> At least they, you know, die soon.

They may very well live another 20 years and you have to pay their demise, too. Their generation smoked more, drank more alcohol, had a life full of asbestos, PCB and lead. It's gonna be expensive for us.

We had our chance in 2020, but blew it because of silly ethics. I see little gratitude for the gigantic sacrifice the young generation made for boomer life. I hope the kidz won't forget next time someone eats a bat.


> What you hate is human nature.

Such a defeatist take. Human nature is to come up with culture to check human nature. Human nature is to feel community expulsion as badly as physical pain, because human nature is to punish anti-social behavior. We are equally capable of love, empathy, anger and violence. What isn't human nature, is watching everything taken from you, while you tell yourself that's just the way things are. That's pathology.


> “The AI-driven growth in the data center has led to a surge in demand for memory and storage. Micron has made the difficult decision to exit the Crucial consumer business in order to improve supply and support for our larger, strategic customers in faster-growing segments,” said Sumit Sadana, EVP and Chief Business Officer at Micron Technology.

"AI"-driven collapse will go down as the stupidest crisis in human history. The idiotic waste of gigantic amounts of civilizatory resources, for something that hasn't remotely proven useful yet, while simultaneously neglecting existentially mandated reforms and investments, in an outrageously obvious critical moment in time ... well that's gonna dwarf even historic missteps of organized religion and island cultures.

I am calling it now:

* Cancelled: Cyberpunk.

* New lore timeline: Hypepunk > Crash-Core > Silicon Gothic

* Historian epoch title: The Dark Ages.


Indeed it was naive of us not to have called that controversial medieval lull in societal progress "The First Dark Ages".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Ages_(historiography)

The term is up for grabs again. Also, future historians may not categorize medieval times as we do. By then, libraries may have been converted to data centers and historic artifacts burned to fuel GPUs, or destroyed through hallucinated restoration advice. Remaining digital traces may have been exhaustively overwritten by verbose AI prose, or simply lost when AWS introduced generative DNS. In a 1000 years, the only preserved evidence of medieval times may be an LLM's summary of "A Knight's Tale".

Remember when AOL bought Time Warner?

I do think it's proven useful, much like the internet had in the nineties.


Doesn’t hold a candle to ATT burning $60B+ on it less than a decade ago. Or $30B+ on DirecTV.

2010s ATT leadership was something else.


Dude, that's like someone's opinion. Also neural nets doing pattern recognition on x-ray images is not the reason Micron abandoned their consumer shovel business.

What do you think is flagged here, your name, or banking info? Name pattern matching seems a bit unlikely/incompetent since sometimes people got identical names. Same phone? Maybe the IMEI part is flagged. Have you tried a residential IP?

Just in case you are on some greater shit-list (maybe by accident, by someone else's doing), I would take a moment to make sure you know how to behave when searched, got nothing too incriminating at home/your car (i.e. illegal drugs), your drives/backups are encrypted and your master password isn't pinned on a post-it. If your existence is bound to local data, make sure to have remote backups anticipating your devices getting confiscated.


> Just in case you are on some greater shit-list (maybe by accident, by someone else's doing)

Unfortunately identity theft is common these days, most people don't even know that they are victims of it.


I don't think the issue at hand is coming up with plausible reasons, but the guessing.

Nothing should be less controversial for Apple to specify, than legal reasons beyond their control.


> When they flag something like that, they usually don’t explain the reason — partly because they don’t want to expose how they evaluate developer activity or link accounts to external projects.

Well, this is unacceptable considering the market power Apple has. It's basically an occupational ban for mobile app development. Imagine, if GitHub won't let you join (maybe) because you criticized Microsoft on Twitter 10 years ago, or (maybe) it's because they don't like the way you dress.

"What's your greatest weakness?"

"Well, I can't develop your app for half the market, because Apple unexpectedly challenged me with a self-improvement journey. But I am well on my way, really introspecting to find out where I failed in life, where I may have misspoken. I am confident I can soon regain Apple's trust and approval for my life decision, and become a full-market developer!"


Jeez, this feels bad.

> As part of the multiyear partnership, Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Synopsys will use Nvidia technology to improve its compute-intensive applications and the companies will collaborate to advance agentic artificial-intelligence engineering.

Is this worth $2,0000,000,000 in shares? If there was synergy wouldn't you do it for free?

> Synopsis shares were up 7.8%

Ah...

> The companies said the partnership would allow research and development teams to design and simulate products faster and at lower cost.

We haven't found a use case yet and things are already boiling, but sure let's go faster!


The code will come out just fine, so your atrophied brain will remain dependent on OliCorp's parasocial prosthesis for strenuous thinking, dissolving wariness in experiences of super productivity. Then elsewhere, when plausible, OliCorp will progressively nudge you in some direction sold as predefined weight bonus to third party customers. You won't even notice and really, isn't it a fair price for all that productivity? Of course, AI isn't always right yet, but I'd say in a very practical 95% of cases your goals and expectations are in alignment with OliCorp AI.

Don't forget, every website and service monetized automated access as a consequence of the AI scraping boom and made unauthorized web-indexing impossible, traditional search dried off. And when OliCorp finally turned off access to their legacy index monopoly in favor of AI interfacing, you really have no choice but to trust your friendly chat buddy. Who else are you gonna ask for the fix? Former friends, your family or neighbors? People you've grown to hate because sympathetic local clustering is discouraged through four color divisive information shaping. I mean, those guys really are at fault for your lack of self-efficacy, the hate is warranted. And you're too tired to bother anyway.


This fellow human speaks the truth. You people did trust strangers before the invasion of "Earth", it's totally not fair to be overly wary of the Mimics now!


over-wariness of mimics is just a good way to cut down on the available supply of sexual partners in my book!


You clearly never had sex with a Mimic.


I did too, I met a great Mimic one time on a business trip in Canada, and formed a strong long lasting relationship based on trust, honesty and hot nasty banging.


> Your 4000IU isn't too much.

By what metric? Jeez. People, you need to get your blood checked. There is no one-fits-all dosage. In winter, 4000 IU/d was enough to raise my blood levels well into the excessive range.


My 4000 units were after blood testing and also after genetic testing which showed some VDR mutations that might benefit from supplementation. As mentioned in another comment, that dose brings me slightly over 30 ng/ml, so basically borderline ok.

I fully agree that supplementation should always be combined with both blood testing and also a general medical evaluation.
