- 76Posted by $ Thoritsu 5 days, 9 hours ago to Figure’s General Purpose Robot: Does 2026 Change Everything?Having written thousands of lines of neural network code, the idea that 109K lines were replaced with a single neural network is silly.
A neural network is not a code-less, or modest resource thing. It is probably also written in C, although maybe there is another language for Nvidia cards. A neural network is also quite resource intensive, with thousands of calculations for basic functions. This is why AI consumes so much power. It is terribly inefficient.
On the other hand, neural networks can solve complicated problems that don't suit prescriptively or algorithmic, closed-form coded solutions. They can solve non-linear, complicated problems, and border of reasoning. They can beat humans at chess, and other thinking games. The game "Go" was a barrier, but that has been broken through as well,
No surprise these robots can learn like this. Should be extremely useful.
Still seems like self-awareness is not that far off. Certainly not 50 years off. - 77Posted by $ Thoritsu 5 days, 10 hours ago to IN THE MEME TYME 3/16/26 MAGAzean EDITION: Dire StraitsWe gotta get that regime out. Bombs are not enough.

- 79Posted by mccannon01 5 days, 14 hours ago to Figure’s General Purpose Robot: Does 2026 Change Everything?I thought buying some stock in this company might pay off like buying Ford or Apple in their early days, but I don't think it's trading publicly. Oh well.
- 80Posted by mccannon01 5 days, 14 hours ago to IN THE MEME TYME 3/16/26 MAGAzean EDITION: Dire StraitsEveryone is Irish tomorrow so have a great day! Very good set, OUC! Iranians in London are a pleasant change from what the press normally shows regarding the US. I hope the ones in Iran can pull off a coup and NOT install another form of Islamic tainted government - after almost five decades of intense Imam brainwashing that's a tall order - see Iraq and Afghanistan. Third from the end gets you thinking that Trump may pull off the greatest coup ever ending their power at least for a few decades to come. Thank you, again, OUC!
- 81Posted by mccannon01 5 days, 15 hours ago to IN THE MEME TYME 3/16/26 MAGAzean EDITION: Dire StraitsHappy birthday to you, dino!
- 82Posted by mccannon01 5 days, 15 hours ago to IN THE MEME TYME SUNDAY PAPER EDITION 3/15/26Aha! So that was YOUR ass on the floor, LOL!
- 83Posted by $ Olduglycarl 5 days, 23 hours ago to IN THE MEME TYME 3/16/26 MAGAzean EDITION: Dire StraitsThe ultimate divide is between Good and evil but I see as a runners up: the great divide between Human and Humanoid, Productive and parasitical, Moral and the great unwashed, All have their roots in Good and evil,
- 84Posted by 73SHARK 6 days ago to IN THE MEME TYME 3/16/26 MAGAzean EDITION: Dire StraitsHappy Ides of March.
- 85Me dino will. Because my age increases on that day, relatives will treat me to a meal I usually pay for when another relative is celebrated at a certain favorite Mexican restaurant.
A half Swede being a quarter Irish on my mother's side, I also get to be 100% Irish for 24 hours.
How? Leprechauns aren't as mean in that monster movie that has too many sequels.
Thanks for the Branco meme, OUC. That cartoonist is a favorite of mine.
Oh, what's Uncle Sam's Brit mascot toon's name? John Bull? Yeah, he's full of it!
Iranians in London honoring our dead by singing our national anthem?
While displaying their photos with flowers and photos? Almost brought tears to my eyes!. - 86Posted by $ Olduglycarl 6 days, 2 hours ago to IN THE MEME TYME 3/16/26 MAGAzean EDITION: Dire StraitsHappy St Patricks Day
- 87Posted by Abaco 6 days, 2 hours ago to What Covid Policy Did to Doctors Who Refused to Stay SilentScience is dead. Has been dead in America for 30+ years. What really matters most to the establishment is that certain pharma producers get their bank accounts stuffed. That's more important than you living or dying. It is what it is.
- 88Not quite, LMAO, Opps, can't do that anymore as I left my ass in the Friday memes!
Some people think they have seen him at Trump Rallies. (Although, I'm sure he would be in disguise).
We might very well find out before Trump leaves the White House at the end of his term. - 89We all did but I betcha she thinks she did, I remember he was worried about being taken out back in the day; not to mention I was headed to Block Island that day and remember "Hearing" the plane and thought, I'm not the only crazy one out here in the fog.
- 90Posted by freedomforall 6 days, 4 hours ago to Figure’s General Purpose Robot: Does 2026 Change Everything?I'm not sure that most humans are in 'growth mode'.
I think that may be true of the small minority that think beyond their immediate locale and imposed limits.
The rest of humanity are observers and consumers, not pioneers, imo.
They may become pioneers if their situation is sufficiently limiting, e.g., colonists of America that were debtors or felt otherwise oppressed.
That may still become the case given how poorly governments are currently treating many people, imo. - 91Posted by Commander 6 days, 5 hours ago to Figure’s General Purpose Robot: Does 2026 Change Everything?The same question arises: What is the technological threshold that precludes the expansionism model that has prevailed for at least 5000 years. Contemporary humans are always in growth mode. What about static stability?
This new space frontier will be for too small a minority to matter. The likelihood of our present physiology leaving the uniqueness of this solar system will not be done without substantive genetic alteration .... oh wait, Bill has that covered.
Too much change in too little time. For those who are not prepared the affects may be devastating.
Toffler: Future Shock 1970 - 92Posted by mccannon01 6 days, 6 hours ago to Future proves pastI meant to add to the above that the main topic was vote fraud and the info on that was very good. I hope they keep visiting the progress on that subject.
- 93Posted by freedomforall 6 days, 7 hours ago to Figure’s General Purpose Robot: Does 2026 Change Everything?How about a Gulch in space for the people who are willing to take risks for freedom and reward?
With space habitats, the frontier challenge is back, I think.
Granted, there is a long road to that frontier. - 94Posted by Commander 6 days, 7 hours ago to Figure’s General Purpose Robot: Does 2026 Change Everything?Alrighty then ............ might as well get rid of 98% of our species. Only about 2% are creators.
And then .... where are the consumers? And .... way too many robots. This could be an Achilles Heel in respect to a Gulch.
A species that is not challenged will always suffer attrition in basic survival instinct. To the point of extinction? - 95Posted by 73SHARK 6 days, 8 hours ago to IN THE MEME TYME SUNDAY PAPER EDITION 3/15/26I thought Hillary took down the Kennedy plane. Hmm.
- 96Posted by mccannon01 6 days, 13 hours ago to What Covid Policy Did to Doctors Who Refused to Stay SilentWell worth reading. Documenting all those medical Galileos hammered down by the political medical church during C-19 will hopefully lessen the establishments grip the next time so better progress can be made.
- 97Posted by mccannon01 6 days, 14 hours ago to Future proves pastI was able to watch a couple last night on the Apple TV box using the Rumble app. The "Lounge" had good tunes, but stayed with it only a short while. It would be nice to bring up for music while I'm working on something. I found the actual edition interesting, but it got a bit boring. Flipping through screens faster than I could focus searching for stuff they should have before going on air didn't help, either. I'll stop in from time to time to see how they're handling new topics.
- 98Posted by mccannon01 6 days, 14 hours ago to IN THE MEME TYME SUNDAY PAPER EDITION 3/15/26Thanks, OUC, for Sunday starters. The first set is morbid humor - fits the moment, LOL. The second set illustrates something "we" knew all along as they have been sent to govern the secret C_A base on Mars.
- 99Posted by Aeronca 1 week ago to TGIFfunnies 3/13/26 EDITION: Something's Not Quite Right Here!I think Lando was about to say...
"IT'S A TRAP!!!" - 100Me dino liked the first one for terrorist raghead leaders being honorably selected to blow up.
The second one ensnared me into a lost kinda Twilight Zone I could not escape unless I clicked my mouse.
