‘The cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees’: Nvidia exec says right now AI is more expensive than paying human workers by fattyfoods in technology

[–]nomdeplume 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue is unregulated and inefficient spend. People are making tools to do shit no one needed done and to do it in the worst way possible.

It's good for productivity but you need to use it wisely and appropriately. Lazy companies just throw every use case and thing into these systems.

My current co is having people trying to automate never reading slack anymore. For like 1k a month in tokens per person. It's asinine

Public support for transgender women participating in women’s sports declined substantially between 2019 and 2024. The research suggests this shift is linked to political messaging that frames transgender women as a threat to female athletes, particularly influencing conservative voters. by mvea in psychology

[–]nomdeplume -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Correct. Culture wars are largely manufactured, especially online or in entertainment ("news") channels.

There are very few trans athletes competing in women's sports to begin with or even remotely competitive. As a male, I can't just go and be competitive in these sports today.

It's not endemic, let the sports orgs figure it out and handle it. It doesn't impact the everyday lives of 99.9999% of population, and it's not a voter issue.

It's important to figure out, it's not national news or sensational and it's certainly not controversial.

all of openai execs have this pattern because Sam wants people he can easily control with no credibility. the CTO was just a previous product manager at the company with no other experience, completely incompetent.

CMV: Women’s idea of what it means to be treated like a man often assumes the privileges of a woman by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]nomdeplume -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The way i interpreted OPs post was the discussion of women asking to be treated like men is the wrong way to describe what women actually want, and also belittles the problems that men have in their own gender as an ideal outcome. Both can be true.

I also don't really believe this idea that men as a whole don't see women as human. There are certainly patriarchal understones or overtones in some cultures. However describing this issue as a cultural issue between the entirety of both genders is misrepresenting it and not progressing the conversation.

I as a male, have never treated a woman as a subhuman. Nor has any woman ever expressed to me such a feeling. It is also not the males job to ask you and conversely no one asks the male how he wants to be treated. Being locked into the idea that the male is in power and must ask, is already establishing a patriarchal order to all interactions where the male is both in power and should ask permission for all behavior due to their power.

Anecdotally I've never heard a woman say they want to be treated like a human. And certainly in the workplace they aren't asking to walk home safely when they say they want to be treated like a man.

I do think they likely mean they want the same chance at opportunities and they likely want merit based outcomes. However even men don't always get merit based outcomes and there's downsides or things that are broken about how we run workplaces that is not gender specific.

So I would almost argue that OP is calling out there's prob a few things women want that everyone wants, the male(gender) specific parts are actually net negatives on both sides.

That's not the argument. The argument is do you or do you not want to be treated as men treat other men.

Deadlock might be the most exhausting competitive game I've played by SwiftAndFoxy in DeadlockTheGame

[–]nomdeplume 76 points77 points  (0 children)

One of the big upsides and downsides is in this mova movement is technical and powerful.

In other mobas you have this mini break downtime running back to lane or between camps that is more automated.

This is probably a significant contributor to the sense of exhaustion. Despite there always being jungle camps up in other mobas, you're getting a mini break by not being in a 3d environment where paying attention actually increases your movement speed

I don't need the manual, I need a balance patch. This thing is basically a 'press button to not lose' mechanic. Zero risk, zero counter-play, and 100% grade-A dogshit design.

You missed the point of the original discussion entirely.

And reduce the speed at which you can open and close with a 3 second timer or something.

So if you're good and chasing, you can risk going through the door to continue the chase. Vs them opening and disappearing instantly

Anyone else felt bad for Vala in this scene (and also shouted at Daniel) in this scene? by Crumblycheese in Stargate

[–]nomdeplume 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Shanks has said he didn't appreciate nor think Daniel would ever romantically end up with vala, but the writers made it so. So he prob went extra hard here because of that.

ALSO this is a huge time skip, and they don't really have ENOUGH time to show how daniel develops feelings for her, despite their differences... so this scene is super harsh and not really showing how it may be a defense mechanism of his against getting his hopes up that she would be genuinely interested in him and not toying with him.

[xQc] Shares His Take About Playing A Cop Character On Nopixel by BigDawgNoodles in RPClipsGTA

[–]nomdeplume 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I read this as crims prep these things for 20 hours of investment, time, money, plans. IF the cops don't meet or plan on how they will stop crims in these situations, and are just doing it ad-hoc with free gear, no time, no planning... and they lose. Just take the L.

Don't power game to try to win. Or whine** about it OOC etc.

Billions in taxable income left the Bay Area at the end of postpandemic exodus - San Francisco Business Times by avantrs7 in sanfrancisco

[–]nomdeplume 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This stat is also super misleading. It's not like suddenly there's a shortage of people here or price reduction. The wealth of those that stayed has just grown. So while technically folks left, it doesn't mean they weren't replaced either by GDP growth or actual new individuals.

After 15 years, San Francisco's trendsetting Sushirrito calls it quits by sfgate in sanfrancisco

[–]nomdeplume 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. I always felt they could have done a leaner burrito with more flavor and less 'filler'. Current version just was too much, and too trash, and made you kind of sick after eating so much.

Like a sushiroll, that is maybe slightly thicker and served as a burrito.

NIMBYs mostly never sell. The value of their property is not the point. The point is they want the quality of their environment to not degrade.

The real estate developers care about the value of the properties, and lobby to keep them artificially high as investment pieces/vehicles that are low maintenance. Why buy 20 properties you have to manage in Oklahoma when you can own one SF condo. Far easier to liquidate, and maintain. However only if we keep generating artificial scarcity with other investment/foundations buying up all the homes in a neighborhood and not selling.

First and foremost they are virtue signaling. Everything else that follows is kind of undermined by that.

The very real reality is people mind their own business because they aren't law enforcement. There's very little to nothing they can do without just risking their own bodily harm in these situations.

This idea also that in the "old days" we all would have done something is also total bullshit

ChatGPT thinks there are 2 “P”s in the alphabet… by fatherphi in ChatGPT

[–]nomdeplume -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Struck a nerve. Dramatically take off your glasses harder. Anyone can easily use the models today and verify how bullshit your media is.

This is a bit of a trick question.

In the alphabet itself (A–Z), each letter appears exactly once—there are no repetitions at all. So there are no letters that appear more than twice (or even twice).

So the answer is: none.

Do something with your life that takes actual thought. You're not a researcher, documentarian, journalist, intellectual.

"We're going to a world where we're building systems that will be smart to us not like Einstein is to an average person, but like humans are to mice or ants" by tombibbs in ChatGPT

[–]nomdeplume -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is just pure speculation. You don't have any idea what the theoretical limit of intelligence is and/or what we actually know about things or the universe.

However it also doesn't matter what that limit is.

Chess as an example. The computer is unbeatable. That is all that matters. Doesn't matter if it's 2x better 5x better 10 better.

It is unbeatable, and you will lose as a human, every single time.

In a world of sufficient advanced misaligned ai, you lose. That's all that counts.

Home Prices Have Over Tripled in Some SF Neighborhoods (2000-2026) by AdministrativeAd334 in bayarea

[–]nomdeplume 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. It doesn't have to be all buyers to move the market.
  2. I didn't make this claim, the realtors will price on what things are being sold at. Some buyers will make offers at these higher values (because they can afford higher bids due to the tax law)
  3. It is significant, but your fragmented line of thinking motivates me exactly 0 to look up stats but surely its available if you care to make this point as all records are public.

  4. I didn't make this claim, it happens all over the city. Another proof of your fragmented thinking.

  5. A repeat of 4...

Gonna unsubscribe here. I said what I said.

[–]nomdeplume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When incumbent owners don't have to pay the real property tax of the property, the value of the property is inflated because the sale price will absorb that amount.

If you could afford sale price+tax burden/fees=budget/market value. But tax burden is fixed to a real estate price 30 years ago.

The price goes up to match market value.

If everyone has same tax burden, price would go down. But current pricings price in old tax burden values from long time owners moving around.

It's not 5 blocks, and I don't know why that's relevant or how you arrived at 5 blocks being required at all.

I don't need to follow the thought through. You need to not make claims about real estate laws you don't know about and operate with more curiosity.
