@DoWCIODavies @POTUS @SecWar Nothing is more important to this DoW than clickbait ... what are you even talking about? 😂

@degenutz @theo They needed compute desperately - he had it

[🧊 Brant Wedel @bitbased]

@brianeskow idk ... he might buy more elections - which will result in more tariffs, inflation, and wars? 🤷‍♂️

[🧊 Brant Wedel @bitbased]

@bourscheid you'd have to sell your shares - or leverage them for that - which would freak out the investors that give you that artificial value anyway and cause a correction ... but a few billion at that valuation should go unnoticed 😂

[🧊 Brant Wedel @bitbased]

@creepswopethics @uavster it seems the overhang layer is a bit thicker - so that should help. If not - then you can always use more soid layers before infill.

[🧊 Brant Wedel @bitbased]

@creepswopethics @uavster even so ... it's only weak on that layer - you have a layer on top of that that can be more structural.

@Jarothz @JustinRoskamp @ZacksJerryRig Time is a factor here - and battery production takes years to scale. None of this makes any sense if time is not a factor. (If it makes any sense at all, lol)

[🧊 Brant Wedel @bitbased]

@Jarothz @JustinRoskamp @ZacksJerryRig In space you mostly only need solar, and panels are more efficient. And SpaceX specifically can cut launch costs to make it make more sense than most.

[🧊 Brant Wedel @bitbased]

@Jarothz @JustinRoskamp @ZacksJerryRig Yep - an issue that this is trying to solve is basically - we don't have enough base-load power. And you need 24/7 power to keep ai workloads running, so not cheap solar. And building new would be expensive - since you need solar+batteries (or longer lead nuclear, etc. power).

@Jarothz @JustinRoskamp @ZacksJerryRig the 1:1 and 2:1 I quoted before are assuming ~370K/205°F and ~311K/100°F ... but I'm not any more an engineer than Zaxk 😂

[🧊 Brant Wedel @bitbased]

@Jarothz @JustinRoskamp @ZacksJerryRig Right, the point is "doing it efficiently enough" is just a physics problem that any engineer at a major space technology company can solve in their sleep with current tech.

[🧊 Brant Wedel @bitbased]

@Jarothz @JustinRoskamp @ZacksJerryRig Jerry's mistake is assuming a passive system - with heat pumps, phase change coolant loops, etc (tech already in use) you can move and radiate the heat faster than a passive system. Worst case is probably 2x radiator area per solar panel area .... but 1:1 is achievable.

@ZacksJerryRig @davepl1968 it's a stupid idea - but not because of the math - but the only reason people are looking into it is because of energy constraints. Because our energy infrastructure is bad - because we made stupid decisions over the last 20+ years.

[🧊 Brant Wedel @bitbased]

@ZacksJerryRig heat pumps, exists ... takes some of the power budget ... but makes it possible ... is it a good idea? not generally, but the problems can be solved, and are solved on satellites already 🤷‍♂️

[🧊 Brant Wedel @bitbased]

@elonmusk What if you are responsible for the fall 🤔

[🧊 Brant Wedel @bitbased]

@DevinOlsenn possibly if you notice a stretch of ice on the road ahead - and want to slow down very carefully without regen - that's it 😅

[🧊 Brant Wedel @bitbased]

@Bobbbo03 @ZacksJerryRig @MeriwetherFarms Yes they did ... but clearly not for the reason the meme is explaining 🤷‍♂️

[🧊 Brant Wedel @bitbased]

@elonmusk You get checked - but you can't fix stupid (you never learn, lol)

[🧊 Brant Wedel @bitbased]

@Bobbbo03 @ZacksJerryRig @MeriwetherFarms explain to me why they let them enter Texas and Florida then 🤔

@brandon_xyzw A model can not be conscious, but I would say harness can be (we are proof of that). Just needs continual self-training / adjustment (we are close), and the mechanisms are not incompatible.
