Don’t forget the mandatory 5 minutes fiddling with the thing before the one kid with half a brain figures out how to switch inputs.

The stinky blue button is working again!

Right there with you. Not that great in my field. Got headhunted, 50% raise, company is only able to hire talented people (and they need them) by out-paying competitors. All contractors, vendors, partners are the same. We are definitely high-tech. Been hearing about this “recession” for nearly two years now. Just smells like media trying to create one.

How do you define “capital”? I own a paid-off vehicle. That’s my biggest single asset. Am I therefore evil? It’s parked in the garage of this home I rent. Used car market right now means it’s worth a bit more than it would be otherwise.

Oh, and I’m also a shareholder in my employer. Gasp!

All this talk is highly dangerous us-vs-them, black-and-white divisive crap that isn’t going to go anywhere productive. Stop it. Grow up.

You’ve also taken that starter home off the market, preventing someone else from being able to own a home and follow your path to ownership of a forever-property.

If it’s not unethical at one rental property, when is it? Two? Three? Five?

A lot? A lot?

That’s capitalist talk!

NPR doesn’t produce inflammatory, biased news and clickbait headlines, so this is not surprising in the least.

Preach, brother! I hammered in five crooked nails, slapped primerless paint on a whole door, and only jacked the rent $250 this week. The plebs don’t know how good they have it.

You’d think so, GameOfThronesFinale.

Definitely. I have experimented with image generation on my own mid-range RX GPU and though it was slow, it worked. I have not tried the latest driver update that’s supposed to accelerate those tools dramatically, but local AI workstations with dedicated silicon are the future. CPU, GPU, AIPU?

The current breed of generative “AI” won’t ‘die out’. It’s here to stay. We are just in the early Wild-West days of it, where everyone’s rushing to grab a piece of the pie, but the shine is starting to wear off and the hype is juuuuust past its peak.

What you’ll see soon is the “enshittification” of services like ChatGPT as the financial reckoning comes, startup variants shut down by the truckload, and the big names put more and more features behind paywalls. We’ve gone past the “just make it work” phase, now we are moving into the “just make it sustainable/profitable” phase.

In a few generations of chips, the silicon will have made progress in catching up with the compute workload, and cost per task will drop. That’s the innovation to watch out for now, who will de-throne Nvidia and its H100?

Nah, it’s Gilead.

I fail to see how someone can understand the aircraft parts industry enough to enter it and become a supplier, and at the same time believe you can get away with forging certifications.

Uh huh, and how many of these “sold” vehicles are on roads as opposed to sitting in a field somewhere.

I’ve been reading more books.

Welcome to modern “journalism”.

Oh here we fucking go again.

Ten thousand “studies show” articles will be published.

Antivaxx idiots will continue ignoring every single one because “it’s what THEY want you to think”

Pets will get sick and die early.

Facebook groups will pop up and swell with idiots and their stories and bullshit information, because no real consequences.

Can we just ignore this one?

Making $600 million over the course of a decade.

Aside from “beardless Riker” I cannot think of a truly unique or memorable moment from that movie that really stands out from the rest of TNG.

Hell even beardless Riker in a way just harkens back to Season 1.
