Reports from Bloomberg and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is Apple will announce the first ARM processor at WWDC, and that the first Mac models to feature ARM CPUs will be a next-generation 13.3-inch MacBook Pro and a new redesigned iMac. The Mac models will offer performance improvements of 50-100% over Intel predecessors. The transition timeline proposed …
Bret Weinstein was interviewed on the Joe Rogan show and Bret claimed that the breeding protocols and telomeres of lab mice are broken. Bret claims that this problem is so severe that it calls into question the safety and correctness of decades of pharmaceutical studies.
Marc Handley has a technical analysis of how ground stations and idle user terminals can be used to relay Starlink and can eventually halve the latency across the United States. However, even the minimum coverage configuration and a few hundred ground station terminals would let SpaceX prove lower than 100 millisecond latency. Marc has run …
SpaceX has a fleet of three prototype Starships (SN5, SN6, and SN7). The SN5 and SN6 bodies are fully stacked. The SN7 has survived a 7.6 bar pressure test. Elon indicates that the 304L steel alloy performs better than the 301 steel. A failure of the 304L led a lead instead of burst. In 6 …
There are concerns that Technological Singularity and Artificial General Super Intelligence (AGSI) will change the rate of progress beyond human comprehension. There are concerns that humans will be dominated and be at the mercy of true artificial superintelligence. I will say that things are not on track for key details of AI becoming insanely powerful …
Xenon Experiments have detected a bunch of energy events in the 1-7 kilovolt data, which could be an indication of dark matter or contamination of their experiments. There are three possibilities for the readings: It could be axions which are particles that theoretically make up dark matter; It could be neutrinos which are particles that …
Intel is still mostly on 14 nanometer while TSMC and AMD are at 7 nanometer chips. Intel will continue to advance its fabrication technologies iteratively, so we are going to see 10nm+ and 10nm++ as well as 7nm, 7nm+ and 7nm++. Intel will offer 7nm, 7nm+, and 7nm++ fabrication technologies that will rely on extreme …
There may be as many as one Earth-like planet for every five Sun-like stars in the Milky way Galaxy, according to new estimates by University of British Columbia astronomers using data from NASA’s Kepler mission. To be considered Earth-like, a planet must be rocky, roughly Earth-sized and orbiting Sun-like (G-type) stars. It also has to …
OpenAI created a language generator. They trained it on Github code. It used unsupervisored learning to learn to generate python code. Software code generators have been around for over fifty years. It is unclear how capable and flexible the new deep learning code generators are and will become. OpenAI previously created language generators to write …
The eleventh launch of Starlink is scheduled for early July. Gwynn Shotwell says that after 12-14 launches, SpaceX will begin selling commercial service. This means that SpaceX should be going commercial with Starlink service in September of this year. SpaceX called the last launch (June 13) SL-9. SpaceX has scheduled SL-10 on June 23. SL-11 …
Elon Musk says SpaceX has to improve 1000% to 10000% over Falcon 9 to get to what Starship needs to be. $10 million is the cost of the Falcon 9 upper stage. Using helium and jet fuel makes Falcon 9 more expensive. Recovering the Falcon 9 booster and recovering the fairings also adds costs. It …
