Trying to stop China’s semiconductor progress by letting them keep DUV machines and allowing “technical talks” is exactly like trying to stop Japanese clockmaking by letting in one Jesuit clock repairman.

For however advanced is YouTube's AI, it still gets things hilariously wrong sometimes. For example, it put a suicide notice on a video from a Buddhist monk talking about extreme tantric practices like self-immolation in Buddhism.

I hope that there will not be AI in Nirvāṇa.😅

What upsets me the most about this is that if this were an open platform where you were in charge of finding someone to control Neo, be it yourself or somebody that you would either directly hire over freelancing or just someone you know irl, it could be incredibly useful as an accessibility tool.

You can even imagine a version of this where volunteers help people that are elderly or physically disabled that have one of these and operate the robot for them. And each client of the charity has, let's say, a certain number of uses of the robot per day.

We spend a lot of time teaching kids outdoor survival skills, such as with the Boy Scouts, but none at all teaching digital survival skills. And let me tell you, if you invite this thing into your house, you have absolutely zero digital survival skills.

For me, I think this is really the biggest red flag. That their employees are allowed to control the robot and see all of what it can do. But you are not allowed to control the robot with the software they have, even if you buy one. That's insane to me.

This robot called Neo is essentially a robotic body with cameras in the eyes that allow workers (perhaps originally in the United States, but if economies of scales take over, it will definitely be in the cheapest labour markets) to peer inside of your home and to do chores for you.

I just got a much better signal by taking advantage of the fact that La Mega WEMG is also available as an HD radio stream alongside 97.3 (HD1). I can decode it with `nrsc5` and then I can listen to it. :D nrsc5 97.3 1 -g 1.4 -o - | ffmpeg -i - -f s16le -ar 44100 -ac 2 -f wav - | ffplay -

I have a bit of an unhealthy obsession with my local Spanish hits radio station, which is WEMG La Mega 93.9. I like listening to it because sometimes it has the news from my area, South Jersey, in Spanish, and I can also practice even when it's ads or music. So I like listening to it for practice.

The film I'm (re)watching this morning is Breakfast at Tiffany's. I like how it starts with an actual breakfast at Tiffany & Co. I always forget that funny little joke in the beginning.

Every time I rewatch this film I can't help but cringe at the violence the cat suffers. I'm pretty sure it's just a case of practical effects, but I do appreciate the fact that Hollywood films now are mostly cruelty-free.

I guess this is technically a Halloween scene, isn't it? The one where they steal the masks from the 5 and 10 shop, which, without Googling it, I think, was a place in the 1960s where you could get things for 5 cents or 10 cents. A name for a store that no longer works due to inflation.

I just don't understand how everyone can know that global warming will destroy property values in Florida/South Texas in the next 30 to 50 years and yet property there can still go for over a million dollars🤔

The House of Mirth (2000) was recommended after my earlier posts. It's quite a bit different from Blue Jasmine etc, but I can see how it's in the same vein. I'm quite enjoying it. This scene cracked it up, and the drama of who she'll choose and how she'll settle her debts is interesting, I confess.

All this has led me to wonder, is the archetype of the socialite dead? Has the influencer totally replaced the socialite? Or does the young socialite still exist? Just in society so high, it is out of our reach and we hardly even make films about it anymore.
