Maybe but it also means that if a company needs a datacenter with 1000 gpu’s to do it’s AI tasks demand, it will now buy 500.

Next year it might need more but then AMD could have better gpu’s.

I feel the same but if I look back, there are just as much problems as now. I think that is because the ‘now’ is always more intense than the past events. Just think about it, do you remember every sad day or fight that you had in the past? Hopefully not but you do remember it if it was in the last 7 days.

Some problems from the past are: The crime peak of the 90s. New York City had 2245 murders in 1990. Since 2012 it has not been over 500 per year.

Or take Gaza and Isreal. That region has been a war zone since forever but peaked in 2023,2024.

Or Ukraine. That has only been independent since 1991. Tension in eastern Europe is not new. What is new is that it has been stable for the last 30 years.

Fascism, wars, corruption, etc will come and go and will continue to do so.

I have no idea about the situation in the US but normally prices will always go up because inflation. Sometimes the price will flatline or go down for a bit because of lower interest rate on a loan but the also more people want to buy. More buyers == higher prices.

Some time ago I heard a story about a couple buying a house in the 80s in a big city for an extreme high price. Now that house is worth 20x more than it used to be.

But then again, I have no idea about the situation in your country. In my country even the cheapest houses are made to last at least 80 years.

Some languages use the comments to generate documentation. Something like

// function to add two numbers func Add(num1 int, num2 int)

Yes, sure,the war will end if Ukraine’s money and weapons will be taken away. It’s basically saying: if Ukraine will surrender, the war is over… The problem is that the costs of Ukraine surrender is higher than the destruction of the war.

Not what your asking but, I have a backup hard disk at my workplace. I have the same size disk at home and when I need to update something on my backup, I copy it to the at home disk. I bring that to work and bring back the other disk home. This way, there is always a backup away from home. All encrypted so nobody can steal the data.

Other options can be a friend or family member.

And for other stuff I also have it on Google Drive.

I like nextdns.io

Something like torrents. Split the whole thing in small 5gb torrents.

What is reddit? Never heard of it.

No, I have the same experience. Especially if you want to search for local stuff in my country. It is like my country (Netherlands) does not exist Kagi.

For general topics it is ok I guess. I do have premium but I am barely using it anymore. I use Qwant.

For jacks I always assume that it can break at any moment. That is why I put the spare tire under the car when I have the car lifted. If the jack breaks, the car will fall on the tire and not on my face.

People have met their partner in a video game? I don’t know dude… Don’t count on that chance of happening.

Anyway, stop focusing on not trying to be lonely. It will only make you more lonely.

Maybe woodworking? It can get dusty and you need some room but you can also make smaller things that don’t need big power tools or a lot of room. Like miniature things.

Or computer programming. Create an app. Or do something fun like follow one of the coding challenges from the YouTube channel The Coding Train

“I can’t get any joy from the work anymore. I used to get joy from it. Don’t get me wrong, the colleagues are nice and all”

Probably most of your colleagues will agree with you and nobody gets offended.

What I do is two things

• Go to the All view and block each community that has memes.
• subscribe to commutes that you like.

This ways, all your views are meme-free.

Bonus tip for finding new commuties: create a new account and go to your All view. Every post you see, check if you like the community. If you like it, subscribe to it on your normal account and then block it on your new account. The new account works kind of like check off system. Each community that you made a decision on (subscribe or don’t care) will no longer be visible on the new account. This way, other communities that are smaller will also be revealed.

I think it is because a dog has been seen as an object or tool for a long time. We are the owner. We buy the one that we like the most.

With humans we don’t have ownership over another human. The human is owned by itself. So we let everyone decide for themselves who the want to breed with. One person will select a partner that is nice, some like a “bad boy”, some like dark hair, blond, tall short, etc.

Also, humans are really not that different from each other while dogs can look like a completely different species.

What happens if you download something. Does it also upload while downloading?

Is it possible to download the torrent that you seed from outside your network by yourself? Mobile network, a friend or family wifi. To be sure that it does not download it all from someone else, create a torrent from a random file, upload it to a random tracker and download the torrent from outside your network.

Same with YouTube ads. Lots of scam’s and reporting it always ends in my report getting denied…

What if someone sets up an instance, make a post and manipulate the upvotes? Just give it a million upvotes. That would break the whole system…

Or a bit more subtle, every upvote is multiplied by 10.

That was an awesome game. I remember playing it with my friends and if you hit the top 10, we would write our name with ‘the best’.

It also had a level editor. I created one with a lot of jumps.

Good times!
