When this current “AI” bubble bursts, Reddit will be left with nothing. They sold what goodwill they had for a handful of magic beans.

If you own multiple homes, then you can view all but one of them as an investment, as you can sell them when the market is good.

If you own one house and have a mortgage on it, then the market going down is bad because you end up with negative equity.

If you own one house with no mortgage, then the market going up is bad because it’s harder to upgrade. I wouldn’t mind my house being only worth £10,000 if it meant that I could buy my dream house for £20,000.

YouTube have such a stranglehold on the >1m market, that’s why they can afford to stagnate in that area and look into other markets. They don’t have to fear a competitor threatening their core market any time soon.

The problem with randomising the test order is that it compromises the reproducibility of results. If there are ordering issues, then your tests will sometimes fail and sometimes pass, but will developers look at that and think “ah there must be an ordering issue” or will they think “damn these flaky tests, guess I’d better rerun the pipeline”?

There’s also talents that are byproducts of being born to wealthy parents

Well, if it’s any consolation, I imagine that there are lots of companies out there who would be more than willing to pay you what you’re worth.

I’ve been rewatching Third Rock From The Sun. It’s held up beautifully. There’s just the right amount of weird in it.

I loved the first season but loved the second even more. Richie’s character development is exquisite.

Happy birthday, pal.

Friend, you’re 20. The concept of “potential” being “wasted” at this point in your life is non existent. You’re still right at the start of the journey. Don’t dwell on what you think you might have missed yesterday. Make a plan for tomorrow.

My concern is that it feels like using Google to confirm the truth of what ChatGPT tells you is becoming less and less reliable, as so many of the pages indexed by Google are themselves created by similar models. But I suppose as long as your search took you to a site where you could actually buy the thing, that’s okay.

Or at least, it is until fake shopping sites start inventing products based on ChatGPT output.

I was finding that episode a bit tedious. Felt like it was just a bunch of boomer memes strung together. And then the last five minutes were just glorious, and raised it to a work of art.

I enjoyed this episode. Lots of favourite old irregular characters returning, and I had a particular fondness for the scene where the women were psyching out the men. Charlie suddenly being hyper aware of his elbows was a great concept, magnificently executed. And I’m also glad to see Dee getting some proper screen time - it feels like she’s been wallpaper all of this series so far.

Car manufacturers won’t spend extra on a fancy feature unless they can’t sell without it. That’s why most cars have such nasty low-res screens for the entertainment system, when a nice high res one (like the one you have in your phone) would only cost a few quid more.
