Investors have invested lots of money into these companies. This means in some form or another these companies have agreed to pay back these investors in some way. You can answer this by quite literally thinking of money like a river, and the motion of that river is what gives energy to businesses so they can do their things.

In a normal not-bubble market, there is a flow of cash that goes from investors, into the company, and then back out to investors so they can do other things with it.

In a bubble market a lot of cash is flowing into the company, but little or no cash is flowing out back to investors. There are two possible things that happen here, either the cash eventually starts flowing again and we’re all good back to normal after some stabilization period, or people stop pumping cash into the business and the dam breaks. All that money is lost, or all that potential business energy is lost, or some combination of the two no matter how you slice it it’s wasted effort.

To keep with the water metaphor the AI market is like a hose that’s wound up in a box we can’t see into. We’ve pumped a ton of water into this hose and haven’t seen anything come out the other end. There could be a leak somewhere, or maybe we don’t have enough water to even get through the hose and people will want to use their water for other things instead. One thing we do know is that we’ve devoted so much water to this operation that if something does go wrong it has to go wrong spectacularly.

Left is more natural. Evolution wouldn’t waste time lifting that much mass making the creature top heavy unless it had an absurdly good reason to.

These parasites man lmfao unreal. Propping up what industry exactly, their own subgenre of niche writing? Pretty sure the game developers, tech companies, and hardware manufacturers are the ones by far and large carrying the actual gaming economy.

It gives the boomers another chance to solidify their legacy as the worst generation in human history. In a way that helps all of us.

Win back? This country was bought and paid for long before any of us were alive. We keep fighting against the oligarhy for liberty and freedom like we’ve always done.

What “quarters” precious?

“Give up hope now before the pain of existence rips it away. Oh, also eat healthy, and do some light exercise daily that stuff is important too.”

This community allows blogposting? What’s the joke - randoms on the internet are assholes? Not a very strong punchline.

WWIII: Special Military Operation still going on. WWIII: Religious Extremism expansion pack just dropped. COVID: 2: Electric Boogaloo in some areas. Election year in like 4+ major countries. Multiple major entertainment failures across the board in multiple entertainment sectors. And major scandals to boot, most notably a massive media icon’s fall from grace via nice and friendly things like coercion, conspiracy to murder, human trafficking, etc.

Gee Kotaku idk. You would think a Japanese corporation’s failure and loss of revenue would be more important to American media outlets during an election year. Crazy how that managed to slip through the cracks.

Add a new currency called the buck which represents 1000 dollars. Over the next~200 years of inflation abolish the cent as a fraction of a dollar. When you reach a breaking point again, reintroduce a cent as a bill that represents 1000 bucks. Rinse and repeat every new inflationary super cycle.

Intel QA failing to audit third party suppliers properly is Intel’s fault.

Oh boy! I’m so excited to wait months for an update to a buggy mess for the update to simply adds a new texture for cans of beans and a new style of jeans.

To vastly oversimplify how genetics and embryonic development works, the “default” for humans is female and men have genetic codes that overwrites these defaults during fetal development. To put it more bluntly, males have extra code which females lack.

That could explain why sperm+sperm could theoretically work using a stem cell as a mediator to remove the excess code, while egg+egg can’t do the same because you’d need to manually scribe the extra genes directly.

You don’t need to do either. Qbits are still bounded by the laws of computation, and the planck supercomputers as described are already perfect computers with infinite bits since they can check a password of any length in a single Planck second of operation. There’s no speed advantage when going from an infinite number of things with unique states to a single thing with infinite states.

We already pay for this deadbeat’s free housing and now he wants American taxpayers to subsidize his medical needs on top of that? Lol no.

TAS runs are often are less about the challenge of beating a game and more about displaying mastery in knowledge and understanding of the game’s code.

Don’t be discouraged if you don’t get it right off the bat, even just casually viewing them requires a fundamental understanding of how games and computers work.

Both answers are correct. 20 years divides into 5 sets of 4, but that’ would only be 5 elections if you started counting on an election year.

That’s less than 10% of the country’s life. Just because you didn’t exist before you were born does not mean that others did not.
