They are saying it’s redundant, and therefore unnecessary.

Being bright or not has nothing to do with it. Both intelligent people and less-intelligent people have excellent reasons to hate Musk.

Regardless of that, Falcon 9 is exceptionally reliable.

What are you on about? Crew Dragon might be the most reliable ride to space ever.

All of SpaceX’s bullshit with Starship is completely separate from Dragon/Falcon9.

By that logic the only non-arbitrary dimension is defined by gravity, so the primary axis (X) should be up and down.

Math is not rigid like you are saying: 3D coordinates can be oriented in any direction because they are fundamentally arbitrary. A lot of people a damn lot smarter than you have damn good reasons for using different coordinate systems, and they are mathematically correct.

By your own logic there is no “up”, only x/y/z, so what’s your complaint?

There is NO mathematical or physical reason why XY should be the floor, that is your own bias.

Thank god, this is the one true coordinate system

Yeah the first one is a left handed coordinate system.

The enemy’s gate defines where down is.

Eh sort of? It’s all a matter of perspective. In Blender which uses a right hand system, when you view from the side, right is positive Y, up is positive Z, and towards the user is positive X.

But looking from above, positive X is right, positive Y is up, and positive Z is towards the camera. Obviously if you rotate the camera to be viewing from the negative side of the axis some directions get flipped.

Basically if you’re axis aligned, things work out the way you would expect.

Pushing Daisies?

Only in a top-down perspective. Most screens are vertically oriented though, meaning the reference 2D plane is left-right-up-down.

Actually…

Constitutionally, no. But when has the constitution ever stopped Trump?

Tensions rise? I think we call that aggression, not tension.

And honestly lightweight neural nets can make for some interesting enemy behavior as well. I’ve seen a couple games using that and wouldn’t be surprised if it caught on in the future.

Legally, it seems it does, at least in the US and EU. I assume China too.

Whether or not it should is a different argument, but copyright is a legal framework, not an ethical one.

Humans are primarily visual creatures, so we can detect the slop in AI images a LOT faster than we can in audio.

Human artists are going to have to get a lot weirder to out-innovate AI music, and I’m actually happy about that. Weird music is the best.

If they leave immediately in shame like they just did, then yeah, leave them alone. FFS you guys have no concept of diplomacy.

Generally unwise to escalate on stupidity. Don’t give the US any more reasons to double down on war.
