- Comment on Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else? 4 days ago:
You really have to split it up. Teachers and nurses have always been paid pretty poorly. They were traditionally female only professions, and expected only to work until married or what not. Or they were nuns, and didn’t get paid directly. Doctors of course, being traditionally male only got paid a lot better. But I agree that for most of human history, professional athletes were just rich peoples kids. They weren’t even getting paid most likely. It would be interesting to try and figure out who the first true professional athlete was. Someone who wasn’t born into money, and actually got paid a living wage.

The old fashion way. Inherit it. Our the really really old fashion way. Fraud.

For the most part, the owner class does have a job. They have to buy and sell the things they own. They have to maintain relationships so they can get a better deal. And they gave to use thier influence to increase the value of what they own. It’s all fake work of course. It doesn’t increase the productive output overall. But it is a job. And pretty much full time at that.
The real answer is to be the kid of one of these people. Then you can make your money the old fashion way, inherit it.
- Comment on Nvidia plans heavy cuts to GPU supply in early 2026 1 week ago:
The gov owns a piece of intel now. If that isn’t enough, consider that they now have a competitive advantage in that government agencies are less likely to go after them for abusing customer trust and such. Intel will need to exploit that to get ahead. Also, there is constant talk of breaking up the company into parts and such. Not much stability there.
- Comment on Nvidia plans heavy cuts to GPU supply in early 2026 1 week ago:
For AI, the largest computing expense is usually training. Individual uses are much smaller. And a model that has a narrow scope like flying can have even less demand. Also, they already have autonomous drones. They don’t even need AI. The AI part would probably be like target selection or strategy. And of course, since when did governments care about oversight in a warzone.
- Comment on Nvidia plans heavy cuts to GPU supply in early 2026 1 week ago:
Well, maybe not useful to you. But to hackers, which at the government level are military, it can be very useful. They can use AI to exploit a publically disclosed exploit faster than people can patch thier systems. That can give one country access to the sensitive data of a different government. And of course, hacking utilities and infrastructure can give one country a lot of power over another. Why do you think a Russia is working to enable itself to isolate it’s internet from the rest of the world. Can’t hack what you can’t connect to. And of course, it doesn’t even have to matter if it is useful, as long as the governments of the world think they can’t let other governments get ahead of them.
- Comment on Nvidia plans heavy cuts to GPU supply in early 2026 1 week ago:
I don’t see it as exponential. Plenty of up front costs that have a decent appreciation period. I think they can prop it up for 10 to 20 years though. And there is always the chance of some breakthrough to either extend that or pay it off. I expect more of the former though.
- Comment on Nvidia plans heavy cuts to GPU supply in early 2026 1 week ago:
The same thing as everything else… money. If the gov dumps money into the bubble it won’t pop. I mean it’s not sustainable, but it can work for a pretty long time.
- Comment on Nvidia plans heavy cuts to GPU supply in early 2026 1 week ago:
I wouldn’t go intel. That place is a shitshow. Also, I am not so sure the AI bubble will burst. World governments see it as sn arms race. So they will keep that industry propped up.

Is there an equivalent name for “the americas”? Its more like a region or whatever.

Yeah, that was pretty soft. I guess it was not suitable for many workplaces, but not universally so.

True, america draws that kind of person. So they come here from all over. And the system here is designed to help them.

Totally agree. He doesn’t actualy fix things, just talks about it. Then waffles on the idea after the check clears.

Hey hey. 1 - it’s not all americans. 2 - it is not a uniquely American thing. You don’t see many “poor” poloticians for a reason.

I’m trying to think what NSFW football would be like. They have some very NSFW wrestling videos out there.

This is one of the things people don’t get about trump supporters. Establishment politicians would never suggest such a thing. They stick to the established political crap. The you get a guy like trump who just spouts whatever he hears or thinks. Stuff like how it doesn’t make sense that football is two drastically different sports. That is very appealing to a lot of people. He is saying the quiet parts out loud. He doesn’t actually “do” anything productive about it. But it wins over plenty of voters. Also, he lies so poorly you easily know.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 3 weeks ago:
People are free to pressure retailers on what to sell and what not too. Saying they can’t would be far worse. And the retailer is doing the job of making money… by following the 2ishes of the populace. This is the free market capitalist society we live in. Completly sucks, but it is consistent.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 3 weeks ago:
Someone who claimed to have played the game said the privates were sensored.
The game concept feels very political, not sexual from what I am hearing.
My guess is the AI just flagged it, and noone actually reviewed it. Now that it is news, they don’t want any bad press, so they are standing by the ban, when otherwise they might have reversed it. - Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 3 weeks ago:
Um, he didn’t say he was deciding for others, he said he could understand how others would be hesitant… sounded like he was supporting your very point that people have a right to have their own opinion.
- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think the bubble will burst like we are used to. AI is part of the arms race between nations. So they will shore the industry up at all costs.
As for the choice to shut down the brand. It will be years before all that infra gets built. Better to sit the time out and revive the brand when prices are reasonable enough that hobbyists and such are willing to pay them. - Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 4 weeks ago:

On the flip side what choice will they have after sony’s AI gets them cut off by claiming rights to the pictures of thier own kids on facebook. They will need lots of tech to get back online. And we know there are people who will find a way to make it dead simple.

- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 4 weeks ago:
So, you have fully backed my response. OP didn’t ask if it was possible with some caveats. I understand a (at a high level) the technical options that can get close to what OP asked for, but it fundamentally just isn’t possible without caveats.
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 4 weeks ago:
You could, but that wouldn’t address OPs question. The IRS is known for giving info to other parts of the government to aid in prosecution. And the gov has shown they are terrible at cyber security, so you might as well just post your browser history on the web.
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 4 weeks ago:
Read back what you wrote. Your first line was about a trusted credential provider. Thats a middle man. Then you talk about creating a proof. Guess what, that phone and browser are known to spy on you excessively. That’s another middle man. And odds are that same phone or browser it what you will use to access something that needs the verification. So the same phone or browser has all parts of the information.
And of course it’s pointless because anyone could steal an ID and get themselves a key. Or steal your phone… so it wouldn’t even prove anything. - Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 4 weeks ago:
Nope, you always need a middle man to do the verification. That middle man has too much information.
Also, if you could solve for the middle man, there is no way to know the user belongs to the ID. It can easily be stolen.

I do look forward to the day that I can have a phone that unfolds into a tablet size. I have two devices because my old ass has trouble reading and typing on a phone. But that is going to take an extra dimension of folding.
