Plus market dynamics means that even if it’s 90% cheaper to make, they will only reduce the price compared to LFP by 10% to maximize profits.

Its complicated in its portrayal, for sure. It comes off at a glance like “just signam grindset bro,” but really the protagonist had to lie, cheat and steal his way to his dream, while also being an absolute fatalist while pushing his body near to death. Even then, he still needed to convince a doctor to fake his results at the end. That’s not a pro “grindset” or “you can overcome” message really. It shows how absolutely fucked you are if you aren’t born into advantage, how weighted everything is against you.

The movie would have hit harder if he got to the end and got caught and denied his dream. Just end with him in prison, staring out a window up at the stars.

Hes saying that caring for oneself is the only thing that matters, that others should fend for themselves.

Thiel is a pure randian. Hes not advocating for building strength to help build up a community. Hes advocating for communities where only the strong can afford to buy into, while everyone else dies.

Just insane ramblings from a man that would be safely ignored if he didn’t have billions of dollars and decades of king making giving him unimaginable leverage into our nation and world.

A clone of his cousin, then.

We should toss superboy in there, get Superman’s/luthors clone involved.

Call it half of a half incest.

That or something like it is literally part of the EU demand. Google has to pay the fine and tell them their next step to ending their conflicts of interest in 60 days.

Openai has an “at cost” azure deal with Microsoft. They don’t make any azure money from them.

This feels like a mix of “keep the bubble moving somehow” hype and a shot across the bow at Microsoft, who are in a nasty back and forth with Openai right now because openai wants to break its early deals with Microsoft to go fully for profit to get a large amount of funds from Softbank. Microsoft isn’t okay with that, as it would cost them exclusivity to Openais tech and various other things.

The meme is referring to this murder of an 11 year old who just rang a doorbell and ran. The murderer was lying in wait in his yard with a gun, and shot the kid as he ran out of the yard with his cousin.

The cousin screamed for help and tried to save him, but he died shortly thereafter. A neighbor called the police. The murderer calmly walked back into his house, offering no aid, not in any fear for his life.

It was the most wishlisted game on steam ever, priced at a very reasonable $20, and it released today after a 6 year wait with almost no press before the last couple of weeks. All the press it did receive was about how the devs were just having a good time, which was insanely endearing.

It’s basically the ultimate indie darling at this point. I 100% believe it could crash all the platforms above.

If you’re sure you’re going to make $1,000,000,000,000,000 as long as you hold onto 10000 pieces of paper, selling them for way, way less than that is very stupid. Even if it’s generational wealth, it’s still very stupid.

Most of the openai share owners are already millionares, either via the high salaries or whatever. To have people like altman, a billionaire, sell “trillionare” shares for mere millions of even hundreds of millions strongly implies a need to cash put at the top of the bubble, put those hundreds of millions in your hyped up pocket, and let the rubes hold the bag.

The other part of this is the marketing. It may very well be the biggest IPO ever, which will be splashy and loud and keep the bubble going longer, which is exactly something you want if you have no substance to show instead.

Looks like every game is in the 70% ratings for this one. Meh to the max for me.

Personally, this one is my “jump off the bandwagon” month. Time to cancel that increasingly expensive subscription.

Exactly. His body isn’t human, it just looks like it. He gets all his energy from photosynthesis. In at least one “bullshit” iteration, he can sap solar power from plants directly.

This is not a human with a humans constraints.

Canned tuna once or twice a week. Mix in mayo/olive oil/apple or pickle/salt and pepper, and if you have it, a dash of fish or oyster sauce. Toss in some green onion if you like. I like to add crispy jalapeno or crispy onions. You can swap in canned salmon if you want instead of tuna, although i would opt out of the apple at that point.

Peanut or mixed nut butter can be really good too. Use sourdough or a good sead bread. Try it with some added flax/chia seed, or hemp heart for more protein/fiber. Use different jams like mango or gooseberry for variety.

Liquid lunch is also something, although boring. Lots of 30g of protein/150 calorie options now a days, mostly whey or collagen based. Down a couple of those in a pinch.

The jury basically did exactly that. They weren’t buying Tesla’s multi-year denial that they had the data as an “oopsy doopsy” story.

They found Tesla liable for $235 million. It’s the first case Tesla hasent been able to settle, and that’s a big ol’ number. They are going to have more lawsuits coming.

China spending 1/20 of what the US does to subsidize cars isn’t relevant? Sure thing buddy.

The whole point of all of these “china is only dominating in EV sales due to subsidies” comments is to throw shade on China’s impressive progress in clean tech. A contrast of their subsidies vs other countries in the same space, motor vehicles, is entirely relevant.

You should learn about US fossil fuel subsidies. The US alone pumps almost 800 billion/yr into subsidising the industry. Total subsidies worldwide are around 7 trillion/yr.

China tossing 40 Billion/yr into EV/battery subsidies is basically pocket change.

“If youre good at something, dont do it for free.”

He came out and said him and Trump are solid. I think he performed at his inauguration too.

I bet you can guess the answer.

The video is 2 years old. Any new developments?

Hes canonically also said he hates cops that worship him because they are supposed to be the vanguard of law and order, not murderers. I think he then went on to kill those cops, to really just nail the whole point home.

Surprise surprise, it didn’t take.
