They've been advertising heavily on Facebook. Companies like Alta Devices and 1366 Technologies have been making kerfless photovoltaics for almost ten years now and are up to gen4 and gen3 production lines respectively, and have been

He admits the he neglected to include the carbon cost of constructing the internal combustion engine while including the carbon cost of building electric vehicles, so I would assume he's not been that thorough. Also, pretty sure he is

When people say "Dyson Sphere" they are frequently talking about Dyson Swarms or Dyson Bubbles because a solid "Dyson Shell" is inherently unstable.

He has said he thinks he can reduce the costs by a factor of ten, but except for having spare parts on hand to reduce downtime I don't think he has been specific about his ideas. He bought a conventional boring machine recently (I do

I don't see how these are not the same things. I see lots of posts from people I don't know that are liked by some of my friends, but often never see original posts by other friends. And I only have about two dozen friends that

Those Japanese eye drops were kind of a trendy thing at the time (and the incident happened in Tokyo.) Of course, if you agree and you have a bad reaction is it really the other guy's fault? (Assuming no tampering.)

Looking at this more closely, it would seem that the primary test they were doing with this was the effectiveness of the external heat exchangers. They had one rack consuming 27kW maximum, but they had 5 large external heat exchangers (of

The article doesn't mention crush pressure at depths of 200M so I'm thinking the plan is to replace the air with mineral oil which is non-conductive and absorbs heat well. But it will also mean the containers will probably not be

If one server goes down and they are not able to restore it remotely they will just write it off. If a large number go down due to some common failure, it might make sense to haul the whole thing up and refurbish it.

Marine fouling of the heat exchangers is probably the biggest technical hurdle.

The minimum pressure in the test track was 0.125 psi (teams using an air cushion could request a higher pressure and presumably if there was a leak the pressure could be higher than the minimum) while the air pressure on Mars is 0.087 psi.

There was a ten step process. There was a stationary vacuum test to assure that the components would operate in a vacuum, there was a moving open air test on a rail, and the final moving test in the mile long low-pressure tube. The other

Sorry, my point was that even if Mars had a thick atmosphere (after terraforming) you would still need underground bunkers for protection from solar flares and perhaps habitation. A thick roof is insufficient because the charged particles

This deserves a little more explanation. The PDP-11 had 8 registers and 8 addressing modes so in the days before debuggers you could dump the binary and pretty much debug straight from the octal without so much as referring to your handy-d

On second thought, I would say start with smaller models and work your way up. More complicated models take much longer to train, and keep training them until they plateau. Turn off the overlay and train on fast speed to get there faster.

Slightly off topic, but the video linked in the OP was worth watching for more context. However, he mentions at several points that the Virtuoso operating system for the Rosetta spacecraft was designed using TLA+. That is not the case: h
