We made history. On just our second flight, we became the first commercial space company from Europe to deliver satellites into orbit. Mission 'Onward and Upward' successfully lifted off and deployed payloads into orbit. A new chapter for European spaceflight. More: https://t.co/EQ8NvB6lEo
@_Suresh2@paulabartabajo_ Really depends on the specific satellite platform and what their scheduled duty cycles are. However nowadays you can get quite far with 25W ish, i.e. Jetson orin NX. With some optimizations, QWEN-2B-VL runs perfectly on that
the crew cried as they became the furthest people from earth, they named the Integrity crater after one of the astronaut’s deceased wife. i love humanity, i love how we go to the moon and we name that bright spot after someone loved. we name that crater after the spaceship craft that carried them so far. something about us being so small, barely making a dent in the universe, but still going with love.
dude i love when ideas from biology / neuroscience shape how we train AI systems.
> coined the term “pre-pre-training”
> training pipeline becomes: synth data → language data → downstream tasks
> synth data is generated using “neural cellular automata”
> each step is basically cell_state(t+1) = neural_net(neighborhood) which creates evolving patters
also if this idea holds true on scale, the future training pipeline might look like synth worlds + structured simulations to language + tools/RL (or basically what the thesis of “world models” is revolving around)
Belgium has so many goated ai researchers, might be one of the highest per capita, topped only by Switzerland.
This might come as a surprise to you mostly because, except for myself, Belgians don't typically rub anything into your face. They just let things be.
🚨🔔‼️This is the missing context in every 🇬🇧 debate about Brexit, the ECHR, IHT farm tax and Starmer’s behaviour.
Trump’s classified National Security Strategy (NSS) lays out a project that is explicitly about dismantling Europe from the inside.
And the targets are not random:
🇵🇱 Poland
🇭🇺 Hungary
🇮🇹 Italy
🇦🇹 Austria
This is the Orban–Meloni axis, the same bloc the Heritage Foundation, ADF, MCC Brussels and Project 2025 have been cultivating.
And what is the strategy?
👉 **Pull them out of the EU. Break up the bloc. Make Europe dependent on the US.
🤡 Make Europe Great Again by ending European sovereignty.
This perfectly aligns with:
•Brexit
•The attack on the ECHR
•Pressure on the EU’s migration architecture
•Far-right cultural warfare
•Deregulation of food, chemicals, farming
•Weakening the European Court of Justice
•Installing American-style corporate governance
•Dividing European states into “good” and “bad” members
It is the ideological worldview of Project 2025, Heritage Foundation, Claremont Institute, Ordo Iuris, MCC Brussels 👉and of course, Maurice Glasman’s quiet transatlantic work on “sovereignty”.
This is not about migration. It is about ending the EU as a serious geopolitical actor.

Imagine the outrage if the EU announced a strategy to pull four US states out of the United States.
That’s exactly what Trump’s team is doing to Europe.
They already weakened the UK and Europe with Brexit, and now they openly want Austria, Hungary, Italy and Poland to follow - to create chaos on our continent and leave us dependent on Washington.
This is not “sovereignty.”
This is foreign interference designed to break Europe apart.
Reject America’s far-right, authoritarian, poisonous bullshit.
Europe’s stability and democracy depend on it ✊🇪🇺
F*ck Trump
Het werk van Hartstikke gaat binnenkort letterlijk de ruimte in, want we maakten de branding en website van EDGX, de Gentse startup die AI-computers voor satellieten maakt!

It feels really bad to me that while humanity should be solving sustainable energy and transportation, we're building ever larger datacenters so that we can ask "pls fix this" in Cursor or ask for "a cow on a beach" video
It becomes harder and harder for me to justify it tbh
@ren_christopher So, in practice, you would advice to still apply and train task-specific models instead of fine-tuning said GFM's? Or when do you think we should still be using GFM's?
Trump and his American oligarchs are now openly aligning themselves with Putin and his Russian oligarchs.
This Putin-Trump alliance means abandoning our allies, supporting authoritarianism and undermining our democratic traditions.
Imagine supersonic flight with no audible sonic boom on the ground. It’s possible on Overture.
Today, we announced Boomless Cruise, which enables flights up to 50% faster over land.
We demonstrated Boomless Cruise during XB-1’s recent supersonic runs—opening the door to supersonic travel over land.
