  • Americans with six-figure incomes are in 'survival mode'

    Jump

  • The person I replied to should not label those people the enemy then. As I said, he is painting with much too wide of a brush.

  • Americans with six-figure incomes are in 'survival mode'

    Jump

  • Median household income in Colorado Springs is $83k/yr. Said 3 bedroom home for $265k is quite affordable on $83k/yr.

    unless you have a fully remote job

    And if this is the case, you are doing even better and have a shitload more options.

  • you have to choose more slum-y areas

    Here is a random home I found after only a few seconds of looking. 3 bedroom home in Colorado Springs for $265k. Easily affordable at the stated $100k/yr income.

    You can’t afford to buy a single family home on $100k/yr in my area.

    you have to choose more slum-y areas

    Lots of homes are easily affordable with that income. Buy elsewhere.

  • Those who live off property (aka others’ labour) are.

    This is everyone with a 401(k) for retirement. Ie, what they will be loving off of. Not sure why you are labeling the vast majority of people the enemy…

    Hell, since you are including 'other's labour', then this would also include anyone living off Social Security, a pension, disability, etc. All of that money comes from other's labour.

    Your brush is way, way, way too broad. You have marked almost everyone the enemy at some point in their lives.

  • iPhone Pocket: $229.95

  • A very good chair is important, it doesn't have to be a $1,000 chair, but, never returning to the back-crushing racing chair.

  • Man, I got excited for a moment they brought back the SE line, but at an even cheaper price.

    I knew it couldn't be true, not with Apple, but, it is what I first thought.

  • The Linux Kernel Looks To "Bite The Bullet" In Enabling Microsoft C Extensions

    Jump

  • Pedant thought: The thumbnail shows one biting everywhere but the bullet.

  • God ****** dammit, here we go again

    Jump

  • I'm a big fan of the Keep It Simple (KISS) approach, and went with Password Safe. Works on Linux, Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android. It's big thing is it just makes an encrypted password file which then you can sync between devices however you like (Box, Dropbox, etc)

    Which one works on all browsers including mobile safari and mobile Firefox?

    It has an auto-type and copy feature, so no need for browser support. Though, the main criticism of this offering is if you want a ton of features and don't care about KISS.

  • Protip for the room: Use a password manager with a unique password for every service. Then when one leaks, it only affects that singular service, not large swaths of your digital life.

  • "Dad, I don't know how to say this, but...I'm gay"

    "We know. Now, would you like some tacos?"

    "What?"

    "Sigh, I guess I'm eating all the tacos."

  • The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops

    Jump

  • The good news is. Even if you don't change your strategy, you can just chill on index funds. When the bubble pops, they will go down, just keep buying more. In the long term, you will still make money. US index funds earn ~8% per year on average when invested for long periods of time.

  • The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops

    Jump

  • I never got into options investing, but I believe you keep re-upping them. Every time you do so you pay a small price. So, the game is: 'can you stay liquid long enough for the bubble to pop'.

  • Capital gains are taxed. Profits from this are capital gains.

  • The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops

    Jump

  • Mid-Cap index funds should be fairly insulated from the damage as well, given they would exclude companies as large as nVidia.

    Either way, biggest thing people is when the bubble pops, that is the time to buy in more, not the time to sell. The buy high-sell low strategy is easy to fall into emotionally.

  • The Future of Advertising Is AI Generated Ads That Are Directly Personalized to You

    Jump

  • This is pretty much my response any time Google or Microsoft does anything negative at this point. My good will for those two was spent years ago. Swapped over to Protonmail, non-google phone, Linux. Done with their shit.

    EA was easier to get away from. Just...not buying more EA games solved that one. :)

  • NVIDIA's H100 GPU Takes Data Centers to Space

    Jump

  • By harnessing low-cost, nonstop solar energy and avoiding land use and fossil fuels

    1. "low-cost" - Nothing about launching data centers into space is low cost
    2. "nonstop solar energy" Continuous solar energy is certainly nice, but that is a pretty minor buff compared to current ways of making power. If you think nuclear or solar+battery is expensive, go calculate the price for space-based solar per GW...
    3. "avoiding land use" - We have a fuckload of land outside of cities, build them outside of cities... Datacenter land use is removing a cup of water from the ocean.
    4. "avoiding...fossil fuels" - You can achieve that on earth, nuclear or solar+battery...

    In summary, this is probably the dumbest way to build data centers. It's stated goals are better accomplished on land with nuclear or solar+battery. It really just feels like venture capital money trap.

  • The Value of NVIDIA Now Exceeds an Unprecedented 16% of U.S. GDP

    Jump

  • The United States has tethered 16% of its entire economic output to the fortunes of a single company

    Yeah, this article should compare nVidia's revenue to the US GDP (both measure of annual production). But we know why they aren't, as it wouldn't produce an alarming stat.

    The United States has tethered 16% of its entire economic output to the fortunes of a single company

    And to be clear, this stat is simply factually wrong. nVidia IS NOT 16% of US output. They sold $165B last year, US GDP is $29.2T. This means the US has tethered.... 0.5% of their economic output to one company. Not 16%, zero-point-five-percent.

  • Looking for GPU recommendation for Linux compatibility, gaming, and programming

    Jump

  • I agree with the other poster this seems like a hardware issue.

    1. Start with a general battery of hardware tests.
    • Memtest for memory. One or two errors in a full run is OK, more than that is not. A full run will take a few hours, just run it overnight.
    • Furmark for GPU. Look for visual glitches or crashes.
    • Prime95 for CPU.

    1. If those fail to point out the issue. Swap components into another system. This will allow you to eliminate (or confirm) them as the issue. Example, does this GPU have issues in a different system?
