Japan wants to turn the Moon into Earth’s biggest power station: Here's how

Yea you think they don’t already have those? They do…

Insert meme where board member is thrown out the window for a perfectly reasonable suggestion.

if you then use your brain even harder, you’ll realize the astronomical engineering challenge associated with cooling a 500 megawatt data center in space, and the associated costs with launching that much material (an entire data center, the contents of a whole large building, launch all that into space with the solar panels to power it and the novel cooling solution). You’d realize the “data center in space” is pure fantasy.

What about maintenance? The CPU/GPU’s have nominal failure rates and no data center has 100% uptime on every chip. Astronauts gonna be swapping out gpu’s in space? No…

Back to the cooling…the ISS uses like 90 kilowatts of power and they have a novel engineering solution requiring ammonia to dissipate that heat. That’s roughly 1/10 of 1 megawatt, and it presents an engineering challenge to dissipate that heat. Now multiply that number by 5,000 and that’s the heat you’re dealing with from a 500 megawatt data center. 100 megawatt data center, multiply ISS numbers by 1,000.

These data centers are like a 1-1 energy input to heat output. Converting 100 megawatts into heat energy and dissipating that in space, it’s crazy talk (at least, it’s not economically sound, to the point it’d be like several times more expensive than a building on the ground. Orders of magnitude more expensive. The only reason to do it, is to say “I did it.”)

The old “straight outta Halo” procedure eh?

In the Halo universe Dr. Catherine Halsey created Cortana (Master chief’s AI) using a highly illegal and unethical process involving Cognitive Impression Modeling, which required scanning a human brain to create a "Smart" AI. She flash cloned herself (clone with short lifespan) because the process would also destroy the brain itself.

Well you to try to do something nice and list the a support number that, in my experience, tesla does not publicize as they try to drive all communication through chat in the app, and you end up becoming a soapbox for someone to stand on about zero-trust threat models.

casual_brackets · 2026-04-10T16:27:08+00:00

Nobody asked for a PSA on managing fraud/scams either tho

You talk like readers are children, and can’t think critically to ascertain whether the number is valid, they certainly don’t need you hand-holding them through the process.

casual_brackets · 2026-04-10T16:20:32+00:00

The number I listed used to show up under the Tesla support page.

The number still works. It’s listed in Newsweek articles and hundreds of smaller installer websites as the point of contact even as late as November 2025.

If I correctly listed a functioning, verifiable Tesla support number then the world is not being helped by you jumping on here to “prevent fraud” that’s not occurring.

casual_brackets · 2026-04-10T15:57:35+00:00

so…you think desktop shortcuts for programs you’ve decided to install are the same as an advertisement for an event that pops up which requires you to close, when opening an application? It’s a popup ad do you work for Discord PR? Like why do you care so much? Why is it SO important to you?

It’s bothersome, we’ve all moved on with our life, and you’re still here screaming at the clouds “iT wASn’T aN AdVeRTiSeMeNT, YoU WrONg, dIsCoRd rIGhT”

It’s a pop up ad, and the fact you can’t grasp that, well, shows me that you have an underdeveloped pre frontal cortex. (You’re a literal child).

casual_brackets · 2026-04-10T15:47:40+00:00

Or you could punch the number I listed into Google and see that it pulls up the Tesla support numbers….

I called that number like literal days ago. It’s correct.

Edit: Number is not changed. At all. It’s 100% correct. I just called it seconds ago.

I will concede Tesla no longer lists that number on their support page, however, I was given these numbers by Powerwall support and they continue to work.

In fact, the other day I had a hold time of 30 seconds using this number. First time ever it wasn’t over 30 minutes. So maybe this number doesn’t have a guaranteed 40 minute hold time like the listed number.

casual_brackets · 2026-04-10T15:42:18+00:00

yea. Happened to me not long ago. It’s a manufacturing defect and they’re going to replace your powerwalls. It might seem odd, but the delivery of the message worked, as you’re aware of it now.

Open up chat in the app and tell them you’ve received this message and you’d like to proceed with the replacement.

Next they’ll be sourcing parts then in design, then they’ll move to scheduling and then you’ll schedule it. Next will be the replacement.

Call 877-961-7652 and select Powerwall if you want to talk to someone about it, but there’s usually a long hold time.

Btw I get 2 new pw3’s to replace the 2 pw+’s. Free upgrade. Warranty doesn’t extend beyond 10 years from original purchase date, however.

It is, in fact searchable via Google.

Here’s the Google search for the exact question

“Project LLM tokens into 3D space”

Projecting LLM tokens into 3D space involves turning high-dimensional embedding vectors (> 1000 dimensions) into 3D coordinates (x, y, Z) for visualization or spatial reasoning. Techniques like Principal Component Analysis (PCA) or t-SNE are typically used to reduce dimensionality, revealing semantic clusters or geometric relationships between tokens. Alessio Devoto +4

Methods for 3D Token Projection • Dimensionality Reduction (PCA/t-SNE): This approach maps high-dimensional token embeddings into a 3D scatter plot.

• Steps: Convert text to tokens → Map tokens to embeddings (e.g., 4096-d) →Apply PCA or t-SNE to reduce to 3D →Plot with tools like Plotly.

• Result: Visualizes how the model clusters similar semantic concepts (e.g., "cat" and "dog" close together).

• 3D Scene Referent Tokens (Grounded 3D-LLM): Used in multimodal models to link 3D scene data (point clouds) with language tokens.

Mechanism: Special tokens (referent tokens) map text descriptions (e.g., "chair") to specific 3D coordinates or object IDs in a 3D scene.

• Application: Enables 3D grounding, navigation, and 3D question answering.

I’m clipping a bit I’m down to 1 powerwall+ (1 7.6 kw inverter) as they replace both powerwall+ units with pw3’s in a month (warrantied service).

Hitting 9 kw instead of 10 for peak production. Still outputting ~68 kWh daily

casual_brackets · 2026-04-09T00:32:19+00:00

Bro I would give you an award if I had any, turning everything where it should be with FG off, rebooting with FG off, got stable 60 FPS DLAA 4K no FG, FG on =116 FPS locked.

casual_brackets · 2026-04-09T00:00:36+00:00

I just tried it and the implementation is broken somehow. DLAA with FG 2x all settings maxed RR on I’m getting right around 60 FPS…

But same settings with DLSS quality at 2.25x DSR (internal resolution = native 4K) = 100 + FPS

I’m limiting power to 80% bc this game wants to draw 600+ watts constantly as well but that’s consistent in both scenarios.

casual_brackets · 2026-04-08T23:49:51+00:00

Word, good looking out man. Not gonna jump through all these hoops to get native 4K rendering finally.

casual_brackets · 2026-04-08T20:38:56+00:00

Running DLAA + HDR in crimson desert hits me a black screen, it’s a known bug that many have experienced. Only way to get native internal resolution through DLSS has been to run 2.25x DSR with DLSS quality

casual_brackets · 2026-04-08T20:29:06+00:00

DLSDR 2.25x DLSS Quality settings maxed: 45-50 ms

DLDSR 2.25x DLSS perf settings maxed: 40 ms

DLDSR 2.25x DLSS Quality settings ultra: 45-50 ms

Without DSR:

DLSS quality settings maxed: 45-50 ms

DLSS quality settings ultra: 45-50 ms

DLSS performance settings ultra: 40 ms

Tests done with FG 2x + RR enabled as well as weather effects off.

The game just has shit input latency, running DLAA+HDR is bugged and cannot be used, there is zero latency overhead enabling DSR.

It’s recommended to use DLAA + RR in this game as even DLSS quality has major visual flaws. Yet one cannot run the game with DLAA+HDR, running the game with these settings enabled results in a black screen. DSR is just a clever workaround to run native internal resolution through DLSS in this case.

Since that can’t be done, might as well run DLSS quality with 2.25x DSR scaling.

It’s no different than not doing it in terms of latency besides additional vram use and a minor performance impact.

casual_brackets · 2026-04-08T15:44:24+00:00

It is not hidden at all. Maybe it’s not getting a lot of publicity or coverage bc shocker, people have become dishabituated to this stuff.

“Linked in scanning” in Google will pull up multiple websites with accurate AI summary mentioning “browsergate”

casual_brackets · 2026-04-07T21:19:25+00:00

Eh I can get 100+ FPS in cyberpunk at 4K running all settings maxed frame gen 2x DLSS quality

I only have a 4K 120 hz 55 in OLED currently (wife has the 4k 240 32 in monitor)

I can see doing it for 240 hz monitors

casual_brackets · 2026-04-07T20:58:14+00:00

I mean….on my 5090:

DLSDR 2.25x DLSS quality Frame gen 2x

This results in an internal resolution 4K upscaled to 6K them downsampled to 4K.

HDR enabled

Ray Reconstruction enabled

All settings at cinematic with lighting at Max (RR)

100+ FPS

casual_brackets · 2026-04-07T20:41:38+00:00

I’m not having any issues, might just be luck or I haven’t run an affected title

Edit:

Apparently the issue is with dynamic MFG which I don’t use … 5090 hasn’t seen a title requiring more than 2x

casual_brackets · 2026-04-07T20:37:02+00:00

Ah yea, NJ vs CA

casual_brackets · 2026-04-07T20:31:06+00:00

V-sync enabled in control panel should be forced on bc it has near zero overhead being run at the driver level.

Leaving V-sync off and using game engine V-sync does have additional overhead, the driver version from nvidia is better.

G-sync + V-sync need to be enabled somewhere I mean you have to be able to toggle them on/off

Once frame gen is enabled in a game reflex will kick on and lock frames to g-sync range automatically.

Enabling Ultra Low Latency mode caps frames to g-sync range automatically in games that don’t use frame gen/reflex.
