  1. Driver support is doodoo with enterprise cards for gaming, you're always better off with a 5090 for gaems
  2. crazy story - he actually stopped growing vertically after the picture on the right! Just started going horozontal and beefier
  3. He did kind of do one of those, where he buttered Mark up by asking clarifying questions about the Dirk documentary that people accused him of cap circumvention on - and then followed up with a question about Jalen Brunson that mark gave an "idk" answer to
  4. Gotta say, Kirk would be honored to see all this freedom of speech get shredded in his name But at least the president got to riff on his murder
  5. IMO reads more like trump falling for AI slop. The executive class can have a horrible bias for believing whatever the magic box tells them without thinking critically
  6. Candidly that's usually the ACTUAL work of software development in my experience. Business units (and/or customers) rarely are able to fully describe their desired outcome and requirements. If you know that, implementation is significantly easier and faster. Otherwise you just end up doing iterative cycles like you described
  7. Like growing up running into telephone poles? He's an absolute MONSTER, and I mean that in the best way for a tough running back, but homeboy is playing like there's no tomorrow.
  8. Interesting paper published by Anthropic about a tiny sample size of documents being able to poison ANY size LLM https://www.anthropic.com/research/small-samples-poison Very interesting considering that there's a shitload of scraped info from github, reddit, and blogs in general. A person could concievably seed in just a few hundred documents with trigger words and set up unintended behavior in the LLM. What's wild is how scalable the attack vector is, you need proportionally smaller sets of "poison" documents the larger and more complex the model is. Larger models are effectively more vulnerable, because they take in geometrically larger sets of documents in training and need a linearly increasing set of "poison" documents. "Attack success depends on the absolute number of poisoned documents, not the percentage of training data."
  9. sounds like
  10. https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-impact-economy-gdp-jobless-growth-productivity-2025-10 The US economy is strong, but America may be entering an era of "jobless growth" because of artificial intelligence, Goldman Sachs wrote in a Monday note. "The modest job growth alongside robust GDP growth seen recently is likely to be normal to some degree in the years ahead," analysts at Goldman Sachs wrote. They added that this trend is likely to continue, with most potential growth coming from AI-driven productivity. Meanwhile, population and lower immigration would contribute only modestly to the labor supply. There are already signs of a weaker job market, wrote the analysts. The analysts pointed out that job growth outside the healthcare industry has turned negative in recent months, and that corporate management teams are increasingly focused on using AI to reduce labor costs — a shift that could weigh on hiring long term.
  11. That's quite a self-report to admit that you're cool with the destruction of our constitutional rights and the ongoing attack on anyone the Administration deems "other", as long as your stonks keep stonking.
  12. No argument here on your limp wristed #BOTHSIDES, but this is specifically different in that Pelosi at least is legally required to report her trades. Good ol TrumpCoin and the rest of the cryptoscam space that they exploited and extracted from have no such requirements.
  13. Gotta say people spiking the football on this peace deal are pretty impressively overlooking that Palestine has been turned into a wasteland from Israel's strategic bombing campaign on women and children Like, I guess it's cool that Israel is tapping the brakes on their lebensraum and ethnic cleansing, but the damage is done
  14. They're the pro-fa to the anti-fa
  15. It was pretty transparently someone within/connected to the administration. The short position built up relatively quickly at a HUGE volume, before trumps tariff threat, and stopped building the literal minute before his Royal Decree of Increased Consumer Taxes.
  16. Like being in the Epstein files, yeah?
  17. Not the $20,000,000,000 gift to Argentina - who a couple years ago you were SURE we're gonna fix their problems with crypto and populism? Literally two orders of magnitude worse than this particular grift
  18. Bruh. https://www.theverge.com/energy/646011/trump-says-the-future-of-ai-is-powered-by-coal We ain't fucking building renewables and nukes. We're burning clean, BEAUTIFUL coal!
  19. The problem here is that it's all mark to market dealmaking. Oracle's deal to spend billions on NVDA chips is contingent on building their datacenter in Abiline, and their contracted builder is still raising funds - THEY HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN PERMITS YET! They've applied for them and are breaking ground while it's pending, but they aren't gonna be reaching their targets and stated goals that they've already marked down as FUR SURE profit
  20. The railroad "boom" and "bubble" from building in the late 1800's absolutely left useful infrastructre over. Can you enumerate some of the use cases for these leftover AI chips? Please, enlighten me. Because they are specifically NOT general compute, and are only fit for this extremely specialized usecase. Further, the hardware purchases are decaying silicon assets, not steel fucking rails. You don't have to replace rails every few years just to keep burning $500,000,000,000 a year
  21. what even IS nitrogen fixing in soil? Crop rotation is WOKE!(!!!)
  22. Peter Theil's parents owned the uranium mine that Apartheid South Africa used to build their Bomb. I would imagine that growing up in that environment and moving from West Germany to Ohio to Apartheid during his formative years really REALLY fucked with his head. As bad as Elon is, his parents were only mining gemstones in apartheid
  23. It's too bad DOGE wasn't able to protect us from the waste, fraud, and abuse of doing a $20,000,000,000 currency swap with Argentina. Right after their farmers ate our farmers lunch, no less.
  24. Only if you were building your position to literally the minute before the tariff (there's that word again) announcement, and started offloading it 5 minutes after for a massive gain. Otherwise play on player
