  • GPS is very time oriented as well. That’s part of how the calculations are done. Using the difference in times, triangulation Etc to figure out where you are. Which is exactly how this system will work as well.

    Yes it’s not global. But then it was never claimed to be. Yes it will likely only be a North American deal. But it will provide a usable alternative here to GPS. Other regions could adapt it to their broadcast standards as well. As you pointed out it’s just timing information. So any broadcast system could make use of a system similar to this. Functioning similarly to gps.



  • The internet is what you make it. I’ve never spent much time on overtly corporate media social or otherwise. Combined with largely avoiding the most politically toxic places both maga or ML.

    Most of my time online is spent visiting places focused on retro Computing, Retro Gaming, music or some other hobbies. The internet hasn’t changed drastically in 30 years. Just the way average people use it.

    The corporate sites will never respect your time or privacy. They’re just endless treadmills to keep you busy and engaged. We’ve always been able to hop off.



  • Computers have always been good at pattern recognition. This isn’t new. LLM are not a type of actual AI. They are programs capable of recognizing patterns and Loosely reproducing them in semi randomized ways. The reason these so-called generative AI Solutions have trouble generating the right number of fingers. Is not only because they have no idea how many fingers a person is supposed to have. They have no idea what a finger is.

    The same goes for code completion. They will just generate something that fills the pattern they’re told to look for. It doesn’t matter if it’s right or wrong. Because they have no concept of what is right or wrong Beyond fitting the pattern. Not to mention that we’ve had code completion software for over a decade at this point. Llms do it less efficiently and less reliably. The only upside of them is that sometimes they can recognize and suggest a pattern that those programming the other coding helpers might have missed. Outside of that. Such as generating act like whole blocks of code or even entire programs. You can’t even get an llm to reliably spit out a hello world program.
