Not impending innovation is IMHO debatable - Artemis has definitely potential to motivate a lot of lay population & young people to go do space stuff and tech in general.
On the other hand SLS and Orion have gobbled insane amount of money that could have been invested to other science missions or even more efficient human space flight.
IIRC there are some hydrogen powered APUs on the SLS core stage, replacing the Hydrazine powered ones used on Shuttle (both on orbiter & SRBs). The solar panel control on the Orion also seems coo and useful, not to mention having cameras on the arrays for self-inspections.
I am sure there are more subtle innovations like this that would hopefully be useful on more sensible rockets and space vehicles in the future. :)
Taking aside you certainly can do radiative cooling in desert at night just fine - you have air, which even if hot to desert standards during the day is still by magnitudes more effective for cooling via direct heat transfer than radiating heat away in vacuum.
Yeah, some bits (parts of the GUI & some of the default apps) are still closed.
But I think there is a good chance they will finally open those now - never really made any sense to keep them closed and preventing the community from contributing. Rumors had it it was due to non-cooperative investors.
Not Jolla is finally independent again, so at least in theory they can finally do the right thing. :)
And the GPL makes it all work - as no single gigacorp can just take the whole and legally run with it for their gain, like they could if it was say MIT or BSD licensed.
So you have direct competitors all contributing to a common project in harmony.
Well, GPL is good but I think this setup would still be a local optimum for gigacorps, were it MIT or so. They are using plenty of MIT libraries, e.g. Harfbuzz.
It would just simply not make sense for them to let other companies' improvements go out of the window, unless they can directly monetize it. So it doesn't apply to every project, but especially these low-lying ones would be safe even without any sensible license.
Yeah, turns out if you want to train a model without scrapping and overloading the whole of Internet while ignoring all the licenses and basic decency is actually hard & expensive!
Yeah, I find this super rude - in this example, the author distributed the code under a very permissive license, basically just wanting you to cite him as an author.
BAM, the LLM just strips all that out, basically pretending it just conjured an elegant solution from the thin air.
No wonder some people started calling the current generation of "AI" plagiarism machines - it really seems more fitting by the day.
These are the types of individuals that become so left in the dust that they don't realize what's going on anymore, and it's obvious this person is already there. Claude hasn't been a "subscription for coding" product for quite some time now. That's how it started out and while that's certainly what Claude is known for, Anthropic has been pushing for Claude to also be a general productivity tool -- Claude Code, then Claude Desktop, Claude Work, and now Claude Desktop has Chat, Work, and Code essentially built into a single desktop app that just works wonders for those who are looking for a general productivity tool.
I'd not use it over pure Claude Code because I am at heart a coder and I want the raw terminal experience and there's some features missing from the "Code" tab in Claude Desktop, but just saying "a subscription to code", just goes to show how out of touch that person already is, and that's what resistance does to you when you try to resist making use of any kind of modern tooling or technology.
