Optimised #python in my notebooks for deep space mission analysis. Multiprocessing, ProcessPoolExecutor & cyice (instead of spiceypy) gives me 3m23s > 2.5s.

Err. Why has this not blown up here? Just read the thread, look at the photos of a possible 8 cm meteorite hitting a plane 😬

Double success for today's contact with scouts in the UK! 22 kid questions asked and answered, and they were able to see Jonny Kim live on station via HamTV. Thanks to SP5LOT for sharing this HamTV capture on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c-r...

Isn’t AI simply value extraction in such cases with music? The intent is to mimic, copy, or emulate while reducing cost and people, no? Very unlike the ML I use #MLsky

"There are currently one to two Starlink satellites falling back to Earth every day ... Soon, McDowell told us, there will be up to 5 satellite reentries per day." 😳

No, UK Government is not scrapping its space programmes. There’s been some confusion and bungled communications over the musical chairs in civil space policy and the UK Space Agency this week. It all matters less than the chronic lack of focus and leadership from UK Government for 15 years. 👇👇👇

"Today, we graduate about 9,000 electronic engineers per year, and if just 10% become chip designers, we would only produce 4,500 #AI chip designers in 5 years, just over a third of what we will need." #MLSky #AcademicSky < yikes > www.gov.uk/government/p...

Our CEO Paul Bate welcomes the news that the UK Space Agency will become part of DSIT from April 2026. 🤝 This is a major step to boost support for the space sector and deliver for the country, building on firm foundations to drive economic growth and national security. 🚀

Compare & contrast these headlines re: @ukspaceagency.bsky.social & DSIT. Many thoughts but I don't think the BBC article's main thrust vector is one I can share. Links: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... / www.gov.uk/government/n...

"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

I'm CC @pytorch.org 2.x for my pynq #FPGA board (ARM7) via @docker.com - I've clearly much to learn but when this works, I will feel quite good. Until then ... 👇

Measuring software latency through #gnuradio symbol sync is straight forward using the tag strobe & debug blocks. Just pipe out & analyse. Reminder to build from src with perf counters next time ...

The exact moment when HAKUT-R M2 lander signal stopped (19:15:33 UTC) transmitting. It also seems that the reflected RF signal from the surface stopped a few hundred milliseconds before the main carrier disappeared. More analysis needed, but might indicate hard landing. @scottmanley.bsky.social
