- Comment on Nvidia plans heavy cuts to GPU supply in early 2026 16 hours ago:
They’ll still undercut, just as they are doing.
I just don’t think moaning about the companies makes any sense. If you imagine the most utopian scenario you think of, with communal ownership of all production, how do you think the commune is going to allocate GPUs? It’s going to stick a load in hyped AI products and gamers will be last in line, just like now.

If this is about supply pressures, it’s not Nvidia acting as a cartel, is it?
AMD has, as far as I understand, been outcompeting Nvidia on value for a good while. If this is Nvidia just being anti-consumer, I’d expect that to continue

Then just buy AMD.

But the point is that the person complaining isn’t complaining about the French, but about some imagined English dude who picked the pronunciation of rendezvous for fun
- Comment on Typical monopoly people 1 day ago:
The US one evolved as well, just preserved rhoticity which is a major feature. There’s no “UK accent” (nor “us accent") either - West country accents for example are still rhotic

That is doing it wrong. You should only ever round as the last step before display.

If there are some people that like him, and some people that hate him, you can bet your arse there are some people who kinda don’t know. 2% or 4% or whatever it is is not many people to be undecided.

Oh I actually thought the comment I replied to replied to your comment about broadcast English xD

- Comment on London venue ‘appalled’ after antisemitic imagery allegedly screened at Primal Scream gig 6 days ago:
Yeah that’s a problem with Israel.
Doesn’t absolve everyone else of the responsibility not to be racist tho.
- Comment on London venue ‘appalled’ after antisemitic imagery allegedly screened at Primal Scream gig 6 days ago:
So do you think that Israel and Jews or Judaism are one and the same? No?
The symbols are not the same. A swastika emblazoned on an Israeli flag would be a completely different statement.
You know, just the same as there’d be a difference between displaying an alteration of any religious symbol that implies its members are all evil, and displaying an alteration of a flag featuring that symbol. Many flags feature religious symbols.
- Comment on London venue ‘appalled’ after antisemitic imagery allegedly screened at Primal Scream gig 6 days ago:
A star of David entwined with a swastika? Clearly, without a doubt anti-Semitic. It’s saying “Jews are Nazis”.
If you want to convey an anti-zionist message and don’t hate Jews, it’s actually quite easy. Yeah, Israel will still accuse you of being anti-Semitic but they say Jews are anti-semitic if they dare suggest genocide of Palestinians is a bad thing, so we don’t go by that.
People are pushing back on Israel’s “all criticism of Israel is racist” with “no criticism of Israel is racist”. Be fucking better. Stop condoning racism because it aligns with your politics.
- Comment on Skier narrowly avoids a crevasse 1 week ago:
Do crevasses ever form on ski pistes when they’re open? I feel like most people are of a like mind with me.
- Comment on Skier narrowly avoids a crevasse 1 week ago:
Yeah I would avoid skiing in any area where there’s a possibility of crevasses forming without me being informed.
- Comment on Google AI is great. 🙃 1 week ago:
Nobody is talking about all the stupid mistakes AI is making. It should have all stopped after LLM AIs thought blueberry has 3 Bs in it.
I never hear about anything else
- Comment on Skier narrowly avoids a crevasse 1 week ago:
That seems like a good reason not to go skiing there.

You’re gonna do a lot more laundry if you wash that many towels.
- Comment on Have LLMs killed all future programming languages? 1 week ago:
Well, they will if vibe coding takes off. But if not, it’s not that different from how it’s quite reasonable to choose python because of its massive community and archive of Stackoverflow answers.
- Comment on Even millionaires don't feel wealthy these days 2 weeks ago:
Christ I think I copied the wrong figure and it should actually be 2.9%.
I’m on mobile ATM so can’t conveniently check but that likely changes the income decile considerably.
- Comment on Even millionaires don't feel wealthy these days 2 weeks ago:
Average S&P return is 10%, but average US inflation is 7.8%, which gives you a yearly return in today’s dollars of $22,400. If you did your plan and bought a house for $250k, (well below the US median house price, but I’ll take your word for it that it’s plausible) you’d expect to indefinitely get $16,800 a year. If you add on the average US rent ($1,700) which you wouldn’t be paying with an outright-owned house, you get an equivalent yearly income of $37,700. In 2023 this would’ve put you in between the 4th and 5th deciles, so slightly below median.
So, if you think the middle class is squeezed in the USA, then you should also think that someone with a million dollars would be squeezed if they quit their job and retired intending to live of it.

I don’t really think that’s how embarrassment works.
If that were the way people thought, every single person on earth would be sharing their nudes on OnlyFans or similar. In actual fact, (the prospect of) embarrassment and shame prevent them from doing so.

Well yeah. The Court’s job is to enforce the law of the land, and if that is not compatible with international law, the law must be changed.
