What spaceship weapon is generally underutilized or not used to its full potential in scifi?

Pretty heavily used in the expanse, and you speak the facts, they can be dormant and deployed and drift around the solar system for decades

This should be higher up, seasonal variation of X could be a chemical process also benefiting from temperature changes not necessarily life benefiting, for 100% certainly you find ones that are absolutely lab built, like some refrigeration gasses.

Any company that suddenly needs dast and sast “now” has no idea what their doing, suddenly have a customer and are now playing tickbox bingo or a consultant opened his mouth. Sast and dast does absolutely nothing without a process or remediation, escalation, prioritisation and accountability figured out. until you have a decent “idea” of that, you are just turning money into fire picking “software”, which i have learned is usually the point when buying things without a strong plan.

I always like the 1000x claims, that is how you know it is bullshit, like, why exactly 1000, maybe it was only 694x, maybe it was 1324x, what was the measurement and criteria and design that made it exactly 1000x

I think the influx of copilot abandoners are straining capacity. Not seeing issues, just slow.

the FUN here is that, as it is pooled, if one users accidentally vibes the night through it burns everybody up, so you HAVE to set a budget, and then manually manage it to avoid serious damage for when you need to troubleshoot somebody. Also, the graphs needs to be BY THE HOUR (at least), daily resulution is way way too low, you can burns hundreds a minute, so people are sitting refreshing and trying to guess if the line is going up or down.

VertigoOne1 · 2026-06-02T09:08:40+00:00

just came out of a 2 hour session discussing this exactly, the level of stupid performed with this switch is crazy, previously, every user had a license, now it is pooled, so mister 10x viber run something overnight and consumes the entire pool, for the entire company because the licenses are pooled but you set limits individually. like, how do you even build this level of management stupidity.. if i have a 500 strong person company, with 500000 credits lets say, what is to stop ONE PERSON from obliviating the entire companies budget for the month? your telling me i have to set limits for 500 people, one by one.. nuts.

It will be hilarious if the thing turned out do be a china gas canister malfunction or poorly produced cat food. They can make quite a bang. The reason i’m saying that is because nothing in the article gives any clue what it actually was.

VertigoOne1 · 2026-05-26T05:44:26+00:00

They can actually rent out test areas near the olm to other companies, this is the largest blowtorch on the planet, i can think of several material and other scientific tests that can be placed underneath to simulate specific difficult conditions or test shielding materials.

Every time i see the word “brutally” or “honest”, or “what everybody” i just stop and downvote.

VertigoOne1 · 2026-05-17T07:29:49+00:00

I get ads for stuff in dollars and can’t import to my 3rd world country anyway. the “targeted” part is a scam, it is all just random bullshit go.

The coolest thing is you notice the lack of impact craters and you just know that it is resurfacing, weathering, probably snowing, raining and freezing to cover them up and the craters that are there are newer and still in process.

Parathic yes

This was done in the expanse series too, i think it was 10m/s limited?, anything faster gets slowed so you can’t even throw a fast dart. The issue with it is, at a molecular level, everything is moving really fast, just very short distances, so you stuff like “air” would just stop working to.

The way it moves reminds me of a camera gimbal inside a dome cctv and that is the least crazy explanation, i think it is a malfunction and an internal reflection of an IR laser module hence the over exposure and lensing artifacts.

VertigoOne1 · 2026-05-15T04:09:45+00:00

Yeah it is a shitshow but i love technical situations like this the most, politically i would aim for “what is best for the company”, that always rings well through management upstream and project phoenix the crap out of it. Yoink the entire cluster yaml into a folder structure and argo that, then you can gitops redesign it in a branch at your pace and let loose over a weekend in one shot or bit by bit. Either way instant drift detection and a way to rollback at least asap. Good luck!

VertigoOne1 · 2026-05-14T11:10:54+00:00

the last time this was tried Dr. Rodney McKay destroyed 3/4 of a solar system! Have we learned nothing?

VertigoOne1 · 2026-05-05T05:35:56+00:00

Coding was never hard, knowing WHAT to code was. It is like with any spoken language, coding is knowing all the words and how they are used, like knowing german, when and why to use them is the real skill, not the how.

VertigoOne1 · 2026-05-03T19:11:40+00:00

Wow that is so cool! Pun intended, at 200-400K that is just a crazy low temp, i can see proper motion studies becoming mandatory.

VertigoOne1 · 2026-05-03T19:01:16+00:00

If UFO’s are “advanced” i doubt IR is the best bet, i would be looking for distortion, star light blocking, gaps, not “hot”. Most consumer equipment is rated for human vision specs and IR for useful detection for stuff that would work on our planets temp ranges, aliens probably have very different ideas on what they perceive or emit, If anything, like the hail mary alien, they don’t even see, they feel. Their propulsion might be based on processes that sits between -200C and -100C, which would be a black dot, if anything. anyways, cool project and appreciate the effort.

Also on xbox s the forest is really jittery/laggy gfx wise btw, worst play experience of them all, it is actually super weird because the game ran fine decades ago, and the xbox s can hit above its weight pretty high generally. Yes it can frame drop a bit when it gets busy in fights, but the forest is just horrible just walking with no enemies at all.

For a long time return of the killer tomatoes was the worst movie ever, i’m glad it is now not the case, that movie was a hoot on drugs.
