@sundogplanets @adambecker.bsky.social I have three non-techbro mentality/religion reasons for this:
1) Distract from Tesla's poor earnings
2) Distract from the Epstein files
3) Bezos says he's going to launch zillions of data center satellites so Musk just wants to nab scamee money for it firstBut yeah, also Musk is a moron.
@isaackuo @sundogplanets @adambecker.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy
Less of a moron if he's just going for the money grab, and could not care less about the planet. Which is the version of Musk that my brain envisions.

@sundogplanets @adambecker.bsky.social brilliant book and well worth the read. Every time I hear someone mentioning one of these tech bros being intelligent I want a copy to throw at their head. Maybe we need to start explaining to politicians that if LEO is a shooting gallery it means no more GPS, do they remember what it was like navigating the world with paper maps, because we are going back there.
@BenjaminKlein @sundogplanets @adambecker.bsky.social The GPS satellites are in Medium Earth Orbit, far above LEO satellites.

What the actual fuck. It's not April Fools Day, right? This is real?! Fuck you, SpaceX. Maybe this will help regulators realize how fucking shortsighted companies' plans in orbit are?
Surely the FCC won't rubber-stamp-approve this one??... ONE MILLION STARLINKS FUUUUCCCKKKKKK

@sundogplanets There must be something else going on. This cannot be what it seems.
Anyone with a modicum of experience knows the arguments in the FCC filing are garbage; beyond the enormous launch costs, space-grade solar is far more expensive than on the ground, and cooling is ghastly hard because you're in a vacuum.
Buzzword-based value pump for the merger? Jurisdiction shopping? Mental illness?

@sundogplanets
You can't have effective data centres in space though!
https://taranis.ie/datacenters-in-space-are-a-terrible-horrible-no-good-idea/@AlisonW There’s a reason those of us who worry about on-board processing spend so much time getting our code super stripped down and do all the heavy lifting on ground systems. Sheesh!

A subhuman moron. The only people who are dumber than him are all of those who believed him, bought his crap or invested in him. He is of the exact same ilk as Trump. A big mouth and zero substance.
America has a thing for big mouths. The Mar a Largo lips 👄 are a nod to that.

@EricFielding @sundogplanets @adambecker.bsky.social yes, but they need to replaced every 10-15 years.

"Launching a constellation of a million satellites that operate as orbital data centers is a first step toward becoming a Kardashev II-level situation"
THIS IS IN AN FCC FILING NOT A SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK I'M DEAD
That…isn’t what that means.

Yeah I thought this was related to Kessler Syndrome as well... TIL

@BenjaminKlein @sundogplanets @adambecker.bsky.social Yes, the MEO GPS satellites, GEO satellites, anything going to the Moon or Mars, etc. have to pass through LEO. Maybe Elon should think about that.

@sundogplanets Not necessarily. Keith Lofstrom's original http://server-sky.com/ design? No problem.

@sundogplanets China filed a request with the ITU for frequency allocations for 200,000 satellites. Elon said “ I’ll see your 200,000 and raise to 1,000,000 satellites. “

@jered @sundogplanets they know they'll be filthy rich by the time anyone comes at them with receipts so why not tell humongous lies? see also, scam altman's insane dyson sphere idea

https://taranis.ie/datacenters-in-space-are-a-terrible-horrible-no-good-idea/@AlisonW @sundogplanets I think the primary use use case for a ‘Server in Space’ is for Tax Avoidance. Think Cayman Islands, but in orbit. You probably don’t need much power cooling compute to stand up something that can be registered as an orbital tax haven for corporations to use.

@sundogplanets what a asshole fucking way to start the Kessler syndrome.

"AI" is going to be defunded soon when venture capital pulls out to cut its losses. Things will be very different when prompting an #LLM once costs $10. -

@drs1969 I think you might be right there. BVI no longer working as well as it did. Panama files ensured Panama no longer that attractive. Jersey,Guernsey etc in UK Channel Islands getting more scrutiny. Bahamas no longer okay since the Alameda Research scandals. The floating cruiseschip cities didn't sail well. So what's next? Space! Run a magic crypto satellite outside all jurisdictions! @AlisonW @sundogplanets

@Donutsaurus Ci ho fatto anche io dei ragionamenti in tal senso in passato, con consulenti professionisti del settore. Si possono trovare modi veloci per tagliuzzare un video lungo, ma alla fine... ha davvero senso? Se c'è da tirar su engagement e follower sì, ma in termini professionali non è la scelta migliore a volte. Alcuni formatori che conosco li han tolti perché finivan persino per danneggiarli.
Nel mio caso è un più semplice "non ci voglio perder tempo"
-
@francescotoniolo molto rispetto. Seguo gente che crea eccellenti contenuti di formato lungo da 10/20/30 minuti o più e siccome lo fanno chiaramente di lavoro vedo che sono sostanzialmente costretti a creare anche la versione reel dello stesso, se non addirittura reel multipli, perché sostanzialmente la piattaforma e il modo in cui la gente ormai la usa lo impone. Immagino che sforzo sia e che perversione del contenuto originale debba essere operata per crearli.

I social aiutano la mia professione. Senza di loro avrei mancato tutta una serie di opportunità lavorative. Ma non voglio che siano una gabbia. Ove possibile, voglio far quel che mi piace. Come fare interviste a un sacco di dev italiani o altri contenuti che guardano quattro gatti, ma sono i quattro gatti "giusti" con cui mi interessa interagire.
Mi sembrava un pensiero molto "da Mastodon" per cui son passato qui a scriverlo, invece che altrove.
Buonanotte

Mi hanno chiesto di far un reel/short (per un corso).
Ho detto che sono a disposizione per contenuti di altro genere, ma i reel non li voglio fare e ho la fortuna di poterli evitare. Ho cancellato pure quelli che avevo (escluso su IG dove ci son le collab).
Non mi piacciono, non mi escono bene, ci perdo tempo e mi sento falso.
Preferisco far i miei video lunghi su argomenti che voglio trattare.
Per fortuna non sono un content creator di professione. I social (continua)
