Thermal System:
• 110 m² deployable liquid radiator
• Redundant pumping loops
• Integrated micrometeoroid shielding
• Deployable liquid radiators
Solar Power System:
• 150 kW solar array
• 250 W/m²
• SpaceX-manufactured solar technology from Bastrop, Texas
Architecture:
• Centralized compute module
• Large deployable solar arrays
• Deployable liquid-radiator thermal management system
• AI-focused compute satellite design ("AI1 satellite")
Elon: "The AI satellite is much simpler than a Starlink satellite. The AI satellite is essentially a lot of solar cells, you still need some laser links, but you don't have all of the super complex antennas that you have on a Starlink satellite. The easier one to design for is the AI satellite. It's bigger. A lot of this is technology we've already made with the Starlink V3 satellites."
@brivael Edison was brilliant too.
AC was the right choice back then, but DC is the right choice today, as solar, batteries, electric cars and computers all use DC.
Many years from now, there will not be much AC left.
1) Kill the two-point arc.
2) 70/45 shot clock.
3) Legalize box-style hands-apart body checks.
4) Liberalize pro stick and pocket engineering. A few set stick pockets (like hockey's P92/P28 curves).
5) Upgrade goalie gear to match the higher shot speed.
6) Keep the PLL footprint (100 × 60, 70 yds).
Anthropic’s last round was apparently a bloodbath behind the scenes. A GP at a prominent fund had dinner with Dario three times before their allocation was slashed to zero. At least four other tier-one funds got pulled at the last minute.
Their crime? Passing on the Series B, the hardest round Dario ever had to raise (led by Spark). In venture conviction is all that counts.
🚨: You’re closer in size to the entire observable universe than to the smallest possible scale of reality—the Planck length—by roughly 400 million times.
Let that sink in.
"This is definitely a car that the Chinese won't copy."
Former Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo doesn't seem very happy about the new electric car, Luce.
"If I said what I think, I would hurt Ferrari. We risk destroying a myth."
Key to winning:
Choose to be positive and grateful. Then, just keep at it. Time is the great compounder and will do the rest.
So many people just don’t have the discipline to stay positive and grateful. Then time compounds the bitterness instead.
