I’m sorry but the gotcha here is that.. the owner is in a family that also owns an air charter business with all of four small private jets and an air-ambulance business?

Give me a break, what does this have anything to do with the content of the article.

You can use any one of many MVNOs to get unlimited data for around that price, say less adjusted for household income, in the USA.

A favorite of mine is https://www.usmobile.com/ which is $25/mo list price (and less if you pay for the year, or if they're having a sale) which will give you Unlimited Data and 1GB a month of global roaming data

If you pay $45 you can get unlimited data from Mint for $15/mo: https://www.mintmobile.com/plans/

It's not unheard of!

It's actually the high speed internet at home that is less competitive - the prices in Europe are unheard of.

1. This entire page is written by an LLM. It is slop.

2. There is no evidence to support this at all, it is something a comic book author made up

I scoffed at it, as someone that grew up in California and never lived anywhere cold.

Man, when it's freezing outside, it's awesome. I wouldn't buy a car without it now.

Public disclosure of Mythos was April 7 and leaked happened in March, but it's been heavily delayed for well-known reasons.

That said, as the frontier moves, "months old" becomes more and more useful. Opus-tier models are being used to write serious software, so we're going to start seeing open models pick up a lot more usage imo.

...that's Anthropic?

In my experience the downtime tends to coincide with peak PT timezones. If you're in PT, it's very inconvienent.

You're welcome to take an MIT-licensed project, fork it, and relicense it as GPL. The inverse? not so much.

Hard to sell it as anything but an upgrade if you care about open source.

This is, I'm sorry to say, simply not true. Anthropic and Open AI are materially ahead of every open source model out there at this time. The best they can hope to do is be Sonnet-adjacent, and even then I have not seen it.

Yes, that's in kg

Grid-connected PV in Texas has grown between 33% and over 100% every year since 2008, which outpaces the growth of solar in the US in the same timeframe.

California's percentage of solar generation as a share of the entire solar generation in the USA has shrunk every year since 2016.

It's not been accurate to say that California is dragging the rest of the country with them for a long time when it comes to energy generation.

It's interesting that people have a hard time visualizing this. The area in Earth's LEO is, definitionally, bigger than the Earth itself.

The SEA parking garage fits 12,000 cars in it. Two of those spread over the entire planet would be an imperceptible amount of space. You could drop a pin on a map your entire life and probably never hit one.

Yes, it looks like it definitely was: https://x.com/eslischn/status/1104542595806609408

Cargo ships have very few crew as-is, I'd imagine there isn't a huge need to lower that from where it is now.

If something breaks in the middle of the ocean, it's probably better to have a few people on board who can fix it.

I wouldn't say it's closing to completion - it looks like it's in the very early stages development according to their repo. I don't see any evidence they've gotten as far as even running a single query through it.

Even when it's done, it's going to be a lot of work to run. sure, it's not guaranteed to be hard, but if it's not your core business and you're making money, having someone else do it gives you time to focus on what matters.

Personally, I really like being able to use lightweight MagSafe batteries instead of having a thicker iPhone. I used to agree with you, but the tech has gotten ridiculously good the last couple of years.

With something like https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HRY02LL/A/anker-maggo-pow..., you get a magsafe battery that doubles the life of an iPhone and can be independently recharged, and is so slim that I can put it in my pocket attached to my iPhone and not notice.

Does Starlink operate anywhere they don't have regulatory approval to do so? It's not like this is serving a website. There's physical spectrum licensing involved in operating anywhere.

I read this as the parent complaining about other car manufacturers selling you crappy default stereos so that you'll upgrade, not that Slate is excluding a stereo on this truck to upsell you.

In fact, I would be rather surprised if you could buy $4,000 worth of stereo equipment for this car, given their promo materials seem to include a $100 bluetooth speaker below an iPhone.

I fully admit to not knowing about this space, but is there any indication useful quantum computers are going to be a thing any time soon?

I worked on a project about 4-5 years ago that required operating in a FIPS 140-2 environment and this was a huge problem, happy to see there's multiple different investments into doing this right. Same with OpenSSL offering an easy-to-snag FIPS-certified implementation.

We had to buy what felt like bootleg Canonical OpenSSL binaries, and Go looked like building some speculative forks that clearly had not been designed to be released.

Just to address the core of your comment, 20 magnetic disks would combine for about ~2,000 IOPS of capacity, provide for no redundancy, and allow only one machine to process the entirety of the queries coming in to power the application.

Even a full 60 disk server filled with magnetic disks would provide less I/O capacity for running a relational database than a single EBS volume.

It's might not look like a lot of data if you're talking about storing media files, but it's quite a bit of relational data to be queried in single-digit milliseconds at-scale.

I've upgraded my Kindle once, to get USB-C charging and a waterproof device. For the price, extremely worth it.

Gambling? Porn? Sex?

These are all things that we acknowledge are possible to be addicted to to that are not substances. Not to mention that coke has caffeine which is a chemical substance just as much as anything.

You can pin addiction to anything as a personal weakness, including drugs. Why are some people able to smoke a few cigarettes or do a little bit of cocaine without ever getting addicted, when others are hooked on day one?

If there's one thing that's been fun to see as the outcome of GLP-1 drugs, it's that a lot of people seem to have a real problem seeing people better themselves the "easy way".

It's exciting to see when we're so early in the journey of GLP-1 drugs.

The dual action tirzepatide and the next generation retatrutide that has shown massive ability to reduce the long-term harm from obesity: https://www.vcuhealth.org/news/retatrutide-wiped-out-fat-in-...

I'm sure there will be many comments here discussing how awful the side effects are, but from what I can see they're almost all primarily associated with rapid weight loss in general - muscle mass reduction and whatnot seem inevitable when someone drops 100+ lbs of total body weight.

I was going to say the same thing as well, I've used macOS for over a decade on-and-off with multiple monitors and Spectacle and now Rectangle are essential. I even use them when I'm just using my laptop screen.

6.1.1 is the latest build from the 6.1 release channel, which was the latest up until about 4 or 5 hours ago when a new major release was cut.

Not at all the same as running a 4.x release.

It's mentioned in the first paragraph of the article, and "KeyDB" is featured 14 more times throughout the rest of it.

There are plenty of NFL games played on Saturdays during the season, if you look at the text of the act it has specific periods of time where this is permitted.

College football has a different season than the NFL and this last Saturday was not part of it.

I live down in the south end and have taken the train + monorail more than once to a concert at Climate Pledge without issue, absolutely no issues.

The Monorail takes Orca now, and the transfer at Westlake is not bad at all. I would highly recommend giving it a try.

This is definitely not an extremely serious backcountry device, but for someone (like me) that is a casual hiker and skier, it was the primary reason I bought an iPhone 14 Pro.

It's very easy in the US West to get out of cell service very quickly - at that point, even just throwing an ankle or tripping can put you at the mercy of your hiking companion or random strangers on the trail. If you're going somewhere less traveled, this is just a nice thing to have in your pocket.

This feature isn't going to save you after you've been buried in an avalanche, but it's going to get search and rescue to carry you out when you're 10 miles from the parking lot. Worth the cost.
