This is interesting.

They apparently both went in the drink but came out intact. Since he's saying they'll use it for Starlink, that implies that it'll be a little bit of an experiment to see if they still perform well. Still, always cool to see all the little things they're working on.

Cool resource. I'll add it to the OP.

Update?

Just a wet fart.

Glad to see. I’ve seen a lot of very smart women develop algorithms not get their due.

Technically, Katie Bouman was only one scientist out of many hundreds that worked on that project. She's getting all the credit because of an incorrect tweet claiming she "Single handedly" wrote the algorithm. But that couldn't be further from the case. Out of the ~900,000 lines of code for the algorithm, Katie only wrote about 2,000 lines. She just happened to be featured in a photo and the media has run with it.

Also... somebody tell Nancy it's "STEM" not "STEAM."

They added arts in for some reason, so now it's STEAM.

Stem doesn't cover the feelings/creative side that libs so desperately cling to like the right clings to their guns. Steam does.

No you haven’t.

You guys are ruining my perfectly politics-free thread. :sulk:
