THE NEW SPACE RACE: Anduril says its first satellite can see adversaries maneuver in orbital night.
Funded with Anduril’s internal capital, the company’s oven-sized satellite launched on a SpaceX rideshare mission in July with a package of tech demo payloads: an edge-compute processor, a power-management system adaptable to different mission types, and a long-wave infrared space sensor capable of detecting other objects in orbit.
Anduril reported on the success of the tech demo mission Tuesday. The company’s satellite, named Anduril-216, flies about 590 km (366 mi) above Earth, spending about one-third of each orbit in darkness. Anduril-216’s night passes allow its infrared imager to shine.
“This is a unique sensor that allows us to take imagery in long-wave [infrared],” said Gokul Subramanian, Anduril’s senior vice president of engineering. “What’s unique about that is it’s got a huge dynamic range. It has very low solar exclusion, so we’re blocked by the Sun very rarely, and we can see things in full dark.”
I wonder what Subramanian isn’t telling us…

OPEN THREAD: Hump Day.
WISHING HIM WELL: ESPN says that “Actor and race car driver Frankie Muniz was hospitalized Wednesday following a practice lap crash at Daytona International Speedway, according to his racing team.”
Normally when TV stars or business celebs get into racing it’s egotistical gibberish but a pal who raced small formula cars against Munoz says he’s the real deal. Not a young Jackie Stewart, mind you, but when one racer refers to another saying “oh yeah, he’s quick” that’s a sign of mad props.
Get well soon, Frankie!

CHRISTIAN TOTO: Pop Culture Proves It: The Left Loves Political Violence.
Sam Morril created an entire bit around a dead baby.
The comic found bleak humor in the reaction to an alligator killing an infant. He focused more on a comedy club patron’s outrage, expanding the bit in the process.
Dark? Yes. Funny? For some.
Morril wasn’t gleeful that a child had died, but he used it to explore the boundaries of humor and why we get outraged by select jokes and not others. Plus, black comedy allows us to process grief. It’s called gallows humor.
Dave Chappelle’s latest rant is different. And, sadly, it suggest a cultural rot that cannot be ignored.
The Left, not center-Left souls or classical liberals, crave political violence. Sound hyperbolic? Consider the evidence. There’s too much of it now to ignore.
The Left has always loved political violence, but it’s a big tell when open admission of it goes mainstream.
AI WAR: PLA-linked Chinese university bought Nvidia H200 chips despite US blacklist, records show. “The findings come as Nvidia and its CEO Jensen Huang face mounting scrutiny in Washington over his lobbying for looser restrictions on sales of AI chips to China, following reports alleging he was targeted by a Chinese spying operation.”
THOSE NARRATIVES DON’T MAINTAIN THEMSELVES, YOU KNOW:
Hamas & Islamic Jihad have now themselves, in their own martyr notices, admitted that SIXTY-TWO "innocent Gazan journalists" were in fact combatants killed in action. Despite obsessive interest in the Gaza war, not one major mainstream media outlet has covered this story. https://t.co/bhPXr6sJ78
