The issue is it doesn't really matter and radio isn't much benefit: you get much higher bandwidth, better reliability, immunity to ECM, and fiber-optic wires in Ukraine are over 50km long. The exact application for this is autonom

Yeah that's mostly what's having me hold off at the moment - next year the flash charging cells will be debut'ing in Australia. I honestly don't know if I even need the capability, but I'm anticipating some further

I would not bring a child into this world knowing they would die an early, painful death, at best leaving behind a family and children of their own without a parent themselves. Potential people aren't actual people though either.

Or just objective reality? I've been shopping EVs lately and both Tesla and BYD have compelling offerings. One things for sure: somehow Japanese cars aren't in the mix at all (the experience of trying to even see the bz4x at a Toy

Doesn't that get into the domain of a distro like Gentoo though? (Or sort of Nix as well) - rebuild everything to precisely target your actual architecture.

The point is they're in a business no one would claim is particularly profitable but claiming a valuation like they're in a totally different business - one where they're not even top 3. Its not that there isn't value in

None of these companies are worth the numbers being tossed around, but SpaceX especially so. Its Schrodinger's IPO: the space business is so successful how could you question the company's worth? You can't afford to miss ou

Youtubes monetization guidelines also require it.

I don't see how: Starship is a very long running project at this point, and progress has been incremental. Productionizing the basic logistics systems like turning around re-usable launch vehicle took years for Falcon 9, and Starship&#

I think this hits on a genre which hasn't quite happened yet: deguard-railed, presumably pirate model LLM outputs. Like the early days of ChatGPT when you could fairly easily jailbreak it to ease GPT4 output, I think we're likely

What you're not planning to upgrade from your Web 3.0 platform to an Agentic one? Scandalous!

I think trying to solve loneliness by combining it with the modern corporate environment is absolutely the wrong approach though. Get your socialization needs met in an environment where we ask all the people around you to rate your perform

I'll settle if they double the height so my eyes don't get blasted by sun glare. There's beautiful views from my current office..but my job is a screen all day and having dim interior lighting versus direct sun fighting it ou

That's the point. Basic rule of thumb: anytime someone is arguing that the military will fund something, they're wrong. Its not a real argument it's just used because to most people the military is a big mysterious thing they

People don't want to live near data centers. But companies find it logistically cheaper and easier to keep proposing to build them near existing towns and infrastructure, and then deal with regulatory fights rather then picking an isol

They also need Starship at minimum, which is now a 10+ year old project still exploding regularly. Starship is at minimum a 2030 project at this point. And even producing the volume of chips needed for the type of growth space data centers

The short version is brine is weird: it's surprisingly resistant to diffusing and tends to flow more like an immisicible fluid. So you have to put quite a lot of effort into getting it to actually disperse rather then just fall to the

Falcon 9 is also the most successful vehicle ever flown. The modern zeitgeist of not liking someone in one area so now everything associated with them must be bad is insufferable.

No? No one believes the Golden Dome will get built. No one is valuing space on that basis either. Even SpaceX's IPO isn't valued based on space launch and that's the problem .

SpaceX is not worth $1 trillion, when most of that valuation is based on xAI being worth far more then their already dominant position in the space launch business.

Because it hasn't happened yet, and now, won't. So by that metric the very loud people succeeded: these new IPOs will enter the index under the established rules and time-frames.

What philosophy? The gender based outcomes people never seem able to come up with any coherent explanation of what they think the problem is other then to play to stereotypes.

I don't know how you can post something this stupid after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

There wasn't an effective weightloss drug until suddenly there was though.

What do you plan to do with the people who don't pass though? Everyone's very excited to have failure rates or whatever and then mute on the real problem: those people don't just go away.

The EU has scored wins there though. The mobile phone industry turns product into landfill on a yearly or more frequent basis. People might do a yearly model swap on a car, but the car itself stays on the road for 10-20 years. Changing how

Moreover their filings on the matter basically correctly weight their space launch business and then go "and xAI will obviously be worth a bajilion dollars more".

I mean all of Accelerando is kind of about this: the idea is introduced in chapter 1 when you meet the lobsters.

The vast majority of bullets fired from most guns would be military training. And even the military would acknowledge that a lot of the bullets they fire in a war aren't really intended to kill people specifically either. And yet none

Do the executives implement program features? The most striking thing about these types of conspiracy theories is people seem to completely forget that whoever you imagine you can threaten generally doesn't have the ability to do the t
