NASA Finds the Culprit Behind a Webb Telescope Malfunction: Powerful Cosmic Rays

Posted by in category: space

An instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope suffered an interruption on January 15, and the likely culprit was a cosmic ray.


NASA and the Canadian Space Agency suspect that a cosmic ray strike is to blame for an anomaly on the James Webb Space Telescope.

ChatGPT Is The Fastest Growing Ap In The History Of Web Applications

Posted by in categories: internet, space

UBS research just confirmed that ChatGPT is the “fastest-growing consumer application in history,” according to research from UBS research just announced that ChatGPT. “In 20 years following the Internet space, we cannot recall a faster ramp in a consumer internet app. By comparison, TikTok took nine months to reach 100 million monthly users, and Instagram about 2.5 years.” Other popular online services have taken longer to hit the one million user mark. Instagram being the closest. Another comparison is when Netflix was launched as a subscription service in 1999, the one million user mark took over 3.5 years to reach this many users.

Good Lawd! Mass of lone ‘dead star’ measured for the first time

Posted by in category: space

Astronomers have measured the mass of a lone white dwarf star for the first time. This type of smoldering stellar remnant is formed at the end of the lives of low-mass stars and will be what the sun leaves behind when it dies in around 5 billion years.

The Hubble Space Telescope measured the mass of a white dwarf designated LAWD 37, which burned out over 1 billion years ago. In the work, scientists used a phenomenon first predicted in 1915 by Albert Einstein called “gravitational lensing,” which involves the bending of light by objects of great mass. The team determined that LAWD 37 has a mass around 56% that of the sun. The finding confirms current theories of how these stellar remnants form and evolve. This particular white dwarf is well studied because it is relatively close to Earth at just 15 light-years away in the constellation of Musca.

Bill Gates says A.I. like ChatGPT is ‘every bit as important as the PC, as the internet’

Posted by in categories: internet, mapping, robotics/AI, space

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates knows a thing or two about paradigm shifts, having played a key role in personal computers becoming a thing. Today, he believes, an equally important development is beginning with ChatGPT and similar artificial intelligence tools.

“A.I. is going to be debated as the hottest topic of 2023. And you know what? That’s appropriate. This is every bit as important as the PC, as the internet,” Gates recently told Forbes, adding that he now spends about 10% of his time talking with Microsoft teams about their product road maps, despite having been long retired and focused on philanthropy.

ChatGPT, of course, is the A.I. chatbot that’s been making waves with its ability to respond to typed questions with eerily human-like responses. Launched a few months ago, ChatGPT now attracts more than 100 million monthly active users, according to a research note published Wednesday by UBS. It easily reached 100 million faster than TikTok or Instagram, the bank’s analysts noted, adding, “In 20 years following the internet space, we cannot recall a faster ramp in a consumer internet app.”
