Where I live no single entity (besides goverment) cant own more than 500 hectares of land. It's more than enough for large industrial instalation or large farm. For more - must lend or create subsudiaries. And here... mindbogling.

100%. Somehow had this discussion with front desk staff at work, since it was slower day. I'm pro-free markets. But only when they work. And without these things they dont.

That's why I really enjoyed Artemis II. At least saw humans flying around the Moon. Not that it's crucial for humanity in any way. But that was inspiring for many. From there its downhill.

In sane world this silo thingy already would be abandoned as failure. I guess there's no western rocket (including ICBMs) since late 1950 or early 1960s that had to be tested more than 3-5 times before becoming operational. Either this or cancelation.

Had a conversation with younger employee, who is going to finish her master's degree next year, about similar topic to this. I said that her barchelor's degree is probably will be the last one worth anything, because no one will trust post 2024-2025 degrees (my estimate when AI slop got good enough)

LOL, few years ago Eric told outright after one of failed attempts to launch SS that if they wanted, they were able to fly to the Moon with just first stage. Yeah, that dumb. And now...

My first attempt receiving MetOp-B weather satellite. Baltic states from space. Unlike popular NOAA series (15, 18, 19) satellites from the past, which could be received (almost) with a piece of wire - this requires satellite dish and tracking.

Wish that too. Unfortunately they are in charge of United States. Like... completely. Not much diferently from dystopian books and movies.

Classic "futuristic tech that failed" look. Except it didn't. Saw first MD player before I've got my own PC. Brother had one, he even brought desktop MD recorder from work to legally *wink wink* copy some music.

Quite a few diatoms here - algae with silica shells. Those tiny creatures are responsible of large fraction of oxygen in our atmosphere. Took this image with Swift SW380T microscope & Fuji XT30 II camera

Nice printing calculator with vacuum flourescent display from late 1980s - early 1990s. Printing part, due to disintegrated rubber on paper feed roller, is no longer working. Although, ink is still not dried up.

They always do that. Which looks cult-y to me. Since during an entire history of rockets for space use - failure was time for shock, realisation and reflection. Because huge effort, time and money bursted into flames.

An entire Apollo program, with all launches and all its timeline - nicely sits inside of this suborbital "Starship testing" fiasco. And back then they're reckless.

I like rockets as most guys, but a billionaire (few of them) with rocket company is utterly unimporant for humanity.

Add no bail-outs or subsidies for private sector, unless it's doing actual public service. Because here we find Elon as well.

On the other hand dude is having his own Oddysey - figuring out how to be admired when sh*tload of money, rocket tricks and cars with lane-assist arent helping. Now reactionary shitposting phase (2020 - present)

This comes from my personal observation: non technical people using AI for dumbest of sh*t - sloppy (and wrong) illustrations, summarizing (often wrongly) legal documents etc. Technical people - building actually working websites, writing codes for controllers, making tools for data viz etc.

Tony M. @macijauskas.bsky.social · 12/05/2026
I'd argue that making tools with AI, i.e. vibecoding to some degree - is the only productive use of AI. Given that person, who is doing it - is as well an expert in the field that he/she is using it for.

Tony M. @macijauskas.bsky.social · 08/05/2026
And all those cries about dangers of AI from several years ago. Now failed at homegrown one (a bit "inspired" by another one), fighting with CEO that another one, about who was actual dad or so, and from now - lending resources to a third one.

Watched 10+ years ago, so my taste likely changed since then, but since I still remember it, probably worth a shot.

Watched US remake. Not the best idea, but saw an episode on TV way back then and decided to pirate the rest. And actually liked it. For one season show, decent actors and superb sountrack it was okay.
