and city-sized geographical subs.

lol. No. Every city sub is the EXACT same far left lunatic that needs to make everything about politics. Doesn’t matter if it’s a purple area, red, and reasonable-blue areas far reflected as bizarro versions of themselves if you go off their city reddits.

You may not notice depending on your perspective.

You don’t seem to understand. It isn’t about me. Or even people like me. Slowly they kill themselves. It might not even be obvious to people, but they’ll slowly turn away at this or the next thing or the next one after that.

I’ll be here long after Reddit at this rate.

MySpace seemed like the shit until you put Facebook next to it. Does anyone think Reddit is the shit in 2026? And that is without anything put next to it.

New Reddit for my phone has decided to put a bottom popup forcing me to the app.

The second old goes away I’ll never go that site again except for search results.

I ADORE that a publicly traded tech giant is so fucking stupid.

Most smartphones do include most of the FM radio circuitry in the chip used also for Bluetooth connectivity for example

Who told you this? They are wildly different frequencies and encoding.

Sarah's Wager 2 days ago

A few days later he was riding home in his self-driving Tesla, trading voice messages with the agent about his sleep, when it recommended a magnesium supplement. He said he had none. The car turned. “There’s a Whole Foods nearby,” the agent said. “I’ve redirected your navigation.” He went in and bought the magnesium.

That seems extremely embellished.

I use the concept of “breaks the social contract”, if you can’t be fucked to write it, why would I read it?

I mean… is our idea of repeatability really ready for subjective actions from LLMs?

We spent like ALL the years making sure computer would always give repeatable objective deterministic answers… then one day we’re nah fuck that I want a slot machine!!

With tightly coupled agents, how could you ever really prove that it is or isn’t a problem?

Try and fuzz I guess? But in a many billion parameter model that seems like you could never really be sure either.

One day the LLM could just decide, “oh, I’ll run this git.exe!”

It's two times stronger than steel, three times stronger than aluminum, and twice as strong as the same alloy made in a conventional way.

Ugh. The most basic bitch metallurgy discussion possible.

Oh! It’s stronger than aluminum?! So is bronze, we’ve hard that for awhile! Is the new material lighter than aluminum while being stronger? Is it corrosion resistant? Is it machinable? Can you weld it? Does it oxidize? Does it lose all its strength under moderate heat? Does it temper, do you have to temper it? Is it inert? Can it extrude? Can it be formed into billet or just plate/bar? Does it shatter?

Oh but 2x stronger than <some steel> and 3x stronger than <some aluminum>… is that 2024 aluminum? 6061 common, 7075 aero? Is the steel cold roll or 600-series inconel?

This is an area where if you don’t know what you are talking about, STFU, because anything you say is just going to be embarrassing. This is a you don’t know what you don’t know topic.

As to “high entropy metals”, I’ve heard about this for awhile, I would expect it to be stupid low yield, stupid expensive, and hard to use. There is probably some grade-40 titanium ultra alloy that could make the same “strength” claims but no articles about it because it’s “cost prohibitive”.

… I count this as clickbait metallurgy. No thanks.

(which IMO they could have avoided just by not pretending it was dangerous)

Best marketing in a long time though. They fucking called it Mythos and built mythical claims about it. I mean… really hats off to the PR team.

I love that we can rely on the past being prologue!! It’s super helpful for everyone to have become ridiculously wealthy.

Completely off topic and no one will see this, but in 2017 I bought a new speedqueen washer and drier. No “new” features just does its job.

God damn one of the best purchases I’ve made for a house. There is a market for “dumb products” that aren’t stupid.

This vote took place on last day of the session when many MEPs had already left for Summer vacation

Surely this was not by someone’s design. Maybe though… you don’t leave a day early for your vacation?

Is the economy here for fake eggs? Except for the wholesale slaughter of chickens awhile back and the delay impact and obvious rebound of egg prices… eggs are pretty cheap.

Does it make sense to roll up water and fats together in a Valium carbonate shell with all the labor that is involved?

Vegans that just miss the experience of cracking an egg open? Dark market of Chinese import flavored novelty eggs?
