“gluten for punishment”, thanks autocorrect for another genius coinage

They ended up losing to Google on touch screens, but this seems like way more of a problem.

This is why I never made a Facebook account, seemed pretty clear to me.

Why is she looking smug

All the Elon books and profiles love to fluff Elon about how he always holds things to the raw physics and makes sure the math works.

Either that was BS or he needs to find a different cereal from Special K.

This is so stupid

LLMs do better with more compute, but it’s logarithmic.

They raced up the soft part of the curve, thinking it was the start of an exponential.

I think that’s the core issue; they bet a trillion dollars expecting compounding returns, and got diminishing ones.

If I were an employee/shareholder, I’d have been happy to hear the first part of his message (“oh good he finally gets it”) and then miserable again when he says he does believe the singularity will happen, just in 3-6 months.

This is all part of technology enclosure.

The goal is that you will only be able to use technology in the service of the oligarchy.

Take care of your old systems with unlocked motherboards, you’ll need them.

We shouldn’t over index on it, but I imagine it is a decent indicator for fall risk.

I heard about the study a couple of years ago and thought “I wonder whether I can do that”, lay down on my back and thought “how the hell would I stand up without using my hands?”

And my body just started doing shit, I learned that I could do it because my body just did it and I was kind of along for the ride.

It was a fun experience.

Youtube supporting zionist violence? Shocked.

Oh my, just wait until you learn what Facebook and Google do…

I would not be surprised in the slightest.

IRC is still around. Usenet is still around.

There’s no Google management team or Zuckerberg to pull the plug.

Lemmy can keep going indefinitely.

There’s no way to follow a hash tag in the android app. That makes it pretty pointless imo.

Betteridge’s Law applies here.

As long at it wasn’t even more destructive than normal cultivation (very much tbd), absolutely.

I had no qualms about switching to Beyond Meat either.

If we could figure out how to make a decent ribeye out of peas and seed oils, I’d prefer that to lab-grown too.

Everbody is collapsing into their lower back and would be way imbalanced in real life. Running would be painful with that posture.

Yeah I just wanted to play the arena combat.

I wanted to buy a $40 deck builder game with cool IP, they wanted to sell me a $70 AAA production with a bunch of external stuff that I found pretty boring.

I ended up not buying.

I think in the second half you’re asking whether butches are more likely to be toppy and femmes are more likely to be bottomy.

I think there’s probably some positive correlation there but butchness and toppiness are distinct concepts.
