@gigaclear Are you aware that the workmen just cut the fibre in Hankerton. SN16 9JZ. How long does it take to fix these things?

@gigaclear are you aware of the outage in Hankerton (SN16 9JZ)? Workmen appear to have cut through the fibre!

In your opinion what is the biggest threat to humanity

@The_Colonel__ Good point, I have pondered this too. Grok says a 20m x 20m thermal dissipation radiator would weigh approx 2.5tonnes. So simple maths can determine how much processing power you can send to orbit

What about cooling?

Our TPUs are headed to space! Inspired by our history of moonshots, from quantum computing to autonomous driving, Project Suncatcher is exploring how we could one day build scalable ML compute systems in space, harnessing more of the sun’s power (which emits more power than 100 trillion times humanity’s total electricity production). Like any moonshot, it’s going to require us to solve a lot of complex engineering challenges. Early research shows our Trillium-generation TPUs (our tensor processing units, purpose-built for AI) survived without damage when tested in a particle accelerator to simulate low-earth orbit levels of radiation. However, significant challenges still remain like thermal management and on-orbit system reliability. More testing and breakthroughs will be needed as we count down to launch two prototype satellites with @planet by early 2027, our next milestone of many. Excited for us to be a part of all the innovation happening in (this) space!

@British_Airways what is the limit on legroom? My bum and knees are wedged in, passenger in front is not happy.

@DrJMMHall @roy_nathanson @engineers_feed But surely there isn’t anything suggesting the 4 triangles are the same size? The green square could be half the size and the published dimensions would still be accurate.
English
@roy_nathanson @engineers_feed not true. The pale triangles are right triangles and have a fixed area, known dimensions (30x40/2). Can extend with the eye 4 same pale triangles, just need to discount overcounted overlap areas

Mathematical puzzle. Find the area of the green square 🟩

@ToughMudder you know about the road closures for the Coronation in Henley this Saturday? is there a plan to manage the traffic?

@Avoriaz1800 Bonjour! Avrizou sera-t-il ouvert pour la saison 2023-24 ?

Charger left plugged in without a phone will consume 0.1 to 0.5 of a watt. If you left a plugged in charger without a device which is consuming 0.5 watt 24/7 for a full year, it will cost you 44¢ a year (at 10¢ per kWh).

“In his 2015 book Clean Disruption, Tony Seba predicted that “it will all be over by 2030" — a prediction that sounded a little crazy then, a little less so now.”
