AI data centre in space being bombarded by radiation

Is Musk's plan for AI data centres in space missing physical and economic realities?

Latency - Satellites are far away
Cooling - Sun heats, cooling is hard
Power - Solar panels regularly in Earth's shadow
Radiation - AI chips are dense, not radiation hardened
Obsolesence - Chip lifecycle is short

6 world leaders applaud!

Where are the Americans willing to DO SOMETHING about this obviously incompetent and demented ass? Shame!

Such an amendment (or any law, really) is useless if the institutions that are supposed to *uphold* the laws are either too corrupted, to weak, or too scared to do so. The Orange Stain has power only because the institutions that are supposed to uphold the law let him have power. Shame on the USA.

Extra proud today to be Canadian

I thought it would be A, but when I actually tried it I got

"[0, 2, 1] [0, 1, 2] [0, 1, 2]".

I changed the code to three "print(f())" on three separate lines. Then I got

"[0]
[0, 1]
[0, 1, 2]"

So, clearly f() was called three times but only the last value was used.

Python 3.14.2.

Canada doesn't need an 11th province; they crazy!

Respect; this is the ultimate way to understand what's REALLY going on.

In assembly your program *is* the hardware. That's so cool!

God hasn’t stopped any of the mass shootings, so why would prayers help now? Like they helped all those previous times?

Well, you didn’t expect consistency from anarchists, did you?

This is what the American people chose. Hopefully they won’t make the same choice next time…

Canadian here; We used to go to New York as a family during school vacations. Not any more. Traveling within Canada for short breaks. We can’t see returning to the US while things are as they are.

It wasn’t incompetence, it was that at least pert of the justice system actually functions.

To Trump et al “ordinary Americans” are the enemy

Science is not religion; one should not believe in science, one should use (and respect) science as a method for developing knowledge.

Because it’s not news. Trump has been saying things like this for years.

Thank you for this. Sadly, the people who will pay attention are the people who respect knowledge, and that pretty much rules out anti-vaxers. The problem we face is not lack of knowledge, it’s the people who are susceptible to ignorant persuasion. How do we change their opinions?

ChatGTP and its cousins are tremendously useful tools, but like all tools they are limited and flawed. We need better “ai” (in quotes because there’s really no “I” in AI) and we need better users of AI.

Market forces at work….

That is SO COOL! Things like this give me hope for our future.

I don’t need a self driving car. I know how to drive, thank you. I will trust self-driving cars when they don’t share the roads with human drivers.

Good public transit in general. Trains solve on part of the transportation problem, but we need good subway service in dense cities, good bus service everywhere, good bicycling infrastructure, …. Lots of Europe does this right.

I so much don’t want shingles so I got the vaccine as soon as I was eligible. Vaccines good!

I am pretty passionate about many things, and when what makes me a living isn’t going to make me a living any more I shift to something else that I live that does. Not that it’s easy…

I don’t know - loving something gives you passion and drive to be really good at something, and hopefully to want to make a real contribution. I would look at it a bit differently; I want to love what I do that supports me, but not be dependent on it forever.

Congratulations!

Did they drain the swamp around the estate for him?

Perhaps you need more coffee...

There's no conspiracy here. The intended target was just THAT STUPID.
