@isle_mcelroy I have a horrible, truly world class terrible sense of direction - so it went the other way for me - my whole life is like the backrooms. It’s all one big mystery.

@natehowe Go up a notch higher - and you get flooded with comps, free meals and drinks in the business lounge. But - right in the middle - not luxury, but not discount - say the $200-$500/night range - they do try and nickel and dime you for all you have.

@jurgen_nauditt I thought that Russian law guaranteed unless there was a general mobilization or a state of war - conscripts could not be sent to the SMO - only those who sign a contract - did something change?

@TessInLkwd @StevenDickens3 @altryne @satyanadella You are confusing “liquid cooled racks” with “closed loop cooling” - two entirely different things.

[Gordon Shephard @GordonShephard2]

@TessInLkwd @altryne @satyanadella “Closed Loop” is a topology - it is literally a “closed loop”. If you are loosing water, by definition - that is not a closed loop.

@HasanEssam29636 In hindsight - starting a war with Israel turned out to be stupid. What did the Palestinians think Israel was going to do? Roll over and surrender to them? I think Israel made it pretty clear how they would respond to an attack.

@DmitriBraverman @PhillipsPOBrien @Noahpinion One (Russian) commentator has identified possible off-ramps:

1/ Russia may be forced back to its 1991 borders as the Ukraine war turns against it, a Russian warblogger warns in a gloomy commentary. The prospects of a ceasefire on the current line of contact are slipping away and the threat to Russia itself is increasing. ⬇️

@NewsLiberdade There is no country on the planet where a manhole is designed that way.

@letsgoelsewhere @thetrueshelby The ballroom is actually fine - 95% of it was for security - bunker, anti-drone - Trump just added the “ballroom” as though that was the purpose - the ballroom component is almost entirely irrelevant.

@DmitriBraverman @PhillipsPOBrien @Noahpinion The instant Ukraine stops fighting - Russia regroups and destroy them.

If Ukraine stops fighting - Ukraine no longer exists. If Russia stops fighting - the war comes to an end.

@TotemMacro 45% utilization is insanely good - and in a lot of environments is the point at which systems are overloaded and start to fail. 11% utilization is pretty typical - and accounts for having capacity when you ramp up to those 45% peaks.

@VirtualElena First / Business class doesn’t get you squat with United Airlines other than “Priority Line” - which is often no different than economy so many people have it now.

You are in for a treat - I went because of word of mouth, great reviews and the $750k budget. Thought I would see a found footage or other clever low budget movie; what I wasn’t expecting was a very tightly directed, incredibly well acted, awesome story and what looked like a $30mm movie.

[Gordon Shephard @GordonShephard2]

@IterIntellectus “client” - is doing a lot of work here - is this a client with 50,000 engineers? I’m thinking Microsoft and AWS are two clients that could rock out 500mm with of tokens.

@LordBoatrace The video has been sped up significantly - 2x at least. Still moving fast regardless.

[Gordon Shephard @GordonShephard2]

@sudo_run_scapy @LordBoatrace They are moving fast - but it helps that the video has been sped up as well.

[Gordon Shephard @GordonShephard2]

I think 2028 is insanely optimistic - for v1.0 “$45,000 household robot that can basic $10/chores at 1/4 the speed of a human” - my target is 2030 based on current trends. v2 should iterate fast though - 2032, 1/2 the speed of a human, and then by 2034 we should have a few credible household robot suppliers at the $45k range. The question I have for you @Scobleizer - when do we get 25% market penetration in those jobs a say “making up a hotel room”? 2036? 2038?

@StuffForSisters They should try Singapore - Cabs are universally 68 degrees when it’s 85 degrees outside

@kalamon @mattparlmer The entire point is that it is not, and never will be a sorting robot. But there are roughly 500+ different jobs that does make sense for a humanoid robot for which this is a the absolute lowest bar of capability required (there are many others of course)
