With a heatpump the PV and GPU would have the evaporators, the radiator would have the condenser. You do this for two reasons, so you can run the radiator hotter (4th power and all) and because the refrigerant is a good heat spreader (better than pure liquid cooling).
With a heatpump, you don't want a thermal bypass, hence the isolation.
Space is not a great place to get rid of heat, but if you need lots of surface area any way for PV that almost solves itself.
Because it's not 10x. If you cool the solar panels (which aren't black body absorbers for longer wavelengths) and GPUs to 80C through a heatpump and have the blackbody radiator at 120C it will approximately work out, 1:1.
Avoid it as much as possible. They'll circle the earth around an axis approximately in line with the earth-sun vector. In practice they might see some eclipse, but only for a small percentage of their orbit.
The inner side of the radiator would be metallized, an anti black body. Together with a bit of vacuum it would thermally be quite far from the PV&GPU. Thermal insulation is easy in space.
You don't put it in a standard orbit, you put it in a polar orbit with near 100% suntime ... obviously.
Obviously you use the backside of the massive area of PV you need, for an equally massive area for HOPG radiator films with condensor coils (because obviously you use heatpumps for cooling, not pure liquid).
Consider the obvious ways you'd actually do it, not the most naive ways.
The GPU pods obviously won't weigh the same as a terrestrial rack. Space based solar arrays obviously don't weigh the same as your hail and storm resistant panels on your roof (see ROSA, but there might be another 10x weight reduction if using flexible solar in tension from rotation). Noone cares about a couple 100 ms extra for first token.
Solar wind and drag are in my opinion the biggest issue. Problem : it's a giant surface catching drag and solar wind. Solution : it's a giant solar sail. Controlling the angle of PV for useful thrust, that's never really been done for a satellite.
It's not meant as a workstation/tinkering system, the card without networking is not the main aim. If you're willing to pay 4k for 96GB, just get 3 with networking.
That said, it missed the boat on MoE. The future is two tiered memory systems, NVIDIA has already announced they are doing that. Ideally these cards should have 4-8 DIMM slots for a couple channels of DDR5.
That would also make them far more useful for workstations/tinkering.
Is Rasmussen really in favour of a GoF ban and destroying the academic value of the background of the majority of her professional friends in the field? Cause I can't really find her calling for a ban, quite the opposite really.
This is the problem with virology, it IS GoF. Expecting virologists to be objective in this is expecting the impossible, like expecting the WHO to apologize for sending Daszak as head of the fact finding mission. They were either THAT incompetent or THAT self interested in maintaing GoF/virology, damn the truth.
I suspect virologists still see themselves as guards on the wall and that we can't handle the truth. Which we already know from the early emails is how they thought early on, why should I assume their propensity for dishonesty has changed?
