I'm not very informed on SpaceX plans, but one thing I think people gloss over is how much maintenance a data center requires. Parts fail, computers get stuck on crash loops, etc. A space data center would need workers - computer people, not astronauts - and a constant supply of parts tob replace hardware. Whoever wrote this proposal doesn't understand neither space nor data centers.
Only read the title. Going by it: you could also kill me with a kitchen knife, your car, a bat (if you're fit), multiple types of poison, a homemade firebomb, etc.
I hope you're right, but I don't think you are. I think soon the AI will do it for us. We've not yet reached diminishing returns, no matter what contrarians are saying. Just compare using Claude code today vs last year.
Orange and apples... China has very intentional policy behind those decisions. The US... Not so much. I don't buy that Trump and his whole cabinet are as dumb as they look, but they are only motivated by profit. And ignorance.
This doesn't seem to even relate to the question. How am I suppose to out the Israeli government to my local police? Or the miriad entities that support it?
If the latest Gaza war taught us anything, is that UN is powerless. And, unfortunately, it is the highest entity that could apply leverage here, so... Not much we can do. In the long term I hope other nations realize they are very vulnerable and begin to invest more in defense, but that escalation can have other downsides.
I think that all this people defending this post have no idea that this rationale can cause. I'm sitting at a codebase that has the same code for iterating copied around 20 times.
As a senior I will tell you to dedup whether I can to avoid this shit.
