And so the humongous flat antenna of the direct-to-cell comsat #BlueBird 6 has unfolded, "the Largest Commercial Communications Array Antenna Ever" as the AST press release https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260210108166/en/AST-SpaceMobile-Successfully-Completes-Unfolding-of-BlueBird-6-the-Largest-Commercial-Communications-Array-Antenna-Ever-Deployed-in-Low-Earth-Orbit crows: now it's now up to the astronomical community to observe it and determine its magnitude. Are the Block 2 BlueBirds worse than the already outrageously bright Block 1 satellites - or did the promised (!) countermeasures reduce their impact? In any case dozens more of these satellites are to be launched this year, followed by hundreds more ...
Imagine you had the blueprints for all car motors ever made. Some are joke blueprints or bad photocopies or missing sections. Some use metric units, some use imperial, and often it’s not specified. There’s any number of cylinders. Various cooling approaches. Different basic materials.
Now you make a new motor by taking the average of all these blueprints.
That’s how LLMs work.

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes,
the DNA blueprint for these cells is essentially the same.
Where do those differences come from?
Scientists are realizing the defining qualities that make up each cell actually lie in a cousin of DNA called RNA.
RNA was long considered DNA’s boring biochemical relative.
Researchers thought it merely takes the genetic information stored in DNA and delivers i…
