It’s kinda crazy that another county just joined the war on the ground for Russia and there hasn’t been a huge response. I hope Ukraine’s allies can really step up the support, maybe even responding in kind by sending engineering forces.

Their recent launches have been using field Russia more commonly uses, so they might be getting Russian engines.

I thought it was taking about Boeing Defense, Space and security, which also wouldn’t really make sense.

Yeah, it would make them a lot harder to spot on infra red cameras.

Most NATO countries are assuming air dominance, which would make drones less survivable. They really thrive in a contested environment.

Planter doesn’t work very well, they shrivel and rot within a few weeks.

I thought it was pretty fun to play around with making limericks and rap battles with friends, but I haven’t found a particularly usefull use case for LLMs.

Okay, that’s resistive heating. So it’ll be the same efficiency as a oil heater or any space heater. So heating less space with it will save money.

Most all forms of heating are near 100% efficient, since it’s the waste heat you want. Unless the central heating is using a heat pump instead. Does your central heating use gas heating? If so, using it will probably be cheaper. If it uses resistive heating, the individual unit might be cheaper. But if it uses a heat pump, it might be cheaper to use central again. There are a lot of variables it’s hard to know.

Same, thought they were talking about preping a dnd encounter.

Current ruling party is more friendly with Russia, right?

But if you got $5000 at 0.7% yearly interest rate for 2000 years, you’d get to Musk’s wealth. You can only get that high with compound interest with investments, rather than earning money.

Apparently they do want it.

So for example, they could go after you in Russia for explaining why you decided not to have kids because of the environmental impact if it’s implied you encourage others to do the same.

I wonder what will be counted as propaganda. Russian laws are usually loose about that sort of thing so they can have an excuse to silence whoever they want.

Yeah, space Force bought the launches? With star shield, the DOD bought space on starlink sats.

You taking neutron? That still has a disposable upper stage.

US buys launches at the same rate as everyone else. NASA chipped in a few million to get falcon 9 off the ground, but they haven’t been subsidizing for years.

Looks more like the mitchells vs the machines to me.

But a very small portion of human activity is developing chips or launching rockets. Most of it is manufacturing disposable junk or building roads/buildings.
