Yeah where I live, we don't even have separate recycling bins for presorting, the garbage company decided it's more efficient to just let everyone throw all their waste into one bin and do the sorting themselves.

Now we just need to replace every driver with her and we'll all be super-safe!

Would she, perhaps, like to be cloned or live in a Docker container?

Many of the popular tools and workflows have a bad habit of downloading a model quite frequently, even if they have been downloaded before. This is especially the case when it is being distributed over several GPUs and each only downloads a portion of the model.
This is combined with countless models uploaded to huggingface which are fine-tunes, quantizations, etc, that he probably counts in those totals.
There some ML test workflows download the model each time a new commit is made to their frameworks.
I would buy a billion downloads of all that put together, though nowhere near a billion unique downloaders.

It would be a private internet if anything were actually hosted on those nodes. At best it's a private peer exchange in the making, with the caveat that the available bandwidth of ISL with Starlink v2-mini constitutes only about 5% the carrying capacity of an individual Starlink ground-sat-ground relay, meaning we're not at the point that other ISPs would see a performance benefit to routing traffic via Starlink as opposed to terrestrial undersea cable (that irresponsible/malicious countries can just drag an anchor across, hint hint CHINA). I'd expect the full size Starlink v2 satellites launched by Starship to improve that by adding more ISL per satellite so that it functions more like a mesh network across orbital planes as opposed to only bridging with the previous and next satellites in the same orbital plane.

I'll just ask the echo to read me the text from "Go the F**K to sleep" and I'll have saved 96 cents already!

There was a bit of an annoyance if you have multiple Teslas. While the app works fine without the internet, the bluetooth key only works for the car you currently have selected. During the outage I was unable to switch my selected car, and thus couldn't use the bluetooth to open feature. I just used the keycard though.

While the media takeaway isn't the greatest, the actual interview is quite worth listening to. It's a little bit like a Carmack keynote in interview form. Though if you follow Carmack, a reasonable amount of it won't be new to you.

Yeah, the frame rate really sucked back when the pixels were getting updated by hand!

I previously tried the eGPU developer kit, but rarely used it since it wouldn't connect to my 5K monitor and was noisy.

I wanted something I could leave connected all the time and still have my MBP just connect up to everything with 1 cable.

I'm pretty happy with it, it made my MBP much faster for 3d, it works with my 5K monitor and it's very quiet. If anything, it actually makes my overall setup a little quieter since the mac's fans no longer spin up due to the 5K monitor load.

I have a PC I use for VR which is still faster, but for 95% of what I want to do, this is great, and it avoids me needing to touch Windows most of the time.

So I guess portal cores are an actual thing now

I agree, I'm pretty sure things are accelerating pretty rapidly.

I took delivery of my model 3 last week. When I was taking delivery in Bellevue I met a couple employees who were flown in from Texas to help out with the increased load. (They are moving from West to East in deliveries.)

There were at least 5 or 6 other Model 3s in the delivery area waiting for pickup.

I have 2 friends who have also gotten their notifications to do configuration of their orders. (It took about 2.5 weeks from when I got the notification until when I took delivery)

Same. I'm still running 5.28. I expected shenanigans with the new versions, but not to this level.

This one wasn't an XT model, although it did come with a 10MB hard drive as well as a 360K DS-DD floppy drive, monochrome green screen, 256K of RAM, and IBM PC-DOS 3.1. Took about five minutes to boot, and came with a copy of WordStar for DOS which got me through 4th, 5th and 6th grades.

Middle of 7th grade, one of my mom's friends had just bought herself an IBM ThinkPad, and needed to get rid of her Compaq 286, 40MB hard drive, 14" 640x480 VGA monitor, MS-DOS 5. I only had that computer for about a month, because one of dad's coworkers in computer resources heard about my interest in building computers and dug an Intel 386DX-25 chip, motherboard and 4MB RAM out of company storage, suggested we get the rest of the parts needed to get it running at the San Diego Computer Show. That ended up being the first computer I built.
