Wasn’t that 2022?

Though is that comparison corrected for the projection? Texas is farther south than Siberia and with the usual projection used, you can only compare the sizes of things at the same latitude. It’s the same thing that makes Greenland look as big as Africa when it’s closer to the size of South Africa.

Remember that the big bubbles that popped in the last quarter century or so were based on the internet and housing, both very real and useful things that became a bubble because investors bet way too much speculating on them, including leveraging the rest of the economy for those bets.

Edit: Forgot my point, but even if AI is valuable for the future (which I’d agree with for AI in general but I’m still skeptical about LLMs getting there), it doesn’t mean it can’t currently be in a bubble.

Also, the dotcom bubble took out companies that were making real money doing real things right then because they started accepting IOUs instead of money, and did their own leveraging to the point where they couldn’t afford to not get their IOUs paid back, which they weren’t when the companies they got the IOUs from went under.

Nvidia seems to have about 50 billion in debt and 10 billion in cash. I didn’t look at the breakdowns of when that debt is due, but it’s possible the AI bubble might put them into bankruptcy, especially if their credit rating goes down and they have trouble refinancing.

What’s the problem with it, exactly? As long as it lives up to its promise and is a better machine, why shouldn’t they market it as a better machine or make direct comparisons?

It’s not even saying the steam one is bad, just that it is better.

That quick temperature change sounds like a double edged sword to me, as a thicker base means it can hold its temperature as you add cold/wet food, which might result in steaming food instead of frying/sautéing.

On that note, temperature control also helps making cleaning easier. If your oil is heated before you add the food, the food will tend to not stick as much (though there’s a bunch of other factors at play, so I still get use out of my scouring pad).

find -name “*.txt”

Iirc. Though it might want a regular expression instead of a wildcard.

I’m pretty sure that’s what I’ll have to do as I can clean but I have trouble maintaining. Plus I have too much stuff for the space I have, so I’ll need a place for my stuff anyways.

That’s why I like stainless steel cookware. If there’s a tough mess stuck to them, I just switch from my usual sponge to the stainless steel scouring pad and wear it back down to the metal.

Can do similar with cast iron, but it can turn into more work if you need to reseason it.

Lmao at that subscription model they have. They offer 2 subscriptions for more than twice the price if a single one for “serious investors”.

I gotta say that this collection of stories plus all the others is starting to feel less like power mods with vendettas and more like a large scale astroturfing campaign intended to weed out people capable of using logic and/or bridging the gap in the various manufactured (or falsely amplified) conflicts dividing people for no good reason.

It’s especially weird how many feature “argued about it for 3 messages then admin banned for harassment”, especially since reddit’s mod problem isn’t exactly a secret and they’d be even more aware of it with the full visibility they have and you’d figure they’d want to address it if they were operating on good faith.

Was it even that or just a hash of the url (or whatever text/data was being “confirmed”)?

Yeah iirc they engaged several fishing fleets in the Atlantic (or seas coming off the Atlantic), thinking they were Japanese torpedo boats, and at best tied because while they did sink/damage some of the fishing boats, they also damaged several of their own ships.

The people doing them accept the risks. This one is particularly stupid, as at least four people all failed to notice something very important, but the majority of people who do pointless dangerous shit survive it and go on to do other pointless dangerous shit because they enjoy it.

I’d like to see an end to people trying to control others to save them from their own choices. Everyone dies eventually and I won’t choose to live in a padded room to put that off slightly.

Looks up Here in the map index… D3 sees this side of the map starts at 13, flips map over, finds D and 3, looks up and slams on brakes before rear ending an even more lost pedestrian.

“You should watch where you’re driving,” my passenger says before their eyes return to their phone.

Honks horn, pedestrian is startled out of examining their map, gives a sheepish wave of apology and speeds off. Return to map, notice there’s a big traffic jam on the intended route, turn down a side street instead, thanking map for helping.

Yeah, personally, I’ve noticed that I notice and appreciate very high quality streams when they are there but don’t notice lower quality ones in a bad way (where “lower quality” is still like 1080p, 720p is more noticeable).

Like 4k looks great but 1080p still looks normal.

Or just do it like reddit did, where you can delete your post content and remove your username from it, but the thread and comments remain.

Though with how the fediverse works, it’s possible to spin up a custom instance that highlights deleted content instead of deleting it, meaning the attempt to get rid of it can be what brings it more attention if anyone has decided to do it. Just like with vote identities, they aren’t anonymous and there are instances/sites that just show who voted for what.

I’m still undecided about their own text (deleting comments or post text disrupts the conversation but there’s valid reasons), but I don’t think the OP of a thread should have any control over the existence of that full comment thread.

Frankly, I don’t think users should have that power.

Somewhere between 50 and 60, I think.

Might be because hotels are saying there aren’t bookings, making it easier to see that demand isn’t involved in setting the prices.
