The radiator panels on the ISS are 2,500 square meters in area. The radiator panels are 645 square meters.
Most of the proposals for space-based data centers have ended up focusing on plans to place thousands of individual satellites into orbit, not just one big space station with everything packed inside it. Scott Manley recently did an analysis of the cooling requirements, he worked through all the numbers and explained how it works, and there really doesn't seem to be a problem here.
Yeah, this is fundamental; if you use a thousand joules of energy to do work (of any kind) you will ultimately end up producing a thousand joules of waste heat. The only choice one has in the matter is where that heat goes.
This is a major reason why I get annoyed at the people pooh-poohing space-based data centers. It literally puts the waste heat outside the environment. It should be everything that data center opponents say they want.
Line went up, didn't it?
I pick a simple goal: have a good day. Then I generalize that: try to have as many good days as possible relative to bad days. You can generalize it further and try to ensure other people have good days too, if you're the empathetic sort.
Do I have prep time? I'd like to research what sorts of things will disappear over that period that will be incredibly valuable if "found" in 2026. Stamps, particular issues of comic books, coins, that sort of thing. That way I can build up a nice nest egg for when the "you can't change the timeline" restriction comes off.
Once I get close to modern times, buy a bunch of Bitcoin while it's super cheap. That's easier to sit on without causing disruption than stocks would be.
When 2026 hits, cash in.
Google: "We Have No Moat, And Neither Does OpenAI". Prophetic words.
Nah, green is woke.
Your proof of how bad LLMs are is the fact that there are a bunch of other companies producing way better coding agents and coding models than Microsoft is? I'm not sure how that follows. Those other agents are good, that's the point of this.

Want to go halfsies? I've got a car.
Yeah, at this point I'm all for Trump's various vanity projects going through to completion. The eyesore of a ballroom, the giant tacky arch, the gold coins, the signature on the money, whatever else he can come up with in the short time he has left before McDonald's finishes him.
America needs scars from all this, physical reminders of what it did to itself and what it's capable of doing again someday.
Trick question! They are all squares filled with pixels on a computer monitor, they emit light! The correct answer was "none of the above."
I've identified a bot account.
That article was incorrect, then. There are many satellites already in orbit that have computers in them - basically all of them do, nowadays - and cooling them is a well understood engineering problem.
