Extremely self-congratulatory tech insider, but puts the specs in context. It’s about as powerful as a $600 laptop, which is the most he expects it to sell for.
Valve only claims “6 times the performance of a Steam Deck” in the announcement, which isn’t all that much depending on how that’s measured. Still way faster than an Xbox, though.

13·1 year agoThat really wasn’t my takeaway from the engineering campus 20 years ago, but who knows what’s changed.
Something like that did apply to all the clubs and their faculty leadership, though. Even when they had “enrollment” meetings the only way to really join anything was to meet the right person at a party.
EDIT: I forgot, but the business school was famous for that from its inception. Fuck those guys.
The weight classes used to be round numbers, but they changed them all up or down a couple kilo in 1992 after a doping scandal in order to reset all the records.
And then they did the same thing in 1997, for the same reason.
And then they did the same thing in 2018, for the same reason.
It’s very silly, but I guess it means we get more world record attempts?
Depending on atmospheric conditions bullet contrails can be very visible. Looks real to me.
To be fair, the criteria are very precise, they’re just only vaguely related to reality.
My favorite is the double-barreled 1911 pistol. It has two triggers, because if it only had one trigger it would be a machine gun (it would fire multiple bullets with one pull of the trigger). But physically it would never work if it didn’t always fire both barrels at exactly the same time, so it only has one slide and both hammers are connected to each other. But because you have to drop two sears with two triggers before it will fire apparently it’s totally legal.
Caught NPR this morning as they brought someone on to tell us:
- Raisi was the hardest of hard liners
- He hated America
- He even opposed the assassination of Suleimani, in an example of how hard-line he was
- He was actually just a puppet of the supreme leader
- And everyone in Iran hated him anyway
So I guess it was an assassination then?
2·2 years agoIt’s actually a film from 2020, about film during the cultural revolution.
The magnet links should work without signing up, so in decreasing order of quality:

Three working torrents at rutracker.org (search “one second 2020”).
I found a few Chinese torrents on BT4G searching “一秒钟”, but I don’t have a way to connect to Chinese peers.
Iskandr and Kinzhal don’t follow that ballistic missile trajectory, though. Neither does ATACMS. These are all semi-ballistic missiles that follow something closer to the “hypersonic glide vehicle” trajectory in your drawing (without the little skim maneuver, though, probably).
The real difference here is range. Things called “hypersonic glide vehicles” are intercontinental. Iskandr is “just” a missile that flys a low trajectory really fast.
Worked for Fidel, though?
Where I am in the US I have to go to an asian grocery store and buy a 20 lb bag if I want white rice that isn’t pre-washed and fortified, and even then half the stock is labelled 無洗米.
I don’t understand this dunk at all.
Just passed a pro-Palestine trucker convoy near the Islamic center in Rashida’s district (I don’t live there), kinda cool.
They also claimed to have damaged the Samum a while ago, but I’m not sure how anyone would be able to tell.
Its heartbreaking how the two coolest ships in the world just never worked right. There’s a grand total of two seconds of footage of Sivuch at full hover, and I was almost hoping we might get more. :(
EDIT: found it. Soviet archival footage of Sivuch fully out of the water running on turbines at 15 seconds.
Wait, that’s actually really impressive. How does that work?
Wire-guided ATGMs work because there’s a big beacon in the tail of the rocket for the launcher to home in on and give steering commands to. It doesn’t work if there are two of them (which is how the big silly glowing eyes thing on the T-90 defeats them, by the way).
Must be a digital guidance system with different beacon ID frequencies in the missiles?
Though when they showed both of them through the sight the second missile was all over the place, and all the combat footage was only one missile at a time. Dual shot was probably just for the cameras, but it did still appear to be guiding both of them, if poorly.
Looks like some sort of shaped charge, something similar to this, and it looks like he pointed the business end of it right towards the turret ring.
Decent chance that that thing took out the tank on its own, actually, if it was pointed the right direction and was the right distance (not too close, not too far) from something vital.
Historically the flat end of anti-tank grenades like that were magnetic so they could be stuck to the tank with the right stand-off from the armor, but maybe that doesn’t work as well today? Or more likely nobody expects to place a demo charge on a tank anymore.
Yep, DSU-33 is the prox fuze for the Mk 80 series, looks like the DSU-33 D/B variant is specifically intended for JDAM.

I don’t understand the deals and I’m not sure the terms are even public, but they apparently negotiated something like first purchase rights or a guaranteed price on up to 40% of the wafers to be produced. This of course caused every other big RAM customer to panic buy all at once as soon as it was announced.
