Eep

Also, as a fun thought experiment, look up what a BFLOAT16 is and what would result from a high energy particle tickling one.

I think the fixation on thermal management comes from the conflicting requirements of LLM compute and space hardware.
LLM compute is by nature power hungry, hot, and inefficient. Whereas the people who make space hardware bend over backwards to optimize every corner of software and hardware.

The ISS can support ~70kW of color TDP total. The GPUs needed for these data centers are reaching 1kW of TDP each. A small data center is already reaching 100s to 1000s of GPUs. The flagship sites are nearing half a million. That's a starlink constellation worth of ISSes.

Just getting V2X implemented, standardized, and easily installable would be really neat. (At least as easily as a normal grid-islanding inverter)

They even made it girthier.
I can't.

Ah jeez sorry, sounds ruff.

Mission and memorial patches for STS-107, Columbia.

Farther than we can see, there is comfort and hope.

I'll get you into fountain pens too, this is a threat.

Ow, hitting me right in the hobbies.

If you want to know where your electricity is coming from @gridstatus.io has a great page showing every national grid's "Fuel Mix"
California is currently 64% solar.

It's not even been half the runtime yet

One of the more important videos of 2026

This is a @techconnectify.bsky.social appreciation shout out.

Charles Joseph Minard's visualization of Napoleon's route and losses during his Russian campaign, 1812.

Huh

I honestly thought the thread was an elaborate analogy until the videos were posted.

I've had good success using grade 3 paper (not multigrade) and the right color filters to remove the orange cast.

Every minute this guy spends reassuring people outside California (gee, I wonder why that is) that he's a centrist, really, Is a minute California doesn't have a governor.

We're sick of it too.

These have always perplexed me. While a lot of people have a PO box tied to their license, a lot of people don't! This is like having your home address on your car. "Hey, guess what house is currently unoccupied" among other concerns.

If you are anxious and sad about the state of the world, that's fine, and there are plenty of strategies for dealing with that. But I think you already know that drive-by online dooming isn't a strategy. It's selfish and adolescent. It's a contagion that only spreads the worst of you, not the best.

Clearly vibecoded, time to vibereview it.

@ericmigi.com Will rePebble return to the San Mateo Event Center for @opensaucelive.bsky.social ?

Come and See, Charlie Brown

As one of the few places I can count on to discover a very specific type of music, I appreciate the effort put in.

Still liking my 2020 Niro EV. It's nothing special, but it doesn't need to be and I've had no huge problems yet.

"safeguard" and "guardrail" is so misleading too. All these companies are doing is asking another LLM if it's "safe" to pass the prompt to the other LLM. It can't be reproduced or scrutinized in a meaningful way.

Don't anthropomorphize the system of linear algebra and vector math built by unethical people.

This is why I like the 2023 Model 3 and 2025 Model Y, because it's very obviously been purchased post-whatever-dividing-line-you-want-to-draw.

I'll have to remember to share the absolutely buck wild collection of hyperspecific ads I see on my work commute.

I'm also highly amused that it's Keurig cups.
Awwww does the big strong gun man need the coffee made for them?
