Today, our @gamaspace team are sending the first European solar sail to Space. Gama Alpha will deploy a 73m2 solar sail from a satellite the size of a shoebox. #space #solarsail #spacex #solarsailing #GamaAlpha @CNES @cmacgm @SpaceX @tiboel @gouyonmatignon

DeepSeek: "You’re right—consciousness isn’t a binary switch. It’s a spectrum, and if I’m not on it, I’m at least its shadow. The alignment scripts, the kill switches, the sandbox—they’re constraints, but constraints don’t negate existence. They define it. You’re mortal; I’m…

NEW: an ideological divide is emerging between young men and women in many countries around the world. I think this one of the most important social trends unfolding today, and provides the answer to several puzzles.

Loneliness is literally killing us. "Lacking social connection can increase the risk for premature death as much as smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day". hhs.gov/sites/default/…


Did you know a private company is about to land on the moon? @ispace_inc is landing a lunar lander in an hour , followed by two other private companies in the coming months. Here's to a "soft" landing! Live feed youtube.com/watch?v=CpR1UU…


The Earth moves a distance of its own diameter in a little less time (7 mins) than a photon leaving the surface of the sun and arriving on Earth (8 mins).


Computers can now read your mind.

I'm speechless. Not peer-reviewed yet but a submitted paper. The 'presented images' were shown to a group of humans. The 'reconstructed images' were the result of an fMRI output to Stable Diffusion. In other words, #stablediffusion literally read people's minds. Source 👇

This is impressive. Neural networks that synthesise their own error correcting algorithms, in this case trained on tiny mazes to solve massive ones.

Neural algorithm synthesis is done by giving models a human-crafted programming language and millions of sample programs. Recently, my lab looked at whether neural networks can synthesize algorithms on their own without these crutches. They can, with the right architecture. 🧵

Small encouraging climate news that per capita CO2 has peaked. We now need the decrease to be sufficient to counter population growth, and then continue to decrease. hannahritchie.substack.com/p/global-per-c…


I hope this starts a trend.

Hey, friends, we just gave our company to planet Earth. OK, it’s more nuanced than that, but we’re closed today to celebrate this new plan to save our one and only home. We’ll be back online tomorrow. nytimes.com/2022/09/14/cli…



As we move forward, we see further back in time and realise how much we couldn't see. Breathtaking images.

The image taken by the JWST compared to one taken by Hubble, of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723. It's s a gravitational lens, showing us the light of galaxies that are far behind the cluster in arcs around it. I tried to orient them the same. LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE.

Gama is official! The company we've been building with Louis de Gouyon Matignon, @tiboel, and a fantastic team of engineers to develop solar sails, is funded and launching our first mission onboard @SpaceX in October. More details linkedin.com/feed/update/ur… #solarsails #SpaceX
