Makes you wonder how long until the US rail industry realizes it has the opposite problem

Unclear why the industry didn’t take hydrogen seriously 7-8 years ago but it’s good some of them are now

just hanging out in NASA Aero like

I would be VERY interested to know the implications of this!

What a time to be alive

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail

all i can think right now is "yeah okay, sure"

Still trying to figure which one of the guys at my office drives the geo metro in

B&W aerial photo of KNUQ airfield, with Shenandoah plaza, hangar 1, the airstrip, and hangars 2 and 3 in the background.

On this day in 1942 Moffett Field was recommissioned as a Navy airfield (from temporarily being an Army training base) under Commander Mackey.

Unfortunately

Knowing nothing about NGAD, I’m glad Boeing learned from its mistake with the X-32 (fighter jets need to look cool)

Buying these guys laptop stickers that say “this machine creates technical debt”

VTA's inability to prevent or quickly end the strike is embarrassing and reflects really poorly on how much they value the public being able to rely on their system.

As the region is facing a tepid ridership recovery, it makes no sense to set roadblocks in front of transit use

It also kind of relies on the idea that scientists are inherently mobile and cosmopolitan enough to pick up and leave their families on the drop of a hat

Our only comfort at this point is nihilism

In her intro email she said been signing off by it since becoming KSC in 2021 director as a “reminder to lean into things that are new and stretching, because when we shy away from things that challenge us, we rob ourselves of the opportunity to grow”

Have you embraced the challenge yet

A key part of the review process is taking your thoughts and deciding which of them are important critiques as opposed to thoughts you had that may have been addressed later. I don't know why you would try to automate this process given it is a *decision you are making*

No. Never.

I review 20+ of papers a year—it's my job as a scientist. The public pays my salary and trust me to use my time wisely to advance science. Through peer review, I do exactly that. I spend two or three weeks a year reviewing, but I’ve never wasted a day reviewing a paper, and never will.

Reading through the lines, it sounds like a lot of the team might set up a contract shop where they can charge the government (and private enterprise) much more money for the same stuff they were delivering in-house.

Good on them, but we should really pour one out for the notion of State Capacity

The USS Macon airship, with clouds and blue sky in the background.

On this day, Feb. 12, in 1935 as the Macon was returning from her successful mission, she encountered storm winds off Point Sur, south of Monterey.

The main contribution of LLMs at the moment seems to be increasing burdens on roles where critical thought is important (grading, paper and grant review, etc) by removing gates that previously required actual thinking to pass through

Very cool that this technology is being sold to students as a way to "get ahead" in school

Oh but don’t you see? Where we’re going we don’t need PHAs

"Rapid Software Safety upgrades" would be the easiest way to invalidate a HAZOP or PHA in a process safety context

Given current events I might just update my bayesian prior of how safe commercial air travel is going forward

I know some of those words
