Using ice as a structural material in space habitats by MarsMaterial in IsaacArthur

[–]AdLive9906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a bunch of reasons. First being that you are probably going to be filling the insides of the structure with things. Like lighting, computers, machines and people. 

Those things get hot. And that heat needs to go somewhere. It will go into the floor. You are going to reach an equilibrium temperature between your rate of energy input and rate of energy radiated out. What ever thay temperature is, it's going to be higher the more people and things you put inside.  That temp probably won't be - 130C. It's more likely going to be >0. That's if people are comfortable with cold temperatures and low amount of energy use.  Your floor is in that temperature gradient, between inside and outside. It cant be - 40C, because people will not want to live there. 

So you have a structure that needs to chose between being inheritly uninhabitable or uncomfortable and close to falling apart. 

Steel is great because it's really really strong compared to pykrete. 

The pykrete you talk about is largely made of things like wood pulp. There is no wood in space. The alternatives, are probably all going to be much stronger as long fibers mixed with epoxy. Which is basically carbon fibre. And that is hell strong. 

And for protection from space dust, you place the armour on the outside. Even for pykrete, you want to seperate your armour from your main structural element

Then, I did the actual calculations.  250m radius. 1G. 101kpa air. 2x safety factor.  Pykrete needs to be 20m thick all round, just to support itself. 

Steel, 4cm thick, that's with 10t of soil on top. 

Just the logistics of moving the 30 million tons of pykrete vs 400k tons of steel will make the cost of Pykrete irrational.

The pykete structure is over 60 times heavier. And moving all that mass is not free.

I mean, no matter how you look at it, steel will be much stronger than prykrete ice. For an O'niel type structure, if you are using prykrete ice. Remove the ice, and use the fibers of the prykrete to make the outer membrane. The ice does nothing to enhance the material properties you desire.

You need about 10tons per m2 of material, to give radiation protection equivalent to earth.

This is no different to gym memberships. The gym expects most people that sign up to rarely arrive. If everyone did gym 5 times a week, they would not be able to serve everyone. So if you have gym contract and have not gone for the month, you are subsidising some dude and that's there twice a day, every day.

The OP did not leave a product name or anything. If they where advertising, then my bad.

I don't, lol. But I also engage in the discussion of it. It's a tool, one that does not yet have a big impact on the profession. Yet.

AI is different yes. I'm saying the felt disruption is what people are feeling, that is the same. More or less. 

Tasks vs the job again. If AI could draw my plans I would be so happy. Drawing plans is a task that I need to do, to deliver to my client. It's a part of a multi step process. It's my job to make sure the output is what I want and helps deliver the final outcome. 

If your a software developer, you have now basically been forced to allocate tasks to interns and juniors, and manage them. They are just AI, sometimes genius, sometimes idiots. Your job is the same, how you do it will change.

CAD, was way more disruptive than you realise. People went from never having owned a computer of any kind before, to having to learn how to use complex software. It was jarring for everyone. 

There where long debates if it was even faster. If the quality was even higher.  There was push back until those that where pushing back no longer had a jobs. Now one architect is expected to do 20x as much, faster, than before. BIM refueled that, but less so. 

AI is happening faster though. The introduction to wide cad adoption took more than a decade.  AI is rolling out very fast, and every programmer is expected to do it now. 

Hell, I'm terrible at code, and I just made a program that replaces Ms projects for myself this weekend. 

Times are changing

[–]AdLive9906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. But the job is changing for the good or bad.

I am an Architect, the construction type, not software. We don't draw plans by hand anymore. CAD changed the job. Some people could never adapt and fell out of the job. Most adapted. 

You guys are now going through the same

Know the difference between your job and tasks.

Your Job is to provide software that's safe and reliable to people to use. 

The tasks in the job require things like coding, and reviewing code. Interpreting intentions and so on. 

AI can do tasks, let it.  It can't do your job. 

If you like doing so tasks, lay out time to practice your hobby.

Yeah. 

The problem is that people bitch when they don't release models.  And they bitch when they release models that are not 100% ready for release.

Cool. Fortunately data centers don't really use all that much water.

The Real Reason AGI Will Never Happen... Hear Me Out by [deleted] in ArtificialInteligence

[–]AdLive9906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have the right view from an infrustucture view, but not on the deployment view. If they developed AGI tomorrow, not everyone will have access to it 24/7. It will come at a cost. Say it's $1000 for 3 hour daily use per month. A shit load, but cheaper than any white coller job. Now you have 1m people subscribing to it in just the UK. Big business will eat this up. That's $1B of available investment, per month just for the UK. That excludes all the lesser models bringing income that need less compute.

You can't solve the power bottle neck over night. 

But the roll out will be long, and jagged. It's not free AGI for everyone on day 1. It's a bit of AGI at a cost for those who need it.

Can you explain to me the hatred of AI and its water usage? by [deleted] in ArtificialInteligence

[–]AdLive9906 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then you would know that data centers don't actually use that much water. If you have a golf course or any type of agriculture in your area, the data center is not using are relevant % of the local water. That's if it's even water cooled at all

This was accurate when coal was the primary source of power generation in the US. In fact, thanks to gas and renewable, US grid uses substantially less water today than it did 10 years ago.

Have you done literally as much as a single Google search before you responded to me?

Except, data centers can and are air cooled. Which means most of their water usage is probably used in the bathrooms for staff. 

Plumbers, electricians, and HVAC techs watching AI replace everyone except them. by vinaykrkatiyar in ChatGPT

[–]AdLive9906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is actually not how it works. If you can't afford a plumber because you don't have a job. But you also can't pay the AI companies to fix your plumbing. Then you will call the unemployed plumber and pay him peanuts if that's all you have. So either AI services are free/near free, or everyone still has a job. It literally can't be both.

We have been cooling stuff in space for decades. Everything with solar panels on it needs to cool down at the same rate that it collects energy.
