What does that have to do with efficiency? Water throughput isn't exactly what mature optimizes for (hence natural rivers taking curves).

Haha, no that's about the least realistic thing of Dune.

Played around with Udio some time ago. Very fun what it can do.
comment in response to post
Indeed, that's exactly what I'm saying. If people think that every pandemic will be like Covid was, that would be dangerous...
comment in response to post
Very most likely the actual engineers are not to blame, but NASA as a whole kinda has messed up (probably due to external influences from the congress/senate)... Also I have no idea where you are getting at with "evidence destroyed". What kind of evidence?
comment in response to post
Am not that surprised that people at NASA would prefer to do their thing on their own because it is surely a bit shameful to see the efficiency of SpaceX while the SLS is a literally unsustainable (they plan to use Shuttle engines that are not produced anymore) money grave :/
comment in response to post
Don't know what their policy is, however privacy is not concerned here with that...
comment in response to post
Image processing software/apps are one. IDEs would too if there weren't quite a number of free ones. Obviously assistants, answer-apps, robots and stuff but I assume you didn't mean those since there the AI is the core.
comment in response to post
Do you mean the "utm_source=bsky"? That's hardly tracking since it doesn tell anything about the clicking person, only about what site the link was clicked on.
comment in response to post
You mean maybe the very rich, lol. You cannot get the birdflu from cooked eggs.
comment in response to post
With thenknowledge we have now it is problematic to call COVID a pandemic. It waters down the word. Once an actual pandemic happens (one that actually has a mortality in the double digits) even fewer people will listen to the scientists due to comparison with how Covid turned out :/
comment in response to post
Ooh I would be curious to know how those feel o.o
comment in response to post
Good luck convincing anyone by spouting such extremist viewpoints yourself, lol.
comment in response to post
Of course that makes people mad because you are putting yourself on a high horse of morale.
comment in response to post
Uhm what? You are making no sense. In every case SpaceX' workhorse, the Falcon 9 is launching more than once a week and didn't have a failure in a long time. I do not doubt Starship will reach that status too at some point.
comment in response to post
This IS the space race. Hence how the new budget for NASA has shifted a lot of money from regular research to manned missions. Just that that will hardly happen with NASA's own rockets because for many reasons they've lost trust with the SLS :/
comment in response to post
Interesting story, had not heard that before. However as I said, what exactly is needed for the true consciousness? Do we know for sure that there's something undamentally different?
comment in response to post
Hmm, the later does not much my experience. ChatGPT does ask for clarification soemtimes. When in research/deep mode it in fact asks every time I've used it so far.
comment in response to post
Btw. define "AI" in this context please :)
comment in response to post
The thing is, where is the line? Seen from outside, a human is also a system (a biological one) that quacks... We do not have enough of an insight to the inside to tell what exactly it is that makes us "conscious". I agree however that current AI isn't conscious, but that surprisingly isn't needed.
comment in response to post
Not blocked by me btw. it's Bsky's somewhat strange transentient blocking in threads xD
comment in response to post
What silly argument, the system is still in development... It was the largest object humans brought to essentially orbit earlier this week!
comment in response to post
If OpenAI has made a mistake then that due to the name, the phrase "just ask ChatGPT" is a tad less catchy and longer.
comment in response to post
Except this would not need to be programmed the traditional way and likely needs way less assets.
comment in response to post
Ooh that will make for some cool horror games o: Wonder how much parallels there are between this and that AI-generated interactive Minecraft game some time ago.
comment in response to post
First generation will probably be primarily research. Bought by universities etc. But this tech will have to start going public somewhere if it shall do our household in the next decade.
comment in response to post
Lol, get a grip on reality.
comment in response to post
It is the mass. Without that restriction it is far easier to add redundancy, radiation shielding etc. and you can generally develop with more leeway which is faster and more costefficient...
comment in response to post
They do offer the Falcons at prices that made them more attractive than competitors. It's rather about having the possibility to bring such masses into orbit at all. The price is then a matter of negotiation.
comment in response to post
Uhm, the cybertruck does it's job quite well. It's drivable and looks unique vehicle. Thing is, SpaceX has been doubted a lot regarding the Falcons too and see where they are now. What knowledge do you have that tells you Starship were fundamentally faulty?
comment in response to post
That's why they simply locked the doors to some facilities.
comment in response to post
Not surprising. The last few years were really wild. I only caught the very end of it consciously but think that's comparable to the boom the internet brought upon us.
comment in response to post
To be fair, once Starship is successful - and there is no reason for it not to be within very few years - a lot of space related things will become easier... A reason why current missions are so expensive is the very tight mass budget after all.
comment in response to post
You know.. There is a chance Veo3 can create something like that! <:
comment in response to post
Nah, it's ideologists that are in control.
comment in response to post
Oh no, you said the W word, now you are gonna get labeled as a communist D:
comment in response to post
I took a screenshot of what I think is an excellent example.
comment in response to post
Sure, but what to do about the debt?
comment in response to post
Hopefully privatization of space missions is picking up speed here in Europe soon.
comment in response to post
I see the grain of truth in this, but for the most part that is nonsense. You could say that all human communication is based on that same phenomena... Not to mention art that extremely often "falls apart" when you zoom in too much.
comment in response to post
What number of people do actually suffer though, compared to other illnesses?
comment in response to post
Ah nvm. I see by "corporate pride" you meant only the companies supporting the pride movement. Why was annyone bagging on that in the past? (and then how could you expect them to keep doing it under the new atmosphere in the US)?
comment in response to post
Under Trump with DEI projects scaled back, you can entirely forget that, lol. In the US at least.
comment in response to post
That's not company pride though, that's the company somehow being proud/supportive for a movement that has little to do with them...
