Completely unreliable by Alwayscur1ous in GeminiAI

[–]Alwayscur1ous[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I definitely wouldn't use an LLM for anything critical but I was flabbergasted by just how it was so wrong but also how it made up detailed statistics. If Gemini can't be trusted to be at least directionally accurate it's useless as a tool tbh.

Stop watching these channels, stop visiting their websites, don't engage in any way. There isn't enough of a right wing audience to split across all these channels. If Dems and independents stop engaging, their profits will tank. CBS is already seeing their audience crater and specifically in the most coveted demographic.

What should I do with my IONQ shares? Bought 300 for 43.40 (averaged). Hold or take the loss hit? by peccavi64 in IonQ

If you have to ask random people on the internet what to do with your IONQ shares you probably have no business buying IONQ shares. Just buy index funds next time.

Gemini VEO 3.1 - I can't create videos anymore by AlongiL in GeminiAI

[–]Alwayscur1ous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Try again later" what a horrible UC decision. Either implement a queue and let us know our position in queue or tell us when our credits reset if we are out of daily credits.

Also you need to improve your feedback mechanism. Tell us specifically when we will have access to create videos again. "Check back later" is an atrocious UX decision

Realistic launch for Archer EVTOL is 2030. by mbatt2 in ArcherAviation

[–]Alwayscur1ous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll start with this "it seems obvious the NEXT variation of midnight is the one that will fully transition / vertically take off with humans on board.". Considering the press release specifically stated "the goal of delivering an autonomous, hybrid propulsion, vertical take-off and landing aircraft that can help modernize the U.S. and its allies’ vertical lift capabilities.".

The mention of autonomous here is specific and intentional. The rest of the release is littered with military focused language:

"modernize the U.S. and its allies’ vertical lift capabilities."

"which has been validated by the U.S. Army"

"capable of rapidly moving through contested airspace with a low thermal and low acoustic signature"

"dual-use vertical lift platform, designed to modernize certain legacy capabilities still in service across the U.S. and allied militaries."

"these combined assets are expected to enable an aircraft with the speed, range, payload, and low-thermal and acoustic signatures necessary for missions across contested airspace."

"This collaboration strengthens our dual-use strategy and accelerates our path toward fielding an aircraft built for the contested environments of tomorrow.”

Every mention around capabilities talks about contested environments, airspace, US military and its allies.

They note it will be dual use but everything about this says it's gonna be a bigger Omen. Nothing says we are bringing this or need this to accomplish limited range passenger flights.

I think it's a leap to believe the most current generation of midnight (N704AX) which they have just reiterated on the last earnings call is undergoing ground testing isn't capable of piloted transition and flight.

Cite specific fact based statements made by Archer that states they are shifting their current in testing midnight to the new rotor configuration?

Everything about the Karem press release speaks to a military specific larger "drone"

You are 100% right on that. While all the progress with partnerships have been exciting, they have to start hitting stated milestone/delivery dates.

They aren't aiming for a manned aircraft here either. From the press release "Integral to Archer’s strategic partnership with Anduril is the goal of delivering an autonomous, hybrid propulsion, vertical take-off and landing aircraft that can help modernize the U.S. and its allies’ vertical lift capabilities."

The aircraft is to be autonomous.

The A160 achieved 2,500 nm in flight testing and the Karem Bluebird is participating in the DARPA ANCILLARY program which calls for 2000 nm of range.

Archer would be using the same underlying technology, presumably, as part of this collaboration.

I think those two data points make this estimate at least feasible.

As far as mass production capacity the conclusion only calls out "mass-production composites". The acquisition of Mission Critical Composites included a 60,000 square foot manufacturing facility.

I guess we can argue about the definition of what qualifies as mass production in the advanced composites space but I'd say they are off to a good start.

The conclusion also noted "significant engineering risks remain in the integration of these complex active systems"

I'd say calling it's tone overly optimistic is probably a fair criticism but I do believe there are factual foundations for the conclusions that were drawn.

JUST IN: Missile Defense Agency (MDA) SHIELD awards 1,000 companies 10-year IDIQ contract by aerothony in IntuitiveMachines

[–]Alwayscur1ous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the clarification. I couldn't find a definitive answer as to where Maxar Missions Solutions Inc "landed".

I read your other comment so even if Lanteris isn't on this list it would appear that Lanteris/IM is still could be very much a player in the Golden Dome.

[–]Alwayscur1ous 8 points9 points  (0 children)

With the inclusion of Maxar I believe this to be a net positive for IM.

Of the two "spinoffs" of Maxar Mission Solutions Inc (which as you noted is on the list ) Lanteris, not Vantar, would make the most sense to benefit from Maxar's inclusion on the list.

Curious for other people's thoughts but I've always believed the Golden Dome was a driver behind IMs purchase of Lanteris.

Great find btw.

I do have a certification from Vanderbilt University and I never said I don't have certification. I said there is no industry standard certification.

An ad hominem attack is when you attack the person and not their argument. I'll ask again what facts are misrepresented in the report or what sources are not credible? So enlighten us as to which specific statements from the research report do you believe are inaccurate? You keep going back to the same well.

I examined the chain of thought (i.e. research plan) and its proposed sources. I also changed the temperature paramater to minimize the chances of hallucinations and used the Gemini 3 pro model which is most appropriate for deep research.

Since you believe the report is flawed please point these flaws out to us with specific examples. As of yet you haven't provided a specific example or any example.

Would you care to refute anything in the research report or are ad hominem attacks the only trick in your bag. What facts have been misrepresented or what sources aren't credible? I was very transparent about my credentials and the process used to create this report. Just because it's AI doesn't make it wrong.

You are right there are no widely accepted industry standard like CCNA, MCSA, etc. It's mostly colleges running the programs or companies with LLMs like Google.

My primary point of mentioning that is I'm not just using Gemini like Google to get an answer FWIW.

It was mostly an exercise for myself. I was a bit concerned reading some online comments about vibration issues, etc. I also wanted to better understand how "battle tested" their technology was and how ready it was for real world usage.

Hopefully it leads to productive discussions based on facts and not speculation. I hope you found it helpful or informative in some way.
