SpaceX has done some impressive engineering feats but so far the only part of the business that has been profitable is Starlink. More importantly, Elon merged his AI business into Starlink shortly before it went public. I read somewhere that approximately 93% of the value of the IPO was based on the AI side and its wildly speculative projections for future income.

My point is that it almost doesn’t matter what they do with Starship, the company is massively overvalued unless Grok suddenly becomes the most popular AI in the world and everyone begins tithing to it.

I thought that Anthropic et al. were charging enterprise accounts based on token usage rather than just a flat subscription fee. That’s why you see things like this.

Sorry if that’s true. I understood the word to mean aggressive growth at any cost to try and shut out competition before they can get established.

OpenAI and Anthropic will collapse in the next years

Stop, I can only handle so much good news!

I’m slightly optimistic that manufacturers will return to the retail market eventually. Every AI company is racing to hyperscale right now but there will be a point where the infrastructure is built and at that point the growth will slow down quite a bit. In that scenario there will be ongoing demand for components to be replaced as they become obsolete but I can’t imagine the demand will be the same level it is right now as everyone rushes to build.

That’s assuming this all works the way they want it to. If the economics aren’t viable and the bubble bursts…

Ok but it would take 70 users paying $200 to cover the cost of $14,000. So if one person maxes out their usage, there needs to be 69 users who do not use their account at all but are still paying. And that’s just the break even point, still no profit for the AI company.

I’m struggling to believe that many people would pay that much and then underuse the subscription. It seems far more likely to me that this pricing model isn’t sustainable.

The Frame is a VR headset. How is that comparable to the Steam Link that is meant for display on a screen?

Rogue One was enjoyable. Andor was great sci-fi, even could have stood alone outside of the Star Wars universe.

I find the 12-hour practical for daily life. But I put my phone on 24 hour time when I’m traveling and find that to be helpful.

Yes there’s always a team in the room. I was only stating that in this case it seemed like from the court summary, the other team members knew there was a problem with bleeding but were unaware he was resecting the liver until he pulled it out of the patient. It sounded like because of the excessive blood they simply couldn’t see well.

I’m not sure if you mean this generally before the case happened, or if you meant, did nobody try to stop him during the case?

I think before the case, there were a lot of people who were uneasy with him because of the types of mistakes he was making, although these were generally smaller, less serious mistakes. I think there had been some scrutiny of his practice, but I don’t recall the details.

During the case, it sounded like there was a complication with bleeding which partially obscured visibility in the operative field. The people in the room knew that the case was not going well because of the bleeding, but it wasn’t until he actually pulled the liver out of the patient that anyone realized how wrong things had gone.

There was a post about this case a month or two ago on Lemmy. I can’t find the link right now, I’m sorry. But in there, someone had posted a link to the case files for the court. You could see summaries of testimony from multiple nurses and scrub techs. The short version was that many of them had strong reservations about the surgeon prior to this case due to other errors. When this case happened, they were all pretty certain it was not the spleen immediately.

This is silly because I have a car with a frunk. It is rarely opened but I keep emergency supplies in there, leaving my trunk free. So anyone monitoring my usage would say I’m not using it very much.

The photo is taken with multiple flashes temporarily setup by the photographer. The helmet and light are not a prop - this is a wild cave with no lights installed.

Access to Lechuguilla has been very restricted by the National Park Service because the cave has such extensive beautiful but delicate formations. As such when people go in they are typically very experienced cavers. Accidents can still happen (I actually know someone who broke their arm in this cave but their group managed to self-rescue) but the Nutty Putty scenario resulting in complete closure is unlikely as 1) Nutty Putty was privately owned where this is owned by NPS and 2) this cave is considerably more valuable in multiple ways (including scientifically as the article demonstrates). Also I just want to say that sealing off Nutty Putty because of someone’s death is just such an unconscionable action. It’s like filling in a canyon with concrete because someone fell off a cliff.

Side note I hate to call one cave more ‘valuable’ than another but I don’t know a better way to say it. Lechuguilla is basically a world treasure due to the large amount incredible, pristine decorations. See photo for an example.

Can I get this on a t-shirt?

Maybe we are running different software versions then because on my Model 3 I have it set to cruise control instead of FSD and it definitely lets me go above the speed limit. I have it set to default to speed limit when activated but with the right thumb wheel I can adjust set speed up or down. I’ve included a screenshot of my settings in case it’s helpful to anyone.

There is a setting in the menu where you can deactivate autopilot/FSD yourself and instead have a normal cruise control function.

I think about this kind of simplistically.

Firstly, answer to yourself is it practically possible to store and use vast amounts of data safely, without risk of being compromised?

If you say no, then we shouldn’t be doing this. If you said yes:

Since you think it is practically possible to do safely, the penalty for any company who fails to do this should be instant corporate death. Automatic nationalization and liquidation to compensate the victims. People who are found in court to be responsible should face severe consequences. Criminal negligence, multiple counts.

That’s the only way I see to get all of these data hoarding fucks to take it seriously.

I believe you it just sounds like something made up by a Hollywood screenwriter. We need unobtanium to house the time crystal.
