In any sort of political adjacent topic there’s always a comment from someone that seems to assume that they’re inherently better than everyone else for no actual reason and that everyone else cares about their opinion of others. From your response here to a random person on the internet you know absolutely nothing about, I think it’s safe to assume you have a single digit number of people that tolerate you on a daily basis.

I hope you have the day you deserve, I know I will.

But if you don’t have an anti elon sticker I’m starting to side eye them

I don’t have a sticker, only because I don’t like stickers or badging on my vehicles at all. My Model 3 was early enough that they didn’t even have the Dual Motor badging for them in stock. They brought the badging to me at some point about a year later when the Rangers came to a tire rotation in my yard, there wasn’t even have a full Service Center here yet. I didn’t have them actually install the badging, it’s still in my glovebox. It’s as low key as I can make the damned thing.

But that’s a major contributing factor to my looking at alternative options now instead of when it’s fully paid off in September. The swastikar is becoming a target, and I don’t want to have to deal with shit just because Elon’s a Nazi. Got a test drive setup next week for a Polestar 3, and if I fits and I likes, going to be looking at that probably, especially with their added discounts and bonus for leasing and currently owning a Tesla. Most other manufacturer vehicles I’d consider are at least 1-2 years away still, so a 27 month lease is just about perfect for filling that gap, and making a decision then. Would still be less than I’m paying for my Model 3 with those discounts.

Not like most of the luxury EV market at $80k+ starting.

For many of us we’ve had our vehicles for a long time before Elon went dipshit crazy. For some it’s because EVs were essentially dogshit before the Model 3 was introduced. Either short range grocery getters or expensive luxury. Even now most “electrified” vehicles everyone advertises are hybrids, not EVs.

I got my Model 3 near the end of 2018. Elon wasn’t posting far right and Nazi shit at that time. He was sort of controversial, but that was about it.

Oh look this is making the rounds again. I thought Reuters was above taking years old stories and recycling them for clicks. Apparently the current Elon hatred was just too enticing for them.

And was the second time that window had the ball bearing thrown at it. They’d tested it backstage but didn’t replace that window for the on stage demo, so it was already weakened.

Inkjet is great, for photo printing regularly. For absolutely every other situation a laser printer is better.

Hypocrisy, no. He views Tate as a threat against him and his position of power somehow.

Correction, LLMs being used to automate shit doesn’t generate any value. The underlying AI technology is generating tons of value.

AlphaFold 2 has advanced biochemistry research in protein folding by multiple decades in just a couple years, taking us from 150,000 known protein structures to 200 Million in a year.

WTF is a Chegg?

What the fuck are they paying for? A shitty ChatGPT frontend and crap hardware no one actually wants?

Who the fuck is approving that purchase over at HP? I knew they weren’t particularly smart over there, but holy shit, that’s straight up brain damage levels of decision.

Lots of apps are able to interact with your text messages. Many apps are able to intercept one time passcode messages when registering accounts for instance.

It’s also not weird to separate this if they intend for it to be able to be used in other areas as well.

Just because it may be used only by Messages right now, doesn’t mean that it’s intended to only be used there.

Possibly, but none of those bought judges matter unless it ends up in their specific court. That’s why they’ve been trying to install as many of their own as possible.

You just know that’s going to be exhibit 1 for the defense.

Fucking fascist Nazi man baby doesn’t like when advertisers do what he tells them, and then continues to do so when he realizes that was a bad idea.

There are plenty of step-by-step guides to run Deepseek locally. Hell, someone even had it running on a Raspberry Pi. It seems to be much more efficient than other current alternatives.

That’s about as openly available to self host as you can get without a 1-button installer.

Am I supposed to hold owners accountable?

Yes. Don’t go there. Don’t support businesses that exploit their workers. Just because it’s legal that doesn’t make it moral. Slavery was legal as well, we got rid of that shit (mostly, still 100% legal for prisoners).

Your exact logic supports slavery. Might want to think about that.

A couple issues with this take every time it’s mentioned.

1. That isn’t on a per-hour basis. That is based on a usually weekly or bi-weekly cycle depending on your state. So if someone made a lot of reported tips on Saturday night, effectively making a couple hundred per hour, and no tips the entire rest of the week, they might still make the overall minimum wage for the week, effectively working 30+ hours for $2.13 an hour (federal tipped minimum) instead of $7.25 (federal minimum) or more depending on the state.

They’re making on average of a good amount, but most of that work is for shit pay no one would ever consider doing at that pay rate. It is very good money during that busy time, but anyone that’s ever worked food service knows busy times like that are an insane amount of work in comparison.

Nvidia doesn’t give a shit about gamers anymore. The incremental improvements are a side effect. This is why they’re so focused on software enhancements instead like DLSS now. It gives them the marketing numbers without having to do the hardware improvements for gaming.

Their bread and butter now is AI, and large scale machine learning. Where businesses are buying thousands of cards at a time. It’s also why they’re so stingy with VRAM on their cards, large amounts on VRAM are not as necessary for most workloads outside gaming now, and it saves them millions of dollars every generation.

To be honest, that seems like it should be the one thing they are reliably good at. It requires just looking up info on their database, with no manipulation.

Obviously that’s not the case, but that’s just because currently LLMs are a grift to milk billions from corporations by using the buzzwords that corporate middle management relies on to make it seem like they are doing any work. Relying on modern corporate FOMO to get them to buy a terrible product that they absolutely don’t need at exorbitant contract prices just to say they’re using the “latest and greatest” technology.

I mean company backs pro-company party isn’t exactly surprising. You want to not shop at every company that supports Republicans? You’re going to have a hard time finding anywhere to shop in most of the US. Gotta stick to smaller companies, and if you get small enough you’ll get to mom and pop locations where personal votes are the comparison and they’ve voted Republican their entire lives.
