  • Mattel Plans “Bold” New Thomas the Tank Engine in Franchise Relaunch

    Jump

  • Well, it is a kids show, for kids, with no history of knowing glances to the parents. I find it weird with action shows like transformers but this has always been twee at least, if not cutesy.

  • In the context of human energy use it's also extremely simplified. Energy in can be measured in terms of food, but that assumes all calories are absorbed. It also assumes exact efficiency. It assumes average energy use etc.

    As weight loss drugs show, for many who struggled with weight loss before, it's also important how the body uses, stores and distributes the energy.

    Sure, no energy is created or destroyed, but dietary makeup, hormones, metabolism gut motility, gut biome, etc all have an effect in the process.

  • Nvidia CEO pushes back against report that his company's $100B OpenAI investment has stalled

  • Being pushed there or going there naturally, it's still moving that direction.

  • If ai allows the improvements hoped for, it's likely to increase productivity for humanity just like all other major advances did.

    It's politics and laws that decide who benefits from it. Under our current systems, wealthy people and corporations benefit, but likey we'll see increasing taxes on ai output and increases in ubi type schemes for people.

    AI is a bubble currently but it is an advancement in tech that provides benefit. Just nowhere near the benefit to be actual intelligence.

    Human jobs get eliminated by new tech all the time. This just has and will be rapid, which leads to upheaval. Unfortunately, it's precisely at a time when the world is already moving towards war and authoritarianism, so it's particularly bad timing.

  • Is there any Fediverse project aimed at creating a safe space for kids to interact within?

    Jump

  • Or even any foss projects with social parts that are kid safe.

    I'd love to let my kid play daily Scrabble with his grandma overseas with chat. However, .ost games seem to be open to all or closes to chat completely. There is no middle ground.

  • Trump Sues IRS for $10 Billion

  • The dead people would also disagree if they could.

    The allies of america would disagree.

  • UK: Should artists get a basic income like they do in Ireland?

    Jump

  • The Irish version is already happening. However not everyone will get it.

  • UK: Should artists get a basic income like they do in Ireland?

  • Yes, but if we start with jobs that don't always pay well and benefit us all, that's a good start. We can add more over time. Then we can stop calling them jobs.

  • Videos show altercation between Alex Pretti and federal officers 11 days before he was killed

    Jump

  • It makes it look like they were seeking vengeance, rather than paint him as an agitator. They are incompetent, though, so maybe their plan is just bad.

  • Erika Kirk Under Fire As Husband's Pal Leaks Audio Of Her 'Giggling' About 'Event Of The Century' After His Death

    Jump

  • Yes but even if it is a conscious decision and she doesn't or didn't care about him, there's nothing illegal about it. It's just unseemly. She should be able to do as she pleases, no different to any other awful grifter. It's not really news. It's gossip.

  • As much as they are both (all 3 actually) are horrible people, there's nothing nefarious in her not grieving how people want her to.

    Perhaps she doesn't care. Perhaps she does, but sees an opportunity and can suck it up. Perhaps she does and she is using work to distract herself. Perhaps she does and it comes out differently. Perhaps she does and shes good at acting like nothing is wrong.

    It's all just a distraction story.

  • Yeah

    Jump

  • Well, no. Raising awareness has changed sentiment and now they are pulling back. They are scaring voters and their propaganda is failing.

  • in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention

    Jump

  • Well, why not look at the best food that wins awards. We don't have Michelin stars here, but a local system of chefs hatted restaurant. Here is a list for New South Wales, where I live. These will generally be more expensive but should show the best of what's on offer without doxxing me, lol.

  • IMF prepares for global run on US dollar

    Jump

  • Are you talking about individuals or states at this point? Or varies for each and I agree, outside their borders, for states, it is riskier. However, they are shuffling their hokdings to manage that risk. As are people, which was my point.

    I don't think they messed up by trusting the US. It was safe and stable for a prolonged period. They fucked up by not recognizing the risk once trump term 1 started.

  • IMF prepares for global run on US dollar

    Jump

  • Yes, but some have transferred the bullion to holdings in the uk and Germany. And those countries have too.

    A lot is in the USA, but not all. Holding an asset, even in a failed country (which is highly unlikely, by the way) is still a viable asset.

    The fact that you think the USA could claim privately held assets as government property is precisely why some people want to hold gold rather than cash in an account which can be seized digitally.

  • IMF prepares for global run on US dollar

    Jump

  • No, but with the dollar there is the dual risk of dumping and printing. Gold is not ties to any nation or political ideology. If your gold is located in a particular country, it is subject to the risk on the ground, of course, but it can be moved or exchanged relatively easily. Some gold has been doing just that as people shuffle their wealth around.

  • IMF prepares for global run on US dollar

    Jump

  • Of the us dollar loses value, the government can " print " more to make their payments. That makes it worth less as it devalues and can lead to hyper inflation. All the while, others may dump dollars devaluing it more.

    With gold, of it's price drops, you can just create more out of thin air. There is a set amount. Gold has inherent value as a rare metal, however most of its value currently is due to it's scarcity making it a good store of value.
