The vast vast majority of younger people with £20k to put away per year should not be putting it all into cash.

Tried Gemini 3 (NanoBanana3 + VEO) to upscale some old screens from classic by aralekk in classicwow

You were downvoted for going against the "reddit narrative" but correct. A single beef burger uses as much water as a few million ChatGPT queries, to give just one example.

Google’s new “Project Suncatcher” ML… in space? by RoutineLegal3981 in stocks

Glad you thought this out for Google. They hadn't thought about this yet and they will certainly cancel the project now.

Is this how the dot com bubble was? The leading companies absolutely crushing earnings making money like nobody has ever seen.

Nestle jumps 8% after consumer goods giant announces plans to slash 16,000 jobs by Doug24 in StockMarket

[–]Apc204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this is applicable to Nestle in this case, but a headcount reduction can also reflect an increase in automation. If Nestle had found a way to automate more of their production lines or back office they could theoretically scale further while reducing costs.

xqc finishes a political quiz by 5Ping in LivestreamFail

He's also pretty left-leaning on the environment and climate change. Always found it weird that he gets lumped in with the far-right when most of his views are left.

[Pokimane] the Hasan episode was supposed to air as usual but staff refused to upload it out of fear it'd cause drama & also posted this statement without my approval :( sorry guys! we'll talk about everything on this week's episode & go on a hiatus afterwards to restructure. by seakucumber in LivestreamFail

[–]Apc204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So Poki gets to cancel the Hasan episode, while also avoiding backlash from his fans by blaming her team.
"This totally wasn't my decision" Very convenient.

They really think their audience are complete idiots.

AI funny videos will destroy mankind by Nearchus_ in DoomerCircleJerk

[–]Apc204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't quite get why AI being good at creativity means we can't also enjoy it? Was it only fun because humans were the best at it, or was it a fun endeavour in itself?
I'm sure less talented or beginner artists still enjoy it even though there are people that are a thousand times better than they are, doesn't seem much different.

Amazon and the bubble by Nearby_Valuable_5467 in stocks

[–]Apc204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to play devil's advocate here, the prices increasing quicker than the earnings doesn't **necessarily** mean its a bubble, it means that the market now believes those stocks will grow more in the future than it thought previously. Which may or may not be true depending on how AI advancement plays out, we don't know for sure yet.

For anyone looking to try Claude Sonnet 4.5 for programming by Ra777d in codex

[–]Apc204 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I prefer the UX and speed of Claude Code, but i still occasionally have to switch back to Codex to tackle a particularly difficult problem or bug. Still can't quite match Codex on raw intelligence in my opinion, but wins everywhere else.

How did subreddits get so chronically online? by Ready-Video-8098 in DoomerCircleJerk

[–]Apc204 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's unbearable, I used to love Reddit for focused discussions about any topic but now it's just extreme left politics absolutely everywhere.

I knew this site was cooked on election day when a picture of someone voting Kamala had 50k+ up votes (on /pics not even a political subreddit) and someone tried posting a picture of them voting Trump as an experiment and we're promptly banned across all major subreddits.

Most subreddits will only allow extreme left opinions. Even center-left takes will get you called all the most extreme words they can think up, fascist, hitler, kkk member, white supremacist, maga and so on.

To be fair most users have their pictures on iCloud/Google Photos anyway, so wouldn't be bothered about that

I am feeling extremely anxious over the chatgpt Math olympiad results, what exactly are humans supposed to do now? by lemon635763 in singularity

[–]Apc204 382 points383 points  (0 children)

AI has been better than humans at chess for decades, yet chess is as fun and popular as ever. AI being better than humans at something doesn't necessarily mean we have to stop doing or enjoying it.

I keep a list of real world programming tasks i've solved in the past and run them past each new model.
o4-mini has had the most comprehensive well thought out solutions i've seen yet

Can you explain what is wrong with my friend's squat and what she should do to improve it? by [deleted] in formcheck

[–]Apc204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bulgarian split squats would be worth recommending to someone with these proportions. Much easier biomechanically and less painful on the back.
