@ghosts_host @DustinWalper i'd love a full process video, but this 10s clip shows standard fitup for steel structures.

@willjust_ @DustinWalper Focused area heating for controlled tempering to ideal specs. There are many options honestly, even gets down to how you order the assembly process. What's manageable for task and tools given. What can be done by hand to what only machines can do relatively speaking

Fit-up of bent or warped material is one of the most challenging aspects of autonomous shipbuilding.
This lil’ snippet from an upcoming video shows how we’re solving that problem.
The future of shipbuilding will look very different from the past.
English
@DustinWalper Hiding a warp not fixing it. Unless there's more but that's unstated in post
English
@MatthewChang @DustinWalper you do it post-welding (if it is important) since welding creates so much stress. its called PWHT or post-weld heat treat. it's also important to help the hydrogen diffuse out of the metal, and hydrogen creates cracks.
English
@DustinWalper Do you want to remove the stress first, or doesn’t matter because it all gets welded into a structural assembly?

@MrSaneApps @bscholl or start a subsidiary in another country and keep them there. trump is so egotistical, "trumpcard.gov" should not have surprised me. what an embarassment
English
@willjust_ @bscholl lol bro it ends with .gov it’s an official site. They are selling green cards for huge money to businesses. Which is why they’re hitting individuals on this side.
Basically if Big Tech thinks these guys are worth Billions then pay a million if you want them.
English
I understand why we don’t want people to come to the US to be criminals, mooch on welfare, open learing centers and otherwise undermine the country.
But I don’t understand why we make it harder for motivated, ambitious, hardworking people to come to the land of opportunity.
Homeland Security@DHSgov
An alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply. This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes. The era of abusing our nation’s immigration system is over.
English
@MrSaneApps @bscholl oh i thought that was a phishing attempt
English
@willjust_ @bscholl The link is right there look it up and read about it. It explains.
Also, I’m surprised you haven’t heard of this. Trump‘s been talking about this since his last administration.
English
@willjust_ @bscholl Sigh no that’s not the point.
It’s a push to get people to use this path basically
trumpcard.gov
English
@MrSaneApps @bscholl so the US should kick people like elon musk and jensen huang out? We should encourage smart, ambitious people to come here and build.

@Nick_Davidov @patriotEng1neer @PeachesMcGee22 @Carmen50 The people who founded this nation were not “immigrants” dude, how unserious and ahistorical.
English
The biggest bullshit move by DHS in its history. So everyone on a O1 or H1B visa would have to stop working legally in the US, go back to their country and wait for years of backlog? This includes top scientists in our universities, founders of billion dollar companies (at least 3 just in our portfolio would be affected by the way). And if we look at individual countries it becomes even more bs. Indians would have to wait decades. Russians don’t have anywhere to go (there is no US embassy in Russia, hello?).
This is the worst imaginable way to disrupt important work for the country and pretend you’re fighting some loophole.

@Ajem47 @BobFromAccounts "where not to do so could result in a collision" - you, just now
English
@BobFromAccounts I was taught that the horn is used to warn other road users of your approach where not to do so could result in a collision, such as when approaching a blind bend on a narrow road. There could be a group of cyclists or pedestrians in the road.
English
Drivers, do not honk your horn at a person riding a bicycle, ever.
*reasons to use your horn:
imminent danger of a collision with another motorised vehicle : see HC
*reasons not:
at cyclists
at pedestrians
outside a house because you can't be arsed to walk to the door
Cycliq@Cycliq
Just because it’s legal to drive, it doesn’t mean you should weaponise it. That horn blaring was an intentional act of intimidation and violence.
English
@CooperZurad can confirm - there has never been a spring used in space. Every video you see is simply using them to distract you from the true mechanism.

@MattGialich i always love seeing rack mount boxes that never actually end up in a rack
English
I know you’re supposed to put nice pictures on here. This is the real world, and this is what testing really looks like. Thermal vacuum testing is a mess of wires, bulkheads, temperature sensors, and loads.
This is the real magic of space.

The urban core generates almost all of a typical U.S. city's tax revenue but most of it goes to fund roads, sewer lines, power lines et al in suburbs.
If suburbs paid for themselves, rather than leaching off the city, I think a lot more people would be live and let live on this.
Richie Rich@Atomic_Ferret
@Euthenos_ Rural people and suburbanites do not care one bit abt how city people choose to live. You do you. Urban collectivists make it their life’s mission to ensure everyone lives exactly like they do.

@GoingBallistic5 @SanderGoossens “Hi here is your $500k solution. Might a suggest buying a $500 camera instead?”
English
@SanderGoossens The downstream process is already fixed
The scanner is below because a second label is attached on top
Hence the need to flip
It's the customer requirement and cannot be modified because it's an existing facility
English
The task is to flip the packages label side down if necessary, not move to a parallel conveyor
Your example cannot do that
First understand the nature of a problem before proposing a solution

Unfortunately Frank, Rose, Bob and Gary the humanoids all just lost their jobs to a pair of faster, lower cost, more reliable robot arms. Superhuman robots will beat humanoids for every industrial application with scale.

@McK_Sand @somefoundersalt @ApoStructura Anyone with a prototype, though they do pretty “big” satellites now with their MP42 bus. They recently did a SAR mission which looked really cool
English
@willjust_ @somefoundersalt @ApoStructura Ah fair. Different markets than I'm thinking of, I think. Do you know offhand what kind of customers NA generally sells to?
English
The time of bespoke fully custom satellites is over.
The era of standardized off the shelf solutions is upon us.
It makes sense for the industry to be headed there now that launch is becoming a lot more affordable with reusability
Vast@vast
Vast is expanding into high-power satellites. Introducing our new line of high-power satellite buses that leverage the technologies we’ve developed in-house for our Haven-1 space station and validated with the success of our Haven Demo mission. vastspace.com/satellites

@McK_Sand @somefoundersalt @ApoStructura True - companies like NanoAvionics fly every few months, have good sized busses, and a much better price than any American bus provider
English
@willjust_ @somefoundersalt @ApoStructura I mean there's TRL9 and TRL9. Kind of like the difference between "heritage" and "heritage (pejorative)."

@peterrhague For your sanity - I recommend ignore the bike/car discourse on the internet. I learned the hard way
English
All those motorists convinced that they can cross a cyclists path whenever they choose to and the bike has to just stop; I’m dying to know how you would turn left from the right lane at this often busy road near Cambridge station. Do you get to ignore the car lane too?
