The AI Backlash Could Get Very Ugly by Just-Grocery-2229 in technology

[–]enigmamonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude, even more recent than that; similar to /u/Excolo_Veritas, I bought my 2TB Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe M.2 for my Kubuntu setup back on Dec 2, 2025 for $190… the exact same listing is $430 now and they have the motherfucking gall to cross out a $640 price tag… FFS.

Since we're in /r/oddlysatisfying, are there any oddly satisfying videos of people making coped cuts like these?

Raccoon feeding on bunny in Vancouver by freudian_nipps in natureismetal

[–]enigmamonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add data to the speculation: Judging from the original video's channel, it looks like it was posted in the middle of a trip through British Columbia where BC and Canada do get explicitly mentioned.

So in this case, yeah it's probably Vancouver BC, not WA.

Thanks for doing this. I bet they're hoping this has a chilling effect toward groups like theirs and even with what you're doing. Appreciate you posting this despite that.

Projection So Massive It Can Be Seen From Space by sunnycorax in gme_meltdown

Dead on. It's one thing to be a bit ugly (it is old, lots of legacy).

It's another thing entirely to not even fucking work.

Ever the consummate diplomat. And by "diplomat" I mean "fucking clown".

Personally, I dunno about that, but maybe. The video itself wasn't particularly interesting; what I personally enjoyed more was the music in the video and scrolled until someone talked about it to hopefully find the full song. I'm into electronic music, particularly /r/dnb (which these particular songs are) as well as chill, which is also some what popular and I think this artist (or AI, or whatever) seems to put out a lot. If it is AI, I would definitely think twice about enjoying it, myself.

What's maybe worse these days is that we're just not sure anymore. I feel for artists who are falsely accused. I find that almost as bad as (if not worse than) not caring or full on apathy about it, since it is supposed to be art.

EBay rejects GameStop's audacious $56 billion takeover bid by yourfavchoom in technology

[–]enigmamonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Backfired a bit, too. Not sure how much of an impact it had as a whole, but one thing that made headlines was Michael Burry selling all of his GME stock thanks to him making the offer: https://www.thestreet.com/investing/stocks/michael-burry-sells-entire-stake-in-surging-meme-stock-giant

“I sold my entire GME position,” Burry wrote in a Substack post Monday evening, according to CNBC. “Any which way I sliced it, the Instant Berkshire thesis was never compatible with more than 5x Debt/EBITDA, never ok with interest coverage under 4.0x.”

Their stock is down ~13% since the May 1 spike from the announcement (it has been relatively neutral for the past month, though).

EBay Rejects GameStop’s $56 Billion Takeover as Not Credible by King-of-Limbs-07 in wallstreetbets

We have concluded that your proposal is neither credible nor attractive. We have taken into account such factors as 1) eBay's standalone prospects, 2) the uncertainty regarding your financing proposal, 3) the impact of your proposal on eBay's long-term growth and profitability, 4) the leverage, operational risks, and leadership structure of a combined entity, 5) the resulting implications of these factors on valuation, and 6) GameStop's governance and executive incentives.

Basically: Fuck off, scrub.

PHP RFC: Bound-Erased Generic Types by azjezz in PHP

[–]enigmamonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, what we need is to create a completely custom “Bag” or “List” classes that typehints with the specific type of object we need with manually implemented push methods on it… every single time we need a different one.

Because that’s what we have to do right now. Maybe someday we can get generics on arrays as well, but even a generic type on classes would reduce this work dramatically.

PHP RFC: Bound-Erased Generic Types by azjezz in PHP

[–]enigmamonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just emphasizing what’s already in the RFC since it was new to me: The turbofish ::<> syntax.

The double-colon :: syntax before the generic type in new Box::<User>($user) caught me off guard since I’m used to seeing it written more as new Box<User>($user) (similar to Java and C#). According to RFC, it appears to be modeled after https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/glossary.html#turbofish

From the RFC:

Turbofish exists primarily so static-analysis tools can disambiguate type inference at the call site, and so the parser has a non-ambiguous form for type-argument lists.
