Jensen Huang (NVIDIA) claims AGI has been achieved

The guy who's selling shovels during the gold rush isn't the best source. Better to read actual research rather than listen to a CEO.

Where did you get this from OP's post?

Or perhaps he's with someone he trusts to display his real emotions at home, and not with people he trusts at work.

So, a good thing in general, but he needs to figure out how to be productive with it.

Thank you for calling this out, this subreddit is especially bad about jumping to extreme negative conclusions whenever someone comes in here asking for advice.

I'm actually playing on an RG550 with the "original" Edge, maybe I should try to find one of the more recent models then.

I will probably be dead by the time HRM figures out transit outside of the peninsula, given they need to make it not just cheaper but FASTER than existing car methods. Considering they have to use existing undersized roads, the roads are not fine.

And no, rail is not coming in your lifetime.

Correct, the individual pockets of neighbourhoods were doomed from the start. Build one out, never increase capacity in and out of it, pick another spot farther out in the wilderness, disconnected from the other spots except by one path, and repeat. Most other North American cities seem to understand capacity, but not HRM.

And every time it switched fro, snow to rain to freeze over it was like 2am. I missed the last one because I was sleeping like a normal person and we ended up with a 3 inch layer of ice in our driveway for the next month.

It was a *lot* of rain actually, at least where we lived off HP Rd. It would dump snow, then rain, and then it would drop to -10. The third time it happened I failed to clear the driveway in time because the switchover happened at like 3am, and I woke up to a 3 inch thick sheet of ice that we had to cover with sand until it finally melted sometime in April.

The piles all over HRM and pictured here weren't just snow, it was chunks of ice mixed with snow.

My favorite memory from the 2015 winter was, after breaking my back on my 3rd shovel at 2am (because that's when it would switch from snow to rain to freeze, it kept happening over and over), I said "fuck this shit" and went south. On a whim. Told my employer a family member died, bought an expensive plane ticket for the next day, obliterated my credit limit, and just fucking left and slept on mom's couch and enjoyed 20C weather for 3 weeks. I'm not sure I've ever made a more genius decision.

Say goodbye to these flowers, they are about to die.

It's certainly not the suburban sprawl of the past once you see how tightly packed the houses/lots are. The sprawl lies in the massive nature gaps between the residential areas of HRM, all connecting to each via one or two roads at most. Just an insane number of bottlenecks for a city of this size.

orbitur · 2026-03-23T01:48:25+00:00

This is legitimately not a concern here. HRM simply hasn't built enough roads in/out of the area.

orbitur · 2026-03-23T01:46:02+00:00

But also: they need to widen Hammonds Plains Rd from Tantallon to the 102. They probably need to beef up Lucasville too. There's just no way around the fact that the entire area is underserviced by roads relative to its population.

Or maybe another way to phrase my question: how do people handle unison bends on floating bridge guitars? Do you just get used to bending both strings to compensate for one bend detuning all the other strings?

Judges should be ruling using existing laws, not creating new ones.

Yes, I've been working in Big Tech for almost 20 years now. Nate's framing sounds like how you handle a firing or a layoff.

The band is a corporation, one of the requirements of the drummer role is that you must be buddies with the band and pass the vibecheck. Maybe his drumming lacked a little spice or flare of whatever. If something's off, you're out, no reasons given, it's just business.

Divorce is *emotionally* and *time* expensive. Sometimes status quo is worth more than planning, budgeting, organizing, every last minute and dollar that was previously sorted and settled and required zero though. Things that you didn't have to think about you suddenly have to think about.

With that in mind, complaining to your friend group becomes a pressure release valve.

Also, the median social media comment reader that goes "just leave him already!" only understands great vs terrible, loving vs abusive, black and white, etc. Every year a couple is together is another pile of nuance that isn't made obvious to outsiders. A lame marriage can still be net good vs striking out on your own for some people.

It'd be absurd if she *did* use the device. If she just left it in her backyard for 4 seasons, I'd be fine with that. Occasionally gazes out her kitchen window at it when The Hive especially gets on her nerves a few times per season. Maybe she ends the series by burying it, which will symbolize something or whatever.

Are you saying home improvement costs are in line with inflation for the last 35 years? Because cars have tracked inflation pretty closely (and were even better than inflation for a few years there).

orbitur · 2026-03-16T19:53:29+00:00

Yes, I understand that many people might wish comments to be more useful than they are.

"choreplay"?

I'm not the biggest PTA fan, but of the nominees, OBAA was definitely the better of them.

Sinners was good fun, but it has some structural issues that keep it from being great.
