Doesn't StarLink keep raising its rates, a la Comcast?

I now see the statement "All plans include Unlimited Data".

Still wondering about those upload speeds, though.

The only Comcast link provided talks mostly about wi-fi for some reason... and does NOT mention data caps, one way or the other. I'd really like to see an explicit statement "we are removing our data caps".

I'll also be curious to see if these new plans would actually nerf my current Comcast upload speed, which is officially 150mbps but typically is just shy of 180mbps. That upload speed is more important to me than the 1.2TB cap, which I've only hit once.

The missing preposition got shipped to Haiti prematurely.

Obligatory Futurama.

Yet another reason to use open source virtualization - the legal cost of proprietary can be unbounded.

Plenty of former Oracle customers use PostgreSQL now for similar reasons.

The Fortune 50 can afford the risk of proprietary but most small businesses can't.

Unless you violate the BusyBox license you shouldn't have any worries.

I wonder if any insurers are covering this yet.

Right, LLMs are error prone word calculators. Tools do not help you learn, tools help you accomplish a task with less work.

Adding the confidence would help you know when the LLM is making shit up, but wouldn't help you get better results from an error prone word calculator.

A full system crash is a bad thing - most people could agree to this.

So after all the kerfuffle about IDE controllers having master/slave drives, microcode blacklists being offensive, etc. Microsoft of all companies is making their crash screen black?

I don't care but it's shockingly inconsistent.

At least the Andorians won't be offended anymore.

People ought to be incentivized to reduce plastic on their own, especially food, due to the estrogenic effects.

They say it's a "great mystery" why males have historical low testosterone and women have messed up cycles.

I just found out last week that my chewing gum (notionally a xylitol-carrier) is made with "gum base" which I presumed is a mixture of several plant and tree gums.

Nope! FDA allows, and the market dominates, mixtures containing polyethylene, polystyrene, etc. Real gums went out when I was a kid.

I'm not on the microplastics scare wagon but this is out of control!

Bobby is doing great things with coal tar dyes, so maybe there's hope for plastics (then wheat contaminants, ideally).

You have the option of additional security by moving additional services out of the Windows kernel.

Both methods can get you "a job".

If you want to be a 9-5'er that's fine but outside of the trades that's really unstable work. Pink slips and bankruptcies everywhere.

Work your social networks (family, church, community groups) for opportunities to earn money on your terms, if you can handle it.

LLMs are just word calculators, error prone calculators at that.

This is marketing speak, reality is that Salesforce AI fails more than it works. Working 30% to 50% of the time means failing 50% to 70% of the time.

Interesting because the moral argument is about reproduction.

I own a notepad and a pencil. But if I start writing "A long time ago in Galaxy far, far away" and continue as such, 'you' will threaten to beat me up and put me in a cage for years (if I persist despite threats).

That just obliterates real property rights in favor of imaginary property rights. And real property rights are the basis of a peaceful civilization.

On the other hand, the AI bros have a moral obligation to not suddenly destroy society's creative engine of thinkers to make a quick buck.

On the other ... tail ... the lizard at Facebook has no morals. People expect their government to protect them from such predators because their government school taught them a fairy tale version of what government is.

7+7 is how the Founders understood the Constitutional bargain.

Mark Twain planned to add a new chapter to each of his books every seven years.

"You do want to know what happened next, don't you?"

Life+75 is just abuse and Corporate Welfare (but I repeat myself).
