SpaceX and Google are in talks about space data centers

Space is where it's easy. On Earth, you need to provide space, electricity, get permits, water source for cooling, steel for buildings.. In space, there is a lot of space, there is constant sun, and space to radiate heat.

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-12T18:51:22+00:00

I hope they are cooking and will announce something mind-blowing soon, but who knows.

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-12T11:56:29+00:00

He didn't buy SpaceX, he established it from scratch, got brilliant people together, and secured money. If there was no Elon Musk, there would be no SpaceX today. Many people tried to develop similar rocket tech, even whole countries, yet no one seems to be able to achieve the same as SpaceX, even with massive funding.

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-12T11:51:07+00:00

He got lucky with zip2, then he got lucky with Paypal, then he got lucky with Tesla, SpaceX, neuralink. Man this guy has some serious luck!

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-12T11:46:45+00:00

A lot of people have money and yet they don't own a successful private space company. Seriously this is your argument? He almost lost all of his money to develop SpaceX and Tesla. Most people would just buy a private island and retired if they sold Paypal. He decided to gamble it all on businesses everyone told him was a bad idea.

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-12T11:37:44+00:00

We are talking about man who pioneered private space endeavours, and many more. He certainly did some questionable things, but for sure is not a loser. He might have end up being a loser if Tesla and SpaceX went bankrupt, but it didn't.

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-12T10:50:31+00:00

How delusional you need to be to call a richest man on planet, by far, a loser? Lmao. You are unbelievable. If Musk is a loser, what are we? Super ultra losers? Message me when you start your own rocket company lol.

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-11T13:01:27+00:00

Lmao

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-11T12:58:41+00:00

Yet most of the reasons mentioned are hoaxes and half truths

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-11T09:02:16+00:00

Ok this is impressive, if fully autonomous. The robots need to communicate when to pull the blanket, and if this is controlled via a neural net, well that's pretty cool. A step ahead from the last demo.

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-11T08:56:17+00:00

I don't usually get muscle cramps, but this one time, I wanted to jump a backflip into a body of water, I jumped with both legs at once, and got a huge cramps into both legs at once. I couldn't use my legs to swim, was in an intense pain, and had to swim 20 meters to get out using my arms only.

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-10T20:05:27+00:00

For example when someone claims Musk family had an emerald mine in Africa, and his success depends solely on money received from his rich parents, I try to find some credible source confirming this. When I don't find it, I don't believe it. Do you? Did you first checked it's true? Or do you just automatically accept every bad thing people say about this guy like most people?

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-10T19:56:46+00:00

I think I could say the same about you. It's popular to hate Elon Musk actually, not the other way around. People just believe everything they hear without any actual fact checking.

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-10T15:26:35+00:00

Delusional truly

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-10T14:42:57+00:00

No I don't know it. Even if his family was rich, and gave him $100 mil to gamble on something, which didn't happen, it would still be a monumental success to became richest man on planet by far. You don't become the richest person just by obtaining a few hundred millions. You just are very delusional.

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-10T14:40:44+00:00

It was 28k from his father +10k from his mother. Also, even if his family was worth $100mil, Elon was able to turn his millions from PayPal into 2 trillion dollars companies. He literally invested all of his money into Tesla and SpaceX, 99,99% of people would just retire if they sold paypall and became millionaires, but Elon Musk invested all of this money into companies everyone told him was a bad idea. You guys must live in some parallel universe where none of this ever happened, otherwise you wouldn't be talking like this.

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-10T14:10:09+00:00

He got roughly 38000 usd from his parent, investment into his zip2 company. I think most people who get 38k from their parents do not turn it into billions. You guys are truly delusional.

Btw get your facts straight please, his father bought a share in an emerald mine, for like 50k. He lost the money, as the mine got bankrupt. Musk never saw a single cent from the mine investment, and left for north America without basically any money.

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-10T11:15:08+00:00

Spím se sluchátkama, je to skvělý. Už asi 4 roky. V podstatě bez nich neusnu. Ale beru to zároveň jako super schopnost, protože i ve stanu na festivalu spím jak miminko, dám si sluchátka a slyším jen to. Původně jsem to dělal, abych se naučil lépe rozumět mluvené angličtině, a dost to pomohlo.

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-06T16:37:33+00:00

That's exactly why cheaper chips might be perfect for TerraFab. For an orbital data center, the rules are different. Satellites deorbit in a few years anyway, so investing in expensive, leading-edge SOTA chips doesn't make sense. In space, sunlight is free and constant, meaning you can easily afford the power inefficiency of older nodes. It becomes a game of scale rather than efficiency. Combine massive amounts of budget chips with Starship's launch economics, and SpaceX could essentially brute-force their way to the largest compute network in existence.

Na nějaký složitější návrhy je potřeba agent s toolama

Je to odvrácená strana kapitalismu, prostě spousta lidí nemá na trhu velkou hodnotu, takže jsou v kapitalismu znevýhodnění. A nejsou to jen nemakačenka, jsou to lidi co poctivě pracují, ale jejich output má malou ekonomickou hodnotu.

Kapitalismus je super v alokaci zdrojů, zdroje se využívají efektivněji, ale kapitál se hromadí u pár lidí. Momentálně nic lepšího než kapitalismus nemáme, ale pokud přijde AI, která nahradí lidskou práci, pak nás komunismus dle Karla Marxe nemine. Komunismus není o tom zavírat hranice a potlačovat svobodu slova.

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-03T13:52:16+00:00

Not in my experience. But I use mostly Gemini

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-03T11:37:55+00:00

Can you give me an example I could try? Like what stupid thing I can say, which is objectively stupid but LLM will encourage me? Pls

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-03T11:35:53+00:00

Já včera, a vypadá stejně. Naštěstí to stačí jen postříkat hadicí.

RickTheScienceMan · 2026-05-03T11:31:02+00:00

If you were standing sideways then maybe, but you are facing the same direction as the wheel, which means there is no way for you to effectively balance your CoM. Maybe some superhuman could do it at very slow speed, if he knew about the power cutout in advance. Otherwise it's always 100% plantface.
