It's somewhat suspicious that you only have positive things to say about AI. That is not the experience of most people who work with AI.

We can calculate it: https://ourworldindata.org/gra...

The world is an extremely confusing place for people who don't understand statistics. The best they can do is find someone they trust to interpret the statistics (reality) for them. Then groups accumulate around self-styled experts, and the groups fight each other.

All because they skipped math class.

People stopped smoking.

It was a 10% change, which in a study of that type is very difficult to distinguish from noise. As often with statistics, this applies: https://xkcd.com/2400/

Yeah, look at the sizes planned on this one: https://www.starcloud.com/star...

Yeah, looks like they are planning 4 km of solar panels/heat dissipation.

Indeed.

Used to be you could filter out these kind of attacks by filtering based on RFC 3514. Unfortunately, lately all traffic from Google has been setting the bit and flooding the zone, so it's hard to see through all the noise.

Data centers in space are more expensive than data centers on earth. There is no way to avoid that. It doesn't matter how much you like Elon, the data center in space will always be more expensive.

The only reason to have data centers in space is if you want to do processing in space, for lower latency or something similar. And in fact, that is what the government wants to do.

It's part of the Golden Dome anti-missile defense. The architects have decided it's important to process missile tracking data in space, rather than sending it down to earth for processing.

They have a whole network of things up there processing and communicationg.

I haven't looked much at the architecture, but I suspect it's kludgy, completely lacking elegance.

Black body radiation. The heat is emitted in the form of infrared light (and other wavelengths, but mostly infrared).

Most satellites need to be carefully engineered to maintain their temperature range without getting too hot or too cold.

Indeed, a reasonable hypothesis is that ribosome-type life evolved first, and the the DNA mechanism evolved later, pushing out all the ribosome-style life except the traces of it that remain in our cells.

Francis Crick calculated how long it would take for life to evolve from scratch, and concluded it would take longer than the earth has existed. In response, he developed the hypothesis of panspermia, that life evolved elsewhere and somehow landed here (maybe just a few cells on an astroid). I don't have the ability to check his math on that hypothesis, so I don't have an opinion either way.

An enzyme is just a biological macro-molecule that catalyzes reactions. It doesn't need to be a protein.

The innovation seems to be having built a long chain of DNA from scratch that won't self-destruct instantly when put into a lipid envelope.
