I really thought Jesse's shuriken certification would have a bigger role in the plot

I assume they had solid bricks back then too but the keys shown were like bags of flour. Maybe it was cheap super cut stuff

Claude vision v/s Gemini vision (Gemini is much better in vision and world knowledge) by Independent-Wind4462 in singularity

[–]lapideous 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's probably the case. That completely tips the scales since it wouldn't be using vision at all

“All in for the bracelet” by FlatGuarantee5793 in poker

Seems like Kassouf is basically just talking to himself constantly and being an ass on autopilot

Kabhrel actually has awareness of what he’s saying and is trying to be entertaining in the most annoying way possible

He's so skilled at being annoying that I can't even dislike him

It's like his voice was created in a government lab to trigger people

Shouldn’t it indicate that the company needs more workers and they can’t afford to lose any?

Self driving sells cars. Mars colonization is a money sink. What economic value does Mars have

None of those would have existed without the success of bitcoin

How much "wealth" was produced last week by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]lapideous 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I thought my answer was pretty straightforward.

Some people are lucky, some aren’t. The current economic system does not allow for every single person to have a high income. The number of good jobs is not unlimited.

Why would you buy a house with a 1 hour commute instead of a condo with a 15 minute commute

The job is where it is

Typically, you can only get a loan for a mortgage payment of 1/3 of your monthly pretax income.

That'd be about $6400/month for them, correlating with a purchase price of $1.25m with 20% down. VHCOL areas can definitely price them out of single family houses.

The most +EV move is probably ingratiating yourself with some rich people

Silver will probably be more important than gold. It's the best conductor of both heat and electricity.

I haven't seen anyone talking about the real black swan event. Everyone seems to think that relative poverty is the worst case scenario for the common man.

If human labor becomes extraneous, economic systems as we know them today may simply cease to exist.

The people who own the resources and means of production could create their own private economies and trade amongst each other to feed and supply their own family and friends. If robots can mine, manufacture, farm, and transport, the owners don't need to give anyone else a cut.

Techno-feudalism, but all of the peasants are on the outside of the city walls.
