Summary

Space Technology explores the complex technologies that enable us to venture beyond Earth. It focuses on advanced computing, satellite systems, and robotic explorers, illuminating how these elements intertwine to facilitate space missions. The book highlights how initial engineering challenges were overcome with innovative solutions. For example, early communication satellites faced signal degradation issues, which led to the development of more robust and efficient transmission technologies.

 
The book progresses systematically, first introducing fundamental principles before diving into specific areas. It examines the role of computers in spacecraft navigation and life support, the diverse applications of satellite technology from communication to Earth observation, and the achievements of robotic missions on other planets.

 
The book emphasizes the importance of continued investment in these technologies to expand our knowledge of space. It also connects space technology to other fields, such as materials science and environmental science, demonstrating its broad impact.

    The Means of Prediction - How AI...

    AI is inescapable, from its mundane uses online to its increasingly consequential decision-making in courtrooms, job interviews, and wars. 
     
    As Maximilian Kasy shows, artificial intelligence, far from being an unstoppable force, is irrevocably shaped by human decisions—choices made to date by the ownership class that steers its development and deployment. Kasy shows that the technology of AI is ultimately not that complex. It is insidious, however, in its capacity to steer results to its owners’ wants and ends. Kasy clearly and accessibly explains the fundamental principles on which AI works, and, in doing so, reveals that the real conflict isn’t between humans and machines, but between those who control the machines and the rest of us. 
     
    The Means of Prediction offers a powerful vision of the future of AI: a future not shaped by technology, but by the technology’s owners. Amid a deluge of debates about technical details, new possibilities, and social problems, Kasy cuts to the core issue: Who controls AI’s objectives, and how is this control maintained? The answer lies in what he calls “the means of prediction,” or the essential resources required for building AI systems: data, computing power, expertise, and energy. As Kasy shows, in a world already defined by inequality, one of humanity’s most consequential technologies has been and will be steered by those already in power. 
     
    Against those stakes, Kasy offers a framework both for understanding AI’s capabilities and for designing its public control. He makes a compelling case for democratic control over AI objectives as the answer to  
    mounting concerns about AI’s risks and harms. The Means of Prediction is a revelation, both an expert undressing of a technology that has masqueraded as more complicated and a compelling call for public oversight of this transformative technology.
