@xorbit1 I've followed this incredible project, I love it. Thank you for your work! I've read the last update in which you talk about the bed of nails. With the castellated edges you have, here is a better, quicker way than pogo pins: tag-connect.com/info/what-is-e…

On LEO Express 2, Mira recently completed the longest on-orbit burn in program history at 223 seconds. We performed the maneuver to adjust orbital parameters in preparation for future capability demonstrations. Inclination changes require big delta-v. They allow us to shift planes, set up new geometries, and expand what this vehicle can support on orbit. Lining up what comes next.

Anthropic just published which jobs AI is actually replacing right now. Not theory. Real world data. Programmers. Customer service. Data entry. Marketing. Sales. Finance. And the scary part? They say AI is only at 33% of its theoretical capability.

Europe does not innovate at all! 🇪🇺 Such statements have been appearing recently. Lately, we have been known for the fact that it is difficult to drink from our plastic bottles because of the regulated caps. Fortunately, this is not true. Spoiler: I now have a great strategy how to drink EU-capped bottles! Reach out if you have any problems! 🍼 Just look at the European startup ecosystem and the momentum that accompanies it. Btw. thanks for pushing this @andreasklinger (@euinc_petition) and @HarryStebbings (@ProjectEurope_) and all the contributors of this initiatives. And today I wanted to show you a robotics company that is creating real innovation right in the heart of beautiful Bavaria! 🥨 That's Filics! Founded in 2019 by engineers from the Technical University of Munich. They are developing a unique robot pairing that autonomously lifts and moves pallets using minimal floor space. Each of their units can carry up to 1.2 tons and maneuver with the speed of 1.2 m/s. The system's autonomous mobility allows it to drive completely underneath and through pallets placed on the floor, without requiring turning space, making it a standout solution for high-density warehouses. Future plans include adapting the technology for autonomous truck loading in under five minutes. Last year they have secured €13.5 million in fresh funding to scale its operations. 💰 There's more companies in Europe like this. I hope to put more of them in the spotlight this year, so they get the credits they deserve! 🦾 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news → ziegler.substack.com

@svpino Then why use this junk? Computers are supposed to be deterministic, if they are, they can save you time. If they're not, they just waste your time and no this will not get better, it's central to this grifter technology. So get off the hamster wheel the billionaires put you on.

First signal for the end of what I’ve always called “the platform problem” for #AI. It’s not about the platform anymore, it’s about actions. It’s about AI acting, not chatting. venturebeat.com/technology/ope…

@bml_khubbard An imprecise way to specify something will never be as good as a precise way. Plus it's a good idea to preserve your own knowledge so you're not helpless in a couple of years when the bubble bursts and AI either goes away or you will have to pay the unsubsidized price.

I never learned to use the slide ruler my Dad gave me. It hangs on my wall, right next to my college HP32S. I'm sure it's an amazing tool, I just don't know how to use it. I'm having the same relationship with RegEx now. AI knows RegEx, and well, that's all I need going forward.

@omgsidewalks My folks had 7 acres of Apples. An acre is 1/7th of their orchard. I can picture it to this day.

It's funny that these retards think @elonmusk had a sudden eureka moment where he decided to abandon Mars for the Moon. In reality, SpaceX has prioritized the Moon in the short term to learn how to build a base on another planetary body, since it’s closer to Earth and enables economic opportunities that support the long-term goal of Mars.

If you ever feel dumb just remember it took Elon Musk 15 years to realize the moon was a lot closer than Mars.

The next challenge in space is on-orbit mobility. When spacecraft can maneuver precisely, reliably, and responsively, everything accelerates: stations, satellites, logistics, exploration, and the orbital economy at large. We’re excited to provide the propulsion system for @vast's Haven Demo and Haven-1. Building the enabling infrastructure that lets others unlock their missions is how we move toward a real Space Age. #MobilizeSpace
Vast@vast

Haven Demo has successfully completed its initial perigee-lowering maneuver to demonstrate the spacecraft's ability to perform a controlled deorbit. The spacecraft engaged its orbit-maneuvering thrusters for approximately 14 minutes, lowering perigee by ~170km.
