Wow, you are right. There is a new movie out. I did not know until just now, and now that I know, I don't care. I grew up during the prequel trilogy, I dressed up for the premiere of TFA. What a sad state of affairs :(

Pre google ban huawei phones were incredible. 2-day batteries, great screens, fantastic cameras and an awesome price. I had a Samsung after my last huawei and it felt like a solid downgrade, even though the samsung was way more expensive. F

You realize that mirrors can also have a wider fov by making them concave, right?

Heh, took me about a year after moving from SA to Ireland to get them to leave me alone about my tv license. Here they have a tv license as well, but so far I've sidestepped it because I shipped my TV over, but one day I'll probab

> making starship out of steel The whole reason for this was because of SS's supposed strength under the heat of reentry. Yet they now need to cover the whole thing in thermal insulating tiles. So I wonder if a composite Starship wo

I posit that a mouse that needs to be on its back to be charged, thus rendering it completely useless during that time, to be much much much worse than a round mouse with no immediate indication which way is forward...

I see, that is different indeed, and rather silly to force you to apply from abroad! Seems like it's a ploy to get all the undesirables out of the country, then it's "oops your application was denied, or it takes years to be

Presumably because they are spending their money prosecuting people complaining about bad water. Money does not grow on trees, you know!

Simila in Ireland: you are not allowed to seek work while in Ireland on a holiday visa, you can only apply for work permissions/visas from outside the country, and depending on the type of visa you get (general work vs critical skills)

I think you and I are coming to the same conclusion. It's totally viable to have 20kw of compute in a satellite in space. Hell, you can probably get away with 100kW or more with some sort of megasatellite. I'm pretty sure we'

Plop these satellites on a massive barge in the middle of the ocean with 2x the solar and battery capacity to (to account for day/night cycles) and you have exactly the same solution, only it's multiple orders of magnitude easier

Merci, the hint about youtube set me on the right path.

The starlink satellites have hall effect thrusters, and presumably beefy laser and radio comms systems that will account for a lot of the energy budget. Also, they are sometimes in the earth's shadow, a naive calculation says they have

At some point a massive landfill will become more economically viable to mine for rare or useful elements than an actual mine. There is a good case for piling rubbish into to a well-managed landfill for future generations to mine with bette

Thanks for you metric conversions. Very considerate of you! Just an fyi, precipitation is usually measured in mm. There is no need for the decimal point in your conversions.

Having people with that level of access without some form of two-person-control is already a sign of incompetence.

What aspect of an orbital data centre makes it more environmentally friendly than a terrestrial one?
113.
by beAbU 5mo ago
> 2. The cost of orbital datacenters will approach the cost of terrestrial datacenters (in $ per token terms) That is one wild, batshit insane assumption. So much so that I did not bother to read the rest of your post.
