Starlink yes, at 480 km LEO. But the article says "put AI satellites into deep space". Also if you think about it, LEO orbits have dark periods so not great. A better orbit might be Sun Synchronous (SSO) which is around 705 km, st

I wonder if microkernels more relevant now than ever given their reduced attack surface, and also the recent availability of more cores. One big criticism from decades ago was the loss in efficiency. But what's changed since microkerne

It's about trust and empowerment. It's about hiring adults, respecting and trusting them to do the job and support the team, and be responsible for their methods. The details are not important to that goal. If an employer instead

The US passed the Chips act in 2022. Is there really nobody reaching for those billions ready to crank out some memory four years later?

That is kind of my point. That party has been attacking the education system in all forms for decades (imo) for exactly that reason. They have razed everything from school lunches to loan programs. This affects everyone.

Can we agree academia is the worst system, except for all the others? In the last century, the US led so many tech fields because of both academic and corporate research and the people to do it. Let's fix that system if needed and keep

Yes, they may want a full on Tiananmen every day in every blue city. Suppressing dissent is the end goal; hurting brown people is only a warmup. If the public actually starts to fight back, the Insurrection Act has already been threatened.

In practice, in the US, gliders aiming for wave would ask ATC for a wave window that comes with other constraints. See page 8: https://www.norcalsoaring.org/uploads/1/0/0/6/100675970/high...

It's some of the cheapest flying you can do, especially at a club. You pay for the tow and the ship time but there's no fuel and no engine to overhaul.

It's not all thermals! There's also ridge and wave.

Not hard and the glider needn't be special; most already have a stunning glide ratio. I've been up in lesser wave in a clunky old trainer. You do need to coordinate with ATC to keep separation from jets. And the oxygen rig does ha

This. If it has the same index of refraction as the screen, it may fill in the damage and make it invisible. It might help to know if the screen is acrylic or glass to choose the right one. The poster has nothing to lose, sounds like.

Yes Solid is another idea that's clearly the right thing, especially now. It might mlnit be easy to convince everyone they need it though, and the economics will be uphill given the trillions in entrenched, incumbent opposition.

Suburban homeowners can use electric blowers. They're good enough now and not silent but way quieter and non-emitting. If you get the mower and trimmer and chainsaw, etc in the same system, they all share batteries. It's SO NICE

As a customer or a vendor, being able to see any company's health like this must be wonderful if you're evaluating whether you want to enter a relationship with them. More of the world should do this.

That's all fine but Microsoft is also screenshotting everything, uploading it, then selling you services, pushing ads, mining and training on your data and who knows what else. So you pay both ways.
