If your company is dependent on 3rd party software you're at their mercy and not truly independent.

If your company's software relies on someone else to run it you're at their mercy and not truly independent.

You should be able to target multiple platforms and if you're not self-hosting to either be redundant already or be able to quickly move to new digs.

I've helped too many people bail water when they make those decisions incorrectly and wind up in an existential crisis for their company.

You don't need that kind of stress.

"But it's cheaper!"

Many people need to touch the stove.

Hopefully they can see their way clear to porting it to a platform where VR isn't a quixotic side-quest for a company with numerous other profitable business units.

Maybe PICO?

> In an old building, there is a good chance that infrasound is present, particularly in basements where aging pipes and ventilation systems produce low-frequency vibrations

This was a long summary and offered no support for these claims.

Why would aging pipes *resonate* at sub-20Hz frequencies?

Why wouldn't modern pipes?

What about a metal "aging process" would cause this?

What are we to make of a "haunted" Scottish castle built 800 years ago?

Look, when I was five my parents' oil burner would kick off with a terrifying rumble, but I'm not making any building science claims here.

Noticings:

Sora shutting down.
Musk lawsuit back in the news.
Altman asked to step aside.
Whistleblower 'suicide' case being reexamined.
Actual suicide lawsuits, encouraged by chatbot, allegedly.
Memory wafer deal off?
Stargate collapsing, rumors Oracle could be caught in the wake.
Anthropic bails on selling murder services to DoW, OAI jumps in. ...
Microsoft creating distance.

Alone it probably doesn't mean much but this thing has real Sun Microsystems vibes in aggregate.

And here I thought the circular financing deals alone were disqualifying.

Good luck to the investors.

Bobert and Massie introduced a bill last week to nuke Third Party Doctrine.

Odds are rhe Uniparty defeats it, but hey.

Just think of it as a means of controlling what people say.

Criticize the wrong nation state? No money for seven days.

But, ohh, that sweet sweet 5% interest rate.

These people actually upload their biometrics to foreign nation states to get a "reply boost".

"Don't worry about NASA spending," they say, "it's a jobs program and all the money goes back to Congressional districts."

> French-Italian space and defense company

What total horseshit this whole thing is. The only district getting paid is the place where the MIC C-suites have their McMansions.

They can't even seal their shipping containers as well as Chinese consumer goods manufacturers loading up container ships.

Next time get Walmart to handle shipping. I haven't seen corroded goods since I got a $9 toaster in the 90's.

If only they could have noticed something was up when Melinda Gates resigned from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and filed for divorce from her husband over Epstein ties in 2021.

But that was fairly subtle so it's hard to blame them for not connecting the dots. It would be foolish to accuse them of being complicit in the coverup of heinous crimes.

Sounds like a Conspiracy Theory only People Magazine could come up with.

This set of anomalies is meaningless because no causal link has been proved.

In fact it never makes sense to look into anomalies unless you know what the outcome will be.

Detectives are stupid. Science is stupid.

Trust the Experts and whatever you do don't do your own research. If something is important the government or Fox News will let you know.

Turn on Netflix and zone out if you have spare time.

You ain't one of them "readers", is ya?

The Chinese Wall legal strategy is to have Team A produce a specification and Team B produce an implementation.

If these guys can't show a specification they're screwed.

Claiming there must have been one in abstract Platonic space inside the LLM network black box isn't going to convince a Court.

So do the work of making an actual specification generator. Then write a coder. It's not impossible. You still won't get updates, fixes, support, community, or features added. The guys who just steal ffmpeg won't even bother. The AGPL haters might bite.

Also, he seems quite angry.

When gas hits $10 there may be too much pressure to bring in BYD to stop it. At least atomic energy isn't more sensitive to global price shocks than it needs to be (EPA being the champion of high energy prices).

Automated lights-out factories are a total game changer and basically nobody cares if domestic auto workers lose their jobs due to sales collapse or to automation. It didn't have to be this way but Kissinger sold out Middle America so GM became a sales tactic for GMAC loans. We'd need a time machine to stop the collapse of the US auto industry at this point. Or a total fascist takeover of industry and crippling tariffs (not ruling this out).

Toyota and Datsun used to be shit brands fifty years ago. Now we have Lexus and Infinity. Heck we had those 20 years after they were shit brands.

But Tundra engines are getting famous now for lasting 6000 miles before blowing up, so perhaps the torch is being passed.

Yes, "to bring Jesus back".

They actually believe this. Like, you can spend money to get God to change his calendar.

We don't have to believe it - we only need to understand that they believe it. Red heifers, Gog and Magog, Third Temple, they jump up and down and speak in tongues when you talk about it.

Meanwhile Americans spend 60% of their wages on taxes and regulations and don't complain. They vote for anti-war, anti-spending candidates and get the shaft after elections. $10 gas might actually change things.

>Now how about finding a way to do it with silicon-based rather than lithium-based batteries so that we're not using costly mines to create the batteries?

Why silicon rather than sodium?

Sodium is right under lithium in Group 1.

>> The company also announced plans to begin mass delivery of sodium-ion batteries in the fourth quarter. Sodium-ion technology is seen as a lower-cost alternative that could reduce dependence on lithium, cobalt, and nickel.

> Then they just need to keep doing that for the new code.

"You Insensitive Claude, why haven't you made Thunderbird multi-threaded yet?"

(there appears to be evidence of significant limitations in its understanding of complex code)

> Is it appropriate to cite the old proverb, "Physician, heal thyself" here?

Years before the physician was a fentanyl addict living in a cardboard box on the street you would have been compassionate to do so.

At some point you just can't help people who don't want to be helped.

It's sad because the physician was once a happy baby who gave his mother delight. So much waste of care and resources.
