There’s no suggestion that the US and Chinese spaceplanes are spying on one another because their orbits do not bring them close together. However, the supposed similarities between the US and Chinese military spaceplanes are hard to ignore. “It’s no surprise that the Chinese are extremely interested in our spaceplane, and we’re extremely interested in…
Welcome to Edition 6.23 of the Rocket Report! In last week’s report, my colleague Eric Berger mentioned what a year 2023 has been for rocket debuts. Several new launch vehicles flew for the first time this year, including SpaceX’s Starship and Japan’s H3. In this week’s report, we have some news on some major rocket…
We have followed Lightship since its inception, through to the official unveiling of its L1 electric RV trailer at SXSW this past March. This travel trailer is unique in its aerodynamic, modular design and comes equipped with its own all-electric powertrain and battery pack, alleviating the towing capacity for the vehicle in front of it. … Today,…
The project achieved this goal by utilizing two existing projects — llama.cpp and Cosmopolitan. Georgi Gerganov’s llama.cpp enables LLMs to run on consumer-grade hardware with acceptable performance, and will even work well with just a CPU if you do not have a fancy GPU. Any decent laptop or desktop from the past several years should…
“A left without class is just a liberal pressure group”
The other day, I was invited to speak at a conference called The Wall Street Journal CEO Council. When I got there, I felt compelled to acknowledge the obvious: this esteemed American newspaper has no business belonging to one of the most destructive men on earth, Rupert Murdoch. https://the.ink/p/telling-the-truth-about-the-murdochs
The proposed therapy uses “a combination of MDMA, psychotherapy (also known as talk therapy) and other supportive services to treat PTSD,” the release stated. A 2021 meta-analysis in the Journal of Clinical Pharmacology found that although “MDMA-assisted psychotherapy has been shown to be an effective therapy for patients with PTSD with a reasonable safety profile, use of unregulated…
A team of scientists from the SETI Institute, University of California Davis and the Alaska Whale Foundation, had a close encounter with a non-human (aquatic) intelligence. The Whale-SETI team has been studying humpback whale communication systems in an effort to develop intelligence filters for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. In response to a recorded humpback…
As frustrating as the Fort Knox-esque canister conundrum has been, what has been analyzed so far has offered some pretty incredible results — though they too have left scientists with more questions than answers. … Those lighter-colored bits are magnesium, phosphate, and sodium per the early analysis, and that bright and brittle outer layer chips off to…
It’s meant to be deployed in medium to high wind-speed regions and is particularly suitable for typhoon-prone sites. It comes equipped with active anti-typhoon technology capable of withstanding Category 17 typhoons (56.1-61.2 m/s), the most severe typhoon level. The massive wind turbine offers flexible power ratings ranging from 18.X to 20 MW and rotor diameters…
The uncrewed New Shepard 24 test flight will refly the science payloads that were aboard the New Shepard 23 flight, which experienced an engine nozzle failure at 1 minute and 4 seconds following liftoff in September 2022. The capsule’s emergency escape system performed as intended, rapidly pulling the spacecraft away from the disintegrating rocket and…
These are lessons I learned from Seth a loooooong time ago. I’ve put them into play with 2 businesses and they are now my guiding principles in marketing.
…if Kyiv and Moscow had reached a deal, which could have happened if it were not for Western interference, Ukraine today would control a greater share of territory. As he writes, “Russia and Ukraine were involved in serious negotiations to end the war in Ukraine right after it started on 24 February 2022”. Regarding that,…
The Barnum effect is our tendency to apply personal meaning to statements that could apply to many people. https://sketchplanations.com/the-barnum-effect
From my personal experience… this is where the current GenAI tools shine It’s understandable that some writers and historians think of generative AI as a competitor. After all, AI-produced books are already showing up on Amazon. It’s only a matter of time before the first AI-generated YouTube series takes off — and the first #1…
Every step of prevarication is a step closer to guillotines #justsayin For the past two weeks, the world’s best and brightest have been meeting in Dubai — under a glittering, color-changing dome built to resemble Islamic geometric art — as the petrostate hosts the United Nations’ latest climate change conference. And experts are calling bull. In interviews with The…
“Based on what little information we have, I think the Shenlong [Chinese spaceplane] and the X-37B are likely doing many of the same missions,” Brian Weeden, Director of Program Planning at the Secure World Foundation, told SpaceNews. “That is, primarily being used for experimenting and testing new technologies, sensors, and perhaps even operational practices. “I think…
NASA’s Voyager 1 probe has been cruising into distant space for 46 years old — and some of that advancd age is apparently showing. As NASA explained in a blog update, one of the pioneering probe’s computers, known as its flight data system (FDS), is “not communicating properly.” Because of these translation issues, the craft launched during…
Chekov’s Phaser :cheffy_kiss: When a tech company designs a device for remote, irreversible, nonconsensual downgrades, they invite both external and internal parties to demand those downgrades. Like Pavel Chekov says, a phaser on the bridge in Act I is going to go off by Act III. Selling a product that can be remote, irreversibly, nonconsensually downgraded inevitably results in…
