Hey Bob... Electric cars will be a memory very soon. It never worked over 100 years ago, it will not work today. The pitfalls, lack of resale value due to unknown life left of batteries, inadequate performance, limited range, temperature sensitive & affected, degradation of batteries by time, cost of repairs which exceed the value of the entire vehicle, poor durability, and not to mention risk of plasma fires and explosions will seal its fate. Elon Musk stole your tax dollars. Obama gave him $Billions of your taxes on the scam. And the genuine Elon is long gone. Just a tidbit so you know. No different than Joe Biten who is an impostor. Multiple ones though. Two names that play him in a mask are Arthur Roberts and the other is Struan Rogers. That is disclosure and not hearsay. 100% true and at one time classified. Look up the meaning of disclosure people. Cheers Bob and stay away from EV's and their stocks.

I was having a conversation with my wife, and somehow the subject turned to technology.

Awww we are just regurgitating old technology.

Fiber optics, I learned about it and how it works when I was 12 (invented in Canada obviously)

I had for Christmas on year an electronics set, I created a solar powered radio in the 1970's

I remember commercials in the 70's for CanDo nuclear reactors. Why they were promoting this during a kids show is really a mystery. Did they think a kid would buy one? (I suppose I might have if my 25 cents allowance could afford it)

Then we move on a few years, I'm at college, I have this small black and white TV and a coat hanger for an antenna. Ok, a bit of snow in the image, but easy enough to see and follow the story.

Move on a few years later, I'm in France, they are digitizing the TV transmissions, gotta buy a decoder.

Move on a few more years and now, your decoder is shit because they have moved on to High def transmissions and the decoder is useless and pretty much your TV. Need a new decoder and TV.

Then comes the generation of smart TVs, rendering your new/old TV obsolete.

Then you have all this new crap when you were quite happy with the old crap, and one day you want to watch on of your favorite films of all time that you have on video cassette... AND... no way to do it, The TV is so sophisticated that a slightly bad signal from an old video isn't tolerated. I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE IMAGE QUALITY? I JUST WANT TO WATCH THE DAMN FILM!!!

Maybe It's just me

damn, gotta clean my puter skeen now

Sorry, I'll send you some screen wipes..

[Buckey]

yeah I was Tempted LOL at 5.10 4.60 and 3.75. Like putting a cold beer in front of me on the beach in the dominican at 9:30 am. I shouldn't be tempted but I was - every day for 7 days. That isnt on me - in both cases the stocks and the beer it was the devile that made me do it

[Wayne R]

Wowsers. IZM, tempting to buy a few

[Buckey]

thanks on iZM quite a mess

I can't believe we have been sitting on this technology for years and never saw this opportunity!

We have a major breakthrough with SPARC AI. The SPARC AI patented algorithms can be used as an internal on-board navigation system for autonomous drones.

The SPARC records the Location Points (Px) of a drone’s flight path. The drone can use these Location Points to find the shortest path back to base or fly direct to any Location Point using the SPARC reverse lookup algorithm.

Drones can also use the SPARC virtual triangulation algorithm to create an accurate flight path to a Location Point or any other points of interest.

Eliminating the need for GPS, satellite, lidar or image recognition technology is a major differentiator and game changer.

It almost looks like a nighttime image of the moon

Exactly my first thought lol

[ottoman]

Awesome! I think the clouds add another dimension to the photo. It almost looks like a nighttime image of the moon, but you can see blue sky breaking through the clouds.

Cloudy day for me, but did get a semi transparent break once to take this pic:

Mr. Anoosh Manzoori reports

SPARC AI COMPLETES A MAJOR MILESTONE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MOBILE APPLICATION

Sparc AI Inc. has provided an update on operations.

The productization of the Sparc AI (artificial intelligence) intellectual property is progressing. During the past month, the company completed the following development.

Mobile application implementation: A mobile application with essential camera functionality has been developed, enabling orientation toward points of interest and data retrieval. Features for capturing location data, including location, heading and tilt retrieval, have been implemented.

The development team is currently undertaking extensive testing. A process of fine-tuning the algorithms involves iterative steps, where the set-up is carefully configured to simulate real-world scenarios, particularly those involving heights. This iterative approach is necessary to ensure that the algorithms perform optimally under varying conditions and heights. However, due to the complexity of the algorithms and the iterative nature of the fine-tuning process, it is inherently time consuming. Each iteration involves adjustments, testing and analysis to gauge the algorithm's performance accurately. This meticulous approach is essential to achieving the desired accuracy and reliability in distance calculation and other functionalities.

Core library development: Progress is being made in developing a core library in Python, facilitating third party integration for seamless incorporation into devices such as drones and cameras. This library enables communication between the mobile application and external devices, enhancing data transmission and interaction. Fine-tuning of the core library is continuing to improve accuracy in distance calculation.

Firmware environment set-up: The development is working on the integration into the Sparc AI microchip. Utilizing the Debian Linux-based operating system named Mendel for Coral development boards ensures efficient running of Sparc AI algorithms. Compatible operating systems for chosen hardware platforms are being selected to optimize system performance.

Interface development: The company is working on establishing a robust serial communication interface to acquire camera feeds from various external third party devices. This interface acts as a vital bridge, enabling the transfer of raw camera data to be processed by microchips for precise distance and location approximation.

Sparc AI is also expecting to take delivery of the Coral microchip boards and Accelerator boards in the next couple of weeks.

The company looks forward to providing further updates to the market, including a demonstration of the Sparc mobile app.

R.I.P. O.J. Simpson, in memory of…

[100lbStriper]

then we got something in common. i lost the use of my index finger in 09. strengthen up and establish coordindation in the other 3. do that and you'll be able to make music again. that is if you desire to play again, making music that is. fuck other peoples stuff. sure i still dig their songs but i cant play them anymore. alls it is is rewiring your brain and muscle memory. ever listen to Django Reinhardt ? pretty bad ass for 2 fingers......

point is, if theres a will theres a way.

how bout playing slide ? just a thought.......

i play every day. whether its 5 minutes or 8 hours. for me its therapeutic and sometimes way better than when i was hammering out covers. try it, if you used to play the songs you mentioned. you'll amaze yourself with your own compilations and once the light bulb goes on and you impress yourself thats all that will ever count.

peace............

[Wayne R]

yea, between 35 and 40 years ago I was getting pretty good at Heart of Gold, The Needle and the Damage Done, and a couple Dylan songs, then crushed my index finger.

Sort of put a stop to it.

its all physics man !!! at least he liked the rev willy guitar strings for his first post on the hub, lol !!!. speaking of which, did you ever pick up a guitar to start your learning experience ?

How do airplanes manage to stay up in the sky even though they're so heavy? also with the ships

Because they don't exist!!

Just more fake news

Still far better than anything I saw here in Florida...😏 Thanks!

Still great pics…

Any eclipse photos? I got a few crude images with my vintage camcorder. I held the eclipse glasses to the lens lol
it wasn't a total solar eclipse here, but it was still fun.

ha! that's a crazy story. Politicians are the same all over the world.

The cops found 100 kilos of cannabis in the house of the mayor of Lyon (3rd or 4th largest city in France)

Now there is an investigation open to figure out if the Mayor knew the drugs were there.

I suppose that leaves 2 questions

1. Why'd they look in the first place?

2. How can anyone not know that they have 100 kilos of cannabis stashed in the garage?

I spent the afternoon searching every corner of my house in the off chance I have a secret stash that I forgot about....

I can't recall settlement date ever being a problem.

Only very early in my trading career did T + 3 ever rear its ugly head. I'd get to day-trading and occasionally make so many trades that I got a brokerage call (Scottrade) a couple of times for not having sufficient funds cause my previous trades hadn't had time to clear yet...

Yes, raising my account balance and applying for margin privileges was the solution.

Live and learn 😏

[Wayne R]

Seems obvious to some, I know. But to me, I originally assumed (that's on me I know)
same or one day clearing.

Other than forward or reverse splits, I can't recall settlement date ever being a problem.

[Wayne R]

Looks like crap, I'll pass

I saw that- Schwab sent it in an email. Caught me by surprise.

Maybe it's just me, but, the title is misleading imo 🙄. I had to read twice-
It's not simply "shortened to one day". It's still "T" + 1

Seems obvious to some, I know. But to me, I originally assumed (that's on me I know)
same or one day clearing.

[ottoman]

The trade settlement period will be shortened to one day beginning May 28, 2024

Debt up to another record of $20.5 trillion! That is the headline.

They always seem to leave out the assets/equity part. That past was up $4 trillion in Q4 to a record net worth of $156 trillion in Q4.

In '23, assets up 7.4% and liabilities up 2.8%.

This isn't bearish. pic.twitter.com/FaMZNzMr57

complainers have no idea what they are seeing.

An album cover voted as one of the worst in history.

It takes real telent to get that honor...

[SSP]

lol

[SSP]

I have no issues with Kinks album covers, complainers have no idea what they are seeing.

[Theo]

Then it was clear.

😇

[Wayne R]

To be honest, I never really gave it any thought until the day you asked me.

Then it was clear.

[Theo]

You STILL catching flak for the Kink's siggy??🙄

I'm surprised mine never raised an eyebrow...

Then again, I'm sure it has gone over a few peeps heads😆

[Wayne R]

Well there was sun, and it was warm.

Basically it is the same as you flying to Florida for a week of holidays, although I think it cost me less to go there (canaries), from here

[ottoman]

Wow Wayne, Great story! what an awesome guy. I can't imagine seeing what he has seen. So admirable that he adopts handicapped orphaned children from the Red Cross. Makes me feel that much more of a 💩. I'll have to try and remember stories like this when I'm all upset that I lost xxx dollars in the stock market, or get a flat tire etc. Puts things into perspective.

Hope the entire trip was relaxing, enjoyable for you! 👍️

[Wayne R]

Do you prefer the Kinks siggy, or this new one.

IHUB gets lots of complaints about the Kinks album cover, but they can't really do anything about it.
