If you run it on defaults for longest possible time (500 years), the outputs will reach the equilibrium state. It is very simplified simulation, of course. But seems to indicate that even in the absence of expansion beyond our home planet,

In the world of ever-growing AI slop, every authentic record becomes priceless. Paper books, vinyl audio records, old CDs, verified digital archives... I was thinking it is worth creating a database of hashes for every human-generated piece

Starlink ones are compliant with 25-year reentry requirement, no?

- Satellites below 500km altitude already have ~5 yr lifetime before re-entry. It is enough to limit mega-constellations to stay below this limit to ensure safety of future operations. Still, the collision probability will increase with the

I wonder if we can get a flyby mission by 2031 from NASA or ESA.

You got me thinking about incorporating silicon-based photosynthesis chemistry into plants. Making that work would be tricky, for sure.

Damn, I am impressed how nonchalantly the flagship NASA mission was using the reused boosters, dirty from soot.

Yeah, I changed the orbit position to randomly sampling orbit locations and asteroid belt gaps are definitely rendering artifacts.

The code draws full orbit ellipse if selected to do so, but the original picture was rendered using a different mode, where just a small slice of the orbit arc is rendered, pretty much showing an instantaneous position of asteroid. Now, I a

Demo written by the team from Exodus Orbitals. We have a few more cool projects in the pipeline - sign up to learn about them here https://exodusorbitals.us4.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=959a0...

I suspect the gap is at least 50% rendering artifact, but all 1.4M asteroids are plotted as (small) fraction of its orbital ellipse, so the density distribution is reflective of the real data (more specifically, orbit types)

There are not that many, less than a 100 with apoapsis inside of the Earth orbit. Rendering can be adjusted for better visibility, but 4 inner planets swept the interior volume pretty thoroughly during earlier times of Solar System.

A good laptop will last for 5-10 years, about as long a car, I guess. 20 year laptops (Thinkpads mostly) are still around. If average laptop lifetime is about 5 years (for all reasons), then about 0.1% will make it to 50 years and remain op

Search for "computational biology" on Amazon, but I'd say go first to online courses if you have time and commitment, like: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/bioinformatics https://www.

...as difficult as discovering new medicines, you mean? Chemistry and molecular biology are fiendishly complicated fields, far more complex and less predictable than what general (and most of the non-biochem STEM majors) imagine them to be.

Probably not... Surface temperature would drop to -200 deg and all the atmosphere would freeze. Radioactive decay only provides only a 0.05W/m^2 on Earth's surface vs solar irradiance of 1000W/m^2.

Fascinating how Elon is now "He Who Must Not Be Named" villain. Every single success and victory that SpaceX achieved, from the fourth flight of Falcon-1 to the latest Starship test flight bears his name too.

All neutrinos are relativistic (moving at almost speed of light) and our current model assumes dark matter is "cold" (moving at relatively slow speeds).

TL;DR: the Big Rip is likely not to be the fate of the Universe as dark energy term in lambda-CDM cosmology is not a constant but weakens as time moves forward. Seems like Heat Death or Big Crunch options are back on the menu!

Note the downward trend in the number of new programming languages per decade. Probably because this field of CS has reached maturity stage and new greenfield projects are less in demand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T
