@zackslab @willreil Yeah, conformal coatings usually need >4 W/cm² with LEDs. Otherwise you’re stuck waiting a week for the moisture-based cure.

@willreil you may need higher wattage UV. idk about solder mask but i've done my own conformal coating and needed to get a specific wavelength of UV and a fair amount of power for it to actually cure.

Appropriated a UV curing station from my fiancé for solder resist. I’m slowly collecting everything I need

@poperespecter1 Catholics are clearly not very good at telling when something is fake.

Something big is happening.

@SpaceX Not sure that the moon has accessible raw materials to make this make sense within the next few decades, but at least it’s cool.

Electromagnetic mass drivers on the Moon

Accidentally told a bald engineer that I would “stay out of your hair”

@wk057 @Starlink It did for me at 140 kts a few months ago. Not sure about now, and my (now useless) Local Priority plan renewed yesterday. Honestly insane.

@jsonhess @Starlink Does the $5/mo one actually work at ~200 kts? Honestly being able to get/send a text reliably is sufficient for me.

@Starlink just rugged the general aviation folks for sure. Just spotted this. Their ToS/FAQ had specific speed limits and such for the normal plans, and I went with that when deciding to install Starlink. Now they a) pull that with zero notice (good thing I didn't need it for anything today!) and b) effectively 5x more expensive + data. @elonmusk What gives?

@ShawnChittle @CJHandmer But he’s not wrong. SLS really needs to be killed before it kills people.

If a few people do the right thing, that so-called rocket will never roll back to the pad and instead be converted into a permanent museum/memorial/warning to mixing political expedience and engineering. Remember, we're told that Artemis II's Apollo 13 once around the Moon profile is oh-so-important. But just the cost of just these two months of launch delays is more than enough to launch a Falcon Heavy+Dragon on exactly the same mission, with considerably less fuss and considerably less risk. For the ongoing cost of SLS+Orion we could launch a crewed lunar flyby on Falcon Heavy every month! Every day that Congress and NASA prolongs the agony of this program is a day that the CCP takes comfort in our inability to pragmatically govern ourselves and moves closer to snatching territory in Taiwan and the Moon.

@anduriltech Same video?

There are THOUSANDS of people that think Earth's pole wobble (which fluctuates periodically) is ending, resulting in a large axis shift and biblical flooding. It won't end, and even if it did, there would be no real effect. Axial shifts take millions of years.

@ID_AA_Carmack So PingFS, but actually useful. youtu.be/JcJSW7Rprio github.com/yarrick/pingfs

256 Tb/s data rates over 200 km distance have been demonstrated on single mode fiber optic, which works out to 32 GB of data in flight, “stored” in the fiber, with 32 TB/s bandwidth. Neural network inference and training can have deterministic weight reference patterns, so it is amusing to consider a system with no DRAM, and weights continuously streamed into an L2 cache by a recycling fiber loop. The modern equivalent of the ancient mercury echo tube memories. You would need to pipeline a bunch of them to implement modern trillion parameter models, but fiber transmission may have a better growth trajectory than DRAM does today, so it might someday become viable. Much more practically, you should be able to gang cheap flash memory together to provide almost any read bandwidth you require, as long as it is done a page at a time and pipelined well ahead. That should be viable for inference serving today if flash and accelerator vendors could agree on a high speed interface.

@Oracle Everything is fine for another year, we promise! Revenue will reach the necessary levels any day now.

The NVIDIA-OpenAI deal has zero impact on our financial relationship with OpenAI. We remain highly confident in OpenAI’s ability to raise funds and meet its commitments.

@SpaceX Good luck.

@Tesla Please ensure that the autonomous future also includes vehicles that can be driven manually. Teslas are some of the most fun vehicles to drive (and be driven by). “Amazing abundance” should include steering wheels wherever possible.

As we shift to an autonomous future, Model S & X production will wind down next quarter. If you’d like to own one of them, now’s a good time to place your order. Tesla wouldn’t be what it is today without Model S & X and their (early) owners – thank you for your support over the last decade

@SawyerMerritt An autonomous Cybertruck with a wheel would be much more useful (and fun!) than one without. Elon continues to pointlessly shoot himself in the foot at every opportunity here. CT sales would plummet even further.

Elon Musk on the future of the Cybertruck: "We will transition the Cybertruck line to a full autonomous vehicle line. An autonomous Cybertruck could be very useful."

@SawyerMerritt This is so disappointing. Half of the appeal of a 3/Y is that they’re a cheap, fun-to-drive commuter car that also happens to be able to drive itself when you want it to.

Elon Musk: "In the future, the only vehicles we'll make are autonomous vehicles and the Roadster. We're hoping to debut the Roadster in April."

@RomainHedouin Unplug any of the main forward camera connections (at windshield, along a pillar, or behind glovebox) until AP status says “Shutdown” in service mode. It’ll go into a lower power state, easily reversed by reconnect and DAS reset. Realistically only saving closer to 50W, btw.

Could I theoretically improve my Tesla's energy efficiency by unplugging the FSD computer? That would save ~100 W which is considerable Would the car keep functioning normally?

@growing_daniel @harrrmy Daniel, thanks again for saving my family and pets from that house fire. Going back inside 4 times was such a selfless act.

@harrrmy Hello

@SenateGOP Sounds kinda lame, guys.

America’s seniors will see a new $6,000 bonus exemption as a part of the Working Families Tax Cut. That’s $93 billion in tax cuts for seniors all over the country.

@elonmusk Sure, but removing Autopilot will hurt sales more than it increases FSD subscription revenue. Not really fulfilling the “amazing abundance” mission either. Stop sending buyers to your competitors with these rash decisions.

I should also mention that the $99/month for supervised FSD will rise as FSD’s capabilities improve. The massive value jump is when you can be on your phone or sleeping for the entire ride (unsupervised FSD).

@GuyDealership If dealerships are so good, then let the consumers choose.

"Absolutely inexcusable why Colorado would approve (Scout selling direct to consumer). The franchise model provides the most value for the consumer. So why a manufacturer would wanna pursue it in the first place just doesn’t make sense to me." Scout’s approval to sell direct in Colorado is raising new questions for franchise dealers. Josh Johnson, CEO of Don Johnson Auto Group, breaks down what this means for dealer-OEM relationships.
