  • What are you all using for a 2FA token manager?

  • I personally use Ente Auth and quite like it, don't use syncing and save an encrypted copy to my PC. I really like that you can see what the next code will be.

  • Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble

  • But I'm not saying the jobs lost by AI companies collapsing is gonna cause a recession, I'm saying the AI bubble collapsing, bringing down the stock market with it, will cause a recession and loss of jobs. 35% of the S&P is made up of stocks in the top 7 US tech firms. The stock market is extremely skewed towards these 7 firms, and a large part of their current evaulation is made up from speculation of potential AI returns. When the bubble bursts, everyone who is invested in these firms will feel it. As I said, the top 10% of Americans make up 50% of consumption, can't find a confirmation but I think that's the highest in modern history. If this 10% suddenly looses 30-40% of their wealth because a stock market crash, this consumption will be severely affected. They won't buy as many fancy goods, won't go on expensive vacations, in general will do much less. We can argue whether having a class of people like that benefits the economy or not, I'd say it doesn't, but the fact of the matter is that if the stock market were to crash because of AI companies, everyone is affected, because of how much money the 10% spend.

  • I don't understand what your point is? I'm merely expanding on OP's question and stating the fact that the way things are currently, when the AI bubble bursts poor people will feel it the most. Trickle down economics doesn't work because if you give 100 bucks to a rich person, they'll spend like 5 of it. If you give it to a poor person, they'll spend all of it. But that has nothing to do with the fact that if the bubble bursts right now, poor people aren't going to somehow get any of that money. They will loose their jobs, because the economy slowed down and nobody is buying anything and their jobs aren't needed anymore. They will just suffer more and rich people will buy up their houses that they now have to sell at bargain prices.

  • I agree, but that's just another factor, and it will also cause the stock market to crash, among other things.

    Also, the worst thing is he won't get American factories to be built. Maybe one or two, but no one in the right mind is going to relocate large amounts of manufacturing to the US when tariffs are coming in and out of effect all the time. Tariffs only work for increasing manufacturing if companies believe they will last a long time. If companies think a tariff will last a month or a year, there's no point in making a factory that will take two, three years to build and then five years to become net profitable, because by the time the factories finished and the tariffs are gone, everyone that still has a factory outside of the US will just out compeat that factory with lower prices.

  • You do realise that if 50% of consumption disappears then a lot of people from that 90% will loose their jobs as well. I don't care about the 10%, I also think the income inequality in the US is insane, but the fact is that if AI stocks tank right now, poor people will feel it as well (much more so than rich people, because they can't survive without a job and don't have wealth as a safety net)

  • One thing people didn't mention is that I'm pretty sure the top 10% of Americans by income make up 50% of consumption because of the heavily K shaped revovery that has happened. These Americans have a large percentage of their wealth in stocks, and if the stock market crashes, they will feel less wealthy and less willing to spend, decreasing their spending, tanking the US economy.

  • Looks like r/Lemmy was banned

    Jump

  • Ngl this is like YouTube is scared of Vimeo, they don't care at all. Lemmy is such a laughably small percentage of their user base that they probably couldn't care less.

  • I feel like it's a testing ground for new features for them, but not sure why some aren't yet integrated. Best guess: the PowerToys team has less red tape and checks to go through than the Windows team to allow for faster iteration, but that means that integrating the features wouldn't be just the click of a button since they'd have to adapt it to fit the Windows style. But this is just a wild guess.

  • Sure, I get the biology and technical aspect of it and I can understand that something could evolve whose atoms would move in such a way that it results in an object that is capable of responding dynamically to its roundings, plan and think. But for that collection of atoms to then result in this experience, I feel is extraordinarily exceptional.

  • The weirdest thing to me is that it's literally impossible to measure and detect whether something has consciousness. Every other thing in our universe can be measured theoretically, even if not by our current tools, but there is no way to confirm that someone else is experiencing what I am experiencing currently. It's just so weird.

  • I don't believe in God nor am I religious, but consciousness just feels so fucking weird man. Everything in the world can be explained through science and physics, cause and effect, hell even our brains and actions are just a chain of atoms interacting. But consciousness just feels so out of place. Why am I? Why am I even aware of my own existence? Why has a set of atoms resulted in my non-material consciousness? It feels so out of place. Why isn't it just a bunch of atoms bumping into eachother, why am I capable of feeling and thinking?

  • How would it look if you intermingled Hebrew and English in the path? E.g. C:\English\Hebrew\Hebrew\English\Hebrew

  • What are your thoughts on Smart Glasses?

    Jump

  • I don't think smart glasses are going to be completely standalone anytime soon. Chip technological progress has been relatively slow in the past years, and I think we're plateauing a bit with how much you can physically shrink transistors. Maybe there will be a technological breakthrough that will allow much more powerful chips at much smaller sizes, but I feel that's not gonna happen in any sort of near term. I think glasses are going to become companions for phones and that most processing will be done on phones. As for my thoughts on the glasses themselves, I don't really know what I think about them. I would be much more comfortable if they were completely locally processed without touching the cloud, but even then it is a bit weird to constantly have cameras looking at you all the time.

  • Israeli politicians react bitterly to international recognitions of Palestinian state

    Jump

  • Honestly, I don't see how either solution can work. In a two-state solution, Palestine doesn't look like it would be functional with those kinds of borders, and in a one-state solution, I don't see how there won't be extreme ethnic conflict after everything that's happened.
