Fun Fact: The head of Kuiper at Amazon - Rajeev Badyal (previously from Microsoft) - was fired from heading Starlink at SpaceX in 2018 by Musk for going too slow...

The summary seems wrong, the Qwen-2.5-max blogpost compares against v3, not r1. This Qwen model doesn't appear to be trained to reason, unless I missed something. It's just a traditional LLM base model.

No, only that people can't read, which is nothing new. This is the literal quote from the deepseek v3 paper: "Note that the aforementioned costs include only the official training of DeepSeek-V3, excluding the costs associated with prior research and ablation experiments on architectures, algorithms, or data."

In other words, this is only what deepseek has been saying from the very beginning in its public tech report.

The key thing to realize is that phone cpus vastly outnumber desktop cpus nowadays. In other words, TSMC can spread its R&D funding using way bigger market than Intel can.

Are they actually banning lab-grown meat or just not allowing it to be called meat? ie, a "Meat" vs "Cultured beef protein" thing?

The challenge with cars is different though. Apple likes to design "The Ultimate Gadget". They have actually very few options in any line of product. Either just one or small/mid/big and that's it. They like to have people locked-in into an apple-only household where you interact only with only their products and it just works(tm). Now - how do you translate that into a car market? There's natural segmentation there and do you expect Apple to fill all the niches? Will they release all of the iCab, iSedan, iTruck? Or will you have one apple car and then some other one? That wouldn't fit well into the Apple vision though.

Amazing for emergencies as you said, but also - don't forget IoT.

Umm.. the most used apps today are exactly that - remote webapps. Not really that big conceptual difference between streaming HTML/CSS/JS and streaming X11 commands.

I like "literary criticism run amok".

I don't think it'd hard to change firmware in the Starlink sats to make their phased array antennas act like Ku-band SAR though...

What happens to the derivative works you created if you later sell the token?

Given that Kaspersky was trusted enough to create the online voting system Russians began to use, I very much doubt he could be anti-Putin.

Try that on the Earth sometime. :-) I have hunted my share of radiosondes and this is extremely tricky in practice unless you have a direct line of sight. The signal gets obstructed by terrain and reflects from surfaces.

The main point is to save time on porting, from OS-specific APIs to maintaining constantly breaking cross-compiling chains for OSes you never actually use personally.

Exactly, and N26 or Revolut are getting pretty big in Europe. They are app-only with literally no physical branches. (Revolut isn't quite a bank just a credit card though that's often enough, but N26 is a real one.) It turns out that banking can be quite simple, a breeze with a well-designed app, and completely remote.
