I’m sure Intel makes all sorts of chips for military hardware.

They won’t be allowed to die. How will the missile be able to subtract where it isn’t from where it is if the chip that does the subtracting isn’t made anymore.

I’m wouldn’t be surprised if there hasn’t been a full investigation into the intel fabs due to this. If consumer chips have been melting themselves for years due to shit manufacturing, shouldn’t someone in the DOD be asking if the chips in their fancy missiles are going to melt themselves halfway to the target?

Better yet, ask nasa, ULA, and ESA about how they needed to move fast and break things for their rockets that worked flawlessly on the first launch while actually fulfilling a mission.

The problem is that this strategy is becoming more popular in physical product development, for things that we’ve known how to make for decades.

You don’t need to move fast and break things when you’re making a car. We’ve been making cars on assembly lines for a hundred years, innovation is going to be small.

Same thing for rockets. We put men on the moon 50 years ago for fucks sake. Rocketry is a well understood engineering field at this point. We know exactly how much force needs to exerted, we know exactly the stresses involved. You don’t need to rapidly iterate anything. Sit down, do the math, build the thing to spec, and it fucking works: see ULA, ESA, and NASA who have, all in the past few years, built rockets and had them successfully complete missions on the first launch without blowing up a bunch to “gather data”

Move fast and break things is for companies that have crackhead leadership who can’t make up their mind about what a product should do. It should have no place in real world engineering, where you know what your product is going to be subject to.

Having a Mexican wife, and having learned Spanish, it makes me irrationally angry when I watch British cooking shows and watch them butcher the pronunciation of basic ingredients. Especially when those same ingredients sound fine when spoken in American English.

I also didn’t know wtf Gordon Ramsey was taking about when he kept saying Picko-Da-Gello, until they showed it on screen.

Y’all spend hundreds of years conquering the planet in search of spices, and failed to learn not only how to use them, but what they’re even called.

That’s the Bethesda special though.

Every Bethesda game I’ve ever played, except Star field, has had at least one hard crash so bad it hijacked my system and refused to close.

Thanks Todd.

Congratulations, you’ve just earned a stoning by the town mob.

Unless you can make an electric motor that goes with your electric generator, you’ll just be killed as a witch for making a device that hurts people with invisible energy.

Also, good luck not just getting brutally murdered for being a weird person that doesn’t speak the language and is dressed funny. For like half of human history, even describing a magnet would be nearly impossible, let alone finding enough magnets of similar size and strength, and having enough money to purchase those rare items and thinly drawn copper.

If a guy came up to you today, dressed funny and talking in broken Spanglish or something asked you for a small loan so he could buy some deuterium and promethium to make a fusion-tap-quark drive so he can advance humanity, you’d probably run away. A thousand years ago you’d probably just have been stabbed on general principles.

I’m friends with plenty of alcoholics and none of them listen to folk or country music.

They’re the “metal and whiskey makes the misery more fun” kind of people.

Or ask your parent/legal guardian if you’re finally old enough to use the stove like a big kid.

Gonna take like 30 minutes to melt the cheese on a decent grilled cheese with the method you describe. Just use a stove or hotplate like a normal human being.

I can’t imagine companies are willing to pay enough to offset the ridiculous electricity and maintenance cost on that many lights.

The issue with kascynski is that people have disconnected from the reality of the man and instead projected some kind of cultural symbolism onto his image, largely because he’s become known as the crazy guy who hates technology.

He’s become a symbol for that feeling you get when you hear of some deranged and dystopian new technology that’s being researched. I remember a couple years ago reading about an idea to use psychedelics to augment prisoners’ sense of time so that they can serve thousands of years of multiple life sentences in a couple of months. Or that feeling of dread you get when news breaks that a meat packing plant has been employing hundreds of literal children to clean for them. There are definitely some things in our society where a normal person looks at it and thinks that things are going a bit off the rails.

Weirdly, or perhaps not, Kascynski has become more known for the title of his deranged paper than the actual content or the real impact his bombing spree had. He’s been turned into a cultural symbol for “they were so focused on if they could, that they never stopped to think if they should”. As we advance technologically each year, and as corporations continue to get away with abusing the general public and the planet as a whole for the sake of profits, I think it’s only natural that some people look at it and think “maybe this isn’t going in the right direction”

It’s a stretch to think that any of these people actually condone or encourage being a deranged incel that mails bombs to random professors or computer stores. They’re just expressing the gnawing dread that many feel about the hostile takeover of our society by huge corporations that are designed to do nothing but extract huge amounts of money from us in exchange for ever less reliable technologies and a planet that will become more and more uninhabitable as time wears on.

Well, the companies work them like dogs and then the drivers kept hearing from the elongated muskrat that he was going to make them obsolete “next year™” so of course they found other work.

Wonder how those self driving death machines, I mean trucks, are coming along?
