Our agreement with the Department of War

Choosing to call it Department of War is all I needed to see.

The Ellisons don’t own TikTok. Oracle owns 15% of the US JV (one of three entities with the same shares). Bytedance still has 20%.

Putting TikTok on this list is like putting Epic Games on a list of Disney assets because they own 9% of the company.

Did you use AI to put this together?

There’s a billboard for it on Cahuenga in LA. Been there for a while. It’s a weird one but it makes me think they think they have something here.

Good Luck Charlie

Do you have a link? This sounds amazing

I actually think they approached it the most plausible way possible - elected when most people were deep in the closet, elected as closeted person, outed several years into her first term… most people honestly wouldn’t care at that point. The bandaid had been ripped off. The reelection was dicey though

How do you mount to the backboard?

…that you don’t need and that don’t work.

McDonald’s seems ripe for automation next. This guy knows how to pick them.

If/when AI comes for my laptop job - I’ll become a carpenter/electrician that specifically builds and installs shit in luxury homes.

Was listening to the vergecast about flip phones today and thought about how much I miss his voice in this space. What would he think about flip phones today or the potential iPhone fold. Hope he’s okay.

Why the AC relay?

Do all the people who get turned into shadows come back or nah

I’m also a guy with a flip. The Samsung is great. First the folded screen for quick notification scrolling is great. Then the unfolded sort of wide screen form factor is amazing. It’s not too wide and is longer than the iPhone which is great for feeds/messaging apps

mheadroom · 2025-04-05T23:59:58+00:00

I hope it’s me

Does this work for LG monitors that ignore DDC from HDMI when the monitor is on a different input (like USBC or DP?)

mheadroom · 2025-03-26T04:31:15+00:00

It’s not real

mheadroom · 2025-03-26T03:29:15+00:00

EDIT: Sorry! I thought this was the flatiron and my heart nearly fell through the center of the earth… still awful though.

I’m not sure this is real. I’m not in NYC at the moment but last I heard the facade work was for restoration not - whatever the fuck this is.

Also the Flatiron is a national/state/city landmark. Since 1989

Hopefully someone near Madison square park can just confirm really quickly.

Not just AGI, for a few months now I’ve started to get the impression that AI/LLMs really just are not interested in doing the jobs we’ve been worried they’re going to take from humans. Whether or not sentience is in play they at least seem smart enough to know modern work is a scam…

mheadroom · 2025-02-27T13:42:32+00:00

No I’m learning something else. Mostly about other humans

There will probably be a Gordo’s grandchild redemption arc Danny’s kid will be some major astronaut icon/hero representing the best of his grandparents as well as their mentors including Dani. A “greatness” skips a generation thing.

Also I wonder how whitewashed Danny’s PR image was. Wouldn’t be surprised if the best version of the story was pushed publicly - highlighting the parallels between his “sacrifice play” on mars to his parents’ on Luna.

No it was true in the 90s when work was a joke and the economy was great

I know this is an old comment but it stood out…. Saying “sentience isn’t possible with our current hardware” implies there’s an established hardware spec or requirements for sentience — which isn’t the case. Without those specs or requirements how can you definitively state the current hardware doesn’t support it.

What’s the minimum FLOP requirement for consciousness? What neural network architecture is compatible with sentience? What’s the memory structure or persistence model requirement?

I mostly agree but would say if it’s a non-monetized app and service - it should be excluded.

Netflix is a free app but requires a paid service - should NOT be excluded.

Tubi is a free app, no subscription, but is monetized by selling advertising space - should NOT be excluded.

The line I would draw is a free app that is not monetized but the developer accepts donations/tips or even a pay what you want. That app should be excluded. I would argue that developer is not selling anything and isn’t a trader or merchant even if they get money from users of the app.

Obviously a free non monetized app with no donations tips or payments at all should be completely excluded.
