Also interesting when the story includes comments about being way overvalued and "investor gullibility" and the company doesn't respond when asked to comment. Kinda seems like an agreement, but maybe they're respond later and/or elsewhere.

Generously: Musk wasn't willing to go along with thee grape soda and beef jerky terminology, therefore Mr. Mossad knew he was a liability to the operation. He either wouldn't or couldn't be controlled or would readily spill the spaghetti due to his autism.

If that'll all they intended they could have agreed on a very narrowly-tailored agreement limiting the use to the same aspects of the film as manual animation.

Maybe Cage is doing some solidarity thing with animators or maybe Amazon intended to do much more and were attempting an underhanded trick.

It's hard to tell except you'd expect Cage to say something if animators' jobs were his cause.

It sounds like his agent or manager knew what was up.

Since the Republican majority in the House and Senate allowed it to, acquiescing to Trump's every whim out of fear from him and his dwindling base of Red Hats, who he's now also screwing over by breaking every campaign promise he made - except for the racists ones being driven by Stephen Miller and other like-minded people in his Administration. Hopefully things will change - for the betterment of us all - after the mid-term elections.

Will be the next animated film by Trey Parker and Matt Stone - or episode on South Park, I mean, America. :-)

[This renaming AI to SI thing is so stupid.]

In addition, it fosters sloppy police work. Even *if* Flock surveillance was infallible, proper analysis would still be required. In this case, the "evidence" (below) seems wildly inadequate and requires the accused to prove her innocence. Using the below as a the basis for a prosecution seems criminally negligent.

> you apparently desire to use systems beyond their design points

Who doesn't include cost in design?

If my CPU/SoC is plenty fast for my task and the DRAM is faster than I need it to be and a CPU instruction to compress takes less power than a write out to the bus - it would just be wasteful to manufacture and purchase twice as much DRAM as the application needs.

Either the end user gets a better price (and all money is the result of expending energy, so we save again) or the manufacturer makes a larger profit (in a constrained market).

Now then - all you lunatics embedding Electron and costing me 400MB to send an 80 character text message - we need to talk about this.

CRAM seems like a great idea but it's not the solution to not caring about the Craft.

The 2026 mid-term elections are on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

Well, let's thank them for saving the world, then!

Here's one about extrapolating trends: https://xkcd.com/605/

Actually, the quote is, "A man with one nuclear watch knows the time; a man with two, also knows the time." :-)

(Poking fun at Segal's law...)

Ironically, Iran was making those, in some sort of mountain factory, but ... :-)

Remember... Trump says anyone who does not refer to AI as ‘super intelligence’ is ‘THE ENEMY'

(*sigh*)

Can't tell if we should moderate the article as Troll or Flamebait.

Commenters have already pointed out the dishonesty of the prose based on their own published stats.

Yes, I'm enabling the clickbait by commenting.

JPEG-XL is a good format but I just realized yesterday that Google Docs on Android doesn't support inserting a webp image a decade after Google was pushing it. I had one from a website and needed to run it through imagemagick first.

Android supports it, all the apps using android image primitives supoort it, but one of Google's flagship apps still doesn't.

We used move much faster thirty years ago. If an app supported say GIF, PNM, and TGA when JPEG came out it was supported in the next release.

Hopefully this round will be better. It's probably a management problem ... maybe they will listen to their chatbot since they don't listen to their engineers.
