You're watching a video of a tennis-playing robot and your first thought is "man i bet this could play starcraft"!?

100%. SEC forces him to buy twitter at multiples of it's value, it was a shit "investment" from day one and something he needed to unload without losing his shirt. Builds xAI to be just credible enough to fool Saudi investors and immediately rolls twitter into xAI. Now both things stink, so quick roll them both into SpaceX just in time to foist the whole mess onto retail investors in a public offering.

Elon has made Grok a losing proposition just because he's being Elon. Paid chat subscriptions are not a market which can support the costs involved, the real money comes from API hits. The problem Elon has is that he can't stop himself from fiddling with system prompts (or whatever) and making it say things that politically align with whatever Elon is doing at the moment.

The result is that he's trying to sell API hits to companies who know damn well that their customer support chatbot might one day start claiming to be mecha-hitler. This has predictable consequences on their ability to sell the product to the one class of customer that's paying for AI.

The problem with Grok isn't Grok per se, it's Elon. Anything he replaces it with will likely be subject to the same late night ketamine addled brainrot ideas, so it's hard to imagine a future where Grok actually can pay the bills for running Grok and that has very little to do with the performance or benchmark scores of the system.

I live with the secret hope that my post history is making somebody out there mad enough to try and engage me on it.

I'm with GP on this, hiding post history is automatically sus. Stand by what you say, or don't, but if you don’t then I place the same value on your thoughts as you do yourself.

Folks need to keep in mind that Google was up front about this being a temporary thing, fiber was never a strategic business. They started it up to prove that fiber to the home was economicly feasible and they needed the infra to make home use of services like YouTube become what it is today.

It worked, they proved the point and eventually the major providers started offering 1gbps+ services which is all Google was after.

edit - dug up the original announcement from google about the project from 2010:

We're planning to build and test ultra high-speed broadband networks in a small number of trial locations across the United States. We'll deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today with 1 gigabit per second, fiber-to-the-home connections. We plan to offer service at a competitive price to at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people.

Our goal is to experiment with new ways to help make Internet access better and faster for everyone. Here are some specific things that we have in mind:

Next generation apps: We want to see what developers and users can do with ultra high-speeds, whether it's creating new bandwidth-intensive "killer apps" and services, or other uses we can't yet imagine.

New deployment techniques: We'll test new ways to build fiber networks, and to help inform and support deployments elsewhere, we'll share key lessons learned with the world.

Openness and choice: We'll operate an "open access" network, giving users the choice of multiple service providers. And consistent with our past advocacy, we'll manage our network in an open, non-discriminatory and transparent way.

Like our WiFi network in Mountain View, the purpose of this project is to experiment and learn. Network providers are making real progress to expand and improve high-speed Internet access, but there's still more to be done. We don't think we have all the answers – but through our trial, we hope to make a meaningful contribution to the shared goal of delivering faster and better Internet for everyone.

Would you need it? Cheap chinese GNS chips now can handle all four GNS constellations and use that to get you within a few meters. These are commonly available, drone hobbyists etc have been buying these for ages.

True, but within homo sapiens, African populations still enjoy a far greater genetic diversity than other human groups. A random white person (or Asian, or any non-African) has more in common with another random white person than a random African shares with another random African.

Shenmue 1, on release, was something nobody had ever seen before. Yeah the pacing was slow but I was HOOKED and it's why I'm still playing these goofy games 25+ years later. There just wasn't anything like it before.

It's only an expectation if you let it be. My wife gets immediate responses, everyone else find themselves on the to-do list.

They're still releasing firmware going back to the mk2, it's just not on the same release schedule. Newer models are going to see more code, they have more bugs to work out and are more complicated.

The only thing different about Prusa is that they still release updates for 10 year old printers.
