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 c…

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 wake…

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 sho…

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 …

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 hi…

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 stat…

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.…

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 …

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 potentia…

AI-generated porn feed. Photo-realistic, high-quality images. It would change what is generated based on my tastes either through me liking or disliking certain content, my engagem…

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, i…

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-…

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 Co…

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 …

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 ma…

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 …

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 undoubt…

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…

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. …

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 occasion…

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 quit…

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 di…
