It’s never a good idea to have the latest very sensitive GPUs in orbit where cosmic radiation can hit them and disrupt calculations. Or you put some old school robust versions up there, but then they’re too slow compared to ground based tech.

GPUs don’t last that long anyway. 5 years is a number you see often. Less with constant radiation. There is no upgrade or replace. That means these satellites will just stay up there for a few years until they de-orbit them and then we have a million satellites burning up in the atmosphere.

GPUs are also very power hungry. One modern rack of 72 GPUs sucks 120 kW. All solar panels of the ISS deliver 215 kW. These things won’t be small. And you needs hundreds to thousands to get the capacity of one data center.

So far, putting them in orbit doesn’t seem to make things easier.

The edges of the atmosphere are either too thin to do any heat transfer, or when the air gets thicker the satellite has friction and quickly burns up.

Tap water in India not fit for human consumption

India is among the world’s fastest growing bottled water markets

Wealthy opt for premium water as wellness craze boosts industry

Tata expanding offerings, hunting for natural water springs

Premium water now accounts for 8% of Indian market

They really love their programming sock pics.

But still somebody needs to do the work and confirm it when people go “sources?”

Doing the math, an electric car uses 15 to 20 kWh/100 km.

Gasoline car uses about 7 liter/100 km. That’s about 68 kWh.

That seems pretty straightforward with real-world numbers.

they are also heavier and thus require more energy to move

No, electric motors are a lot more efficient, 90%+. Internal combustion are at 30% something. So EV, while about 10% heavier, are much more energy efficient. They just carry less energy.

By the way microslop is doing emergency patch after emergency patch, vibe coding windows isn’t the brag they thought it was.

Like in Notepad? WHY?! So yeah, fuck Microsoft.

It’s the equivalent of a drugs dealer that starts throwing their product in people’s faces just to get more people hooked, but the product is so nasty almost everyone runs away screaming.

Too bad our leaders certainly believe in this fiction.

Yes, and to annoy Trump of course.

Their stock price dropped 10% last night. Desperation is sinking in.

Or it’s just history riming again. High debt levels make a fragile environment and conflicts more likely.

Accept, then raise tariffs on USA products to pay for the billion dollar entry fee.

Just got out of a discussion with a supplier. We can do what we needed by connecting to the database. Instead we have to go through four layers of different tech to arrive at the same point in the database otherwise it’s not compliant. That the supplier needs to sell a license for those layers is purely coincidental.

You can perfectly add mods to a game from Steam using vortex mod manager for example. They’re not blocking your access to game files, like iOS does.

Seems they’re figuring out you can’t sell ads and AI on your platform if nobody wants to use your platform.

That deal was not finalized, and EU just put it back in the fridge after Donald’s little tantrum about Greenland iirc

OneUI Fluffy Icon pack in Google play store

That’s me in cyberpunk. Running around with guns and swords as a hacker because when really hacking all enemies in the area would suddenly convulse and drop.
