In the first comparison of Genie 3 to Genie 4 it seems that:

- in Genie 4 the character's suit stopped making sense in the back where it now has a weird fold?

- the controls don't control the character even anymore as now its controlling some kid-height character in first person instead?

- Everything looks like Unreal Engine.

This does not look good.

It won't even have a camera. Could just infer from location, time, and orientation data.

No, its about (de-)bayering. It's before the concept of multi-color 'pixels'.

That used to be the idea but high voltage DC lines are now more efficient than ac

There were non-apple lightning cables already.

And I have to say, the lightning connector itself is better than the usb-c connect in my opinion. I get that having the pins on the male* plug is a theoretical advantage in durability but that has not been my experience with usb-c connector durability on either end.

EDIT: usb-c has pins on the male plug. Which is what I meant. So female -> male.

I wonder if gamma ray memory corruption will induce a sort of mutation and selection effect on non-ecc-memory hosts which will make the worms effectively evolve.

The SpaceX S-1 contradicts your claim by including an optimistic "TAA" (total addressable market) figure for "the space industry". Which falls heavily short of your claim. While the SpaceX claimed total TTA is mostly (like 80%) AI-powered "enterprise applications" which don't exist and are not related to space data centers or whatever.

How is this even debatable.

I mean, look at ycombinator's latest "call for startups". Its honestly mind-boggling. Couple years ago I used to look at like every 6 months to see where venture interests lie. But now, on every "industry", its just "use ai to make more money in [industry]". The most egregious of them is the call for the "1 person unicorn" company that they believe can exist and somehow that's a call for a startup. Like, "We want to invest in companies that make a bunch of money for us". Yea, very insightful.

How is django performance these days? I remember the average latencies(100ms+) for even simple things being a non-starter for me.

What this is saying is again, that MCP is not a protocol. Which is the point of MCP, making it essentially worthless because it doesn't define actual behavioral rules, it can only describe existing rules informally.

This is because defining a formal system, that can do everything MCP promises to enable, is a logical impossibility.
