Yeeaaa... it's a different approach.
(Don't read this as a defence of Musk, he's a turd, but SpaceX has competent technical people below their chimpanzee-on-a-string PR person)
NASA's traditional approach was to basically achieve perfection of design and manufacturing before trying to launch anything. Look at every possible failure mode of every component, down to the tiniest screw or wire or bit of plastic. Keep redesigning parts until you eliminate all failure modes that you don't have triply-redundant backups for. Test the living snot out of everything on the ground, in the lab. Have massive technical and safety reviews to ensure nothing was missed, anywhere.
It worked about as well as anything could, but it was extremely slow, bureaucratic, and above all incredibly expensive. Tons of rework when issues were found meant having to go back 3 steps to change something, and then redo the massive amount of work that had been done since then to make sure no new failure modes were possible, etc.
SpaceX is doing things differently - #iterative design. You design, build, #integrate, and #test-to-failure as often as possible to learn where the weak spots are -- you then rapidly iterate when you find the problems. "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly" is an expected part of the process - it's how you learn the limits of what you've built, where the problems are.
Neither one is "the right way". They both work.

#machines #obsolescence(RP Gore Khaa)
'' Alors que les transhumanistes nous promettent un avenir où les inadaptés deviendront des « chimpanzés du futur », où l’imminence de la catastrophe nucléaire hante notre quotidien, les objets techniques semblent coloniser nos vies à grande vitesse. Comment penser la technique dès lors que la densité, la complexité et la puissance de ses artefacts va croissante, et que notre intimité est investie d’appareils qui médiatisent notre vie dans son entier ? À cette question, Günther Anders semble fournir de salutaires clefs de compréhension.
...
Anders se demande à partir des années 1940 dans quelle mesure nous vivons l’époque historique qui réalise l’obsolescence de l’homme par la technique, mû par une certitude :
« Le Sujet de la #liberté et celui de la #soumission sont intervertis ; les choses sont libres, c’est l’homme qui ne l’est pas. » -

• The "Kiss Through the Wire": The episode culminates in a study of cross-species connection. We analyze unambiguous displays of assistance—like an orangutan offering a hand to a submerged human—and the profound "Kiss Through the Wire" between a chimpanzee and an elderly woman. These moments prove that empathy is an ancient, hardwired survival reflex that transcends species' borders.

Cross-Species EmpathyPrimates possess a stunning emotional capacity for empathy that extends beyond their own kind.
Intimate Connections: A "kiss through the wire" between a chimpanzee and an elderly woman demonstrates a deep, silent connection between species.
Helping Hands: Wild orangutans have been observed instinctively extending a helping hand to humans in potential distress, shattering illusions of human superiority.

From 2010: #Navajo Commercial Farm Using #GeneticallyModified Seeds, Despite Global Protests
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, June 16, 2010
"While #IndigenousPeoples protest #Monsanto’s genetically modified seeds around the world, the Navajo Nation’s commercial farm, #NavajoAgriculturalProductsIndustries, continues to use these seeds for commercial crops.
"Haitian farmers are now burning donated Monsanto seeds. In India, thousands of farmers committed suicide after switching from traditional seeds to genetically modified seeds. In Chiapas, Mayan farmers have refused to use the seeds which damaged heritage seed stock. Cross pollination from genetically modified seeds can endanger crops from ancient seed stock in the region.
"#Navajos have long planted century-old corn using traditional #DryFarming. Navajos relied on the stars to know when to plant and sometimes planted in spirals, according to Navajo elders in Rock Point, Arizona.
[...]
"However today the Navajo commercial farm boasts on its website that it plants genetic #HybridCorn seed purchased from '#PioneerSeed Company, #Syngenta Inc., and Monsanto companies." The commercial farm, NAPI, is located on the Navajo Nation near Farmington, N.M., and grows commercial food crops, including corn for potato chips, along with potatoes, wheat and other crops.
"Around the world, #Monsanto and genetically modified seeds have meant death for Indigenous Peoples and their crops."
[...]
"The area of northwest #NewMexico has been known as a 'US Sacrifice Area,' since the 1970s. It is the Navajo people who
have been sacrificed, by way of the US government working in collusion with #corporations and the elected Navajo Nation government.
"While #NAPI continues to use genetically modified seeds on its commercial farm, NAPI also has a #RaytheonMissile manufacturing plant located on the commercial farm where the crops are grown, a fact many would like kept secret. The fact that the Raytheon Missile factory is located on the Navajo farm was censored by Indian Country Today in 2006. At that time, Cuba was expressing interest in purchasing food products from NAPI and Indian Country Today editors demanded
that no research be done on Raytheon's missile plant at the farm or any possible pollutants discharged from Raytheon."Read more:

On May 15, teachers belonging to the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE) plan to launch a nationwide strike in Mexico.
The CNTE is a smaller, more radical union within the corrupt and coopted National Union of Education Workers (SNTE). Members of the CNTE make up the majority of teachers in places such as Guerrero, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Tabasco, and Mexico City.
They have put forward 11 demands, including the overturning of the neoliberal educational reform passed in 2013, better wages, improvements to classrooms and schools, and justice in cases such as the disappeared of Ayotzinapa.
The last time the CNTE held a national strike was in 2016, which saw the Nochixtlán Massacre, the jailing of union leaders, the mass firing of teachers, and more. For those interested, I covered those events in-depth for @igd_news when I was writing the column "Insumisión."

On January 1, 1994,
Indigenous peoples from #Chiapas, Mexico, rose up.
They took control of city halls in towns across the state.
They took the state capital #San #Cristobal #de #las #Casas.
And they held them for days, despite a violent response from Mexico’s military.
This was not just any movement confined to the mountainous jungles of Mexico.
It was an Indigenous uprising against injustice. An uprising against neoliberalism. An uprising against globalization and free trade agreements,
and it would have deep reverberations.
Inspiring people, not just in Mexico, but around the world.
BIG NEWS!
This podcast has won Gold in this year’s Signal Awards for best history podcast!
It’s a huge honor.

#Broadwell’s #eDRAM: VCache before #VCache was Cool
Broadwell’s limited #2013 desktop release is interesting because it came with 128 MB of eDRAM L4 cache. Broadwell couldn’t act as a high performance flagship, but #Intel took opportunity to go for high #iGPU performance. Even better, L4 could serve #CPU cores too. That meant Intel had a large cache on a desktop CPU, nearly 7 years before AMD launched the Ryzen 7 5800X3D with vertically stacked cache to give 96 MB of L3.

Sacred Leather – Keep the Fire Burning Review
By Steel Druhm
I’ve never been to Indiana, so I’m not acquainted with how they do things. After listening to Sacred Leather’s sophomore outing, Keep the Fire Burning, I’m definitely left wondering if time moves differently there, though. That’s because this is one of the most retro, throwback-y pure metal things I’ve heard in some time, with a sound so hopelessly locked between 1983-1986, that I feel my back hair receding as my olde denim jacket grows new Venom and Motörhead patches. When I call this style “dated,” what I really mean is carbon-dated.1 Now, don’t take this as a criticism, as those years were some of the very best for classic heavy metal, and Sacred Leather do their damnedest to harvest the finest elements from a time when things were simple, pure, and still very based in hard-rock. As this album unspools, you’ll be whisked away to an age when Jag Panzer, Savage Grace, and Warlord ruled with a collective iron fist, and being labeled a poser was akin to a death sentence. Could you withstand the cred rigors of such a draconian time? Steel Druhm did once and would gladly do so again!
After a tasteful instrumental intro, Sacred Leather tan your worthless hide from point Ape to point ChimpanZee on “Spitfire at Night,” powered by the uber-period guitar work of J.J. Highway and Cvon Owens. It’s vintage metal with a speed injection, and it reminds me of long-forgotten German quasi-thrashers Vendetta mixed with Agent Steel. That’s 100% undiluted Steel bait, and the chum is thick and saucy here. Riffs churn and race, over-the-top solos stamp fat exclamation points, and frontman Dee Wrathchild screams and wails like a banshee on banshee meths. It’s a recipe for rowdy, high-energy shenanigans, and in the steady hands of Sacred Leather, this volatile brew sizzles and pops. “Phantom Highway (Hell is Comin’ Down)” delivers more lusty worship of excess. It’s a slick blend of NWoBHM and the most sturdy of mid-80s US metal, and it reminds me of Sumerlands. “Fallen Angel” channels the early days of Jag Panzer with big arena-ready guitars dueling with wanton vocals locked in overdrive as every ounce of meatheaded drama is wrung from the music. Sure, Mr. Wrathchild lets his voice get away from him at times, but that’s freaking metal, folks.
Song after song hits like a runaway freight train from 1985, and at no point will you want to step off the tracks. “Tear Out My Heart” feels like the bastard love child of Warlord and Savage Grace, with stunning guitars framing the kind of massive vocal drama that only 80s metal can provide. If you were looking for a burly, hard-as-nails breakup song for written for men who don’t cry, this is it. The title track channels the badass anthemic might of the criminally underappreciated Cities, and the band proudly honor their oath to keep the flame of the 80s burning bright. Just as you regain your senses, the big epic closer “Mistress of the Sun” arrives to make you love it or feel the wrath of Wrathchild. This is the same kind of larger-than-life metal tune as Krokus’ immortal “Screaming in the Night,” walking the line between anthem and power ballad and damn if it doesn’t tickle all the same nerve endings. There are no bad tracks, with each activating a major nostalgia bomb. So, what, if any, drawbacks will you encounter amid this most retro metal marination session? There are bits of bloat here and there, like on “Tear Out My Heart,” but not to the point where the songs are seriously undermined. In fact, at a tight 40 minutes, this thing feels like a fast-moving mission statement on how to properly worship the 80s, with a production about as trve to the time as one could hope for.
This is the kind of metal album that exudes guitar magic, and Highway and Owens spare no expense in decorating each song with the trappings of yesteryear. I hear many classic 80s albums referenced in their playing, and they really know the era they pay homage to. The riffs are energetic, beefy, and vibrant, and the harmonies and solos rock hard. Over the top of this solid foundation, Dee Wrathchild channels his inner metal god. Blessed with a broad range, he lets it all hang out, exploring his upper register freely and sometimes in ill-advised ways. He does seem to slip out of tune here and there when going all in, but I don’t especially care. Most of what he delivers is solid and commanding, checking all the boxes of 80s overkill and melodrama.
I love it when I blunder into some December release expecting little but getting my ass handed to me on a gleaming chrome platter. Sacred Leather bring the classic metal thunder, and if you love the sounds of the 80s, you should await the lightning strike. As winter moves ever closer, you too should Keep the Fire Burning. Any other choice would smack of flagrant poserism, and that would mean a visit from the Metal Inquisition. Be true to your olde school.
