  • 'At some point you've got to make money': Goldman's top AI skeptic warns the clock is running out ahead of OpenAI and Anthropic IPOs

    Jump

  • They ARE going to make money. They own all the stocks now. An inflated IPO means they cash out. It's not about long-term strategy

  • You're thinking too long term. IPOs are the C suite cashing out.

  • I love my Contigos, I have two that I've used for a decade. My dad got the one with the newer mechanism that's MUCH easier to clean and I've been wanting one for years but I can't justify the purchase when these still work great

  • I've made a similar "rant" before on this in the hopes to change someone's mind so I'll give you the shortened version. And I don't mean this negatively, I mean it as encouragement!:

    Music can be an active or passive hobby. Most people fit the latter category and the older you go, the more it skews that way. Adults have a lot less time to experiment and if you aren't actively seeking out new music, you can fall into the trap of "they don't make it like they used to"

    But they do! It's out there! You're just less likely to stumble upon it because not only do you lack the time, the people around you are in the same boat. We've also heard a LOT of music since our teens so fewer songs feel fresh. There's no such thing as "derivative" if you've never heard the original!

    I'm an active hobbyist who listens to 20+ hours of music I've never heard before on a weekly basis and can guarantee that music in pretty much every single genre is still around.

    So I would encourage you to spend a couple hours exploring some time. Even if it's just googling "modern bands like [old band] reddit" and seeing what the music hobbyists have to say, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

  • I feel like it has way more to do with how knowledgeable you were at the time. Kids generally don't have the most critical eye for any of those things and most people don't go back to see what they missed.

    I just said to a friend this morning, "every kid's favorite movie is the last movie they saw"

  • Things have changed but the music industry is very much alive. The barrier to entry dropped significantly with the advent of the internet which definitely affected the established companies but they don't represent the industry. The artists do.

    There's more independent labels than ever and live music hasn't changed significantly (minus the feed for "major" venues). I'd even go as far as to say the music industry is better than it's ever been.

    Classmates, school officials and police asked a court — unsuccessfully — to keep mass shooter away from his dad’s guns

  • Yeah. That's an Onion headline. Do you not see the difference in style?

    I was under the impression that this community followed it's subreddit namesake where the headline sounds like parody. Not the thing that happened

    Jill Biden says she worried Joe Biden was having a stroke during 2024 debate

    Jump

  • Damn if I would have caught ZeroHedge in your last comment, my reply would have been a lot different.

    The libertarian "news" site that uses Tyler Durden as a pseudonym. You shouldn't be proud of reading it, you should be embarrassed. It'd be less embarrassing to get your news from someone with an anime profile picture.

    And now that I'm done making fun of that, your link doesn't even support your claim.

  • That's not...totally wrong, though? Most cars have a peak efficiency of 40-50mph. So it would use less fuel to get there at 50mph than 25mph

  • I Found Ultra-Pure Quantum Crystals in an Abandoned Mine in the Atacama Desert

    Jump

  • I feel like that gets pretty explained well in the article - even pointing to how the phrase is too good to be true.

    The crystals they found ARE more pure than lab-grown. The caveat, as explained in the post, is that they're too small.

    It sounds like the actual exciting part is finding a way to form the crystals
