it's hacky and wrong. or you could use different hardware, maybe from competition, because result isn't worth electricity it used

If anyone can figure out how to get exmilitary F15 for joyrides it's them. I guess Thiel would be fine without pretending as passenger, but Musk not, and learning this takes fuckton of effort, something he's allergic to. Either one of them having supersonic chauffeur that has to go everywhere their jet does is exact kind of nonsense i'd expect in this timeline, and i don't think that either is actually healthy enough to become a pilot in the first place

gpus as used for genai aren't really suitable for normal loads like aerodynamic simulations, genai uses low precision data like fp8, fp4, blackwells and such are optimized for it so hard that you can't really do anything else on this thing

"article" is entirely too charitable, this is a substack post

without checking, many of these titles sound like MDPI

It never had market. Wait 3h at airport just to get on a 3x, 5x more expensive flight so that instead of 5h you fly 3h - make it make sense. For people that don't wait at airports anyway rental of demilitarised MIG-29s would make more sense

https://boomsupersonic.com/flyby/ai-needs-more-power-than-the-grid-can-deliver-supersonic-tech-can-fix-that

okay, that's the missing piece (? not the last): 1GW from GE, 1GW from proenergy, 1.2GW from this fuckass startup that nobody heard of, either missing 1.2GW of gas turbines or 1.2GW grid connection gets almost 4.5GW of power for crusoe

also you don't need supersonic jet engines for that, these will be actively worse in reality for stationary power generation. they do that because you can haul them in a truck

Meanwhile China is adding power capacity at a wartime pace—coal, gas, nuclear, everything—while America struggles to get a single transmission line permitted.

thank Jack Welch for deindustrialization then

we built something no one else has built this century: a brand-new large engine core optimized for continuous, high‑temperature operation.

Lockheed Martin: am i a joke to you? (also, lots of manufacturers for proper CCGT turbines do just that)

they maybe used it to get entry into hezbollah supply chain, and then for monitoring aftermath

and yeah this is a blatant lie:

In a recent interview, the former head of the Israeli Mossad, Yossi Cohen, revealed that Israel has similar “booby-trapped and spy-manipulated equipment” in “all the countries you can imagine”.

an attack that was a combination of supply chain infiltration, psyops (convincing hezbollah to ditch phones), surveillance (lending credence to the former), mass tampering, that got planned for a decade, took well over a half year to execute, and now will be useless because people know about it, and will try to mitigate (by looking inside), used as an one-shot chance against strategic adversary, but yeah there are thousands of phones with bombs in moldova, dude trust me

this is propaganda fluff for israeli nationalists

nah. loam is, for example, 40% sand, 20% clay, 40% silt and it's close to middle of that polygon, on top of letter O

for example, draw a line from 50% sand point on edge to 50% clay point on edge, the first one is 50% sand 50% silt because that axis for sand is also 0% for clay, the second one is 50% sand 50% clay because it lies at the line that is 0% silt

this is their endgame
