  • Unemployed workers outnumber available jobs for first time since 2021

  • This is a great point, and one I overlooked. Thanks for sharing!

  • Well if the crops are going bad, you don't need to hire the truckers to move the produce, you don't need to hire the grocers to sell the produce, and you don't need to hire the chefs to cook the produce.

    The article doesn't address this though, rather:

    Job openings decreased in health care and social assistance by 181,000, in arts and entertainment by 62,000, and in mining and logging by 13,000.

    Which doesn't say that it's directly related. Health care and entertainment jobs reducing is probably more indicative of Americans spending less on discretionary spending either because of economic hardship or the expectation of economic hardship.

    Mining and logging losses could be tariff related, or possibly in response to softening demand for primary inputs.

  • Tesla sales plunge 40% in Europe as Chinese EV rival BYD's triple

  • Today down 1.37%, but up 7.14% overall for the week.

  • Supply chain crisis will 'get a lot worse' with rail mega-merger: Railroad workers explain

    Jump

  • Isn't that kind of the point though? If the supply chain crisis is worse, then the railroad companies can charge even more for cargo, and also pay workers much less since there's fewer competitors.

    It's about maximizing profit, not prosperity.

  • [Combat] The first publicly released video showing the launch of a Ukrainian-made Flamingo cruise missile.

  • Yes. I very much hope that Russia will cease its naked aggression and unlawful invasion of a sovereign nation, which has caused all of this bloodshed and suffering.

    Example of Ukrainians suffering under Russian leadership:

  • Trump says Ukraine needs to make a deal after summit with Putin ends without ceasefire

    Jump

  • The Russian war goals include an annexation of the entirety of Ukraine and a genocide of the entire Ukrainian populace.

    I don't think giving in to that will lead to less suffering, it will lead to dramatically more suffering.

  • Here's a great video comparing the alternatives:

    My thoughts from it were 5 or 4 are likely the best balance of cost for public good. 6 is the best long-term option, but the most expensive, and 1 and 3 cost basically the same as 4 and 5, but are just far less effective in terms of improving ridership.

  • For better or worse, humans are very good at anthropomorphizing things. Put Googly Eyes on a trash collector and people call it Mr. Trash Wheel.

    People think it's sentient, because if you talk to it, it responds in sometimes unexpected ways. For humans, this is only possible through sentient thought, and so people think that LLMs are sentient, because they assume it's like them.

  • Given how the primary role of these consultants is to ultimately agree with the management's point of view, using an agreeable LLM seems much more cost effective.

  • Dragon Fruit Flower Update

    Jump

  • It kind of looks like ours. The flower only blooms for a very short time and then dies out, so the flower dying like this seems normal to me.

    I don't know if there's a way to tell if it will bear fruit except just waiting, which is probably not comforting.

  • It's also weird because if they get rid of Elon then people would start looking at the actual fundamentals of Tesla which would lead to a much much lower stock price. In December, Tesla was valued at roughly the same as the rest of the worlds auto manufacturers combined, despite selling only 3% of the worlds cars in 2023.

  • Elon Musk blames 'IP addresses in Ukraine' after X hit by cyber attack

    Jump

  • I agree. The thing is also that Ukraine has absolutely no motive to carry out a DDOS of Twitter.

    What would the positive outcome even be? Piss off the leader of the country that your asking for money/weapons?
