Drop them from commercial planes via the toilet?
When you flush the toilet in an airplane the contents is normally vacuumed in to a holding tank which gets emptied after the plane lands.

Was a hardcode PHP dev for many years. A quick look at the code makes me glad I left this ecosystem behind - it looks like a brittle maintenance nightmare! It's no wonder there's trace log lines scattered all over the place. There doesn't seem to even a sniff of anything related to testing here. It's insane to me to try promote this over Laravel.

AM radio, FM radio, amateur radio, and television broadcast have quite a lot of spectrum real estate. Are they being used enough to justify this allocation?
Actually they don't consume a very large portion of the overall spectrum at all. Nearly all the bands you mention are in the Mhz range or less rather than Ghz and as a result they're not really even suited for WiFi use. The lower frequencies are less optimal for high speed data transfer and also broadcast to a longer range, as well as penetrate buildings more easily than their higher frequency counterparts.
As well as that those bands are already heavily used already - it would make no sense to open these bands up to WiFi.

> Records show about 319 acre-feet, or 104 million gallons, flowed through the company’s pipes in 2023.
It's 3 gallons a second.
Bottled water is dumb so it's not like I care about going to bat for Arrowhead, but if you think this has any environmental impact whatsoever you completely lack an understanding of the orders of magnitude involved in the water cycle.
Of course it will have at least some environmental impact if the water stops being directed in to plastic bottles and instead is left flow along on the land. 3 gallons a second is still a pretty significant flow of water - at least enough to power a small stream or creek. Nothing in the broader scheme of things of course, but you can't say there's zero environmental impact "whatsoever".

Only if we are counting the cost to generate all the inputs to training, and not just the training itself - it just depends on the scope of the analysis.
(i.e. taken to the extreme, as humans learn from their environment, do we have to count all energy that has gone into creating the world as we know it?)
If taken to the extreme I can't help but quote Carl Sagan :-)

If the scheme is not lowercase it seems to erroneously detect malware and provides a zip file url for some malware which does not exist on the page. Seems like a bug !
example URL "with" malware: Https://cnn.com example URL without malware: https://cnn.com
All the js asset sizes quoted in the article seem inflated compared to the figures I see when I try to verify the authors figures.
