Well that sucks. Harris winning would have been nice.

Steve Bannon isn't calling Musk "racist" as much as he's saying Musk's the wrong type of racist. I hope these two feud for a long time.

Wilhelm scream. It's in everything. It's memorable in Star Wars and Indiana Jones, but it's in Soul Plane too.

I've watched far too many hours of sitcoms, because I'm recognizing a specific laugh that gets re-used over and over. It's by far the worst on How I Met Your Mother (where I first noticed it). They'll repeat the same laugh 2-3 times within the same episode. It's a specific high-pitched laugh that almost sounds like the person is inhaling while laughing rather than exhaling. HIMYM doesn't use a live audience so they re-use the same laughs for the entire run of the show.

I'm worried their operating costs are higher than they admit. They keep dumbing down the AI to make it use less energy. Right now it's a free product that uses a crazy high amount of electricity. They don't seem all that close to profitability.

That's the best case scenario. I'm imagining something more like Enron or Bernie Madoff - losing all value at once when people realized it was a ponzi scheme.

The AI bubble burst is gonna wreck the market and send us into another recession. Especially if the crypto bubble bursts at a similar time.

Reminds me of when my ISP who was "no contract" had a cancellation fee. Like I have to pay money to stop being billed? Something about that feels very backwards.

He's lost over $10 grand for every thousand miles he's driven. Or you could express that as $5 grand per month he's owned it. Might even be worse depending on his financing.

I guess this is another reminder that brand new cars can depreciate hard. Absolutely terrible way to rent a car for 8 months.

Honestly makes a lot of sense. The ink probably turns into a solid at too low of a temp.

Ian McKellen died filming this scene. That's why he's not in the rest of the movie. But they'd already filmed him in the next 2 movies, so they CGI'd his clothes white and said he came back to life.

It's obviously too early to say the motive with 100% accuracy. But based on the timing of the event, and the Trump/Musk connection. It would seem like a Trump supporter who felt betrayed about the H1B visa thing.

Looks like a political statement.

The party super concerned about the debt is also the one who wants to defund their only source of income. Brilliant.

USB micro (not sure if you're getting micro confused with mini, but doesn't really matter) only supported data transfer, not video transfer (like HDMI). Some USB-C ports are data only, but it theoretically supports more than USB micro was ever capable of.

For example you can buy a USB-C to HDMI cable for a few dollars, which could theoretically plug your phone directly into your TV (if your phone supports that). But a USB micro to HDMI cable was called an "MHL adapter" and was expensive and only worked on specific MHL capable phones like this one. It has a separate box that requires its own power cord in order to work, it's not just a simple cable. USB-C should, in theory, eliminate the need for such a thing.

He followed a reporter back to the news station and strangled him in front of the building with witnesses. Bizarre to call that "suspicion of bias-motivated crimes."

a series of switches is not ever going to create a sentient being

Is the goal to create a sentient being, or to create something that seems sentient? How would you even tell the difference (assuming it could pass any test a normal human could)?

I heard Facebook is spent tons of money to combat election misinformation in 2016 and 2020 and I heard the same story again in 2024. The problem is solved right?

As a depressed 16 year old boy I received a self help book from my mother. I was offended. Never opened the book. Like in hindsight I guess she thought I needed help and the book would somehow do that, but all I saw was that my mother thought something was wrong with me.

AI is just a plagiarism machine with thousands of copyrighted materials that "trained" it, which they paid nothing for.

I'd love single payer healthcare, but it would cost like 1000x more than this.
