After the terafab presentation, they should put up a different sign saying “gateway to LEO” 🫠

After watching Project Hail Mary, I’m convinced Hollywood has to end. I’m sure a kid in high school with some taste could have made a movie thousand times better in a day in his bedroom with seedance.

@NikTek Because have you seen how the video you posted looks? Hello?

Why isn't Unity being used as much as Unreal Engine 5 to develop realistic-looking games?

@thejackbeyer @projecthailmary @NicAnsuini Aaaaaand the movie was the silliest, longest thing I’ve seen in a long while 🥲

About to see @projecthailmary (15 perf 70mm) with @NicAnsuini… *jazz hands*

@dpoddolphinpro Heh they said “future starliner missions” that’s funny

STARLINER: I asked if a @Boeing representative was invited to today's press conference, and if @NASA's mishap classifications are appropriate for the modern day. @NASAAdmin Jared Isaacman: The mishap classification is standardized across agencies - the same standard applies to aircraft, ships, etc, across the government. Isaacman also made multiple references to a Boeing statement - looking across their social media feeds & website, I can't find it. The question on if a Boeing representative was invited was unanswered. 📷 @NASA

@HillCo_Space @SciGuySpace It still does because there was always a crew dragon ready. But yeah I get what you mean

@SciGuySpace So uh… Astros stranded in space doesn’t sounds as crazy now does it?

Here's the full, 312-page report of findings from the Program Investigation Team regarding the Starliner crew flight test. nasa.gov/news-release/n…

@SciGuySpace Dear lord

Two years later, this remains hands-down the best page on the internet. Full stop. boeing.com/features/2024/…

@forloopcodes Right click menu taking 3+ seconds to render predates AI.

I hate that Microsoft might be vibecoding Windows, but it's inevitable microsoft laid off everyone who knows how c++ works so now they just prompt gpt 5 to fix the codebase. 30% of windows is written by ai. that is why your printer drivers were deleted to make room for 4gb of copilot telemetry they rewrote office in typescript. file explorer and the notification center are now just bloated electron instances that take 3 seconds to render a right click menu the taskbar and start menu were rebuilt from scratch in react just to shove ads and "recommended" bloatware in your face. it uses more ram than world of warcraft did in 2004 copilot is being forced into notepad and paint. they are forcing you to test it in your basic tools windows search isn't looking for your files. it's a bing wrapper designed to sell you a microsoft 365 subscription while you're desperately trying to find a local pdf the widgets section is another bloat that nobody asked for. edge webview was designed to keep your cpu usage high enough that you're forced to switch to linux over all of that, the task manager barely works in the latest updates nobody at microsoft knows what "win32" means anymore. they replaced their support forums with an ai that just tells you to "try restarting" if your kernel panics

@mark_k Because code AI just works, and art AI is (STILL, after all this time) awful and useless for any kind of actual production, besides eye candy stills. You still don’t really have absolute creative control over it, and it still fails to properly understand what you tell it.

Why are devs so 'pro-AI' while artists are so 'anti'? 🗣️ It feels like coders are leaning into the tech to work faster, but creators are genuinely angry and frustrated by it. Is the difference just that programmers are used to constant change, or is the impact on their jobs just fundamentally different? Would love to hear some insights on why these two groups are reacting so differently!

And I’m just sitting here waiting for an AI model that can generate consistent characters 🫠🫠🫠

@andrewpprice I

Suffice to say, AI is past generating 6-fingers.

My not so small account posting to absolutely ZERO engagement

@lexfridman Correction: programming is now POSSIBLE to most people thanks to AI.

Programming is now 10x more fun with AI.

@RealestMemes_ Sorry but only the second from left to right is actual lighting (2700k). All the other are mental disorders.

@TOAnimate_ Literally nobody ever said that.

@rookisaacman @TheBrandonTitus @elonmusk @SpaceX @grok Ladies and gentlemen, the myth, the legend, the isaacman

@TheBrandonTitus @elonmusk @SpaceX @grok Send me a DM and we can try to get you all out to the Crew 12 launch at KSC.

Dear Elon (@elonmusk, @SpaceX, @grok), My name is Brandon Titus (@TheBrandonTitus) and I’m writing this with a heavy heart and a sliver of hope, knowing it’s a longshot for you to even see it amid everything on your plate. But as the creator of Grok (who helped draft this), you know better than anyone how AI can amplify voices that might otherwise go unheard. If there’s any “inside track” or way to bump this up—maybe through xAI channels or your team—I’m begging for that edge, because this is the most important request I’ve ever made. Once my dad’s gone, there’s no second chance. He’s 67, fought liver cancer for five grueling years since retiring, and now his health is fading fast. He hasn’t been the same since the July 4th floods, which wiped out everything including my family’s home and my father’s motorhome. I swam through raging waters to pull him off the roof of my tool shed. My sister relocated him to Marble Falls so she could aid with his medical care while my wife and I rebuild our house for us and 5 or our 7 children that still live at home. My father has always been rocket-obsessed, from my earliest childhood memories of him explaining launches to me and the two of us building / launching Estes Rockets of all sizes. Then you come along and single handedly saved our nations freedom of speech and seared your name in my father’s heart. You’re one of few people he’s ever held in such high regard. When you caught that first booster, he was transfixed, grinning ear-to-ear like I hadn’t seen in years. Heck, He started an X account solely to keep up with and track SpaceX milestones; it’s been his brightest light through the cancer battles. I never thought I’d see him integrate with technology. His final lap is weighing heavy on me and memories are my top priority. He has 1 desire (His only bucket list item): Seeing a launch live. Starbase in Texas would be perfect—we’re close, and I can get him there. But with no dates on the near calendar, I’d scrape together funds, I’d even take a second mortgage if needed for Florida, it’s that important. I will figure out the finances if there’s any way you could make it personal—a meet-and-greet, or even just a quick video message—it’d be priceless. His birthday is coming up on February 6. I’m not confident hell see another one. Honestly Elon, you’re building the future Dad’s always dreamed of. I would be forever grateful if you were able to help me make this memory happen. If there’s any chance this makes hits your radar, know that there couldn’t be a better man for this to happen to. His name is Michael Titus! DM, reply or anything Deepest Regards, 🤞🏻 Brandon Titus

@TynanSylvester A game should be 90% story and 10% mechanics. Otherwise I’d go play cards or billiard.

A game idea should be at least 90% mechanics and less than 10% story. Any more than 10% story is a red flag.

@PeranWuk @ShopNSF Oh you’re in for a treat!

@ShopNSF @fael097 Could we have one of these for starship?

SLS headed to the pad ahead of the historic Artemis II mission. We dropped a special edition assembly instruction design just for SLS don’t miss it: shop.nasaspaceflight.com/s/yt-artemis-ii This new design was created by the very talented Rafael @fael097
