100%. I did get a 32gb mini pc this summer. win 11 is not as stable as win 10 on ddr3, mostly sleep/monitor issues. and 780m on ddr5 is about the same for gaming as 1660s on ddr3. Don’t chase gaming frame rates until prices get more reasonable. If you somehow don’t have a PC more recent than ddr3, then it’s not time to get into gaming, but upgrading cpu/gpu and an extra 16gb ram is likely the better value compared to new system.

I think the system is supposed to spread out on its own, and converge on a target “autonomously”. May even search for a target autonomously instead of needing to scan 200 video streams, but that could also be the role of the operator.

Default difficulty… Certain wiping out of every living being in your village, and failure. Conclusions in article are fairly poor as they are “games are already designed smartly, and there’s nothing that should be changed.”

A good game concept would be to put the player as a “middle manager” with feudal lord as the client. The mission is how to best oppress the villagers in order to graduate to better employment: managing a bigger city.

Afghanistan had its treasury holdings in US banks. Iraq still does. It doesn’t have permission to withdraw, and its oil revenue goes into US controlled bank account. ie. The US has veto power over Iraq government spending budget. Venezuela, now has such an explicitly bragged about arrangement, with explicit promise to directly steal Venezuela funds for US/Trump interests.

It’s a good test of sovereignty to request withdrawal, or selling whatever is supposed to be held.

Not sure what your point is. Oligarchist or Zionist supremacism has no influence on US democracy? No politician supports warmongering? Where is the crap?

do something useful

Skynet or China wins is the goal. It’s useful to US empire to do Palantir surveilllance for “Patriotic subservience to Israel first agenda”. Robocops instead of ICE officers provides useful increase in bravery to apply fascism. We must race China in robots, without any manufacturing aptitude, or power capacity, with only extortionist oligarch power expansion options, under an oligarchist, corporatist, zionist supremacist fascism to concentrate oligarchy and fascism further, so as to force China to keep up and “everyone” (important) makes money playing the game of winning is which side gets destroyed more.

So, as long as we view US empire as useful, Skynet is very useful. We can pretend that some other apps will be useful (Nadela is saying “just buy a PC and learn excel to be useful” as main point), but all of big tech is courting US government for big datacenter use, and political unanimity for war on China, means there is no other “useful” application required.

The most important social permission for AI, is the permission to fund Skynet, and the permission for warmongering military budget and attitude. An Israel/Oligarchist first rulership means there is never any money for any other purpose than that supremacism. The destination of collapse is a consequence only for the little people. Wealth “creation” (pillaging) in the journey, and escape from consequences of collapse.

US will collapse on its own.

NATO colonies have been increasing US debt holdings in 2025, instead of sharply reducing them in face of US threats against them. Ending US military procurement, boeing, caterpillar, and US NATO membership, would be destruction of US empire.

The US proxy war on Russia through Ukraine was a US war on Europe. Nordstream, and energy capture for a year or 2. The biggest Trump lie at Davos is that Europe’s energy is expensive due to their adoption of renewables. When, in fact it is their capture to extortionist US energy, instead of Russian bridge energy, and military subservience to US, that is destroying Europe. Far better and more equitable trading opportunity with Russia replacing US as a trading partner, or even as a NATO member.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bShGUPU3TQ $120/kwh. There are amazon listings for 20kwh in rack batteries for under $3000. It does take DIY (no soldering kits) to get to $100/kwh. searching youtube for projects/options reviews, and especially the linked author is recommended if you’re interested.

EVs alone have major grid balancing potential. You can get home batteries for under $100/kwh in US right now, and cost of EV batteries have always been lower due to bulk/contract purchases. At $100/kwh, even from grid TOU use power, you can time shift profitably for just 1c/kwh before financing costs, but before resilience/backup benefits from batteries.

Solar is by far the cheapest way to charge those batteries, where home solar without monopoly persecution from utilities, as in Australia, can be extra affordable. But even before abundant solar is permitted in our countries, or even net metering, simply having TOU rates that are cheap at night allows for enough arbitrage for when TOU rates are high. Where some EVs are $300/kwh to $500/kwh for the entire car, TOU rates can allow for arbitrage that pays for whole car.

Kites are more complicated than spinnakers which are already “fishing junk out of the water with extra steps” complicated. It is promising for solar electric boats, both as backup power, and voyage power boost, but even if they are promised as autopiloted flight, there needs to be a lot of experience in how to use them and when to bring them down ahead of weather, and lulls are big problems. There are commercial ship models, but I’m unaware of success stories with customer satisfaction.

Powell is an absolute republican stooge, who by delaying rate cuts in 2024, as the key move, ensured no economic relief until after election campaign. He has also blocked “carbon accounting” for large public firms, because it could only be the basis for legislation/taxation that could save the world.

The theater that Trump needs someone to blame for economic chaos, but who like most other leaders in the world just slow walk their subjugation to him, but just, like all the other leaders, results in stronger demands for more subjugation because the economic chaos must be others fault… is the theater that makes false heroes out of GOP stooges

I didn’t mean a headline. I meant one act that you know is true, preferably because there is video of it. UN/NGOs are not any more credible than US/CIA accusations because they are more often than not directly controlled by the latter. The sheer volume of bs turns out to expose the pervasiveness of the corruption of accuser network rather than one verifiable event.

In Romania, they declared a candidate illegal.

Putin has higher approval ratings than any western leader. Chinese people are happier with their level of democracy than any country in the west.

Our countries are extremely corrupt with elections fully determined by Zionism, CIA and oligarchy, with parliaments/congress providing 0 useful bills of any kind, including avoiding popularly requested freedoms.

An empirical definition of democracy, as best fit, is nations with performative elections that result in a winner that is in full agreement with US foreign policy.

The cognitive dissonance of popular discontent within US’s NATO colonies is that because the US is a directly stated enemy intent on destroying them, they would be far more advantaged to be in an alliance with Russia and China, and to contain the US, instead of finding the most extreme way of subjugating themselves harder to the US.

a corrupt president getting arrested.

You’re just repeating US empire propaganda, just as its view on murdered driver. The actual only reason to leave the Venezuelan government in place is because they are more corrupt/bribeable than Maduro. The US is most corrupt country on earth and I can name 10 direct corruption acts from Trump alone. Can you name 1 corrupt act from Maduro?

Carney’s statement on Venezuela is equivalent to "We recognize the greatness of the extermination of domestic liberal terrorist in Mineapolis this week, and sympathize with the brave officer’s tragedy of dealing with anti-American sentiment. However, we hope that America can be peaceful and cooperative, with due process, in the future.

Canada has failed to make important and needed concrete shifts. Bank of Canada increased its US holdings by 15% = $9B over the year, with Canadian institutions adding $50B. It chickened out on taxing big US tech, and eliminated all counter tariffs.

Worst by far is the completely unphased military posture of amplifying US force projection and warmongering propaganda. It has not reversed a single demonic lie it accepted in the past from the US, including Russia provoked war in Ukraine, Venezuela had illegitimate ruler, Russia and China are threats to Canada’s arctic, and Mexican drug cartels are state sponsored terrorism. Canada has accepted subordinate NATO members role to be proxies in war on Russia by accepting the funding burden for US containment/diminishment policy on Russia, as well as US arms purchases to help with force amplification in future war on Russia.

Canada’s continued commitment to F35 (with kill switch) purchases, defense pact with US dictatorial puppet in Philippines who, like Ukraine, is happy to be bribed to suicide itself on China. It cooperated with US navy in Carribean late last year.

This is important for all of us. But, it will definitely boost Chinese chip manufacturing if prices are awesome even if they need to improve yields.

article didn’t say anything. How does denser plasma achieve higher temperatures or other benefits? What advances did their denser plasma produce?

You’re right that in demos, atlas focuses on practical tasks, and it does have great hands. I have seen the Chinese bots sort items from a conveyor belt and fold clothes. Given the price gap, I think China could add good hands and be competitive, but as an open platform, its similar to early PCs, and customers could dream about adding hands. It’s a huge deal to ship stuff for sale to anyone. The big lead china has is in the motor miniaturization, it seems to me.

comparisons that make Atlas look better than the video included in my response. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3NkPU9nSr

or choreographed. Definitely not a task demo, although they have made some.
