I fucking hate Musk but in what world is SpaceX unprofitable? If you’re talking about xAI then I’ll agree with you, but with the access to space and starlink/starshield wrapped up in it SpaceX is positioned as the most likely of the AI companies to receive a government bailout when the balloon pops.

I think you’re well on your way! Mother hen clucking over your family is 80% of mama-hood. Keep some snacks and Band-Aids in your purse and you’re golden.

You can compensate by lowering the oil temperature if you’re deep frying. If you’re using an air fryer you could start at a high temp for the crispy outside then lower the temp for the melt-y goodness.

We have the technology!

Only if you use the cheese sticks as is. You could cut the cheese sticks before battering and deep frying.

Or, hear me out; what’s wrong with six giant deep-fried sticks of cheese???

Sure the actors are alive but the characters are dead. Or undead. Non-living? Mortality-challenged? Vampires? Vampires.

Judging from pictures it does appear to retract forward. Makes sense to me considering the forces the landing gear would experience. If the hydraulic deployment mechanism were to fail midair you can still manually deploy it from the cockpit and it will fall and lock into place.

There are ways to non-destructively test for cracks and voids in various structural elements. Planes already go through very stringent inspection and maintenance cycles so various physical factors will already have a well-established baseline to compare to.

Some speculation; the damage may be far less than you’d think. Aircraft are (generally) designed to fail gracefully and the front landing gear is a mechanism that sees a lot of force during landing. I can’t tell if the assembly folds back into the landing gear bay or if it penetrates the fuselage without collapsing.

A whole sack of shit went wrong if the fuselage fell directly onto the gear assembly but if the landing gear “simply” folded back into the bay it could be a relatively easy repair. Airframe loading is extremely well-characterized and engineers are already running the numbers on what forces went where.

All that said; fuck McDonnell-Douglas. Boeing “acquired” them back in the 90s. Somehow the MDD board of directors (comprised of businessmen) took over leadership roles formerly held by people with engineering backgrounds. A lot of the failures and poor reputation Boeing has suffered in the past few decades are very likely related to that leadership change.

Got any grapes?

Looks like it was a test of a suppression system in New York. The jet is an F-16 judging by the single vertical stabilizer over a single integrated engine. I initially found the picture in this fire protection post but the source is probably this Air Force blog post which is now lacking a picture.

Cleanup would’ve been messy and likely pollute the surrounding area but an important aspect of fire suppression foam like this it that it wouldn’t harm the entirely-too-expensive aircraft.

Agreed, accuracy and sources are important!

FUTO has demonstrated other sketchy behavior. The relevant comments were collapsed when I opened the page FWIW.

Also, platforming Yarvin alone is enough for me to avoid FUTO. Everyone is free to draw their line in the sand where they will.

I edited my previous comment from “FUTO is Curtis Yarvin” to “FUTO is associated with Curtis Yarvin” to be more precise.

My split is currently 10% traditional “retirement target date” 20% small cap US and 70% International Index. All Vanguard. There are also emerging market and more granular international funds. Talk to your servicer.

I’m staunchly anti-genAI but consider other applications of traditional machine-learning less problematic. A purely local model for photo categorization seems, in theory, less objectionable to me. I’m sure models exist already but I’m purposefully out of the loop. Any suggestions for models I could look into? And just how much compute would something like that require?

I very nearly shared Artificial Brain! Dissonant/atmospheric DM hits different for sure.

They definitely aren’t in the same corner of DM as Ulcerate or Artificial Brain but if you dig avant-garde/proggy death I highly recommend Pleroma by Orgone.
