Eternal Return. Post-Schizo. Strange attractor to weirdly cracked. If what I used to work on in defense tech is actively used, you're probably having a bad day.

I am building a cooking pan. 3 years ago I asked myself, "if I threw budget out the window, and made the best possible pan that won't be ITAR-restricted, what would I do?" Finally got around to it. Sintered, mirror polished silicon carbide. Single block machined carbon steel. SiC will get molybdenum PVD coating on bottom, and then 80:20 silver copper layer will be used to vacuum weld the two pieces together, and provide a softer interphase layer to relieve CTE mismatch strain.

I can shed a little light. Many of the new sUAS warheads are unacceptably dangerous: they are designed by people with no understanding (or apparent desire to learn and implement) the necessary precautions they must take to avoid killing our soldiers. I am speaking in the general case about very new players in the munition market, not about anyone in particular. I specifically CANNOT speak to the munition involved in this incident or the company that makes it (which has been around for more than twenty years, they are not new) as I know nothing about either. We recently returned from the National Armaments Consortium's Annual Fuze Conference, where I was shocked to discover that the fuze safety experts I had been led to believe would have horns and breathe fire were in fact making such unreasonable requests as "please don't smush your commercial detonator into your C-4 and wire it directly to your AI board." An inexact quote, but that's the sentiment: they didn't like that SOME people chose to make obliteration the consequence of a little too much static electricity or another LLM oopsie moment. Unbelievable what these people ask for, the nerve. Jokes aside, we ourselves are very new to the field. As normal people new to a field, we assume we have a lot to learn and that everything the greybeards say is gospel. It seems not everyone feels that way about keeping their limbs attached. Or yours.

Exclusive at @CBSNews - Amid the Pentagon race to adapt low-cost, expendable drones, an Army explosive safety specialist warned that the military’s rush to innovate may be outpacing basic explosive safeguards—raising the risk of accidents, docs show. cbsnews.com/news/pentagon-…

Anyone have a use for a 250 KW single cycle natgas turbogenerator with better reliability, efficiency, and mass efficiency than anything you'll find today? First version AC, new design. 800 VDC later. What voltage would you need? What rental rate would you pay? What use case?

I and many others took this tweet to the bank. Threatening to decommission dragon gave $RKLB a sales catalyst inside the US federal gov't "Purchasing department" ---- decoupling from a single source. Even though he deleted the tweet, the damage was clearly done. Other countries want to give more business to RocketLab now than before and it was a sort of "flying too close to the sun" moment for Musk IMHO.

@TrentTelenko The legacy startups like Anduril, Saronic, or Shield AI simply aren't ready for the disruptive innovation from fast and nimble startups that are focused on moving product in war zones rather than lobbying to get into programs of record and marketing to pump pension fund vals.

A Romanian startup built an AI-guided cruise missile that flies 200 km and hugs the ground to avoid radar — for just $1.1M in total development costs. The Sahara debuted this week at a Bucharest defense expo. defence-blog.com/romanian-start…

@jportukalian A critical milestone for any hardtech founder is when you can pre-emptively answer this in a general sense... in many ways, it is more pleasant if you cannot.

Until the bitcoiner autist transcends his exclusion of life outside of the miniscule domain of that which is (quasi)-verifiable, his philosophy is certain to be unattractive. The degenerate bitcoiner autist must learn to be Dionysian, and become capable of daring feats of trust.

The based Eastern Orthodox mogs the cucked American Protestant and everyone knows it -- the protest-ant work ethic? And why does this busy ant, protest? When is it too much? Could anything ever be enough, and if it cannot, then is one not condemned to negate each moment of life?

Aerospace & defense are the hottest sectors in venture capital. And don’t get me wrong - a lot of this momentum is good. America absolutely needs more MBA types with venture funds 100x larger than their net worth (don't call it welfare or central planning, we call it capitalism). Some investors also realized something important the last few years - defense became one of the easiest narratives to raise around. And that changes investor behavior. Investing in companies with technical chops, manufacturing advantage, procurement wedge, operational excellence, and durable GTM might seem attractive, but the market is increasingly rewarding optics early: patriotic branding, military aesthetics, social media distribution, “mission-driven” positioning, etc. As a steward of the retirement funds of the teachers of equality who made it so that anyone could have $100m fund (participation trophy economy), don't you want to be a good steward of their capital and follow the trends? Can *you* save America? Or if you know what the market rewards are you powerless to do anything? Perhaps you can simply tweet about it and dissolve the truth of yourself from your memory? Yes, I think that will do!

Aerospace & defense are the hottest sectors in venture capital. And don’t get me wrong - a lot of this momentum is good. America absolutely needs more builders working on industrial capacity, autonomy, manufacturing, resilience, defense infrastructure, energy systems, and supply chain independence. But with the flood of capital also comes noise. Some founders also realized something important the last few years - defense became one of the easiest narratives to raise around. And that changes founder behavior. The market is increasingly rewarding optics early: patriotic branding, military aesthetics, social media distribution, “mission-driven” positioning, etc. But underneath, many companies still lack technical chops, manufacturing advantage, procurement wedge, operational excellence, and durable GTM. The truly contrarian opportunities exist outside the obvious hype cycle. Sectors nobody is romanticizing online.

Yes. Private military grade capabilities will also be needed to protect American commercial interested abroad, which could soon face military grade threats from gangs/cartels.
Fugitive Caesar@ThomBrady5

Legalize self-defense. Me and my friends can clear out every criminal urban slum in America after we're given necessary legal protections. Decline is a choice, and we can reject it. There are 14.9 million vacant properties in America worth $3 trillion. Young men can unlock that.
