Everyone saying "yaaaaaay" to this is missing the broader point.
Some see this news and celebrate. I see this and get genuinely concerned for $SPCX IPO 🧐
You don't slash the barrier to entry by 99% a mere 5 trading days before an IPO unless the 555M share offering is struggling to fill.
They are pivoting to retail to fill the gap. Let’s see.
I think it's worth discussing how last night's Blue Origin incident could affect Delta's decision to choose Amazon Leo over @Starlink.
A couple months ago, Delta announced plans to begin installing Amazon Leo connectivity on 500 aircraft starting in 2028. The key word here is begin, because unless Amazon decides to launch their Leo satellites on SpaceX rockets in the near term while Blue Origin works to return New Glenn to service, a process that could take 12–15 months (maybe longer) based on early reports, its deployment timeline could face significant delays. Amazon currently has about 300 Leo satellites in orbit, compared to @SpaceX's 10,400 Starlink satellites.
Those 500 aircraft would cover only about half of Delta's fleet, meaning a full fleet rollout likely wouldn't be completed until 2030 or so (maybe sooner if they launch Leo sats with SpaceX).
United Airlines expects Starlink to be installed on roughly 80% of its fleet (about 880 aircraft) by the end of this year, years ahead of Delta's rollout. Southwest Airlines expects approximately 300 aircraft, or 37% of its fleet, to have Starlink by the end of 2026. American Airlines is scheduled to begin Starlink installations in 2027.
This means Delta will have a meaningful competitive disadvantage when it comes to high-speed onboard internet, an increasingly important feature for travelers. This begs the question, does Delta accept these likely delays with Amazon Leo (again, unless they pay SpaceX to launch their sats in the meantime), or do they eventually decide they can't afford to wait and switch to Starlink?
A couple other factors to consider though: Delta has broader partnerships with Amazon beyond Leo, and Amazon may have offered a killer deal to get Delta to sign with them, one they may not want to give up. It's also possible Amazon dedicates a large share of Leo's early capacity to Delta, making a smaller satellite constellation mostly sufficient for its needs? I need to look more into that last part.
So far, 37 airlines (and counting) have announced Starlink adoption. I now some disagree with me on this, but I believe passengers will increasingly factor high-speed internet connectivity into their flight decisions, especially on longer flights. As more airlines adopt Starlink (three out of the four major U.S. airlines have), pressure will continue to mount for the airlines that haven't adopted it.
Jet Blue is in a similar situation to Delta....
We’ve shipped a security-guidance plugin for Claude Code that helps identify and fix vulnerabilities as you’re writing code.
Available for all Claude Code users. Install from the plugin marketplace (/plugins).
American Airlines has just officially announced that they are adopting SpaceX's @Starlink! American is the largest airline in the world by passenger volume (225 million), and 2nd in fleet size.
Installations begin Q1 2027. Over 500 of its narrowbody aircraft will get Starlink.
“As a premium global airline, we are continuously seeking out world-class partners like Starlink to deliver what our customers need and want,” said American Airlines Chief Customer Officer Heather Garboden.
🚨 PSA: In SwiftUI, if you use ToolbarItem that has a Button, and that button uses an Image as its label, you'll end up with a very small tappable area of the button. You need to use a Label to avoid that effect:
Label("Start", systemImage: "play").labelStyle(.iconOnly)
@karankendre Anthropic will not be destroyed. Their AI+harness goes far beyond coding and Opus 4.7 is still better than Composer 2.5, albeit a lot more expensive.
Cursor is however an important piece of the puzzle to make Grok much better.
@supabase Yes!! I want to be able to have a dashboard, view tables, logs and an observability dashboard. There are third-party apps, but I can’t trust them with user data.
An early beta of Grok Build, an agentic CLI for coding, building apps, and automating workflows is now available for SuperGrok Heavy subscribers.
Through this early beta, we will improve the model and product based on your feedback.
