That was such a good movie.

Edit: i also liked Margin Call which is a fictional story about some traders seeing what was about to happen in 2008 and how they responded because of it in 1 night.

How dare you steal hundreds of dollars by installing contraband ram!

Hopefully corruption along the way doesn’t turn this into a, ya he did it, but his candidate lost so we’ll give it a pass, type situation.

Something got reported on incorrectly because the M5 Max’s have 614 GB/s today, and the Ultra M4 machine’s (not laptops) are 819 and that’s 3 generations behind a M7 if they make an M7 ultra machine.

$ for $ you’ll get more video ram than paying for a 5090, but it won’t be as fast and can’t train well.

Before the ram price decable, you could get a 192gb M4 Ultra for ~10k CAD.

Ya, these high memory amounts and ever increasing memory bandwidth are heavily (but not only) targeting people wanting to run local large AI models like a full deepseek on their machines.

You might not be able to train as well on them as NVIDIA + CUDA, but for local inference, they’re an alternative to NVIDIA and more reasonably priced for the model sizes you can run, and each iteration they get better as the bandwidth increases.

Apples memory has never been cheap, it’s always been a very expensive upgrade.

Oh did they stop that entirely? I remember areas being unavailable in the past.

Next up, a preserved Big Mac that Trump once ordered but decided not to eat. It’ll replace the constitution exhibit.

Hitler was just a face for white supremacy. With or without him that ideology wouldn’t go away. Things would be different sure, but i doubt itd prevent other similar groups from existing.

How much downlink capability they have. Its more per dish, and more dishes, so its 20x per launch compared to today. I think each satellite is 10x

Edit: they’ve also been lowering the shell a little, so i think that also shrinks the area slightly? It’ll definitely help with latency.

Edit: i don’t know if they’re increasing the satellite density per cell with the v3 dishes in general once the v2 come down. e.g are they fitting all the extra dishes into the same dispersal area as a v2 launch or are they getting spaced out more due to being more dishes?

The time between seasons is sometimes way too long, people move on eventually.

Their new UI made it godawful to find anything. It’s got to be one of the worst UI updates I’ve ever seen in a modern service.

You can only see 4 things at once on my large screen TV. Then if you have the audacity to scroll down to see more, you’re almost always greeted with one of the same ones in that group of 4. Then they throw games in there to just fuck up your attempt to find anything, and then because you watched one thing 10 years ago, it decides to still show you this category of show you don’t like “because you watched xyz show”.

I hate it so much.

I dont think we have the genetic cloning capabilities for that yet…let alone memory transfers.

And if you try to modify your console, they’ll fuck your shit up.

They did exactly that with the new standby mode.

You used to be able to pause your service for free. Then they changed it to $5/m but you got unlimited 256kb/s bandwidth and the dish would always be up to date. Just before the IPO they doubled that to $10/m and removed the ability to use it while in motion.

I’d love to see how many people dropped the service after that 2nd price jump which wouldn’t have been apparent until after the IPO. Both changes happened within a year.

I mean don’t get me wrong, it’s 100% pure capitalism to do something like, we can confidently service 1000 people per cell region and maintain our advertised service, but once we reach 950, we’re going to charge super high fees to connect. They don’t have to be doing what they’re doing, but they saw a way to make money.

Edit: And this is all assuming the congestion is even real.

Neither of those options would support everyone living in a high density urban area, bandwidth would drop to nothing and no one would want to buy it, and people generally hate inconsistent bandwidth, or random peak hour usage charges on their bill.

Edit: Their overall bandwidth per cell is just too low to be able to support everyone in high density areas like that.

I would love to see solar/battery powered cell towers plopped down in the middle of nowhere with a starlink or other provider back link

Since the article doesnt make it clear

This is for new or re-activating customers in a congested area.

This isnt a random usage fee, this is for areas they claim are too busy, so you gotta pay if you want to gain access.

Its like when you call a contractor and they quote you a stupid high number. Its often because they’re too busy, but if you’ll pay the stupid high number theyll do it.

There was no world where SpaceX could support unlimited customers in a cell region.
