  • I don’t think it makes any sense either:

    • Cooling will be large and expensive as hell
    • Getting computers there will be expensive
    • Getting solar cells there will be expensive
    • The radiolink to earthbound networks will be expensive and slow

    The only positive is that the energy will be cheap, and that the computers are safe except from nation state actors and untracked space debris.

    I lean towards this being a narrative for the markets. Space Exploration Technologies Corp. claimed a 370 billion USD total addressable market (TAM) in space enabled solutions, and a 26.5 trillion USD TAM for AI in their S-1 filing before going public. They state within that their goal over time is to launch 100 gigawatts of compute to space each year.

    By making the claim that this would be worthwhile they present themselves as uniquely positioned to profit from this situation. Moreso than other AI compute companies or other rocket launch companies.

    Hahah that’s great.

    Hm this is Sim City 2000, no? I wonder if I played this. I think it looks a little more like Roller Coaster Tycoon than the one I remember. Maybe I played Sim City 3000.

    Or I mixing everything up with Industriegigant. Help, I’m getting older.



  • The only use for machine learning I have is translation software, which was getting pretty good already before the LLM hype. Assuming I’d get that back at the pre-hype levels I’d have zero impact.

    I only use it for checking how it would propose to formulate a sentence in French, but then I write my own anyway. Since it would be weird to pretend that was my level of skill towards the customer. Or sometimes I translate back my wobbly French to see if I went really wrong or ran into some false friends (terms that sound similar among the languages but have different meaning).

    It’s like consulting the Chess Engine for the engine move to me.

    If this software too vanished, then I’d just have to use the online dictionaries even more. And be even slower, but who cares this is only once every few weeks, anyway. Most French speaking Swiss are fine with English in text form too.


  • Yeah it seems to be a feature of the text editor, it already replaced the combination of input characters with the proper singular output character when I used the preview feature.

    For context: The footer of my home instance says that it’s running Lemmy 0.19.20 at the moment, which is the latest stable version. Milan Ihl is good about keeping us up to date.
