Why?

I have had 5 of the things so far in my life, not one headgasket needed. Its the coolant additives that eat the gaskets, use the right coolant and no issues. Well that and don’t bounce on the redline like an idiot.

I have seen a move away from office products into cloud things like google for years. Not a huge fan of the “cloud” but here we are.
- Comment on OpenAI needs to raise at least $207bn by 2030 so it can continue to lose money, HSBC estimates 1 week ago:
Ha, the sad part is that meth use will increase inversely relative to the average households buying power. Meth is always affordable… just need to rip the wires out of your houses skin.
I first noticed the raw material value oddity was years ago when a bank was trying to sell me on a saving product, the return was below inflation and therefor useless. So I looked it up and if I bought a large amount of lead, and put it in my yard the lead cube would (even with the lead being loss into my grass) be worth enough after 10 years to give a better return then what the bank was offering.

Bail out almost anyone that bought tech stocks? Seems unlikely, and it would be basically admitting the end of the stock markets legitimacy. Bailouts tend to be for companies on the edge of collapse.

I am at a loss to what that would even look like. The bubble popping would mean the admission of AI (LLMs) not having a viable path to usefulness or return, so then what would a bail out even be? Money? To what end, the bubble would have burst and the idea of AI (LLMs) being anything but a money pit would be what makes the bubble burst in the first place. Unless they can show a path to profit (they can’t) then the bubble will burst in time or continue in an endless zombie state where they just pretend that somehow AI (LLMs) are the future while burning capital. If it does go into a zombie state (as so many other things in the us market are becoming) then the whole market will just slowly fail as the “hype” turns into disappointment. The only reason that the zombie state would be preferable is that entities need to invest their money somewhere and maybe some other thing in the market can take AI (LLMs) place, but even then why bother bailing out anyone?
- Comment on Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken 2 weeks ago:
That system fell apart when they showed they could not count to 9. 10 Should have been 9, and it was mid at best.
- Comment on My landlord partnered with a financing company - I can pay $15/month for the luxury of making weekly payments on my rent 2 weeks ago:
You are also supposed to have wages that keep up with the cost of living, A non us medical system, 65% of americans not living paycheck to paycheck, and a democratic system with more then two choices.
But you have to live in the world you live in and not a fantasy.
- Comment on Open Source Developers Are Exhausted, Unpaid, and Ready to Walk Away 2 weeks ago:
Same as all other tax funded projects, by some elected people who likely have no idea about the project.
Joking aside, we will see more of this funding due to governments moving to open source software as they tend to want to fund their own stuff.

Its odd that things become shiny and greasy everytime the industry pushes graphics. I want to play a game that is by it’s very nature not the real world. If you want to do a photo realistic game then bring back FMV.
- Comment on Stop stressing my GPU and start hiring artists 3 weeks ago:
Oh yeah, for sure there is a place for it. But a big part of the whole selling point for raytracing is it will just do its thing and look good. However it looks like this.

That or they have a large stake in microsoft.

Why would I entertain an answer at all? It has nothing to do with this conversation other then you wanting a win.
So, no thanks.

Sure its the future, from years ago. One day for sure…

And if there is dirt, its glossy and reflective. I swear they are trying to give uncanny valley vibes on everything now.

I did, and just think its bullshit. Investors have to invest, where would they put it if not in “safe” companies like microsoft?
Its total shit talk to put words and intent into a group of people and funds. They don’t care, they just have money to park and Microsoft is seen as a safe place with a good return. There has been too much invested in this shit for them to change course, but also no alternative to invest in.

No, no they did not. They just said nothing, and execs took that to mean what ever they want. As is tradition.

Oh it has, but the implications become clear when you look at the ones that did. Like evergrand…
- Comment on Stop stressing my GPU and start hiring artists 3 weeks ago:
Like 3d tv, this is just a fad. Most people I know turn off raytracing in a few min (even though they spent $1000s on hardware to do raytracing). The generated frames and full ray and pathtracing have such low payout vs the cost. Unless something changes this is all pointless waste.
Best example I can think of is the rtx portal looking and running like ass compared to the now very old original.
- Comment on Stop stressing my GPU and start hiring artists 3 weeks ago:
I would be happy if they stopped making everything look somehow both covered in vaseline while also being more reflective then a fucking mirror.
Just look at this shit in the demo:
