https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trumpism 3rd sentence. I guess take it up with the "fascists" who wrote the article? lol

Don't come to me if you weren't aware that populism is a left/right spectrum.

Trump is a populist. He supports tariffs for the exact same reason Bernie Sanders does. There is a reason so many bernie bros jumped to camp Trump in 2016 when (globalist) Hillary …

> Gamblers are seeking a different thrill from what financial markets are designed to provide. I'd almost agree if the volume on $SPY zero day options wasn't so immense.

Most people seem totally unaware that Bernie Sanders was (and probably secretly still is) a big proponent of tariffs. Horseshoe theory and all that, populists gonna populist.

Unless one of the open model labs has a breakthrough, they will always lag. Their main trick is distilling the SOTA models. People talk about these models like they are "catching u…

This is great on paper until some jackass wants to access their home NAS over the public frequency range so they can watch anime all day at their desk, which only works when they u…

40-50% of people are ad-blocking some rather beloved content creators. That means, not paying for premium, and not viewing ads. Ok, so maybe they are suscribing to patreon? Maybe N…

This is great, but it misses one thing: The software paradigm is changing. People don't need a calculator website anymore. They can just prompt their own AI account to generate wha…

Using an ad blocker just shifts the cost of creating/providing content onto people not using ad blockers. The enshitification of the internet is largely driven by people ad blockin…

I'd imagine more than a few basement dwellers could as well.

Perennial doesn't make sense in the context of something that has been around for a few months. Observations from the spring 2025 crop of LLMs are already irrelevant.

>One wonders if some professional mathematicians are instead choosing to publish LLM proofs without attribution for career purposes. This will just become the norm as these models …

LLM's are not archives of information. People seem to have this belief, or perhaps just general intuition, that LLMs are a google search on a training set with a fancy language eng…

Ideologues usually aren't great at primary source understanding/reasoning, hence why they end up with such strong opinions.

YT premium comes with their own version of sponsor block, but you manually have to hit the skip button. But I don't hold youtube accountable for what creators decide to put in thei…

Reminds me of vid.me, who picked up on the intense hatred towards youtube and launched a competing video host that actually got some serious traction. No ads, no subscriptions, jus…

It is. I don't why people say this. They even include their own version of sponsor block, which is generous, because technically sponsor segments aren't even part of youtube, they …

Cable TV is a bad analogy because it was a natural monopoly. Even the disruption route (satellite TV) was another natural monopoly. Netflix doesn't have the moat of "built a physic…

>Google realized this a long time ago; there is no ad-free paid version of Google Search. Google actually experimented with this about a decade ago (I know, I was one of the sucker…

The proposal is the spray purpose made reflective aerosols high in the atmosphere. We almost certainly will end up doing this, negatives be damned. Even worse it's just a bandaid n…

It's just another layer. Assembly programmers from years gone by would likley be equally dismissive of the self-aggrandizing code block stitchers of today. (on topic, RCT was coded…

It sort of is. When a property owner has loan against a commercial property, the lender uses the monthly rent to calculate how much they will loan you. The rent number they use is …

The outcome of this is just people lying about using AI. It's incredibly naive to think you can stop AI use by banning it. Banning AI just means banning admitting you used AI.

I showed my father how to use the live camera mode with Gemini and it's been a boon for him
