What is Rocco’s Basilisk and how did Elon Musk find a girl friend with it?

One day in 2018, Elon Musk woke up, went to twitter and wanted to tweet a joke that came to his mind. It was a weird AI joke about an otherwise good idea that tortures you for not bringing it to fruition. Follow me on medium.com/@davepartner Just before he tweeted it, he found out that another lady has already twitted the same joke.

It turns out that the lady that twitted it is a musician, her name is Grimes, a Canadian musician. He reached out to her, they started dating and now they have a child together called X Æ A-Xii. The name of the good idea that turns evil on you if you don’t implement it is called Roco’s Basilisk. Now, there is a conspiracy theory that Elon Musk’s fans like to believe, they believe that X Æ A-Xii is actually Roco’s Basilisk, the ultimate AI that can read human minds and has all power to punish humans, or at least someone key to bringing Roco’s Basilisk to fruition, and Elon and Grime have played on the safe path by conceiving a tweet about it giving birth to it. Roco’s Basilik will no longer punish them.

More about Roco’s Basilisk, the idea was first brought up by a user on an internet forum in 2010. There is a caveat, and that is that the the idea can’t start torturing the original thinker until the idea itself comes into fruition.

More specifically, Roco hypothesized that if a super powerful AI came into existence, it will start giving preferential treatment to those humans who worked to bring it into existence, and of course start punishing those who could but didn’t.

Imagine a typical politician that comes to power, they might priority punishing those who could have helped them come to power but didn’t. Many AI experts who argued against Roco’s Basilisk put up the point that once the AI has come into fruition and dominated the world, it would be a waste of resources for it to start fishing out those who thought about it and punishing them.

Therefore, such an AI won’t pursue such a course. The moment people started debating about it, the admin of the forum came an deleted and banned all mentions of the topic for 5 years on the grounds that the thoughts of it alone is already torturing a lot of people and that the topic was a dangerous one.

How To Market Elon Musk

He is Relevant

Remember Elon Musk memes? Of course you do. This is how you build relevance, especially with youth. He uses Twitter and tweets every day, one of the richest men in the world is literally reposting memes, how can’t you relate or like him?

Younger people’s attention is important to capture right now because in a few years they will be able to give you money. They are the people who will buy Tesla cars just because they remember their childhood idol. As Gary Vee said, people who are in their 40s right now are still influenced by pop culture in the 80s and 90s especially in fashion.

Strong statements are also the thing that defines Elon from the rest. He can announce anything, anytime on Twitter, and he doesn't care if his company’s stock market shares will drop. This is what people like in him. He also admits his mistakes, he is human.

Moreover, there’s The Boring Company, which is basically made just for fun, they sell some useless stuff like “not a flamethrower”, but it’s still sold out in a few hours.

Requiescant all the zumbis — God Nzambi of the Gubernatorial Chivalry of the Grand Seal has pushed the Excrementitious Bottle through the rays of His Own Grandness. Canty — canty be the zumbis. Let them wiggle — wiggy zumbis.

The Cavaliers are impressed. So much so that none of them hears the phone. Which is a NIMPh — Nuclear Intercontinental Missile Phone — a phone whose nucleus of sound grows if the ringing passes unnoticed. ‘Someone please catch that’ saith Nzambi. ‘Prithee, Lord, doubt not that’ says Flight Lieutenant Bill–Hook Gates of the Shitty as he sloppily gets the hand telephone set, whilst nipping up his pridefully niping glasses. ‘Oho’ he tear-jerkedly ejaculates. ‘The NIMPh voice has just murmured that ELON MUSH HAS BEEN ABDUCTED BY ONE OF OUR RED DINOS FROM MARS.’

E. Mush’s spathe of vitaminic water had been spiked with a Lycioplesium martianum causing him to err and mendicate by holding out his beloved trilby. After much roving and vacillating, he collapsed in the noughties Buchclub marquee at the All Gods College, redbrick uni since the invention of Mars and the other delusions.

Field Marshal Hire Brigade Matriculation Managing Crofter Mark Klutzberg saw that the soggy bloke’s trilby was brimming with Martian chop marked dollars. Thus, in spite of recognisance being seriously impeded by the knackered dermal aspect and bled white face both of which due to the extravagant dosage of L. martianum, M. Klutzberg gladly avoided the ascertainment of the parentage via Dental Nodule Analysis (DNA), and could unequivocally identify the man as being — Elon Mush.
The Case For Superintelligence By 2030
By: Frederik Bussler
Tags: AI, Artificial Intelligence, Innovation, Technology, Elon Musk

Thousands of world-class researchers are racing towards Artificial General Intelligence. As of writing (and according to LinkedIn), that includes around 50 employees at SingularityNET, 160 employees at OpenAI, 550 employees at Facebook AI, and nearly 1,000 employees at Deepmind.

Smaller initiatives include AGI Innovations, Apprente, Kimera Systems, New Sapience, Numenta, and many others. Search for “artificial general intelligence” on Google Scholar, and you’ll find over 10,000 papers. In addition, OpenAI’s GPT-3 Slack channel currently has around 15,000 members with beta access.

Moreover, thousands of businesses are building tens of thousands of models using AutoML tools like Obviously.AI — which are only getting better and better.

In short, many leading minds are tackling the problem of AGI, and humanity has made incredible progress in a short amount of time.

The (Pre) History of AGI

The history of AI goes back thousands of years, to mechanical automatons in 1000 BCE. In addition, the first programmable machines were made well over 1,000 years ago.

Thus, let’s focus in on one effort towards AGI: OpenAI.

GPT-n

In June 2018, OpenAI released the first iteration of GPT, achieving state-of-the-art performance in a variety of language tasks by pairing supervised learning with unsupervised pre-training. GPT was miniscule, as it was trained on just a few thousand books, with the power of an 8 GPU machine.

In February 2019, GPT-2 drastically scaled things up, with 10X the parameters and more than 10X the training data. In short, GPT-2 was a significantly better synthetic text generator, and was met with relatively viral acclaim.

In May 2020, GPT-3 changed the world of AI forever with incredibly lifelike, creative, practically indistinguishable-from-human text generation. GPT-3 didn’t just go viral in the AI industry, but became a global sensation.

In a span of just two years, OpenAI made insane, mind-blowing advancements towards artificial general intelligence.

Neuralink

Along a similar timeframe, Neuralink made incredible advancements towards a seamless, non-invasive, brain-computer interface that will ultimately fix innumerable mental and physical ailments (like paraplegia, extreme pain, anxiety, and depression), besides connecting us with AI.

Before summer 2019, the status quo in brain-computer interfaces was the Utah Array, a clunky, dangerous, invasive device with middling capabilities. Then, Neuralink’s first demo shook the world of neuroscience. Just a year later, Neuralink released another earth-shattering update — a coin-sized brain-computer interface that’s completely invisible from the outside.

Bored Elon Tesla Motors SpaceX
All The Awful Things Space Travel Can Do To Your Brain [SpaceX]
By: Hesham Mashhour
Tags: Space, Health, Spacex, Space Travel, Elon Musk

JUST THIS WEEK SpaceX launched its latest rocket prototype, the SN8, 8 miles into the earth’s atmosphere – as part of the company’s (and Elon Musk’s) bid to get humans *safely* to Mars by 2026.

The launch was heralded as a huge success as the SN8 managed to fly further than any other prototype before it – coming this much closer to its 62-mile goal (widely considered to be the edge of “outer” space).

That is, before it fell right back to earth and exploded.

Definitely not a low-key landing.

SpaceX obviously need to make plenty of progress on the tech and engineering fronts; before they can make good on their promise of landing humans on Mars by 2026.

However, personally, I don’t expect that to be the biggest hurdle faced by Elon Musk and the engineers and scientists at SpaceX.

Far, FAR from it.

Eventually, people will need to reckon with the health hazards of engaging in long duration space missions; health hazards that have been well documented in astronauts and in animal models returning from space.

The current record holder for most consecutive days spent in space is Astronaut Scott Kelly who spent 340 consecutive days in space and spoke of the “devastating physical effects” he endured.

It’s important to note here that a roundtrip to Mars is expected to last around 560 days. – nearly 1.5x as long as Astronaut Scott Kelly’s 340-day long sentence on the International Space Station.

Long duration space flights have been shown to result in circulatory changes amounting to cardiovascular compromise upon return to earth, severe muscle atrophy and significant loss in bone density.

Among many other things.

But what about your brain? What damage can space travel do to your mind?
Elon Musk did it again: Dogecoin soared 36% after his new tweet
Tags: Dogecoin Price, Cryptocurrency Investment, Dogecoin, Elon Musk, Bitcoin Investment

The cryptocurrency Dogecoin (DOGE) was born from a meme in 2013, but now its trade it’s hardly a joke. This December 20, after a tweet published by Elon Musk (CEO of Tesla, and SpaceX), this doggy-money successfully soared almost 36% with a market cap of around $686.4 million.

And what was the thing that Elon Musk published, then? Well, it was just Dogecoin. Really, just that… to 41M followers, of course.

There’s not much more to say to the people who know his favorite cryptocurrency is, indeed, Dogecoin. This isn’t the first time he posts on Twitter about it, either. Previously, he even added to his bio the label “CEO of Dogecoin”, and now that has changed to “Former CEO of Dogecoin”.

This same year, in July, he tweeted about how the Dogecoin standard would top over the global financial system. The message came in the form of a meme. However, around the same dates, some tiktokers managed to increase the price of Dogecoin too by buying in mass, as a challenge to earn some money (like a pump-and-dump, yes).

The increase for DOGE was around 50%+ then, albeit temporary. And that was with the probable help (and purchases) of the thousands of subscribers from the TikTok influencers involved. On the other hand, Musk, with barely three words on Twitter, actually achieved a good percentage increase for this cryptocurrency in a very short period.

It’s was kind of temporal, though. DOGE suffered an 11% correction already but didn’t lose all the 36% gained. Now its price is around $0.0047 per token. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is around $22.800 and Ethereum has earned some track as well, reaching $610 per coin.

Elon Musk, Dogecoin, and Bitcoin

In another tweet the same day, Musk published a meme about how Bitcoin represents a temptation for traditional investors. Following the thread, Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy (one of the higher institutional investors for Bitcoin this year), suggested him to convert $100M in Tesla stocks from USD to BTC.

Apparently, Musk didn’t even know that such large transactions were possible with the cryptocurrency. Saylor affirmed it to him, additionally saying that he has bought $1.3B in BTC by himself.

Other known personalities inside the crypto-world joined the discussion in favor of Bitcoin and cryptos. They include Justin Sun (founder of Tron cryptocurrency), Tone Vays (trader and analyst), and Elizabeth Stark (CEO of Lightning Labs).

Still, it’s uncertain if all this it’s just a joke for Elon Musk. In case isn’t, would he choose to invest in Dogecoin or Bitcoin first? Well, we only can guess today.

Tags: Future, Pop Culture, Music, Elon Musk, Grimes

Claire Boucher (b. 1988) has been putting out music for over a decade. During that time, she’s built up a steady cult following, received critical acclaim, and been deemed Best New Music by Pitchfork multiple times.

Since 2018, she’s also dating Elon Musk.

In 2020 they had a child together — you know, the one with the name like a Star Wars spaceship, X Æ A-12.

In a world where celebrity and money is king, this prompted a massive surge of new interest into Claire Boucher: more commonly known as the artist Grimes.

Namely, who the hell “Grimes” is. Why is she dating Elon Musk? How do you pronounce that baby name? What?

I hope you gain from this story:

Who Grimes is, and why she’s a formidable artist to watch.

Geater understanding of how she and Elon Musk are (very) compatible.

A fun introduction to a musician you may have heard of, but don’t really know yet!

For Grimes fans: some collected “lore” you may have missed.

Note: Artist-formerly-known-as moment here. For the last two years, Grimes has gone under the moniker c, not Claire, in her personal life. As such, she’ll be referred to as Grimes or c for the rest of the article.
The Six Productivity Hacks Elon Musk Sent To His Staff
By: Malky Mcewan
Tags: Funny, Productivity, Business, Humor, Elon Musk

#1. Leave a meeting if you are not contributing.

Walk out of a meeting or hang up the phone the moment you realise you are not contributing. If you are not adding value — get the hell out of there. It is not rude to leave, it is rude to waste other people’s time.

I once got up to walk out of a meeting — Chief Inspector Chumley wasn’t pleased:

“Wait,” said Chumley, “one more thing. What if we could get the horsey section to attend the town fair too?” “If you mean the mounted police, that is what they are for,” I replied. “See if they can supply two horses and riders. That should do it.”

I toddled off. Later, I contacted the mounted section, they couldn’t have been more helpful; they’d supply two horses and two riders, no problem. Town fairs were just the thing they were good at.

The next day I sat in on the hindsight meeting, and at the end, Chief Inspector Chumley asked,

“How did you get on with the horsey section?” “The mounted division is more than happy to assist. They put the event in their diary and will send two horses and riders for high viz patrols through the town.”

It was in mid-sentence the little mischievous imp that lives in my brain had some fun.

“The only thing is, Chief Inspector, they require a sweeper supplied by our division.” “A sweeper?” “Yes. Someone to follow the horses with a brush and shovel to pick up the horse manure. They can’t supply one on that day.” “You are kidding!” “I know it is an imposition, but according to them, they can’t do it for us unless we supply a sweeper. Too many complaints from the public if they don’t.” “Do you have someone in mind?” “No, sir. Everyone has a job. I could ask the resource management unit to see if they can get someone.” “Good, we won’t get if we don’t ask.”

The next morning, at the end of the hindsight meeting Chumley asked,

“How did you get on with arranging the sweeper?” “Ah! We have a problem. Resource management say they can’t get anyone for that. It is not the best of jobs, and nobody will do it.” “What are we going to do?” “Well, we could offer it to someone as an overtime shift, sir.” “Well, just do that. I suppose they deserve the overtime pay for such a job.”

The following morning it was the first thing he asked,

“Did you get a sweeper for the horsey section?”

“It is against the overtime policy, sir; Resource Management has strict guidelines about what they can ask the cops to do on overtime and sweeping up horse dung all day doesn’t fall into that category.” “Oh, for God’s sake! That is unbelievable. You know what I’ll bloody well go down there and do it myself!”

I stood up and made my way to the door, trying not to laugh.

How much does it cost to send 1kg to lower earth orbit?
By: Gonzalo Espinoza Graham
Tags: Rockets, Space, Spacex, Technology, Elon Musk

Since the start of the space race in the 60’s, the price of reaching lower earth orbit (LEO) has been in the $10,000 to $100,000 per kg range. With the notable exception of the Saturn V (the rocket that took us to the moon) nearing $5,000/kg.

Then SpaceX came to town, and since, the price has been plummeting: The Falcon 9 delivers to LEO for $2800/kg, Falcon Heavy for $1400/kg, and Starship with a projected $50/kg. This is the story of SpaceX’s accomplishments.
Why Elon Musk is closing all Tesla car dealerships.

If you haven’t been reading the news lately, I’ll put you in context:

Tesla is planning to close all its car dealerships and now is choosing direct online sales as the only way someone can buy one of their Tesla models. The first car company in history to do so. A very risky strategy, since you will not be able to find physical Tesla dealers, maybe a “showroom”, but nothing more.

But wait, this is where it gets interesting, all types of operations will migrate to the internet, and with that, in addition to being able to pay less taxes, they will be able to “let go” of many employees who previously worked in the company, there will be many, but many layoffs… like i said a really cruel strategy, especially with the thousands of ex employees.

Now, everything is going to be optimized, so they will not need physical dealers, since there are no dealers, they will not need vendors nor will they have to pay the expenses they incur. We are talking about serious “cuts” in personnel and expenses.

In addition to being a fairly rigorous strategy, it is still ingenious and innovative (I know ex-Tesla employees won’t think alike but it's true) and it takes advantage of a crisis that forces us to stay in our homes and avoid contact with the outside world to make the transition.

But what if I need to bring my Tesla in for a checkup?

(Photo courtesy of Tesla.com)

Well, the company has thought of everything, now you can request a specialist technician through the brand’s official app or if you want you can take him to one of the new Tesla workshops that will open in the near future since its clientele is growing rapidly, and although they would love it, at the moment it is impossible to fix an engine via online.
A Visionary Project in an Innovative Region

A Visionary Project in an Innovative Region

Elon Musk — the name says it all. This visionary businessman is known across the world for his spectacular ideas. His latest project is to make high-speed satellite Internet available around the world. He’s counting on Hessen to make this happen, and has established the German HQ for Starlink in Frankfurt am Main.

The Starlink project is part of Musk’s SpaceX Group. Roughly 900 satellites have already been launched into space as part of the venture — and several thousand more are set to follow.

The aim is for the satellites to relay the signals to one another and then pass them on to the end users. The company has been in the test phase in the USA for several weeks. Now it’s Germany’s turn — and the work will be managed from Frankfurt.

“We’ll be starting in Germany before the end of the year if everything goes according to plan,” said Starlink manager Hans Königsmann in an interview with German news magazine Wirtschaftswoche. Starlink has already registered with Germany’s Federal Network Agency as a telecommunications provider and is waiting for final approval, he added. And two ground stations are already being constructed to communicate with the satellites. Königsmann also underlined that Germany is an ideal market.

Frankfurt’s Lord Mayor Peter Feldmann welcomed the project. Writing on Twitter, he said that it demonstrates “the Rhine-Main area’s international importance,” adding: “And what is good for one city in this innovative region benefits them all.”

There is no need to search the night sky to see Starlink’s satellites. One look at www.findstarlink.com is enough to follow the route of the satellites. Those who prefer to see the light points live can enter their whereabouts and see when they are passing over their own home.© www.findstarlink.com, 3.12.2020

Musk makes his billions off the backs of taxpayers. He inherited massive wealth, and now US citizens have funded him into his billions. And if he is good at what he does, why are Teslas bursting into flames? He could end homelessness with his pocket change and pay medical bills for the poor with what’s left over. But I guess he’d rather harass people online.

And that Mars thing? What the hell? I guess he’d rather not fix Earth with the trillions he needs to get humans living on Mars.
When something is important — Ignyte
Tags: Success, Spacex, Motivational, Elon Musk, Motivational Art

When something is important, you must hang on to it for dear life. It’s a bad feeling when we let something slip away from us, creating a void in our hearts and minds. Instead of letting opportunities get away from us, we need to use our iron grips and keep those opportunities until we know they won’t go anywhere. There’s never been a better time than in this current generation of the internet. Thousands of options specifically made for different types of people. There’s never an excuse to sit at home and ask why we can’t be more like Elon Musk.

Elon Musk When Something Is Important — Ignyte

Whether it’s raining, snowing, or there’s a 400-lb Grizzly bear outside your window. You can do the work from inside by preparing and studying for the long journey ahead. There’s never an excuse to let the bad times in life stop you from living. Always be ready for anything and be willing to put in the work. The hardest part is staying focused, but you’ll understand that staying focused is what will separate you from the people who choose to stay on the sidelines.

The easiest question is often the hardest to answer. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Most of us don’t have an answer. We never know the answer to that question. You can’t control what happens 10 years from now because life will change. However, you can prepare for what you want to accomplish and give it your best shot. Setting up for your future and making adjustments as things change will guarantee your happiness in the end.

Elon Musk didn’t wake up being a celebrity. He worked hard to get there. He saw the good times and the bad times and kept on going. That is what life is all about. Once we figure out what’s best for ourselves, it gets a whole lot easier.

As a kid, I could remember always asking myself,

“Where does space end?”

I imagined a white wall at the end of this…

“And what is on the other side of that?” my thoughts wondered.

These are the words I remember asking myself as a child.

Have you ever wondered?

I’d like to think I am not the only one.

Every child should wonder.

I still think of these questions.

I wonder if you still think of these questions as the years pass or did you get lost in your everyday life?

Elon Musk’s Early Years Tell a Convincing Story of How Adversity Can Breed Greatness
By: Zachary Minott
Tags: Startup, Self Improvement, Entrepreneurship, Business, Elon Musk

Lesson 3: People will doubt you. People close to you will hold you back. Don’t let that stop you. Ever

On top of Elon initially receiving push-back and doubt from his parents he also was constantly attacked by reporters and laughed at by investors in the early stages of Tesla and SpaceX.

Just like he didn’t listen to his parents when they told him not to go to Silicon Valley, he didn’t listen to the harrowing comments thrown his why by all the people that were saying his ideas would amount to nothing.

No one believed in him more than himself. For the first time, he saw it possible to achieve the future and vision that he dreamed of since he was a kid and wouldn’t allow anyone to tell him not to pursue such things otherwise. Paypal and Zip2 were merely stepping stones for him to get where he wanted. He knew these ideas were ridiculous, but so long as he knew commercialized space travel and electric vehicles were a possible reality for the future, he had to pursue them simply because he believed in that reality.

Don’t ever allow anyone to tell you that your ideas are ridiculous. If you have a vision for the future and have an actionable solution that you can provide and achieve given the possibility of that vision, then pursue it relentlessly.

Don’t give in to other people’s biases and perceptions solely because they disagree with your ideas or don’t see the value that you see. You have the power and autonomy to make those decisions yourself and actionably achieve them.
How does Elon Musk think? — First Principle and other Mental Models!

Elonism 🚀

Big News: Elon Musk aka real Ironman has overtaken Bill Gates to become the world’s second-richest person.

Meanwhile Jeff Bezos:

Just to get a gist of his curiosity and determination -

This was the elevator pitch of Elon Musk in 2001 when he wanted to learn about rockets and space technology.

We all are aware of his success story through Social Media, YouTube, and many other sources. But, I have always wondered “How he thinks and make difficult decisions?” and that thought led me to this story.

During a one-on-one interview with TED Curator, Chris Anderson, Musk revealed how he thinks and take decisions. He uses a mental model — “First Principles.”

Musk: Well, I do think there’s a good framework for thinking. It is physics. You know, the sort of first principles reasoning. Generally, I think there are — what I mean by that is, boil things down to their fundamental truths and reason up from there, as opposed to reasoning by analogy. Through most of our life, we get through life by reasoning by analogy, which essentially means copying what other people do with slight variations.

In simple terms, the first principle of thinking is questioning every assumption you think you know about the given problem or event. The idea is to break down complicated problems into basic elements and then creating new knowledge and solution from the scratch. It is easy to read and understand but hard to train your mind to use this mental model while solving problems.

Elon Musk broke down the problem — Space Rockets. He challenged each assumption and the pre-conceived notion that emerged in the process. He tried to question assumptions like — rockets cost a lot of money, you cannot make them lighter, you cannot have boosters that come back. And came up with cheaper parts, a lighter body, and reusable boosters.

He combined the new parts to make something never imagined before and created Falcon Heavy. Here is the video of Elon Musk explaining the “First Principle” mental model and how he put it into practice. Absolute Gold!

In summary — Break it down to its fundamentals and combine it with completely new things or combine old elements in such a way that has never been done before.

So, how to put it into practice?

Socratic Questioning: To put the first principle in practice, use the Socratic questioning playbook -

Telsa CEO Elon Musk is now the second richest man in the world when he added $97 to his net worth in just a day according to Bloomberg Billionaire Index, positioning him to the second position of the world richest person while Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos remains the richest man in the world. Elon Musk's net worth is now $147 billion while Jeff Bezo’s net worth is $185 billion and Bill Gate’s net worth is $129 billion.

Elon Musk’s net worth has skyrocketed this year which has allowed him to past fellow billionaires and led him to the second position.

Jeff Bezos reach 100 billion Dollars in 20 years while Elon Musk added 100 billion Dollars to his net worth in just 11 years.

Who Is Elon Musk?

Elon Musk is a South African-born American entrepreneur and businessman. he is the founder of X.com (which later became PayPal), the founder CEO, CTO, and chief designer of SpaceX, CEO and product architect of Tesla, Inc. founder of The Boring Company, co-founder of Neuralink, and OpenAI.

Musk became a multimillionaire in his late 20’s when he sold his company to a decision of Compaq Computers.

The 49-year old billionaire’s wealth has risen over $90B over the course of 2020 according to the guardian. Elon Musk's net worth has skyrocketed this year, allowing him to exceed so many other billionaires behind including LVMH’s Bernard Arnault, Bill Gate, Mark Zuckerberg with the help of the growing strength in his Telsa and SpaceX. Both Jeff Bezos and Elon musk have seen a great increase in their business despite the pandemic outbreak. Musk claims in one of his interviews that it was given a chance to either die on Mars or earth he is going to choose to die on Mars.

Crash and Learn: 8 Lessons From The Latest SpaceX Explosion
By: Thomas Milton

You don’t get many better illustrations of an idea than what SpaceX did today.

in most people’s minds, ‘crash and burn’ equates to failure. What happened to the SpaceX SN8 rocket is better described as ‘crash and learn’ or how to embrace problems in a proactive process of improvement.

SpaceX sent a rocket into low orbit and then it returned, as their rockets usually do so well. If you only breeze past the footage on Twitter or your news website of choice, you’ll see the spectacular way it ended: in a fireball.

I fell for it. I clicked. Without anything more than a fiery gif to go on, it looked like a disaster. Footage of rockets blowing rarely fails to grab attention.

So how could a spacecraft exploding while trying to land be anything other than a bad ending?

Elon Musk did a good job of managing expectations before the test flight. He was only expecting a one-third chance of success.

He did an even better job of managing reactions afterwards:

The subtext (my words, not Elon’s):

“The rocket exploded and, you know, whatever. It was a valuable exercise. We got what we needed. Don’t be fooled by the fireball on the launchpad. Where you saw flames, we saw data which will be used to fuel future successes.”

Reality check

Now, I don’t know if that was just spin to downplay a public failure and contain the fallout among investors and others, but it doesn’t look like it. Other authoritative sources were enthusiastic about the results:

Nor do I know with certainty that it was all just part of the process, and what they learned carries forward the development of the SN8 prototype.

That’s not the point of this article.

The flaming conclusion to the test and Musk’s response provides a crystal clear example of the concept of ‘crash and learn.’ Failure is just another data point.

The immediate lessons here are:

Success is not a linear process Learning is not possible without mistakes Problems are a productive source of information Tests are just a test — practise, experiment, try stuff with low stakes Measuring performance starts with defining what you need to learn Welcome information that proves your assumptions wrong Update your beliefs when you get new evidence Success is in the eye of the beholder

How can you apply these in your work and life?

Here’s why SpaceX’s SN8 Produced that Green Flame & Crashed

Here’s why SpaceX’s SN8 Produced that Green Flame & Crashed

I was honestly just trying to figure out why SN8 produced that bright green flame.

Turns out it’s the same reason it crashed.

In a tweet, Elon Musk explained:

“…Fuel header tank pressure was low during landing burn, causing touchdown velocity to be high & RUD, but we got all the data we needed!! Congrats SpaceX team hell yeah!!”

“RUD” is an acronym for Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly.

The Raptor engine didn’t exactly fail, but due to insufficient fuel pressure, the engines became fuel starved and consequently produced inadequate thrust to maintain the necessary rate of deceleration for a safe landing.

At first, it appeared that the engine may have shut down and was being restarted with TEA-TEB (Triethylaluminum + Triethylboron), a mixture used to ignite liquid oxygen engines and this might explain the bright green flames.

However, that seems to not be the case since SN8 used spark/torch igniters to ignite it’s fuel.

So, what caused the green flame?

It seems there was “engine-rich combustion” which is my new favorite term if I can remember it when I need it!

Effectively, the low fuel header tank pressure caused the fuel/O2 mixture to become lean, generating much more heat and consequently, certain alloys in the engine internals began to break down and burn. Presumably some exotic, high-temp alloys. Hence: “Engine-rich”.

When this happens, the copper which lines the nozzles and/or “engine bell” begins to burn, as well, producing a green flame!
How Elon musk changed my thought process.

Tags: Elon Musk Motivation, Spacex, Elon Musk, Elon Musk Story

I am familiar with lots of entrepreneurs worldwide, but there is only one revolutionary entrepreneur who changed my thought process.

Elon musk, the name is enough. He is the person who defines science and technology from zero.

He is an Engineer, software developer, Rocket engineer, etc.

Oh man, how one person can do such things in one life.

Elon thinks like a pro. One important thing I like about him that he is a problem solver. He never stuck with problems; he always knows there is a solution.

After twice time failure of Space -X, he not stopped. He tried, then he gains success, the first man in history, created a reusable rocket.

And guess, what is the amazing part of this?

He has not taken formal education in rocket science, but his attitude that he knows that he has an idea he closed the room started learning about Rocket from zero. Ended with plenty of books and articles on the internet.

Now New Elon musk is ready.

Space: X is one of the great inventions of him.

One trait I admire his lot that he never believes formal education. He focussed on the knowledge that can be practically applicable or not.

I thought that when he gets the idea of Space -X, No one supporting him, but he never laid down.

He moved to Russia for his Space -x, but ultimately he got permission from Nasa, then the game begins.

The first time,-Launch fail, Second time-launch fail, third time-success.

He always learns from his mistakes. Then he grows.

Man, his thought process is amazing.

If I get the chance to meet him, I would definitely ask him how he thinks.

Tesla motors-

Musk usually addresses the whole planet with his invention. Looking at greenhouse gas growth and global warming, he decided to create electric energy 4 tire vehicles to solve the whole world problem.

Earlier, this vehicle cost is so huge that he got his car at an affordable price after continuous huge research and development.

Hyperloop project-

Hyperloop is basically a new mode of transportation between two places. It is the new form of transportation invented by musk.

Musk claimed that it is much safer than planes and trains. It can trigger up to 700 mph.

He uses physics law while creating a hyperloop. He diminished friction to zero and created a vacuum in the hyperloop.

Again his thought process is great. He never thinks with a conservative mindset; he always thinks out of the box.

Man, he is incredible.

I admire him, and I write this post only to show my gratitude toward him. I wish that I can do some kinds of stuff like him.
SpaceX Starship SN8 explodes on landing after test flight.(Video)

“Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.” Elon Musk.

Launch:

Once again SpaceX is making history. After an aborted flight 1 second before the launch on Tuesday, SpaceX did it. The test flight had been intended to reach an altitude of 41,000 feet (12,500 metres), propelled by three of SpaceX’s newly developed Raptor engines for the first time. The launch was very smooth and no problems were identified. However, landing was a bit different!

Landing:

Not everything did go as planned… Indeed, Starship prototype has exploded while attempting to land after its test launch from the company’s rocket facility in Boca Chica, Texas. Live video of Wednesday’s test showed the self-guided rocket landing at speed following a controlled descent before disappearing in a ball of flame.(Video at the end of this article).

Was the whole flight a failure?

Not at all!

As Elon Musk said, SpaceX had obtained “all the data they needed” from the test and hailed the rocket’s ascent phase a success. He even added that the landing had failed because the rocket’s “fuel header tank pressure was low” during descent.

Watch it blow !
12/08/2020 — The Market Is High. The market is high. Anyone with the…

The market is high. Anyone with the ability to count can plainly see it flying high. It’s new all-time highs (S&P 500 and Nasdaq) spit in the face of a global pandemic, mass unemployment, economic uncertainty, and an upcoming first quarter of 2021 that will likely see a surge in lockdowns. The lockdowns will lead to crumbling businesses, which will lead to joblessness, evictions, bad haircuts, and general societal malaise.

I know that Wall Street couldn’t care less about death, disease, and American decline, but I believe that at some point overall economic withdrawal should begin to weigh on the lofty numbers that the stock market has been boasting of late. Not everyone lives their lives on Zoom, works for a tech company, or orders their meals from Chateau Amazon. And when these newly jobless, homeless, and despondent people stop participating in all economic systems not related to drugs, gambling, or pornography, one might assume that would finally give the market pause.

It wont, because the market is also high in the sense that it is intoxicated. Like an Elon Musk on a Joe Rogan podcast, it has been smoking so much Fed that it can’t see straight. Like the drunkard who hasn’t realized that he’s bleeding profusely, or the heroin addict that is about to keel over, Wall Street has quaffed so much cheap Fed that it can’t stop itself from blindly falling up. With no real interest rate, where else can money go but into the market? If you ask me, I think it’s crazy.

But don’t ask me, my performance over the last two weeks has been anything but high. Instead, please ask yourself these two questions:

Heading into 2021 and a long-tailed pandemic hangover, other than a near-zero interest rate policy, what would convince average Americans that a market at all-time highs is a good place for their hard-earned cash or savings?

And…

If this Quantitative Easing continues to show ever diminishing effects on the “main street” economy — outside of the narrow scope of the stock market — should we be concerned that the only reason that the Fed continues this practice is not to prime the economic pump, but to stave off the catastrophe of managing our burgeoning debt at higher interest rates?
