A) I'm surprised Google isn't working on this too.
B) don't cum on my back and call it rain. You're using us as beta testers to create a better advertising delivery tool to capture the entire planet. Not just the languages that are easily understood by your in house people.

@DogsB I’m not surprised they can read Zuck’s lips. Robots have very deterministic motion, which should make it easier to interpret.

I've seen a youtuber take tiktoks where they do. But most were extremely wealthy people.
They build secret passages and post videos of them on the internet?
Ok.

And perhaps a yard where I can build a bunker in secret.
Have you been studying Colin's videos?
I've been planning to build one way longer than that. The last house i lived in the bunker plan was vetoed by my girlfriend at the time.
So hopefully my current girlfriend won't veto the bunker in the next house.I've been partial to a moat.
If you move to Florida, you can have a moat with crocodiles.

Being realistic all you probably need is Spanish, Chinese and English. Anything else is showing off.

If you move to Florida, you can have a moat with crocodiles.
Only in the southern part, though. Southern Florida is the only area on earth in which both alligators and crocodiles inhabit the same region. In the rest of Florida, it's only alligators.

Giant microbe from a mangrove could be a missing link between single-celled organisms and the cells that make up humans
I'd be surprised if it's not highly specialized for its own niche in the ecosystem.

So if you build your house in Northern Florida, you can call the moat The Sanctuary For Misplaced Crocodiles? May get it tax-deducted as charity work?

Having not been familiarized with the word "mangrove" before, I could only imagine it referred to the hairy zone around one's genitalia.

And what can we do about it?
I seriously doubt there is anything we need to do about it. A gravity wave stretches and compresses the space, but since it stretches and compresses it with everything in it, it has nearly no effect on anything. And then after spreading over nine billion light years, it will be extremely weak anyway.

They say gravity is the weakest of all the fundamental forces. They say this even after falling into a crumpled heap of broken bones down a flight of stairs.

We could create a second SMBH merger with a 180° phase shift so that the waves cancel each other at the correct position.

There's certainly nothing any of us need to do about it. That's a Y12k problem.

From the sound of it they haven't really stopped their VR + Metaverse nonsense, they just stopped development on a new operating system which was supposed to run on all their devices.

@boomzilla said in In other news today...:
There is a crowd funding attempt every one in a while for a system like that. And there has been a few where they put the computer in a mouse.
There isn't many places that you could put a computer and not have prior tech. But the us patent system being largely shit, they are gonna get the patent.

Well, as long as Apple tells the PTO about the prior art, the PTO will deny the submission. Used to be the PTO would check too, but, something something commies.
-
@Gribnit why would Apple tell them about the prior art, including Apple’s own examples of substantively the same thing?

There's a spot in the form for it . At least I think there's still a spot in the form for it.
I demand a GNU HURD keyboard, with daemon code and coprocessing in the keycaps.
-
@Gribnit so? Nothing says you have to fill it in accurately. Just “to the best of your knowledge”. And if you get
AsokJimmy the Intern who is far too young to have ever seen or heard of an Apple II or any of the Sinclair computers, most of Commodore’s range, most of the stuff from Arm when it wasn’t just an abbreviation etc. Etc., you can even be honest about it because those machines are all so ancient and prehistoric in a very real sense.

@boomzilla said in In other news today...:
Meanwhile, those of us with more than a little grey around the temples might recall a time when most, if not all, microcomputers – from companies like Commodore, Atari, Sinclair and even Apple – included both the input device and the computing innards in the one enclosure.
I'm looking at a modern example right now: It's got the guts of the computer underneath the keyboard, along with some additional space for a wrist rest and trackpad, and a built-in screen on a hinge behind it.

Make sure that stays on, or you'll be illegally innovating

Why would anyone ever not fill out a form completely and accurately to the best of their ability?

Of course. Electromagnetism (the next weakest fundamental force) is what gives matter its solidity at all, among other things.

And the strong nuclear force is what makes a madman with 6000+ warheads a bit of a concern.

Is it branded _Biological Advanced Technologies_, and does it work for sharks, too?
