-They only got 130B -They planned to fix all this with 100B?

I see what you did there. 70B eh? They only got 50B. A paltry 20B?

The real number though, was gotten in a relatively short time. And now replacement tariffs are on the way. And many companies have re-thought of manufacturing outside US with the higher tariffs always being the possibility in the future too.


If the OP had (incorrectly) rounded 130B to 200B, OP's point would have still been perfectly understandable and correct. Your odd quibble about rounding completely misses the point. Whooosh.


Kinda cool but seems paltry during a time when we have Starlink, which also has space-to-space laser links between satellites, of 100-200Gbps in bandwidth.

Though I suppose this is a bit safer from Kessler syndrome


Expected something like deep explanations of why the kind of solutions used for video calling don't scale so easily due to not being able to use as simplistic and well understood server-side solutions like HLS or something.

But this is basically "A and B are different because A is used in different words than B is. Buy our proprietary alphabet give us money now".


How is one supposed to just accept this as part and parcel in the free world itself.


Humanity is imperfect/flawed…that’s how.


Because Adam was a spawn of a greater society.

It's better to read of what he thought of and learn from that, than to try to align oneself to the weird anti-human reaction his passing has raised from the woodwork.


Good god this is not good news. I knew Dilbert as long as I could read. The man as a thinker only fairly recently. To no loss.

The world is less without him.


Thought the product looks good for a prototype, but crazy as a published product.

Then found out it's a closed beta.

So ... ok? Closed beta test is doing what such a test is supposed to do. Sure, ideally the issue would have been figured out earlier, especially if this is a design issue and the parsing needs to be thought out again, but this is still reasonably inside the layers of redundancy for catching these kinds of things amicably.


Damn. And no large-scale military activity in play.

I hardly see how this could be considered anything but an absolute win, especially where Maduro has been considered being more and more authoritarian, rejecting democracy, and probably would've been willing to sacrifice thousands of lives in a ground war if this increasing threat was handled less finely.

Add to this the fact that Venezuela has crazy amounts of oil BUT a totally mismanaged and badly exploited extraction operation and the economy is in the toilet. Unless this somehow leads in to a Libya situation, everyone could benefit from this, compared to the hopelessness of the past.


> this increasing threat

What threat? There is no threat to the US from Venezuela. This is another Banana war.


> I hardly see how this could be considered anything but an absolute win

It has only been a few hours, so nobody knows what is going to follow. Even if US does not engage further this may well trigger a civil war in Venezuela with massive casualties.


Hope they'll fix the obvious bugs like CPU use going to 60% doing nothing after restore from hibernation next


It's never "doing nothing" - you just need more visibility into your running tasks.

Turning off nearly everything iCloud- or Spotlight-related is a pretty good start; disable network access and you may find even more pearls of wisdom.


Yeah that hardly talks of the "journalist" being good at their job. At worst they asked a biased question like "has this photo been AI generated and if then how" or worse.

People tend to think that AI is like a specific kind of human which knows other AI things better. But we should expect better from people that do writing as their job.
