Upgrading old and obsolete GPUs?

This is all wildly short term mania.

Smaller than N.

Julia is not written in assembly.

Business actually treats a pseudo-dictatorship (with the requisite yes-men) as "good leadership".

Most times it's pretty simple, in my experience. A CEO either runs a business as a (1) Sales focus [best deals and vendors] or (2) Marketing focus [best reputation and trends] or (3) Investor focus [best boardroom friends].

Lots of other opinions are usually thrown out until there's really only one facet used for running the company.

Has anyone asked what customer will have any funds to buy products?

Once all these brilliant workers are stacked and mentally stunted and decayed because they were removed from any research.

What does the AI really "do" (if it can) and for who that can pay?

This has a lot riding on a fallacy.

Interest rates in fiat currency, these days, are not due to scarcity of lendable funds. Saving rates by consumers actually are just a low-risk or high-risk form of rent seek8ng., depending on the economy.

There's no world these days where a vast amount of collected wealth by a few makes credit suddenly cheap for all consumers.

All wage earners will still be able to drive up inflation if they demand goods that are not able to keep up easily... therefore pressure to save (to not take out debt) will raise interest rates fine by itself.

Unless we are talking about fiscal-based government spending (and interest on fiscal debt), no increased access to credit will become "better for all". Businesses can absorb all the credit offered during good times and consumers may see none.

Business failures will suddenly dump some assets on the market at fire sale prices, but a lost job makes those fire sales of little solace.

The important point is what a deserter would use as logic when asked "What if everyone gave up and only responded to selfish fear?"

Then, sir, it would be foolhardy to contribute any part to that service because soon it will all collapse.

That's, in a historically commonplace fashioned see today, is what the top 10% are doing when seeing the top 1% abdicate all responsibility.

Low or no taxes? Sounds good ... but it's going to burn down soon.

That seems utterly disingenuous as nearly every single other advanced economy IN THE WORLD has near free health care.

This is silly.

Inhabited areas everywhere and non-inhabited areas everywhere have had an extreme growth in wildfire.

The gains stay the same be cause they were examples to other human-apes with other invisiible-line kingdoms.

Sum totals for the coal spewing nations and states among us are far worse.

Current AI degrades totally unlike human experts. It also, by design, must lag its data input.

Anything innovated must come from outside or have a very close permutation to be found.

Generative AI isn't scary at all now. It is merely rolling dice on a mix of other tech and rumors from the internet.

The data can be wrong or old...and people keep important secrets.

"Nerd sniping"

Nihilism solves so much nothing.

A million more layers of "freeing" yourself and you are back to where you started every time.

An ape granting all impulsive choices the ability to undo anything long-term at all.

Futility is a real thing for some dreamers to accept... but plan-less-ness is not freedom.

It is bondage to short-sighted repeated failure.

It would be quite useful to protect other code from that.

It could easily be a compiler-based protection: any opcode that can generate it from two/one normal input must be checked for normal results.

This is similar to how C++ gives few guarantees but "new" and "this" never give null or unallocated values.

A shockwave does not travel linearly.

October Surprise, 2016. Not subtle.

The bets on moneybags-centric ML spending has many dead ends.

Draining capital into the wrong ones will be common and easy. Then the bubbles will burst and we will see how much raw capital and debt actually pay out.

what about all those that turned out to be deranged imagination / fascism / communism / racism / cultic or just plain moneymaking FUD?

You remember all those? Strange. Thst seems to be blocked from you reading it.

mindless antipathy in abstraction,

mindless apathy in the real

and then solipsism

the least of all realities.

Making those with money able to buy more tomorrow than today will make all sales plummet... all real needs go unmet and all efficient loaning of money cease.

Holding your breath will leave more oxygen for whoever survives .... but there won't be as many who need it left alive.

Deflation is deadly unless you worship coins as the only valid measure of economics.

nah. far easier to be offended. that'll show 'em.

Battery or other energy storage (hydro) could do that and give it back too.

a symptom of rent-seeking?

speculation... wasteful monopolization and other rotten externalities ARE the problem.

and since when are prices of land decreasing suddenly a terrible thing?

I'm sorry for this album we identify as the instruments, not the band.

it works for all industrialized nations... but us.

the question is how much do we want to waste and how many should die?

except you are really sure about saturated fats.

So there's no private activities and coordination outside of government that later become criminal or even legal-but-consequence-free actions?

Great Recession? Hidden pricing cartel systems in insurance and finance? Huge subsidies and protections to "help business" with no press to cover its failure?

Info is suppressed by flooding and distraction far more than by conspiracy theories' spawn.

No. Gravity and a flat surface doesn't exist in money-power.

It is buoyancy. It lifts few people up very high as they push down more that go down under the waves.

Denying voters any rights of voting is "in the constitution"?

Welcome to your role as either a Nazi or a Mao-style communist. Lying is not a creative writing class.

Democrats of these days call everything "tainted". That movement has only interest in defining flaws as inherent.

None want to burn it all down. This is for genuine fear of those who want fascism to encourage mob violence, discrimination and deny law and order to minorities.

Puritans are not the anarchists in this story. Little Nazis are trying to normalize revolution and idol worship as somehow universal.

Lying to kill the constitution is their main tactic.

His pot is not as cracked .... but quite full of his victims money apparently.
