Well, this reminds me of a joke:
Russia invades Ukraine.
Every country: World War 3?!
German: No, it is not World War 3.
Israel attacks Iran.
Every country: World War 3?!
German: No, it is not World War 3.
Someone: How can you be so sure?
German: Because we haven’t entered it yet.
Yeah, I saw some people speculating GPT-5 is having worse performance in some tasks than older models but still being forced to everyone because it’s a consolidation and cost cutting version, but how could it be cutting costs if it consumes 8 times more power?

When are they returning to Europe?

Fun fact, because of the political power evangelicals keep gaining in Brazil, we say they are transforming our country into “Evangelistan”
Hmm. If a city had some system of central heating, would a data center’s waste heat be used during winter months? I’ve heard of projects to use abandoned mines flooded with water as a sort of thermal battery, could that also be a solution?
Real Steel.
Seeing this post made me realize I have fallen for this trap already.
I absolutely hate this headline. They NEVER were stranded. Let me repeat. They NEVER were stranded in the ISS.
They went up to the station to test the Boeing Starliner capsule, which because of issues in the thrusters during the approach to the station, was deemed too risky to send the two astronauts back. The capsule returned empty, and it could have brought the astronauts with no issues, but NASA opted for safer than sorry, avoiding to repeat the Columbia space shuttle disaster.
But even then, Butch and Suni were not stranded. The capsule of the ongoing crew expedition was prepared with two extra seats in case of emergency evacuation, and the two astronauts were enrolled into the next crew expedition, with the Crew 9 capsule carrying only two out of four crew members, as the two in the station replaced two which would have been launched from Earth.
Elon offered to launch an empty capsule to fetch the two “stranded” astronauts, for the measley sum of $500 Million, but the Biden administration deemed it cheaper to have the astronauts to take the place of two others from the Crew 9 expedition, which in my opinion is a great display of government efficiency.
Now, the next expedition had their launch postponed, but Butch and Suni are not stranded. They are just waiting the people of the next expedition arrive before they leave. In case of any problem, even if they get home sick, they can get the four astronauts of Crew 9 into their capsule and return to Earth.
They are not stranded. As an analogy, right now they are waiting the people of the next shift arrive before they leave to not let the shop empty.
Ah, yes, the SpaceX method of rapid development and iterative design by… testing in production and making debris rain over the Caribbean, disrupting air traffic in the region.
I’m done with fanboys calling this method genius. “Oh, it would make the production lines idle for months”. Bullshit. Just make it right. Compare it to the Saturn V, it only needed one test flight to orbit and never had a major failure, and the Saturn V had components welded and drilled by hand, with 60’s tech. Oh, and it launched once every two or three months in 1969, just like Starship today.
Ehhh, in my experience, 1Gbps is a very good speed already, what would please me more is lower latency.
Great. First it was the Internet Archive, now Wikipedia.
I bought a metal tumbler for this exact reason, easier to clean and longer lasting.
