Multiple times I've had fantastic interviews and meetings, and then a magic point occurs where they ghost me. And it's always during the background check phase and the find out that I'm trans.
Beginning to think that the only way I will ever get a fair shake is to do my own thing.

These guys are jerks and one of the main reasons I had to leave TN.
Like the one referencing Bostock and the one involving the 14th amendment rights to marriage are some blatantly unconstitutional things to try and chip away at all civil rights law and try and get the Supreme Court on their side.

Humanoids (like humans) work better at smaller scales, but I fully expect them to switch to more traditional heavier deterministic robots as they scale.
Although I would be interested to see the white paper for what the inflection point would be.

That one of the placement part looks really slow vs a dedicated pick and place machine.
I get that unifo are dogfooding and getting more data for their model, but this trundling humanoid could have been six lines in a PLC and a pick and place that costs half as much as a single robot.

All the warrior spirit in the world won't stop a better equipped, staffed, and logistically capable force.
And that garrison is just as important as Frontline troops. The hubris of folks who think they have the advantage because their troops are shiny and they have good Propoganda

I wonder how Konami figured out how to get MGS4 to even run on something not a PS3, it has so much DSP optimizations in its code for the weird processor it had.
Going to laugh if their approach was a translation layer and just burn CPU cycles.

I'm looking longingly at CNC brake presses and Fiber lasers, as well as industrial property.
Way I design stuff nowadays is so metal heavy it would be neat to have my own infrastructure for it.

Now for the warehouse that got bought in Tukwilla to get the deal cancelled.
These buildings aren't fit for keeping human beings in. They aren't even fit for keeping animals.
Like a Deus Ex plot, but run by folks who get off on being awful.

Keto friendly breakfast cereal has a consistency not unlike kibble. Only difference is the flavor and vitamin profiles is tuned to humans and meant to keep some firmness when exposed to animal or plant milks.
Only downside, kinda pricey for what it is

Not sure if 3DXtech ships outside the US. They are when you need very technical filaments. For combat robots and industrial parts it's some of the best.

Them, 3Dextech, IC3D, protopasta, and cookiecad are my gotos for specific filaments. Printed solid also good, especially for when I'm looking for filament that uses Amphora resins.
My color schemas usually involve black and a highlighter color like Pink, Cyan, or Orange, so have to shop around alot

I say as I still like the valve controller. But yeah, it will suck if I have to start switching to alternative controllers once the PS5 ones I use right now break down
Going buttonless allows them to save money on molds and assembly, this isn't good for gamers.

I'll believe it when I see a robot pick strawberries and not mess it up.
Even teleoperating a harvester robot would be a step up compared to people destroying their backs in the middle of nowhere.

Feels like when we do get out of this, that the US standard of living and economic output will be so low that emigration, not immigration will be the issue.
Who wants to stick around a place with no infrastructure, no industrial base, and no education infrastructure?

There are things called small language models that nerdier folks can run autonomous with no mothership and are completely open source. Even can be trained yourself if you are okay waiting a week to thrash your GPU on 5 terabytes of training data.
We can do this ethically, the corpos won't do it.

If ivermectin could treat cancers, it would have came up in reviews along with all cheap generics.
If this had been part of a greater generics review, wouldn't have been shady.

Why any fascist government that does an Imperialism is ultimately doomed. It turns even soccer moms and clergy into an insurgency.
Imperialism without a reliable service and industrial economy is impossible. Even with robots and AI. And if it was, the AI wouldn't need the fascists either.

Feels like it's also to get that sweet sweet money and political shielding from folks like Rowling's friends, the Epstein clique, the American dominionists, and the various psychos like Orban and Putin.
They all have infinite money to throw at the project to reverse 80 years of civil rights.

Smartest way, right up there with banning 80% uppers and regulating gun parts in general. That's the vast majority of ghost guns.
And something that confuses me with why blue states don't try that. It would fix a big regulation hole and doesn't require spyware and needing an ID to buy steel pipe

It's just frustrating to have a manager that doesn't know the field. Tends to be thankless work and be terrible for morale. Also not nearly as efficient and forces a senior to effectively be the manager making them work even harder for no money.
Sign of an orginazation in crisis
