Links to things I found interesting but didn't want to do a full blog post about.
- Revolutionary ‘Spaceplate’ Could Eliminate Traditional Camera Lenses. It will probably be some time before we see this in consumer tech, but it sounds promising.
- Mega-Constellations [Like Starlink] Will Begin This Process As an Uncontrolled Experiment. Enough mass is being put into orbit that it is a significant percentage of the mass that already falls from space and burns up in the atmosphere.
- The [AI]nformation battlespace. "Artificial intelligence is coming to the battlefield: how will we prepare?"
- The Culture War: Iain M. Banks Billionaire Fans. "Why Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos Love Iain M. Banks anarcho-communist space opera."
- What Can Covid-19 Teach Us About The Mysteries of Smell. "The virus’s strangest symptom has opened new doors to understanding our most neglected sense."
- The Downside to Life in a Supertall Tower: Leaks, Creaks, Breaks. "432 Park, one of the wealthiest addresses in the world, faces some significant design problems, and other luxury high-rises may share its fate." I have absolutely no sympathy for these people.
