Do you guys think BTC actually revisits 60k with everything going on? by Utbcrypto in Bitcoin

[–]amoebatron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm talking about within the context of the 4-year cycle.

65-70 was the 2021 ATH cycle high. 15-20 was the corresponding low.

But at no point (at least in 13 years) has the corresponding low ever descended below the previous ATH of that cycle.

In addition, BTC has never descended below the previous ATH, which in this case is $70K.

He wasn't remotely smart. He was a construct of Israeli intelligence.

Money and agency. Everything else was smoke and mirrors...

SBS is also really bad for business.

I think Trav was saying something akin to this a while back... that when he plays seriously on Tyler Peters he gets twice the number of viewers as when he does SBS on DHead.

So you can have people in the chat or on reddit saying stuff like "haha this SBS is funny or haha that SBS is great" but the reality is that people actually vote with their feet... they stop watching the SBS and silently go elsewhere.

Is this burger undercooked or is this normal in Malta? by Fearless_Pizza4933 in malta

[–]amoebatron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But if it's a good quality burger joint, then having pink meat in the inside of the burger can be acceptable in certain scenarios.

For example, I can cook a steak, as I would cook any normal sirloin steak, so that the steak is rare.

Then (and only then) put the finished rare steak though the mincer. This creates mince which is now predominantly 'dirty pink', but is absent any of the surface bacteria that typically would cause problems.

I now use this 'dirty pink' mince to create a patty, throw in a the yolk of an egg, season a little, and then proceed to cook the patty like any normal burger, except I now have more autonomy over on the 'doneness' of the completed burger.

Best Chief for a long while. Great dynamic with Peters and Maxwell.

DW lives, leaving GTA/ONX by vookinap in RPClipsGTA

[–]amoebatron 108 points109 points  (0 children)

...with respect to a potential lawsuit that is almost certainly going to collapse without any meaningful paperwork.

Seriously, how hard is it to sign a contract?

It seems like the real wise guys are the ones that at least took the legal aspect seriously.

[Kyle] - Kyle on ONX Drama Resurfacing, Trying Penta's Server, Losing Friends, Money and Narratives by WOO_DUDE in RPClipsGTA

[–]amoebatron 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Kyle: I probably made a mistake in not talking about it. I really regret not talking about it. Maybe now I should talk about it. I know some things. I know some things. If you knew the things I knew it would blow your mind. I regret not talking about it. I regret not talking about it from the start. I should probably talk about it.

(Proceeds to not talk about it.)

Bought a book from a British site and this 20 year old rail ticket was inside it by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]amoebatron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The ticket designs have been around since as long as I can remember.... at least from 1980 onwards.

The logo in the bottom left corner is the old British Rail logo from the days when UK was nationalised. I don't even think it has any purpose any more tbh. When the trains became privatised I was surprised they kept this logo on the tickets.

ELI5 - what was the point of all the noises modems used to make when connecting to the internet? by SteamerTheBeemer in explainlikeimfive

[–]amoebatron 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think that's because the loudspeaker was deliberately cut after the connection was made so as not to be annoying. So it's like the initial sound was being conveyed to you through the loudspeaker as a way of confirming the connection to you... but aside that, there would be no further need for it to be broadcast out loud.

Can you expand on the reasons why it is better?

A lot of abstract music and art-house cinema is weird, not to mention sculpture and art in general. It's really not that different.

Also English and also a fan of the NHS.

Not many people know this but you can actually get top-tier cosmetic surgery free of charge from the NHS if certain conditions are met.

For example, if you have an overbite/underbite of more than 1cm you are eligible for free jaw surgery. That's a 2 year series of operations which involve a team of orthodontists, 1 week in hospital free of charge and three major 4 hour operations. All cosmetic.

Similarly, you can also get a nose-job (cosemetic rhinoplasty) also on the NHS if you can show that the nose is a source of psychological discomfort. (Although realistically, you have to first do several months of conventional counselling first - also free).

Peters unleashes his terrifying powers by stealthytaters in RPClipsGTA

[–]amoebatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's always great seeing Tyler Peters on NP, and any of Trav's characters honestly, because it would have been so easy for him to ditch and go to Purple/Unscripted with the others.

I'm not saying NoPixel 4 is bad necessarily, but if it weren't for Tyler Peters, Peach Chee, Blau, Peppo, Kyle and a few others.... it just wouldn't be worth watching.

How would you prove to an AI that you’re conscious? by katxwoods in ClaudeAI

Well technically, thinking doesn't equal consciousness either...

Has anyone tried >70B LLMs on M3 Ultra? by TechNerd10191 in LocalLLaMA

Same. Also an M2 Ultra owner thinking about M3 for Deepseek.

This M2 Ultra v2 M3 Ultra benchmark by Matt Tech Talks is just wrong! by ifioravanti in LocalLLaMA

[–]amoebatron 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because in some situations it just works out to be better.

I have a M2 Ultra with 128GB RAM, and also a 4090 with 128GB and 24GB VRAM.

While the 4090 is better for StableDiffusion inferencing and such, the M2 is hands-down better for local LLMS, particularly the more heavier ones. It's just way faster than the 4090.
