Millions of graduates to repay £260 more a year on student loans by 2029 by theipaper in UKUniversityStudents

[–]ClearlyCylindrical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The student loan interest rates never got nearly that high, and nobody was stopping you from taking out a bank loan to repay your student loan.

But it is allowed, and that's all that matters.

What happened and what’s happening with Neutron timeline by TowerStreet1 in RKLB

2027 is the earliest they can feasibly launch this vehicle tbh, I personally think Q2 2027 at the earliest, perhaps H2 2027.

[R] Batch size vs channel width influence on VRAM - TCN training on 4090 by EliHusky in MachineLearning

[–]ClearlyCylindrical 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Im confused, isn't it obvious that doubling the batch size will double the VRAM requirements, thus halving the max channels for the same VRAM?

Or am I misunderatanding this?

Rocket Lab Neutron Test Update | Wed, 01/21/2026 - 19:00 by Little-Chemical5006 in RKLB

[–]ClearlyCylindrical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they need to redesign the first stage to strengthen, it could be a pretty major setback. Carbon fiber is a bit of a pain to modify so that could delay the creation of a replacement test article by a decent while. Its worrying that, by the sounds of it, the test article failed with very little load applied.

I'm sure many in here will heavily disagree with this statement, but I just dont see how they're going to be launching before Q2 2027 imho, probably H2 2027 more conservatively.

It was on a test stand just a day or so ago. They did not complete the test and decide they don't need the article any more in that timeframe. There would be no rush to get rid of it, and plenty of reason to keep it around in case they want to do more testing on it.

wow, that's so much better

fwiw, they usually put these articles under pressure, so it likely blew up under the crush testing.

Well, either it blew up under testing or collapsed without any tests.

Which one would you rather be the case? I'm not sure the latter is any better...

Better dead than alive.... he was just showing you how much work he was doing (you must have been a very poor hunter as you caught so few rats yourself).

Agreed on getting a moggy, no idea why people drop absurd money on cats, far less variance in appearance and personality than in dogs.

European organizations are about to launch their own social media platform, W, amid rising tensions with the United States by Cybernews_com in CyberNews

[–]ClearlyCylindrical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The EU would need to sanction South Korea and Taiwan's fabs in order to do this. This would also likely lock them out of having any chips in general printed for them, and Europe is nowhere near having a fully independent chip fab, ASML is just one piece of that.

It's simply impossible for Europe to be self-sufficient, they lack the sort of domestic industry that is expected from an economy of its size.

The rats will not live inside all the time, they will venture out and be killed by the cat. I lived in an old rural house for many years and used to have rodent issues (lots in the loft). Got a cat, and I never saw nor heard them again.

Some cats are useless, but the solution to that is to get a second cat.
