Considering I've never heard of any of these people, and it says they have a combined audience of 13 million followers, things are looking bleak. Google says Joe Rogan alone has more than 14 million followers on Spotify and 16.4 millio

The description of the guy finding the data while at a Starbucks doesn't do justice to his setup shown in the photo. My dude has a seriously chaotic and awesome setup there.

Is it just money that motivates these people? Is that all? At this point, they must just want to watch civilization collapse for short-term gains.

I feel you, I've had similar 'discourses" on local news sites in the comments. I assume the accounts are regular people, but they genuinely just believe whatever bad thing they hear about renewable energy and look no further.

I think it's more likely they have a rack of IBM iSeries servers in the back someplace, or maybe in a colo data center.

I always though it was after the middle ages that alcohol was consumed for safety reasons. I also remember hearing it wasn't really the general population, but sailors on ships because water on long voyages wouldn't stay fresh ver

Wow ~$17,000 for a CNC router? You could buy a used Haas/professional mill for that much.

Commented on this the other day, I think AI is fundamentally different from ride share apps and Uber for X services. It's more likely to follow a Moore's law trajectory. Getting cheaper and better over time? Or at least cheaper.

Anecdotally it seems like alcohol is being replaced with weed or other things. But it doesn't bode well for the future of mental health if social drinking is being replaced with solo drug use or just solo everything.

Honestly we're in a race to the bottom right now with AI. It's only going to get cheaper to train and run these models as time goes on. Modes running on single consumer grade PCs today were almost unthinkable four years ago.

Again saying everyone was using a ton of coke back then, doesn't really line up with reality. Yes it was sold openly in pharmacies until 1914, and seen as a problem. Estimates from the time (1900) show 200,000 people (~0.3% of a ~76 mi

Saying everyone was 'coked out of our mind' seems a bit far fetched. Yeah there were niche products using coke and consuming/exporting it was legal, but historic production numbers from the period are a small percentage of mo

Like the article says, multiple things caused ( and are causing) newspapers to go out of business. Just because a country didn't have Craig's List, there's similar services all over the place reducing ad revenue.

I worked with a guy years ago who passionately hated Comic Sans. I told him to email Vincent Connare, the Comic Sans inventor, and tell him how much he didn't like it, and he did. Anyway, no response until a year and a half later, then

My DIY e-bike has regenerate braking. It makes no meaningful difference for the battery charge. But in terms of brake pad life, they do seem to last about twice as long as before.
