Exactly! I’ve also had it with these homeless people thinking they can just place an encampment wherever without paying someone. Don’t they know free stuff is communism actually? I know the police clears them out once in a while, but that also costs valuable taxpayer money! Instead, why don’t we rent them spots under bridges, and in return the police leave them alone? /s obviously
What? Why the hate on vinyl? It’s not practical, nor is it anywhere near the sound quality available on services like Tidal or Bandcamp, but that’s not the point.
It’s a physical, irrevocable copy, in a world where everything is becoming a service which gets revoked when you stop paying. Sure, there’s some consumerism in there as well, but I doubt some plastic discs are going to make a dent compared to the millions of tons of clothing being produced by Shein, just to go straight into the garbage.
It’s not even the original spare I think. If you look at the middle brake light there’s way too much room.
In other news: violence against Jewish people is on the rise.
Irish people have contemporary, first-hand experience with colonialism and oppression from the British. I think their support for Palestine is admirable and brave, but it’s also not surprising given their recent and not-so-recent history.
It’s all about class struggle. Not many people know this, can you believe that? A guy called Karl Marx said that, very smart cookie he was. I used to be on the side of the rich, but I’m switching sides. They call me working-class Trump.
I feel like aggressive proponents of genAI are so because they are intimidated and/or jealous of the people they say they will replace. They lack the skills and critical thinking to become good at the task they want to replace, but also unwilling or unable to put in the work.
Instead of reckoning with this, they construct a phantasm where artists are “gatekeeping art”, and genAI is going to disrupt that gatekeeping. Meanwhile I think deep down they know that what genAI produces is derivative by definition, and not “real art” by any means.
That’s reparations for capitalism
I bet you get tons of free bonuses too: roads, public education, pensions… Damn, seems like this whole government thing is quite efficient, with the no shareholders taking profits and stuff.
Why? Because of the chat control stuff?
Those laptop cores are kerbstomping the zen1 cores according to these benchmarks. Double the performance for single-core geekbench, which matches what I observed as well.
To your point of how far new zen cores have come, I have a fun story from work. In short, in my specific use case, my 7840HS (8 zen4 laptop cores) was at parity or outperforming a 1950X (16 zen1 desktop cores), in a fully multithreaded task. The workload was essentially a bunch of RISC-V simulators running independently in parallel through a makefile, so the individual tasks benefit greatly from increased IPC. I’m not sure the entire gain in performance comes from IPC, but it’s probably the majority and that is still very impressive.
Also it’s mostly security through obscurity. It is just difficult enough to dissuade most people, but not actually secure because that costs money.
Yeah there are a fuckton of “real men” in Europe, influenced by the firehose of toxic culture coming from the US. I agree 100%, governments need to prevent selfish idiots from endangering others with their bad choices.
That’s true yeah, there is a lot less retail investment in those companies.
What is similar to the dot com bubble though is many “smaller” companies (i.e. not Google or Meta) are buying into AI as an investment into infrastructure for their company, just like was happening with useless websites during the dot com bubble.
The AI bubble is going to be like the dot com bubble I think, but with the world being so heavily financialized it might spiral into something like 2008 or worse…

Yeah left-handed stringed instruments are actually quite rare, and are only used when you can’t use a right-handed one due to disability. You’re using both hands to do different but coordinated movements, so being left- or right-handed doesn’t make that big a difference.
Even though the rejection probably hurt, I think you dodged a bullet there.
Of the rapid-onset variety I think
