I would be happily surprised to learn that any of those sites could actually support the traffic this generated

So that debt the state is paying for…why do you think NYC had it in the first place?

Even with this “offloaded debt,” NYC citizens receive less for their tax dollars than the rest of the state

I’ve unfortunately had the same experience as you, I’d say at least 2/3 of my office is pro-AI.

So barely being connected to Germany counts as being “produced” by it?

Hitler was born in Austria to Austrian parents and was raised in Germany, sure. You can blame his German upbringing.

But Trump was born in New York. So was his dad. And his mom is from Scotland.

Thiel was born in Germany but his family moved in South Africa when he was an infant and then moved again to the US before he was a teen.

Oh no no, they have NOT been riding this wave well.

Microsoft and Google have each invested like 200 billion into AI crap and Google wound up with a MUCH better product.

Apple has invested like 10% of that, choosing instead to outsource. IMO they are the real winners here (of the previously-established tech giants)

My prediction is that Anthropic will “win” the AI arms race in the US but it won’t really matter because Deepseek continues to one-up them and OpenAI’s bankruptcy will destroy the economy anyway

Think about that, though. How much heat does a satellite produce to necessitate large fin stacks? And how much heat does a data center produce?

Yeah, I think my mistake was not realize the praise was coming from a much younger demographic. I was really surprised by how little gameplay there is.

I played Undertale and was kind of underwhelmed. The fandom would have you thinking it was the greatest game ever made

I really liked this game. I am not a fan of open world but my friend talked me into trying it and it defied my expectations.

Every side quest has “purpose” in filling out the world, I don’t think I ran into a single one that felt shoehorned in. And the way the map unlocks is very natural to the story.

I guess if you consider silently scrolling through variations on the same dozen jokes over and over a form of exploration…

It’s a bit ironic when meme culture cluttered and homogenized the internet

I got weirdly emotional the other day reading about Yellowstone and thinking about what people must have thought when they stumbled on Old Faithful.

Had they ever seen anything like that? Probably didn’t even know what it was. Even if they were a first generation American, it’s not like Europe is covered in geysers.

I got kinda sad knowing that every major natural feature on earth has already been discovered. I know that’s hyperbolic but…the bottom of the ocean isn’t something a normal person will ever see.

What they did to notepad was the final straw for me.

The article is 6 sentences long and 2 of the sentences are speculation from the author.

This is not a good article.

There is nothing TO understand. It’s “this thing happened. Here’s two statements of what that might mean”

There’s is no useful information in this article, just speculation

This breakthrough suggests that, with just three satellites, China could achieve global, 24/7, all-weather reconnaissance coverage of high-value targets, including US naval fleets.

To match this capability, other countries might need to deploy hundreds, if not thousands, of satellites.

Suggests that…Might need to…I don’t think the author is familiar with the subject matter they’re reporting on

The company is specifically referencing The Matrix but yeah, that’s where Wachowskis got it from

…I get that it ties up the has-been thread you started in the first paragraph but The Matrix isn’t a once-great movie. It’s still great lol

This isn’t racing but I was thinking about it this weekend:

Cobalt Core is a fun roguelike deckbuilder about escaping a time loop in a spaceship that I feel doesn’t get enough love. Definitely one of my favorites.

The characters are cute but not painfully so. They have unique personalities and every time you “win,” you unlock bits of the story of how everyone got there.

Is this a bit account? Should the name have clued me in?
