NASA claims the Art. 2 reentry will be the fastest crew entry ever at "about 25000 mph" (i.e. somewhere in the range 10.95 to 11.40 km/s). However the Horizons trajectory for Art2 appears to give 11.06 km/s (inertial) while Apollo...

It's legitimate to point out the carbon emissions of AI data centers. And there is also much unfair distortion and near hysteria. Anti-AI articles and posts get great traction, so the incentives are to bash AI.
This is one of the most fascinating and under-appreciated figures of the recent IPCC AR6 report (Figure 6.16). It shows the effects of a single year of emissions after 10 and 100 years, and really illustrates the difference between stock...
I was interviewed about a study of GH001, vaporized 5-MeO-DMT, for treatment-resistant depression. I commented that, while promising and encouraging, the thing that popped out to me was the almost complete lack of placebo response in the placebo group. Even...
