    Is a data center satellite really that different from a communications satellite? Starlink sats must have some significant processing power and nontrivial control system, and they …

    So, your link shows that they probably have like $1 billion in sales per month (but they publicly overstated this by 30%), and that's the struggle to find customers? There are tons…

    Starship V2 heat shield was good enough to allow the ship to perform a landing on the ocean in one piece, in a precise spot. But a safe landing is not enough, the ship needs to be …

    14.3 seems to come from some Red Hat-specific GCC version, which can be reported as "gcc (GCC) 14.3.1 20250617 (Red Hat 14.3.1-2)". See these random examples I found by googling: h…

    You're not contradicting my comment, I was talking specifically about the key with full permissions that the LLM found (the article doesn't talk about other keys that LLM could hav…

    Not exactly, it was a normal solar panel business started by Elon's cousins (SolarCity), but it wasn't going well, and in the end it was bought by Tesla for much bigger money than …

    Well, I only said that if we're considering a ~fully renewable energy generation in the UK, with supply evened out by massive pumped storage projects, then locating all the storage…

    If you're talking about uranium enrichment, that's like saying we increased the amount of gasoline on earth (by refining crude oil). Natural uranium is ~99% non-fissile, and ~1% fi…

    >England is 90% renewables The thing is, it's nowhere near 90% in general. 90% is the generation right now, with sunlight and good wind. On the site you can see that renewables wer…

    I haven't used them, but IIRC they maintain a constant voltage until they're discharged, when it instantly drops to 0. That may be a problem, because if your device has any battery…
