Because there are essentially only 2 or 3 SMS gateways, which all have really damn good filtering at scale.

Not talked about much, but the backhaul SMS network (known as "aggregators") is similar to the internet in that there are large backhaul providers and then "last mile" providers (such as cell carriers, or companies like apple / google / twilio) that all run through the same aggregators.

The aggregators are pretty damn good at processing / filtering spam. Also, when you see text messages that say you can respond w/ "STOP", this is handled at the aggregator level, and will block that originator from issuing more messages your cell number.

100% the same setup here too. I've had a "catch all" email address that Gmail polls and fetches, then sorts based on the destination email address. Without this now, and due to other shit Google has been doing, I don't see a reason to keep Gmail as my email client anymore. There are plenty of feature-parity-enough web based email clients in the world now, I don't need them anymore.

Gmail being the email client effectively makes it a "single machine" - and this has worked well for over two decades until now.

Replying to myself since I was curious and had to look it up:

The International Space Station has about 100 kilowatts power generation capability.

The article says "datacenters" - plural, but for now, let's just assume a single gigawatt datacenter in space in 20 years.

That's about 7300 days.

A single gigawatt datacenter would consume about 10,000x the power generation capabilities of the ISS.

Starting today, we'd need to launch more than 1 ISS PER DAY to reach this goal in 20 years, for a single gigawatt datacenter.

I think this brings the absurdity of the situation into a little more crystal clear of a picture.

This is the same type of investor hype bullshit Musk has been peddling about sending people to Mars.

Throw out some wildly huge numbers with minuscule small timelines.

Why? Because they both own space agencies. That's it. That's all it is.

They're both already doing really cool and innovative stuff with their space agencies! They don't NEED to be blowing smoke out their asses, but they're constantly in this pissing contest to see who can come up with the most "believable" and yet wildly outlandish idea of their capabilities.

Oh, so THATS why IBM purchased RedHat, so that way they have an alternate name to scapegoat and not impact their own reputation or stock value!

"public" interest... you mean "billionaire owner" interests, am i right?

consolidation at this scale has never helped individuals or communities other than those at the top. this is just more of the same BS.

Okay, now show us the results. "like slack or teams" doesnt mean much, you're obfuscating what it is actually capable of. Are we talking a generic chat system, super basic? or IRC level with users/rooms? what about user registration, activation, moderation? Does it do multimedia like slack/teams? Can you audio/video call?

This right now screams of over-hyping its capabilities and the replacement of human developers even tho it can't do a fraction of what humans can.

When TVs were relatively shit-tier compared to what we have today, a 14in tube sitting on a desk... Movie going made sense.

The same cost/value of that old CRT then, now gets you 4K 65in at home. We've reached the point where it is "good enough"

Plus holyhell are snacks at the movies ungodly expensive. And the cost of the movie tickets themselves. I don't wanna spend $100-200 to take a family or group of friends out to the theater and get snacks there. We can have a more enjoyable experience here at home for a fraction of the cost with better food/snacks/drinks and enjoy things on our schedules, not someone else's. And once the movie is over, we can shift over to gaming on the same screen too!

Who the fuck wants to use a cell phone to interact w/ code on the regular !?

We already have adversarial network training methods. Each time I see a "tool that detects AI" I can only imagine the AI tool makers are also going to start using these tools to do adversarial training on their models / outputs to bypass whatever checks these tools do.

Then again, we're getting closer and closer to XKCD's reality: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fxkcd.com%2F810%2F

The TIOBE index is bullshit. We go over this EVERY fucking time the list gets updated.

Its entirely based on "how many results does Google claim exist?" - which is not an accurate metric to begin with for a multitude of reasons, the largest of which is that Google only uses an estimate for the number of results. But as you traverse the results for a given query, the max quantity reported will dramatically shift around as it hits different servers w/ a different view of the estimated total.

And let's not even get into the fact that number of pages on the internet != popularity of a language. It instead represent the quality of documentation for a language, as languages with the best docs need fewer external tutorials/explanations on how to get shit done w/ the language, therefor they rank "lower" based on this bullshit metric.

Why not just take the DirectX vendor agnostic path and make DirectAI, a universal interface to AI shit so we as consumers can pick our own slop!?

Its called Science.

You don't trust a single simulation. You test, validate, re-test, re-validate, rinse and repeat over again with different variables tweeked to ensure validity.
