  • Low orbit satellites will never replace fiber because physics of latency, bandwidth and error correction.

    As far as things go today well never need less fiber. Even if we cover the sky with satellites eventually we’d need to upgrade to fiber because its literally impossible to beat. Except for scifi tech like quantum entanglement networks which might not even be possible or practical and wouldn’t need the satelites anyway.

    As an infrastructure bet it makes absolutely zero sense except for covering rare niches like war zones or oceans.



  • lmao imagine shilling for corporate Cloudflare like this. Also false positive vs false negative are fundamentally not equal.

    Cloudflare is probably aware that there are still some false positive, and probably is working on it as we write.

    The main issue with Cloudflare is that it’s mostly bullshit. It does not report any stats to the admins on how many users were rejected or any false positive rates and happily put’s everyone under “evil bot” umbrella. So people from low trust score environments like Linux or IPs from poorer countries are under significant disadvantage and left without a voice.

    I’m literally a security dev working with Cloudflare anti-bot myself (not by choice). It’s a useful tool for corporate but a really fucking bad one for the health of the web, much worse than any LLM agent or crawler, period.

    the brain fills in the gap

    To expand on this, current leading theory (predictive processing) says that brain first generates a visual image then confirms it with inputs and if there’s no input to confirm/deny the halucination it’s just accepted as is. So we can have a whole load of blind spots in all of our sensors and continue functioning rather well with an ocassional artifact.
