Signal only sends a “new message, retrieve the rest from Signal” ping to your phone through Firebase. It doesn’t contain message details, just that you have a new message.

I only feel valued by my friends and family. My job doesn’t make me feel valued, nor does society. Without my family, I’d struggle to find reasons to go on.

Gotta do it one by one. It’s taken years, but now most of my stuff is off of Gmail. It’s to the point where if my Google account got closed, I wouldn’t miss much. I wouldn’t even lose my emails that I care about since I’ve done multiple Takeouts.

I just make up phone numbers.

I occasionally need to use Google Maps but I’ve helped map my area on OSM which improved my experience. Most businesses in my town are now mapped.

These data centers are NOT being used for research. Universities and research companies generally have their own computer clusters for that.

These are being designed and built for LLMs and LLMs only.

Plus, the US has already lost. We’ve cut off our allies, destroyed our trade partnerships, made the economy unsustainable, and also caused the very brain drain you mention here. We’re cooked for decades at the least.

That’s a bubble, quite literally. Collapsing into other companies. Do you think when people say bubble they mean that all companies related to LLMs will go under forever?

Their comment literally mentions Google and Facebook as the survivors, so I’m not sure what good it does to include them in your argument.

Typically, tech companies get around warn through garden leave, meaning you’re employed and paid for 60 days but not able to actually work. Then, at the end of 60 days, warn is posted and severance is distributed. Is that what you’re referring to?

Be careful not to introduce security vulnerabilities such as command injection, XSS, SQL injection, and other OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities. If you notice that you wrote insecure code, immediately fix it.

Lmao. I’m sure that will solve the problem of it writing insecure slop code.

Just scarred from all the times where we spend x billion to expand fiber, it doesn’t happen, somehow nobody gets held accountable.

That’s because historically, major ISPs have been given the grants (including Starlink) instead of PUDs. Public fiber is entirely different, it’s managed and installed like a public utility, not a service to be capitalized on. This is why I’ve been so focused on saying that SpaceX should never have been given $1 billion dollars. It shouldn’t have been given to any non public organization.

The FCC is the Federal Communication Commission for the US. They’re a US federal agency meant to do domestic policy in anything telecom and radio.

The intent of the subsidies was not for ships or international communication. It was meant for rural US properties. That’s why it should have been allocated to PUDs (public utility district). It would have been more useful for the people paying the taxes to give broadband subsidies.

Shipping companies can pay their own way - they’re corporations and can afford it. The subsides should not have gone to SpaceX.

Seattle typically doesn’t get hail core cumulonimbus (supercells). Plus, I’m not saying that it completely fails with just cloudy weather alone. Note that I said capacity, which is absolutely affected by moderate to heavy cloud cover or not being able to see the sky. Diminished capacity doesn’t mean it fails, it means that it’s slower, higher latency, and less reliable. In extreme cases involving hail storms (like I mentioned), it can and does fail - you can see this in the storm chaser streaming circles. Their streams cut out completely at times, if the satellites are between the storm and their antenna.

I am simply bringing up an edge case since the person who originally replied brought up ships when I was talking about rural fiber.

My point is still that SpaceX shouldn’t have gotten FCC subsidies when a more reliable, cheaper (especially in the long run since we’re talking about LEO), higher bandwidth, lower latency option exists. PUDs should have gotten all of that cash, not a different, large ISP owned by a billionaire.

An added bonus to fiber: it doesn’t ruin ground based astronomy.

I know not all remote areas can be reached by fiber

Did you miss this part? You’re arguing over something I didn’t claim, and didn’t say.

But since you brought it up, SpaceX received nearly $1 billion in subsidies from the FCC in 2020 to support rural customers. That money is what I’m talking about. It wasn’t for ships. It was to connect rural customers because it would otherwise not be profitable for large ISPs to serve them. This billion should have gone to supporting county PUDs, not a rich nazi fuck’s company. It should have stayed with the public.

Unless you’re saying that the billion from taxpayers should have been given to him to support ships in international waters?

As a bonus, fiber doesn’t lose capacity just because it gets cloudy. Try using Starlink when a cumulonimbus cloud is overhead.

It would be better to support public fiber infrastructure (through PUDs) in almost every way. I know not all remote areas can be reached with fiber, but most rural areas can be. My county has done exactly that with the rural portions - they focused on rolling it out to underserved rural areas first (even though it was more expensive to do that up front). Now, those rural areas have gigabit fiber and they didn’t have to pay tens of thousands to wire it up to their homes.

That’s likely exactly what it means.

I’m glad to see that Graphene won’t be doing the age verification thing, because I’m afraid all new phones (including TracFones) will require it moving forward. But the hardware limitations will continue to be a blocker for people with cheap phones.

I agree on wanting to ditch my phone altogether. Maybe if I can retire, I can ditch it.

Apple has their own SoCs based on ARM called “Apple Silicon”

Yeah, hopefully worst case, Motorola just doesn’t ship them with Graphene (which could be a security risk anyway). Then they’d be off the hook.
