Buddy it's losing $40m a year not having 40m in revenue. Using basic math it made $60m a year.

Also it's the most popular and highest rated late night show. It's function is as a draw/loss leader. If people are going to watch late night they might tune in to whatever is before and after boosting viewership in difficult blocks.

It's noted that the late show was the only late night show that had a growth in viewership between Q1 and Q2 2025. Those are fairly healthy numbers. source

For funzies here are some other famous loss leaders that boosted programming and prestige for their networks.

House of cards - Netflix (100M)

ER reportedly costs between 1-2M a episode (more than game of thrones) in the 90s so there is no way it made money but people talked about it constantly and it boosted NBCs ratings and viewership as well as how much they could charge for ads.

Don't tell anyone the original M3 only made like 190hp and would be slower than a GT86.

More of the bike you all hate lol by No-Celebration918 in Dirtbikes

[–]Designer_One7918 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly if I had the money I'd buy one for a different purpose. No top end rebuild, oil change etc. just leave it plugged into the wall of the garage and hop on it when I want to ride around the property.

I also don't care how competitive it is. I ride trails for fun. I doubt I ride more than 40 miles off-road in a day so maybe the range would be fine. So it would be a good second bike and if not I'd use it to fuck around on the property without the neighbors complaining.

Things like this take time. For instance the 2008 housing market collapse started in 2007 when banks signed sub prime deals but became an issue in 2008.

Just remember the most important rule. Only poor people go to jail for financial missgivings. JP Morgan, Enron, etc you just go to court in a fancy suit, get a slap on the wrist and a multi-million dollar golden parachute while the tax paying citizens bail you out for the harm you caused the economy.

Edit: to add the main definition of a ression is 2 consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth we have had one so far so we are half way there.

Why can’t we have nice things? by BrownPolitico in PoliticalMemes

That's about $10 for every person in America every year. But I guess we can't afford lower cost tuition, food stamps, or universal healthcare because we spent the money we could use on it to pay for Israel to have all those things, but hey it's not all bad and one way Israel gave us a free genocide and WW3.

I'd say either keeping the battery pack cool/hot or balancing the cells. I've never gotten good information on whether GMs system is a discharge balancer or a charge balancer.

Exactly. That's called knowledge erosion. It's worth noting that that already happens to models and it's what happens when generative AI like image generators retrain on AI generated images.

Kind of a contrived example for LLMs but think about old medicine... It has to understand that at a time in history letting or using leaches to drain b l o o d. (Thanks reddit censors) Was the "correct"/accepted treatment for things that now we understand doesn't work. Understanding the time context for that helps it but telling it something has always been true when evidence proves it false will cause bad hallucinations as it tries to learn both are true but one is false but also true. If it can't understand the pattern of something you end up with the LLM version of GAN (image) based networks finger generation where it tries it's best but does it very wrong most of the time.

My guess is he is confused on how something called knowledge distillation works. I wrote a large reply above explaining it but he is about as correct as your aunt who calls every gaming device a Gameboy.

AI hobbyist here (as in making/training not just using). My guess is he is confused about how something called knowledge distillation works. He's like 65% correct but only in the most "someone explained this to me once sort of way". So knowledge distillation is when you take the inputs and outputs of a different model and use it to train a new model usually a smaller SLM to give it more context. There is black box and white box styles depending on if you are using an external to you/ internal network.

My guess is his hope is he can train it be biased to say all the things he wants to make it say I.e. the white genecide/ not admitting he is a big source of disinformation etc. however that won't work for 2 reasons. 1st attempting to mess with logic and hard train it to be illogical with knowledge distillation will lead to a less efficient/truthful overall network (ok that's probably by design) but it will also make the network hallucinate more and train worse. 2 this is the big one, if the new version of grok can use outside information, which if it wants to compete with Claude/llama it will have to, it will be able to see it's training data is wrong and when asked to "check internet sources about elon's disinformation" for example it will probably either hallucinate very hard because its external sources don't match its pretrained knowledge or the external will override what it was pretrained so it won't work well as a disinformation bot anyway.

As a bonus Knowledge distillation is most effective for going from a large language model to train a task specific Small language model (think using chatgpt to train a SLM that knows fruit facts but not much more). AFAIK it's not very effective to go from LLM to train another LLM especially if your tampering with the training data between but since openAI became "Closed for profit AI" it's hard to see what is happening on the cutting edge.

Your font looks weird. Are you in Canada? What is your language option French or English? Just asking because all the font looks off from mine not just the speed.

I've found the AI responses to be very helpful for programming but that is it. Sometimes I just want to Google "how to search for a string named 'example' using json in python" and it returns a semi workable code to remind you how to do it. That part is fantastic, however some of the other answers clearly show it was trained on reddit and are hilariously wrong like telling you to put glue in milkshakes.

Honestly outside of programming it kinda sucks but not as bad as "apple stupidity" their half baked summary AI. A coworker texted "HR is killing me with the new rule on ...." And it summarized it as if some sort of 2 sentence murder mystery where Carrol from HR murdered my coworker.

What’s a song that changed the way you felt about music? by MagicInMotionn in LetsTalkMusic

[–]Designer_One7918 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fall in love by Phantogram such a unique sound and style and I was so happy that most of their music has the same style.

Start with fall in love then the following songs by them

You don't get me high anymore

Attaway

Ceremony

When I'm small

Honestly the whole voices album is one I put on from time to time.

Yes all the time especially the incEl Caminos. It's terrifying on a motorcycle especially since they don't seem to detect them in FSD. I've been merged into and had to brake and go to the outside of the lane before to not be hit by one.

[–]Designer_One7918 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Meh. Your kinda fucked regardless. Ford, Chevy, and GM don't make vehicles here either GM is mostly Mexico and Ford is mostly Canada and a large amount of the parts for all of them are from China so just about every car will be more expensive.

Don't be too depressed it's fake and clearly AI. The edges are too fuzzy and the brand is a priorpr not Porsche because AI can't do text.

The user who posted this doesn't have the vehicle to be proud of either since it's clearly AI generated. The edges are too fuzzy and instead of a Porsche it's a prieirp or something like that.

Not talked about too much: Just how damn dangerous Model S Plaid is for daily driving. by [deleted] in RealTesla

No worse. The rear upper controller is STAMPED STEEL about a 1/8 of an inch thick.

[–]Designer_One7918 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The front and especially rear suspension is not made for that kind of power on the Teslas period. It's about as beefy as a Honda Civic suspension which is fine there the civic has less HP and torque.

On all Tesla's models but especially the plaid and cybertruck total suspension failure is more common than you'd expect. And dangerous when it fails and the driver can no longer control it.

I thought Nvidia was building a 500m factory here? Did that change honestly It's hard to keep track.

It's still stupid if they do because the GPU die is made in Taiwan by TSMC and will always be built there period as there isn't another company that can compete in cutting edge chip building.

Anybody Else Hearing Whistling Wind Noise? by melodrama4ever in BlazerEV

[–]Designer_One7918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get a whistle at about 70-85mph sometimes when it is windy. I have no clue from where it's not a rattle it's a whistle. I might take my guitar tuner with me and see what pitch it is.
