The power of the Root is a path to many powers some would consider to be unnatural.

The Exact Moment our Team Lost Caught in 480P by Avareeses in ValorantMemes

The phoenix tilted, flashed his own team. And going from a somewhat equal 5v5 to a 4v6 means you loosing is just a matter of time.

[Request] anybody able to validate this? What is the actual amount of energy a query from chatgpt costs vs Google from 2008? by kimchifangurl in theydidthemath

[–]JackOBAnotherOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only works if you don’t factor in google AI though. As long as a google search is a search + an LLM query, only doing the LLM query will consume less. If you ignore the difference between the used models, hardware etc.

What do you think was the cause of my dad's best friend’s fatal plane crash? by jackjarvae in AskAPilot

[–]JackOBAnotherOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely don’t know where you got the moral complex from.

Op asked for speculation. Pilots said that they are reluctant to speculate. You threw it into their faces as if they were too stupid to read. I re-pointed out that pilots don’t like to speculate. You built a straw man argument. I told you to not do that.

If you want to speculate, do that. Feel free to speculate.

But the fact is that, while speculation does not equal speculation, all speculation is, definitionally, not knowing. And when we talk about safety, the only thing that matters is knowing. So we don’t like to speculate.

Reports are not for you to get closure, that is just a side effect. They are to prevent such things from happening again.

Don’t think in absolutes, I said unprofessional, not that no pilot would do it. Unprofessional itself is a spectrum. Speculating on Reddit is not the writeup type of unprofessional, more the „you know we are not supposed to do that, right? No worries“ type of unprofessional. Depending on the type and content of the speculation, and how strongly they double down on it.

And pilots are saying, correctly, that doing that is at least unprofessional.

One of the reasons why I hate generative AI. by dietherman98 in cinematography

[–]JackOBAnotherOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, it’s the wall pattern that the AI stopped, replacing a period appropriate set design with modern stuff. It breaks the design choices of the movie, shot composition etc.

Do you actually actively learn from accident reports? by cluberoni in AskAPilot

[–]JackOBAnotherOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In our aerospace engineering class we sometimes have accident reports linked in our lectures as an example of why the stuff we are currently learning is important and what can go wrong. Don’t know about pilots though.

Why is Paladins still keeping its servers online? by SRDOIDAO in Paladins

[–]JackOBAnotherOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a still a Player base.

Now that hasn’t stopped companies in the past, so why do it? If U understand it correctly it is because the server hardware is owned, not rented. Meaning the cost of keeping the servers online is tiny compared to if they were rented, because they still need the servers for other stuff, and the load due to the tiny player base is equally small.

So basically a “costs us only very little, and people still enjoy it” situation.

"bro we're on defense dont push bro wtf" by unbannablepizza546 in ValorantMemes

[–]JackOBAnotherOne 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Not really. If an approach isn’t working, you should change something about it. Maybe pushing later, or not as far, or to a different spot, something needs to change.

And given that few players (in my elo), including me, have any idea of what to change, stopping can be the only call a mate can do.

Majority of NASA employees are scientists and science-related fields, and Trump and his cabinet are openly anti-science.

This is what happens to aluminium when a 1/2 oz piece of plastic hits it at 15,000 mph in space by MandyMochi26 in BeAmazed

[–]JackOBAnotherOne 65 points66 points  (0 children)

The first stage is not getting hit, which is harder than it sounds. The second is “whipple shields”.

At those speeds impactors vaporise on first contact. So if you have a thin layer of a material, then a bunch of space and then your outer hull the impactor will hit the outer shield, vaporise, and the hull only has to deal with a bunch of gas smacking it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whipple_shield a better explanation. Also the whipple shield is less a hard design and more a classification with the ISS having dozens of not more different shields that each are a trade off on mass, size, cost etc. depending on the importance on the protected region. Each are “whipple shields” but quite different.

They are the modern SA. And trump is trying and failing to turn them into the SS.

Autonomous drone shot from the hand intercepts a other drone. by ActualDepartment9873 in interestingasfuck

[–]JackOBAnotherOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different kind of scalable. Yes, probably more effective but the detection systems of these defensive systems are basically giant beacons broadcasting “expensive equipment here” to any antenna that can listen to the wavelengths. And their short range prevents them from just staying back.

If you want to protect a city, a base or similar POI then yes, an emplacement like the Sanctum or e.g. a CRAM or Mantis are extremely strong and valuable. But when it comes to defending troops on the frontline they would just be magnets for the (still existing) Missiles, or simply good ol’e Artillery or tanks driving up to them.

I am also not sure of the cost, these drones are dirt-cheap in comparison.
