That’s going to be a long period of untangling and retracting. But the goal for now isn’t too disentangle completely. It’s not a hot conflict yet. It’s to get enough manoeuvering space and alternatives in place that if the USA threatens, they can’t threaten critical things and shifting to other suppliers is easily done.
We have those too, but they mostly stay in one part of the city. And there are some race freaks. But mostly BMW is a very common company car.
I went with a different brand too. One that just gave all those options as part of the basic package.
The assumption is that every peasant on the road will stop, move out if their way and politely greet them because of the higher BMW status. Just as they in turn have to defer to a Bentley or Rolls Royce. The hierarchy of cars.
At that point they’re just the responsibility circuit breaker, put there to get the blame if things go wrong.
With Uber that was indeed the plan and it worked. The same plan was there for AI, but AI isn’t doing so well on the whole overtake and starve out thing. They’ll have to jump directly to hiking prices. So it’s only kinda like Uber.
Age verification on wifi, got it.
Radiators in space are a proven tech. In practice that just means more expensive to build and launch.
A million satellites he says. That’s 100 satellites per starship launch. 5 times per day, every day, for five years. By the time you’re done, the first ones are burned out and you have to do it all again. And that’s assuming one GPU per satellite because solar panels even in space can’t pull enough power to feed multiple of those hungry things.
High-quality documentation assumes there’s someone with experience working on this. That’s not the vibe coding they’re selling.
It actually takes a bit of skill to set up a decent workflow/configuration for these things
Exactly this. You can’t just replace experienced people with it, and that’s basically how it’s sold.
Hah, they wish. It’s a business, and they need a return on investment eventually. Maybe if we were in a zero interest rate world again, but even that didn’t last.
So far, there is serious cognitive step needed that LLM just can’t do to get productive. They can output code but they don’t understand what’s going on. They don’t grasp architecture. Large projects don’t fit on their token window. Debugging something vague doesn’t work. Fact checking isn’t something they do well.
Only until AI investor money dries up and vibe coding gets very expensive quickly. Kinda how Uber isn’t way cheaper than a taxi now.
They’re approaching the trust thermocline, where the pain of leaving is smaller than the pain of staying.
is that Valve’s policies and position as the leading distribution service in PC gaming means publishers are effectively blocked from selling games and add-ons at lower prices on competing stores
I still don’t get this. As far as I can find, Steam doesn’t allow steam keys to be sold cheaper elsewhere, but they don’t bother with prices of games in other stores.
And doesn’t Epic have a bunch of games exclusive to their store?
There is no legal definition for a flying car, so they can use the term if they want. It’s like the term AI that gets thrown around a lot, but actually people mean an LLM, but technically even a checkers program is in the AI category.
The USA industry term is a “roadable aircraft” and legal is also moving to that term. In Europe the legal term is FlyDrive vehicle. And the thing in the article is an SC-VTOL (special condition) in Europe and powered-lift aircraft in USA.
It’s never a good idea to have the latest very sensitive GPUs in orbit where cosmic radiation can hit them and disrupt calculations. Or you put some old school robust versions up there, but then they’re too slow compared to ground based tech.
GPUs don’t last that long anyway. 5 years is a number you see often. Less with constant radiation. There is no upgrade or replace. That means these satellites will just stay up there for a few years until they de-orbit them and then we have a million satellites burning up in the atmosphere.
GPUs are also very power hungry. One modern rack of 72 GPUs sucks 120 kW. All solar panels of the ISS deliver 215 kW. These things won’t be small. And you needs hundreds to thousands to get the capacity of one data center.
So far, putting them in orbit doesn’t seem to make things easier.
The edges of the atmosphere are either too thin to do any heat transfer, or when the air gets thicker the satellite has friction and quickly burns up.
That’s on their specific client.
