  • SpaceX Is Junk. That’s What the Bond Market Says

    Jump

  • Starlink (which is suffering from congestion problems already and cannot be scaled up).

    Where does this come from? Yes there are congestion issues at the moment and even congestion charges, isn’t this just a matter of more satellites? They only have like 10,000 but planned for a gazillion and are continuously increasing …. The very definition scalable

  • Yeah and that is so unfortunate. They had so much potential to change the industry again, as a space company.

    Using that space company to fund ai was a bad idea

  • Sebastian? Sebastian, is that you?

  • They may be trying, but someone is succeeding in turning him into someone I’d rather elect for national office

  • Yeah but none of that is a requirement to be president. Nor is being a felon or pedophile

  • Anybody Who Thinks Orbital Data Centers are a Good Idea Is Suffering from AI Psychosis, Experts Argue

    Jump

  • There’s various ways from better shielding to redundancy to error checking everything.

    This is actually why I hope they do pursue this stupidity. We do need to figure out how to goto the next level of computing for everything we do in space. If the folly of “datacenters in space” helps them figure out reliable computing despite radiation and lack of cooling then we win

  • No. At least historically they went the opposite way: the nuclear materials be contained well enough to survive reentry and impact

  • It makes sense if we have a space elevator

    But that’s sort of where at least musk is thinking. Maybe he’s been drinking his own koolaid too much but starship promises a revolution in space launches, and bringing down the cost to space by an order of magnitude, on top of Falcon bringing down the cost to space by an order of magnitude

    I’m sure there’s also a bit of circular logic: the best way to decrease launch costs enough to support datacenter in space is to have data centers in space driving greatly increased launches. If starship isn’t building a mars colony anytime soon then how will its use scale to match what it was designed for?

    TBH I like that they’re doing this. Datacenters in space may be a silly idea, but there are and will be space use cases that need the next level of computing capabilities, think “datacenters”. Imagine the myriad of instruments we have in orbit being able to act more autonomously, preprocess a flood of data into a manageable stream of information. Let them pursue their folly if it means the next generation of telescopes will do much more

  • For sure. It’s mainly psychological, feeling a bit adrift. Trying f to transition from always working toward a long term goal to … not. And obviously you don’t want to just exist and kill time. There’s a whole world of short term experiences and satisfaction just waiting for the right shift in mindset

  • TIL about bifacial solar cells which produce electrical energy when light hits either side

    Jump

  • Maybe. The point of vertical biracial panels is less need for batteries, or counterbalance generation. When you look at the system as a whole, it may be simpler and cheaper over everyone installing panels with a strong peak in the afternoon when no one is using it

  • Yeah, I was always too hung up on being mature, responsible, preparing for the future …. One of the many great things about having kids was rediscovering how to act like a kid!

  • But it’s very different when you’re a typical healthy adult and someone reminds you: you’re almost at an age where it’s normal to poop your pants. Talk about cringe

  • And your gums. Actually floss. No one wants to but your 60 year old self will thank you.

    Wearing braces for the first time at 60, because my teeth decided to start moving around enough to affect eating. And it’s just getting worse from here. I brushed: no cavities ever. I have good health/genes: one root canal is my only tooth issue. But I hated flossing and rarely did, and my dentists pointed out gum health over the decades, so here we are

  • No purpose, no goal. My entire life has been driven by: goto college, meet someone, get married, buy a house, have a kid, pay for college, save for retirement. Ok, done?

  • You may want to familiarize yourself with marketing, before you indict half the economy.

    But the name is “Fill Self Driving (Supervised)”. See, no fraud, just a balance of marketing and legaleze, lying and technicalities

  • I believe the key is data aggregators. The first roun of sales is to an aggregator. They Hoover up everything to create a connected dossier on everyone, also including public sources of information, to “add value”. Then the entire internet buys it

    But maybe not directly. A lot of the time the entire internet is buying a list that meets demographic criteria. “Give me a list of validated email addresses that have used Lemmy, posted about tpb , and use a vpn based in another country”

    Very much not best for price

    But i can’t decide if this is good behavior or bad behavior …

    • recently i had a $100 call to London because my plan doesn’t include international. Yikes!
    • but I could retroactively sign up for international service for like $10, and my $100 call became like $5. Yay!
    • but that service is auto-renewal and you have to cancel it by specific day. Dammit!
