Honestly, a giant Rube Goldberg machine is a way better explanation for our thoughts than Gods

There are NFL prospects that don’t put up 8-12 reps at 225 during the combine, and those dudes are borderline superhuman. Like I know this is a joke thread on a meme post, but I just wanted to provide some context on just how difficult it actually is to bench press 225 pounds (really really really hard)

You understand rivers largely empty into oceans, right? Your tequila analogy leaves that part out. Eventually, you’re still dumping tequila (heat) into the pool (ocean).

If the heat made by the data centers can warm rivers, and those rivers can warm the oceans… Aren’t the data centers already warming the oceans? Which would mean that putting data centers directly in the ocean would definitely warm the oceans?

Is this a Kagi ad lmao

It’s not that weird for a space where the vast majority are men, unfortunately

Unfortunately

Windows 11 has evolved to a point where it works just really, really well when used on dedicated hardware.

In what reality? Because it’s certainly not the one I exist in

If the fediverse is shedding users, it’s because we still haven’t figured out a better way to explain federation other than “it’s like email”, the process of choosing an instance is vague and daunting, the process of moving to a new instance is vague and daunting, and people instance-police incessantly, creating a feeling that you have to choose the correct instance. That, plus the pervasive misogyny that rears its ugly head every once in a while.

I promise you though, people being “unwelcoming” by using silly terms is not why the fediverse is shedding users.

There’s some pretty obvious middle ground before making a deposit to the First National Bank of My Mattress. You could find a different bank that doesn’t use those captchas, or even do all your banking in person.

Couple different layers of joke, actually.

The first is that they didn’t actually misread $12B as $128, but saying so is a cheeky reference to how B and 8 look similar.

The second is sort of an attempt at absurdist humor. Obviously $128 is not going to get you very far towards building a physical AI engineer, and that question violates our rational expectations in a way that some find humorous.

When people and businesses stop buying their products

Holding hands with another person is harder than standard or suicide grip under a barbell, because holding someone’s hand means leaving the gym for an extended period of time

You’re not wrong. But on the other hand, do we really need a browser API for measuring a user’s SSD usage?

developpers might look at making games playable on less powerful hardware

Yes, please let this lead to devs focusing on efficiency again. I don’t need real time physics simulations and “lifelike” facial animations that still haven’t found a way out of the uncanny valley after like two decades.

I want snappy load times, download and install sizes in the tens of gigabytes, not hundreds, consistent frame rates even when there’s a lot going on on the screen. I have more VRAM than God, yet I still get stuttering in some games on high graphics settings. It’s pathetic.

I don’t think there’s necessarily anything inherently wrong with that statement. A police force acting in the interests of the citizenry to protect and serve them should take any threat seriously. Where things fall apart though is trying to claim that sending multiple vehicles full of heavily armed SWAT agents to someone’s house based on a single prank call is the same as “taking the threat serious”.

The person downvoting you doesn’t understand probability or statistics lmao

To be fair, Elon never specified exactly what he meant by the word “briefly” and the phrase “serve as a boat”

Oh wait, yes he did

No u

You decided to rage at my completely innocuous comment an entire day after I posted it, I’m not the one trying to flex here. Why are you so mad
