Yeah, isn't a company world model just an operating model?

Haven't seen this on usenet so far. Wonder if its more torrent prone.

You're right on that perspective. I should clarify. I mean decades+ when compute and power begins to realistically make sense where we can start planning such a long term strategy. I personally think our cislunar / moonbase efforts are a better effort to put energy and resources into.

There's a very narrow band of sun-synchronous orbit with consistent enough sunlight to make orbital data centers viable. Even with a tight constellation of 500,000 to 1,000,000 satellites packed into that band, it still doesn't make economic sense compared to what terrestrial data centers can do. At 500,000 satellites you're looking at maybe 50 GW of solar power. Then factor in the lifespan of LEO at ~5 years you're looking at hundreds of satellite launches daily to maintain that infrastructure.

Now work is being done for increasing solar access (Starcatcher) and others are working on improving LEO refueling and repair capabilities, but I would say we're decade+ away from establishing any true compute infrastructure in orbit.

Almost feels like astroturfing territory

Circling the drain, but not dead

Fancy way of say The Woodlands?

Their Defeating Nondeterminism in LLM Inference was interesting for me. Worth reading their others!

I've always been curious about creating a collective pool of money - from subscriptions for something like this. The user only pays if they break their focus. Could even redistribute the pot to those who last at the end of the month/week / whatever.

One of our clients is a procurement marketplace. One of the current struggles we face is getting vendors to upload catalog details for each product, which our marketplace needs to populate for a better shopping experience. Would your API assist us with filling in those gaps on products? (think common office products, industrial equipment etc). The caveat is that we can only show products from specific compliant vendors.
