Whisper is just so good
this is completely orthogonal to the (very interesting) conversation in thread, but this is an awesome tool and I can't believe I haven't come across it before

People who come here for “news” start from TV news (like Trump) and come here to fight about it. They’re about 4-8 weeks behind the sense-making power that allowed Twitter to be *ahead* of the curve on Covid etc. That power comes from *speed* at good-enough accuracy. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1589413653190938624

I was wondering this myself but at the time I posted my thread, I hadn't yet gone over the literature on N95 degradation over the course of normal wear. Now I have!

People think the choice is between nuclear and renewables when in fact the real choice is between nuclear and coal. https://twitter.com/hausfath/status/1477461816796061699

Chang'e-8 is a precursor to ILRS, testing in-situ resource utilisation, 3D printing, etc. Here's a deeper look at the ILRS plan. https://spectrum.ieee.org/china-aims-for-a-permanent-moon-base-in-the-2030s
man- some time in the last couple years my writing muscles atrophied, and now creating a semi-coherent paragraph feels like I'm going to strain my frontal lobe
time to do more
this is worth reading, and sums up my own feelings pretty well
this is probably the most exciting time in human history to be alive, so don't miss out because you let yourself get killed
surf the chaos, stay alive, have fun!

On day 351 I explore why it is that the most optimistic & most intelligent people I know are also preppers. Or bulls with apocalypse bags https://jfredrickson.com/day-351-and-preppers/

This would not just be for creating exotic pets, it could have important commercial use. Macaques monkeys are used to pick coconuts in Thailand and Jack the Baboon helped to run railways in South Africa.
What work could we get trained high IQ monkeys to do? https://t.co/uatihDybDU

let's get this bread (fresh pie crust)
it's also both funny and frustrating that the dumb meme solution of "use a giant extension cord" is basically the correct one
one of the things that interests me about an orbital ring is the idea of using the cables to get space solar power down to the ground
orbital solar is capable of incredible scale, but the microwave downlink bit, while clever, is a bottleneck
