I've easily gotten (low) hundreds of OpenAI youtube ads. More recently they've been pushing 'Free OpenAI Image generation' to me, in the past they pushed Codex more, but I have a sub for that now, so I guess it works.

Couple things. First, it was a all-stock deal, not cash, so it's closer to a merger than anything. Second, this deal was determined months ago, most likely at a equity stake defined then. That could mean that a 30B deal 3 months ago is

It's an all stock purchase, so closer to a merger than spending $60B

I mean, 30 points in 30 minutes at the time of writing, seems like reason enough to be high up on the front-page, even if it's botted that's little time for admins to review

The monitor stand was always priced to avoid people buying it. I'm yet to see non-custom monitor stand at any of my workplaces, besides hyperspecific situations like a ultrawide monitor.

I would assume the issue there would be transport. It'd be cheaper to use "local cement maker X" than to ship from "remote cheap cement maker Y"

Probably alluding to high demand rather than high prices. More demand, more likely you're win on equity

Isn't it incredibly obvious in my first message that the leverage is on your deposit, and therefore leveraging the cash.

You're invested as much as you are in tesla already, palantir or any other unsavoury S&P500 company, you can't really pick political sides in a "all the top companies"

The leverage is the loan taken for the mortgage. If you have a $1M property, $900k loan. If the property's value increases by 5%, that's $1.05M, so you've made 50% returns on your $100k capital invested. That's leverage,

It's my shortcut for describing the idea that you'd spend $X a month on either interest lost to a bank or rent lost to a landlord, and therefore you can mostly consider that a constant expense when considering rent versus mortgage

Oh I don't disagree, I hate real estate as an investment, it's a terrible asset only made "viable" by tax benefits, rent-replacement and excessive amounts of risk via leverage.

> I’m curious to see what a working version of this looks, what it feels like, how it performs and if/how hard it’d be to get it to pass Bun’s test suite and be maintainable. I’d like to be able to compare a viable Rust version and

Real estate is generally a "good" investment as it's considered a relatively safe way to get significant leverage. 5x leverage in the case of a 20% deposit, or even up to 20x leverage with countries that allow for 5% deposits

They never denied they'd switch, just that they'd need solid improvements confirmed before they switched. Clearly internally they've decided they've seen the gains necessary to carry on with the switch

People relying on this software can absolutely choose to stay on current/recent versions until this becomes more mature. My assumption is that the current state allows for public testing, but anyone needing a stable version wouldn&#x27

That analogy might work if this situation is 'reckless behaviour risking children's safety' but in this case it's much closer to 'We made an large, potentially risky change that you can choose to avoid until it&#x27

It's interviewing the capacity to use the tools in a useful manor rather testing the tools themselves.

I'm not arguing what defines inefficient in these situations, just that "if we group together we'll be okay" for tech workers will go about as well as 1960's longshoreman unionization

From what I recall, while the sessions are P2P, they've implemented proxies between players to prevent the old problem of IPs being exposed.
