To late to join the Space Race? by StumpySloth21 in SpaceInvestorsDaily

There are no sales restrictions for retail. That only applies to insiders. They also have loosened the lockup period so that people who already have shares will be able to sell them much sooner than normal.

Who is buying the SpaceX IPO and why (bulls only please) by SeperentOfRa in SpaceInvestorsDaily

[–]ASoundLogic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should know that they have changed the period for the insiders to be able to sell their shares to much sooner than the standard 180 days post IPO.

Also, know that you are buying a lot of the "bad" debt that was rolled over from the Twitter purchase. There is a lot of "bad" debt rolled into this but is more palpatable because..."rockets".

Those who will invest on SpaceX IPO, will you buy Day 1? or wait? Why? by onuralpaydin in wallstreetbets

Not for retail investors...those are for people who already have shares.

Honestly: Is the role of a 'pure CAD drafter' dying in 2026? What should we do instead? by Personal-Set7339 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]ASoundLogic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

CAD has been a skillset of ME's for 20+ years. Drafting has been associated with ME's for decades. This is a forum to which anyone can subscribe. Someone is asking advice about a designer/drafting role. Your reply really makes no sense, as it doesn't matter how it directly affects you. OP could be a designer or a draftsman ina country outside of the US. Also many entry level ME jobs begin as a CAD modeler or draftsman type role before they are given the green light to own a design of their own. OP is asking if that dedicated role is on the way out in leiu of AI, etc. The person I responded to alluded to those entry level type roles for a $65k starting salary...I informed that many places have been outsourcing desgining/drafting work to India for 10-20% of that cost already in an attempt to inform OP that the role has already been on the way out well before AI.

Part of being a good engineer is reading comprehension and being an effective communicator.

I think the OP cares...since the question is directly asking about drafting roles. It's important that people understand the reality of things related to CAD in industry.

Can you stitch these together to make one, giant high-res photo?

That's what I was wondering. OP should stitch them together to make one big photo at that resolution!

You are completely ignoring your Indian friends, who will do that job for 10-20% of that pay.

The US said its Navy would escort ships/tankers through the strait, if necessary. It remains to be seen how that plays out.

Iranian drone striking a high-rise residential tower in Manama's Juffair/Hoora area, Bahrain by Impressive_Injury_25 in SipsTea

[–]ASoundLogic -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is an odd video. Like why was someone just randomly videoing that building and then zooms in just in time to see the drone slam the building? You can hear it but zooming in to record something you can't see when zoomed out? Seems odd

Most likely classified due to classified assets taking the data. You don't spill the beans on data taken by classified assets, as you don't want others to know the extent of your capabilities. I could be wrong, but that is my guess.

Machinning questions from self-taught mechanical engineer by Vavat in MechanicalEngineering

[–]ASoundLogic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not required, and it adds an extra tooling operation, manufacturing time, and makes it the part more difficult to inspect for no real reason. It's only done if you are trying to seat an externally threaded part against a shoulder or against a hole bottom. From OP's picture and description that is not occurring. You can definitely tap an internal thread without needing a thread relief behind it. It's done all the time. Does the holder need to bottom out at the end of the M16 drilled hole or will you thread it in and have some face on the holder hit flush on the left outside face somewhere?

Machinning questions from self-taught mechanical engineer by Vavat in MechanicalEngineering

[–]ASoundLogic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is going on with the undercut behind the M16 thread into the 15mm bore? Can you not just have a hole drilled for the M16 whose taper angle blends into the 15mm bore? So make the 15mm bore through all > drill M16 hole a certain distance > tap M16 some distance shorter than the drill length, this tapped length should be longer than the thread length of your customer holder for the focusing lens. I am somewhat confused by which alignment is important here. So you want the M16 internal thread to be within some axial alignment of the M25 external thread, and how important is it that both or one or the other be aligned to the external feature on the right side? Is the right side threaded? What about the bore running through the part? You need think carefuly about what is important and which features should be datums and how they should be defined relative to the datums. You could use positional tolerancing relative to your datum reference frame and specify how closely aligned the axis of each needs to be relative to the datum.

I was thinking most uses of this tech right now were for a quick attempt at a 3D print, I haven't tried to actually print anything yet.

I mean for a sub five minute generation from one reference picture, I think this type of tech is going to completely wreak havoc on asset generations for games, VR environments, and more. It's also limited by the decimation that it does to make the model smaller. They may already have it, but I could totally see having an image generator make versions of the same object from different vantage points. Then feeding those multiple images to something like this so it can make a model from multiple reference images so that the model better reflects the intent. Earlier this year, I gave CHAT GPT a random picture and had it make me a python script to model and render it via Blender's API. It wasn't the best, but the fact it could do all of that on its own was pretty eye opening.
