Meanwhile Starlink and Starshield: Hold my beer ;-)

I believe this will get solved once agent protocol is adopted widespread.

anecdata: The responses of grok on X in my language are really good. the tone, sarcasm, level of "vulgarity" in response is so accurate that it seem its written by human

May be when robots truly arrived. We don't have to work and we get to spend more time with our kids.

Slightly tangent. At some point in future I can imagine humanoid robots will be doing this job. Of course, the robots need to be super reliable before we hand over the our kids

Apple notes app works well for me. I just keep top 3 things to do everyday. not to me mention these top 3 are for everything - personal work and everything else. just top 3 things. that's it.

In undergrad(around 2005) we used to have a COBOL lab, most of the assignments were pretty much add/update/delete types. A friend of mine found COBOL so boring, in order to keep it interesting he wrote COBOL program for brothel(not real one), to maintain the customers, prostitutes, transactions and whole nine yard. Despite of not liking the language, he was the best COBOL programmer in college.

Well I did not even bring Elon into my original post. What I wrote is true regardless of whether its starlink or some other constellation. e.g satphones are routinely used across the world in conflict/insurgency areas. Starlink is already being used in insurgency in NE part of India and so on.

why i am being downvoted for this :confused:

Internet shutdown typically happens during riots/ violent protests. Starlink makes "internet shutdown" impotent. Though Starlink has to follow country's laws and actually shutdown the internet. Most if not all protest are sponsored by entities that are against the host country and they will find ways to enable the internet for protesters with starlink or some other ways.

population size? imo it makes huge difference in how effective you can govern.

Do it! I am waiting for my 7 month old to become big enough to be ready for 6 hour drive. I plan to make it annual ritual to visit Starbase with kids.

if you can, visit Starbase. I can't believe its so easy and you can see those huge rockets from so close. No permission of anything needed you just drive to there.

In recent India's general election. A deepfake video of a leading politician costed a massive vote shift and they almost lost an election. The damage was done by the time they have clarified it is fake.

even if we assume you are comment is correct. Lets extrapolate what happens next. talented team, biggest compute among all competitors and CEO who is hell bent on winning the race. imo that is the reason it is big deal.
