Arch has a very in-depth wiki that's the go-to resource for a lot of Linux users, and it offers a community-driven way to have access to literally anything that's ever landed on Linux ever through the AUR. It's also nice to have an OS that you never have to reinstall (assuming all things go well).

Why that turned into such a cult-meme is anyone's guess though.

I am afraid to say that only Iron Man, War Pigs, and Paranoid are good from Sabbath, and that doom puts me to sleep. Give me Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and some screaming high melodies over eurobeat-speed BPM. This is the one form of sectarianism I will eagerly jump into maddened

They have finally done it: they've figured out a way to make LLMs even heavier computation-wise amerikkka-clap

Sabbath (and Ozzy by extension) have written a grand total of 3 decent songs in their entire discography. They're less someone to listen to and more a piece of the musical fossil record to show where one of the branches of metal branched from the blues-heavy rock scene.

Nothing says good socialist political instincts quite like leaving a bunch of bunch of working class people to die of heatstroke because they had the audacity to be born in the southeastern US and then whitewashing that by calling them settlers despite a third of them being descended from slaves.

That video looks like the ending to a Coen brothers movie.

Definitely not. Football also has a lot of coaches with brainworms about hydration being a reward for hard practice and is primarily played in southern climates, which is not a good combination. Throw in climate change and you get a shitshow.

Professional scientists and researchers are famous for spontaneously popping out of the aether like quantum foam, completely disconnected from any causality or prior state of being.

I think the general consensus among anthropologists is that the workers building the great pyramids weren't slaves, just day laborers working for rations of ale and food.

American football is so wildly popular that I don't think it'd ever get banned in the US. The silver lining is that rules changes are making CTE and head/neck injuries less common (the kinds of tackles and hits that were completely legal even 15 years ago are fucking wild to watch nowadays, straight up helmet-to-helmet contact at full sprint and everyone just shrugged and went back for the next play even as both players are wobbling like they're drunk) to the point where all the other body-wrecking injuries will hit players first so they don't have time to turn their brains to swiss cheese.

The innovation of buying all your drug patents from publicly funded research labs and then charging 1000x the cost of manufacturing the drug when it's critical for people to continue living.

Fortunately the patent for the solution has long since expired.

Yeah if the Senate bill is passed as-is it functionally kills Tesla as a company. Residential solar and EV tax credits are getting nuked from orbit, and those two things prop it up entirely.

 

"My estimation, as of this morning, somewhere between $500 to $700 billion worth of market capitalization that should be delisted, taken off the exchanges, add further pressure on the Chinese to come to the table," O’Leary said on "Mornings with Maria" Friday.

You're fighting a trade war built on top of the idea that China has to come to the table to negotiate because they're interlocked with your economy. If you delist all their companies and divest Chinese investors of American assets, you're literally gutting your own argument in favor of gobbling up a short-term gain, dipshit.

"I'm an investor. I take companies public on NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange. I pay millions of dollars each year in compliance. I have no choice but to be compliant and transparent and abide by [Generally Accepted Accounting Principles]. And right beside me, issuing shares without any guidance at all, are Chinese companies," O’Leary started.

"I'm competing for that dollar. I'm investing in our markets and being compliant, and my Chinese competitor, same bank I'm using, is going to institutions the same day on a road show and raising money for what's called a shadow share," he expanded. "It's not even a real share. They don't even have any rights. And they're taking my dollar."

Literally complaining he can't make effortless profit because a Chinese investor comes in, makes a deal with an American exchange or investment firm, and purchases a share with zero rights attached. This is a blackjack player complaining that someone else sat down at their main lucky table to play.

I can't tell if American capitalists are just entitled babies or if this is some ploy to shock doctrine half a trillion in domestic investment opportunities so they can snatch it up for cheap.

 

Mulaney took the opportunity to point out the irony of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs focusing on AI and the future in a city where thousands of humans struggle to live and maintain basic living conditions. “Let me get this straight,” Mulaney said. “You're hosting a ‘future of AI' event in a city that has failed humanity so miserably?”

Mulaney even compared the event attendees to himself and his son playing wiffle ball. “We're just two guys hitting wiffle balls badly and yelling ‘good job' at each other,” Mulaney said. “It's sort of the same energy here at Dreamforce.”

Still a piece of shit for cheating on his wife, but standing in front of Jensen and telling him that his work makes the world a worse place is full critical support.
