:) That's the second lesson we learn. Watch and learn from the Senior Engineers. Read the datasheets, learn the 'prints, do the math. Observe the physics, the how's and why's behind something that is built. The how's and why's of how that item affects the item it goes in to.

 

The first is, of course -- "You don't know s**t." :laugh:

I may appear harsh towards you...but it is for good reason...for your benefit..

 

To cut to the chase..

 

Every generation will experience a drastic increase in cumulative knowledge.

 

With technology comes new discoveries and new mysteries...this increases with technology

 

It has been impossible, for quite some time, for one individual to keep up on every advance...hence specialization and teamwork

 

In the end, a great team with sufficient funding can achieve what amounts to "magic"...but...

 

Two things can't be purchased...integrity and honor...they must be earned...and beware though...

 

Words are a weapon that can reveal the true nature of an individual...the consequence....integrity and honor do not rebuild well.

 

-----------------------------------

 

The quiet and dedicated one can unleash a storm. One can converse but choose your words wisely...it will do you well.

 

-----------------------------------

 

SpaceX and a few other firms have assembled an amazing engineering team (top percentile), they have a focus, have resources and operate off first principles and have proven themselves many times over...yet...

 

There are still individuals online who think they know better and/or are completely oblivious and carry on the "hate train"...these are the ones to feel sorry for, not hate.

 

-------------------------------

 

Learn and choose your words wisely...your future depends on it.

 

A rambling old fart...with some experience...😎

Naah, you're fine. And I appreciate it. AND you're allowed. :yes:(Y) 

 

Truth be told, I do tend to speak out-of-turn ... and yes, it deserves checking if it's called for. Same goes for everyone else.

 

You're a good guy, DD. Wouldn't be "you" if you didn't feel the need to correct the Junior Engineers when needed, eh? :laugh:

 

Seriously, bud, carry on. It's all good, and you're totally fine. I've got much thicker skin than to not take it objectively. Thick head too, sometimes. Heh. I'll be alright, I think.

Leeward side needs nothing, windward side will be activity cooled with residual (cryo) liquid methane, so will appear liquid silver even on hot side

Usable strength/weight of full hard stainless at cryo is slightly better than carbon fiber, room temp is worse, high temp is vastly better

All questions related to outer surface...no paint...no ablative coating....cryo cooled...this is using the properties of the "stainless" grade selected and using onboard resources for extracuricular activities....nice...

In light of this weekend's events, I'm reposting this from December 8th

 

 

 

Approx time has not changed...but, we may be in for a "treat" tweet soon for "goodies" being sought for the "booster"...booster seems too small a word for this...Super Heavy will do...

meanwhile...off in a remote desert local...Elon and plan C

Looks like @ElonMusk is building a "stainless steel starship" in the desert ....

An actively cryo-cooled heat shield be that'll look like "liquid silver."

Can't to a damned thing "normal," can they? 😄

The sling/brace has been used to move the "legged" section off the concrete support. It is now located at the other side of the shed front, on the work pad.

 

I have not included images as they are not in the public yet, just on NSF by bocachicagal.

 

They will be out on Monday by her or other users...just in case of copyright...

 

Things are moving fast....and the speculation as well. Best to wait this one out as it's moving fast.

    • One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
    • I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
    • I really hope the author's health is ok. Squirreling away a official backup of this software. Looks like the internet archive already cached a copy as well - https://web.archive.org/web/20...ldbit-soft.fi/software.html
    • AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.
    • Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
