I agree, this report from astronaut Camarda should really alarm NASA.

Not really - read the Berger article for more details above -Camarda is older, in his 70s and his attitude overall (based on the reports) reads more like an ego bruise than serious reflection on the engineering problem

Obviously concerns should be vetted by the engineering teams involved but it appears they have been addressed to meet the needs of the mission


This report from astronaut Camarda is indeed a bomb. Scaring.

The DJI ROMO robot vacuum is amazing. It shows what can be done with today's technology.

My Roomba is just crap compared with DJI's. I'm not surprised they went bankrupt.

Excerpt: “The fact that it’s been 3 years since ChatGPT first launched, and you’ve only just now managed to make it obey this simple requirement, says a lot about how little control you have over it, and your understanding of its inner workings,” wrote one X user in a reply. “Not a good sign for the future.”

Interesting, it seems really likely that more light indoors should be good. Do you have a reference, a scientific study on the topic? Thanks!


Here's a couple from a random search for the convenience of the forum:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29371008/

https://reviewofmm.com/light-as-a-tool-for-myopia-control/

I can't find the site that I read a while ago, it was very similar to the myticker.com site that was posted the other day for heart disease but focused on myopia.


Thanks for sharing this! I've never heard of this research, but it sounds very promising.

I also found this Guardian article from a Google search: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/01/shortsighted-t...


It's difficult for artificial light to compete with full-spectrum natural daylight from an infinitely distant light source (sun). See previous attempts at sunlight simulation indoors.

If you leave under a dictatorship you definitely don't want to reveal your identity to develop and distribute an app that fights the government.


The normal uBlock origin extension can be installed on Orion browser for iOS

Orion is webkit and can be set as default browser.


Unfortunately uBlock Origin on Orion is a bit flaky. Also, the phone heats up a bit, but that might be due to Orion itself.


Yeah, I have the same problem. Had to stop using Orion because it always heated up the phone too much. A shame. Hopefully they fix it.


How does Orion manages to run chrome and firefox extensions when even iOS chrome and firefox browsers can’t?
