  • Looks like there’s a starlink launch later today, and then a satellite resupply mission, both on Falcon 9s. Which is good because the falcon 9 is an incredibly reliable launch platform that should boost investor confidence.

    And then on Thursday they’re gonna blow up another starship.

    So we’ll see it tick up today and tomorrow, and then probably plummet again when investors see roughly $1,000,000,000 get turned into literal ash on livestream.

    Who’s ready to watch the rollercoaster?

  • I’d rather they get their trial in the states.

    The UK has some bizarrely lenient sentencing for sex crimes. Like months or a couple of years. These chuckle fucks should rot for as long as possible, not only for their crimes but also as a punishment for the damage they’ve done to a generation of boys and young men.

  • AI is horrible for charting.

    My wife is a Respiratory Therapist. They rolled out AI charting a few months ago and she tried it once. She spent just as much time proof reading the AI notes as it would have taken to write them herself.

    The main problems are that medical notes are critical to patient care, and are legal documents that can and will be used in the event of legal action. If you’re using AI to document patient care, you’re opening yourself up to potentially disastrous miscommunication that can very possibly get someone killed or have their life altered. And then if someone does die, now the court can see that you documented things incorrectly and could hold you responsible.

  • The limiting factor for space data centers is absolutely not the cost to build them. The AI industry has already proven that they will burn the GDP of a small country just to have an LLM that shits out slightly better text that has coin flip level odds of being true.

    The limiting factor here is one of thermodynamics. A travel mug for coffee works because it has a near vacuum between the inner lining and the outer shell. Vacuums are fantastic insulation because there’s no atoms there to transfer heat away. Very useful if you want hot coffee for a few hours. Space is a big vacuum, and data centers are giant heat generators. You’re basically putting a computer in a perfect insulation medium. It’s really stupid.

  • Steam just straight up doesn’t work that way. It’s an application launcher, it will happily try to run a game on integrate graphics even if you have a dedicated GPU if you haven’t configured your system properly. This is, in fact, a very common issue.

    One of my favorite hobbies and genres of YouTube videos is testing out really old GPUs and CPUs on modern games to see what they do. I’ve had the game tell me it straight up won’t launch because an intel 845 doesn’t have the right graphics API for a modern game, but steam will still let the game try to launch.

    Chiv probably doesn’t like your 10 year old integrated graphics because it’s 10 year old integrated graphics and you threw a hissy fit about steam instead of thinking maybe the game was the problem.

  • Isn’t that intentional though?

    He specifically requests to be a bad guy and to lose in the end because of his experience with crime and prison in his youth and wanting to be an example of crime not winning.

  • Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you can eat grapefruit while on medication.

    Grapefruit delays the breakdown of medication in the body. Most medication require the liver to break down whatever is in the pill into the actual chemical that will effect your body. So what happens is the original chemical in the meds builds up in your body’s and then the grapefruit wears off and your liver goes nuts making active ingredients, leading to an overdose.

  • It’s every week.

    Right before markets close for the weekend, he says a deal is close.

    This makes investors feel confident and buy oil futures.

    He’s been pumping and dumping the oil market for this entire war, and investors are so stupid they keep believing him. I guarantee when the market finally crashes off the end of this rollercoaster, the war will miraculously end.

  • Make em get practice insurance just like doctors and nurses, and I think lawyers are also insured for their jobs.

    Most professions where you hold the future of another human in your hands require some kind of insurance, except for police. Yet a cop can mistakenly arrest you, drag your name through the newspapers and the mud, hell even shoot you for no good reason, and then walk away like that didn’t just ruin your life just as badly as a surgeon cutting off the wrong leg, or a nurse overdosing you cause they fucked up the math.

    Make cops carry insurance. If they can’t afford the premiums or get dropped for being to risky, well then they can go pound sand.

  • Great theory, but the Falcon 9 is already a proven design and most of SpaceX’s R&D is going to the starship, which uses completely different engines and which has blown up or disintegrated just as much as its successfully gotten above the atmosphere. It’s also never actually completed an orbit or delivered a gram of anything to orbit.

    Starlink is a useful tool to boost launch numbers precisely so investors think things are better than they actually are. Originally SpaceX burned through government and private investor money. Now that they’ve blown through the entire Artemis budget the interim director of nasa gave them through blatant corruption, and launched even more billion dollar fireworks using private investor money, they are desperately trying to convince the public for more fireworks funds.

  • Wouldn’t be nearly so expensive if anti-nuclear idiots like yourself wouldn’t keep voting to block long term nuclear waste storage facilities from being built in the first place.

    There’s a half built one in Arizona that can’t be used because idiots are afraid of a tectonically stable underground silo somehow releasing dry nuclear waste.

    Do actual research. Fear mongering about nuclear reactors is exactly why they’re so expensive.

  • Well it’s a good thing that you can’t set off a nuclear explosion by bombing a nuclear power plant either.

    A nuclear explosion requires either nanosecond timing that detonates a sphere of explosives that compress a highly enriched nuclear core until it goes critical, or you need two parts of a critical core that come together when you want the big boom. It is impossible for a nuclear reactor to cause a nuclear detonation. There simply isn’t enough highly enriched material in a reactor.

    You could cause a nuclear meltdown, but you’d need to damage the fuel rods, which are typically buried rather deep for obvious reasons.

    Nuclear power is the most energy dense and efficient electrical energy source that we have as a species.
