    #ArsTechnica says "The suborbital space tourism industry is on life support".

    Well, duh. Some ridiculously high price for 7 minutes of microgravity (or whatever) is bullshit. You don't even reach the Kármán line (100 km)! They redefined some other threshold at 80 km just so you could say you went to space. Hint: if you have to redefine a common, long-agreed term, you're not adhering to the letter or the spirit of the law/guideline.

    It's orbit or GTFO.

    English Wikipedia has pulled the plug on using archive.today links to archive websites after the site used scripts to involve users in a DDoS attack on a critical blog.

    You may have seen the story this week about an "AI" (LLM) bot that opened a pull request against the Python #matplotlib library. When the request was closed, the story was that the #bot posted aggressive condemnations of the maintainer(s) in the thread, particularly Scott Shambaugh, and then posted an article to a blog attacking him.

    There's a lot of speculation about how much of that action was driven algorithmically vs manually instructed by the bot operator.

    Anyway, so far so interesting. Lots of online media coverage of it, because it was novel.

    But then, Ars Technica published an article about it. And Shambaugh read it, and posted that the second half of the article contained alleged quotes from him that he never said. The article appears to have been "AI"-generated, without any acknowledgement of that fact, which is not good for Ars' credibility.

    Worse, Ars then quickly pulled the #article - silently. No mention of it left, no #apology to Shambaugh, no note to the readers of what they'd done.

    That is absolutely #unethical in #journalism. It is unforgivable.

    Ars was once a technical site with additional coverage of science and other geek-adjacent topics. Then it went commercial, was bought by a huge publishing conglomerate, and became a lot less technical.

    But this is a slide too far. Unless they fix this, quick, I won't renew my subscription.

    US spy satellites built by SpaceX send signals in the “wrong direction”

    "It seems US didn’t coordinate Starshield’s unusual spectrum use with other countries."

    Nice article from #ArsTechnica about some key #1980s British computers that Americans may not know about. #ComputingHistory in #Britain in the 1980s was very different from in the US, with a strong #8bit #cassstte based ecosystem. Also phenomenally effective for encouraging a generation of young computer #coders. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/0 #Computing #ComputerGames #80sComputers #ComputerScience
