I don’t think that’s quite true. (Happy to be proven wrong if somebody has better numbers than me.)
From what I can see the launch business generated $4.1 billion, but profits in that segment are negative because the $3 billion in Starship development costs are lumped in to that. The overall loss (-$600 million) would instantly turn into great profit if they decided to give up on Starship.
But for sure, xAi is a nightmare. Absolutely Elon trying to bail himself out again.
Starlink is massively profitable, look at their balance sheets. It’s very simple, their users pay them a lot of money to access the internet. Far, far more than the launch costs to maintain the constellation.
Their defense launch business is also profitable, though I haven’t checked how much.
The Starship development and stupid acquisitions (xai) have been a money pit though.
They literally are Christian, which is the belief in Jesus as the son of God. Full stop. Any other definition is intentionally designed by certain Christians to delegitimize other versions of Christianity.
The biblical canon was determined by several committees hundreds of years after Christianity was founded, and only explicitly formalized for Catholics in 1545! Heck the canon is STILL not fully agreed upon in Christian denominations. It’s clearly a terrible indicator for what defines a Christian.
Moreover, just because one religion decided to add to that canon does not inherently stop them from being Christian. It’s ALL made up, a little extra bullshit doesn’t make it any different.
Why didn’t Zuckerberg just instruct the AI to not be hackable? SMH my head
I think you guys forget how bad it was for queer people. The corpos are not creating division, that division already existed. And it’s way better than it used to be.
Strongly disagree. Normalizing queerness as acceptable (even if some people push back) is essential to change national culture. The motivation does not matter - normalization is critical.
Not too far off. The main character is a venerable 51.
Ew, it sends your data to the cloud? Even encrypted that’s pretty unnecessary.
Pretty sure it uses Collabora, which is literally LibreOffice source code in a web shell.
Edit: just checked, they are using OnlyOffice as a base instead of the already European Collabora. Strange choice but so be it.
Yep, this effectively handed Musk complete dominance for another 12 months.
The Trump Phone has a waterfall display design that was popular on Android handsets three to five years ago.

Maybe an infinite money glitch for the lawyers.
The problem is that it’s not a supply chain. It’s a supply tree structure. Your ten dependencies might have ten dependencies each, which might in turn have ten dependencies each. cough cough node
The only path forward is for responsible developers to reduce external dependencies, and for each of the library maintainers to reduce external dependencies as well.
Rough. Unfortunately Valve can’t shake the RAM or SSD shortage.

Impossible. It doesn’t require any local infrastructure, so there’s no inherent lock-in like you see with utilities.
Utterly delusional CEO.
All very interesting thoughts, I went through basically that whole conflict myself the first time I decided to not finish a puzzle.
Here’s how I look at it: a puzzle is fundamentally a challenge to see if you can solve it. (Maybe people will disagree with me on that, but in my mind, that’s what it is.) So as soon as I have finished enough of it that I can say “Yep, I’ve solved it. Only trivial moves are left. Even a baby could finish this puzzle.” it no longer is a puzzle to me. I’ve proven that I can do it, and that is the satisfying part to me.
If someone else has a different goal for puzzles (eg. they want to view the unblemished art) then maybe that line of thinking doesn’t really follow. As with all games, you can decide how to play - do whatever brings you the most satisfaction.
That actually brings me to another point. There is immense social pressure in games to play the games the “right” way. However, there is no wrong way to enjoy your recreation time (as long as you are not harming someone of course). Rule books are a suggestion, not a fact of life. Heck, there are more house rules in Monopoly than there are real rules.
Anyway, sorry about the rant, your line of thought was very interesting to me, thank you for sharing!
Pretty much nothing. Any company with the resources of Google or Amazon could easily have their top 100 wake words trained into that model.
I like to build puzzles except for the last piece, just to prove to myself that finishing most tasks is a societal pressure, not an existential one.
Yes, Jesus, son of God, born to the Virgin Mary, died on the cross, resurrected. Then only AFTER his resurrection he was supposed to have visited the Americas very briefly.
It’s basically equivalent to Jesus appearing to Saul rather than his secret vacation in America.
I mean, not that there’s any evidence at all for anything in the Book of Mormon (quite the contrary) but that’s not the part that would be incompatible canonically.
