Remove them and you wouldn’t need all those capital intensive new plants. Pretty sure large customers get discounted prices.

This is the guy Israel killed today (along with his staff). I grew up reading Leon Uris (Mila 18 still haunts me and you could transfer every word of it to Gaza). If Israel has lost me, they’ve lost all of their non Jewish allies. I’ve come around to the Mountains to the Sea as being reasonable.

Actually, as much as I admire your cooking skills and am ambivalent (until more data comes in) about eating one giant meal a day (seems to work for you) I’d like to hear your opinion about whether AI is, in fact, a multi-trillion dollar industry.

No, you should take the shiv defending property rights.

He and his new wife opened a B&B south of San Jose somewhere. He was older than me and way over weight (happened 18 years ago) so he’s probably checked out.

You do have to admire people willing to get back on that horse after getting thrown off and trampled.

I do not envy one single one of my wife’s million air miles.

I knew a guy with 3 million Delta air miles (he hadn’t seen coach in decades). He came home one day to find out his wife had left him for one of his groomsmen at their wedding.

Though, I’ve traveled once this year and liked Montana.

Tata and InfoSys are giant companies. If their call-centers went dark it wouldn't even be a blip for them.

I understand StarLink would be profitable if you didn't include the rocket launches as a cost.

My guess it's someone with a drug or alcohol problem who has all of those problems but wants to obfuscate the cause of their problems.

I think it's unlikely that someone with that job wouldn't have been able to make bail (6 months in the County jail); I don't think they'd have done DNA analysis on the cigarette butt to prove it was him; and if he ate the donut, what was their evidence of a crime?

WNBA basketball is smaller than the NBA basketball. Even so, Sabrina Ionescu makes 35.4% of her 3 pointers.

We’re Valkyries season ticket holders. I have nothing against women’s sports.

There is no woman basketball player who could play in the NBA development league. Brittney Griner is 6’-9” and weighs 205 pounds. Zach Edey is 7’-4” 305 pounds

Mabel ~2015 -8/88/25

The perfect dog. Went after dogs twice her size, loved every human she ever met. Graced our house for 13 years. Bossed around 2 humans and her little sister (by adoption). I will miss her every day I have left on earth.

Goorge W. Bush invaded Canada. Not sure we’re in the worst universe.

Who knew there was someone in the administration unwilling to just follow orders (in this case audit Trump’s enemies probably).

If the Democrats take either house of Congress they’re going to call him in for a chat.

Karpathy wouldn’t have quit if there was any path to L4 with cameras and current computer technology.

DOJO was also clearly a scam as you were never going to have a super computer in every car (think of the battery drain).

Yep. She was also hooker in bar in leaving Las Vegas.

To be fair, the earth makes it around the sun in ~365.25 days, so not really yearly.

Yeah, real wages are up almost 12% in the last 45 years

You’d need to pound 6 of them to almost get a 3.2 beer. I went to Florida in the late 70s when 3.2 beer was all you could get there. We couldn’t figure out why we weren’t getting hammered.

I hope it was Anonymous and not the North Koreans that hacked the federal electric filing system. It’s bad enough that Russia and Israel have the goods on Trump.

Tesla insurance is apparently a hidden discount.

There’s a new article on Seeking Alpha where the β€œvalue” analyst thinks Optimus and the Taxi are worth $500B. He still rates the stock a sell given current market cap is $1.1T (including Musk’s new grant).

It wasn’t a food review.

By the time Tesla Diner opened in July, Tesla had reported declining revenue and the Los Angeles restaurant looked more like a distraction for a brand in crisis β€” a viral marketing exercise on a half-acre lot where you could pretend the Cybertruck wasn’t a flop.

I don’t think you can give someone a $27B present w/o the IRS taking notice. Musk has to buy the shares at the 2018 price and be taxed on the difference. If they give him the shares it’s 100% taxable.

Or, am I missing something?

I’ve used AI and it’s good for making pictures. And I can see how it could eliminate a bunch of mediocre programmers and 1st level tech support. I dont get it.

But a bunch of very smart people at Amazon and Microsoft think it’s worth trillions of dollars which gives me, and should give Ed, pause

Engineers never go to prison for engineering (these guys killed 114 people and no one served a day - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_R... ). So, I don’t know why you’d think we knew anything about sentencing.
