LLM performance, recently, seemingly hit the top of the S-curve. It remains to be seen if this is the next leap forward or just the rest of that curve.

Will we see Red Hat / IBM Terraform?
I work in a school IT department. We have full Wi-Fi coverage of all our buildings. We definitely have filtering in place, both DNS and managed extensions on student Chromebooks. We use Cisco Meraki switches and APs for connectivity, with Cisco Umbrella for DNS filtering.

The Federal Government has programs like E-Rate that reimbursee districts for up to 90% of the cost of getting internet access for students, but like other commenters have said, paperwork. Unless you can get full support from the superintendent/board, bureaucracy will 100% be your biggest obstacle.

> If Apple insists, we would consider adding a pager emoji to metadata on all messages sent via Beeper Mini. This would make it easy for Messages App to filter out any messages from Beeper Mini users.

Why would they not just shut it down if Apple asks, wouldn't that just do the same thing (beeper users can't send messages)

> while we wait for instructions from our Engieers (sic)

This, combined with the fact that Google has said nothing officially about this, leads me to believe this is a hoax.
