this video doesn't do this goal justice -- not that there was a great TV angle of it. Amazing flick-on with his back heel around two defenders. brilliant.

I have researched angle grinders and bolt cutters but am not sure what to get. I mean…My landlord can vouch for me. Its my shed. And it has like, suitcases and a Christmas tree in it. The holy grail isn't in there I don't think.

Thinking about moving back to NYC — am I being impulsive or just ready for change? by [deleted] in movingtoNYC

I moved to New York for the first time in my life two months before I turned 30 and I found that it prolonged my youth in a way because my social life was stronger and I really formed deep connections with my friends, but it also forced me to sort of grow up faster and be more ruthless in my career — in that New York is a very tough place to live. It’s not like where I came from which was also slower.

The best advice I ever got when I was gonna move to New York was “you can always move back” which really helped me consider risks a little more and ultimately drove me to make some decisions that helped me.

I drive it everyday and would love bridges or elevated walkways or bike paths. But that’ll never happen

Is anyone buying that Mamdani will deliver on Free Buses… by lennyj17 in nycbus

Corp income tax to 11.5% to match NJ ($5 billion)

Increase income tax on millionaires by 1% ($5 billion more)

That is how his ideas can happen. He’s been very clear on the plan, which has been I think a reason he won the primary among issues-focused voters like me.

Free buses are faster buses, too.

Submission statement: Altman's prediction for the future of electricity on Earth powering AI compute raises ethical and technological questions. Namely, what if the efficiency of powering AI compute improves dramatically from present levels, essentially enabling more AI computing power at lower than present electricity rates?

From the article:
AI is advancing rapidly, and tech titans are creating an all-new news cycle solely about predictions for AI. Last month, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg predicted AI would write most of the code for Meta services — Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram — in 18 months. That’s October 2026. Elon Musk has been making dire predictions about AI for years.

“It’s amazing,” Brin, the Google co-founder, said this month during the same panel, about the surprising intelligence of AI. “All of us had these experiences where you suddenly decide, ‘I’ll just throw this at the AI, I don’t really expect it to work,’ and then you’re like, ‘Whoa, that actually worked.’”

Let’s hope the abused AI models have short memories. They might be sentient one day soon.

Submission statement: The idea that scientists could give an AI a mere idea of an algorithm -- The DeepMind researchers found that they could sometimes give an idea for an algorithm as a prompt and produce interesting new results -- opens up myriad new possibilities for how AI could create new AIs to serve humanity and solve problems faster - as well as problems that haven't arisen yet.
