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
Takeaways: "Orbital data centers" for "accelerating demand for AI" (snicker). "This filing seems quite rushed"..."the details were left vague"Bottom line: it's an investor scam. The people who wasted billions on AI R&D are looking for the "greater fool" to unload the investments onto, and need a fantasy project to convince people they can still get in on the ground floor of something. Once the IPO is through collecting gullible people's cash, their mission is accomplished.

@utf_7 @troed @sundogplanets, my thoughts are on the biggest resource consumption of a datacenter: Cooling and Energy, which is very taxing right now on our existing capabilities.
We'd shift from constant CO2 emitting energy consumption on earth to solar in space and move away from using fresh water for cooling, which is becoming more and more scarce.
The point is that it's _really difficult_ to remove heat in space. Those datacenters will need to run at _much_ slower speeds than datacenters on Earth.

@sundogplanets did they solved the cooling problem?

@sundogplanets ... what the fuck does that even mean? I know I could search for it, but I'm not sure I want that in my search history.

@sundogplanets Starlink is going to launch a satellite cell phone service, also most airlines are switching to Starlink internet service, so I think it is natural that they will need a lot more satellites. Starship is going to be able to deliver them into orbit.

@sundogplanets I thought the Dyson sphere was supposed to go around the Sun, not around the Earth ...

@sundogplanets did someone just finish reading @cstross 's _accelerando_ and decide it wasn't featuring future earth as a dystopia?

@deborahh @sundogplanets long at times. And kinda weirdly chunked up. But enjoyable
@PalmAndNeedle @deborahh @sundogplanets I was a big fan but 7 Eves turned me off: dopey biological determinism leading to sexism & racism...

@sundogplanets That's something like 17,000 falcon 9 launches... they did 606 last year.

Bezos: Oh yeah? Well AWS will put TWO million data centers in orbit!
China: Let 5 million space data centers bloom!
Musk: Well, then SpaceX will put TEN million centers in orbit!
Bezos: Fine! ELEVENTY million AWS centers!
Musk: Hah! TWELVETY million SpaceX centers! Each with a cool robot!
Bezos: Meh-meh-meh-robot-meh. Amazon has robots.
Musk: But not COOL robots.

@sundogplanets
Seems they're (intentionally?) confusing Kardashiev and Kessler -

@sundogplanets if they speak of datacenters - I imagine them to be much larger than starlink satellites and they would need a lot of energy. I guess they will have huge solar panels.
This is bat-shit crazy if true.

Typical SpaceX Starlink communications satellites are roughly the size of a table or small car, weighing between 570 lbs (260 kg) for earlier models and up to 1,630+ lbs (740+ kg) for newer "V2 Mini" versions. They measure approximately 2.8 to 3.2 meters long, 1.4 to 1.6 meters wide, and are thin, designed for flat-packing in Falcon 9 rockets.
@Chancerubbage @sundogplanets @Barbramon1 Most importantly, there are far too many of them already.

@rms We are in an escalating cognitive war — beyond propaganda and consent manufacturing.
It rewrites the narrative of contexts with one goal: empty them of meaning and destabilize them through informational noise.
It doesn't need to convince you.
It just needs to orient and deviate your perception.

Due turiste prendolo il sole in una spiaggia alle Mauritius. Ad un certo punto, dal mare emerge un aitante autoctono completamente nudo.
Una delle due turiste all'amica: ma guarda che bigolo!
Il nero: è bigolo berghé è bagnado!

@jerzone the pull tab > pop top was I think motivated by the idea of reducing litter, you didn't end up with a spicy little bit to chuck out your window. Modern plastic is another mess.
I try to drink my coffee from my travel mug, and water from my bottle, but I do love a fresh bottle or can of seltzer.

https://blog.fabiomanganiello.com/reply/unlisted-posts
The latest version of #madblog introduces a separate page, under /unlisted, for posts that the author can send to the Fediverse (or simply keep in a separate area of their blog) without publishing them on the index.
This is useful for quick thoughts and interactions. Worth enough to mention, but not enough to deserve their own dedicate article on the blog frontpage.
To create an unlisted post, simply create a Markdown file under /replies/ with no like-of and reply-to metadata headers:
cd $MADBLOG_DATADIR mkdir -p replies cat <<EOF > replies/unlisted-post.md # My first unlisted post I thought that it'd be cool to share with my followers on Mastodon that now I can trace likes and replies with git bisect. I'll also tag @friend@nerds.tech because he'll probably think it's cool. EOFSave the file, then you will find your post on the /unlisted page.
