> water usage is heavily overblown compared to the agriculture industry

Are you suggesting we should stop using water to grow food for humans?

For fun, Gemini says between 1.1 and 3.8 billion, and 3-5 years.

That number will decrease every month too.

Place your bets now.

Time until first power generated, and actual final total cost.

I’ll go 15 years and $10 Billion.

> the generator would have been only used for your needs.

God forbid we live in a world where sharing and helping others is OK.

Immensely. Especially early in my career I felt very different to the comp sci grads around me. I was trained to think at a systems level, about consequences, about people and processes. In the first few months it was obvious to everyone I was a leader and quickly had a team.

Somehow I felt like I was thinking about the big Picture and the ramifications for the future, those around me were just looking at a tiny problem.

It also helped immensely for talking with the Engineers at various companies.

My education was like an electrical engineer is to an electrician.

My degree is Software Engineering, and is fully accredited by the Australian Institute of Engineers.

It was two years longer than computer science, and all of those extra courses were with the “mainstream” Engineers.

It’s a test campaign to find the limits. They tested to failure on purpose.

Give it time, just like Falcon 9.

> Telecommunications.. Can scale only so much. Starlink is cool. Compared to Iridium it's way way cheaper. But demand is .. modest? It seems to only beats fiber on the ground in special situations

It is not designed to compete with finer. Go somewhere truly remote and see how it’s changing the world very quickly. I’ve seen it first hand in Arctic Canada, Australia and North Africa. Before starlink the best they had was dialup. Now they video chat family and doctors, do school online and so much more. Easily a few billion people will use it.

You also forgot about AI data centres in orbit, on which SpaceX have pegged virtually all their valuation in.

> A 2 hr trip becoming a three hour trip only has to happen to you once a week for a few weeks before you realize the limitations.

Even if you’re driving at 80, that’s a 160 mile trip. What Tesla does your gf have? What’s the range?

> People only come out of the woodwork because it suddenly happened to be worth a lot

Isn’t that the entire point of agreeing to be paid in options instead of salary?

What’s the difference in using an AI as a tutor or paying a human tutor?

As long as they learn.

I still send hand written postcards all the time because I know people get a kick out of them.

Bonus points when you send them from a country people have to search a map to locate.

Does anyone know how this was made, and if it would be possible to make one for Canada?

I’m a bit of a hot spring nut, having been to well over 100 wilderness ones, including a few that less than 5 people have been to in ~100 years.

I’m always on the hunt for new ways to find unknown or rumoured ones.

Sweet. Minimum 20 years and $20Billion before any electricity is produced.

I wonder how much solar, wind and batteries you could get for that, and how quickly it would be deployed

This is the same response they’ll have when the AI launches nukes and starts annihilating the human race. No accountability till the end.

Tech radar has to keep the lights on somehow because they’re giving the article away for free.

Apple you paid a lot of money to already.

I set a do not disturb that runs 24x7 to turn that off

You mean Like the Whitehouse press room today?

Nobody said it was going to be easy.

Tons of people work remote from Mexico and Spain.

We know they have them for internal use, it seems crazy they won’t sell a box with, 2 or 4 or 8 or 10 Ultras crammed in.

Go somewhere you are forced to learn and speak it.

Defaulting to your native language will get zero comprehension, which is much more frustrating than some.

Yep, I learned Spanish, then French.

The trick is to immerse yourself. I spent 2 years in Latin America, then one in west Africa. If I wanted to talk to people, I simply had to learn.

Previously thought my engineer brain couldn’t do it.

> Its price reflects the sales expectations of Apple.

People famously said that of the first iPhone, expensive at the time.

Then about the $1k iPhone X.

Apple have made phones a fashion accessory and status symbol. I won’t be surprised if the Duo sells extreme well, even by iPhone standards.

I can’t help wondering if the whole process will be automated being an LLM.

Apple releases the M15, and using everything leaned while building drivers for the M4 - M14, the LLM just does the whole job and we have the drivers a day later.

Hopefully our grand children are alive to hear that explanation.

In my experience at weight watchers, 99% of people trying to lose weight simply have no idea they’re eating way more calories than they need, and they have absolution idea how insanely calorie sense some things are, like cashews.

For Burt everyone they don’t need to count calories, they just need to knockout a few calorie dense things and the weight comes off.

You mean privileged people in developed countries had it. Billions of people did not.

I’ve seen the first hand impact of starlink in communities that before had dialup as the fastest option from Australia to Tunisia to remote arctic Canada.

Medical stuff, school, talking to loved ones.

What are the odds right now this administration is still in power in 2030?

The great thing about robotaxi is we’ll get the real data. There will be no hiding when one seriously crashes and eventually kills someone.

Then we’ll get facts about deaths per miles driven etc.

News at 10: future products will surpass current products.

That is always true, in every industry.
