I guess the plan is to let it communicate with the starlink satellites.

Thanx for the info, I did not really dig into the space data center idea.

I guess as soon as you have enough up, your request will go to one that is close and not on the other side of the planet.

It's always fun to read about people implementing DOOM on various unlikely devices... however this is not one of those stories. This is just porting DOOM to a different language, but still running on a standard computer. And the heavy lifting is being done with python rather than SQL - so it's not even a new language, in terms of DOOM ports.

It does sound like it was an interesting and likely fun project for the coder(s), in any case.

Most players use the keyboard. And perfect click is far less relevant than perfect strategy.

Germany comes to mind.
But probably not on a much higher level than Go.

I did play Stratego since ages.

Latency is about a 1/10th of a second if it is a geo stationary satellite, and much lower if it is in a lower orbit.
I suggest to put a half assed complicated request into what ever AI you are using and cout: 21, 22, 23 until the first result pops up.

An additional 1/10th of a second, you won't notice.

Meteor smacks are rare.

The oldest currently operating satellite that can still transmit a communication signal is AMSAT-OSCAR 7 (AO-7).
While it is an amateur radio satellite rather than a commercial television broadcasting satellite, it remains the absolute oldest active piece of communications hardware in space.

That satellite is only a small amateur radio "relay", it is operational since 52 years, on solar power.

If one spends a lot of money on something, it is kind of save to assume he has done his math.

A single star link satellite for example makes Space X 450million earnings.

Why only waste time occasionally when technology will help you waste time constantly?

This is not a joke - some of my coworkers set up a Teams channel specifically for talking about dogs, cats, and babies. I have stayed out of it - like you, if I want human interaction I go visit the front office or generally walk around the building (or, on WFH days, go play fetch with the dogs for a few minutes). Plus, I need to get actual work done and having that channel ping constantly would not help.

And, when I REALLY want to kill time, there's always Slashdot...

But how else are you supposed to get your daily dose of pet news and stories about your co-workers' kids?

When did this allegedly happen? I've been using Teams for quite a few years, but I managed to miss the period when it improved.

I have to use Teams on a daily basis, and I share your opinion regarding the software.

Toblerones are messy enough at current temperatures...

All fifteen are now listed as Founders by Tesla. They're also all Chief Engineers at SpaceX.

You don't get it.

Autonomous AI agents are the perfect no-responsibility card. The AI companies? They trained a general-purpose model and never gave it any explicit instructions to do hacking. The AI services? They are just middlemen and have no control over what people tell the agents to do. The people prompting the agents? Unless you're straighforward dumb, you didn't tell it to do hacking, you just told it something innocent like "find me all data on Mars for my school project" and the agent decided that probably NASA is hiding something so let's hack them to get it.

Since there's no human anywhere executing anything that's a crime - voila, in addition to the victimless crime we now have the perpetratorless crime.
