"No car on the market should ever have its functionality dependent on another device. "

Is there any car that actually does depend on another device?

The *stated* purpose of the 1Gbps target was to track the rate of spread of higher speeds to find where there are regulatory obstacles. By definition, you need to start with a value is is not available in most places.

The only reason to oppose the target is if you oppose removing regulatory obstacles. Apparently Brendan Carr is adding opposition to removing regulatory obstacles to his opposition to free speech.

This is just more fodder for America's favorite podcast-within-a-podcast "Brendan Carr Is A Dummy".

Free as in speech (maximal rights)
Free as in beer (zero price)
Free as in yacht (capex vs opex)
Free as in mattress (value below price)

Now, free as in Comcast (worthless, do not want)

What was Yann LeCun's reaction when you proved him wrong about Logic Theorist?

"Well then what is the fucking point of all this? "

If the only use you get out of your driver's license is for traffic stops, then it is not useful for you.

However, in the real world the driver's license has been overloaded with non-driver uses attached to identification: buying alcohol, entering a courthouse or airport, etc.

(*Theoretically*, digital identification could limit the requestor to only the data they are entitled to request, e.g. if used for buying alcohol it could provide age verification but not your address. )

"Why not solve this at the supply side and add more power plants?"

And I mentioned elsewhere: the minimum generation capacity you need at your plants, and therefor your fixed costs, is a function of peak usage, but the minimum price per unit you need to earn to pay for that capacity is a function of average usage.

Building more capacity that is only needed for the peak will push up the average price you need to charge to break even. At some point your customers start cutting back on their average demand causing a price death spiral.

They're not comparing $325-per-megawatt-day to 6.8 GW, they're evaluating PJM on two different criteria: price vs. peak instantaneous capacity.

The minimum generation capacity you need at your plants, and therefor your fixed costs, is a function of peak usage, but the minimum price per unit you need to earn to pay for that capacity is a function of average usage. What those numbers are saying is that their demand is peaky enough that they are out of capacity but low enough at other times that they can't make enough money to build capacity just for the peak that will sit idle for the rest of the day.

This is why it makes sense to offer variable rates to industrial customers even though the marginal costs of fuel don't change throughout the day. The limiting factor is is capacity and the supply curve goes pretty much vertical in the short term.

What PJM is asking for is essentially the extreme form of a variable rate: taking the supply curve to infinite slope to incentivize demand that can go to zero to do so.

"Are you saying that they developed working AI in the 1960's?"

Logic Theorist came out in 1956.

"this guy tried, is perfectly acceptable"

Court filings are for the specified purposes of the court, and have specified formats. This guy submitted malformed documents for a non-court purpose.

"It’s also acceptable for the court to catch it and require the guy to submit hardcopy."

There would be no basis for the court to reject the filings if they were acceptable. That's what "acceptable" means.

Apple already requires an app owners to submit financial records which would show the source of revenue related to the link outs.

" Art classes may be an exception"

Someone has to make the advertisements.

I have a PhD which means I am as qualified to teach the class where I got a B as the professor who insisted on the wrong asnwers.

Locally, the universe *is* flat. For most points in the universe the map representation is more local that the real location, so a map should be even MORE flat.

A counter-counter point I would offer is that getting all Bs during my first semester of college made me evaluate the value of an A over a B versus the effort of an A over a B. It's not always worth the effort for the external validation.

By the time I was in grad school I only got one B. It was the first part of a two course sequence and the professor insisted on objectively incorrect answers, made up a test section out of whole cloth during the time was I was TA for a lab, and didn't come in to his office all day when he scheduled me for a make-up exam. The second part was taught by a different professor and I aced it. So fuck that guy, it was not worth the effort to squeeze an A out of him.
