I would have [...] total annihilation of all enemies with the maximum force possible.

Get a grip dude. You may be someone enemy tomorrow. Treat others how you want to be treated. Seek mercy and justice. That requires speaking out against all war crimes - whether commited by Palestinian, Russian, Ukrainian or Israeli individuals and systems. And making peace with enemies.

Dont justify murder. There are plenty of cold blooded murderers on the Ukrainian side, like the ones who burnt the three Russian minority-group soldiers right at the start of the way. Even if the density of murderers is way more on the Russian side, murder of hors de combat troops on either side is never justified. Continuing this war will harden both sides. Zelenskyy needs to make an offer that takes his weak position into account. Maybe withdraw from failing positions and deliver an imperfect 'unilateral ceasefire' like the Russians did.

Yes I saw that too. It says it's open source too. I guess that refers to the software .. I was hoping the hardware - or the bill of materials - would be open source too. :) specifically, the bits about the motion platform at the base of the robot's head. But at least the software should have the motion platform control source code

Comment Parts more interesting than the whole (Score 1) 69

I am more interested in the parts list. For instance they seem to be using a mini motion table using linear actuators -- like the ones aircraft training simulators use -- as the base of the robot's neck. This is great at their price point. This could be used in a driving simulator or for industrial testing.

Any idea about their bill of material? And how to source parts they use?

They earned their billions through billions of eyeballs. So they doubled down by investing a few billions to squeeze yet more billions.

Are your eyes feeling the squeeze? Look away then, and gently cup the palms of our hand over your eyes like the see-no-evil monkey emoji.

Comment Self-care for cancer patients (Score 2) 53

What feeds cancer is sugar and glutamine. You can clamp down on sugar but glutamine is very hard to shut down -- ketogenic diet, periodic water fasting helps, and some hard to obtain pharmaceuticals help with managing glutamine levels to fight cancer. Dr. Thomas Seyfried is an authority in this area and his interventions have helped real cancer patients

How to make companies leaner, faster, more profitable? Why, simply fire the low-performers every year! What remain are the high performers.

But don't risk rehiring low performers. Instead, rely on AI to replace the people you sacked. Then go sack some more - you always can do better. Stack, rank and yank! Rinse bloodstains and repeat.

As your employee headcount gets smaller so does your wage bill. But lo, what superstars remain! What cold blooded killers! Each one capable of maintaining a thousand spreadsheets. Of selling container-ships of ice to the Inuit. Of gutting entire divisions in a day. Of skillfully pitting one AI chatbot against another.

So eventually, there two employees left. You and that other guy. But don't stop Highlander. There can only be one!

Then, there's you. You're the company. "L'entreprise, c'est moi".

Well, technically you're not the company: there's no one to keep you company. You're the singularity.
