Lots of good gems, this one got me:
1980 - Alan Kay creates Smalltalk and invents the term “object oriented.” When asked what that means he replies, “Smalltalk programs are just objects.” When asked what objects are made of he replies, “objects.” When asked again he says “look, it’s all objects all the way down. Until you reach turtles.”
I’d say it’s 10% bird flu and 90% companies raising prices in unison because they can blame bird flu.
Why yes, there was no consequences during covid so the companies are gonna keep doing this until there are consequences.
Remember, there was the bread price fixing in Canada too, yeah, feels like such a long time ago
Pretty sure Luigi showed a more effective way
Is it because the AI has to avoid certain topics?
“It’s not our fault our AI sucks, you made the poor thing quit”
Really? Cause I was thinking climate solving, fusion powered sex robots.
The smart phone doesn’t do one thing, why shouldn’t my robot?
TLDR: the first five weeks of 4000 series didn’t have 4080 yet and that’s what they are comparing it to.
Yes, but:
I have Immich that has AI searching for my photos. Pretty useful for finding stuff actually
Just one step closer to:
Damn Sony. You had a golden opportunity to say we are an old school tech company, we are not gonna play these silly games.
But I guess, that’s not how capitalism works. Race to the bottom baby!
China will overtake US as the dominant economic power, exert their influence on neighbouring regions and get more push back than it thought (similar to Russia).
The world will fracture into different regions with different day to day life (even more so).
US will become the wild Wild West where everything goes in the right state.
Canada and Europe (western not Eastern) will stay put in terms of peace, but they will no longer have “the best standard of living”.
Africa will get abused by China and become the next China.
Australia will be like, wtf mate, but they’ll be dead soon… stupid kangaroos.
Doesn’t surprise me, the plot is rather weak.
Why is dating an oligarch a good thing?
Autocratic countries have a small number of leaders, often one.
The goal of said leader isn’t really to grow and bring wealth and prosperity, but to never lose power.
So overall, the economics of the country would plateau, cause why risk allowing wealth to grow and fall into your opponents’ hands?
Hence why countries like Russia and North Korea rarely innovate, but just take what’s available to further entrench their country’s position.
So the only way autocracy can prevail is by brining down anything superior to it, much like what Russia is doing to the US.
Overmorrow.
I hate saying the day after tomorrow like some peasant.
I mean, as much as I like to criticize chip companies, it’s across the board.
In most industries, the owners are sticking it extra hard to the consumer.
All this article does is say tsk tsk instead of recognizing the late stage capitalism and pointing out our few options.
Idk man, as someone who waited for the 5000 series and then didn’t buy them (went with an older model), these articles make me pretty happy. Ngl
Hahaha, keep doing that.
Buying local is becoming part of the conversation and nothing says weak leader like flip flopping.
So tariffs go on consumer goods, so it’s like a consumer goods tax.
He has said before that he likes the idea of pre income tax America where tariffs paid for a small government.
Well, when you decrease income tax in favor of consumption tax, lower income folks tend to contribute more in that situation than rich people given how they spend most of their money on shit they need.
So it’s a wealth transfer, kind of boring once you realize their plan comes down to: more money for the rich, like, every single time…
At least VR does what it promised, unlike crypto and AI.
I also think there are economic reasons, we don’t live during a time when people can buy expensive toys.
Steam deck was a hit because it was economical, just $500 and have access to a whole PC.
