Starlink is killing Hubble
Something about this plan to move Hubble, didn't make sense. If the telescope still has 10 years of useful life, why the need for SpaceX to boost it's orbit now?
Well it turns out the main thing threatening the utility of Hubble is... wait for it... SpaceX Starlink satellites, which orbit just above Hubble constantly "photo-bombing" the images. Within a few years there will be so many Starlinks that Hubble will be useless.

trauma, bullying, anxiety
On my way home from work on Thursday I found myself giving a group of loud people a wide berth.
They weren't doing anything wrong, they were just enjoying themselves, but I felt so anxious being near them at all and I felt like I was back in school with a group of bullies coming towards me.
It dawned on me that I was reliving the trauma of my childhood. I know that the likelyhood of anything happening now is slim but it was hard to keep my cool.
AAAAA
@VeeTheGator REALLY outdid themselves! They did all of the texturing and mesh edits and now the VR Goon is REAL!

Hmmm, job suddenly has a time limit of sorts. The contract is due to finish in 2027, along with the closure of the building I’m based in.
Though I’d likely get an offer of being TUPE’d into the new company, I’m not sure I want to start commuting to Leeds again.
I think it’s time I start planning for a new career to coincide with that. 🤔
Microsoft's carbon emissions up nearly 30% thanks to AI
Company will require certain suppliers to run on 100% carbon-free electricity ... by 2030 Microsoft has increased carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 30 percent since 2020, making its goal of becoming carbon-negative by 2030 even more difficult, and it looks like AI is to blame.…
