Lichfield Dean Posted February 23 VT Supporter Share Posted February 23 (edited) So the Odysseus landed then. Despite its laser guidance packing in. Fortunately NASA just happened to have some spare lasers on board. That they somehow hooked up to the navigation computer so it could work out what height it was at. What kind of crazy Star Trek nonsense is that? I can just hear Geordi saying, "rerouting secondary laser guidance to the navigation computer" now.

tonyh29 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 guess they didn't use Teams Viewer for this NASA's longest-running spacecraft Voyager 1 is sending information back to Earth again for the first time since November. Scientists have managed to fix a problem on the probe, which was launched 46 years ago, after five months of silence. On 14 November last year, Voyager 1 stopped sending usable data back to Earth, even though scientists could tell it was still receiving their commands and working well otherwise.

bielesibub Posted Thursday at 19:31 Share Posted Thursday at 19:31 Not sure if this is the best thread, I just read What You Shouldn't Know About Quantum Computers . It's a run down of what author sees as the most common myths surrounding quantum computers and quantum computing. Amongst other things, the thing that really caught my eye was that in the future there might be a QPU in future computing devices, like we have GPUs nowadays; obviously once all the challenges that surround the current quantum processing units (supercooling and the like) Quote For almost twenty years, my blog, “Shtetl-Optimized,” has been (I'd like to think) the central clearinghouse on the Internet for puncturing inflated claims about how quantum computers would work and what kinds of problems they would help with. That's sort of my beat. I never planned it that way, but the more hype flooded the tech press, the less choice I felt. Yet in all that time I never thought to write, much less did I actually write, a pithy book called “What You Shouldn't Know About Quantum Computers.” My colleague Chris Ferrie did. He's the same guy who coauthored the surprise bestseller “Quantum Computing for Babies.” Now he's back, with something for those babies to read when they're slightly older. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
