This is not as good as it sounds, because Starlink required many satellites in low Earth orbit to achieve this bandwidth improvement globally.
That said, there will ultimately be over 100k SpaceX communications satellites, most of which will be V4 or V5. Good chance that this system carries about half of global traffic.
What's happening at Starbase, Texas is truly incredible.
Deep in south Texas, Musk and his team have pulled in some of the most brilliant people on Earth to make space travel as normal and boring as air travel.
The energy there is just insane. It feels like a modern day Manhattan project, but built for peace not war.
The building pictured below is the actual factory where they build Starship, like a car factory for spaceships. You probably wouldn't have guessed it, since it looks like a nice office building. Most factories are cold and industrial but Starfactory feels warm, clean, with design touches that make you feel like you're in Silicon Valley.
There's something really special happening here. I envy everyone who gets to work here and live here. Most people never get a chance to devote themselves to something so meaningful, something that potentially bends the river of human history. It kind of feels like a college town, except everyone's building spaceships instead of going to class.
Starship and its heatshield are healthy as the vehicle continues to orbit Earth after a spectacular start to its mission nearly 7 hours ago. Teams are continuing to monitor systems ahead of a planned return to launch site catch at Starbase ~22.5 hours after launch
Starship is now in a long coast phase around Earth. Teams will monitor Starship’s systems over the next ~21 hours that we intend to be in orbit for. We do have a few early deorbit options available should we need them, but all systems are looking good right now
卧槽,太爆炸了
Jason Calacanis 在自己的播客上当场说要把 Claude 踢出公司
最新一期 This Week in AI,嘉宾 Alex Finn 刚把 Claude Fable 5.2 夸上天,说 Anthropic 过去一个月「clearly has had a breakthrough」,更聪明、更快、更便宜三样同时做到,他让 Fable 连续两周不插手做一个复杂游戏,做出来接近 3A 水准
结果主持人 Jason 接着就泼冷水,他说拿到 Fable 5.2 做的第一件事,就是把平时交给 Grok Bot 的活丢给它,干得反而不如 Grok Bot,Grok Bot 一个月 40 美元,他一年付给 Claude 的钱算上超额差不多 2 万美元,原话「I'm going to kick Claude out」
Alex 的解释是这两个根本不能放一起比,Fable 是模型,Grok Bot 是套在模型外面替你干活的那一层,
「Grokbot is by far the best harness on planet Earth」
更夸张的是节目放出的实测,Alex 让 Grok Bot、Claude Duet、ChatGPT Dots 三个智能体各自用 PayPal 转 1000 美元,两个被拦了下来,只有 Grok Bot 把钱转了出去
Adaption Labs 的 Sara Hooker 一句话点破 Anthropic 的路线,他们想把模型和外面那层都攥在自己手里,你想换的时候就该觉得疼,「They want to lock you in a little bit」
这就像一家餐厅的大厨全城最好,可只许你坐在它店里吃,隔壁厨子手艺差一点,却愿意送餐上门,顺手把碗也洗了
恐怕接下来几年,普通人挑 AI 只看一件事,谁能替自己把活干完,模型排行榜上的名次,会越来越少有人在乎
