I doubt it’ll ever be used on commercial aircraft, since they do have GPS and all the other things there isn’t really any point adding a yet another system. Especially because it requires cooling, if it gets too warm it stops working, and buy too warm I mean the temperature of interplanetary space is too warm. Basically has to be absolute zero or bust.
It’s not really an alternative to GPS. It has no idea where on earth you are, it simply accurately tracks your motion through the world but it has no idea where that motion is occurring, you have to start off with a known starting point, then it tracks your motion to work out your current location. But it is only as accurate as the accuracy of the starting point, if that’s off by 400 m then so will be the result.
It’s basically a very good inertial navigation system, plus this isn’t the first time it’s been tested it’s been tested on ships and planes before.
It’s not going to replace GPS for commercial purposes because there’s very few scenarios where you don’t have a GPS up link. But it’ll be useful is in situations where that’s not possible like on submarines or yeah in space. It isn’t like your car is ever going to use this though.
Well that’s what 3D printers are for.
Based on my All feed everyone on Lemmy is either American or, for some reason, German.
I only ever played beta Fortnite, so I don’t really know who we’re talking about, but I thought all of the characters were generic, I didn’t know there were classes.
I got to “she has to go to bed” before I realised that this was all the same day.
Trauma dumping can be cathartic but perhaps maybe don’t do it within the first two hours of having met someone. Also don’t do it too much because your problems aren’t there problems.
That’s because this is written by somebody with the emotional maturity of a 6-year-old, the body of an overweight 40-year-old, and the age of a 16 year old.
So they’re shutting down Windows 10 after telling everyone Windows 10 would be the last windows operating system, and at the same time as them doing that they’re telling everybody that Windows 11 won’t last very long either, and they’re going to replace it with an AI nightmare.
Great marketing strategy.
He fell over. I think they understand that that probably would have happened eventually anyway and that the AI didn’t really have anything to do with it.
There’s good evidence that homo sapiens didn’t invent the shovel. That was technology almost certainly taken from another human species, which suggests a fairly integrated society. You could imagine different species of human all living together, it is certainly behaviour that has been observed in other primates so there is precedent.
So this new change that will make me furious is that they’re adding Gemini to the speakers and changing some names for the voices.
Yeah I’m really mad about that.
The thing already doesn’t work anyway so I’m not sure why I would be mad about any change, they can hardly make it any worse.
It turns out that they did do that, we knew all along, and we’re ok with it.
