  • James Talarico wins Democratic primary for US Senate in Texas

    Jump

  • This is one of the things that gives me the most hope for him as a candidate. He is (imo) a great public example of how to a person of faith in politics. I think setting this example will have a large impact on US politics as a whole. I think there are a ton of Christians that would break with Trump in a heartbeat given the choice between a Talarico and a Christian nationalist (as unfortunate as that scenario is).

  • Switzerland to pay EU €375m annually for free movement and single-market access

    Jump

  • Yup! They can pay less too. They could pay nothing! Or they could not have this agreement at all. Lots of possibilities.

    Seems pretty beneficial to everyone. EU gets more money to accomplish EU objectives at almost no cost. Swissy benefits from market access with less barriers. What is the actual value to each institution? That's a tough question. What they found is a value that works for both.

  • Same as it ever was

  • I've known a fair amount too and they always over leveraged themselves. As soon as they had enough for another down payment they would purchase another property. It could have been a different strategy or situation than the landlords you know. To the landlords I knew having aapartment vacant for two months was a serious financial issue.

  • Same as it ever was

    Jump

  • Most are absolutely living month to month, not out of necessity, out of greed. Most have taken out many mortgages and are just passing the monthly rent from tenant to bank. Why pay off a property when you can just use that money as a down payment for a new property?

  • Zohran pulls through

    Jump

  • Just wanted to add some clarity on the term Persian. Persian is an ethnicity, the majority ethnicity in Iran. So one could be Iranian (citizenship) and Persian (ethnicity), or Australian (citizenship) and Persian (ethnicity).

  • Now that the DOW is below 50,000, are we allowed to care again?

    Jump

  • It's a useless metric for the state of the stock market. It's used because it has been around forever and people hate change.

    Why is it useless? It is calculated by tracking 30 companies on the stock market and pretty much adding up their current stock price. This is a meaningless metric because you could have one company that is worth $100 that offers two shares of stock, each worth $50. Another company worth $100 chooses to have 50 shares of stock each worth $2.

    The companies are the same value, but their stock price is vastly different. Let's say they're both on the DOW list of 30 companies. When the first company doubles in value, so does it's stock price. Now the company is with $200 and the stock is worth $100. That means the dow increased by 50.

    When the second company doubles in value, it's stock also doubles to $4. Now the DOW increases by a value of 2...

    This is why the DOW is useless. It's intent is to measure the general trend of the stock market, but with the two examples above it clearly fails at doing that. There are many better stock market indexes that provide a more reliable insight intoarket trends, the S&P 500 for example. The DOW is meaningless and anyone who is using it as a reference for the health of the stock market is an idiot.

    Anyone using it to talk about the health of the economy overall is out of their gord and should be in the loony bin.

  • OpenAI's Planned Cash Burn

  • Oh sweet summer child, he will have no personal debt on failure, only personal profit on success.

  • OpenAI's Planned Cash Burn

    Jump

  • "If we can just make an AI that can overthrow humanity it won't matter how much cash we burn!"

    Anyone else have this unsettling feeling we are in the hibernation period of "If Anyone Builds it, Everyone Dies"? The post containment breach but pre openly operating phase. Is there some force pushing more resources towards AI than is rational? Is this bubble human greed and stupidity, or is there something else at play?

  • fully autonomous

    Jump

  • Thank you for the insight and write up.

    On a completely unrelated note, this type of online conversation is what makes me most pessimistic about LLMs. I'm fairly certain Chozo is a human, but as time goes on it will become much more likely companies will have bots crawling all social media looking for conversations like this as a standard part of their PR team. It will make it impossible to discern truth from hallucination and ultimately just erode trust in everything. It's such a bleak future.

  • Violence erupts after Mexican security forces kill drug cartel boss ‘El Mencho’

    Jump

  • The operation was carried out by Mexico. US supplied intelligence, assumed location information. Characterizing this as the US murdering someone outside it's borders is disingenuous and really just a false statement.

  • Why is #FFFFFF white, but mixing red green and blue paint is black?

  • This was a fantastic ELI5. Thank you for your effort in writing this up.

  • but my narrative

    Jump

  • Precisely. The original post shows there could still be labor willing to do the work, but it does does not address how that work would be funded. Even if the labor was free there are resources required to build and maintain that plant that are not free. Where do those resources come from?

  • Shorts are unintended low impedance paths.

    it's just an incredibly tiny amount

    Indicates you are not describing a short.

    Sure, there is technically current flowing, but it is small enough to be considered an open circuit for engineering purposes. There is leakage current for every insulator, we don't call it a short.

  • Generated Lessons

    Jump

  • I think of it as outsourced intuition. It provides a first gut feeling response to the question based on what the Internet would say. That can be useful if you need a starting point. It very rarely should be an ending point.

  • Capitalism is a zero sum game, for one to gain wealth it must be extracted from another

    This is just not true. There are plenty of valid criticisms of capitalism, there's no need to use false statements.

  • Professors Are Being Watched: ‘We’ve Never Seen This Much Surveillance’

  • In addition, the generation of knowledge is inherently a progressive trait. It acknowledges that we don't have all the answers but with effort we can find them and that we will need to change our world view to accept them.

    Conservatism is the resistance to change, putting value in tradition over novel ways of thinking. It is antithetical to knowledge generation.

    This means institutions that are designed to generate knowledge will not foster conservative ideals.
