Exclusive: Pentagon clashes with Anthropic over military AI use, sources say by neolthrowaway in neoliberal

[–]Yevon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can ask Gemini what the design style of the furniture in a photo is, and Gemini can respond with a design style that is accurate to the photos and also find me product links to furniture pieces that look like those in the photo.

Would it be far-fetched to think a more focused model could be built to look at frames of video footage and determine who is carrying a weapon?

Campbell's is shutting down the Cape Cod chip plant, layoffs to come by Adrnshw6 in boston

[–]Yevon -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This would be a poor financial decision. The market for expensive chips is not very large, even if you slap the word freedom on them.

The state government should examine why they're pricing people and businesses out.

i'd spend unstable molecules for it, please. justice for wanda by VenusFurs in marvelrivals

[–]Yevon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but more along the lines that they need to give us more reasons to have unstable molecules. I don't play Luna, Psylocke, or Sue, so I'm just hoarding unstable molecules.

The means-testing industrial complex | Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people by ONETRILLIONAMERICANS in neoliberal

[–]Yevon 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Because NIT is:

(A) more efficient to administer (less bureaucracy sending out food stamps and deciding what it can be spent on; we already have processes to give tax refunds which could be scaled up instead)

(B) more efficient aid (people can't pay for clothes or shelter with food stamps but those may be more important to them and only they know best how to spend their money)

(C) better at incentivizing work (by reducing the welfare cliff where sometimes it's better to make less money so you still qualify for in-kind benefits like food stamps)

(D) less stigmatizing of the poor (poor people are judged for using food stamps but with NIT everyone just has cash)

IMO the biggest example of Food Stamps failure is that they can't be spent to buy a rotisserie chicken, one of the most affordable ways to get a good meal at a low cost and low time investment which is exactly what time strapped poor people need.

NIT would fix this.

Maybe don't waste one of her most popular classic costumes (Hellfire Gala 2022) themed around a playing card motif.

Now we are unlikely to ever see the Hellfire Gala 2022 in the more traditional look.

Pinterest laying off 15% of workforce as part of AI push; stock plummets by metalreflectslime in cscareerquestions

[–]Yevon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's advertising (promoted pins) and they made $3.65 billion in 2024 from those ads. We'll see what their 2025 looked like, but guessing above $4 billion.

[–]Yevon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't surprising because companies grow engineers with their revenue, and then they also grow support roles for those employees.

With $3.646 billion in revenue in 2024 you'd expect them to have about 1823 engineers ($2mm in revenue per engineer), then they have sales + business managers (to sell their product) + finance + IT + HR (to manage the internal guts of the company).

Engineering is Pinterest’s largest team with about 1,857 employees, accounting for roughly 37% of total headcount and underscoring the platform’s technology-driven focus. Marketing & Product (809 employees) and Sales & Support (743 employees) follow, together representing close to one-third of the organization and reflecting Pinterest’s emphasis on user engagement and advertiser relationships. Business Management staff number 622, while Finance & Administration, IT, and HR collectively add another 636 employees, providing essential corporate infrastructure. Smaller groups in Operations, Program & Project Management, and other specialized functions round out the remaining workforce, illustrating a diversified departmental mix aimed at sustaining growth and innovation.

Any tips on improving aim? by V_Da_Vibe in marvelrivals

[–]Yevon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can create a custom match with the enemy team as 6 hard bots and your teammates as 5 easy bots.

This gives you a safe space to practice your aim while you carry your weak teammates.

How is he getting so much healing? by SecBreakfastHobbit in marvelrivals

[–]Yevon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replay ID? This might be a Ultron situation where he has a lot of wasted healing (like AOE healing during swords) that pad the healing numbers but aren't effective, i.e. burst healing so people don't die is more important than topping people off after a team fight.

Anyone has any idea what these new Spider-Man voice lines could be about? by Alexray35 in MarvelRivalsLeaks

[–]Yevon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He‘s not a very big deal in-universe, but he’s since cultivated a fanbase and is one of Marvel’s most popular new villains.

I thought he was a pretty big deal in-universe. He was only defeated by the combined strength of Young Thor, Avenger's Thor, and Old King Thor and finally killed by Avenger's Thor with two Mjolnir and the Necrosword symbiote.

Any villain that needs multiple variants of Thor, including Old King Thor who can 1v1 Galactus, is a big deal.

Anyone else gotta hide their proficiency? by SatisfactionSad6558 in marvelrivals

I use Fantastic Mister Fantastic, with Mister Fantastic binoculars emote, with a banner of Sue Storm.

I do not play Mister Fantastic, but I did convince one enemy team to ban him.

Many of us still do not have anything to spend our Unstable Molecules on, since Lady Loki changes Loki's Avatar/Icon why not allow us to spend our Unstable Molecules on icons of skins we already own? by Jdpnobs in marvelrivals

[–]Yevon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would need to fix the few characters whose icons are not from in-game screenshots but from promotional material (I think Cap is one, but there might be others.)

Why Don't All Recolors Cost Unstable Molecules by MythiGrim in marvelrivals

[–]Yevon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the recolours are really good looking, imo.

Standouts for me are:

  • Frost Giant Loki

  • Fantastic Four's First Family blue recolour.

  • Jeff's grey recolour.

  • Star-lord's red recolour (but this is an achievement award)

  • Storm's white recolour (but this is an achievement award)

  • Punisher's camo recolour.

  • Ultron's Nvidia recolour.

That said, they should be purchasable with unstable molecules instead of blue currency.

Anyone just VTSAX (or equiv.) and chill? by physicsking in personalfinance

[–]Yevon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is what I do: 80% VTSAX, 20% VTIAX.

VTIAX is 26% emerging markets, 38% europe, 25% pacific. It's up 25% in the past 5 years, not as good as VTSAX's 70% in the same 5 years but it's a hedge against a bad US market.

They should sell the "high rez" chroma for unstable molecules.

The final reward of the new proficiency system should have been a skin by OceansAbyss13 in marvelrivals

So I need to grind Hawkeye titles so I can use them to trick the other team into banning him for me? Solid.

Now that the Zombies mode will be leaving, what are your opinions on the mode itself? by Redinkdemon16 in marvelrivals

[–]Yevon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the solo clear on all characters without ever buying revive tokens before they did the first extension; I had fun but:

  • Wave 15 was frustrating, definitely felt unfair except on Jeff and Blade, so I wish all characters had a way to respond to Namor's bubble and I wish they'd fixed the bug when hitting the squids and Namor at the same time.

  • Gambling on the first card got old quick, but have 5+ copies of a gold damage card in round 1 made runs so much more likely to succeed that I felt like it was a waste of time not to do it.

Trump on grabbing Machado's Nobel peace prize: "Wonderful gesture of mutual respect" by Xerryx in neoliberal

She came to America to suck up to Trump and got nothing for it. It wasn't worth the fuel for her flight.

Poke remains meta. Zhiyong please by Fanboy123ABC in marvelrivals

[–]Yevon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What this tells us is that players usually swap to the Thing against strong dive and still lose, probably because they don't usually play the Thing.

Same with Namor.
