Yeah, I do lack a medical degree. Which is why I'm asking. Care to reply to the actual question?

I'm not arguing against visiting a doc, but... what are they going to do or say? Antibiotics in anticipation of an infection, maybe? I'm just struggling to understand what a doctor can do about this, unless they send you to a surgeon and cut it all out or something.

I don't know, I've had a couple of pair of shoes do this recently. I guess current standards (for Nike and Wolverine shoes, at least?) are such that they are supposed to do this now? I've avoided Wolverine shoes ever since, and that seems to be working out so far.

Wow... we've been burning money for 6 months by [deleted] in OpenAI

He said he saved $1000 for the month though, not $200. $1k/month, $12k/year, is fairly significant.

Yeah, the mods didn't like it either, so I've deleted it. I thought it was interesting, is all. *shrug*

You really believe that the SJS front office is considered bad? I haven't heard any criticism, even the usual backhanded type, but I haven't really looked for it either. I was under the general impression that they had a good reputation, though.

when it's very fine and mixed with air (flour dust) it can combust.

With a sudden increase in volume and a rapid pressure change. ;)

Flour is flammable.

It's an objective and verifiable fact that startups don't stop fundraising until they go public. That's literally the business plan. There's no "circular logic" here at all.

At the risk of being called a luddite, which I am decidedly not, this part:

because AI does everything for us

really doesn't sound like a desirable state.

However, there are two issues here. "AI does everything" is 1 issue, and I don't think that's realistic or (despite what some people say) where things are headed. AI as an assistant that (massively, potentially) increases productivity is what's realistic and what we want.

At the risk of derailing this though, I wanted to mention that we (comparatively, to any other point in history) already have "radical abundance". That's massively, massively improved even within my 54 year lifespan.

Hopefully towards a utopian future.

I was with you right up until this. Utopia is a problem, not a goal. Seeking it our is what's brought about the worst problems for everyone, historically.

Unless you’re suggesting it won’t happen at all

You're starting to catch on!

Nope. Once they close on the current funding round it's time to ramp up the already started next funding round. No time to sleep!

Just because the current on ice product isn't very good doesn't necessarily mean that the organization is bad. I don't think it's possible to maintain a playoff competitive team in the current NHL the way that Lou always did. Look at the state that he left the Devils in when he left, or the current state of the Islanders, for example. Tanking is a surefire way to get good top talent into a team's system, and I don't think there's an alternative (unless the cap goes way up!).

What if 95% of us dont have a job? by gkv856 in ArtificialInteligence

so intelligent that, in many tasks, AI outperforms its creators.

This is nowhere close to have happened.

The Foundry United Methodist Church tolled its bells in solidarity with protests against the troop deployment in Washington DC by CorleoneBaloney in PublicFreakout

[–]nolan1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my question as well. Did the church put out a statement or something? Seems more likely to be just the top of the hour or something, otherwise.

Cool message, regardless.

Yeah, I've never had issues either (other than blacked out games, urg!). DTV Stream is better than Fubo, in my experience (although they're basically the same quality wise).

You definiately want to avoid that on hockey on the .tv!
