Is this response AI? Are you AI? Better check a mirror, but the mirror is AI, so it lies to you as well.

Fields medal winner June Huh is right, you can only do about 4 hours of real work a day before your neurons get filled with detritus and you need some sleep to wash it out. Stop killing your brain for a company you don't even own cause it sounds cool and go take a 2 hour lunch ya dumb nerds.

-the child mode was set to "kill", see you just set it to "do not kill" and you're all good here now.

If it breaks it breaks, ohwell. A better strategy for over 50 years after the moon landings when tech that would've seen jaw droppingly alien back then is an everyday item today.

What? No, that's not how it works at all. The full frame cameras use modified Sony sensors offering lower native ISO than the Sony branded ones, which are the primary sellers in their M mount, which is their own mount on their own body design. There's like, 1 single model no one buys from an intermediary Israeli semi foundry Tower Semiconductor based on a Pansonic design but that's it. And anyone into photography will tell you lenses cost more than camera bodies, and all the lens designs are Leica property, which are considered the absolute top tier in photography lens designs outside the Uber expensive Arri Master primes.

Maybe he can start his own currency, the Elon Dollar, and use it on Planet Elon, somewhere in the Elon galaxy. Maybe he can leave for there as soon as possible.

For those not familiar with the camera world: Leica has done a relatively good job recently positioning itself as a "premium" camera brand. You do pay a ton, but from lenses to most cameras you get stuff that's noticeably at least a bit better in most ways than any directly competing product.

Of course a sale means the owners assume they've maxxed out how far they can take this, and any potential buyers are probably the type to cut corners and ride higher profit margins on the brand name until it's wrung out and worthless.

I mean, when in all of history has there been a giant boom in a financial asset based solely on people's belief that the asset will always increase in value?! And don't give me any of that nerd shit like "history books"! Also give it to me in the past, just before the market started dipping, so I could cash out... please? (Is that the right word?) I'm losing everything here!

Old jokes are old, keep up on tech and you'll realize that while they still charge a ton for for extra RAM, the base mac minis and macbook airs have been pretty universally praised as amazing deals for what you get. It's Dell and Lenovo, and Intel and AMD on top of that, and Microsoft overall, that have failed spectacularly as somehow Apple can charge their huge margins and still sell you a better specced, more useable laptop or desktop for the same price as the competition.

The AI morons flee, buy the dip!

AT&T finally offered an alternative for my parents house last year, even if it's just through a dedicated 5G modem. Now my parents pay half the price and the internet actually hits the advertised, usable speeds if I go to visit. Amazing, 6/10 would recommend that or anything else but Comcast in an instant.

I've done atmospheric catalysis chemistry, it's utterly trivial to get ethanol or similar out of CO2, in fact it's pretty hard not to. The next to impossible part is making it cost effective, just like this clearly a scam company doesn't do.

I'd ask how he has a professorship, but then arguing philosophy at all is pointless. If it looks and sounds and acts exactly like a duck down to the smallest detail, then it is no more nor less than a duck, whatever driveling nonsense "philosophers" and those that take them seriously may argue otherwise.

"Consciousness", pheh, may as well start arguing about shadows on a cave wall.

Firing half your programmers and claiming AI is replacing them to pump your stock price is going perfectly!

Lithium being "rare" is a myth, that stuff is everywhere and earth has enough to last centuries even without recycling, it just tends to bind to a lot so it's hard to purify in many forms. But like with decades of oil drilling practice making oil incredibly cheap, years of engineering lithium refining already have, and will continue to, make lithium cheaper and cheaper. Which is good as it's the lightest metal there is, and as lithium batteries are already pretty heavy for cars trying to replace lithium with an atomically heavier metal feels like a long term dead end driven by temporary economic difficulties rather than long term fundamental physics.
