@honeymoon250 Have BLT's for dinner.

Be honest, what would you do next???

@Marlayna29 Take Paul Simon's advice: "You just slip out the back, Jack Make a new plan, Stan You don’t need to be coy, Roy Just get yourself free Hop on the bus, Gus You don’t need to discuss much Just drop off the key, Lee And get yourself free."

What is the right way to handle this situation?

@Acosta This is more like it:

Trump has done it again, tweeting another crazy Jesus post. Yes I confirmed on his Truth Social to be sure. Here’s the latest:

@realninawysocka Much less obesity. It is endemic in the US because of our crappy diet.

This is a beach in Poland. What do you notice?

@Jennnyyyyyy 3.141592654... ?

This is harder than it looks 😬 Difficulty - Max 😎

@rryssf_ This might take a while to perfect...

🚨 BREAKING: Meta AI just published a roadmap to replace conventional computers with neural networks. The goal: a single set of weights that handles computation, memory, and I/O the way your CPU, RAM, and operating system do today but learned entirely from screen recordings and user interactions. Every computer you have ever used runs on the same basic architecture invented in the 1940s. Explicit programs. Separate hardware for compute, memory, and input/output. An operating system sitting between you and the machine. Meta AI just published a paper arguing this entire stack should be replaced by a single neural network. They call it a Neural Computer. > Not an AI assistant running on top of a computer. > Not an agent that controls your mouse and keyboard. The computer itself learned from data. The core idea is straightforward. Every time you interact with a computer, you produce a stream of inputs and outputs. Keystrokes. Mouse movements. Screen states. Terminal sessions. Application transitions. Meta's proposal: train a neural network on those streams until the network itself can reproduce the computer's behavior. No operating system. No instruction set. No explicit programs. Just weights that learned what a computer does by watching it happen. They call the mature version of this a Completely Neural Computer. To qualify, it needs to be Turing complete, universally programmable, and behavior-consistent unless explicitly reprogrammed. In plain English: it needs to do everything a conventional computer can do, be reprogrammable like a conventional computer, and not silently change its own behavior during normal use. No existing system meets all three criteria. But Meta built early prototypes to test whether the idea is even tractable. The first prototype learns to simulate a command-line terminal from screen recordings. They trained it on 1,100 hours of real terminal sessions and 250,000 scripted terminal scripts. The model learned to render readable terminal output, maintain cursor state across frames, and execute short command chains. Character-level text accuracy reached 54% at 60,000 training steps — up from 3% at initialization. The second prototype learns to simulate a desktop GUI from mouse and keyboard inputs. They trained it on 1,500 hours of desktop interaction, including 110 hours of goal-directed sessions from Claude CUA. The model learned cursor tracking, click feedback, hover states, and window transitions. Cursor accuracy reached 98.7% with explicit visual supervision — up from 8.7% with coordinate-only training. Then they tested arithmetic. If a neural computer is going to replace a real computer, it needs to handle symbolic computation. Basic math. The kind every calculator has handled since 1972. The results were humbling: → Wan2.1 (base video model): 0% arithmetic accuracy → Meta's NCCLIGen prototype: 4% → Veo 3.1: 2% → Sora 2: 71% (the notable outlier) The gap between 4% and what a $5 calculator does is the entire distance between a prototype and a real computer. Meta knows this. The paper is explicit: symbolic stability, routine reuse, and runtime governance are all unsolved. The current prototypes are strong renderers and controllable interfaces. They are not native reasoners. But the direction is the point. Conventional computers are programmed through explicit code. Neural computers would be programmed through interaction — prompts, demonstrations, screen recordings, and usage traces. The training data for this kind of system is not scarce. Every person using a computer generates it continuously. Keystrokes, cursor movements, application states, terminal sessions — all of it is logged interaction that could serve as executable specification for a learned machine. Meta's argument: the world produces orders of magnitude more interaction data than high-quality code. If neural computers work, programming shifts from writing code to curating interactions. The operating system disappears into the weights. The instruction set disappears into the weights. The entire stack that sits between human intent and machine behavior collapses into a single learned runtime. That is the bet. The prototypes do not prove the bet pays off. They prove the direction is not obviously wrong.

@_InfoGram_ The poverty in Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq are due to Islamic extremists gaining control and wrecking those economies.

This is BRUTAL 🗿 🇺🇸JD Vance: "Trump said that If 🇮🇷Iran commit to not having a nukes, we are going to make Iran economically thrive.” 🇮🇷IRAN : "Look at how prosperous all these countries like Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq became after they trusted israel and the US."🔥🔥😂

@Geniustechw Too many hotdogs and not enough beans. Cut those hotdogs into thin slices and stir them into beans. More meals for the money that way. To save, buy your beans and rice dry at Costco and soak them for 24 hours before using.

You come home hungry, almost no groceries, no money left. This is the plate your wife (or husband) makes you. Your real reaction?

@NoContextHumans Foul. I tip about 30%. Waiters and Waitresses need to eat too.

Fair or foul?

@PK50ae @niccruzpatane It is also good for the environment to stop using oil products for combustion.

@PK50ae @niccruzpatane Oil is fungible. Using it here supports high prices worldwide. That's why we pay world market prices for our domestic crude. If we don't use it in the first place, we can sell ours on the world market then and further depress prices that terrorists get. It's a one-two punch.

This is the sound of the all-electric Tesla Semi. Deliveries of the new Production Version begin this year: • Long Range model has 500 miles of range with a full payload. • 1.7 kWh per mile efficiency (average diesel semis are roughly 5–7 kWh per mile equivalent energy use). • Tri-motor powertrain with 800 kW of power (~1,073 hp), 3x the power of the average diesel semi. • The battery in the Semi is designed to last 1M miles. • Standard Range model (325 mi) has a similar turning radius as a Tesla Model 3/Y. • 0.4 drag coefficient. • Independent truckers are able to buy a Semi for use, not just fleet owners. • Semi fleet uptime is at 95% due to extremely low maintenance and reliability. • Integrated safety features in the Semi protect not just the driver but others on the road as well. • Future wireless charging. • Semi uses the same 4680 battery cells found in the Cybertruck. • Semi can power a whole refrigeration trailer or any powered unit. The technology is shared with Cybertruck Powershare.

@6triple7 @niccruzpatane Yes.

@niccruzpatane Can the batteries be recycled when they no longer hold a charge? If not where do they go?

@GTeaman @JayD73256583468 @AesPolitics1 What happened under Reagan was the direct results of Reagan's destroy-the-middle-class and coddle the rich policies. Also, he tripled the national debt.

It’s interesting that you didn’t mention that revenue generation from taxes hit record amounts during the Reagan administration. Annual revenue collected actually doubled over the eight years he was in office. Congress lied about not increasing spending and spent more than was taken in. That’s not Reagan’s fault.

Reagan is one if not the worst presidents in history and I stand by that statement to my dying day.

@JayD73256583468 @GTeaman @AesPolitics1 Me too. Reagan raised my taxes, too. It was a real struggle t o buy a tiny townhouse for our first home under Reagan. 13% mortgages were common and ours was 12 7/8%. We were chronically broke due to Reagan's policies. He sucked.

@BleedingHartL1b @GTeaman @AesPolitics1 My just widowed mom had to take out a loan to pay federal taxes thanks to Reagan’s tax “cuts”. He also nearly tripled the national debt. I was still pretty young, but I read a lot about politics back then, registered as Democrat and have voted Dem 95% of the time since.

@terryjohns91228 @GTeaman @AesPolitics1 Interest rates went astronomical under Reagan and caused a recession. Reagan was one of the worst presidents of the 20th Century.

@BleedingHartL1b @GTeaman @AesPolitics1 There was a severe recession before Reagans policies took hold. Very early in his Presidency. After that there was only a couple months of mild recession for the next 18 years.

@MatrixMysteries Yep. A scam the Republicans perpetrate every day. We need Student debt forgiveness now.

An American checks her student loans. She borrowed $49,548.74. After 120 payments, she’s paid $25,558.36. Her current balance? $50,121.33. After paying $25k… she now owes MORE than she originally borrowed. This isn’t aid — it’s a SCAM.

@zicomiles @TheRabbitHole Many women are enslaved for sexual exploitation world wide today. Until is solved, you can only pretend that slavery has been abolished.

@TheRabbitHole So no specific civilization should claim they single handedly abolished slavery, it was a universal collective effort .

Thomas Sowell points out that slavery was a universal evil rather than something local to any specific civilization.

@DarthIxion @lady_valor_07 They had plastic bags to piss and shit in. There was no "Shitter" back then.

@lady_valor_07 In 1969 the shitter was working so they could break orbit on time 🤣

You have to admit it’s a good question.

@lady_valor_07 They spent more time in Earth Orbit testing all the maneuvers they would need to do to survive and complete the mission profile. Only after those tests did they go for Lunar Insertion.
