Some guy from AMC calling the pentagon and going "uhhh so we were experimenting with improved barrel materials and we kinda, accidentally, made the holy grail of near future matsci"

thinking about DVTL's tech, four core breakthroughs ig are covetics & nanocomposite steel matsci, N8 explosives, and cost-per-transistor once again dropping because of ~handwaves graphene~

also the "Block V" HAVE CAT upgrade program for the F-35s are basically new aircraft cus they get to leverage new covetics matsci and replacing fasterners with fancy pants adhesives

Yeah, I remember a matsci prof going on about "aluminum is functionally infinite."

I'm going to end up getting into matsci and metallurgy if only so I can make my own tape heads and tape

(My first job with Master’s Degree in MatSci was working an alternating shift, with a four month cycle; so before I switched roles that worked out to about a year on a 12-hour night shift)

I think there is the potential to break with ammo path dependency once ETC starts hitting the force at the end of the 2020s/early 2030s because 5th Industrial Revolution matsci can solve the barrel wear/pressure issues

F-35E Cougar II (F-35B) and F-35F Panther II (F-35C)
Lightning Service Life Refresh, otherwise known as HAVE CAT. These F-35s have effectively been redesigned from the studs up to accommodate new industrial and matsci advances post First Sino, basis for the Hotel Hornet and King Raptor program.

Seconded by a matsci student. How can we begin to ask questions if we don’t know from what perspective we observe? It endlessly frustrates me how little people know or care about the relationship between colonization and scientific institutions

Let's address the AI productivity hype with actual empirical estimates:
Microsoft estimates around 15%
AMD around 25% (within 5 years)
MatSci MIT study ~ 15% ⬆️ in patents.
Contrast to productivity boost due to electrification of US manufacturing: >400x or 40000% higher.

Basically, even in the 21st century, most materials science is still just brute-force empirical testing (a fancy term for "trial and error") - the models just tell us what to try first, lol
And Elon thinks Grok is making new matsci discoveries by... contemplating really hard, I guess

I don’t know much about MatSci but I know enough about Musk to think using SS was his call, over the objections of actual engineers, who were tasked by Musk to do the impossible.

Yeah this is 100% how matsci works, to the point it's common to prepare a dozen or so variations on the material simultaneously and test in batches because you expect most new materials to fail no matter what the models say
