The House just passed a Farm Bill that includes multiple provisions I advocated for to ensure more humane treatment of animals.

@richgel999 What’s the hard pill to swallow in your opinion
English
I completely believe David Grusch. He fits this educational role well.
This also means we live on a very backwards, war-torn planet (just like Stanton Friedman said in the 70's).

David Grusch BOMBSHELL: "UFO Disclosure will be a little uncomfortable - A hard pill to swallow" 👽😱 He told Jeremy Corbell: “We have been observing signatures in the skies and it appears to be a form of sentient non-human intelligence. The universe is teeming with life.” According to Grusch, the government possesses a significant amount of information on the topic. He warned that the revelations will be somewhat uncomfortable and that some truths will be a hard pill to swallow. However, he believes it’s ultimately positive to release this information so the public can better understand the universe. Src: @InterstellarUAP @JeremyCorbell

I’ll be out in Costa Mesa starting on the 4th. DM me and invite me to your shop plz.

Hey @eightsleep please make a hub that can fit under my bedframe please.

Slow moving Shahed style drones will be easily defeated in 2-3 years, pivot to higher altitude or faster moving now.

@deanwball Is Fall still a good choice for the position as well?

Obviously what happened is Burns was bumped because of his association with Anthropic. A dumb but predictable own goal. A lib admin would have done the same to an xAI technical safety researcher, assuming any of those still exist.
Dean W. Ball@deanwball
First, congratulations to Dr. Fall! Second, Collin Burns is well regarded by everyone I knew in his field, and is a genuine technical researcher (and a world-ranked Rubik’s cube master! A true shape rotator!). A strange move from USG to cancel his employment, but alas.

@Andercot Cheap point defense like this will nullify the slow moving drones. You’ll see an uptick in variable speed/rocket drones in the future as every base has multiple point defense systems

@pepel_klaasa Should’ve been our friend during the Iran war. You fucked up now we’re gonna make you pay for it.

The United States is holding up virtually all weapons deliveries purchased by EU countries. It is not like we’re completely defenseless here, but it’s obvious that if Russia attacks within the next year or two, we can’t rely not only on U.S. assistance – but even on weapons supplies.
For Estonia, this is especially critical.

I also use copper roof flashing to cover my mechanical contrivances
Can cut with tinsnips but low enough plastic limit that it can hang those 90 corners without additional tooling
Zero lasers

3 years ago I invented this debt badge and began wearing it everyday in Congress to bring attention to our spending problem. This is serial #001. I made the case from copper roof flashing I had in my basement. Sadly it was $31 trillion then, but now it’s $39 trillion!

@buildboost I was horrible in school, mostly due to depression but GPA sucked too. Once I got a job I took off because there was more purpose.
English
Sometimes I wonder what happened to my EE classmate with nearly a 4.0 GPA who, in his last semester of his bachelor's, couldnt calculate a voltage divider or use a multimeter to measure voltage. But then I realize I would probably just be disappointed if I looked him up, so I dont.
Not all engineers are created equal and GPA means less than nothing at most schools (SDSU had a horrific cheating problem)

@GreenHamNsam @jimbelosic No CMM I’ve ever had in inventory has been easy to sell. Your mileage may vary.

Something I've learned over the years: If you're in the market for industrial equipment like CNC machines, forklifts, or even air compressors, it's easier to finance equipment from well-known manufacturers.
Why? Orderly Liquidation Value.
When a lender is looking at the deal, underwriting will try and figure out the "second market liquidity" of the equipment (sometimes called Orderly Liquidation Value or Forced Liquidation Value). The more value it has on the secondary market, the more likely they are to lend against it.
That cheap schenzhen air compressor might be a non-starter for an equipment lender, but a Kaeser is hell ya for them. They know that if they have to take possession of it, they can probably get most of their money back. Same goes with forklifts. Getting a loan on a Toyota is super easy vs. the alibaba brand.
Getting loans on rare, uncommon equipment is really hard because the OLV is unknown or very low. If you need a super-custom oven for a specialized heat treatment process, you might be on your own. The bank doesn't really see it as an asset they can repo since you're the only one who needs it. Might have to use a normal credit line for that.
Anyway, just something to think about when you need to protect cashflow and get loans on equipment vs. paying cash. Sometimes the more expensive option is more fundable, and hopefully higher quality and better performance too. Follow me for more tips on begging underwriting to lend against weird equipment.

This is what we’re doing at @GradientRobot We’re a machine tool builder but directly addressing the skilled welder shortage. Welders make up about 2% of the skilled workers in the country but they account for over 30% of the total skilled worker shortage across all trades. At Gradient we build pre engineered welding cells including the industrial robot itself (no off the shelf kuka or fanuc) with our own controller and CAM software for welding. Think Bambu labs for robotic welding. In addition we’re wiring the shit out them with cameras and sensors to do realtime inspection and quality assessment of the welds. We will also sell you just the industrial robot with our open source controller and software for alternative uses too. Of course with all the sensor and data and measurements we’re closing the control loop with modern ai to automate a number of tasks to the required level of reliability needed in production. At the end of the day our product is speed and reliability and we aim to make welding behave much more like modern cnc where a single operator can run multiple machines at once, moving it from an art to science. One other thing, don’t believe the cobot marketing spin. Most aren’t suitable for real production work and often sit idle in shops after the initial purchase. They aren’t large or fast enough to make economic sense and are not any easier to program than a purpose built industrial robot. Honestly programming a Panasonic to run a welding job is easier than a UR and it’s much much faster. On the smaller volume end as you get towards n of 1 , without closed loop control, robotic welding doesn’t make much sense given the time to setup a job. In these cases a human welder is still superior for cycle time. This is what we set out to change.

@MehdiHacks You will quickly find out what tolerances are truly important to your parts. What will not fit and cost you a lot of money and what you can allow tolerances to and allow you to build cheaper components

@GreenHamNsam Thank you.
Metrology is an interesting world.
I started with RF metrology, and gradually got interested in other types too (e.g. mechanical precision)
Now that I'm reading "Maintenance: of Everything", it's even more interesting how the modern mass production started!

Tagging Jason at the end is hilarious because it makes no sense.

Hilarious to me that I missed BOs landing, first falcon landing attempts were must see events and BO is pulling off barge landings and I didn’t know it was happening. Amazing normalcy to the completely abnormal achievement. Congrats to them

The AS9102 form standardized a lot for FAIR but we should also standardize elements added to form 2. Raw material certs need to be uniform to allow ML and OCR software to find heat # temper, alloy, etc easily
