Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 26/09/2026all friends agree. she had a terrible idea and didn’t act on it. everyone else did something horrific. 090
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Meeting with Kushner of all people legitimatizes corruption. Why not meet with an actual official? Further the nation has made it clear that the problem is the Trump admin and their policies. Stopping harmful policies is helping the American people. Collaborating is trying to make MAGA palatable. 000
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Aside, I’m reading Mason Dixon and someone answered a question with “Mu” and I felt like hell yea GEB. Back to the topic, one fun idea I had after reading was a super (human) intelligence could explain human intelligence but not in a way human intelligence could comprehend lol. 010
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I love GEB because it’s just interesting musing about the topic. I know a lot of people read it as a guide but I think even the author says not to read it as a guide. GEB just exposes a beautiful perspective you otherwise wouldn’t have encountered (like many good books). 120
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Exactly it’s so funny to hear people debate what happens at AGI when we don’t even know what human intelligence means. 120
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Like I had to google Melina. I was wondering if I killed her. I guess that was Malenia. 030
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I skipped every cutscene. My lesson from the earlier souls games was the story doesn’t make sense just focus on the gameplay feeling good. I have no idea what happened in Elden Ring. 140
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 25/07/2026It doesn’t go over the house it connects at the roof. All two story houses look like this man. I’m glad you watch TV I have family near Naples and this is just what stuff looks like everywhere. I’m done arguing with someone online about what FL looks like lol. 😂 110
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 25/07/2026I don’t know what you’re talking about. It doesn’t literally cover the entire house just the back so you can go outside without bugs eating you alive. Two story covers up to the second story. The photo just looks weird. This is how every house looks man 110
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 25/07/2026I mean I have family in Florida. Every house has one of these. The two story houses have enclosures that include the second story. This is what it looks like. 100
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 25/07/2026It is a pool enclosure. Have you been to Florida? Two story houses have the pool enclosure go to the second story. I presume it’s so you can sit on the top porch and open those windows without worrying about bugs. Would also look weird to step out and see the top of a wire mesh. 110
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 25/07/2026I’m skeptical of the image. Many homes in Florida look exactly like this. 1133
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I told someone this and they said they made a breadboard that performed amazingly well. The production hardware never got close. They covered the breadboard in epoxy and shipped it. 020
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I love the mythical breadboard. I had one fail no idea why. Replaced every part one by one. Randomly started working. No idea what happened. 230
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 05/07/2026I know this is a joke but NOAA/Commerce does remote sensing, FCC does licensing for spectrum. I think Office of Space Commerce is pushing to regulate anything novel that falls in gaps. FAA is mostly launch/recovery. 020
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Istanbul is funny tho. It’s the same as calling NYC “the city” and just one day deciding the city is the official name. 010
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Maybe you misread? I shared a random fact and explicitly said treating people wrong is bigotry and even followed up it up with a comment that if we want to target a group then boomers have the most bombers. 000
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Another random fact is if you look at bombings in the US the majority in modern times were in the 60s/70s by white ppl (iirc) so if we were to judge a group it would be boomers. 000
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Random fact: Before 9/11 the worst aviation terrorist act was done by Sikh extremists. After 9/11 I recall people defending Sikhs saying Sikhs aren’t terrorists which misses the point. Every ethnic group has bad apples (and terrorists). Bigotry is still wrong. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Ind...en.wikipedia.orgAir India Flight 182 - Wikipedia 210
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 21/04/2026I played them all out of order starting so that also creates a bias lol. Sekiro was pretty easy to follow. In Elden Ring I just assumed I was doing stuff with Trees 010
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 21/04/2026I really love the combat mechanics in dark souls games but have no idea what’s supposed to be happening plot wise. 100
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 09/04/2026My understanding is the admin tried to slash NASA last year, Congress reinstated the budget then OMB told NASA to only spend to the presidents target not to appropriations. I’m curious how much input Issacman has or if like other things this just chaos. 010
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 08/04/2026I mean realistically radio probably works fine. If you limit to text and to short messages like sharing coordinates you can probably go wild with spread spectrum 100
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Eh the pilot had a communication device and beacon. You don’t need a heart beat. Plus wouldn’t there be other ways to find them like IR or even if you wanna be fancy hyperspectral? I’m all for these leaks tho. Reminds me of when the CIA leaks an insider helped them (cause lol trolling counterintel) 140
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 04/04/2026hrmm they talked about the problem here but didn't go that far into the solution: www.airandspaceforces.com/usaf-c2-batt...airandspaceforces.comWhat Does the Future Look Like for Battle Managers?The Air Force is starting to modernize its command and control enterprise, but the future for battle managers in the short term is unclear. 000
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 04/04/2026They should work on disaggregating C2. I recall a USAF general griping that they train folks to the platform not the mission. I *thought* the goal was to train people to do C2 and use a variety of platforms (sea, drone, manned plane, space) for the sensors. Then your C2 ppl could be in nevada lol 200
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 01/04/2026A lot of the TCAS I’ve seen are because the parallel approach and airplanes getting close. 000
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 22/03/2026To gain leverage the US might want to create a reality where others can export oil but Iran can’t and do that in a reversible way so it can be bargained. Anyway it’s an insane idea but the goal likely isn’t steaming several ARGs through the straits to take oil. 010
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 22/03/2026While landing forces is nuts, there’s really no reason to steam through the straits and given the lack of probing/minesweeping it’s more likely to be an airborne assault. Further the goal wouldn’t be to take oil, but to block Iranian exports. Right now Iran can export but others can’t. 110
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Can we do this without blowing up a bunch of civilians driving by? Maybe? Is that possible folks?? 011
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 07/03/2026Every conversation I have with my dog they seem upbeat too. 080
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 05/03/2026The section on submarines cites the same exceptions for ships to rescue (if it poses a danger or as far as military interests permit). These are general the UNCLOS/IHL exceptions for rescues. Perhaps subs can more liberally claim these exceptions but they're not exempt by nature. 100
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 05/03/2026My understanding is that's not the case. The commanders handbook affirms submarines must follow all IHL/UNCLOS, law of war requirements for ships: stjececmsdusgva001.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net/public/docum....stjececmsdusgva001.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net 100
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Laws of war seem to have so many nebulous criteria. Like rescuing shipwreck victims is subject to "military interests." Wtf does that mean? I just wish we had a better word than War Crime because it just launches these debates about technicalities that ignore the real moral atrocities. 000
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 05/03/2026This is where I don't like the war crime takes. It shifts the debate from is this an evil malicious act to a technical argument of whether or not this is allowable under LOAC. Sinking a ship and not rescuing anyone in this manner is evil. Is it lawful? Probably. Does that mean its good? Fuck no 200
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Asking for curiosity can you add context? My feed is everyone is like “mad king Jesus fuck die” and maybe we’re seeing the same things just ya have a different lens 010
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 04/03/2026I have a speech impediment. It’s a definite disability in a college sense but not something the USG tracks as a disability. Stanford offered help. If I accepted I would have been a person getting accommodations that wasn’t “actually” disabled. I was too ashamed to accept for help. NYT ya doing great 030
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Further universities should offer help for more than just federally recognized disabilities. Anxiety, depression, ADHD. Hell even speech impediments or dyslexia wouldn’t qualify someone as “disabled” but reasonably require something by a university. Fuck people. Go beat up Trump not struggling kids. 000
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 04/03/2026These articles are shit. I’ve seen homicide investigation vans at Stanford dorms as an undergraduate for suicide. The nations best universities can afford individualized help for students. 100
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 02/03/2026While it’s true there are obnoxious tankies who never criticize Americas/Israels enemies it’s also true that many people feel just more inclined to condemn their own government because they feel responsibility and imagine that they have some input. 110
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 02/03/2026I get there are people that only condemn the US and never condemn others. This thread is replying to someone saying they’ve seen many more Americans post about the USAF potentially bombing kids than Americans posting about Khamenei killing protesters. 110
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Sure but isn’t that just human nature? Like how many posts here about the war in Sudan that’s caused 25M since 2023 to fall to famine. There’s too much happening in the world to weigh everything equally. If the USAF killed kids we can affect that by demanding investigations. Hence it’s called out. 100
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 02/03/2026But that’s the whole worse problems fallacy. People can care more about what the US or Israel does. For example as a Westerner you can care more about Israeli atrocities because your nation supplies the IDF. As an American you can care more about what the USAF bombs because you have input. 200
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 02/03/2026The world isn’t one dimensional and for example Americans don’t react 15000x more to deaths of 15000 protesters than let’s say the death of Alex Pretti. Proximity to events, sense of control, novelty all shape how people react. Iran killing protesters vs our nation/ally killing kids is different. 100
Aminal @aminal.bsky.social · 02/03/2026I’m sure there exist tankies out there but by and large insisting people express outrage at the right atrocity is tiring. The ongoing Sudanese Civil War sees death at a scale much greater than protest deaths. Should we be reacting 5x greater to that event? 100
