34/ I ENTIRELY disagree. There is effectively no distinction between consumer goods and capital goods. A "big TV" is the same as a big monitor that lets a CAD guy works 4x as effectively as he could 20 years ago.https://twitter.com/marcus_drusus/status/1345107654700621829 …

35/ A "mere phone" is a pocket supercomputer that replaces the user interface panel on any sort of robot or machine, allowing mechanics to diagnose cards, read tech manuals, etc. in the field.

36/ A 3-d printer for printing custom minis for your Pathfinder game is exactly the same thing as a rapid prototyping tool that lets mechanical engineers design and deploy a new product in 5 months, not 24.

ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs @MorlockP10/ "Well, I don't WANT to travel to space. And I don't WANT a self driving car. And I don't WANT cheap consumer crap." OK, again, that's not the topic.

41/ Would be curious to hear Matt say more on this, bc I think that tons of REAL engineering work takes place every dayhttps://twitter.com/mattparlmer/status/1345110620807569415 …

mattparlmer 🪐 @mattparlmerOn the contrary, I argue this *because* I believe in good engineering and know from direct experience across a number of different fields and indirect observation of many others that very little of it actually happens in practice. https://twitter.com/terronk/status/1345103977474445312 …Show this thread3 replies 0 retweets 3 likesShow this thread -

Don't really feel like engaging on this point if you're gonna make snide comments about my field

This was the exact opposite of snide! I wanted to explore what you see, and how you interpret it, and see how it differs from what I see. Maybe see if definitions are the issue, or something else. Sorry it came across as snide, it honestly was intended as an invite to dialog.

Replying to @MorlockP
Not sure how I'm supposed to react to the comment about "real" engineering, but I'll take your word for it. I see lots of different problems on the ground, but far and away the most common is problem is a culture of extreme risk aversion among engineers and scientists.

Replying to @mattparlmer @MorlockP
It's not just people being asked to follow arbitrary regulation - which is why we don't have an 80% fission electrical grid and are still stuck with 737s - it's a disease that goes all the way up the discovery stack to the grantwriting process at research labs.
