Welcome to Edition 8.03 of the Rocket Report! We are at an interesting stage in Europe, with its efforts to commercialize spaceflight. Finally, it seems the long-slumbering continent is waking up to the need to leverage private capital to drive down the costs of space access, and we are seeing more investment flow into European companies. But it is critical that European policymakers make strategic investments across the industry or companies like PLD Space, which outlined big plans this week, w

If you know a thing or two about coffee, you might find the other brands recommended here too lowbrow. But can you out-taste a coffee sommelier? Kloo's coffee concentrates are curated by such tasters, also known as “Q Graders,” and I couldn't stop saying “Wow” out loud while I tested the brand's offerings. From the upscale, frosted packaging and shiny metal stopper to the included measuring jigger, I was impressed upon first glance. And once I mixed in a shot full of the extract-consistency liqu

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority TL;DR ChatGPT is working on an Image Styles feature that would add a pre-defined instruction set to your prompt to achieve a specific image style in your results. Users would be able to select from aesthetic styles such as “Anime,” “Cyberpunk,” “Coloring Book,” and more. These styles can be added as instructions for converting existing images or generating new ones. ChatGPT’s image generation capabilities are pretty nifty, and it’s largely credited for spa

The Pigeon River Is Perched, Which Is Geologically Bad News (2020)

A reader of the Nantahala Gorge post asked a very relevant question: Is there a stream capture in the Appalachians that is going to happen soon? While “soon” can be a very relative term in geology, there is most definitely a good answer to the question. At Canton, North Carolina, the headwaters of Hominy Creek, a French Broad River tributary, are VERY close to capturing the Pigeon River. In human terms, this is still probably a long way off, but it is most certainly geologically “imminent.” The

Crypto’s Wild West Era Is Over

For more than a decade, cryptocurrency lived in a regulatory gray zone. Loved by libertarians, feared by bankers, and mocked by lawmakers, it was treated like a side project of the internet, too weird to regulate and too volatile to embrace. That era just ended. The U.S. House of Representatives has officially passed the GENIUS Act, a landmark bill that sets federal rules for stablecoins—the digital currencies pegged to the U.S. dollar.
