Nice idea. I think the reason it's not communicated as such is that then companies would be expected to advertise time on battery when charged to 100%, not 125%.

With cameras you don't care about every mm of width, nor about how resistant it is to falls. With phones you do. I, for one, don't welcome that change. I'd be ok with paying someone a bit extra to replace the battery. I mean,

Nice! What I missed from the writeup were some specific cases and how did you test that all this orchestration delivers worthwhile data (actionable and full/correct). E.g. you have a screenshot of the AI supply chain - more of these wo

Since the November/December Opus and Claude Code, I found I don't need to read the code any more. Architecture overview sure, and testing yes, but not reading the code directly any more. Me (and my friends similarly) inspect code

Did you travel in Europe? Even without crisis, gas stations are often way busier on the cheaper country's border than more expensive. My friends living in Switzerland (near the border) always go to Germany to fuel up. And, even without

Aside from a cost? It's also managing the actual human being, and making sure they have enough work. If the place has 5-10 calls a day, then it's pointless to hire receptionist that will do nothing for 1 hour, and then get 2 minut

instead of asking „what’s next”, a good question to ask is „what jobs are now feasible that previously were cinstrained by the cost of producing software”?

Please do. Did you compare playwright with mcp? Why one over another? I use MCP usually, because I heard it’s less detectable than playwright, and more robust against design changes, but I didn’t compare/test myself

Of course you are, just behind NAT. If your device has it's own public IPv4 address then you don't need IPv4x, IPv6 or whatever else.

The numbers just don't add up there. With just 40-100 satellites they need to be GEO, and this means crappy transfers, big lags (200-300 absolute minimum, more 500ms), and most importantly - big, power hungry antennas. It's a PR p

Reusability. Even if money were not an issue, other nations need to build a new rocket for every launch, and it's extremely hard/impossible to catch up.

Bandwidth, input latency (250ms absolute minimum), energy use and antenna size (mattering for mobility and military). I don't think there is a way for geo to compete.

36 compared to 10000. This is 2-3 orders of magnitude. It's like a corner store trying to compete with Walmart.

All the airlines, all the trains, and other government-supported entities may have a strategic interest to use a local version of Starlink. But everyone else? I don't think anyone will buy a service that will be 10x more expensive, 10x

Spy satellites you can have way fewer, but for an internet connection you really need Starlink's scale. Otherwise you need full 360 deg view of a horizon (good luck with that on the battlefield), and a much higher power use. Having sai

Depends on how they are configured, I think in some regions (where power outages are very rare), they are wired to sync up with external network, and without external network they shut down as well.

The thing is - without Falcon9 / Starship they really cannot - both China and EU are ~10-20 years (sic) behind SpaceX, and without thousands of satellites on LEO you just cannot have terminal similar to SpaceX's. (And don't g
