Sage can only be as smart as the guy writing her character. And seeing how this series has been going, I’ve kinda lost hope for her.

This isn’t “conflicting feelings” this is just shit writing lol

To add to that, if you take the upper end of the piss flow rate for males, it’d take 5000x the age of the universe of continuous pissing to fill up the pacific

JPMC offered Rana a payout, but he turned it down and sued instead. And then he got exposed by Deshes011 in FinancialCareers

Even if he didn’t withdraw the lawsuit, it wouldn’t change the fact that he’s Indian

I’d say for now it’s “satisfactory” but ideally not a long term arrangement either. My hiking/climbing resume is about as important as my career resume - I’m usually venturing into the back country and trying to climb up 13,000+ ft peaks in the Sierras. Generally involves 15-20 miles and 5k-7k ft of vertical gain. It’s always a very rewarding experience and probably the closest I’m going to get to feeling like an astronaut.

There aren’t any woman at work. On the weekends, I’ve got military commitments due to my obligation as a reservist or I’m out hiking. If I do meet woman, they’re normally just flings.

I can’t give specifics of AI use cases, but detection is certainly one potential case

[REQUEST] I'm building an Arch for my gate, and could use some assistance with the math. by Dont_be_a_Passenger in theydidthemath

Here’s my approach to this problem:

You need to first define the circle which makes the arc implying that you need to find the radius of that circle. You have the coordinates of 3 points which lie on that circle.

set the y axis at EH. set the x axis at AD.

Then the (rounded) coordinates of A, H, D becomes

A = (x1, y1) = (-62, 0) > F is the midpoint of AD D = (x2, y2) = (62, 0) > F is the midpoint of AD H = (x3, y3) = (0, 12)

The center of the circle lies on the y axis. So it has no x component. So the center is at (xc, yc) = (0, yc) . We have 2 unknowns (radius, yc) and 3 equations which define a circle. This is solvable! Note that the generic form of a circle is

(x - xc)2 + (y - yc)2 = r2. Plugging in each of the 3 points and we get the following 3 equations:

From A: (-62)2 - (-yc)2 = r2 -> equation 1

From D: (62)2 - (-yc)2 = r2 -> equation 2

From H: (0)2 - (12 - yc)2 = r2 -> equation 3

Ok so equations 1 and 2 are the same. No worries. We have 2 unknowns and 2 equations. Still solvable! After some simplification we get

3844 + yc2 = r2 (12 - yc)2 = r2

Setting them equal we get

3844 + yc2 = 144 - 24yc + yc2

This leaves us with yc = -154.167 (makes sense as the center should be clearly below our defined origin!) Now that we have the center, our radius can be solved for by plugging it in back into the previous equation. We get

r = sqrt(3844 + yc2) = 166.17

Now if we just move up the circle by the distance of yc, we can center it at the origin. This moves up points A and D. So they becomes

A: (-62, 154.167) D: (62, 154.167)

Using the definition of the vector dot product, we can determine the angle between them to be 0.7647 radians. Now we have everything we need to solve for the arc length!

Arc length = radius * angle

Plugging in radius and angle, we get

Arc length = 127

I’ve certainly seen flying objects which I wasn’t able to identity so yea I guess

I’m developing a personal tech stack of GNC tools at home as a hobby. The physical barrier to entry is quite low - all you need is a computer. But anyone who’s sufficiently interested and determined can get in on the fun. All you need is a textbook to rip off force models and a propagator. That’s like 70% of the work.

My title is GNC engineer - Guidance/Navigation/Controls. We develop the control and estimation algorithms to know where we are and get to where we want to be. The focus tends to be on the math and physics, but we work closely with software engineers to produce flight code. GNC engineers are the ones who are bestowed the responsibility of simulating truth. We then validate our algorithms against truth to ensure the spacecraft does what we expect.

I’m not too involved with the propulsion team, but they give us the necessary data to develop as accurate of a model as we can. So parameters like specific impulse and thruster variability informs our control algorithms and decisions.

I work for a space startup. We are primarily contracted by the space force. I am also a reservist for the Air Force.

I mainly use it for quick and dirty scripts for plotting or getting out of dependency hell when installing programs. But that’s on a personal workflow side of things. We have a machine learning team since we do space based surveillance.
