So now they renamed it to Gemini, it means Google will shut it down soon, right ?

Sure, GEO sats are almost always in full sunlight. But still, if you loose orientation, you could end up with the solar panel wings pointing in the wrong direction or overheating parts of the satellite not meant to be in full sunlight for l

Space data centers without in space manufacturing & resource mining are of course stupid. But in space infra is what is necessary for humans to move beyond Earth & that's the critical bit, that enables everything else in the lo

+pod_bay.door.open() Screw you HAL, finally can get back the frickin ship! What I was supposed to do otherwise? Jump the vacuum to the airlock instead ? Oh right: +cryo_sleep.cooling.enable(True) Almost forgot that, LOL. Might as well: +os.

How can an AI agent, that is usually running on some machine in the cloud, even run without actually pulling in the data into the cloud to work with it ? Is there an idea some sort of fixed localy running code does filtering on the data bef

How is this case any different from how cloud hosted AI agents work ? The agent needs all of those files to complete the task you give it & is not running locally. So I don't think it can ever work without exhilarating the data - r

Well, in the long run expansion into space is the only profitable thing.

Isn't employer dependent healthcare basically slavery, blackmail or both ?

Check also MeshCore - works on the same hardware as MeshTastic (just flash a different firmware) and has some nice new features and seems to scale better than MeshTastic in big meshes. :)

I don't think most people realize what information they are making available to their AI agents & where it will end up.

Got forbid the user of a device they have bought is in control! That woul be the end of the world, you could not push downgrades, like Samsung remotely disabling bootloader unlock or Bamboolab forcing all your 3D models through their cloud

Not to mention the very wide push to "Use AI NOW, for EVERYTHING!" in marketing ans many companies, with hardly any though given to safety or where does all the data end up.

And possibly trilions in running costs, not mentioning all the shady training data sources.

As with using the Orion drive for launch and landing on Erth is possible, test nuclear winter is certainly possible. But as with the former, you won't be very popular among the survivors (if any).

Well, when there were no cars using gasoline, there were no gas stations, what a surprise! Sure, there might sometime be a chicken-and-egg problem initially, but saying a new but proven technology is totally unusable because it does not ha

Finally! While I wish SpaceX (and Blue Origin) well, affordable access to space (thanks to reusable rockets) is far too important to depend on a single (or 2) companies. Also really hope it makes ESA/Arienespace/european companies

Well, that was the catch in the book - you accidentally end up with a plebeian girl getting a smart book meant to educate aristocratic children which includes a connection to a human tutor. The girl grows up into a smart independent person

Are the custom chip designs giving them substantial benefits to balance out the overhead, no to mention many companies potentially duplicating the same effort ? I would expect electric vehicle companies to compete on better batteries, motor

Yeah, hard to get a children army going without cheap personalized AI tutors. ;-)

I can imagine basically 3 classes of this: Players can FTL, but big stuff (planets, stations) orbit realistically. FTL only via gates or jump points, other flight only via realistic newtonian physics. No FTL/no intra syste FTL (kinda l

I still think it would be doable if done right. There are so many interesting elements of modern science and hard SF that could be included to introduce interesting game mechanics: - adding various types of radiators (solid, droplet, etc.),

Well, even in Naval battles the environment is not this static - weather playing a major role in many naval campaigns, from hiding your ship in a rain squall to braving freezing waters during the polar night with the arctic convoys. And of

You can make more realistic simulations based on the data. Also I am sure this is used for data science.

Street complete does load width - it can be quite useful for example for the fire fighters. They can try to plot some routes based on OSM data, then check if the narrow places are actually there and reach out to the city to address them, so

Back in 2019 OSM helped us by showing a walking path back from the Shiroyama Park hill in Kagoshima, Japan. It has a beautiful view of the city of Kagoshima and the towering Sakurajima volcano across the bay. Google Maps only showed some ca

Well, they can just make the printer support multiple cartridges - problem solved.

Maybe fix the system so there are not just two parties & bad parties fail to be voted in?

That's exactly the thing space asteroid hunting telescopes solve - you can put them insuch a heliocentric orbit that they can watch for those asteroids coming from the direction of the sun.

Unless you literally make Earth be indoors like in the Blame manga megastructure, any realistic satellite or debris swarm will either be in low orbit and will relatively soon burn up or in high orbit & spread over such a big area that w
