I thought Mormons were like a pyramid scheme. Only the top 300k Mormons get be be God of their own planet so they have to get more in so they can be at the top.

Cool I’ve thought about getting one of those when my current one plus gives up.

We are not quite there yet but I’m sure there are at least a couple LLM powered vtubers kicking around that can pay a few tokens to while you watch them play games badly.

I’m not sure it was a mistake. Netflix but games is a pretty compelling offer but the industry has just constantly mistepped over and over with jumping the gun on ending disk based sales and it has poisoned the well a little bit on digital offerings.
Plus the game industry constantly makes ridiculous projections they fail to meet. MS was always going to have to burn money for years to get this off the ground if they even manage it.
To their credit at least they didn’t Google it up like Stadia.
- Comment on Domino's Pizza is going digital 6 days ago:
I’m always curious about the dominos hate.
I get Domino’s from time to time. It’s the closest ‘fast food pizza’ to (about 50m walk) and I don’t find it any better or worse than the other chain pizzas.
50m in another direction from me is wood fired Neapolitan pizza place that also makes decent pizza but it’s a different thing entirely for me. Sometimes I want one, sometimes the other.

You would need to hose the wall off constantly to deal with all the failures.

I thought one of them needed to breath through her skin or something and that’s why she didn’t wear pants?
Maybe I should play some of these games.

It just used to be the style in the 80s and 90s. Even by those standards it’s a bad fit but that’s why I assume he wears them.

A large part of Twitter is just the society pages.

I feel like I’ve seen this headline every year for half a decade.
Time to put those heat pumps to use, we are not doing anything about climate change so it’s the new normal.

Incidentally kids are drinking less than they used to, at least in North America.

The models themselves are not incredibly expensive power wise for inference its the training that is the real power pig.
Eventually things will slow down as we hit the wall on this tech and people start trying to work around the limitations of it. With all the money in it right now though it might be a while.

My off the cuff guess would be the success of who framed Roger rabbit even if Jessica rabbit was not an animal.
- Comment on "Farms use more water than Al data centers" OK, I'll go without Al and you can go without food and we'll see who lasts longer 4 weeks ago:
Not all farms are required.
Farmers like to claim they are ‘growing your food’ while exporting grain and selling corn for ethanol or shipping alfalfa to Saudi Arabia for cattle feed.
They are incredibly unsympathetic.

It depends on how much management is above or below.
There have definitely been times in my life where a meeting was just a reason to zone out and take a break while someone else got their chance to listen to their own voice.

Nintendo manufacturers way more than valve does. They were producing switch 2s for almost a year or more before releasing so the current product on the shelf was made with cheap RAM or with RAM that was purchased on contract. They might be able to ride their current stock level for some time and walking the price up slowly so it doesn’t look as big when they actually have to pay the price of current memory cost.

I mean it’s not hard to do the math.
Steam has 15 years of good will so they get the benefit of the doubt.
The others have more sordid history so people are less charitable.

A ‘man that sucks, but I gotta go … <insert whatever you gotta do>’ will get you out of this about 50 percent of the time.

- Comment on Vibe management 1 month ago:
They love those the most because they integrate them and then use it to justify a promotion or move so they can get out of Dodge before the inevitable explosion happens on the next guys watch. The next guy blames the previous guy and then repeats the process.

Anything where the person is visible is pretty much professional.
Just because they’re on only fans or whatever doesn’t make it any less professional.

I have an Xbox with this dash.
It belonged to my girlfriend and was never updated. It’s an interesting time capsule.

He got 7 million to do this job. He’ll probably do a half ass job and spend half (if that) to do the actual work.
In 2 months people will forget about this and that dude can basically retire.
- Comment on amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity 2 months ago:
That’s what they do now (and have done for the last 3 decades but Walmart is a lot older than that and you don’t get to be in that position by accident.
They were sourcing cheap Chinese goods in the early 80s.
- Comment on amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity 2 months ago:
Maybe they could 50 years ago but they decided then that Walmart was the way to go.
Now all most of them can afford is Walmart

If you ban social media only criminals will have social media…
Seriously though I’m not even sure how you define social media such that it couldn’t be gamed into meaninglessness.
