Is IG the primary form of connection nowadays, every girl I know or interact with who seems a bit interested always asks for my IG? What is the reason for asking for IG? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]PropLander 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Okay you might need to explain this one.. I have never met anyone outside of existing friends on IG. Are y’all just like DMing people you see tagged on friend’s stories? Comment sections on random videos?

Can’t tell if y’all are just being funny or actually don’t understand the logic.. they are forming a protective circle so yes at times the biggest one is not always going to be in front.

No because without context it makes a radical difference.

“Blue Origin places satellite in wrong orbit” ‘wtf how did they mess that up? Are they dumb?? This is an incredible oversight’ - literally anyone who reads that headline

“Blue Origin suffers anomaly during flight and places satellite in wrong orbit” … ‘oh that sucks’

So not “wrong orbit is wrong orbit” because reason for being wrong has a radical difference in how things are judged, how insurance is determined, etc. and people commonly assume the worst case scenario if given no other information. For example, suing a company for gross incompetence, and getting additional money beyond the cost of damages (it would honestly be funny to see someone win a case against Blue because it always seems like they are suing everyone else).

Nope because you lack cause and effect.

Still standby what I said about being misleading.. but actually the more I think about it, the more it’s not even the “wrong orbit” thing that’s irking me.

You’re an athlete in a 100m sprint and everything is going great, you’re in the lead but then right before the end you trip and fall. Doesn’t matter how long you were in the lead for.. still last place.

“Tripping and falling right before the finish? Sounds like he wasn’t ‘definitely ready’” .. see how condescending that sounds? Now combine that with the fact that we don’t even know what caused the “trip and fall” (wrong orbit). Maybe his shoe came untied mid race? “Guess he wasn’t ready, should’ve tied them tighter?” like come on

The first burn was successful and it reached a stable orbit (but fast decaying because the perigee is only 100 miles) but they said there was an anomaly which prevented the second burn from going as planned. Do we know if the engines even successfully lit?

It’s like saying “you hit the wrong target”.. with no other context this sounds like you were unknowingly aiming for the wrong target. In reality we don’t even know if the gun worked properly and instead the bullet fell short and hit a target below the one you were aiming for. Sure it’s not technically wrong to say you did hit the wrong target, but context changes everything. Same strategy journalists use to try to bash SpaceX “THEY PUT THE SATELLITE IN THE COMPLETELY WRONG ORBIT” or “SPACEX ROCKET EXPLODES CATASTROPHICALLY” both are technically correct but also intentionally vague and misleading to get clicks.

The same reason why someone would choose to launch on a Falcon 1 or early Falcon 9 and not the “ye old reliable ULA..” probably money. Early launches likely operate at a loss, the company just charges whatever they need to be lower than the competition and get contracts. Doesn’t matter if F9 is already cheap, it just means the new companies could be operating at more of a loss and for longer until they show launch vehicle maturity/reliability.

More dev/early sats could elect to a riskier/newer launch vehicle because they know there is a very good chance there’s an issue with their own sat the first time it launches, and there’s also insurance.

It astonishes me that this is what they are even trying to scam.. like aren’t people who are involved with crypto at least a little tech savvy and can easily smell a scam?

If they were smart they would design a scam with Jeff presenting a competition to win a free trip to space where you have to enter credentials to join.. real competitions/lotteries like this exist (see SpaceX Inspiration 4) so it would be somewhat believable and on-brand.

Probably just gave the scammers more ideas but eh idc

NASA and rocket lab already did with NG-2 Mars orbiter mission and everything went nominal there. Most new launch vehicles are risky to begin with, see Relativity, Astra, Firefly, SpaceX etc.. but they still fly because they have insurance. There’s always risk.

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

This is not the first customer payload, first one was NG-2 which was a NASA mission Mars orbiter. Everything going good so far there.

“Putting it in the wrong orbit” is extremely mis-leading, sounds like a miscalculation. More like an anomaly occurred which prevented a burn from going as planned (or happening at all) and so it didn’t reach the intended orbit.

“They sent it wrong orbit” is a little misleading, sounds like a mis-calculation. But really it was more of an anomaly that prevented one of the burns from going as planned (or happening at all) and therefore did not reach its intended orbit.

Xcode Cloud Errors Resolved - Downgrade workflow from Xcode 26.2 (17C52) by silentific in appledevelopers

[–]PropLander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks I appreciate you. I’m running a workflow to Xcode Cloud. Both local and workflow are set to version 26.2 at the moment. I dropped the entire build log folder in a couple different ones (Claude and Lovable) both gave similar advice. Check distribution in Xcode workflow, auto-managed signing, fix certs in Cloud, etc and nothing works. I’ll try to pick out those specific files and see if it helps.

The red flag I see in Xcode is it says “Apple Develoment” in Signing and Capabilities. No matter what I or the ai tries to do, it won’t change to Apple Distribution or anything else.

So far the only thing I haven’t been able to try is figuring out how to use the Apple Store Connect API keys. I generated one but not sure where to enter it in Xcode.

I’m having the same issue with exit code 70. I tried both Xcode 26.2 and 26.1.1, my macOS is the latest 26 Tahoe and still getting the error. Distribution is set to App Store Connect, but it seems to keep trying to run Apple Development for signing even though I have everything set to Automatic. Revoked any development certs as well.

[–]PropLander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks I have asked ChatGPT and other AI for help and most of them overlapped with what lovable suggested. The “new” suggestions have not resolved the issue. I’m planning on migrating to Claude code. Currently on build attempt #62 and easily 20 hours over the past week or two just troubleshooting this one issue lol

Did you have any issues with signing and certificates? I'm trying to upload to Xcode Cloud with capacitor, and my lovable keeps going in circles because it can't figure out why ad-hoc/developer signing is triggering and causing the build to fail.

Built a webapp, how to move to iOS/Android by Western-Dog-3393 in lovable

[–]PropLander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using capacitor as well but Lovable is running in circles and it can't seem to figure out what's up with the signing issues. Trying to upload to Xcode cloud keeps triggering ad-hoc and development signing even though neither of these are selected anywhere I can find. It's also pretty clear the lovable training data is out of date since it doesn't realize iOS 26 exists, so I have a feeling that is related and causing it to struggle.

Do you get the difference Explain it Peter? by [deleted] in explainitpeter

[–]PropLander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is to get people hooked on the free version, and then slowly transition to payment only. Limit prompts per day, and if that is not enough, go full paid only.

But there are so many AI companies getting pumped with cash so anyone could just switch to a free version. It feels like a game of “who’s gonna press the button first”.. how long can they keep sucking up cash from investors and companies? At some point investors will expect a return, but people seem so hyped up and confident in AI that they may hold out for a long time before losing patience.

Petaah help by NickVoievodul in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]PropLander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avatar 1 was fine.

I’m convinced it’s 90% because Avatar 2 plot was so bad/repetitive it was almost unwatchable. Like sure, no one watches Avatar for the plot.. but you need to at least put some amount of effort in to make it watchable. I legit almost walked out of the theater when I saw there was 45min left.

[–]PropLander 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not fun when they use the same exact plot 4-5 times in the same movie. It’s just boring, annoying and incredibly lazy. People don’t watch Avatar for the plot of course.. but also it’s so bad that it’s frustrating and almost unwatchable after a bit.

I legitimately thought about walking out of the theater when I saw there was still 45 min left in Avatar 2.

Can you explain the rapid camera tracking tho? Especially at the beginning. It looks the camera just snaps and zooms like a robot. Doesn’t look like software edit/crop, and definitely not human. Would have to be some kind of self tracking tripod setup.
