It's also a particle and a self-propelled gun. There's a limited number of short legible words.

I chose the name because of the particle.
I sent a letter to the Soviet Union asking if they were ok with me using the name, never heard back!

Yet another example of intellectual property maximization in action. Hacker News / Reddit style communities are very intellectual-property focused. It’s quite interesting to see. Back when I was young, communities like this were anti-IP.
Now most such forums are very pro IP with a maximalist view of copyright and, in this case, trademark. Fascinating to see this shift happen.

I mean AI will take our jobs first, so we're actively engaging in Luddism and are somewhat biased towards the legal instruments that could help to stop progress and save our high paying jobs to ourselves at the expense of the rest of the society.
