Compute for space
While the satellite internet was deemed infeasible due to costs and massive amounts of coverage you need, there's literally ZERO reason to put servers into space. Literally what fucking for?
At least for satellite internet there were some advantages, what the fuck are advantages for space servers?

The advantage is that his company will be the one paid to launch the useless space servers into orbit.

I spoke to Elon about this, he's gonna make it happen. He gave me and Jensen a 6 hour presentation on the processes involved with this. He already knows where to get the raw resources for the cpus, memory, and glass. He was doing math on a chalkboard I have in my kitchen while Jensen and I eagerly sipped the white tea Elon brought back from Shenzhen. Like actual calculus math. Jensen and I felt so stupid and pretended to burn out tongues so we didn't have to answer his multiplication questions. Those are hard, Jensen admitted. Elon has this covered. It's pretty obvious

Elon is so stupid. He is like an Adhd kid linking everything to his favorite subject.

Compute in space will be much more expensive than on earth and there are already chips to bake LLMs on that run at like the Taalas HC1 that runs at 1000x the speed when running Llama 8b.

Lllms will fit into people's phones.

It will be much more important to give this small model the ability to solve problems by keeping the context window small by having the logic abstracted than finding a long term solution for data centers.

This solution does not help the average person since people want local LLMS that do not spy on them, not data centers that ordinary people cannot destroy anymore when shit goes rogue.
>>

You can't scale ASML faster than they already are, and you can't scale Zeiss.
So what is Elon getting at here? That they'll be doing repackaging?
If you can't scale EUV you can't meet these numbers, and you can't scale EUV (unless Tesla is planning to build a particle collider and fast-track SSMB, which is also absurd).

If anyone but Elon announced this I would say they were complete fantasists.

>>108428255
>Compute in space will be much more expensive than on earth
There's literally no more power on earth. AI GPUs are just sitting around unused.

This. Good luck scaling TSMC by 50 times when there's literally not that many EUV machines in the world.

And how many watts in an AI server, 1-2000? So he aims to build 500 million to 1 Billion chips a year? Doubt.

>>108426722
>>108428255
I read an article saying that if you apply costs such as legal fees, taxes, regulations, etc, it could actually end up cheaper having the servers in space in the long run. So I can see how it can appeal to him when he already has his own space company to further reduce costs.

It's not as outrageous as it seems. We can map the rate of new energy deployment. We know how long it takes to manufacture a gas turbine blade, and that's set in stone.
And companies are buying future energy capacity contracts faster than we can built it. There's now talk of turning basically anything that can be a generator, into a generator (for instance, manufacturers of huge tanker engines for ships, repurposing them into electricity generators.)

Demand for energy and compute is up against the ceiling of what we can physically produce for the foreseeable future.

Oh, you think they're not plugging them in because the power costs too much? In that case clearly we should keep all GPUs on Earth then where the only country with growing electricity production is China. You're so smart man, what a smartie.

A high end gpu chip can push 600 watts so Elon is effectively advertising that he will make a fab that can produce about 3.5 million wafers per month.
>1 tril / 600 / about 40 good 600w class chips per wafer / 12 months

For reference this would be a facility 35 times larger than the world's current best.
Forget the equipment necessary - forget even the materials necessary.
There doesn't exist in the entire world the amount of skilled trained people to do the work. You could combine all fabs' personnel globally and not be 1/5th of the staff required.

Even if it were possible the scale of such a project would require decades for full rollout and cost in the hundreds billions.

this is insane cope because it still costs them like $10m to launch a rocket, which is more than enough money to buy land and build datacenters

or even build data center barges, or just sealab datacenters

but no elon is completely in bed with the WEF and the great reset, his plan is literally to destroy trillions in hardware to prevent a used market from existing. If nobody can get a good deal on AI hardware, cloud providers stay a monopoly.

him pretending to care about humanity and the environment was a long con. its pretty funny too because people buying teslas to save the earth also give tons of money to a company whos rockets burn fossil fuels and plans to put tons of lithim and rare earth semiconductors into the atmosphere when the space server renter after only 20 years

Congratulations, you've just spent 400 million dollars to get a mid sized server farm into space. This completely excludes rnd for cooling and power, as well as material cost btw.
Wanna know how much building this farm costs on earth?
About 40 million. Materials and everything included.

Early SpaceX and Tesla were the only companies at the time that were doing the futurey, visionary, revolutionary shit like cheap modern rockets and electric vehicles and fast satellite Internet EVERYWHERE so the best talent only had one place to go to help Elmo achieve these things. Now that the novelty wore off with fifty other companies attempting the same, and Elon Musk ousting himself as a autistic chud cringelord, only desperate people would want to work for his companies, or in other words immigrants with work visas. And AI slop IN SPACE doesn't excite the imagination as much as cheap modern rockets and electric vehicles.
>>
>>108428970
>Assuming the can make 2x times less efficient chps they can just launch 2 satellites instead of one.
It really doesn't work like that. More area means less on a chip which means per-chip overheads take proportionately more of what you're sending up, and everything gets slower.
On the other hand, a larger feature size can help in space, as that's an environment with a lot more radiation than you normally have on earth. Like a very large amount more. Bigger features makes things more robust. (You need other things too.)

ASML are primarily a monopoly now as sold large shares of themselves to all their big customers (Intel, TSMC, yadda) back in 2012 to fund development of EUV. Picrel Intel as example, but most of them seem to have sold their shareholdings since. But this pokering gave ASMC the funds to develop EUV AND locked their main customers in, which is why they are in the position they are in now. Nothing to with Americans or Fat Africans who have neither the patience nor competence to build a competitor in an industry where product run-up is measured in decades, even if they had the investment.

Or did a rocketco *really* need to buy a loss-making shitposting site ran by a cretin for $45 billion? Not to mention his ludicrous AI in Space shit.

>invested
I bought some stock into apple, I have invested. If Musk bought his factory with his own money, got bunch of people together, hired the first 1000 people that he personally interviewed, wrote most of the legal papers by copypasting spacex documents, designed the Tesla name/logo by pulling from SpaceX designers, paid everyone working there 90% by himself and 10% by rest of the other friends, thats not "investment", thats founding the company. Tesla did not exist before Musk, Musk's money created everything Tesla ever had.

>Tesla did not exist before Musk
Yes, and it's been SUCH a roaring success since Elon started personally taking a hand in the car design, witness the Cybertruck. Why, what a genius this Fat African Charlatan really is! Is there then any entity he cannot entirely fuck up?
>>
>>108434333
Their first car is based off of TZero's car, made by another company. The concept car was already made, all co-founders came together to license and create this TZero car. You're reading fake propaganda information. There are a dozen or so co-founders. The Eberhard guy launched a lawsuit to remove everyone except the two from being co-founder and failed after he was fired from Tesla for not being able to manufacture the car. Musk took over the company as it was on the brink of bankruptcy. Every car Tesla has ever produced and put on sale was done under Musk's watch. Roadster, Model S, Model X, Model Y, Model 3, Cybertruck, Semi, Tesla Battery, Tesla Energy, and now Tesla Fab, All Tesla products ever released for purchase and everything you know about Tesla is done under Musk's reign.

its really nice that someone is willing to invest billions into making a complete supply chain for once. Still sucks that its the stupid Silicon shit and not something more advanced I doubt Musk can succeed but its better than hoarding his wealth.

Tesla is Musks creation and Musk is not just "an investor" and imo, he's not even just a "co-founder", but THE core founder of Tesla for all intents, functions and purposes.

I guess the idea is he is a better manager due to extensive technical knowledge, he is better at predicting wide technological trends than most people, he is good at setting up the company culture with how the organization is setup, who gets hired or fired and the underlings do more efficient work under him to create value.

Predicting the trends is a function of elite mingling. Remember he has been in tons of meetings and dinner parties with Epstein and every other billionaire. They are all sharing private info amongst each other and in turn fueling the future direction of the world

I mean, did a golf course company really need to become a military drone manufacturer and one of the main sources of drones for the USA? Not really. But a Trump owns the bank that backed the whole thing so nepotism got them the contracts. Right now there's a lot of "did X company really need to get into unrelated Y market"

Ya very stupid how do you even replace failed parts. Laughable.

>>108433460
You can attach algorithmic memory to it instead of using the context window. LLM providers don't want you to know that but with services like Honcho (there will probably also be free local ones similar to that soon) you can save a lot of tokens and even more context window for agentic work.

With all the applications of llms available, you probably don't need many more parameters. Larger models deliver diminishing returns. Going this route takes the same wrong part Dinosaurs took millions of years ago, assuming bigger is better. Speed is more important for natural interaction. Adaptability is what skills provide.

Many models are mixtures of experts where the active parameter set used for the interference is much smaller.

So imagine what 16 of those Taals HC1 can do.

Given that hardware shrinks and that wafers might become 3D, this will one day fit into your smartphone.

Musk is like building a data center in space that will be outdated like an old-school von Neumann computer in 10 years.

Let's do some Muskian principles first thinking here.

Human brains use 25W and have 100T parameters, constantly learning. If we build more neuromorphic chips we can achieve the same or even better systems.

There will be an application ceiling for intelligence. Even for space exploration and understanding the universe.

Imagine von Neumann built his data centers in space in the 50ies, with 10GHz CPUs by spending many more resources. He would run out of use cases. We still need to apply the existing AI everywhere. There are still receptionists doing the work that LLMs can do, assigning appointments at offices.

There are already personalized mRNA vaccines that can cure cancer but not everyone is yet sure that it is a good idea to use them.

The bottleneck is the application, not intelligence.

There are documentaries about gifted individuals. Some end up like Terrance Tao using their giftedness for the greater good but some end up being completely useless.

How much government money is he getting for this scheme?

Measuring compute in watts. Interesting choice.
I assume it will all be locked down. Maybe you won't be able to buy them but only rent them as he maintains ownership of everything. I still wish him good luck. Obviously I will hate the result.

With more parameters you can store more facts. Not necessarily diminishing returns

not to defend Elon the african drug addicted faggot, but
>>a loaded rack weighs on average 680kg
is that considering the rack mount itself? that shit is heavy, and you don't need it in space.
they can also solder the whole thing which, for some reason, apparently make things cheaper (and obviously a bit lighter). even better if they simply integrate everything in the chips.
also, free, continuous solar energy saves you a few pennies in the long run. and radiation is higher in orbit than on the surface of earth.
this doesn't explain how they will get rid of heat, though...

Similar to the way they get rid of heat every other time, just larger and so more mass. It's more expensive to coll than on the ground, but not something impossible to do. It's what some potential future actually large constructions in space would need to do with a lot more power use, and not something more distributed like the plan here.

I'm willing to watch you explain how you think cooling works in a data center and then how you think it works in space.

>>108444215
I meant cooling every other time in space of other purposes. It's always going to be easier and cheaper to cool on the ground with anything else, even with limited water use.

Wattage is the metric when you know what chips you're running. A fab implies making your own chips, no? Is he suggesting he’s going to rival nvidia?

If all the servers are in space, how the fuck are they supposed to replace failed HDDs?
In a conventional data center, it's a five minute walk, and five minutes swapping out the drive.
Now it's going to take a six hour spacewalk? After a multi -million dollar manned launch?
What am I missing here?
>>
>>108447739
Since it's not one large location and a lot of smaller ones, run each satellite until enough parts fail it's no longer useful. Replace them a satellite at a time. You aren't trying to maximize the use out of a building's available space.

I don't remember seeing anything about the plans for when they die, but they are supposed to be low enough that's likely. With as many as they claim to plan on using, not deorbiting them would be a future problem.

to be fair to elon, making chips in space isn't as retarded as it sounds. the fact that it's space should reduce contamination during wafer production which would help yield rates but at the same time you have to bring shit like argon from earth to space to manufacture so he's still massively retarded
>>
>>108426636
Investment scam. There is no way anything comes out of this except maybe Elon gets a team that can make some shit RISCV chip but is in no way competitive.
>>
>>108448507
His son literally got brain washed by diversity bullcrap telling him he could be a woman. He will never be a woman but was fed all of those lies telling him he could. You can't blame elon for that. I sometimes wonder if I might have befallen a similar fate if I were born when he was instead and had all of this woke nonsense in schools, etc.

You don't use HDDs, you design everything to be reliable enough that you don't lose a significant amount of nodes over the economic lifetime.
