This article makes me think about when humans will be on Mars. Mysteries will be solved by someone driving over there and looking at it "Yeah, its just 'such and such'". All the poor scientist dreamers on earth will have their puzzles solved for them. No more excitement in the hunt for a...

I guess another way to get past the ad blockers it to post your ad as a comment. heh heh

$8.25 million to create 171 multiple choice test questions...I picked the wrong line of work

Benj Edwards, stick to the AI journalism and stop practicing medicine! ;)

I was about to say the same thing. Considering the current economic environment my first impression was that they had to take it down or cancel it.

V1 of the starship had a single large fuel transfer tube going through the middle down to the engines. V2 of starship has an individual transfer tube for each of the 6 engines. The running theory is that once the liquid oxygen gets low, it no longer dampens vibrations in those tubes and those...

Yeah, I have European friends/acquaintances and it seems they don't have the same view of China that u.s. citizens do. I think BYD is going to be the global de-facto electric car company in the future.

I think, in the same way that new rocket companies should be developing for reusability, new designs of fighter aircraft should be focused on cockpit-less autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles. That is the future. Start now rather than trying to catch up a decade from now.

Regardless of what they look like, how will society change when people begin to have emotional attachments to the machines? Study shows humans hesitate to turn off a robot when the robot asks them not to: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0201581

I enjoyed playing Part 2 until the end.

https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript Contrary to what you might think, the Constitution is not a long read, and you don't need to be a lawyer to understand it. It reads like a set of instructions you would find in a board game. It's elegant and beautiful.

That's not the way it works. SLS is part of laws written by Congress. Only they can choose to fund or not fund (and determine what gets built).

Lars Blackmore (Sr. Principal Mars Landing Engineer for Spacex) recently tweeted : "This forward flap redesign consumed many months of my life. In theory they're better on all metrics - excited to see whether that holds in reality!" That dude is super smart. You can find some the white papers...

Ahh. Thanks. I missed the military part. That makes more sense. ... But also risky for Starlink. Like in Ukraine they have to be careful their sats dont become valid military targets. But that is a longer discussion.

I'm unsure why a country as physically small as Italy would need satellite based internet for it's government. Wouldn't it be cheaper and more secure to just run fiber? Especially since Starlink is not good for high density areas (from what I understand). Also, these localized constellations...

That is a feature, not a bug. There is a reason we can fool ourselves into thinking that shadow is a snake. Better safe than sorry.

This looks really wild, but where is the 'robot' part? How do I import the data and performance values of my bot? Maybe I read the story wrong.

HBO used to be the gold standard for entertainment. I have been a subscriber for about 20 years now (cable then streaming). It's just hard to justify keeping it anymore. If they ever cut Real Time with Bill Maur, that will be the end of my subscription. I'm barely holding on as it is. Put in...

We'll be just fine. The liberals will have panic attacks for the next four years, but the country will survive. It always does. In 2028 we will elect a new president. (of course the mantra will again be "this is the most important election of your life!! for real! this time its different!" to be...
