Anthropic should run it on their own code

For $380B you can get both AT&T and Verizon and you pay ~1.55x the revenue. Why pay 38x for Starlink?

What do you mean $380B? This "fair market value" forecast also includes $147B for starlink enterprise and $75B for starlink direct-to-cell. So almost $600B all in.

Starlink is less than 10 years away from providing full data services to cellphones globally, allowing them to offer a better service at a cheaper rate to AT&T and Verizon. Not to mention more coverage.

Also, AT&T and Verizon customers don't love their provider. They despise them. I walked into a Verizon store last year and was outright scammed by the staff member into their insurance plan after explicitly declining it (they just added it to the bill anyway).

These legacy companies will be irrelevant.


> Starlink is less than 10 years away from providing full data services to cellphones globally

10 years is a long time, considering the global reactions to America under Trump, and also Musk's tight coupling to Trump, and even in the US given how many bridges Musk burned.

If Starlink was properly spun off and independent of Musk this would be much less of an issue, but now? Now the rest of the world is likely to treat it like the US treats Huawei.


Tip, you may want to use origin/HEAD over origin/master


Is it the naming-independent identifier of the tip of the trunk?


not strictly speaking, but in practice it's the tip of the remote default branch

It does


Would me be nice to try this on lcg (CP-SAT) solvers


Is the a b test tired to the installation or the user?


I instruct Claude to write like peff, writes much better commit messages now


If only the streaming giants would let us stream in decent quality..


Hey Boris, can you teach CC how to use cd?


Personally, CLAUDE_BASH_MAINTAIN_PROJECT_WORKING_DIR=1 made all my cd problems go away (which were only really in cmake-based projects to begin with).


So it does a forced reset of the dirt after each bash command? Does it confuse Claude? I frequently find it lacks path awareness of what it's working directory is


That’s exactly what it does, I’ve found it completely un-confuses Claude Sonnet 4.5.


Probably they tried a real operating system.


Linux and the other unices are great for their CLI, but GUIs seem more like an afterthought on that side.


I find KDE Plasma to be much better than Windows and MacOS.


While Plasma is among the better desktop options, it’s still something of an acquired taste, being a significantly different flavor from either mainstream commercial OS (and particularly un-Mac-like). I know some like it, but having used it on various single-purpose machines of my own I don’t think I could make it the desktop of my daily driver or work machines.


Windows is very similar to Plasma and copies it sometimes, but is much worse.


Hard disagree. I find that Linux (particularly but not exclusively Gnome) is actually even better than Windows or Mac OS. I hate having to use Windows or Mac again for how clumsy and poorly thought out they are. It took how long before they finally got Window snapping? And file search is still atrocious on both, and getting worse on Windows.

It always seemed to me the people who deride Linux's desktop GUI are those who actually never bothered to use it, especially not seriously in the past decade.


I’ve been using COSMIC for the past month and it definitely doesn’t feel like an afterthought. Unlike Windows, it has window tiling, for one.
