“Learn to code” didn’t solve the deep underlying issues with the job market?

Looking forward to Tesla reporting Q2 earnings next month. I assume another round of disastrous numbers paired up with some vaporware distraction. Perhaps they can keep this charade going, but at some point reality will catch up.

It already jumped up about 10% on monday simply because the service launched. Even if the service crashes and burns, they’ll jump to the next hype topic like robots or AI or whatever and the stock price will stay up.

Oh right, I forgot that history started on October 7th.

Iran is simply countering the terrorist state known as israel.

Iran has the right to defend themselves and israel has proven again that Iran is in need of this defense.

The weird people are still there, but development teams are much larger now, so their input is not as prominent. Plus the budgets are so large that a flop can heavily damage a company or even ruin it, so they’re very risk-averse. We need more AA or A games instead of relying so much on heavy-hitters.

I think at this point Android is the king of operating systems in terms of what the majority of consumer devices run. Perhaps the path forward is people plugging their phone into a dock and being presented with a more productive interface.

Not sure, but they anticipate a lot of children having this device in their hands, so they’re going to design it for that, perhaps even over-design it, just in case.

I’m still using my GTX 1070. There just aren’t enough new high-spec games that I’m interested in to justify paying the outrageous prices that NVIDIA is demanding and that AMD follows too closely behind on. Even if there were enough games, I’d refuse to upgrade out of principle, I will not reward price gouging. There are so many older/lower-spec games that I haven’t yet played that run perfectly for me to care. So many games, in fact, that I couldn’t get through all of them in my lifetime.

I felt the same until I had one of those challenge peanut things that add straight up capsaicin crystals. It made my tummy feel not so good when I had it on an empty stomach, but I never had the “spice burns twice” effect until I had malatang and I asked them to do a spice level above their written max level.

I’m grateful I have the basic technical knowledge of how to install an adblocker. 🙏

I wasn’t on reddit, but I did hear a lot of buzz about lemmy around that time, so I decided to check it out. It’s been one of the better places I’ve enjoyed for discussion.

People will upvote and downvote for any reason, but often do so simply because they agree or disagree with the post. A good moderator does not moderate based on their personal opinions. I would rather not rely on votes for moderation because it’s terrible for that purpose.

Memory manufacturers purposely cut production to help justify cost increases: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/memory-prices-rebound-due-to-reduced-production-increasing-demand

But yeah, they’ll also take advantage of demand (real or imaginary) to jack up prices: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/dram/micron-confirms-memory-price-hikes-as-ai-and-data-center-demand-surges

The rich would rather live in an apocalypse than let workers have some more of the wealth that the workers themselves have created.

But the plummeting price of gold from the abundance would make the asteroid mining commercially nonviable. As an aside, only 7.16% of the gold demand in the world is actually for technology: https://www.statista.com/statistics/299609/gold-demand-by-industry-sector-share/

Yep, that’s leverage. They sold notes which can be converted to shares of microstrategy. So while they don’t have to issue more shares right now (which would dilute shareholders and lower the value of individual shares), they will have to in the future given the conditions on the convertible notes. If they have to convert those notes into shares while the price of bitcoin is dropping, it’s a double whammy because the value of their holdings (which their value is entirely based on) drops AND they’re diluting individual shares by having to issue more shares. This wards off investors which will tank the price even more.

What argument? You pointed to the price of bitcoin going up and I pointed out that scams go up in value. Then you think it doesn’t apply to bitcoin because…? Oh, that’s right, you didn’t make any argument other than “number went up”.

The point did fly over your head, you’re right about that. Pointing at the current value of your scam investment as proof of it not being a scam does not make it legitimate.
