@Xaraphim 😂 literally in real time as I wrote it 😆 the design is actually a really elegant way to save space though. It’s like the opposite of the design priorities of the SR71 engine. That’s all ducts and expansive layouts for literal ram effects.

@Xaraphim I wonder if the is some kind of inertial loss from gases having to change direction and impart there inertia. It probably turn into a rise in pressure. Maybe that's the whole point now that I think about it.

linus from LTT bought a dassault falcon 900B with three freshly overhauled honeywell TFE731-5BRs that overhaul runs roughly $1M per engine. three million dollars in turbomachinery and the comment section is yelling at his for spending his own money let’s talk about the engine

@packyM Any idea when it will be capable of producing antenna designs? Perhaps even ceramics?

The first RF circuit designed fully autonomously from a text prompt.

@_i_am_arya Can it design dielectric antennas?

Today, we're announcing Heaviside, our foundation model for electromagnetism. Trained on tens of millions of designs and over 20 years of proprietary simulation data, Heaviside predicts electromagnetic behavior from geometry in 13ms, which is 800,000x faster than a commercial solver. Heaviside is not a language model, and it’s not a surrogate model. Heaviside marks a new class of foundation model for physics which understands the fundamental relationships between materials, the geometries and the electromagnetic fields they generate. We’re releasing a research preview of Heaviside in Atlas RF Studio, an interactive agentic sandbox where you describe the EM behavior you want and the model generates the physical structure that produces it. @arenaphysica , we believe the implications of this class of model extend well beyond RF, as the frontier of exquisite hardware is electromagnetically-governed: wireless communication, radar, power delivery, high-speed computing, and the interconnects inside every chip on earth. In the months ahead, we’re excited to scale up Heaviside to broader frequency ranges, design spaces, and to support silicon-level designs, and deploy it with our closest partners and collaborators in service of their biggest design challenges. If you’ve read our thesis, this is just Step 2 in our pursuit of electromagnetic superintelligence.

Getting a little motion

@j4ppleby @Inevitablewest @grok was she gang rapped and did that contribute to her volition to kill herself

What a difference a headline makes.

@arcticinstincts @nikitabier This seems fair

Hello @nikitabier you need to remove Singapore from getting mixed up in the Southeast Asia reply group option. You know Singapore is a first world country right? We shouldn’t be punished from blanket region bans just bc Ian miles cheong is Malaysian

@DschlopesIsBack @grok is this plan fake?

Still one of the craziest and strangest things that I’ve ever seen 🤷‍♂️

@yacineMTB Laughs in Lockstitch

My bar for mechanical engineers is whether I think they could design and build a manual hand crank sewing machine if I put them in a basement with all the tools they needed for a month

@Xaraphim This is one of those “it’s not stupid if it works” type deals because exploding your parts to remove burrs sounds really stupid. But apparently it works. I’ll be damned

has anyone here ever used this process? this is the first i’m hearing about it it’s kinda insane that there are still so many process i have no idea about i can’t even recall hearing a reference to this

@norpadon @gork what in the mathematical fuck does this mean?

The main goal of Bayesian ML research is to show that all methods which have previously been shown to work well in practice are somehow approximately Bayesian

@yacineMTB There are ceramic filled resins. I have some. I used it to make low volume injection moulding tools. The bottle is heavy like a piece of rock and so are the tools it makes.

Does it have to be metal? Can you make it out of SLA printed resin? Questions I ask myself while waiting for training runs at 10:30pm Are there ceramic resins out there? Surely someone has figured out the chemistry

What's the smallest ramjet that you could make? Seems really 3dprintable

@yacineMTB Bruh, I believe in me too. And you!

i know i'm going to win. so i'm going to bet on myself. it's legal insider trading

@yacineMTB 🥹

@Xaraphim 15 - 20% bleed is crazy. Imagine how much air they would be pushing out of those blades

every turbine blade you have ever seen is a compromise that someone settled for enjoy this accidental thread

@antoniogm @grok can you find me the URL for this report?

Anthropic's AI usage by country ranking is basically a "technologically-advanced, wealthy countries doing cool shit" ranking.

@RichardXRPL @kcqzee Oooooo yeah, I live in Melbourne. Some of these Commies will be gooning it to the confirm ID screen. They love following the rules and being told they can’t do something.

@kcqzee Tbh the whole population perpetually gets off on "govern me harder daddy" so this is nothing new.

Australia so cooked rn - can’t buy fuel - can’t buy house - can’t goon

@MissingAFew90 Nylon has a very favourable strength to weight ratio. A bit like Aluminium

@backyhouse Well don't leave me hanging, what's the reason?!

They call it Black Aluminium for a reason

@Xaraphim No problemo!

@backyhouse i’ll look into it thanks bud !!

due to the current geopolitical climate, the contact i had lined up to help with laser scanning is completely slammed and just isn’t able to help right now. sometimes, factors way outside of our control impact things, and you just have to roll with it i’m grateful he even wanted to help in the first place but national security takes precedence, and the work he’s doing right now matters a lot more than my jet engine we will find another path forward and keep the momentum going absolute WORST case i manually draw everything (please no)
