  The vegan I knew in college actually warned people about weight gain while she was pushing her veganism on us. “Its hard not to replace everything with carbs” was basically her spiel.

  I will upvote any tinydesk link. I love tiny desk, such a good way to discover music if you just let it run in the background while you work or whatever.

  Do I take it with water?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The AI boom is so huge it’s causing shortages everywhere else The $700 billion AI spending spree has few precedents. Good luck finding an electrician or a reasonably priced smartphone.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Because the product is dreams and the customers are investors.

  Getting harder and harder to find non Nazi bars…

  Have you seen those 50W burning lazers? I wonder if one of those could fry sensors.

  The easiest way to get this accomplished politically is to create insurance for them. Have the departments cover the base insurance rate and premium increases from settlements increase that officers insurance which (s)he has to pay out of their pay. If the insurance is unaffordable then you can no longer be a police.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists say quantum tech has reached its transistor moment⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well years could be 3 years or 300 years so that doesn’t really confirm OP’s guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft’s $440 billion wipeout, and investors angry about OpenAI’s debt, explained⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I am honestly surprised it never happened. Ma Bell got broken up in 1984, 6 years later Microsoft office is released, like 5 years later it has a dominant stranglehold. So in like a decade all of our consumer anti-trust power went away? Crazy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Tons of comments, but no answer from an actual horse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The world is trying to log off U.S. tech⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  He only cares about himself and the money he got from them. The better question is why all those tech billionaires supported him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft’s $440 billion wipeout, and investors angry about OpenAI’s debt, explained⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. They have like an 8 year depreciation, but they supposedly become obsolete in a couple of years for whatever cutting edge AI is supposed to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft’s $440 billion wipeout, and investors angry about OpenAI’s debt, explained⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When someone makes a better version of excel that’s cross platform and not solely web based will be the final nail in the Microsoft coffin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft’s $440 billion wipeout, and investors angry about OpenAI’s debt, explained⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder how fast you could run Farcry on one of those AI GPU units.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Y'all got one, right?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Its a ridiculous deep bird.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK grab a cup of coffee and read this article if you want to truly understand what's happening in Minnesota⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We need people to dress up as ICE and harass rich people and businesses. Maybe rob a couple BOA or something. Bet you would see changes fast.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New York Startup Builds Fridge-Sized Machine That Can Turn Air Into Gasoline⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This would actually provide me enough gas each week with my hybrid in office schedule.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some enterprising teenager should offer to upgrade peoples PCs to Linux, especially as Windows 11 is pushed harder. They could even offer a tech support option for a yearly fee.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At what point do you consider a person an alcoholic?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I define it solely on physical dependence. So it’s whether someone can and does go two days or more in a row without alcohol. If you can’t/won’t do that, then that’s the tell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The $20 USD bill is the new 5$ bill⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I want 20 dollar coins too. If you take inflation from early 1800s to now the dollar coin would be worth more.

  Someone could probably successfully pitch this to Trump with. “We waste so much money on printing bills, coins last forever” “paper money is so dirty” “We could shut down the Denver mint once we have enough coins made” “They will all be plated in gold type material” “we will put your face on the 20 coin, everybody will see your face forever everyday”

  … On second thought maybe don’t pitch it to him

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The $20 USD bill is the new 5$ bill⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I used them. We had a drink dispenser on a college campus that would dispense Sacagawea coins as change and I would feed spare change and get my dollars back and save them until I had enough to make a coin purse like a pirate and go spend them at the bar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The $20 USD bill is the new 5$ bill⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Its still a buck fifty for a hotdog and soda at Costco.

  Interesting, I was using Deepseek for book recommendations and it was exceptionally good at recommending books that are similar to one I just read compared to other models.

  I saw someone just cut it down the middle and make a long skinny sandwich with one. I didn’t even know that was legal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember in college we would use it to run Monte Carlo simulations, which I thought was cool.

  One of my family members lost their job managing the aelf checkout, but he can prompt an LLM. Can your dad give him a job?

  Just one more GPU rack I swear, were totally right on the cusp of AGI. Just need you to lend me a couple hundred more million.
