It's called analysis. The opposite move will be synthesis. 🙂

You don't know what you're capable of yet, either. Keep pushing. 🙂

Things don’t become boring because you’ve exhausted them, but because you haven’t yet figured out how to dig deeper.

Noble behavior fills life with meaning like nothing else.

When life becomes deeper with age, so do our preferences.

There are two kinds of motivation: 1. Motivation of the idea. 2. Motivation of the process. The first gives you the initial fuel to start and move fast, but it burns out quickly. The second lets you keep moving forever. If you have motivation of the process, you’ll succeed even without motivation of the idea. You’ll love doing it – and that’s why you’ll be unstoppable. 🥇

Children of the future will not understand how we lived in a time when it wasn’t possible to create and invent cartoons by ourselves. 🖼️ Just like we now can hardly understand how people once lived without medicine. 🤔

Avoiding temptations that distract you from your goal and blur the concentration of your efforts is a highly underrated soft skill. 💪 Possibly even more important than the intensity of your efforts toward achieving that goal.

And also, poor people stay poor because they want an easy and streamlined way to get rich. 💰 It’s like wanting to grow an apple tree without nourishing it, and with a straight, single trunk without branches.

You might have all the necessary understanding to be successful. But still fail. Because understanding is not the same as acting on it. Action is defined by your habits. Align your habits with your understanding. Success will be yours.

If in the future 95% of cars are robotaxis, will their design even matter to people? 🏎️ Would you choose a robotaxi service based on the design of their cars if the ride cost is the same? Or would you not care at all?

Using that many drones at once apparently has not only entertainment purposes. 🎇🎆 This is testing military technologies for commanding and employing huge swarms of drones on the battlefield. You can shoot down 10 drones, 100, 1,000. But can you shoot down 100,000 or 1 million drones attacking a military base or an aircraft carrier? One countermeasure might require the technology to command huge swarms of interceptor drones. But who is testing that now? 🤔

In the future, some regions might start placing solar panels at high altitudes – on something like airships. Advantages: 1. No clouds; 2. Less dust; 3. More intense sunlight. Disadvantages: 1. Difficult maintenance; 2. High costs. But the advantages could outweigh the downsides.

🚀 With so many launches and landings of the same booster, SpaceX has surely gathered a massive amount of data on the aging of every component. That could have given them countless ideas on what and how to improve to increase reliability and reduce production and maintenance costs. This is one of those cases where you simply can’t get that kind of data if you launch a brand-new booster every time. Which means you can’t fully maximize efficiency across the entire vertical chain: 1. Development 2. Manufacturing 3. Launch preparation 4. Launch 5. Post-launch maintenance How can you draw conclusions from survivor bias when there are no survivors at all? Having this kind of data gives SpaceX a huge advantage. I’m sure this information directly influences the Starship program as well.

Looks like it’s time to replace all of reality with AI-generated content. 🖼️ But once we’re fully immersed in it, how will we find our way out of this maze back into real reality? Will new truth-seekers emerge, wandering through the corners of AI-generated reality? 🤔

💡 But this could create a problem. Because the appeal and reach of content will be determined by the normal distribution of intelligence among people. All content will cluster around the average intelligence level – that’s the category it will be created for the most. This approach will pessimimize deep and the most intellectually valuable content.

💻 Evaluating Mars’ atmosphere as if it were equal to Earth’s: If we assume that Mars has an atmosphere with the same pressure as Earth's: Total atmospheric mass ≈ 4×10¹⁸ kg. Mars would lose about 10 kg/s of atmosphere. That’s ≈ 0.0000000079% per year. Losses over 100 years: 0.0000000079% – practically zero. --- Let’s overestimate the losses: Assume a catastrophic scenario – 10⁴ kg/s (1,000 times the current rate). That gives 0.0000079% per year, or 0.00079% over 100 years. Even in this case, losses over 100 years are microscopic. --- If Mars suddenly received an Earth-like atmosphere, it would lose less than 0.001% over a million years.

Eventually, every large aircraft will have Starlink installed. 📡✈️ For reference: === As of 2023, there were 29,039 commercial aircraft in service worldwide. For all small airplanes (including non-commercial models), estimates reach around 350,000 worldwide. Based on public data, Starlink aviation hardware costs about $150,000 per aircraft to install, and the monthly unlimited service is about $10,000. === That means Starlink installed on all commercial aircraft would generate roughly $290.39 million per month for SpaceX, or about $3.48 billion per year.

To make Mars independently habitable, it would require an atmosphere close to Earth's. 🌎 Otherwise, any action will be more expensive, harder, and slower than on Earth. And without modern industries involving multiple countries in the supply chain, Mars cannot sustain the current technological level. It would fall – without Earth's support – to the late 20th century, and with a normal atmosphere, at least could continue from there.

If we didn’t know it was because of the Starship engines, we could think a small Sun was being born here. 🔥

It looks so roasted. 🚀🔥 As if it’s been through all the depths of space. 🌌
