@AndyMasley I actually think polymarket is pretty interesting and useful, but their social media is dire
English
Basically every single thing Polymarket posts is wildly misleading. The actual prediction market here is for any state anywhere to pass a local moratorium. Do you think that's what people are taking away?
I have zero respect for their social media team.
Polymarket@Polymarket
JUST IN: An AI data center moratorium is now projected to pass this year as protests intensify nationwide. 85% chance.

@formulawah Jason Plato was my childhood icon... Got to meet him a few times when he was racing for MG
English
@AveryChenier There is a very real chance he becomes the franchise leader in games played before his 30th birthday
English
Tonight, Vladimir Guerrero Jr will become the 12th player to play 1000 games as a Toronto Blue Jay. 451 more to become the franchise leader.

@Robotbeat The liquid rocket engine I built recently can be fired by running "./Gryphon-III fire" on the control computer terminal lol
English
Who will be brave enough to make a spacecraft cockpit controlled by keyboard and mouse?
Someone Named Tygget@Tygget
Idk if this is a hot take but I absolutely loathe the interiors of both starship hls and bloomoon This sleek "sci fi" aesthetic is so boring. I want BUTTONS, DIALS, A THOUSAND CHUNKY SCREENS, I want spacecraft to look like the advanced machines they are, not cheap toys!

@BaseballWRLD_ Does that say TEN stolen bases?? Bro how does he do it with his body type

The latest megadeal for a top young player: Shortstop Kevin McGonigle and the Detroit Tigers are in agreement on an eight-year, $150 million contract extension. A massive windfall that locks up the 21-year-old well into the next decade.

Im making a list of non-hall of fame athletes who will never have to buy a drink again for the rest of their lives (and city). So far I have:
Mike Richter - NYC
Robert Horry - Multiple
Alex Gordon - KC
Nick Foles - Philly
The more obscure the better. Post yours👇

Some of my AI feeling hangs on the notion that humans probably overban technology. Like make a list of technologies that were overregulated vs underregulated.
For a time overregulated
Nuclear power
Genetic engineering
GMOs
Fracking
Lending
For a time underregulated
Cigarettes (maybe)
Social media (maybe)
Monarchy
Aspestos

Mason Miller is a cheat code. 60 feet 6 inches is simply not the right distance for someone throwing that hard with that breaker. He should be playing up in a league that doesn’t exist or something.
English
@davepl1968 Hot take: This *is* what a modern control centre for a multi-billion dollar project looks like. It's not aesthetically pleasing but it's extremely functional.
The control centres at CERN and ITER look basically identical.
English
Hot Take: When you're spending a few billion anyway, make the control center look like it. This should be the set from Wargames at a minimum, not a hotel meeting room with a projector.
English
@picapixels The problem is that aesthetically, specialist devices like the computers on the desks for Apollo look fucking sick, but have been surpassed by the generalist devices in every way
English
@BrodieOnLinux I would like to see something to support this. USB-C is rated as standard to 10,000 cycles while USB-A is only 1,500.
Not to mention USB-C is just a far superior connector electrically. It's not just an aesthetic choice.
English
USB A are cheap, and very robust. People who are obsessed with USB C never want to address the fact that it's a really fragile connector, nowhere near as bad Micro USB but in no world a replacement for USB A.
Scott Wessman@scottew
feels like the world collectively overinvested in USB-A infrastructure

do I read 17776 even if I don’t care about football

@mirandareinert I thought Fool Time was excellent, one of my favourite series by him. The Scorigami series was just ok, a bit repetitive
English
@DJSnM I got the chance to chat to an ESA astronaut last year. He said when he trained in Russia he was shocked at how far they had fallen. He said the country had plenty of high quality engineers, but they were all leaving to either the private sector or other countries.
English
It’s almost sad to see how far Russia’s spaceflight capabilities have fallen.
Katya Pavlushchenko@katlinegrey
The launches of #Luna28, #Luna29 and #Luna30 have been postponed, said Sergey Chernyshev, Vice President of the Russian Academy of Sciences. According to his presentation at the RAS meeting, the launch of the Luna-29 is expected in 2032, Luna-30 in 2034, and Luna-28 in 2036.

@KenKirtland17 Between Artemis II and Project Hail Mary, space really is having a moment
English
Artemis 2 has been THE premier cultural event for several days straight now, surpassing even my expectations. I expect it to stay pretty relevant through splashdown.
Ken Kirtland IV@KenKirtland17
The attention for Artemis 2 will perk up decently the day before, and massively the day of / after launch. Then again with moon pics and splashdown. Niche interest (even as big as this is) doesn't capture attention days out.
English
@Robotbeat Right yeah I do totally agree, but where is this lander? I am somewhat skeptical they have done very much work on it so far
English
These idiots have no idea that SpaceX has already spent far more on Starship than they got for either of their HLS contracts. NASA got a deal. $20-30B is how much a minimal NHRO lander would cost if developed by NASA using NASA's cost model. SpaceX got $3B for a crew landing.
Mustache Bob@MustacheBob2
Starship will never reach the moon. It is designed to steal money, not to work.
