How it happened: the second launch of the world’s largest rocket, SpaceX Starship, in stunning photos and videos – from launch to explosion
SpaceX’s massive Starship 25 spacecraft and Super Heavy 9 rocket were launched into orbit on November 18, 2023, from Starbase in South Texas. Although the launch vehicle underwent a rapid “unplanned disassembly” and suffered an “explosive end” after launch, its flight is simply astonishing.
An important event for SpaceX was the successful separation of the two stages of the rocket. Shortly thereafter, the Super Heavy booster rocket exploded and Starship’s upper stage exploded before it could complete its launch.
However, SpaceX was pleased with the second test flight, which was more successful than the debut launch in April – the rocket reached space and flew higher, further and longer. The company will now carefully study the flight to make the necessary improvements for the next launch.
On the social networking site X, formerly known as Twitter, viewers and photographers were thrilled to witness the launch of the spacecraft.
But some of the most revealing images were taken after the launch, when photographers were able to visit the launch site and document its good condition.

The only modern smartphone to receive 10 points for repairability from iFixit. Fairphone 5 is very easy to disassemble

iFixit specialists disassembled the Fairphone 5 smartphone to assess its repairability. Like its predecessor, the new product has the maximum.
Fairphone smartphones stand out for a number of features: very long support, modular design and the ability to buy and replace these same modules yourself and, as a consequence of the latter, excellent maintainability. According to iFixit, this is 10 points out of 10 possible.
The smartphone has a removable back plastic cover, a battery that can be easily removed like smartphones of the past, many modular components, from the USB-C port to the camera unit, various pointers to simplify the assembly process, and so on.

ChatGPT began to become lazy and refuse to respond, and the developers say that this behavior formed on its own

Some time ago, a number of ChatGPT users discovered that the chatbot could become lazy and even refuse to respond at all. OpenAI recognized the problem, and the situation turned out to be very interesting.
The developers stated that they had not updated the AI since November 11, and complaints appeared later. This means that this behavior of the chatbot is not a consequence of any changes made by the developers, but formed on its own. However, the authors of the project say that all this does not mean that ChatPGT itself has somehow changed.
To be clear, the point is not that the model has somehow changed since November 11th. It’s just that the differences in model behavior may be subtle – only a subset of the cues may be degraded, and it may take a long time for clients and employees to notice and correct these patterns
OpenAI also said they are looking for ways to fix the problem, but they don’t seem to have found any yet.
Let us remind you that ChatGPT began to behave as if it was too lazy to look for answers to users’ questions. Responses could be slower than usual, or more careless, and sometimes the AI would even say something like “You can do it yourself.” Moreover, this AI behavior most often manifested itself when it was asked to write program code.
