max @use-as-is.dev · 11/06/2026imo it wasn't really gatekept. everyone was supposed to "learn to code" (because it is easy), and many got lucrative careers out of it! (until now, at least) LLMs can program well b/c syntactic correctness is easy to verify + there's a huge corpus of pretty good code (open source repos) 010

max @use-as-is.dev · 19/04/2026I'm skeptical that we'll see these as anything more than a novelty. quadrotors are scarier and deadliest, and non-humanoid terrestrial robotics are more efficient and less fragile. there is the uncanny valley psychological effect, tho 220

max @use-as-is.dev · 31/01/2026it's funny that the pizzagate hysteria was arguably directionally correct but now that their faves are implicated you don't hear so much about that 010
max @use-as-is.dev · 29/01/2026one implication of autonomous vehicles becoming superior to human drivers is that it may force reëxamination of common practices in traffic engineering. imo speed limits in areas where pedestrians may be present should be much lower than they presently are. 000

max @use-as-is.dev · 21/01/2026right, I'm skeptical the business case pencils out in the next 10-20 years. However, I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth and I welcome the additional investment in space tech and jobs for my peers. 181
max @use-as-is.dev · 21/01/2026it would be interesting to see if some of them end up getting boosted into some kind of graveyard orbit for later use, or spare parts for on-orbit assembly. I'm guessing they'll be cheap enough to be disposable, but some folks may be interested in buying "retired" satellites. 020
max @use-as-is.dev · 21/01/2026speculating here, I doubt they'll go for rad-hard compute outside of possibly flight computers (which don't need to be terribly performant anyway). For the data center side, you'll probably see lots of redundancy with some rad tolerance. 020
max @use-as-is.dev · 21/01/2026yeah, my general impression is that the _scale_ of the problem is what's new. the closest thing we have in terms of solar array and radiator size is probably the ISS. Add to that the expected attrition rate, and you have to build something very capable at low cost. 140
