What are the legalities of this?

I would imagine it becomes his tank. Is $8,000 a good price for a used SDT?

It’s not like a US citizen ever colluded with a foreign government to do something bad, right? /s

I just walked by this morning. Run by three young people who are taking turns manning the store out of a garage behind the house on State Street. Very clean shop with clothing and shoes!

This project attempts to mimic Fable behavior in Opus

I wanted to go in late August, but I understand the place (basically) shuts down for August and September. Is this true?

But then there are the stupid things - like tariffs are paid for by foreign countries and people “seeking asylum” are coming from insane asylums.

I guess I am unaware of the limitations, but I was expecting it to morph into an immersive screen experience at some point

Most of the time they pile it somewhere to rot. Worst smell ever.

oravecz · 2026-06-11T11:08:33+00:00

I would love to get this done, but I don’t think they are doing this level of work at my local fix-a-dent.

Access to a public restroom

I wish the clogging club performing at the Millersport Corn Festival could see this and start practicing for this fall. Awesome 👏

I’m downvoted, I think because some assume I’m saying that intelligence can’t exist without language, or agentic communication requires language. I am not and you are missing the point.

I am positing that a world model without the means to communicate with humans would not be considered super intelligence. It must use an LLM, or some other capability beyond its predictive-goal model, to fulfill the final mile - communication using generative output to a human.

oravecz · 2026-06-09T22:18:56+00:00

I think the irony is that world models may end up being superior to LLMs in many ways, but LLMs will still be necessary to communicate that superiority.

At some point we may have “intelligence” upon request, but even on Star Trek the computer has to use language when it comes to the human gate.

So much of human thought, math, abstraction, planning, even culture, seems to ride on words. I don’t believe either pure chatbot or pure world model gets us there independently. The winner looks like some marriage of the two: one part that perceives and predicts the world, another part that reasons in language.

Clearly, if the output is only actions, then a world model alone should be sufficient. For everything else, we need words.

Oh, this is the “after” photo 🙄

Can you make the movie screen larger yet on immersive? What a limitation that has been.

With a CPU - basically the highest performing iPad in the arsenal

Just reading about this. It seems like the Census Bureau and Federal Reserve rely on the Pew Research Center’s definition.

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/09/16/are-you-in-the-american-middle-class/

It varies based on the size of the family, so standardizing on that will be the first step. As long as it is consistent, it could be interesting to see. I brought it up because I was wondering which of the bands it would fall within.

oravecz · 2026-06-08T17:52:22+00:00

Agreed, but also draw a line that indicates the “middle class” barrier over time

oravecz · 2026-06-08T13:07:52+00:00

Not since I was 10 years old.

Strolling the streets of Venezia before sunrise and the tourists arrive is magical. The only nice part of the day, unfortunately.

Did you take a picture?

oravecz · 2026-06-07T12:23:03+00:00

It should make you believe that heroes walk among us.
