Apropos nothing... Everyone always talking about quantum computing and quantum information as the big second-generation* quantum-tech applications. (Someday I will get into what I think about quantum computing.) But there's a whole world of quantum sensing out there that's way more successful, starting with atomic clocks, which are already an established second-gen quantum technology.
Here's a recent result in quantum sensing:
* First-generation quantum tech is things that rely on the quantum nature of materials. The whole semi-conductor industry, and lasers, are the primary examples. Second-generation quantum tech is technology that relies on quantum control: the active building and control of quantum systems. By far the earliest example, and the most commercially advanced, is quantum clocks. But there are other types of quantum sensors on the market (mainly quantum magnetometers).
#quantum sensing#quantum technology#there are a couple secondary articles on this that are way flashier than this one that are much easier to stumble across#but they all link back to this and I assume this is the most accurate

I was referencing the things put forth by OP, in order:
Huge wiring harnesses simplified: Cybertruck Guy and Radmad are both wrong, for different reasons.
Current industry standards don't have separate wires for each individual switch or control, either. They group several switches, lights, etc. that are nearby together, run them into a microcontroller, and put that controller on a vehicle bus. Currently that's usually a CAN (redundant, fault-tolerant) or LIN (neither, but much simpler) bus. This drastically simplifies wiring harnesses.
The main thing Tesla has done is change the DC voltage for that bus from 12 V to 48 V nominal. Since power is voltage times current, and wire thickness is dependent on current, this cuts about half the copper mass out of the power lines in the harness. The other (data) lines were already using smaller wires. The industry has been flirting with a 48V bus for around two decades by now; Tesla just went and did it and dealt with the engineering problems when they popped up. And this is a rare case where "they're a bunch of Silicon Valley nerds" may have helped: datacenters have been using 48V DC for in-rack power delivery for decades, so they had more familiarity with it than Detroit.
They've also adopted single-pair Ethernet (1000base-T1) for the high-speed entertainment data links. This technology has been in the industry since late 2016. It's usually integrated directly onto the custom ICs in ECUs. I remember another thread like this with a tweet where someone was complaining about the fragility of RJ-45 plugs and how that's disqualifying for a vehicle, and he's right, but single-pair Ethernet does not use those jacks; it's integrated into wiring harnesses with everything else.
Astronauts laded on the moon with altitude markers hand etched on the window: That was a backup system dramatized by the Apollo 13 movie. They had an inertial navigation system, like aircraft do, as their primary navigation.
Oh, and it's attitude, not altitude. Very different concepts that folks should not mix up.
Can't get a rocket off the pad without blowing up: Neither could NASA their first few years. Meanwhile SpaceX had 98 successful orbital flights last year, and they can reuse their boosters (the record is 18 times). But that's way off topic.
Tesla Model Y broke: It's not news when non-Teslas lose power steering, apparently. And I've had cars that took many more than three appointments to fix. We can throw around anecdata all day.
Series wiring like Christmas lights: Come on, you've got no basis for that.
It's like the Titan sub: Sigh. Really?
Okay, now to the RDN link:
the vehicle’s angular design and stainless steel body could pose danger to other road users
Absolutely true. Also true of almost every luxury pickup truck on the market. One example:
I'm all for figuring out some kind of regulatory regime to rein this in. Or maybe a modification of liability rules and increased insurance coverage minimums.
“The big problem there is if they really make the skin of the vehicle very stiff by using thick stainless steel, then when people hit their heads on it, it’s going to cause more damage to them,”
True, but it's not that thick or stiff; the speaker was speculating. Other have pointed out that "we shot it with a Tommy gun" is a lousy test because the bullets are rather low velocity. If you watch the side impact crash test, you can see the side panels visibly flexing.
And right after that, an IIHS rep said, “IIHS hasn’t evaluated the Cybertruck. The discussions we’ve seen so far appear to be based on speculation. I would add that our experience with Tesla is that they aim for the highest safety ratings in IIHS tests. We have no reason to expect anything different with the Cybertruck.”
The biggest problem with Teslas, from insurance companies' perspectives, has been that airbag-deployed collisions tend to result in totaling the vehicle more often than in other cars. Occupant safety, on the other hand, seems to be better than average. We've seen people walk away from their Model 3s after they got T-boned by speeding pickups (60-ish MPH in a 30 zone). We know this from accident reconstruction and camera data.
There's a linked video in the article comparing the Tesla Cybertruck collision to a Dodge Ram 1500. There are several others like it on YouTube (I saw one that had six trucks in it, all synced up). They all have the same flaw: they're comparing different crash types. The Cybertruck is doing a full frontal crash, where you drive the vehicle into a solid, immovable wall, while the others are moderate overlap crashes, where the hood goes over the obstacle and only the left 1/3 of the vehicle is obstructed, so the engine can deflect to the sides instead of going into the firewall and then the passenger compartment. The Cybertruck, of course, does not have a large engine in that space; it's mostly cargo storage. And we can clearly see it crumpling and the front wheel moving outward instead of back into the passenger compartment, like practically all cars do now.
(Some folks like to point out how the rear wheel breaks away, too: this is expected because it's a steering wheel, since the Cybertruck has four-wheel steering, and uses the same suspension technology as the front, instead of connecting the rear wheels more directly to the rear axle like most vehicles. Not completely directly, though, like the Chevy Corvair's swing axles. In any case, kinetic energy breaking the rear wheels off like that is energy that isn't compromising the cabin.)
The article addresses the "lack" of crumple zones:
Samer Hamdar, a George Washington University auto safety professor, told Reuters that while a lack of crumple zones concerned him, there could be other factors that accounted for it. “There might be a possibility of shock-absorbent mechanism that will limit the fact that you have a limited crumple zone,” Hamdar said.
I'm not going to speculate about crumple zones beyond the above ("the cargo area collapses, taking some energy with it; we have to see if that's enough to call a crumple zone, but it's not nothing") until someone tears one down and documents it. But crumple zones aren't the only means of keeping kinetic energy out of the passengers.
The rest of the article goes back to concerns about pedestrian safety, which seem to be the main substantive concern, and is noted at the end of this video:
youtube
And again, pedestrian safety is an industry-wide problem. We need another Ralph Nader, but demonizing Tesla alone (god it's so easy, Elon is such an asshole) only gives cover to the rest of the industry. And none of the tweets in OP's post spoke of this.

Boeing’s Versatile Three-Engine 727 Aircraft
Manufactured from 1962 to 1984, the Boeing 727-100 and 727-200 were the aerospace giant’s best selling aircraft across their production run. The model arrived on the wings of the successful 707 and met evolving flight requirements for takeoffs and landings.
Boeing took into consideration the specific needs of three major US carriers. American Airlines requested a more efficient twin-engine model, while Eastern Air Lines wanted an aircraft with three engines. This reflected its frequent flights across the Caribbean and need to meet Extended-range Twin-engine Operations (ETOPS) mandates of being within an hour of the nearest airport at all times (should one engine fail).
Boeing ultimately settled on three engines, while working to meet a request by United Airlines for a smaller aircraft that would accommodate higher elevation airports such as its Denver Stapleton hub. Reflecting this imperative of making the aircraft adaptable to regional airports, Boeing also engineered the plane to have built-in air stairs, which extended from the fuselage belly and eliminated the need for portable stairs.
The aircraft also incorporated an auxiliary power unit (APU), which did away with the need for an airport-provided ground power unit (GPU), which is used for starting engines and maintaining air conditioning on the tarmac. It was also Boeing’s first jetliner to have flight controls that were totally hydraulic.
The initial Boeing 727-100 came off the assembly line in November 1962, and completed its maiden flight two months later. The model came into service with Eastern Air Lines in February 1964 and featured high-speed, low-altitude cruising capabilities. The tail-mounted tri-jet configuration had a high-lift system, driven by several flaps, that gave it shorter runway capacities.
In its first years, the Boeing 727 experienced a number of growing pains. Three crashes happened in quick succession in 1965, with investigators pinpointing the cause as pilot error. The pilots were unaware of how to operate the new 727 flap system, which provided extra lift when speeds were slow and also enabled a quicker descent. When oriented at 40 degrees, the flaps exerted drag that caused a too-rapid sink rate. Engineers at Boeing quickly moved to rectify the issue and the airline’s reputation was restored.
Cracks in the Boeing 727’s strong market position appeared a decade after its introduction with the Noise Control Act of 1972, which necessitated the installation of hush kits into existing aircraft. These sound dampeners reduced the extremely noisy three-engine setup and met stringent airport regulations.
A year later, the Middle Eastern oil embargo led to gas prices quadrupling. This placed a premium on twin-engine aircraft such as the 757, which were more fuel efficient. In addition, despite union opposition, next generation aircraft were more automated and no longer required flight engineers on board, as the 727 did. While Boeing announced that the 757 would completely replace the 727 as early as 1978, it was not until 1984 that the last airplane came off the assembly line.
Over the course of its lifespan, some 1,832 Boeing 727 units were sold, which were operated by over 100 airlines. The 727 finally gave way to next generation models such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320.

F-20 Tigershark: an F-5 with steroids
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 12/03/2023 - 22:46 in History, Military
The F-20 Tigershark was a high-level, elegant and robust jet fighter, created to enhance the F-5 model. Northrop Corporation developed it in the 1980s, making it remarkable with advanced avionics, state-of-the-art weapon systems and a powerful engine, reminiscent of a steroid F-5 jet fighter.
It was really an aviation wonder that crossed the line and raised the standards. However, despite being positioned as an important player in the global jet market, military customers did not accept it and the program had to be filed.
The F-20 Tigershark was an updated version of Northrop Corporation's F-5 Freedom Fighter, designed to be a light and affordable jet fighter that could be exported internationally. Northrop had plans to sell to countries such as Taiwan, South Korea and others who were looking for a modern fighter that would fit their budget.
One of the outstanding features of the F-20's design was its fly-by-wire digital control system, allowing exceptional handling and maneuverability. It also included a more robust engine than its predecessor, providing greater speed and better climbing capabilities. In addition, the F-20 incorporated some stealth features to reduce its radar cross-section and used materials that absorbed the radar.
Any buyers?
The F-20 Tigershark completed an extensive flight test program during development. In August 82, the first prototype flew from Edwards Air Force Base in California, reaching 20,000 feet and Mach 1.4 on its 35-minute maiden voyage. In the following months, the prototype underwent handling, performance and system tests. In November, it reached Mach 2.05 during a maximum speed attempt, in addition to discreet demonstrations of avionics, weaponry and stealth in flight.
youtube
In addition to the tests in the US, the F-20 also had demonstrations in countries such as South Korea and Switzerland to boost sales. High-speed performance, high-G curves, low-level flights and handling impressed potential buyers during these demonstrations.
Overshadowed by the competition
The F-20 Tigershark project faced a variety of challenges that eventually led to its cancellation. The intense competition in the global jet fighter market was a key factor, as the F-20 encountered strong competition from other popular models such as the F-16 and Mirage 2000. Many potential buyers have opted for these established projects, considered safer and more reliable.
Political pressure also contributed to the fall of the F-20. The U.S. government was concerned that the F-20 could reduce the price of the more expensive F-16, produced by General Dynamics, an American company. In addition, there were concerns about the sale of advanced military technology to certain countries, such as Taiwan, one of the main potential buyers of the F-20. This damaged Northrop's marketing efforts and led to limited sales.
Economic factors also played a role at the end of the program. Northrop invested heavily in the development of the F-20, but without significant requests, it was unlikely that this investment would be recovered. In addition, the high cost of production made it difficult to compete with other established models that had already achieved economies of scale.
FX Program
Much of the development of the F-20 was carried out under a U.S. Department of Defense project called "FX". FX sought to develop fighters that would be able to combat with the latest Soviet aircraft, but excluding sensitive frontline technologies used by U.S. Air Force (USAF) aircraft.
FX was a product of the Carter government's military export policies, which aimed to provide foreign nations with high-quality equipment without the risk of U.S. frontline technology falling into the hands of the Soviets. Northrop had high hopes for the F-20 in the international market, but the policy changes after the election of Ronald Reagan meant that the F-20 had to compete for sales against the newer variants of the F-16 and not with the F-16/79 downgraded.
The F-20 Tigershark program was abandoned in 1986 after three prototypes were built (two of which fell after their pilots fainted due to excessive g-forces) and a partially completed quarter.
youtube
The cool promotional video of the F-20 above was made in the 1980s and presents an introduction of the super ace Chuck Yeager, the first pilot to break the sound barrier, who at the time was a spokesman for Northrop.
In his autobiography, which he wrote after the F-20 was canceled, Yeager praised Tigershark as being "magnificent".

Bombardier Challenger 350: Is It Worth the Investment?
The Bombardier Challenger 350 is often praised as a leader in the super-midsize jet category, but before committing to a significant investment, it’s important to dive deeper into the features and costs associated with this aircraft. From performance and technology to operational expenses, I’ll share my insights as an industry expert to help you decide if the Challenger 350 is the right fit for your needs.
Overview of the Bombardier Challenger 350
The Challenger 350, introduced in 2014 as a successor to the Challenger 300, quickly became one of the most popular super-midsize jets in the market. This aircraft was designed with a clear focus on combining comfort, performance, and cost-effectiveness, making it a great option for both corporate and personal use. With a range of 3,200 nautical miles (5,926 kilometers) and a maximum cruising speed of Mach 0.82, it can handle long-distance routes like New York to London or Los Angeles to Honolulu without needing to refuel.
What sets the Challenger 350 apart from others is its balance of speed, range, and cabin comfort. With a maximum altitude of 45,000 feet, this aircraft flies high enough to avoid most turbulence, providing passengers with a smooth ride. It’s designed to reach a cruising altitude of 43,000 feet quickly, reducing fuel burn and increasing overall efficiency.
From an investment perspective, the Challenger 350 is widely regarded as offering substantial "bang for your buck." Priced at approximately $25.9 million for a new model, this jet competes closely with alternatives like the Gulfstream G280 and Embraer Praetor 600. The Challenger is favored by many for its reliability and lower operating costs.
Cabin Comfort and Features
Stepping into the cabin of the Challenger 350 feels luxurious from the moment you enter. The aircraft boasts a spacious, well-thought-out cabin, designed with passenger comfort in mind. The cabin dimensions of 6 feet in height and 7 feet in width make it the largest in the super-midsize category. Unlike many aircraft in this segment, the Challenger 350 allows most passengers to move around easily, thanks to its flat floor design.
The double-club seating configuration can accommodate up to 9 passengers, making it ideal for business travel or leisure. The seats offer 180-degree lie-flat capability, which is especially useful on long transcontinental flights. Additionally, there’s an option for a three-seat divan configuration if you’re looking for more flexibility in cabin layout.
Bombardier has incorporated noise-suppressing technology to ensure a quiet cabin, reducing sound by 4-5 decibels compared to the previous Challenger 300 model. This creates a serene environment perfect for work, rest, or conversation.
The cabin is also equipped with high-speed WiFi, an advanced entertainment system, and control features that passengers can manage directly from their personal devices. You’ll find everything from HDMI and USB ports to 22-inch HD monitors, ensuring passengers remain connected and entertained during their flight.
Performance and Efficiency
When it comes to performance, the Challenger 350 shines. Powered by two Honeywell HTF7350 engines, it generates a total thrust of over 14,600 pounds. These engines allow the jet to reach a cruising altitude of 43,000 feet at maximum takeoff weight, which helps reduce fuel consumption. The Challenger 350 also boasts a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.83, and it can comfortably sustain long transcontinental flights.
The aircraft's range of 3,200 nautical miles means it can handle routes such as Los Angeles to New York or Paris to Dubai without needing to refuel. While some jets in its class, such as the Gulfstream G280, offer slightly longer ranges, the Challenger 350 strikes a good balance between range and cost-efficiency. It’s especially popular with charter operators and fractional ownership programs, as it provides reliable performance at a relatively low operational cost.
Cost of Ownership
Purchasing a new Challenger 350 requires a significant upfront investment, with list prices starting at $25.9 million. However, the pre-owned market offers a more budget-friendly option, with prices ranging from $15 million to $18 million depending on age and condition. While the purchase price is an important consideration, ongoing costs also play a significant role in determining if this aircraft is worth the investment.
The Challenger 350 is known for its cost-efficient operation in the super-midsize class. Fixed costs, including crew salaries, hangar fees, insurance, and management, amount to approximately $556,843 per year. In addition to fixed costs, variable expenses such as fuel and engine overhaul can push the overall operational cost to over $1 million annually, depending on flight hours. For a jet that flies 200 hours a year, the total annual cost can exceed $1,083,427.
However, many owners find these costs justified, as the aircraft's reliability and lower maintenance needs make it a sound investment over the long term.
Technology and Avionics
The Challenger 350 is outfitted with some of the most advanced avionics and cockpit technologies available in business aviation. The Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 system provides pilots with the tools they need for safe, efficient operation, including optional Heads-Up Displays (HUD) and Enhanced Vision Systems (EVS). These features are especially useful in challenging weather conditions, allowing for safer takeoff and landing procedures.
In the cabin, the Challenger 350 offers a seamless in-flight experience. Passengers can enjoy high-speed internet with Viasat Ka-band, a major plus for business travelers who need to remain productive while flying. The cabin management system allows easy control of lighting, temperature, and entertainment via personal devices, making it convenient for passengers to customize their experience.
Competitors and Market Comparison
While the Challenger 350 excels in many areas, it’s important to compare it with other jets in the super-midsize category to ensure it's the right investment. Competitors such as the Gulfstream G280 and Embraer Praetor 600 offer slight advantages in range and speed. For example, the G280 boasts a range of 3,600 nautical miles, giving it a slight edge for longer transatlantic flights. However, the Challenger 350’s cabin size and comfort level often tip the scales in its favor.
In terms of price, the Challenger 350 remains competitive. While the G280 is priced slightly higher, starting around $25 million, the Challenger 350 offers more value in the pre-owned market. For buyers who prioritize cabin comfort, connectivity, and operational efficiency, the Challenger 350 is hard to beat.
Is It Worth the Investment?
After considering the performance, cost, and comfort factors, the Bombardier Challenger 350 emerges as a well-rounded option in the super-midsize jet category. Its spacious and quiet cabin, coupled with modern technology and relatively low operational costs, makes it a favorite among private jet owners and charter companies.
While some competitors offer slightly better range or faster speeds, the Challenger 350 excels in providing a comfortable, quiet, and connected flying experience. For individuals or businesses seeking a reliable and efficient aircraft, the Challenger 350 proves to be a worthwhile investment.
Top Reasons to Invest in the Challenger 350
