Like deliver 100 tonnes to the moons surface in a single ship?

What do you think they're failing at so badly compared to 60 years ago.

Nasa announces Artemis III mission no longer aims to send humans to moon

NotMyOldRedditName @lemmy.world 8h ago

None of that was like what SpaceX is doing.

There were failures in the race and they were testing things, but failures weren't the expected outcomes and part of the planned development cycle. Like they still don't even know how to make a reusable heat shield which is fundamental to this working.

SpaceX has built a manufacturing line to churn these things out and is like we think this might work, let's try it in flight hardware. Oh okay that didnt work, let's try something else. Oh okay that did work now, but if we do this does it still work because if it does we can eek out 2% more performance. Oh shit now we have a brand new mark 2 engine. Does it sill work? Let's make it longer now with more fuel and new tanks!

Starships blowing up is part of how they are iterating. No one else has done it this way, or so publicly.

The government cant handle things like this because people like you look at it as a failure and shit gets shut down. If they IPO its also going to cause issues for the same reason.

Meanwhile SpaceX has designed, built, flew and landed two orbital boosters before anyone landed one. They fucking caught it in chopsticks.

What are tou talking about?

Falcon 9 is fine.

Starship & Booster are continuously improving. When you see that a starship blew up, what's probably conveniently left off from the headlines you read is its a major revision. New engines, longer, different flaps etc. The last one went up and down wonderfully. The next one launching is v3 and has the latest engines and hundreds of changes and will probably go boom and maybe even the one after that.

They're literally removing heat tiles from critical areas to see what happens.

In no way is SpaceX messing up here though.

Nobody has ever developed a rocket in the open like this before where stuff breaking is expected and normal.

Edit: Attaching image of their engines for example. That v3 is not a render. This is a brand new engine type (full-flow staged combustion fuel cycle), never flown before SpaceX built one and flew it. Russia built one in theory, but never flew it.

Which is why SpaceX is about to suck once they IPO :(

The original stated plan was no IPO until Mars transits were normal.

Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses

NotMyOldRedditName @lemmy.world 19h ago

I'm sorry she's having to deal with this BS. I have a feeling the next step is to arrest her in a pullover for having an invalid license when the cop doesn't believe the M instead of the F and says it's fake. Or when she tries to go to a bar and gets told its fake.

Im pretty sure every domino in that image is in the process of falling down, not just trans...

Stadia worked on chrome browsers. I think you needed their controller though, but I got mine for free with a Chromecast purchase. For TVs you needed a Chromecast or a Android TV

Apple brings age verification to UK users in iOS 26.4 beta - Users who don’t verify their age may not be able to download or purchase apps.

NotMyOldRedditName @lemmy.world 21h ago

This still allows the government to see which service provider you are using.

That was a poor choice then. They can do this with ZKP and not even know that.

Like it should be doable where sure the website might ask the government if its valid, but the government doesnt know who owns the token, so all they know is someone accessed the site, not who. So they could know general traffic to sites, but that would be it.

There would be ways to hide even the site as well where the website gives you a non identifying token to use with yours and be verified by the government as well, then they only know some site is requesting verification and sign it back to you as valid and you return it to the site. In this one the government only knows your using it, but not where.

Edit: clarity, but also if they put this much effort into the system using ZKP, this oversight almost sounds intentional so they can track people / population usage even if less.

Edit: 10 years from now - our age restriction service shows traffic to porn hub increased 10x over the past decade while poverty has increased! PornHub is clearly the cause of our poverty situation we should ban it! The traffic is too high! A bit over the top, but the info is still useful to them.

Key Russian Surveillance Ship Appears Crippled After Strike in Crimea

Wow, almost 2 years to verify it was or wasn't hit. Hope the person who made the hit is still alive to cheer it.

From 5 km to 20 km a day: Ukraine triples anti-drone tunnel construction speed in two months

It says this is near the front, I hope they have a quick way to tear it down if shit goes sideways so the Russians cant use it.

Firefox 148 introduces the promised AI kill switch for people who aren't into LLMs

And immediately blocked.

I'm not against AI, I use it, but I want to be using it on my terms, not have it shoved into everything I use.

You can make them biometric and still be private, but that's even more effort which they wont spend.

The US military will reportedly use Elon Musk's Grok AI in its classified systems

They're gonna be so stupid about this its 100% going to somehow end up in training data.

the technology itself and mistrust of government are, at least partly, different things

I don't personally think so when it comes to technologies like this that can be used to surveil and/or control a population (edit: and especially that are being heavily driven by governments)

It's pretty much a given that it will be used against us as history has shown us its always the case.

Trying to separate them out, gives them the extra support they need to pass it through and then abuse it.
