aesthelete@lemmy.worldtoShowerthoughts@lemmy.world•When Xfinity has an outage, I don’t pay for those days. The government’s been shut down for 39 days so can I pay 39 days less in taxes?
15·2 days agoIt is being run like a business: poorly. Exactly how most businesses run.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I get a lot of ideas in the shower. Do any of you use any kind of waterproof note taking pad and pen so you can catch those ideas before they vanish in the steam?
21·2 days agoYou could try remembering things. Might be good practice.
I mean, we’re not exactly talking about a dream upon waking here…and you can remember those too with practice.

Games@lemmy.world•What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype?English
3·2 days agoAll of the games you listed here were pretty under hyped IMO except for perhaps Silksong.
I understand this is all subjective, but I think you’re leaning toward like indie gaming hipster material with this comment…and that’s my opinion.

Linux@lemmy.world•Does Terminal use actually make sense in the real world?English
5·2 days agoUnless we’re in a simulation, very yes.
Normal people don’t seem to realize this but the reason developers swarmed to Mac OS X over Windows when given a choice for work laptops is that Mac OS X has a built-in POSIX shell.
CLI is and will always be more expressive than a GUI. Some “web apps” have even tacitly acknowledged this by adding terminal emulators to their web apps.

Technology@lemmy.world•The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble PopsEnglish
2·4 days agoAnd if AI is going to be the last straw, how long can we put it off for? Could it pop next year or can we still hold it off for another decade with even more ludicrous number-fuckery? I think that’s where the trick is going to be.
The thing that boggles my mind in all of this is the possibility that Trump installs some absolute toady tool bag in at the Fed and then just has the federal reserve bail out all of the bad investments. It’d mean probably hyperinflation, but who cares about normal shmucks trying to live a life? It’s much more important to pay the genius, scammy billionaires so they can keep their mega yachts fully gassed and assed.

Technology@lemmy.world•The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble PopsEnglish
3·4 days agoI remember the news reporting about record breaking amounts of mortgage defaults in like 2007 as well. The signs were all there, but people were too oblivious or high on their own supply of farts to see them.
Anytime people are like “we couldn’t see this coming” I never understand why they are allowed to pass that obvious lie off in public.
The AI bubble signs are in plain view everywhere you look right now. If (or much more likely when) it bursts everyone will be talking about how they couldn’t possibly see it coming again.
If people say they couldn’t see this shit coming, maybe their myopic asses shouldn’t be in charge of anything important ever again.

Technology@lemmy.world•China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUsEnglish
1·9 days agoYeah, I get very good sound out of class d amplifiers. They’re cheap; they’re energy efficient, and they usually pack in features for digital formats because it’s easy to do.
The US has almost no freedom of choice when it comes to some things, and transit is definitely one of those things. Sure, I can move to the desert, the beach, the forest, the city, or the country, but the only thing I’ll find in any of those places are cars, cars, and more cars. Even the cars themselves are starting to become choiceless with increasingly the only options to choose from being either trucks or SUVs.
America is the home of a choiceless and meaningless variety.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Waymo CEO Says Society Is Ready for One of Its Cars to Kill SomeoneEnglish
42·10 days agoIf a robotic taxi can lower the taxi category of accidents by 91% across the board, including death rates, then that’s a positive improvement to society any way you slice it.
The “if” in this sentence is a load bearing word.
With today’s crew running the policy, I don’t think anyone will prevent corporations from unleashing completely unsafe robotic taxis on the public that’ll perform well worse than regular ones. I really wish people would stop making this argument to the corporation’s benefit until we have some data backing it up.
I get that there’s a theoretical possibility that still imperfect robotic taxis could outperform humans, but that’s just theoretical.
With the way corporate accountability is handled (i.e., corporations aren’t held accountable) nowadays, I just don’t see robotic taxis as much more than an accountability sink and at this point I’d prefer taking regular taxis because at least there is someone to fucking hold accountable when things go wrong.

I 100%d sable and only found it mildly frustrating in certain parts. Pretty good game overall.
I wish there were more games like it where you could just enjoy the world instead of it being all about some missions.




Both have the potential to fail tragically. Some forms of fascism are libertarianism being attempted and failing.
