There isn’t really much benefit to having compute on orbit unless you’re working on VERY specific applications that have such tight latency requirements where you need to process t…

It depends on what you're going for. Generally people really don't want collisions due to cascading effects, so they take the worst-case probability of collision found with boundin…

This is confusing terminology in the field, but you generally talk about the cross sectional area in the plane of the conjunction ( https://www.space-track.org/documents/SFS_Handbo…

Need to do a full read in more depth but it looks like they used a collision cross section of A=300 m^2, which is a little conservative but not insane given that the current Starli…

So other ways of combining greater numbers of microbatch gradients in an effective/consistent manner for performing an update is one area of potential future work. I think your ide…

> 1. Do you think this is a form of variance reduction or more a form of curriculum (focus first on the bulk, then on remaining errors)? I'd say generally more of a cirriculum (usi…

Great question! There are a few different aspects to this. With gradient agreement filtering having a greater number of batches (generally) increases the likelihood of finding anot…

Co-author here. Super excited to see this work posted on HN! Happy to answer questions.

F10.7 is the measured solar power flux at 10.7 cm wavelength. It is measured all over the world but primarily from Penticton observatory in Canada. The largest source of uncertaint…

Currently VC backed companies are barred from competing on SBIRs. There is legislation currently in the works to change that. But gov funding isn’t more common currently because yo…
