Space Colonize

1) #Space My patent #10435184 was approved today! Transferred Momentum is a new way to think about space thrust without using any new physics. This thread will show it is the absolutely best method of thrust in deep space with the capability to exceed all other methods.

A guy in his 40s with a MacBook Air made this in his mom’s basement with $500 in credits. This is what microbudget film & TV looks like now. Models used in the description.

One of the best early 80s games ever is Choplifter, from 1982, developed in a solo effort by Dan Gorlin and published by Broderbund. It also became one of the best selling games ever for the Apple II. The game simulated "realistic" helicopter flight with inertia, gravity, lift, drag, and momentum, resulting in the chopper feeling "sloppy and unstable" like a real one, yet remained playable after Broderbund helped tune it down from an overly realistic (and probably too frustrating) simulator. For 1982 standards this was very innovative. My earliest memory of this was at a friend's house; he had a C64 on which we played it into dust. It was literally the only game we played for months. We had a handrittwen "Highscore" list that we updated after each session, signed by all players present when we played it (yes, very nerdy). One simple rule was that highscores only counted when at least one other person was present and signed it off. I wished that list didn't get lost in time. Early 80s gaming included so many things that don't exist anymore today... handwritten high score lists, drawn dungeon maps, the coastal line for Pirates, level codes...

As a former progressive, this is absolutely accurate and caused me endless frustration with my co-partisans. They fundamentally don’t care if their ideas work. They hardly even have a concept of ideas working. Their entire evaluation function is based on social perception and emotionalism which is, in fact, profoundly selfish and unvirtuous. If you care more about feeling like/being seen as good than you do about results, you’re a selfish parasite. Hardly exclusive to the left, but it defines the leftist project in a way it doesn’t define any other political faction.

Every mobile robot has the same problem. The arms are too heavy. Too weak. Too dumb… You bolt on a robot designed for a factory floor and wonder why your AMR’s battery dies in 2 hours. The payload-to-weight ratio kills you. The arm weighs 20kg and lifts 5. Mobile manipulation? A forklift with a wrist! @2nisi and Dimitris Sako, two brothers in Zurich (@duatic_ag), spent years inside ETH’s Robotic Systems Lab staring at this exact problem. Their answer: control the muscle. They built their own Quasi-Direct Drive actuators from scratch. And an arm around them. And a robot around the arm. The DynaArm weighs 9 kg. Lifts 12. IP66. Backdrivable!!! …meaning it feels contact like a human arm does. Payload-to-weight ratio is inverted….the arm lifts more than itself! Their Alpha robot puts two of these on a wheeled base that carries 200 kg. Vision-guided. Hot-swappable batteries. Built for floor-to-shelf, not for selfies at trade shows (even though those are pretty good too). A machine that actually works in a warehouse. This is the European robotics playbook done right: deep hardware R&D → vertical integration → real product. Watch these two, and their team. I’m a huge fan of their work! 👋 —— Weekly robotics and AI insights. Subscribe free: 22astronauts.com

Having timestamped proof that you can do hard things today might help you in 5-10 years. Make a YouTube video or a project writeup(with photos) on X/Medium/etc. It doesn't need to get views, it needs a trustworthy timestamp on it, and enough detail to prove you learned something

Reindustrialize now.

@Jordan_W_Taylor Half the shortage is just balloons. Better use of the supply chain probably solves the rest.

Helium: It's a vital cryo coolant for hospital MRI machines, but supplies of the rare gas are tied up with the LNG fuel market. Helium from radioactive decay gets trapped in gas wells and is cryo-distilled: No gas, no helium. This is only the tip of the petrochemical iceberg...

@AP Half this shortage is just balloon gas.

Iran war halts Qatar helium output, threatening global tech supply chains apnews.com/article/iran-c…

@shanaka86 @veronken 5-7% of helium usage is literally balloon gas So half this shortage is banning balloons for 3-5 years.

This is the most important piece of technology analysis published since the war began. Read every word. My good friend @veronken just connected a chain that nobody in Silicon Valley, Wall Street, or the Pentagon has connected in a single document. The chain: a missile hits a gas facility in Qatar. The gas facility produces helium as a byproduct of LNG liquefaction. Qatar produces 33 percent of the world’s helium. All three Ras Laffan helium plants have been offline since March 2. QatarEnergy’s CEO confirmed the strikes reduced helium export capacity by 14 percent with repairs taking three to five years. One-third of the world’s supply of a gas that cannot be manufactured, only extracted from billion-year geological decay, removed from the market by the same missiles that took out 17 percent of global LNG. Helium is not a balloon gas. It is the most critical process gas in chipmaking. Its thermal conductivity is six times nitrogen. In plasma etching, the step that carves nanoscale circuits into silicon, there is no deployed substitute at scale. The chips do not get made without helium. The AI does not train without the chips. South Korea imports 64.7 percent of its helium from Qatar. South Korea is home to SK Hynix, which holds 62 percent of the global High Bandwidth Memory market, the single component NVIDIA cannot build an H100 or Blackwell without. NVIDIA accounts for 27 percent of SK Hynix’s total revenue. The $54.6 billion HBM market that Bank of America calls a 2026 supercycle depends on fabs that are now losing their helium, their oil, and their LNG from the same chokepoint simultaneously. Seoul imposed fuel rationing on March 25. QatarEnergy declared force majeure on South Korean LNG contracts on March 24. Here is where Veron’s analysis goes beyond anything I have seen from Fortune, Bloomberg, Fitch, or any institutional research desk. South Korea does not just make the memory. South Korea builds the ships. Korean shipyards delivered 83.8 percent of global LNG carriers over the past five years. They hold two-thirds of the global orderbook. The world needs more LNG carriers to replace Qatar’s lost output. The country that builds those carriers is the same country being energy-starved by the loss of that output. The feedback loop is closed. The energy crisis hits the shipyards. The shipyard delays worsen the energy crisis. The energy crisis hits the fabs. The fab delays worsen the AI supply chain. One country. Three vulnerabilities. One chokepoint. The buffers are real and Veron states them honestly. SK Hynix holds six months of stockpile. Samsung’s recycling system cuts consumption 18 percent. Over 70 percent of leading fabs recycle 80 to 95 percent of process helium. These buy time. Not immunity. If the strait reopens within 60 days, the supply chain exhales. If closure extends past six months, stockpiles thin and the structural deficit has no solution because the US cannot rapidly scale and Russia’s Amur plant faces sanctions. This is the Nitrogen Trap applied to silicon. The same thesis this series demonstrated for diesel, sulfuric acid, and fertiliser now applies to the noble gas that makes AI physically possible. Jensen Huang’s roadmap runs on atoms before it runs on bits. The atoms are helium. The helium comes from Qatar. Qatar is offline. And the country that fabricates the memory and builds the replacement ships is being triple-starved by the same strait that Fink says determines whether we get $40 oil or $150 oil. Read @veronken’s X Article. It is the best piece of supply chain analysis I have seen this year so far. The AI boom was built on an assumption so fundamental nobody stated it: that the physical world would cooperate. The physical world has stopped cooperating. The atoms are stuck. And the bits cannot move without them.

Reliving the 60s in your 60s with a young female hippy is the new midlife crisis.

Is the nanny state the great fermi filter?

@JohnCleese John I admire you speaking out for the British culture. Well Done.

The British cultural heritage is based on Christ's teaching And Christ's teaching is NOT about acquiring power. Read the Beatitudes ! The Koran's teaching is ALL about acquiring power, killing 'infidels' and imposing Islam on everyone That why the British tradition is vastly superior, and more respectful of human dignity

Has anyone experimented with a 3D printing slicer where you generate little vertical voids, then every so often the head comes by and basically injects plastic down into the voids? I could picture it getting into the layer seams, and dramatically improving layer adhesion.
