Would @NASAAdmin ever spend ~0.04% of this year's budget demonstrating a technology that would explode its interplanetary capabilities by roughly 100x? That's the 3D Plasma Magnet Technology Demonstrator ("Plasmadyne").
Key points
• The 3D Plasma Magnet Technology Demonstrator is a technology that could increase interplanetary capabilities by 100x.
• The technology is being developed by NASA.
• The budget for the technology is ~0.04% of this year's budget.
This reminded me of NVIDIA’s Deja Vu. Deja Vu repeats a single ~10M-parameter Transformer block K times and can approach VGGT-omega 1B performance. For 3D reconstruction, this idea feels especially natural.
Key points
• NVIDIA’s Deja Vu repeats a single ~10M-parameter Transformer block K times.
• The technology can approach VGGT-omega 1B performance.
• The idea is being explored for 3D reconstruction.
• The RTX Spark Mini PC is a device that can run a 120B LLM locally.
• The device is called "ProArt GR1X".
• The technology is being developed by NVIDIA.
We already know from @JOBhakdi and @CernBasher that ~3,000 Robotaxis is enough to show up in Tesla’s earnings and force Wall Street to re-rate the stock. But the stock doesn’t have to wait for the P&L. Imagine 1,000 Robotaxis in Austin by year-end, mostly Cybercabs, covering a large area.
Key points
• Robotaxis could show up in Tesla’s earnings and force Wall Street to re-rate the stock.
• 1,000 Robotaxis in Austin by year-end could cover a large area.
• The robotaxis would be mostly Cybercabs.
Watch us make history, yet again, at @WeatherTechRcwy. Live streaming September 3 at 11 AM PT at the following link: https://youtube.com/live/L_HBfhxSU Io?feature=share…
Key points
• The WeatherTech Indy Autonomous Challenge is a live streaming event.
• The event will take place on September 3 at 11 AM PT.
• The event will be streamed on YouTube.
The level of coordination is astounding. If this had been an attack where on the previous day a large part of Leipzig Airport had been destroyed, I would understand the next-day EU reaction of solidarity with similar words…. But we are talking about an unexploded, broken drone.
Key points
• The level of coordination is astounding.
• The EU reaction would be different if the attack had been more severe.
• The drone is unexploded and broken.
Nothing whatsoever to do with the Iran War? Or, um, the fact the CIA and the US military is heavily involved in designing the targeting packages and air-defence avoiding routes for Ukrainian attacks on refineries? Where do these people get the nerve to lay the blame on Ukraine?
Key points
• The CIA and US military are involved in designing targeting packages and air-defence avoiding routes.
• The targeting packages are for Ukrainian attacks on refineries.
• The blame for the Iran War is being laid on Ukraine.
The dozen did not leave. The crate man folded the unsigned paper and pointed at a thinner cable, not the trunk, a line taped along the rib toward a scuffed dish aimed at Earth. “That’s the spend,” he said. “Cut that, the hold dies.
Key points
• The dozen did not leave.
• The crate man pointed at a thinner cable.
• The hold dies if the cable is cut.
