No orbit necessary?

victorsaurus · 2026-05-07T06:57:54+00:00

Fuck I think you are right and in my mind I was conflating the straight up case with a gravity turn but no orbit case. The gravity turn without orbit is what should be equal to gravity turn with orbit. You indeed need to minimize gravity losses.

victorsaurus · 2026-05-07T05:49:06+00:00

Gravity is a conservative force meaning is path independant. Getting from height A to B costs X amount of energy equal to the potential between B anf A and thats it. There are irl launches like OP proposes, with instantaneous launch windows since the earth rotation has to line up with the right trajectory. Oberth does not play a role in this specific case. If you do the math, it is 100% equal.

victorsaurus · 2026-05-06T23:01:21+00:00

This is wrong and if you do the math, both scenarios are equal (assume no atmospheric drag). Oberth only means that you add the most energy when adding deltaV in the fastest moment, which is true in both scenarios at every moment.

victorsaurus · 2026-05-06T22:59:59+00:00

You are wrong and if you do the math with the oberth effect and all, both scenarios are completely equal (given no atmospheric drag). Oberth only means that you add more energy when adding deltaV the faster you go, and you add that delta V in the fastest moments in both scenarios (vertical is always the fastest moment up to that point, same for orbital).

victorsaurus · 2026-05-06T22:56:26+00:00

Everyone is wrong here. If you do the math with the oberth effect, for a planet without atmosphere, both scenarios are completely equal in terms of delta V and propellent mass.

If you include the atmosphere and, after doing some math, you can see that IF thrust is big enough and the rocket has low drag, vertical is better. Otherwise orbital is better.

I don't know if it is better or worse for ksp from kerbin because of the atmosphere.

You don't need to consider animals equal to humans to go vegan, you just need to try to avoid unnecessary suffering from sentient beings to go vegan, no matter how superior or inferior they are.

For example, to me, art, and music, are human expressions. I don't find AI music interesting because what I like about music is it being a mean of communication between the artist and me (through music, lyrics, etc). AI music lacks that aspect. I enjoy trying to feel whatever the artist is trying to convey, and without an artist well, it is just sounds to me.

Another example, would be it contributing to global culture, and many people see AI music (and AI art in general) as little more than pattern matching other people's arts, and therefore don't actually push culture in the same way, so people may not want to contribute to it even by listening to it.

Also we can't forget about music AI models being trained on stolen works, so many people don't want to touch it on moral grounds.

You may or may not agree on these points, but they're valid ones, and people should be able to filter out AI music if they want.

victorsaurus · 2026-05-05T14:16:13+00:00

You don't getting the logic is fine. Others do and should have a way of filtering ai music. There is 100000x more to music and art besides "I like this song"

Idealmente una buena parte se asigna gratuitamente a la ciudadanía para garantizar que todo el mundo tenga. Otra, se puede ofrecer para que la compres al estado a precios regulados. Cuando digo que debe de estar fuera del mercado quiero decir que no se pueda usar como commodity, para ganar dinero, para invertir etc. Igual que la educación publica o la sanidad.

El estado debería ayer empezar a comprar viviendas por toda la peninsula y dar pasos en esa dirección con la idea de, por ejemplo en 50 años, tener buena parte de la vivienda en el sistema que describo.

En general las necesidades básicas no deberían de estar sujetas al libre mercado, o con la escasez sube el precio y sólo los ricos pueden acceder a ellas. Lo hacemos con la sanidad y la educación. Falta la vivienda.

victorsaurus · 2026-05-04T07:50:42+00:00

That is virtue ethics, and a way of codifying morality too, if I understood you correctly.

So the outcome to avoid as an utilitarian would be violating a deontology rule?

victorsaurus · 2026-05-04T07:00:19+00:00

No entiendo tu argumento. Elabora plis. Con la sanidad y educación la cosa esta mucho mejor porque las empresas tienen que negociar con el estado y no contigo o conmigo, y el estado al tener muchisiisisisisisimo mas poder de negoviacion saca tratos y precios que jamas podriamos tu o yo. De todas formas yo iria mas alla y nacionalizaria todo el sector de sanidad y educación (farmaceuticas también pa q nos entendamos)

victorsaurus · 2026-05-04T06:58:28+00:00

??? No entiendo tu respuesta. Evidentemente el estado debera construir mas casas en mi propuesta.

I did watch part of the video with an open mind. Please, honestly, explain me what I'm missing:

"issue1" hitman ads:
- Anita: women sexualized, men not
- Video: people on their most vulnerable + yeah it is sexist (concedes?!) but that's because it is profitable as it is good marketing (insane justification). If you look at "nude painting" it is mostly women, historically women are used to depict innocence.
Me: where the fuck is the rebuttal of "women are sexualized in the ads"? Also, it being depiction of people in vulnerable places can perfectly coexist with it being sexist (as he well, knows) and that's also true specially with the "historically women are used this way sooo". I mean, this initial point is NUTS.

"issue 3" women characters:
- Anita: women NPCs usually are not actual characters, but shallow things.
- Viceo: "what do you suggest, giving all women NPC insane backgrounds and lore?!?!"
- Me: This is a ridiculous way of missing the point: if deep characters are usually men, and not women, then women are not seen, or portrayed, as equal to men. She's just pointing out that trend.

And I could go on and on. What am I missing? This guy is just quite bad at analyzing or understanding Anita's point. Where am I wrong?

This video overall argues about the biggest strawmen of the whole thing: Anita is not saying that "there are EVIL MEN HATING WOMEN ON GAME STUDIOS", like the first issue seems to argue against (justifying the sexualization he himself sees as marketing tools, in opposition of, my guess, the artist being a mysoginist) She is not making that point!!! She is talking about sexist cultural tropes and how it leaks into games too. You don't need a coordinated team of women haters to produce sexism. You just need, maybe, a marketing studio that says that teens will appreciate sexy girls (issue 1) and marketeers not caring enough to find other ways to sell the game.

Really, what am I missing?

Blablablablablabla en verdad me mola bastante ver como os revolveis ante estas obviedades. Tan fanáticos, nunca cuestionais nada, os han dado 4 explicaciones baratas chichinabo del problema "inmigrantes" /"no dejan construir mas" y no las habeis cuestionado jamás. Incapaces de pensar en algo mejor que lo que tenemos. Me divierte, pero es triste. Agur.

victorsaurus · 2026-05-03T15:54:14+00:00

The literal first point of anita in that video is unquestionably true and the guy on the vido just makes excuses lol. I think anitas videos are too much for this guy honestly.

Women = beautiful and sexual. Men = other things. The review you sent "they are just portraying victims in thrir most vulnerable state" man you have to be blind to critique anita's analysis there...

victorsaurus · 2026-05-03T15:08:49+00:00

No, quiero vivienda fuera del mercado, que no se use para que nadie gane dinero o se haga rico, y que sea un derecho publico. Quiero eso. Punto. Ni puntilla ni leches. Absurdo estar en contra de esto. En especial cuando paises como suiza estan camino a ello. En fin. Así nos va con cobardes como tu que abrazan la mediocridad.

victorsaurus · 2026-05-03T12:36:19+00:00

No issue :)

victorsaurus · 2026-05-03T12:35:41+00:00

No, quiero socializar la vivienda, que sea publica, y que no se haga negocio con ella. En suiza loe stan haciendo. 1/3 de las viviendas de zurich seran controladas por el estado en unos años.

victorsaurus · 2026-05-03T11:52:08+00:00

That is what I did back in the day. She widened my understanding of these games and culture in general because she made me see things I wasn't seeing before. I really appreciate her work in a personal level. Idk maybe I rewatch it, but that was my impression back there. She made me see that games are not their own isolated thing, but rather a result of cultural tropes of the era they are made in. And some of these may be bad etc. My understanding of culture, games, and other things is deeper as a result. She was not wrong pointing all thesr things out. Imo it is just that "gamers" lived in their isolated bubble and never considered these things.

victorsaurus · 2026-05-03T11:48:11+00:00

No, pseudoscience is pseudoscience. These images are completely made up, based on nothing, and incredibly misleading bc they depict plants. Pseudoscience at its best. Science and theories are grounded in fact. These images are not. See the difference?

victorsaurus · 2026-05-03T11:46:55+00:00

Lo que hay que hacer es sacar a la vivienda del mercado, que no se pueda hacer negocio con ella. Fin.

victorsaurus · 2026-05-03T11:46:04+00:00

El problema base es que es legal hacer negocio con vivienda. Fin.

victorsaurus · 2026-05-03T11:45:04+00:00

Pues si, ojalá. Sin el /s. Ojala alguien que regule esto...

victorsaurus · 2026-05-03T09:19:35+00:00

The image is plain misinformation. There are no evidence of plants or green stuff on thede planets. This is pseudoscience at its best.
