reusing as much of the 1970’s shuttle tech as they can
And reusing the tech, but not the hardware. NASA are throwing four RS-25 shuttle engines (some of which flew multiple shuttle missions) into the ocean with every SLS launch.

Do we? It’s already years behind schedule, billions over budget, and doesn’t really have a use beyond Artemis. Also, the Exploration Upper Stage (one of the major planned upgrades) is being developed by… Boeing.
He’s definitely earned a break though :')
Also reusable, like Falcon 9.
CEO of SpaceX alone to do her thing
COO? CEO is Musk, COO is Gwynne Shotwell.
Sooty exhaust from RP-1 and aluminum oxide particulates from discarded upper stages will not be a problem with Starship.
Starship uses methalox, and the upper stage is designed to be reusable.
SpaceX is years behind schedule for delivering crewed space flight to NASA
You are a few years behind the times yourself. SpaceX first flew crew to the ISS in 2020, and have flown 8 more crewed missions for NASA since then, as well as a few private missions.
Boeing (the other commercial crew contractor) has yet to fly a single human :)
Piracy is pretty much the only way the original Star Wars movies are still available.
“I am altering the movie. Pray I don’t alter it any further.” - George Lucas, probably.
A couple months ago, I didn’t buy a cheap Blu-ray drive and did not download MakeMKV. Since I did not do this, I can’t report on how great it is.
Why are larger propellers quieter? Does it have to do with the rotation rate required to generate thrust?
Yeah, I heard about it on a podcast a few weeks ago, but didn’t see a video until recently.
Paperclip maximizer: Stone wall edition.
Like electric model airplanes and drones, but larger. Battery energy density is not high enough (yet) to electrify long-haul jumbo jets, but we’re beginning to see the electrification of small short-range aircraft.
If you want to watch top quality unbiased science content, there’s “smarter every day”, “veritasium” and “3blue1brown”. They’re all great, I highly recommend them all.
Add to that any and all of Brady Haran’s channels: Numberphile (maths), Periodic Videos (chemistry), Sixty Symbols (physics), Deep Sky Videos (astronomy)…
Rober’s always seemed a little off to me, like one of those who enjoys being famous more than the stuff that made him famous in the first place.
It’s hard to exactly articulate the point where a content creator loses me, but I can feel it in my nerd-bones.
You’ve articulated my thoughts more clearly than I could myself. I’ve felt the same way for some time.
Someone should crosspost this to !wallstreetbets@lemmy.world.
I never watch YouTube while logged in if I can help it, and I’ve never subscribed to a channel either. I’ve just bookmarked the /videos page of the channels I like, and check them regularly.
Since some folks in this thread can’t be bothered to click on the article, here is the first sentence:
Nvidia, whose chips power artificial intelligence, has been sued by three authors who said it used their copyrighted books without permission to train its NeMo AI platform.
In this case, “it” is Nvidia. They are training their own model, not just selling chips.
Are you certain you’re not thinking of the Sci-Fi Short Film “Slaughterbots”? The plot is almost exactly what you describe.
Too soon.
