Wow. I didn't know about this letter. It's very inspiring.

Exactly. People in this place. Sigh.

Aw. It didn't even do a "real" hop. The engines stayed on all the time.

For the first real hop see Xombie circa 2010.

Huh? Caltech/Stanford? These are two different tech scenes.

This is correct. Thanks for pointing it out. Even Daniel Kahneman admitted it.

Riiight

The us invented modern management in wwii - but it was perfected in japan after the war. Ships were built all over to old management processes but modern management made a big difference in cost, time, and quaity.

Have you not heard of the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905)? It’s quite famous with historic naval battles and modern battleships. But ok.

Japan had modern steel battleships in 1904. Dumdedum123 is talking about modern post-1930s shipBUILDING techniques involving prefab subassemblies.

I'm just going off the article. Did you read it?

Same things with statistical process management and quality control.

Exactly. I know him and like him. He is a genius programmer for sure BUT people forget that the last successful product that he released was Doom 3 over 20 years ago. Armadillo was a failure and Oculus went nowhere.

He's also admitted he doesn't have much of math chops, which you need if you want to make a dent in AI. (Although the same could have been said of 3D graphics when he did Wolfenstein and Doom, so perhaps he'll surprise us)

I wish him well TBH

Rage was released in 2011. His work at Meta produced highly optimized standalone VR. Whether you think it's successful or not, the tracking accuracy and latency is extremely competitive.

Who? I can't find the source, and it seems everybody knows about it.

EDIT: Oh, it's the book itself. But what is _their_ source?

Are you asking for Collins and Hansen’s sources?
