Never, but never, in any situation should you give a police officer a turned-on mobile phone. First, turn it off and then hand it over. It’s as simple as saying, “Hey Siri, turn off phone,” and then confirming. Once this is done, the phone is indistinguishable from a brick in terms of stored information. If you hand it over turned on but locked, there are several police devices that can unlock it and copy the information it contains.
"LLM is not for me" sounds right. But, if you want to use LLM to avoid building the tedious parts of a project like the user interface, APIs, etc., and decide to code your algorithms the old-fashioned way, that's fine too.
Most likely, the nature of consciousness and reality are rigged in such a way that we cannot use our consciousness to decipher them. Any progress in that direction is useless and, at this point, almost ridiculous.
Perhaps they weren't trying to steal electricity but rather avoid consuming all those kWh in the same location. If an electric company sees a similar energy consumption at a property over a considerable period, they will report it because it could be a drug plantation or an illegal mining farm (Europe). Using AirBnBs and changing locations every 15 or 30 days seems to be a solution to that problem.
The Catalans worked for 30 years to position Barcelona as a premium tourist destination, with advertisements even on buses in London, only to now intimidate tourists by splashing them with water and blaming them for all their problems.
Catalans are not uniform, and those with the money to promote tourism are likely those who benefit the most, an not those who face the strongest negative consequences of that tourism.
Becomes abstract. In the short term, you will be able to use your iPhone 17 to utilize Starlink satellites. They have already done tests with the iPhone 15.
That'll probably remain limited to very low bandwidth data for the foreseeable future. Non-directional, small device antennas just don't provide for enough SNR to support more than a handful of devices per cell.
Starlink has indeed tested a video call to one phone, but you can probably do about 10-30 of these per cell until you max out the capacity (single-digit Mbit/s for everybody in a 15 mile or so radius).
For more, you need active steering and more powerful antenna arrays, which are also larger. Fitting that in a phone will probably take some time, and it might end up being awkward anyway (and slowly cook your hand/ear).
