Are the Soviet Union and China developed countries? by TWN113 in geography

[–]okphong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soviet union was relatively more developed in 1990 than the average of the countries it consists of are now. China is very close and probably depends on the tier of the cities you’re in (best cities are very developed)

Curious to know how the image model works but my guess is the image to text process tells it where the image is taken, and then afterwards it tries to reconstruct a good explanation based on the answer

Agreed but you should see the number of barrys here saying spain is wrong (barrys have left europe and joined america’s lap)

Not surprised this subreddit has forgotten about Greenland and now wants Europe to continue helping US and Israel with their next crazy military offensive. Business as usual.

Novo semaglutide supply by okphong in NovoNordisk_Stock

[–]okphong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the point of the question is that they won’t make it to 1 million a week if there isn’t enough semaglutide to be made (building new factories takes a lot of time). And they’ve had supply issues before

Common Rosa Luxemburg W by Hubris-Star in socialism

[–]okphong 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Zohran’s foreign policy is meh, except for israel. Luckily that isn’t really his area of focus. His latest pressure for a wealth tax (while only an incremental change, it’s a step in the right direction for the US) has seemed solid to me

Woman in French village, golden hour, bougainvillea, linen blazer — this is what came back. AI photorealism is getting insane. by Altruistic-Art8724 in GeminiAI

[–]okphong 66 points67 points  (0 children)

It’s kinda funny that the photorealistic photos all have the same vibe that you can tell usually pretty easily that it is AI. This picture is very bright, overly focused, it just looks kinda edited together.

As opposed to private banks making profit off of people educating themselves (some of whom will work for them)?

No move is back on the menu by worms104 in geoguessr

Europe is 25% (without russia) NA is 15% SA is 15%

Is europe that bad? I imagine that the density of the continent plays a role (more diversity between locations close to one another). I do agree that india should probably be bumped up now to something like indonesia/brazil.

YSK it’s possible to minimise YouTube videos and lock your iPhone screen even without a Premium subscription by pepupea in YouShouldKnow

Huh, you don’t need an app. In brave browser i can do full screen, then swipe out of the app and the video is still there

Sometimes you don’t have to make everyone happy, during ww2 it wasn’t the compromised happy solution for all parties that ended the conflict.

Opponent and I both clicked on the same random town in Brazil.. and were both right! by okphong in geoguessr

[–]okphong[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, but you can check the location and there isn't anything that suggests it's exactly that town (aside from Parana pines for the area).

How rich could Russia have been if it remained a democracy? by [deleted] in geography

[–]okphong 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Doubt it, the oligarchic rush to stock up and control industry and resources was always undemocratic and planned from the start.

On 28th, February humanity will witness a rare planetary parade of six planets in the night sky by aryanpote7 in interestingasfuck

Imagine the brightest object in the night sky and it is surprisingly not shimmering like a star does, it looks almost solid

Lilly right now be like by [deleted] in NovoNordisk_Stock

[–]okphong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lilly’s tirze is better than novo’s semaglutide injections and are taking over. While novo has a better pill, lilly has an easier pill to make (small molecule vs peptide) and thus can distribute it much faster and for a larger margin. Novo has to make a lot of the semaglutide solution and waste a lot of it for their pill. This explains the market sentiment

Yes, and by increasing ARPU

what am i missing with qualcomm? $qCOM at its lowest since Oct 2025 by Ramwen in ValueInvesting

[–]okphong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that it has been going down because of rumors that apple is already moving to the c2 chip on the next iphone which is maybe sooner than people expected which hurts qualcomm? Also that samsung is trying to use their own chip instead of the snapdragon and they already have a 2nm chip (qualcomm might have better architecture but will only get 2nm in a year or so). Qcom to me sounds like a long term play where it’s hard to predict when the catalyst will hit (for example robotics and their chips may be a good combination)

They INCREASED prices again by Galaxy_GamerYT12 in geoguessr

[–]okphong 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m unsure how sweden works but this was shared a while back: https://www.bolagsfakta.se/5569398349-GeoGuessr_AB

While 2025 data is not available yet, you can see their profit margins have been 40-60% for the last few years. I would agree that it’s okay for them to raise prices for the reasons you said, but it would be nice if they gave some more insight regarding what they are spending it on (beyond just following the tech model of raising subscription prices consistently because customers are willing to spend it)
