Reddit cannot be a real place

The only thing greater than my nostalgia for our hallowed past is my unquenchable thirst for our mythical future

This camera angle from @interstellargw allows sequential frames to be stacked, revealing the fairly obvious tower avoidance maneuver during Starship Flight 12. Plume direction shows the controlled translation away from the tower and initiation of the gravity turn at the top of the frame.

Gabe Newell, president of gaming giant Valve, is using his immense fortune to fund deep-sea research and push humanity forward. He's constructing a massive, $800,000,000 research vessel that can hold 130 researchers and explore up to 36,000ft under the ocean.

Rally through the elements, upgrading my threejs playground with mud roads.

Spent some time designing this drone. I added an internal isolator section that manages the shock train and slows incoming air to subsonic before it reaches the compressor face in case things get sporty. This design is tailored to fit JetCat P550-PRO engines.

For two years I've been building a Computational Engineering Model, an AI that designs real, manufacturable hardware entirely in code! I've done it all self-funded, nights and weekends, while working full-time on flight hardware. But every design loop runs on AI compute, and I've hit the ceiling of what one person can pay for. The big companies chasing this have billions. I have a workshop, 15 years of flight hardware experience, and a working system. What I don't have is the funding to keep it evolving. :/ That's where you come in. If you believe the tools that build the future shouldn't belong only to billion-dollar companies, help me. Every dollar goes to compute. Every result gets published publicly. Let's prove one person and a community can start a revolution and with it build our future. Im very open to collaborations and projects as well! gofund.me/779b72ae0

Randomly finding Falcon 9 image in an aviation fastener catalogue and wondering if these are actually used on the rocket.

X-Humanoid unveiled TG-VLA, which it calls the world's first whole-body VLA framework for full-size humanoid robots. The goal: move humanoids past "mobile dual-arm systems" to human-like, whole-body coordinated operation. Built on three technologies: - HEX: an open-source full-size humanoid VLA that learns across embodiments and coordinates the whole body. Claimed SOTA on real-world whole-body manipulation - HAF-VLA: hierarchical action flow that decomposes whole-body motion into subtasks. Best or joint-best on 6 benchmarks - DSRL-DCT: online RL for high-DoF humanoids in a compressed latent space. 100% success on mobile manipulation HEX is open-source.

Me on GTA waiting for my 5 stars to go away:

Back when two GTA Online friends actually met each other in real life

Where do you deploy your robots? Mine's better.
