World order? I don't think a shift from being dependent on a resource that's not unlimited isn't unreasonable and may even be proactive.

Don't self-hosted images in the email signature allow you to track whether the email was opened or not and potentially where it was opened? I can only imagine they want you to pay for that privilege as a service.

From what I'm reading on the shortage, they are very aware of this fact (prices being highly cyclical) and they're trying to avoid overproducing RAM to avoid the oversupply glut. That's probably going to hurt the chance of prices coming down anytime soon.

In my opinion, get the Flint 2, the Flint 3 doesn't work with vanilla OpenWRT (but it does work with GL.iNet's OpenWrt fork). Then again, I don't need the 5x2.5G ports or Wifi 7 since my internet only goes to 1G.

So the choice becomes to either 1) Use the AI tools as much as you can before they increase prices/tighten usage or 2) Stop using them so you won't be compelled to pay more later when the price inevitably goes up/your regular plan gets downgraded?

I would think companies would set the usage low and increase it with capacity rather than subsidizing the power users and going into the red. Maybe my strategy wouldn't be aggressive enough to capture the market, which I'm sure the major AI companies are trying to do.

Interestingly, I started coding with Claude a couple weeks ago (with my only other experience being vbcode 20 years ago) and it's been surprisingly good at starting code from scratch but as soon as the code gets a little complex it takes a lot of tokens to make a simple change which makes it somewhat impractical for all but the most basic applications. That said, I'm not referring to objects by inspecting the code and asking for changes to certain lines, I'm saying "In the results bar, change the title of the result to a clickable link that directs to X." which may require a little translation before Claude picks up on what I want. Even so, I was able to build a somewhat usable application within a week (minus a few bugs).

Does Google allow a privacy card that you can control whether an account is connected to it or not? That wouldn't help if someone racked up a ton of charges and Google bills daily, though.

Serial numbers are security theater on the same level as TSA checkpoints at the airport.

David Tennant was a great Doctor Who. It's definitely still a good show and I'm sure they didn't swap out the entire production cast between those seasons to 'wokify' it.

Reminds me of this quote... “A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.”

*290 people. Mistook an Airbus A300 for an F-14. Maybe it's an easy mistake to make on radar back in the day?

Aside from it being an unstable store of value, but that's a problem with all cryptos (and stablecoins, when they collapse).

This checks out. "Miles Between Accidents: Based on an average rate of ~0.74 per million miles, this equates to roughly one accident for every 1.35 million miles driven."

That seems low. Is it a corporate strategy to set a low salary and when nobody local fills it (because it's below the competitive rate) they get to hire H1-B?
