I'm only surprised it took this long for an exposure of backend data to the front end to be discovered in RSC

I just keep a tomahawk axe in my car. That works.

This is absurdly impressive. If you have any interest in doing some more flight software work in aerospace / space / missile systems, shoot me an email scott@orcrist.com

The DoD does plenty of things beyond putting boots on the ground. They’re the world’s largest employer. They have all the same boring problems that any employer has at gigantic scale.

Yep, pretty much.

llm-in-the-loop for whatever a 'warfighter' is is basically the opposite of how fighting wars should go.
ginkgotree · 6 months ago
why? it could help them asses threats, civilians / avoid collateral damage. Like any weapon or technology, it depends on its use. warfighter is the modern industry / academic term used for "soldier."

Does anyone have any idea what the DoD could possibly want from OpenAI? Less accurate/more sycophantic missiles?
ginkgotree · 6 months ago
Yeah, tons. SIGNT / HUMINT analysis. After action report summaries. war gaming to optimize deterrence. human machine teaming. LLM-in-the-loop for warfighters. rapid code gen in field deployments for units to spin up software solutions. The list is endless, imho.

That's a really cool idea.

I'm curious, why electric motors vs a solid rocket motor? Volatility? Control over thrust? Making it safe to throw without worrying about backblast?

ginkgotree · 7 months ago
All of the above. Thrust vectoring, throttleable, hand launchable. Yes, yes, and yes, and a few more covert reasons

This actually has some super cool field digital note taking applications, where one may be away from power for a long time and just needs a digital means of writing TXT files. Awesome work!!

Silicon Valley and all these VC funded apps have no soul or honesty. I left 5 years ago, and will never look back. Let them rot.
