@KirkKapitan @eastblocvisuals evidently the CIA allowed them to copy edited designs intended to blow up--which the Soviets caught, and they just retained the silhouette while re-engineering every part of the shuttle

Bardzo porządna konstrukcja, teoretycznie mądrzej zaprojektowana od amerykańskich wahadłowców, która poległa jednak na przewlekłą radziecką chorobę polegającą na braku pieniędzy. Systemu podtrzymywania życia dla załogi nigdy nie udało się skonstruować, więc ostatecznie jedyny lot Burana (15 listopada 1988) był bezzałogowy, przy czym - tu wielki szacunek dla sowieckich inżynierów - wahadłowiec wylądował całkowicie automatycznie w oparciu o namiary z nadajników radiowych, prowadzony przez pokładowy komputer, choć z dzisiejszego punktu widzenia był on nieco komiczny (skopiowany bezlicencyjnie IBM System/370 z 1970; każdy z nas ma teraz w telefonie moc obliczeniową o rzędy wielkości większą ;-)

🦜🇮🇷 On modern Iranian streets, the rush and gray of daily life grind to a halt with a single poem by Hafez, picked from a box by a tiny parakeet.
This isn’t fortune-telling, nor is it superstition; it’s a street-side ritual to recapture the soul that modern life forgot, through the sheer warmth of poetry and aesthetics. It is the most tender, most poetic street prophecy, whispered into life’s dead ends through the verses of a master.

“I don’t think most people are formulating a new worldview in which AI is a boogeyman political project hatched by billionaires. I think they’re more likely to understand AI as an extension of an already inequitable system, and as an accelerant of that inequality.”

Wrote about the college kids booing AI, and how, in a moment rife with economic precarity, affordability crises, and narrowing job prospects, AI has become the new avatar of American capitalism.
