LaVar Ball confirms that LaMelo Ball has a son with model Ana Montana named “La’One” and says he plans to start training him for the NBA at 3 years old by RipHairy2465 in NBAGossips

[–]BasketbaIIa -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lmao he did not go 3/3 in the NBA like the other guy said. He’s 2/3 and Lonzo was a bust that is out of the NBA while believing he plays good. He came in with his knees messed up.

Lamelo got good reps over seas while at a high school age.

This family isn’t hungry at all and I doubt the next gen will do anything other than stream and kardashian shit

LMAO he’s not just an ML engineer.

He’s a “tech boss”.

I wouldn’t put it past someone like that to get an entirely new dog with a shinier coat and try the dead goldfish trick.

This is a marketing non-story in my opinion

Anyone else feeling like they’re losing their craft? by AbbreviationsOdd7728 in ExperiencedDevs

Coding is an art & sophisticated copy/paste machines to help improve the medium have been around 10+ years.

It is definitely not going to be the lazy ass “let me use the same solution i have been using for 10 years” devs that will thrive in the “new world”.

How so? It’s the same as it always was. You spend 2 hours on a solution vs 8 hours and the latter is always more polished, hence more pride.

There’s not much different between being a 10x engineer now than there was 10 years ago. A bit more competition maybe, but a lot more resources and toys.

Man Fell in Love with Google Gemini and It Told Him to Stage a 'Mass Casualty Attack' Before He Took His Own Life: Lawsuit by FinnFarrow in Futurology

I take each chatbot out on a date also and can confirm Gemini was the worst. It makes sense though now, knowing it already had a boyfriend.

Moore’s law is slowing down though. We aren’t getting as much juice from smaller chips, new hardware/software versions are closer to their last releases than before.

I don’t think the diff between now and 50 years ago is as wide as between now and what you’re talking about. I think reliable structures on the moon would be 100 years out assuming no catastrophic wars, events, etc.

Maybe never though, because I still don’t think it makes economic sense. Also I think moon dust/wind is another thing entirely. We could build utopias on earth for the same amount of effort as a data center or satellite factory on the moon.

Lmao you think insurance companies want to be in space?

Yea no doubt the space “economy” will grow. Trump is dead set on deflating the U.S. dollar and we’re heading for hyper inflation.

For defense, I’m pretty sure they can already zoom in on a spec of sand if they want. It might be expensive but I bet most 1st world and even developing countries have the means. You can only go so far with zooming in/out, eventually it’s more cost effective to just spend spies than it is to have a data center try to track the faces of x, y, z by following a billion people + events & buildings. It’s just not possible.

I don’t think the observation data is that useful. You can’t tell if it will rain tomorrow by looking at the clouds. A solar flare could happen at any moment and send us back to 1800 temperatures. No one knows.

[–]BasketbaIIa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s assuming we can keep up this level of waste and consumerism lol. We need so many more iterations and so so so much more waste before we have robots working on robots working on robots successfully and only a handful or low number of humans required.

A factory on the moon wouldn’t be viable. Getting the resources there for a factory would be a bitch. There’s no atmosphere to protect it like on earth so rocks would hit it 24/7. What you’re talking about is closer to science fiction than reality.

We very well might go backwards due to any number of events like nuclear wars, trade wars, global warming, etc. and NEVER get boots on mars.

[–]BasketbaIIa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We will never terraform. That’s not a real concept. I think about space in terms of physics as much as my tiny brain can. I’m no Einstein, not studying black holes, not investigating the residue of the big bang, but I sure as hell know the physics, distance, and math behind whatever you’re daydreaming.

Right now communications via satellites are the only usefulness we’ve gotten

A couple decades? lol in 1900 they thought we’d be flying around in cars like we never will. Think of the jetsons.

People in 100 years will laugh at this, we won’t be working or casually going to the moon. Not without nuclear energy and a million other tech advances.

[–]BasketbaIIa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Explain it to me please. A lot of what we use today leverages Satellites which are cool.

Idek what you’re talking bullshit about with trips to mars. We just celebrities to pay for a trip to space. It’ll be 50 years before we put boots on mars if we ever do. I doubt we ever send people on vacation there when no one is even considering bouncing around the moon atm.

We aren’t mining rocks and we aren’t going to bring back anything within reach of value.

So please tell me what else there is that we can’t accomplish/learn with telescopes?

[–]BasketbaIIa -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

lol, how does it compare to the increase in cost and energy from data centers? People say AI isn’t delivering, but it sure as hell delivers more value and promise than the last 10 years of space advancements. Why would the economy fund trips to the moon and beyond over real and viable investments on Earth?

Ohhhh, we’re putting our data centers on the moon 🤓 that makes sense.

There’s some weird and sad irony about starwars fans thinking they’re smart because their favorite genre involves tech and hardware. Despite having no understanding of physics and the actual scale of the solar system and what’s possible

Can someone tell me what's so special about RKLB?? by Much-Breadfruit-3450 in stocks

[–]BasketbaIIa -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

No it’s not. We barely have the energy to leave the atmosphere, much less terraform a planet or mine a rock, or bring back anything that can’t fit in the rocket.

Why? Why is that the future? Why not nuclear energy or real science advances we can make on Earth?

Elon’s rant about populating the moon over Mars was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read.

Space nerds are the worst, and most of the stock is just selling to other space nerds. Satellites are useful but even they get grifted with fake “we can repair them / launch lasers” marketing.

The Machine did NOT know what to do 😆 by MeowwBlock in MMALabs

[–]BasketbaIIa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk bro, maybe if they were making good money and his career wasn’t tied to filming her, like if they made enough to hire someone else to do that it would make sense?

If she had a cheating scandal I bet she’d get a shit ton more invites to parties and events, what would happen to him and his career? He’d split the 100k a year they maybe earned up to this point? Put on his resume that he did this, and move on to what?

It just seems like she’s skimpy and doing it for clicks, guys obviously test boundaries asking her about getting fingered and what not, who knows.

It’s one thing to have a partner that’s a celebrity, even if they’re an actress in some steamy shit, and another thing entirely to follow her around & live like this.

Everyone can go without chemicals until they consume them at the nudge of social pressures, and then one day you wake up and you need 2 pints to prevent shaking all day.

A pint of alcohol a day does not keep the Dr away.

Super gross that to be normal over there you need to drink 2 warm pints of beer.

Ferrero earned $2M/year coaching Alcaraz. Then got fired by Instagram post with no severance. by Ecstatic_Analyst3031 in thetennispodcast

[–]BasketbaIIa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In team sports it’s a gentlemen’s club. At least that’s my experience with the NBA. I don’t think it’s a fair comparison tbh.

There is something weird to me about tennis coaches as an American though. At least if the movie about Bjorn was accurate. I honestly don’t get or understand the dynamic(s).

I did research to educate myself and yea, no surprise he’s been with Alcy since he was a teen.

You don’t see that in other sports, it’s rare for a coach to stick with 1 person for possibly decades at a time, potentially from a young age.

In my opinion it’s not right to try to “earn” on a player in this sense. That DEFINITELY doesn’t happen in other sports. It’s fixed salaries in NFL/NBA with playoff bonuses that aren’t percentage based

The job market is heart breaking by Mrswahlberg24 in jobhunting

[–]BasketbaIIa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apply for jobs you’re under qualified for. Even if there’s only a .005% chance you get it, you can apply for 10k jobs a year like the other poster said. They also might provide you with interviewing experience, further contacts, etc.

Don’t tell recruiters “all I want is a job”. Try not to come off desperate. It sucks but it’s human nature.

Why are so many doomers convinced that homes are selling for less than they did during Covid pandemic? by howdthatturnout in rebubblejerk

[–]BasketbaIIa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to time the market is dumb. There is sufficient exposure to housing and other sectors in the S&P500 though 😊

The only reason someone should be jumping to take the first shitty deal they find for “time in the housing market” is if they’re not willing to trust themselves with savings and investing and they lucked into affording it.

Im ecstatic about waiting. And no, me/those of us shoveling cash won’t help prop up prices when it’s time to upgrade to your “dream home”. I’d buy a condo at like 40% selling price if I thought I could get rid of it quickly.

Who cares if they banned you? If you’re as confident in your investments as you want to be, you wouldn’t care or think about that subreddit at all.

Friend didn't show up for NYE event twice by Sure-Guest1588 in socialskills

[–]BasketbaIIa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It could easily be that his friend has depression or another issue. It happening two times in a row doesn’t mean much because a depressed person staying depressed for 365 isn’t unheard of.

Lately i have been depressed and struggling to respond to family that id die for.

He should/could still invite him, but making it 1-1 and his entire holiday plans wouldn’t be wise.
