If this actually did lead to faster matrix multiplication, then essentially anything that can be done on a GPU would benefit. That definitely could include games, and physics models, along with a bunch of other applications (and yes, also AI stuff).

I'm sure the papers authors know all of that, but somehow along the line the article just became"faster and better AI"

But then what's to stop one bad owner from just making 15 different accounts for their 15 different properties?

And from the users perspective, there's reasons to prefer that all the properties under the same owner are tied to the same account. If bad reviews are happening it's easier to see the pattern if all the properties on the account have bad reviews.

Not that I don't generally agree with you, I just think that it's a complicated enough issue that just limiting the number of listings per person won't totally solve.

The above post is referencing/quoting a line from the show "It's always sunny in Philadelphia", which is why people up voting it

Believe it or not, but companies outside of Boeing and Airbus are capable of designing airplanes.

It's not just "good" regulation holding them back either - in 2017 Boeing accused Bombardier of "dumping" some CSeries planes because they sold them to Delta at below the retail cost (about a 30% discount). The CSeries was/is a good plane, but took an incredibly long time to get through certification so Bombardier had been losing money and was desperate to sell them. Boeing complained about this discount to the US International Trade Commission who imposed a massive fine on Bombardier. Because of the delays, Bombardier couldn't afford to fight the fine so they ended up having to give up a 50% stake in the design to Airbus for only $1. The year after, the fines were appealed and overturned, but the damage was already done. Bombardier has since completely sold their stake in the CSeries (one less competitor), and Airbus gets the renamed A220 series for a massive discount.

As an aside, I can't argue that the FAA doesn't do more good than harm in this space generally, but I'm the last ~5 years it's becoming clear to me that they have a massive blindspot for Boeing in particular.

Battery performance tends to drop off extremely quickly once it drops below a certain temperature. Like, one minute it still says 50% charge left, the next it's dying.

If you aren't used to dealing with amount of cold I could see it catching you by surprise on your commute or something.

On top of that, IIRC the student loan aid was executive action alone (i.e. Biden specifically enacted it) while the pandemic checks were passed by congress so at best Trump might be able to say he pushed for it but it was still congress that made it happen.

Why is that weirder? The people writing scientific software are, by and large, less good at writing software than people who only specialize in software development. I'd expect there to tons of terrible engineering practices in an old code base like that

I agree with many of the other commenters that OP debating their husband might not be the best idea.

But if that's what they want, "Decoding the gurus" did at least one Rogan specific episode, and I think they do a better job covering and dismantling Rogan's rhetorical approach than the podcasts above.

I haven't actually read the novel version, just seen the movie enough times to know this wasn't in it and that there was a novel

[–] decerian 26 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Probably the novel on which the movie was based.

I'm no accountant, but I have to imagine when he's talking about "value" it's not exact loss of sales, but something more like "projected sales for the next 10 years" or something.

There's no way Twitter, a company that was overvalued at $43 billion, was also making $40billion a year in advertising sales.

Yes, I believe Trump went for an interview on Tucker's show instead of going to the first rooinek republican primary debate. That was fairly recently
