LLM performance, recently, seemingly hit the top of the S-curve. It remains to be seen if this is the next leap forward or just the rest of that curve.
I work in a school IT department. We have full Wi-Fi coverage of all our buildings. We definitely have filtering in place, both DNS and managed extensions on student Chromebooks. We use Cisco Meraki switches and APs for connectivity, with Cisco Umbrella for DNS filtering.
The Federal Government has programs like E-Rate that reimbursee districts for up to 90% of the cost of getting internet access for students, but like other commenters have said, paperwork. Unless you can get full support from the superintendent/board, bureaucracy will 100% be your biggest obstacle.
> DebtDeflation: Verizon and T-Mo both issued statements that they have no outages and the issue is just their customers being unable to call AT&T customers. Looks like most of the AT&T network in the US is down though.
> If Apple insists, we would consider adding a pager emoji to metadata on all messages sent via Beeper Mini. This would make it easy for Messages App to filter out any messages from Beeper Mini users.
Why would they not just shut it down if Apple asks, wouldn't that just do the same thing (beeper users can't send messages)
> Instead, the "chipless" PulpaTronics tag uses the geometric pattern of the circuit itself to convey the information. In the company's concept designs, for instance, it's a labyrinthine pattern of concentric circles.
So does this need special hardware to read? Seems like if so, it would be more expensive to install compared to traditional RFID systems.
> It has come to the attention of the St Helena Government that members of the public may have acquired, imported and be currently using terminals, such as Starlink, for the purposes of internet connectivity. Using such terminals is in contravention of the exclusivity of current telecommunications licencing arrangements made under section 3(4) of the Telecommunications Ordinance 1989. From 1 November 2023 anyone using such a terminal will be liable to be subject to a ‘ceaseand desist’ order issued on behalf of the Government. A cease and desist order is an instruction to stop using terminals, and continue to refrain from using terminals, whilst the exclusivity of the current telecommunications licencing arrangements remain in force. Any breach of such a cease and desist order may result in the confiscation of the equipment.
Starlink seems to be illegal to protect the government’s investment in a monopoly on the main satellite.
