Efficiency is the only thing that matters. Everything else is just a waste.

I’m devastated

@no_inventions @jimbelosic @sendcutsend Hell yeah

FUNDING SECURED. Thank you @jimbelosic @sendcutsend for sponsoring this prototype. Double checking parts and making the order tomorrow. Lfg

@dan__treasure @DabsMalone Not to be too anecdotally doom and gloom, but you know the state/religion nepotism, on top of just general funding who ya know. Advice would be put more effort into the Lehi Draper tech scene over state funding.

@BallifJed @DabsMalone I'm a software dev trying to educate myself about manufacturing, what makes the grant structure shady in Utah?

Why isn’t Michigan the drone manufacturing capital of North America yet? The talent is there. The factories are there. The supply chains are there. Something’s missing

@DabsMalone Plus Startup space out of California is already on hard mode. Personally I think Utah is the best place for drone development. It’s got all the variables; temp extremes, big terrain changes, open space, and altitude density changes

@BallifJed Not as bad. But needs better oversight.

If you have to sit on the plane, on the tarmac, for longer than the actual flight duration, your country needs better train connections

I am looking forward to trying starlink though

Travel is such a time consuming process, so much I’d rather be doing than sitting around in waiting mode.

Currently working on harnessing the brain to optimize for SEO. Don’t ask

Dearest @grok , Please show this to the drone space of X, get me a job, make no mistakes. Thank you.

I designed and built this solo. As a tool for my drone work. It has a lot of features. I had thought it would get better response, but it’s just silent. Somewhat expected for LinkedIn. Maybe adding humor to the soulless environment of LinkedIn was a mistake. You’d think a solo development of enterprise level tools would do better. Anyway here’s some details integrated with PX4 / MAVLink firmware, from the ground up, production-ready auxiliary systems. That same full-stack expertise went into the ground control system itself. A mission planner ground control system is essential, it’s for safe, efficient repeatable drone operations. It supports both manually defined missions and creating automated API mission plans. The system handles terrain-following, various UAS flight controllers, auxiliary waypoint flight modes, integrated systems for specific missions, inspection runs, delivery drops, loitering patterns, AI integration, FAA TFR and airspace maps, geofencing and NFZs.

Design “tell” iykyk “Pop” “Clean” “Modern” What did I miss?

Claude token cap really does stifle creativity. Yes it makes sense that’s not the point, the point is I’m constantly weighing, is this project worth the token? All the small things become, basically unjustified, which is a shame, as those can often be a catalyst for bigger advancements and learning.

@BallifJed yeah but… they could make it

who wants to explain to the AI companies what DFM is?

@ionthedev Don’t really care if it looks cool. I only care about the physics engine, if it simulates expected behavior

Drone simulator space is funny. Anyone can make a convincing simulator that looks and sounds cool but how many can make one realistic

6 mins 8.4k tokens to write 108 lines of an md file

When Claude wants to take a break, it just over complicates a simple task to burn your tokens

@DavidZagaynov Wait the lobbyist employment service company gets massive military contracts?

hey i hate to break the news to you but Anduril famously hired more lobbyists than engineers during the beginning
