I’ll just go and pick out those sentences I find not of curious good will for this forum: “Did Jeff […] get paid to post misleading headlines” “I can't believe this crap is getting…

I think the lite tip of: “take your credibility seriously” stands, however you are getting attacked by pretty much one (ab-)user. (Those type of users are normally not even in your…

Congrats on self learning Latin. That takes hard work. I adore reading texts on ancient texts that go into possible alternative interpretations. One of my favourite classes in univ…

No, no, you misunderstand my intentions. Say there is art in “pop music” (I think there is, as is in classical music or rock; even in 00s or 10s pop). So there is a pinnacle of art…

I see the resemblance to what AI generates, and wow some of those works are painfully detailed. I don’t think it’s just training. His work I is what I would describe as somewhat mi…

Can be true at the same time when dealing with high leverage and a growing fund. The YTD doesn’t make you more liquid or secure.

In the category of private victories without any economic use (any hobby costs you something): I store boxes for LED lights with receipts. Write on the box where you put the light …

You're right. Those are 2999.99 according to their site. According to the Wayback Machine they've been priced that way since at least 2024 [1] [1] https://web.archive.org/web/20240…

Register a complaint with the creditcard company with proof of last years $38, the auto renew message with price of $38 and the amount they put on your card. Pretty clear and cut? …

Don’t wait for the right equipment to start writing, _but_ there is a little joy in just splashing a little on a nice pen and nice paper. A few decades in life and I’ve assembled a…

Thanks to the comment above I discovered Games on Whales and just read up on the possibilities. Isn’t that exactly your usecase? It seems you can stream to multiple underpowered sy…

This is US ToS probably? Under GDPR we have no punitive damages, no broad discovery, and the CJEU has kept non-material damage awards modest. So we can sue, but can’t win greatly t…

The owner of starlink is planning to be the only remaining capitalist. UBI is not for the US, a return to indentured servitude is.

Like your thoughts! And then mastery is being able to play things exactly the same. But with mastery comes another way for humans to recognize each other. Specific sounds to specif…

Put on the hats of a risk manager or supply chain manager. Yes, that would have mattered. What you insource today, you can repeat tomorrow. If you know the price of an input will m…

What they can’t see, they can’t tax. Window taxes and resulting changes in architecture are a nice historic example.

Look, I share your sentiment. But, I can relate to the C-squad though. Going squarely against the market sentiment is not the way to gain and keep confidence. And everyone is vibin…

No need for the downvotes imho. Can’t speak for u/noduerme but in putting outsourcing (labor, LLM/AI) in the same basket I don’t see a category mistake, but a dry way of looking at…

I’m in Finance and learned pretty quickly that to point out the implicit future cost raises based on the cost the LLM-providers need to recoup was unpopular at best (STFU better de…

I enjoy risk seeking behavior as well as the next guy, but lets please be adults and make this opt-in, not opt-out. If you get the LLM to ask the right questions, (for me) obviousl…

Economically, you would probably be the only customer (stated willingness to pay can differ from market outcome ;) paying that amount. Your stated willingness to pay has little rel…

Incomprehensible! “Didn’t quite get his leg over” - that’s the joke? Found a Guardian article and even they do not explain the joke [1]. Further ethnological research [2] explains …

I think you are right but would like to keep in consideration that penalty clauses are real and can be enforced in court. We have no (or perhaps: have some) clue how far the bargai…
