I thought this was about Nvidia not having competition.

Right. It’s way cheaper to connect cell towers than residences.

There’s no way we’re going to be laying down fiber to reach all or even most US residences.

Satellite and wired internet are not the future.

The future is to just use our phones and cell towers.

Don’t forget the added latency and subscription.

Do gamers even care about CUDA?

Because why would AMD compete with them in any meaningful way?

It’s the same as having 2 gas stations directly across the street from each other.

Neither one is there to compete with the other. They’re both there to collectively rip off everyone else.

I guess I shouldn’t be disappointed.

Seeing people parrot popular opinions on AI for brownie points among their peers just reinforces my idea that most people on the internet are useful idiots these days.

They’re not meant to be taken seriously. Disagreeing with them should usually be an indicator that we’re doing something right because of how often they’re wrong without ever owning up to it.

Louisiana is the worst state.

I always lose respect for someone when I see they gave money to discord.

Matrix suffers from some pretty poor design decisions and implementations.

I expect its flaws to get ironed-out over the years, but right now people switching from discord to matrix will find their experience severely lacking.

To give some examples, video chatting is not as inuititive in matrix. You can’t even test it on your own without being in a server with specific permissions that allow you to use your camera when nobody else is around. Really fucking stupid design decision.

Another example is the lack of channels. It’s mind-boggling to me how they’re not implemented yet. Matrix will never be competitive with discord until that changes.

You know, I’ve seen this image at least 15 years ago and thought it was a joke.

Now that I’m older now, I’m guessing this is an actual diagram for implementing and perhaps patenting interactive commercials?

We literally reward people in our society for being as shitty as possible. Can we stop doing that?

Yeah, di$cord has definitely been speedrunning the deterioration of their platform.

It’s a shame because they started as a darling of the gaming community with a lot of loyalty when people were switching to micro$hit like $lack and team$.

I guess capitalism and endless growth don’t actual translate to improved products for the rest of us. Go figure.

It’ll be nice when our species moves to decentralized platforms like Matrix, but every day we wait is another day I don’t get to enjoy it.

Contrary to popular belief among useful idiots, copyright and patent laws are not there to protect the working class.

If copyright and patent laws actually protected workers, why have we not seen rulers fight back against them until now?

This should be eye-opening to most of you, but that would involve admitting you were wrong.

Most people can’t do that.

No, it’s not like saying that.

Please stop trying to use rape as a way to get an emotional response for something unrelated.

Rules for thee, not for me.

I thought copyright and patent laws were supposed to protect the little guy? Looks like as soon as they protect the little guy from big business, they stop mattering.

It’s almost like, they weren’t there to protect the little guy which is why big businesses never fought back against them.

I guess the useful idiots were wrong, again. Color me not-surprised.

Any exec saying remarks like this should be old yellered.

And their offspring if they grow up to be the same or worse.

SEO is scummy.

Texas is a shithole that only exists to serve businessmen at this point.

That’s why elon and republicans love it so much.

Every day more people feel like they have nothing to lose.

It’s only a matter of time before they direct their ire towards the ones who put them in that position.

They know these things are going to kill people; it’s just inevitable.

Engineers are well aware of there being a cost-benefit analysis for saving human lives. O’Grady from Practical Engineering did a great video explaining how much a human life is worth to engineers. I think it was a little under $60k.

The purpose of reducing government oversight as much as possible is so that the cost of killing people is as low as possible.

It’s not an on/off switch of government regulation. They know that every additional policy they can shift in their favor will translate to increased profits down the line as people inevitably die from these things.
