@TheMilObserverr How does it accurately guide to a target at 10,000 km when Navic area of coverage is roughly 1,500 km?

The Strait of Hormuz (narrowest point ~21–24 nautical miles wide) lies entirely within the territorial seas (up to 12 nm) of Iran (north) and Oman (south, including the Musandam Peninsula exclave). There are no “international waters” (high seas) in the narrowest section of SoH.

@pati_marins64 The seize fire starts when IDF’s replenishment plunges.

@pati_marins64 Radar detection range decreases, noise increases, target tracking accuracy decreases, optical sensors could do very little surveillance from the sky in bad weather. Weather is not in favor until 27th. This five days break is a foul weather window. Then market closes & attacks

@pati_marins64 The moderate to heavy rain was forecast. Heavier rain is expected on 25th and 27th. It’s not limited to Ras Al Khaimah. It’s going to be a mesoscale event (More rain in KSA, UAE, Oman, Iran; comparatively lower rainfall expected in Qatar and Bahrain).

@SureshKBN They hide their military assets below the surface, but their military heads are above the surface to pump and lead their troops from the front. That’s their difference compared to other military leaders in their neighborhood.

Elon Musk explains his 5-step algorithm for running companies

“First, make your requirements less dumb. Your requirements are definitely dumb… It’s particularly dangerous if a smart person gave you the requirements because you might not question them enough.”

In this interview at Starbase, Elon elaborates on his methodology for shipping everything from electric cars to rockets.

Here’s his “algorithm” quoted in full from the Walter Isaacson biography:

1. Question every requirement. Each should come with the name of the person who made it. You should never accept that a requirement came from a department, such as from "the legal department" or "the safety department." You need to know the name of the real person who made that requirement. Then you should question it, no matter how smart that person is. Requirements from smart people are the most dangerous, because people are less likely to question them. Always do so, even if the requirement came from me. Then make the requirements less dumb.

2. Delete any part or process you can. You may have to add them back later. In fact, if you do not end up adding back at least 10% of them, then you didn't delete enough.

3. Simplify and optimize. This should come after step two. A common mistake is to simplify and optimize a part or a process that should not exist.

4. Accelerate cycle time. Every process can be speeded up. But only do this after you have followed the first three steps. In the Tesla factory, I mistakenly spent a lot of time accelerating processes that I later realized should have been deleted.

5. Automate. That comes last. The big mistake in Nevada and at Fremont was that I began by trying to automate every step. We should have waited until all the requirements had been questioned, parts and processes deleted, and the bugs were shaken out.

Elon shares a costly example of doing this process in reverse on the Tesla Model 3 production line and optimizing a part that didn’t even need to exist.

“It’s possibly the most common error of a smart engineer to optimize a thing that should not exist. Everyone’s been trained in high school and college that you answer the question — convergent logic. You can’t tell the professor your question is dumb or you’ll get a bad grade. You have to answer the question. So everyone, without knowing, basically has this mental straight jacket on and they’ll work on optimizing the thing that should simply not exist.”

I genuinely believe the impact of an additional high-speed LEO player like @AmazonLeo will be tremendous for maritime—boosting resilience, capacity, and performance at sea. This is the kind of connectivity shift that can improve both vessel operations and quality of life onboard.

[Elcome International @Elcome_Intl]

The future of maritime connectivity just got another boost. ELCOME has signed an authorized reseller agreement with Amazon Leo, bringing one of the world’s most advanced satellite constellations to our global customer base. More speed, more resilience, more possibilities at sea. Coming in 2027!

@elonmusk The knowledge of closest approach of Mars and Moon with Earth did not change in the last 10 years. Curious to know why the strategy shifted now? The synodic period was never considered 10 years ago when the Mars City project strategized?

#HurricaneFiona is a very rare storm for Nova Scotia (the strongest storm in the last 50 yrs). Interesting to study what storm surge can do to the world’s highest tides in Bay of Fundy as well as to the Strait of Canso. Expecting up to 45 feet waves as storm approaching NS.

Congratulations to everyone at @cslcochin on successfully completing sea trials and delivering INS Vikrant to the @indiannavy! My teams have been working on this project for over a decade and are very proud of the contributions we’ve made to this strategic national asset. 🇮🇳

#NashikRain is extreme and severe. Comparable volume of nonstop rain that we received in 2018 and resulted in flood — the worst in the history of Kerala. Nashik can expect 400 to 450 mm rain today, 450 to 500 mm rain tomorrow. Pack your stuff and escape!

Since 1842, there was only one cyclone that entered #UAE until now. That unnamed cyclone started on 19th October in 1948 and entered/ended in Liwa desert of Trucial States on the 26th. #Cyclone #shaheencyclone

[കുരുക്കൻ Dani Gorgon @danigorgon]

#CycloneShaheen is roughly 230 nm away from east coast and landfall expected near Sohar on Sunday evening. Watch out for alerts and safety instructions from government. Waves up to 18 ft near Fujairah, wind up to 65 km/hr during landfall in its impact zone in UAE.
