Hello.

[J @Jay_on_X]

I use a lot of Google products for work and personal use. With that said, right now, if Claude is available instead of Gemini, I’m using it.

Astra has a chance of changing that but we will see. What do you think?

[Claude @claudeai]

Claude now works inside Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, and those files also open inside Claude.

In Google Workspace, Claude sits in a sidebar next to your file, reads what you have open, and edits it in place. You can approve each edit before it lands.

@andruyeung Member of a winning team. It shows you don’t need attention and will assimilate well into a company that is already winning.

7 Minutes to Greatness:

On October 13, 2024, the Super Heavy booster, 233 feet tall and 400,000 pounds, flew back to Earth about 7 minutes after launch. A 400-foot-tall launch tower with two robotic arms nicknamed the “chopsticks” waited for it. With 13 of its 33 Raptor engines roaring, it came to rest perfectly in the tower’s arms.

From nearly bankrupt to pushing space exploration forward: if we take anything from this, it’s that failure is part of the plan.

A tough beginning:

March 24, 2006: in less than a minute into liftoff a faulty fuel line caused Falcon 1 Flight 1 to catch fire and crash into the Pacific Ocean.

March 20, 2007: So close, but yet so far. Falcon 1 Flight 2 has a perfect first stage surpassing its previous flight, but at approximately T+5 minutes into the flight that all changed. Onboard cameras depicted the rocket rotating and rocking uncontrollably, causing the fuel inside to slosh around as well. This eventually starved the engine causing it to shut down prematurely. Falcon 1 Flight 2 couldn’t reach orbit and returned home breaking up in earths atmosphere.

August 2, 2008: Falcon 1 Flight 3 again makes it to stage 1 separation. During the separation residual fuel inside the cooling channels vaporized causing continued unplanned thrust. Once separate, Stage one lunged forward damaging the second stage sending it into a spiral. Again not reaching orbit it broke apart re-entering earths atmosphere.

Three tries, three losses, and money for about one more.

SpaceX continues to push the limits:

December 21, 2015: Falcon 9 Flight 20 pulls off the inconceivable. As if the flight alone wasn’t impressive enough, space enthusiast all over the world watched as the 25-30 metric ton first stage booster returned to earth. The empty Falcon 9 booster flew back and landed upright at Cape Canaveral. If that’s not impressive enough hear this. Due to the engines being so powerful, the ship was incapable of hovering. It had to touch ground the exact moment the ship reached 0 velocity.

Rockets used to be thrown away after one flight. Landing them is what made launches cheap and frequent.

[J @Jay_on_X]

SpaceX nearly ran out of money after three failed launches. Today its Falcon 9 flies every few days.

The wins and failures that got it there. A thread🧵

@XMoney @elonmusk let’s try it

I walk through that night after a couple drinks at the bar next door. She groans as she finishes cleaning the counter, about to close shop.

Me: Cheeseburger.

Barista: What?

Me: Cheeseburger.

Barista: This is a coffee shop, sir!

Me: Cheeseburger.

Barista plays confused. But she’s actually the meeting point of an international spy ring. She knew what I was saying. I only had to say the password one more time.

Me: Cheeseburger.

The barista dings the bell at the front desk. The coffee beans spill from the machines and arrange themselves into letters on the ground. Before me, spelled out in arabica, is my next mission.

Me: Gonna be a long night, I’ll take a coffee black.

Barista: I know agent 34, you are our best agent who likes his coffee black.

I grab my coffee and leave.

@LarryJones I think it just is what it is. 1 person exposed and died, and we move on.

@AIMind_Ai Wow it’s hard to tell it looks so realistic. Reminds me of my old cow Betsy, used to zip around on her utters like one of them SpaceX rockets.

[J @Jay_on_X]

@SawyerMerritt @Starlink Tempted to do this. I see no equipment charge for my area as well. Just don’t know anyone with it and it’s a big risk if it has outages when the wife works from home.

@damnidc__ The fact that this has 2.4 MILLION views is baffling.

@LeadingReport You guys just don’t like any solutions. You complained about AI and water usage now we can shut it down cause we have Trump who runs on about 12 Diet Cokes a day.

[J @Jay_on_X]

@aspenshredder I bought a bunch of pictures I could make with AI for free

@TheGBreaker If you have a family I would say so.
