I mean who knows where it will end up by the end of the year. Meme-stock-hype train could continue or it could reasonably crash far further back down to earth.

They have no ground to make up on AI, and changing their operating system to center on AI would piss off every iPhone user I know outside of tech, and probably half of them within tech.

Gosh, it's hard figuring out what changes Lorne made if only we had a system to merge those changes. Enter git

Gosh it's hard figuring out what packages Rachel had to make this work. Enter rubygems/pip/npm

Gosh it's hard figuring out sync these changes across a network. Enter github

Gosh it's hard figuring out how to get those packages working on my operating system. Enter docker

Gosh centralizing our distributed version control software system onto one website is getting really unreliable. Enter fossil(?????)

If we go any further having one computer per business with a sign up sheep is starting to sound pretty fucking attractive.

Since no matter how much power they have they won't behave good let's go ahead and regulate the shit out of them and tear them into tiny mangable pieces.

If we had a thousand different smaller federated platforms it would be harder for governments to impose rules on them anyways.

30%+ reduction from 10 hours a week of exercise sounds ideal, but 9% isn't nothing.

The housing market was unsustainable for a long time and went even further up before it crashed. The smart people who called that have lost a lot of money making reasonable bets against things which should have crashed.

The difference now is rich people have positively stupid amounts of money to keep stupid things going for even stupidly longer periods of time.

The coyote is already running beyond the cliff so indoctrinating kids won't save them from an AI winter 6-18 months away.

valued at --which I'd say is a reasonable distinction to make right about now

The problem is over optimization AND lack of people. As soon as there's an excuse for less staff because we have "digital record keeping" we're going to have less money and even less staff.

Having in person or remote notetakers is a great entry level job to do before you become a doctor. It could be boring but at least the terms are familiar and you get to know the person you're working with.

It's not like healthcare is an impossible problem to solve that needs more tech, we just refuse to spend money on people and (inexplicably) cannot help but dump tons of money into tech.

At some point the level of detail is utter garbo and always will be. An artist who was thoughtful could have some mistakes but someone who put that much time into a drawing wouldn't have:

- Nightmarish screaming faces on most people

- A sign that points seemingly both directions, or the incorrect one for a lake and a first AID tent that doesn't exist

- A dog in bottom left and near lake which looks like some sort of fuzzy monstrosity...

It looks SO impressive before you try to take in any detail. The hand selected images for the preview have the same shit. The view of musculature has a sternocleidomastoid with no clavicle attachment. The periodic table seems good until you take a look at the metals...

We're reconfiguring all of our RAM & GPUs and wasting so much water and electricity for crappier where's Waldos??

I doubt the revolutionaries sympathizers within Iran liked their children being murdered or infrastructure getting destroyed. All the US has done is a repeat of the same thing they've done for half a century: start a war and immediately get more enemies within the middle east. Perhaps the only change is now the US's allies are distancing themselves faster and further than ever before.

Because it has no way of achieving its objectives.

Vibe-wise they all feel closer to Raytheon and I sure as fuck wouldn't want to see an attempt at a whimsical joke from Raytheon.
