What is "a probe with AI" even supposed to be Like it takes a half hour to send commands to Mars or whatever, and probably 4 hours to goddamn Pluto. What the gently caress do you expect to see that requires a reaction time faster than half a day? What is the purpose of the ai and how is it different and better than a bunch of if/ else or humans running the probe? Is it because you need brain nerds who know orbital mechanics and will want to get paid?

Sleekly posted:would guess for deciding where and when to run experiments and basic navigation. if its sensors were fancy enough itd be handy to be able to navigate out of obstacles and pick a good spot for some probin i just... i'm pretty sure you need to map out your probe's path and commit ahead of time, so why would you not just do that "manually?" Why put that decision into the probe itself, if it's supposed to be a cheap 1 out of thousands probe? Just park the probes in some holding pattern, pick out your 10000 targets to analyze, and tell each one where to go? They should be reporting their findings back even if it's boring as gently caress, so you're going to be in some kind of contact... so which is cheaper, an "ai" + hardware + transmitter, or a transceiver that can also receive commands? Why would you not put the ai on a server here, and beam its commands to the probe? This whole thing sounds like investor bait with buzzwords like space ai nanomachine biology democratized paradigm shift

Okay bird thread. Two things I could use help with. Or not help really, just commiseration maybe? A place to just ask what the gently caress? Just a little over an hour ago, I was driving back from making a deposit at the bank for work. I just happened to look up and saw a shape in the sky. It's a beautiful clear day here in south western West Virginia, a bit of a breeze blowing in with a cold front, so just sporadic clouds. Anyway, I saw something. At first I thought it was a helicopter coming in to land at the local hospital, but the Life Flight is white and blue, not silver. Ok so what the hell. It wasn't moving or making any noise I could hear over traffic. Then it hit me what it COULD be, so I glanced down to grab my phone and by the time I was able to locate it, I had gone around a bend that took it out of my sight. In all, the time span was 15 to 20 seconds. I can't explain WHY I didn't feel a deeper compulsion to grab my phone before then, first it was trying to figure out if it was a helicopter, then it was just..amazement almost? Like I said, I flat out can't explain it. So after the bend, I had my phone ready, still telling myself it was a helicopter, that I would see it in the sky, smaller, but on its way in to land. But nothing. Not smaller, not bigger same size. Not a drat thing. If it WAS a helicopter coming in to land, it would still be visible. It couldn't have dropped several hundred feet in less than the 5 seconds or so it was out of sight. Even now, a bit over an hour and a half later, I'm trying to convince myself it was a helicopter. Or a wind defying balloon that I guess just defied physics and disapeared instantly instead of continuing to float along. I flat out can't explain what is saw. As best I can describe it, was a silvery rounded ovoid shape, almost like a football, with a vertical black stripe. I should have driven by the hospital to see if a life flight was even coming in, but it didn't occur to me until after the shock and dismay had gone. Second thing. My dad sent these to me over a month ago and I didn't pay too much attention to him. I've long grown tired of trying to explain digital artifacting and photoshop to him. Anyway, the best I can remember is that it was in the late night and he was taking the dog out to do her business and he saw a light over a nearby mountain. He continued to watch it, but it didn't flicker, it seemed to pulse. He went back inside to get his phone and took these:   ..along with a message of "See the shape?" Like I said, I didn't pay it much mind because I just saw the artifacting in the zoomed in picture. But then I looked and the long shot and zoomed in with my finger. The triangular shape is there BEFORE you blow it up or zoom in. It gave me goosebumps the first time I realized it and I called him back immediately and told him that yeah, I can see the shape behind the light. I don't know. I'm still trying to tell myself that it WAS just a helicopter and I'm fooling myself that I didn't just let the chance to take a picture of my very own bird go down the tubes. But God I feel so drat dumb right now.

just regarding the pic from your dad, i wouldn't put too much stock into the triangular shape behind the white light. Based on the shapes of all three lights in the image, it looks like they're point sources being blurred out to that same characteristic donut. that's a property of the optics. with the current focal settings on the camera you wouldn't be able to resolve anything smaller than that shape at that distance. Meaning unless that triangle is far closer to the camera, it's probably just a trick of artifacting. obviously i could be completely wrong, but that's my semi-educated take i'm not a photography expert but i know a lot about microscopy and the same optical properties should apply here

Barry Foster posted:"Former" CIA, yeah right I think they've internalized the concept of legitimacy as intertwined with security and CONGOV processes, to the point that acknowledging an entity with greater military force than the US government is some grand humiliation that will lead to social collapse Look at how badly many Americans have mentally handled covid or Katrina or the theory of evolution. There could be a fear that there will be some backlash. How it would play out, I'm not sure, but I don't think organizations designed to maintain the status quo need much urging to see risk in disclosure, even if it's relatively innocuous. One of my friends told me something interesting the other day which might be relevant here too: 99.999% of people didn't know about the Manhattan project until Hiroshima.

biggest bummer if uap are entirely local to our system. not because i wanna explore the cosmos, because obviously i do, but if those objects originate within our own system, the relationship we have to them is not some tabula rasa upon which like, starfleet can be built, but is a series of bummer rear end possibilities that, even if they're ftl capable, makes our relationship one that's fundamentally material, and if we aren't elevated at this point, after who knows how many years of sightings, it implies it's not in the cards, and we will be staying here. i know i am the least outwardly hopeful person here, but i generally hope for the best and let my anxious brain map out the worst case stuff, so i put more thought into that side of things. like an awareness of the possibility of bummer poo poo, while hoping for the best, just means good outcomes taste better and bad ones are easier to swallow
