For those who don't know - what is money? - 0 views

    When you finally get bored asking "what is love?", ask: "what is money?" There's of course a bit of propaganda, but one thing seems to be true - one day, the system *will* collapse.

Intel Shows 48-Core x86 Processor - 1 views

  •  
    Finally a massively multi-core general-purpose architecture.
  •  
    Well, nice, but I wonder how much cache per core will be available... With 48 cores a single memory bus becomes nothing more than one big (small? :) ) bottleneck.
  •  
    Apparently they have separated L2 cache per-tile (i.e., every two processors) and a high speed bus connecting the tiles. As usual, whether it will be fast enough will depend from the specific applications (which BTW is also true for other current multi-core architectures). The nice thing is of course that porting software to this architecture will be one order of magnitude less difficult than going to Tesla/Fermi/CELL architectures. Also, this architecture will also be suitable for other tasks than floating point computations (damn engineers polluting computer science :P) and it has the potential to be more future-proof than other solutions.

Following SpaceX down the rabbit hole -- The Space Review - 4 views

  • He then went on to remind the press that his company’s goal is to continue to lower the cost of access to space because high launch costs were “the fundamental factor preventing humanity from becoming a spacefaring civilization.”
  • First, two Falcon Heavy launches could field a return to the Moon
  • Second, a single Falcon Heavy could launch a Mars sample return mission.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Also possible with a single launch: a first ever human mission to an asteroid.
  • what effect Falcon Heavy might have on the costs of supporting the International Space Station. The ability to launch twice the supply capacity provided by the shuttle at something on the order of 20 percent of the cost changes the calculus entirely. So much so in fact, it opens the door for contemplating an entirely different future for ISS in which it never follows Mir into the Pacific.
  • Following conclusions offered by the Augustine Committee, the Obama Administration cancelled Project Constellation as unaffordable under existing budget limits, and supported instead the ambling, but cost-contained “flexible path.” If the Falcon Heavy is available, however, the rationale for selecting the flexible path—because it’s the only thing we can afford—simply doesn’t exist.

10 technologies that will change the world in the next 10 years - 6 views

    what's your take on these ...
  •  
    Most important news: Kurzweil postponed his Singularity to 2054. I think this is the postponed postponement of the postponed postponement. Perhaps it will happen shortly after the experimental proof of the existence of the hydrino state and of antigravity in rotating superconductors...

    Singularity is like fusion and commercial space travel: always 50 years away.
