  • There’s usually more than 1 way to do something.

    Sometimes people get caught up on wanting to do it the best way, and then they just dont do it at all.

    If there’s an easier, less ideal, maybe slightly more wasteful way to do something, and its the difference between doing it or not, just do it that way and dont get hung up on perfection if the alternative is not getting it done.

    If its something that needs to be built into a habit, it might be enough to get you started, and then maybe you can move on to the better way in the future.

    Edit: just to clarify, often times the outcome is the same but people get caught up on the how vs just getting it done. Don’t get caught up on the best how if there’s another way that’ll also work that you will find easier to do.








  • That’s a little different.

    Items that can expire get marked down at some point during the day, but they aren’t changing the normal price of the item. If there’s 20 packs of chicken breasts on the shelf, 5 or 6 might get the sticker.

    There’s no guarantee that the one you have would have even gotten a sticker, and if you’re savvy enough, you might have intentionally chosen the pack with the earliest most recent packed on date, or gone late enough to be after the mark down time near the end of the day (at least where I am)

    They aren’t just going up and marking down the main price on everything, and its also always down, never up.





  • I just wanted to add another note

    Even if this ozone thing turns out to not be true, there are still all sorts of other things being burned up in the atmosphere that can have other potential effects. It all needs to be studied given the size of these constellations.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if 50-60 years from now, if there is a real issue, that it eventually comes out that SpaceX or other mega constellation companies figured out it would be a problem, and just said nothing. Much like how big oil new CO2 was a problem forever ago and hid it.



  • Ya, the economies of how much total space / material for the global network is similar, although lets say higher due to losses in efficiency in distributing it over so many dishes, but in terms of how big any individual radiator is and how much space each one is going to take, the smaller sizes make it easier to manage. Trying to figure out a 150-200m2 solar panel radiator is a lot easier than trying to figure out a 1km2

    The individual power of each satellite having to use a mesh network to train might not be fast enough, maybe they’ll still use land based ones for training, but no single person needs more compute than what a satellite can provide. So from the inference / customer computation side of things, it isn’t a problem.

    edit: I meant radiator, not solar panel

    edit: looks like blackwells can run sunstained at 88c, so that will help a bit more as well on size, the calculator now says 103m2 instead of 127m^2
