The deorbits are controlled to occur over nonpopulated areas (i.e. the middle of the ocean). I don't think it amounts to much of a concern, compared to, say, the sum total emissions of all factories, power plants, ships, airplanes, and vehicles.
People used to think the oceans could just slurp up all of our garbage and plastic forever without a problem. Yet, here we are.
We aren't, that turn of phrase is only being used to set up a joke about developers and about Unicode.
It's actually a pretty popular form these days:
a does something patently unreasonable, so you say "To be fair to a, b is also patently unreasonable thing under specific detail of the circumstances that is clearly not the only/primary reason a was unreasonable."
I think people are making explanations for it - because it's effectively a digital black box. So all we can do is try to explain what it's doing. Saying "be fair" is more colloquial expression in this sense. And the reason he's comparing it to developers and unicode is a funny aside about the state of things with unicode. And Besides that, LLMs only emit what they emit because it's trained on all those said people.
You pay a premium for mid-century furniture. Even reproductions. Some furniture of that era never stopped production because the design keeps it in demand.
There will always be a market for bland IKEA/Target/whatever. But not everyone wants to sit on a log like a caveman.
A low-res display would be fine. In fact the same display as the original Model 100 would be great.
Use one for a while before you decide.
I still use mine every couple of weeks for distraction-free writing, and to read the news. The display updates VERY slowly. So slowly that you don't have to be a very strong typist to get way ahead of it.
Great! Then you don't mind telling us your email password!
