Starlink Soars, Anthrobots Emerge
Welcome to The Compiler, a daily curation of tech news. MAIN CHARACTER SpaceX's Starlink is rapidly expanding, now serving over 4.6 million users across 118 countries with 7,000+ active satellites. While Elon gets the headlines, the real story is how this could reshape global internet infrastructure. Think about it: Starlink might become the de facto ISP for entire regions, potentially outmaneuvering traditional telcos. The technical challenges of managing this massive, dynamic network are mind-boggling. I'd love to see a deep dive into their custom routing algorithms and how they handle orbital traffic management at scale. Read more SPICY TAKES Anthrobots: Tiny Bio-Machines or Nightmare Fuel? Scientists have created "anthrobots" – synthetic biological entities made from human cells. Before you panic about grey goo scenarios, these are more like organized clumps of cells than full organisms. The potential applications in medicine are fascinating, but let's be real: the ethics committees are going to have a field day with this one. How do we define the line between "useful bio-tool" and "accidental new lifeform"? Prepare for some wild bioethics debates. Read more DeepSeek's v3: The Mixture-of-Experts Monster DeepSeek just dropped a 607B parameter model that uses only 37B active parameters at a time. It's supposedly outperforming GPT-4 on reasoning and math tasks. This Mixture-of-Experts approach is fascinating – it's like having hundreds of specialized sub-models that get activated as needed. The efficiency gains are impressive, but I'm curious about the tradeoffs. Does this architecture introduce new failure modes or bias risks we haven't considered?

Fitness tech arms race intensifies. Read more Samsung fridges can now add items to your Instacart. Your appliances are becoming personal shoppers. Read more SHOWER THOUGHT If AI models keep growing exponentially, at what point do we need to start worrying about their carbon footprint? Will "green AI" become the next big tech trend?
