"I'm going to predict right now that this will boil down to "automobiles are not individuals""
A vehicle is literally considered an extension of your body, and this has been held up many times, starting with Carroll in 1929.
More recently, the 9th circuit put forth a ruling vacating a man's conviction because a cop merely touched the vehicle, thus triggering a warrantless search complaint.
There's a lot of case law that goes against what you're thinking.
"The blackbody equilibrium temperature at 1AU from the sun is about 278K. All satellite materials are fine at 278K because that's within the expected range of storage and atmospheric launch temperatures."
But that is NOT the temperature of something in LEO. You're ignoring everything else that adds energy to the system. Friction from collisions with atomic oxygen, down to heating up to temperatures as hot as 530 Kelvin just entirely dependent upon orientation to the sun.
As someone in this field, I don't really think this is a good idea. We already have issues maintaining proper thermals without turning the satellite into a giant light-absorbing thermal mass. Painting it black is just asking for additional thermal management budget and mass additions.
I scored a 68 on the VVIQ and I can watch my pupils dilate in response to me 'seeing' something in my mind. It doesn't have to be a bright light in my mind's eye, I can imagine something that would trigger a fight or flight response and make the same thing happen.
"That's interesting, how did you get that to work?"
Lots of registry modifications and .ini file modifications, and a huge chunk of help from someone who is currently making modern browsers and various modern software bits work under Windows98.
"I imagine you'd also need to somehow get device drivers for a newer graphics card to run"
That part is a bit more trivial thanks to unified driver architectures for GPUs. Not much more trivial, but a little.
"as well as for newer hardware in general if you don't want to be CPU bottlenecked"
CPU is the primary issue I'm having, indeed. Chipset drivers are the second biggest issue.
"Have you posted about this anywhere?"
And have Microslop banging on my door with lawyers because I show how modern versions of AI-slop-coded Windows are actually slower than older versions coded by actual humans? I'm good on that one boss.
I currently have DX12 operating on XP-x64 (basically consumer 64-bit Win Server 2k3) with some minor hardware recognition issues. I have many modern games running this way. Many of them run much faster under XP than under their officially-supported OS (Win10+) which is an absolute shame.
"Every gas station on a corner has the same price because it's a highly competitive market not because of collusion."
Huh? I can go to most any gas station-occupied intersection and you will always find two that match and one (usually a Persian-owned Chevron) which is consistently a dollar or more higher per gallon across all grades of fuel.
Anyone want to bet that much like speculative execution, speculative decoding is going to introduce a whole slew of vulnerabilities in the ways LLMs work?
I own both - there is a lot of work Arc's drivers need done to them to actually be able to use their supposed theoretical power. My GTX 1080 delivers more consistent framerates with less stuttering versus the B580.
Speed means nothing when you aren't delivering consistency.
Google Meet is trash. Camfrog from over a decade ago trashes it, Zoom, and any other multi-camera meeting room software. I was watching over 150 video streams at once on a Pentium 4 using Camfrog, and now you can't even have more than 5-10 before a computer starts choking.
Theres enough information here for enterprising people to commit blackmail.
The companies responsible for these lapses of security should be paying, starting first with investors, then the C-suite. That'll put a stop to this negligence VERY quickly.
Yea there's a reason I bin everything that comes from that site to my spam folder.
