@cosminiuga @SawyerMerritt Probably light reflection from a transparent case.

@theflyingnate @X_atgku @DJSnM F9 literally can't do it alone. Every propellant would boil-off long before it reach the target.
English

Unless we get a stellar occulation of 2024YR4 it's likely we may not be able to definitively determine whether it'll hit in 2032 until it returns in 2028.
But, using mission design tools I've confirmed that there are launch opportunities that would work in 2028 that could be set up, and a decision made based on what we see on that date. Falcon 9 can easily put a 2-3 ton spacecraft on an intercept trajectory that arrives quickly.

@qizler @Yuchenj_UW @SaquibOptimusAI @deepseek_ai Hyperbolic use GPU from their suppliers, which has idle GPUs sitting around when it’s not in use. Think of Airbnb for GPUs.
English

Wow, DeepSeek-R1-Zero is the least censored LLM I've ever used.
Why?
It’s trained purely with RL, without supervised fine-tuning. So even if you ask sensitive questions about China, it will be direct and answer them!
We at Hyperbolic Labs serve DeepSeek-R1 and DeepSeek-R1-Zero now, both models are $2 per 1M tokens.
Hyperbolic will continue to support open-source AI, no matter whether it's a Chinese LLM or an American LLM!
Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸@pmarca
Right now, Chinese LLMs are much less censored than American LLMs. Will that change?

@flowstate247 @AIatMeta @togethercompute Continue.dev if you are not using llma to build the entire app.
English

With the release of Llama 3.1 405B, @TogetherCompute built LlamaCoder — an open source web app that can generate an entire app from a prompt. The repo has now been cloned by hundreds of devs on GitHub and starred 2K+ times. More on this project ➡️ go.fb.me/p5o0x0

@cbs_spacenews Was it the thruster that was already dead? I can't remember if it was OMACs or an RCS.
English

CFT Starliner: NASA managers have polled 'go' for the de-orbit burn; the NASA commentator says one of 12 thrusters on the Starliner command module failed to fire during a post-undocking test, but the thrusters are arranged in two sets of six and only one such "string" is used during entry; as such, the jet in question reduces redundancy somewhat but it's not expected to have any impact

@thebestbrew @cbs_spacenews The lag makes it hard to capture from the ground. After the capture, ground controllers take over so astronauts can use their valuable time for science.
English

@cbs_spacenews Great news. But why do ground controllers do the final berthing? There must be quite a signal lag.

Cygnus NG-21: The Northrop Grumman Cygnus cargo ship was captured by the International Space Station's robot arm at 3:11am EDT (0711 UTC), closing out a two-day rendezvous; flight controllers in Houston will now take over arm operations from astronaut Matt Dominick to pull the Cygnus in for berthing at the central Unity module's Earth-facing port

@johnkrausphotos @torybruno “Probability of go” - so chances they will be able to give a go for launch with the weather later
English

Still looking good. Weather holding at 85% Pgo. #VulcanRocket
English

The thing that goes unspoken, that everyone in the audience knows, is the architecture has ended up this way because of decisions by politicians rather than engineers.
One reason Apollo was a success because the important decisions were primarily driven by the engineering.

@nvdishappy ถ้าโหวตไม่ลับก็ทันสมัยได้ ถ้ามีปัญหาก็เรียกให้ขานชื่อแทน แต่โหวตลับมันทำไม่ได้(หรือทำให้เชื่อได้ยาก) คะแนนจะลับจริงมั้ย คะแนนโหวตจะถูกแก้มั้ย มันเหมือนกับที่เราเลือกตั้งกันนั่นแหละ

@KevinMNelsonUSA @elonmusk Something something NASA’s budget.
English

I was thinking more like a Hollywood set or a sand lot.
IDK and IDC one way or the other.
BUT, don’t you think it’s odd we could land on the moon decades ago, but haven’t been ABLE to go back since?
With all of our amazing technology, we couldn’t repeat it?
Multiple life-ending disasters since?
Sure. Seems legit.

@Marc_Topaz @SciGuySpace Starship test flight should happen before Artemis II. NASA acknowledged Starship instead of denying it as it is a paper rocket like before.
English

@infinityofdark @SciGuySpace Artemis II's flight does not involve a Starship, so I'm pretty sure he's talking about SLS.
English

@Marc_Topaz @SciGuySpace More likely because of Starship that is now part of the Artemis program will be a more powerful rocket.
English

@SciGuySpace Standard PR speak, taking ownership now that the thing actually worked.
English

@EAstrolope @CNSpaceflight Why are you even attacking the news account. China is moving for sea launch indeed. Old launch sites are there since war era. It is a strategic location.
English

@ramlaen1 @thesheetztweetz They could command to fire the engine, but it would be risky if they don’t know what was the problem.
English

@thesheetztweetz Starting to think they don't have a way to stop it from spinning.

@iamkingwize @SciGuySpace Video of a drop test. What's your point?
English

@MoonfyrePhoenix @tamarashit @AerospaceCorp @US_SpaceCom Because the same system cannot track any further. Also, the object get broken into pieces. But yes, if there's a big piece hitting the ground, it would have hit by now.
English

CONFIRMED by @US_SpaceCom — #CZ5B rocket body has reentered the atmosphere. Details below.
U.S. Space Command@US_SpaceCom
#USSPACECOM can confirm the People’s Republic of China (PRC) Long March 5B (CZ-5B) re-entered over the Indian Ocean at approx 10:45 am MDT on 7/30. We refer you to the #PRC for further details on the reentry’s technical aspects such as potential debris dispersal+ impact location.
