This could have led to lots of hijinks on "Red Dwarf."

Ed is getting good at lobbing these darts at hype bubbles.

The thing that this writeup ignores is that the object isn't to show short-term revenue, but to put all competitors out of business, be the last one standing, and create a monopoly. Either that or get bought out so the investors can move on to the next thing. But at $150B valuation, only MSFT or Nvidia can afford to buy them outright.

Google, Meta, and Amazon burned through cash for years, but they eventually outran all competition and then monetized the users who had nowhere else to go.

In earlier drone shows, they moved the drones into position to make the image they were going for, so navigation and collision avoidance was an issue.

With 7500, it feels like they can just set up a pixel grid in the sky, never move the drones (other than adjusting for wind), then just change the colors to get the image they need.

Depends on how far back you want to go, but this one was written by a History Professor at Yale: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34152729-iran

Conclusion: Tim Walz is just too nice a guy to say what needs to be said.

Will the fly be there to fact-check?

I'm getting one of those chargers installed at home next week. The giant mushroom cloud you might see is nothing to worry about.

I just watched JW4 on Bluray. Big fan of 1 & 2. Thought 3 was silly. 4 was just out and out cartoonish.

Everyone starts wearing the magic impregnable suit, so all you do is duck behind the jacket flap and bullets don't do anything. Felt the same way about the last Matrix installment where Neo is basically untouchable. At that point, all the fight scenes are just pointless videogame cut-scenes. Doesn't matter how many bad guys you throw at it.

The first John Wick is still pretty dope because it was the one with the love interest and dog revenge storyline. The rest, meh.

Has he tried siphoning American water from the ocean? It's much closer and there's lots of it. Could even bottle it directly at the source and slap his logo on it.

If only they could introduce a cheap narrative gimmick like 'multiverse,' then all sequel plot problems could be solved with a ...

Tried it with ChatGPT 4o with a different title/author. Said it couldn't find it. That it might be a new release or lesser-known title. Also with a fake title and a real author. Again, said it didn't exist.

They're definitely improving on the hallucination front.

Finally, a good use for drone and AI/ML technology!

From the maker of the poop-shooting laser turret and the AI/ML poop image detector.

From the makers of demand-priced car rides, concert tickets, and rents comes VariPay, a new Demand Based Salary calculator.

Instead of a fixed salary, employee income will be based on how much work there is to do, and when there is enough work, how efficient they were and how much effort they put into it.

The system is purely driven by AI, so nobody can accuse the vendor of favoritism. It runs continuously 24x7, making instant salary calculation updates no matter where in the world you live.

The service can automatically integrate with the previously announced AutoHR system, so firing and re-hiring replacement workers are handled with minimum friction. Efficiency levels can be charted in units of currency, aggregated worker heart-rate levels, or kilo-teardrops.

It comes with a management dashboard showing the amount of salary saved vs a traditional 'time-based' pay system. It also allows alarms to be set and parameters adjusted to accelerate cost-saving measures. Optional modules dynamically calculate management bonuses and maximize shareholder buybacks.

"As the ninth inning drew to a close at San Francisco’s Oracle Park on a recent afternoon, the mood in the stands was dour — the Giants were losing to the White Sox. But in the skies above the stadium, the real game was just getting started.

California and Western gulls glided overhead, scouting the bleachers for garlic fries and ketchup-smeared hot dog buns. The gulls soared steadily by the dozens as the bleachers emptied. Soon, the birds were left alone to engulf any leftover food they could find."
