So true. Sadly these days the market can stay irrational almost indefinitely. The factors that helped constrain this irrationality, like actual government oversight and discipline of equities and debt, willingness to let large corporations fail, and investor discipline in discerning real growth from financial games have all been eroded.
I have no idea when valuations will fall, and I wouldn't want to be better on a market that has no basis in fundamentals at all.
First they monetized loneliness with OF and Tinder. Then they monetized unemployment with LinkedOut, and now they're monetizing homelessness with Air B and E.
Hey, these are businesses that have to make money, so if they're clubbing kittens to death you have no right to complain. Now we noticed you stopped moving and you aren't spending money so we're going to have to ask you to leave or we're going to call the police and film them beating the shit out of you. Thanks for being our customer.
I thought they got bought? Did Oracle re-capitalize? I need an upgrade on Niagara.
The latest Sun SPARC arrived at the speed of light... unfortunately it still runs Slowaris
Nothing like giving people the runaround until they're exhausted...
HR often has an Orwellian aspect to their communication. They say things in a way that sounds like they are there to help you, but they are really there to gatekeep. Not everyone can have the salary, promotion, office, etc that they want, and HR is there to control those things, and minimize the company's legal problems in doing so. The double-speak and gatekeeping make them incredibly frustrating to deal with.
On top of that they also know a lot of private info, from salary to disciplinary actions to disputes they got involved in, so they're often in a position of quite a lot of leverage.
Won't you be proud after your career of denying jobs to men while you pulled the office train. You'll be in your apartment all alone with sobs echoing in your barren womb for the next 40 years.
Hope it was worth it. The guy you fucked out of a career and a family has nothing but love for you. Say hi to your cats.
He is mostly writing for attention *now*, nothing to do with immortality.
The whole premise is ridiculous, like SEO slop dressed up as something intellectual. Odds are high that OpenAI's "authoritativeness" is Google PageRank. That means it will move as traffic moves or if one of them changes the rules.
If you want to write for immortality, figure out something to say that is meaningful across human lifetimes.
That's pretty hard to do, which is why only a few works become and stay "classics". The way to even have a shot is not to internet clout-seeking, it is true thought and creativity.
From TFA: out of 15 patients, one patient died during the study. Hope it wasn't due to the treatment...
There's a typo in the headline. It's supposed to read "Microsoft Forms Superintelligence Team Under AI Chef Suleyman 'To Serve Humanity'".
China calling Elon. Come in, Elon!
bought used at a camera store (remember those?).
What's unusual about a camera store? They still exist today and sell all sorts of camera gear. You might know the online store "BH Photo & Video" - they're a camera store, though they have branched out from that.
The odd thing might be a number of camera stores seemed to be owned by people of Jewish origin - which is why BH Photo and others often close for Jewish holidays.
Brick and mortar stores are hard to come by these days. And they are infinitely more fun than online stores.
bah.
Let me know when they start making *autographic* 120 film again. I have the camera, and am dying to shoot a roll!
The last rolls were apparently made in 1932. The cameras had a flap that could flip up and allow writing directly onto the film with a stylus. When you see handwriting on an old picture print, it was likely shot on autographic.
[and, yes, in fact my autographic camera *does* have bellows!]
