@SirajAHashmi Michael Falk was their best reporter. His field peice where he interviewed the taliban and when he did a story on prisons were amazing.

@aaronp613 In Australia, it’s possible to get Netflix, other streaming apps, included on your monthly cell phone bill. So it makes sense to warn those subscriptions will be blocked if you don’t pay.

@g023dev @sean_from_earth @elonmusk Can it be done? Yes. Will it work well? No. Should it be done? Fuck no. Are there better / faster / cheaper ways to do compute? Yes lmao

[Damian Guppy @perthguppy]

@sean_from_earth And to those of us with actual experience with datacenters and physics, chucking a rack of gear into orbit that has no other reason to be in orbit is a stupid idea. Each of these satellites can hold a single DGX GB300 rack.

[Damian Guppy @perthguppy]

@DJSnM @luke_leisher_ How many floors do you think it will have?

[Damian Guppy @perthguppy]

@SawyerMerritt Sooooo each satellite can hold a single DGX GB200 rack? Lmao.

[Damian Guppy @perthguppy]

@varrock @MayaStone420 No, instead they have plenty of GRU. Same thing ya?

@techspence There is nothing more dangerous for infosec than the internal IT engineer who’s been in that position for more than 5 years.

@Hackasizlak @fujiotard @PonsukeTheSilly OpenAI tried to patch it out and that’s how the gremlin incident happened.

@T_Ocellus @DJSnM @DrPhiltill Ignight a crystal

[Damian Guppy @perthguppy]

@peolesdru @DJSnM @DrPhiltill And if you can see the future, even the slightest twitch indicates what move you’re about to do, so the other party twitches to counter, so the first party has to stop and reasses.

[Damian Guppy @perthguppy]

@DJSnM @DrPhiltill This kinda was the charm of the EU and Lucas pretty much green lighting everything. Any pothole conceivably thought of immediately spawned a whole campaign of back stories in the EU explaining why it’s not a plot hole

@kmart97 @Turbinetraveler The engines are getting so big now the bottom of them is always pretty close to the ground. They also sit so the leading edge of the cowl is significantly in front of the landing gear, so if the nose gear gives out they are likely to end up on the ground

@MatthewBetley It’s a fun movie. It’s not terrible like Batman v Superman. It’s not a waste of time to see it, but different people will debate if it’s a waste of money to watch in cinema vs at home

@PAXAus Being on level 2, the theater needs to be a bird

[Damian Guppy @perthguppy]

@juliangough @Andr3jH Matter-antimatter annihilations are pretty efficient at converting mass into energy. Also blackholes at the correct scale. But how to harness that energy is problematic currently. That’s only 180 metric tons of matter+antimatter for fuel.

[Damian Guppy @perthguppy]

@Jimmy01468100 @kaliphear @bigyeetnation @Andr3jH The different numbers are all from different observers. It’s the trick that makes all the math work out, different observers literally have different experiences of the universe.

[Damian Guppy @perthguppy]

@Jimmy01468100 @kaliphear @bigyeetnation @Andr3jH The universe literally starts to pancake in the direction you travel at close to the speed of light. By every experiment you will literally measure stuff is closer together. At 100% C, the universe becomes a flat disk with 0 depth. It’s all very weird.

[Damian Guppy @perthguppy]

@Jimmy01468100 @Andr3jH Nah, it’s all relative

[Damian Guppy @perthguppy]

@shotasaria @Andr3jH Depends on your goal. If you personally wanted to see the edge of the known universe, you’re going to need to go at 99.999999% C, but then everyone you know who doesn’t come with will be long, long, long, dead when you return.
