This is such an unhinged take, what if a super villain decided to build missiles to attack satellites? You understand that’s something nation states struggle with, that billionaire status doesn’t even guarantee success on. Some bitcoin bro

No, that’s just satellite backhaul for a cell tower. That’s not hard, but also typically if you can get power to a base station you can run fiber along the same poles the power runs on. This is direct from handset to satellite, it’s clearly

> The baseband on handheld devices do not have that much power to transmit and receive from Starlink directly; That is exactly what this is about, direct from standard handsets to starlink satellites.

I have to disengage FSD multiple times a day and I’m only driving 16 miles round trip. And routinely have to stop it from doing dumb things like stopping at green traffic lights, attempting to do a u turn from the wrong turn lane, or switch

I think they’re just focused on the work. Amazon is set to release a version of Alexa powered by Claude soon, when that is released I expect to hear a lot more about them.

It's hard to exercise when you are overweight. It puts more strain on your joints, makes injury more likely, and it's all around harder. Maybe there is a path to using these drugs in a manner to get people healthier so they can ex

What would I take with me? My photos and email will move just fine. The last app I bought was a while ago, and it was an app to block Google AMP. I’m honestly not sure I use any other paid apps.

We just had a news story where an active AM station had its tower stolen and no one noticed until the landscapers reported it was gone. And what bubble did I reveal, because it could be that I’m able to afford cars that cost ~$30k, like use

Why do you keep jumping from AM to digital radio? What does that even mean, are you talking about XM? You do know FM exists and is analog, right?

12 years ago I wasn’t nearly as successful, but I did have Bluetooth in my car. Even in my old Hyundai and my wife’s Honda we never used the tuners.

I’m in my 40s and have no way to receive AM broadcasts. My wife and I both have Teslas, and we don’t have any radio tuners in the house. I wouldn’t even notic if the Tesla didn’t have FM either, I’ve lived in my current city for 12 years an

But isn’t the point of a source only distribution like Gentoo, to build everything yourself? Who is running gentoo but also lugging around old precompiled stuff they don’t have the source for?

That may be true for the UK, but in America it’s very different. Most casinos are big fancy places, the local casino by me on the Indian reservation has world famous DJ’s playing pool parties, an amazing restaurant, and valet parking with s

Sorry, that’s correct it was Debian, but Debian did apply a RHEL specific patch to their kernel. That’s the relationship to red hat.

The blame for the Linux situation isn’t as clear cut as you make it out to be. Red hat rolled out a breaking change to BPF which was likely a regression. That wasn’t caused directly by a crowdstrike update.

You mentioned Bacardi 151, which is where my head went. It sounds like the weed industry is like if the alcohol industry only made versions of 151, and then people are out here saying hey wish I could have a few light beers with my friends.

Seems like you’re grasping at straws to find weird edge cases that don’t at all preclude a mostly self driven future. I don’t think these cars will be made without steering wheels, or a mechanism to control the vehicle directly. But I bet t

And? Just a few years ago waymo had safety drivers. I really only intercede when I want to take a route different than the Tesla routes me on, or I want to be a bit more aggressive in highway traffic. Seems like 10 years isn’t too out there

That is what .5% of all drivers that need to drive on a curb to inspect a power line? I’m not sure what your point even is here?
