OP here. Thanks SyzygyRhythm

OP here.

man who quotes big number - often made a fool

enderfusion··on Economics of Orbital vs. Terrestrial Data Centers
The radiation effects on the silicon solar cells is often underestimated, it's not just the GPUs!
enderfusion··on Economics of Orbital vs. Terrestrial Data Centers
OP here. Happy to answer any questions, appreciate the boost.
enderfusion··on Built a first-principles interactive model for space data center economics
I’m trying to bring some quantitative structure to a conversation that’s been mostly big-number vibes.
enderfusion··on My camera system capturing hypersonic plasma of reentry [video]
OP here. This was recorded on the camera system I helped design and build. It shows the ionized atmosphere during a Mach25 reentry from low earth orbit. I'm still blown away by how well it worked. There is a protective window that shields the sensor from the 10,000°C conditions just an inch away. Landing happened at Koonibba Test Range in South Australia
enderfusion··on Mach25 hypersonic reentry of my spacecraft
OP here. Caught an image of the spacecraft reentering over Australia last night.

I wanted to see if I could write a 1v1 maze runner game without typing a single complete line of code. Cursor+Clause+Redis+Auth0+Python+Flask+GCP

Yeah, surprised me too. There are different categories inside of Bluetooth, classic and low energy. LE has a low rate, no more than 100hz.

Good to know, I'm new here!

I'm using Dial's PC drivers :)

Tempting. never_look_back.bin firmware?
enderfusion··on Doomscroller.xyz
That looks way better for PC, didn't know that existed.

Off the shelf radio module, ain't nobody got time for certs.

Same story with original ipod. Hugely underrated interface.

You're meant to hate it. It's dumb. I'm actively making the world a worse place by the invention of it.

International turned on

The whole thing cost me a few hundred bucks to put together.

And end up like Humane? No thanks! It's at optimal shittiness levels currently.

I thought that when I started this thing. Turns out, every device implements slightly different flavors of USB-HID in their drivers. It's a complete shitshow under the hood. I'm trying to get iOS working, but it's so opaque compared to Android. I have achieved limited functionality with iOS, but it's not the buttery smooth action I can get on PC or Android.

I looked at my site analytics and realized this is where it was coming from :-o

I should turn on international shipment, but Stripe doesn't support auto calculate rates. CNC machined from aluminum. USB C. I did test it with powerpoint just now, works!

enderfusion··on Varda Capsule Reentry – Five Minutes from LEO to Earth [video]
Went from founding to shipped flight hardware in 2 years with 45 people. I think the key was the really good coffee machines.

Maybe 17000mph was a bit sloppy of a title on my part. It was a weird orbit, with the burns we were doing.
enderfusion··on Varda Capsule Reentry – Five Minutes from LEO to Earth [video]
Nope, all audio was straight from the camera, no gain adjustment or muting. Something odd happened with the diaphragm in the mic I think.

Yeah sorry, grabbed the wrong link initially.

I don't really have a job description, I just solve problems.
enderfusion··on Varda Capsule Reentry – Five Minutes from LEO to Earth [video]
Heavily modified. But it's the Gopro sensor and board.
enderfusion··on Varda Capsule Reentry – Five Minutes from LEO to Earth [video]
Maaaaaaybe. But we did pull like 20g+ on descent, so that's a bit problematic
