"A couple of things. a) really cool technology. b) shipbuilding and boat building are two completely different things. People play fast and loose with the terminology. c) if youre making this at scale a mould will be faster and cheaper. Great for prototyping or low-volume production though. d) not convinced being able to make hulls in the field is valuable. Repairs definitely are. e) beyond a certain scale steel dominates in shipbuilding. Polymer or composite are not well suited for heavy payloads in rough sea states. Shipbuilding normally needs shipyards. This boat came out of a microfactory."

Ceding control of the Taiwan & Luzon Straits would effectively give China a veto over the economies of Japan and South Korea. The reason Japan considers it an existential threat is because 90% of its crude oil and 32% of its total trade passes through the South China Sea.

"Zanes on point. My thoughts: start with the big heavy stuff thats expensive to ship. Pick one category and make one truly excellent product in America. Scale it up then rinse and repeat. If youre 25% more expensive but the product & support are fantastic youll do well. every supply chain that runs through china is a business waiting to be built in america and right now the US imports about $400B+ annually from china every supply chain that runs through china is a business waiting to be built in america and right now the US imports about $400B+ annually from china"

"Another thing that can set you apart when manufacturing in America: lead times. Ordering from overseas especially Europe or Japan often comes with long lead times and ridiculous sales processes. Be easy to buy from keep inventory ship quickly and you will find a market"

"As someone who spent way too many years shoveling snow in a frigid country: This is a terrible shovel design. Unless youre pushing a small pile of snow on flat pavement no ice underneath you want a strong metal shovel with a single wood handle. No wheels no metal handle. Snow Pusher with Plastic Blade 48" Overall Length Loop Handle $128.26 each 6302A11 This might be a good buy if you're on the east coast. https://t.co/GUcI9WTHvD Snow Pusher with Plastic Blade 48" Overall Length Loop Handle $128.26 each 6302A11 This might be a good buy if you're on the east coast. https://t.co/GUcI9WTHvD"

"Great stuff but there might be a better way. Like other shipyards with billions invested in infrastructure and process Hanwha is attempting to develop exotic robots (e.g. ones that can switch welding methods based on gaps) to deal with non-uniformity. That will be tricky. But what if you could fix that problem upstream instead Why are steel plates not highly uniform to 1mm tolerances to begin with Anyone who has worked in a shipyard will immediately point out the obvious: steel plate from the mill has internal stresses and imperfect dimensional tolerances. Welding particularly MIG or SAW"

"This is by the way why were so adamant about a first principles rethink of how we build ships in America. The numbers are so stark that business as usual simply doesnt cut it.

"Accelerating American shipbuilding requires us to think differently about how raw steel gets transformed into ships. Were redesigning the process of building panels - blocks - hulls around autogenous laser welding at @ValstadShip. Its obvious why it hasnt been done yet: high-power lasers like the one were using are expensive finicky (you should see the requirements list for the chiller unit) power-hungry and require enclosures and careful safety procedures. But if you start from a clean sheet of paper and design around the limitations the benefits are huge. The combination of laser welding +"

He confirmed what I always felt: To achieve anything youll swing between Im a genius and Im an idiot. Sometimes weekly. Sometimes hourly.
