Let it break down during Trump. Show the MAGA he only brings ruin.

My bet is a Q4 26 or Q1 27 bubble pop, so it happens just after US midterms so republicans can blame Dems, because their base is dumber than dirt and will greedily gobble up the party propaganda, no matter what their lying eyes say.

Its not my responsibility to close all their doors that are accessible to the public.

It’s not your responsibility to close the doors, but it is your responsibility not to walk in an open door and take something that’s not yours

As a US citizen, I’m liable for my own negligence and/or ignorance.

Yep, and that negligence/ignorance you’re liable for in this case is piracy.

You’re welcome to disagree with a bad law (and make no mistake, I absolutely think it’s a bad law), but you’re still liable for breaking laws you don’t agree with. By all means break it, but don’t pretend you’re not breaking it, and make sure you take reasonable precautions to keep yourself safe while doing so.

Good to know. Do you have any links or recommendations to look into?

Unlike humans, who tolerate tornadoes blowing through their neighborhood without missing a beat.

we got talking about how leafblowers suck.

In my experience, they tend to blow, even the good ones.

I’ve been thinking about doing a mini split for my office/upstairs bedroom, since that floor is always the hottest area of the home. Damn if the install cost isn’t as much as the damned equipment

I’ll have you know it’s 5 hours of sleep, and that’s normal.

What part of that is a stupid decision? Cuz I’m not seeing it

Stupid people regularly do not make good decisions, and even less so when drinking.

Expecting stupid drunk people to make good decisions will only ever lead to disappointment

The hand is too far up, the person is clearly waving/signaling to their friend

Yeah, they probably meant just a regular rollover 401k. I have both a rollover and a Roth, because one is from previous employment and the other is what I contribute to biweekly

I’m not denying it’s the best way to earn wealth, but you’re being disingenuous AT BEST anytime you say anything as ignorant as ‘no one ever went bankrupt investing in stocks’, and it makes it hard to take anything you say seriously.

No one has gone bankrupt from investing in stocks, unless you didn’t do your research well.

“No one has died of food poisoning, except for the people who didn’t research their food well”

Interesting, I mainly use audiobookshelf for podcasts along with my audiobooks, I’ll have to look at what the ebook integration is like.

Man, can you imagine the uproar if China required companies to have local people on the company’s board to be able to operate in China?

What horrible government would allow that?!?

It’s less that you think differently, and more that people are questioning how much you’re thinking in the first place.

I’ve used AI enough to know that they struggle with basic concepts in things I understand well, which means I can’t trust it much on topics I’m unfamiliar with since the likelihood that it’s bad in my field (technology/programming) but good in others is drastically low. We regularly see how bad AI is in all kinds of fields, and the problems we see are all the same archetypical problems like hallucinations, basic misunderstanding of concepts, and it’s obsequiousness is out of control and regularly applied to incorrect user responses and corrections, and an inability to consistently follow basic directives.

I struggle to see how this isn’t a bubble given how all of the money being pumped into AI is predicated on it becoming something useful, and so far the main use I’m seeing out of LLMs is revenge porn, copyright infringement, mass market propaganda, and lowering the quality of output across tons of sectors because people think this shit is useful when it spits out trash.

pension

I’m not sure how old you think most of us are, but I don’t think pensions are a common retirement vehicle anymore, and haven’t been for a while. 401k would probably be the modern equivalent, and it’s still running on the stock market for the majority of its life prior to beginning to withdraw.

And I would almost bet the crash will be about the time the Dems take power, just so the Republicans can whine about the situation they created and blame the Democrats for it.

But the ai means it has to call a server with the information, so I can’t get past that.

That just means they need to ship the model and a way to run it locally. I’d love that, and wouldn’t give a shit if it took a long time to run on my hardware for something like that
