There is a nuance missed in the discussion so far - Starlink is creating a new product level, differentiating service between continental and intercontinental aviation connectivity. Previously these were a single category.

If you are operating in North America for example, your service is going from $10k to $12.5k. Still a 25% increase, which is not fun, but I think a lot of the customers affected by this will fit into this category. You only need the $20k plan if your aircraft travels between their roughly-continental regions.

Nicholas Air, quoted in the article, appears to have no need for the $20k plan and should not use it.

I wonder if consumer routers will end up being built in a trivially-not-a-router configuration - something akin to a pull-tab or turn of the screw that closes a circuit, transforming the device from legally something else into a router after it's purchased.

What a dumb timeline.

While the FileVine service is indeed a Legal AI tool, I don't see the connection between this particular blunder and AI itself. It sure seems like any company with an inexperienced development team and thoughtless security posture could build a system with the same issues.

Specifically, it does not appear that AI is invoked in any way at the search endpoint - it is clearly piping results from some Box API.

Did your email offer you the chance to pay yearly for $11/mo? Mine did, but I don't think the option to pay yearly exists.

I don't understand how this is 100% free, no subscriptions, no purchase, apparently no ads or tracking and yet I'm also the "customer" and not the product. What's the catch?

Part of me wonders if the plug could be designed such that it's obvious when the bolts are missing. Would this have happened if it were impossible to assemble without them, or if it were easy to verify their presence?

Maybe it doesn't matter if a better design is possible - if adequate procedures exist and weren't followed, and oversight fails to catch instances of that, then anything could go wrong.

I’m confident it didn’t cheat and look at the EXIF data on the photograph, because if it had cheated it wouldn’t have guessed Cambria first.

If I was cheating on a similar task, I might make it more plausible by suggesting a slightly incorrect location as my primary guess.

Would be interesting to see if it performs as well on the same image with all EXIF data removed. It would be most interesting if it fails, since that might imply an advanced kind of deception...

Isn't a screen reader's job to audibly convey information on the screen as it would be interpreted by a sighted person?

The original intent of the characters as mathematical symbols is obviously irrelevant in the examples. No person reading the posts with their eyes is thinking "oh hmm I wonder what is the mathematical meaning behind this bolded character".

This seems like an example of a technical implementation that misses the point of the value that needs to be delivered to humans using the system.
