This is extraordinary:
Again people will say this isn’t great technology but, people, it totally is amazing technology. When you started watching the video, you couldn’t have possibly predicted how it would end. This is very stunning.
The shamelessness of these people has no bounds:
I wonder what her immigration status is that she can engage in political lobbyism like this. It’s also clear now why The New Yorker has come out with a cover image glorifying Navalny. The fascist aesthetic of the picture is very appropriate:
All this is making Harris’s position towards Ukraine very clear. Not that one was very hopeful before, of course.
P.S. And Navalnaya is a “she/her” on LinkedIn:
These people really know how to play gullible Americans.
Knew it. In his diaries, Columbus explains how hard it was for him to scare up even just 3 puny little ships for his expedition but studiously avoids mentioning what happened to all the other ships and what they were busy doing. This was the time of the expulsion of Jews from Spain. Only a blind man (or a covert Jew) would fail to notice the exodus that was unfolding right where he was preparing to set sail. People who didn’t notice knew it was hitting too close to home.
Another issue with Columbus was that it always seemed that, though he was multilingual, none of the languages in which he was quoted directly was fully native to him. No culture fit him comfortably. Plus, you know, a visionary, an unquiet soul, a relentless seeker.
Everybody is mocking this pro-Kamala ad but what I don’t understand…
… is why almost all men in it hold their hands in such a weird way. These are professional actors who should know how to not come off as weird in a short video. But the hands look very uncomfortable.
And eerily similar to that photo of uncomfortable Kamala I recently posted.
Is it a new secret handshake or something?
Two duck legs cost $15. And if you’ve seen a duck, you know that those legs are not large.
Even in mega-overpriced Montreal, a whole duck is $20CAD. I understand that demand is higher because people have more sophisticated palates than in STL but still.
I don’t even like duck that much but I wanted to create some gastronomical variety.
The number one problem in this country is that the concept of disparate impact is an accepted legal reality. It creates enormous issues in every area of endeavor.
The second most important problem is that immigration applications are accepted from people in the country illegally on the territory of the US.
Both issues require a significant change of the legal system.
What will happen with the people robots will replace?
They’ll be sold for parts.
Amazing technology, that’s for sure. I didn’t understand Elon’s vision for the retail uses of the Optimus robot, however. The domestic tasks the video showed Optimus performing are kind of trite.
Optimus as a retail product is aimed at the high-earning, high-achieving people in creative jobs who are over-scheduled and massively into productivity. For such people, simple, mechanical tasks are a necessary counterbalance to intellectually overcharged lives. Taking in the groceries or laying the table are activities of mental hygiene.
The people who do need help unloading the car trunk or pouring a drink are precisely those whose jobs Optimus will destroy. They’ll have all the time in the world to put away groceries and no money or need for a robot.
Great technology, though. Very impressive.
I saw the footage from the Hurricane Milton surge in Fort Myers Beach, and my heart is sore. Such a beautiful place so cruelly battered. It only just came back from Ian, and then Milton came.
The really creepy footage comes from the street cameras that filmed not just the result but the process.
Women would do absolutely anything to avoid noticing that the dude in their lives is a raging pedo.
That poor child from “a previous relationship.” People are such shits sometimes.
