This guy is just a pump and dump king. All his businesses are built on getting huge investments based on fantastical claims that earth-shattering advancements are just around the corner so everyone has to get in now. Then they don’t happen,

Elon Musk must create a new scandal every day; it’s the source of his power, or something. I mean, this is the only way I can possibly justify this man’s actions. It’s like he wakes up in the morning and thinks, “What course of action can o

In South Scotland I found it was almost always just “div” and proceeded by a pointed swear such as “fucking div”. Divvy meant dividend! The thing the co-op used to give you for shopping there and old ladies used to obsess over. Come to thin

You’re getting a lot of scared artistic people right now lashing their jobs disappearing. I genuinely can’t blame them.. I’d probably do the same, and let’s keep in mind, A lot of these people weren’t doing particularly well up to this poin

amazingly accurate. Hard to believe anyone could’ve gotten so much so right with only small details missing a little, not feasible or existing in some way, though just to humble him a bit please keep in mind he did predict we’d have gorilla

i’m a bit lost. I think I get what it does but what’s it for? I’ve never had the need to convert a tag to a hash and that hash to a tag.

What’s the argument here exactly? Wealthy people’s misfortune isn’t worthy of our attention? Should the US cease reporting on itself as it is a wealth nation and a much better state than many others? Who is this “we”? The rest of the world

i’ll make that annoying comment: perhaps people who consume a lot of sweetened foods are also sort of people who have bad diets, regardless of whether artificial or real sweetness. Not a hard thing to believe. all the article says is artifi

I think it’s just a way to stop the reporting of an event turning the event into an opportunity for people to gain media coverage and propel their careers, or their interests that may not be related to the discussion at hand. Public debates

Well, there is a matter of safety, and not wanting to be harassed for your opinions. Some debates are so heated that an opinion stated either way is going to expose you to potential violence if not, just verbal abuse through various channel

Copilot is quite good at inferring functionality from comments in code. At least this is what I found. If you break down your function, or whatever it is you are great at making, into steps or sub-processes with comments outlining what each

The author mocks comparative advantage as an argument for free trade, suggesting it doesn’t work. They specifically point out it was supposed to let the other countries do the low-skilled work while America focused on high-skilled stuff and

I had no idea this is up for debate. I guess as a European I had a very biased education about this.I I remember it being presented as a sort of joke by the history teacher that Columbus brought back lots of things from the Americas that wi

I believe we could already have replaced many doctors with automated systems,or at least systems operated by considerably lower-paid and lower-skilled people. The issue isn’t that we couldn’t before; it’s that having a human as our go-to f

I feel it must fall at some point (I’m not sure I’m comfortable saying it’s a bubble tbh so I’ll stick with ‘fall’, not ‘pop’) but I’m not going to bet as to when. I thought the market would turn back in 2018 when my 401k was getting 25% g

In addition to that they say the future will require huge investment in capital assets and broad investment strategies won't cut anymore. Hum, so they think the future will be all growth with no losses, need significantly more capital,

I just don't understand why you'd choose Bitcoin over gold. Gold, like Bitcoin, was criticized for just being a stupid store of value, but that wasn't completely true as it undoubtedly had some utility in the economy. Worst c

I'm going to guess there's just a long stagnation. LLMs worked way better than people thought they would. Most of the experts in AI were floored by how well they worked. I think of LLMs as more of a discovery than an invention. We

Given its long half life doesn’t this mean the power output also very small? Like, what could we power with a kg of carbon 14? My guess is barely enough to light up an LED though. Given that they do not state the power output in the article

Just go try on a “medium” sized shirt in America and see how far this has went. You can be obese and still find it roomy. I’m 5’ 11” 175lb and I need to dress in small and occasionally extra-small items of clothing. How the hell is someone

I think this really cool that this is public. I find it interesting how governments even make politeness and interaction into a systematic rule-based affair. While it can seem quite cold, i like how organized and planned it is... like nothi

Really depends on the country (I did my PhD in the UK), but I don't know of any PhD student writing grants, and TAing doesn't generally take up more than a day a week (I think I did no more than a couple of hours a week). In the U

I'm sorry, but decentralized local, distributed (bla bla, web 3.0, blockchain, bla) internet services are just tried, tested, and shit ideas. These things really offer so little improvement at all to most end-users. It's something

Just seems like a pointless intermediate power broken, which, ironically, also needs to be held accountable. If I gift my vote to an interest group and I trust them to use the power I have, in part, given them to hold politicians to account

I like to think of it this way: we all have freedom of speech, but don’t we also have the freedom not to listen to it? People think their freedom of speech is diminished in cases where the reality is the audience doesn’t care for it and rem
