Oh yeah great because survival as a species is less important than half a point on the Dow next quarter. We’re fucking doomed, I’m gonna give up and I’ll be glad we chose not to have children.

Huh, I guess satire is dead. I thought this was an Onion headline.

I’ve never thought about it like that, but you raise an interesting point. From the point of view of patients insurance is an inextricable part of health care. I’m not so sure you can separate them that easily. Even in Western Europe the trend is towards privatization so when something happens to me health wise my first concern is insurance, never mind the actual problem. It’s a tragedy. Let’s just go back to setting up a mandatory fund and paying out from that without the profit seeking middlemen. We don’t need them.

There’s also Proxmox, we use that in a DC with around 20 nodes and around 120 VM’s. Been solid so far, we started migrating after the Broadcom announcement.

I think the movie projector DRM is such that theaters have to pay for every showing so probably prohibitively expensive.

Anyway how’s your sex life?

Haha, sometimes Lemmy’s ‘nothing to see here' is prescient.

It’s impossible to get someone to understand what their salary depends on not understanding

Everything’s comin’ up Milhouse!

Way to generalize there chief

A “tankie”, singular. By this logic tankies are in to Wheel of Time.

I know what will fix this, 28 lanes!

On the face of it this sounds perfectly legit. If you take drugs responsibly you’ll be happy for a while.

In 15 words: deep learning worked, got predictably better with scale, and we dedicated increasing resources to it.

Are you sure about that Sam? Because one, you’re the snake oil salesman writing this and I wouldn’t trust you as far as I can throw you, and two, yeah maybe it scales predictably but the prediction is that training the next generation for marginal improvement will cost an exponential 100 billion (and that is taking your Microsoft discount for compute into account). You’re hitting a wall hard and the profits are still not in sight. This avenue of progress is a dead end and Sam knows it, because OpenAI is selling PPU’s instead of stock and looking to Saudi investment. Don’t get stuck with the bag folks, the few thousand days Sam claims to need aren’t survivable.

A calculator stapled to a potato would be better than Windows

Is it still parking if you're floating? That's more in the general direction of mooring.

Bender said it best: well, we’re boned.

Yeah agreed, although I would consider Pink Floyd grandpa rock at this point

The unstoppable, never ending march of time is much darker than anyone could sing about.
