@widestrokes@SStricklandMMA The only thing I can say is ive owned many pistols and im a firm believer in putting 500rds through em before judging said gun. That being said if u get 1 issue on round 501 then that guns junk. Im a believer in a break in period.
Please pray for Poland.
Recent reports show that due to its lack of diversity, the streets are so clean and safe that women and children can still walk alone at night.
Devastating news. How will they survive?
If I hear "He's not a good engineer" one more time. This guy is swimming with the sharks in the stock market to organize resources of millions of investors to coordinate engineers so that he could bring about and sign off on a design of a literal alien civilization megastructure.
do you really think $SPCX employees are sitting at home waiting to sell their shares like some degenerate wallstreet trader… no, they’re at work, building the future that they are invested in
SpaceX just dropped the Terafab vision video and it’s nuts.
It’s a megastructure for real.
Largest chip fab on Earth, and it looks like a Cyberpunk city.
This is the future I want. (Minus the dystopia).
ELON MUSK: All the fabs on Earth combined are only 2% of what Terafab needs.
“If you add up all the fabs on Earth combined, they’re only about 2% of what we need for the Terafab project. We’re very grateful to Samsung, TSMC and others. We would like them to expand as quickly as they can, and we will buy all of their chips. There’s a maximum rate at which they’re comfortable expanding, but that rate is much less than we would like. So we’re going to build Terafab. The key missing ingredient is a terawatt of compute. That’s why we are building Terafab.”
Buy yourself some $SPCX so you can watch rocket launches with your children and make your family part of the sci fi future!
Note: This is investment advice.
A SpaceX engineer once described what happens when Elon Musk finds an error in your work.
The engineer had submitted a thermal analysis for a component on the Raptor engine. The document was 80 pages. It passed review from three senior engineers. It was approved and scheduled for implementation.
Two days later an email arrived from Elon at 11pm. One line. "Your heat flux calculation on page 34 assumes steady state conditions but the duty cycle is transient. Redo it."
The engineer said he stared at the email for five minutes. Not because it was harsh. Because it was correct. The assumption was buried in a sub calculation that none of the three reviewing engineers had caught. Elon found it in a document he had no obligation to read, on a page nobody expected him to reach, at 11pm on a Tuesday.
He said the culture at SpaceX exists because of moments like this. Not because Elon motivates people with speeches. He doesn't give many speeches. The culture exists because every engineer knows that any document they submit might be read line by line by a man who will find the one error they missed. Not to punish them. To prevent the error from reaching the hardware. Because errors in hardware explode.
The fear isn't being fired. The fear is submitting work that isn't your absolute best and having the CEO of a six company empire find the mistake you should have caught. That fear produces better engineering than any motivational poster ever could.
