There are two ways to challenge FCC decisions. There is the upfront approach where a business whose operations are harmed by an FCC decision sues to block the decision. Then there is the approach where said business announces their non-compliance and dares the FCC to sue them. The FCC does not have criminal charging authority, so it has to rely on courts to enforce compliance. See the Federal Communications Commission v. AT&T case that just wrapped up at the Supreme Court.

I hear you, but with the hype surrounding Mythos the demand is going to be insane. I'm already hitting server errors in claude code.

I expect the FCC to adopt this rule, and I also expect it to be challenged in court, on the basis that there are many other approaches to fighting spam calls that the FCC has not tried, but are much less intrusive.

So we know what they are renting these GPUs for. I'm really curious about the input costs of their power generation. Is there actually enough margin in these deals for xAI to cover their depreciation cost?

Edit: from the footnotes: > Colossus actually runs largely on its own on-site gas turbines, which comes out even cheaper: at a simple-cycle heat rate of ~10,000 Btu/kWh and Henry Hub gas at ~$3.50/MMBtu, the fuel bill is only around $90mn a year.

OK, that's crazy. How can I get into renting GPUs to hyperscalers?

Anyone remember the old days when a new frontend framework came out every 3 months. That has pretty much stopped. No one cares anymore.

As per usual arrangement, the internet can't stand a nuanced opinion, but instead jumps straight to extreme conclusions. Nowhere did I say anything about wallowing in poverty.

> We need universal childcare services

Birth rates have been falling worldwide, regardless of the level of government support. It's much more a matter of attitudes about having children.

> The economic costs of having children at a replacement rate are simply too high

Nope. My wife and I have 4 children, on a lower-middle-class income in the US. Your lifestyle choices matter a lot. If you want to have children, you can find a way to afford them.

I once submitted a PR to Ladybird, but even in early AI days there were so many open PRs that mine got lost in the noise. I don't really blame the maintainers here. Once the open PRs get to a certain point, it becomes unmanageable.

Fortunately RAM is largely a commodity and more for sale only in China means more for sale elsewhere.

That doesn't mean it can't be used as a market signal. These 2 things can both be true at once.

> Do other budget brands really print as well as Bambu out of the box with no tinkering?

Yes, everyone has caught up to Bambu these days. I have personal experience with Creality and Anycubic.

3D printing is still very much an enthusiast, techie driver market. The degree to which Bambu has done their best to alienate that market is beyond astonishing.

I really like Bambu's machines. Their quality and prices are both excellent. But they no longer have an edge feature and speed wise. I can get pretty much the same product from Creality, so why would I even entertain a user-hostile company like Bambu?

I once updated my Epson, and it started rejecting aftermarket ink. Fortunately there is a way to downgrade the firmware.

Never buying a cartridge based inkjet printer again.

Most important question: can I run Lineage on it, or will this be the start of a departure of Google allowing OEM unlock on Android?

This sentence in Bambu Lab's blog post is wild:

> We have documented incidents of service outages caused precisely by spikes in unauthorized traffic - overwhelming the servers, causing service disruptions affecting everyone. The cost was instability felt by all users.

So it's a problem that their printers are popular, and they can't be bothered to scale their infra, so let's gate everything based on USER AGENT STRING! This is so crazy of an excuse that I don't believe it.

Or a vm per container, if you insist on containers. I've have a couple of relaxed weeks recently due to running everything on VMs rather than some random Kubernetes service.

Not to mention that Intel does not and will not any time in the next decade have the capacity for a product of that quantity.
