If the traffic is encrypted, how would they know?

Dead Internet theory is becoming more than just a theory

You can do 4 just fine, it just looks goofy

Where’s the meme

I would tell my younger self to go to a psychiatrist and get some antidepressants about 2 years earlier than last time.

reverse psychology mm I like it

Keed using it, set up smartd to check up on it regularly and send you an email if something goes wrong.

I think the word you’re looking for is “funny”.

buy and maintain, it probably costs over $1M/yr in fuel and spare parts

doesn’t work for me in boost ):

Oh to play Outer Wilds for the first time again.

But as good as that sounds in theory, I would rather keep my memories untampered. Brains are really bad at actually remembering things as they were at the time when they were remembered, any tampering might as well go unnoticed. I would rather not experience my favorite media for the first time again and also not risk getting my entire personality rewritten because of a bug or even worse - deliberate action.

Futureproofing, I guess, but also I’m sure there are things other than language models that can benefit from a dedicated processing unit, like photo processing, smaller models, Lens, etc.

If it’s all in the cloud - yes. If some/most of it runs locally - still yes with a caveat - hardware acceleration can make it run both faster and at a lower battery cost, same how every computer has a dedicated graphics chip, whether as a separate expansion card or a separate module on the CPU. Yes, you technically can do all that math on CPU, it’s called software rendering, but rendering done with a purpose-built chip is so much better. Same logic applies to “AI”.

Starlinks do actually have stationkeeping thrusters, thats how they can spread apart after a group of them is deployed together, and that’s how they can have 5 year designed lifetime at an orbit this low.

Atmospheric drag, not gravity. ☝️🤓

Although technically correct because gravity is stronger on lower orbit owing to being closer to the Earth.

As will be every year after that. It’s all downhill from here folks.
