I’m sorry but the gotcha here is that.. the owner is in a family that also owns an air charter business with all of four small private jets and an air-ambulance business?

Give me a break, what does this have anything to do with the content of the article.

You can use any one of many MVNOs to get unlimited data for around that price, say less adjusted for household income, in the USA.

A favorite of mine is https://www.usmobile.com/ which is $25/mo list price (and less if you pay for the year, or if they're having a sale) which will give you Unlimited Data and 1GB a month of global roaming data

If you pay $45 you can get unlimited data from Mint for $15/mo: https://www.mintmobile.com/plans/

It's not unheard of!

It's actually the high speed internet at home that is less competitive - the prices in Europe are unheard of.

1. This entire page is written by an LLM. It is slop.

2. There is no evidence to support this at all, it is something a comic book author made up

I scoffed at it, as someone that grew up in California and never lived anywhere cold.

Man, when it's freezing outside, it's awesome. I wouldn't buy a car without it now.

Public disclosure of Mythos was April 7 and leaked happened in March, but it's been heavily delayed for well-known reasons.

That said, as the frontier moves, "months old" becomes more and more useful. Opus-tier models are being used to write serious software, so we're going to start seeing open models pick up a lot more usage imo.

In my experience the downtime tends to coincide with peak PT timezones. If you're in PT, it's very inconvienent.

You're welcome to take an MIT-licensed project, fork it, and relicense it as GPL. The inverse? not so much.

Hard to sell it as anything but an upgrade if you care about open source.

This is, I'm sorry to say, simply not true. Anthropic and Open AI are materially ahead of every open source model out there at this time. The best they can hope to do is be Sonnet-adjacent, and even then I have not seen it.

Yes, that's in kg

Grid-connected PV in Texas has grown between 33% and over 100% every year since 2008, which outpaces the growth of solar in the US in the same timeframe.

California's percentage of solar generation as a share of the entire solar generation in the USA has shrunk every year since 2016.

It's not been accurate to say that California is dragging the rest of the country with them for a long time when it comes to energy generation.

It's interesting that people have a hard time visualizing this. The area in Earth's LEO is, definitionally, bigger than the Earth itself.

The SEA parking garage fits 12,000 cars in it. Two of those spread over the entire planet would be an imperceptible amount of space. You could drop a pin on a map your entire life and probably never hit one.

Cargo ships have very few crew as-is, I'd imagine there isn't a huge need to lower that from where it is now.

If something breaks in the middle of the ocean, it's probably better to have a few people on board who can fix it.

I wouldn't say it's closing to completion - it looks like it's in the very early stages development according to their repo. I don't see any evidence they've gotten as far as even running a single query through it.

Even when it's done, it's going to be a lot of work to run. sure, it's not guaranteed to be hard, but if it's not your core business and you're making money, having someone else do it gives you time to focus on what matters.
