Which is why it's important to transition to more of a focus making those things with it instead of just burning it as fuel.

That's the clip the person you replied to, is replying to. Carter's demonstration.

All of those are basically front-ends for the National Weather Service and other mostly(?) public institutions that have actual weather satellites and generate the actual data.

I'm a fan of Windy because it lets you choose and compare/contrast forecast models. You can even compare which model has been more accurate for your location in particular.

Don't know if it was you but someone pointed out a few months ago that the 7900 was the last 24GB card to be found for less than $1k and I grabbed one as an upgrade from a 3070. Running local models it's less reliable than Claude at work, but not by much, and it was a good upgrade for gaming.

Before the return period was up it had gone from ~$900 to past $1.2k and I wasn't eligible for a repair/replacement just a refund, the market is completely sideways.

For...40 years? Demand for older consumer CPUs has dropped to zero over a few years because the new ones are demonstrably more capable and basically the same price. That's the whole idea behind Moore's Law. There are niche applications where that hasn't been true that were mostly filled by recycled hardware or single board computers. But in general people want the more capable device.

There's a whole conversation to be had about software bloat that that chain enabled but planned obsolescence it ain't.

They're better predictors of what people think will happen.

That can correlate with what does happen, but they're not the same thing. As much as Kalshi et al's marketing would like to suggest otherwise. They're not oracles or crystal balls.

IIRC, it's mostly that mega-churches are taking over.

It's the smaller (ostensibly) community focused ones that are dying.

Germany's population is ~80 million. $10 million isn't nothing, but that's $0.125 per person. We also didn't just, hand them a bag of cash and walk away whistling.

10 million dollars on the scale of Healthcare is... well about $0.30 per person in the US. Do I need a source to say we spend far more than that? The problem isn't just how much we spend, it's what we get for it, which is mostly rich Insurance companies.

I agree the passkey user experience needs work, but man do I enjoy it over the haphazard 'passwordless' website login that just sends you an email.

I get it, they're just skipping an attack vector and basically relying only on '2FA'. But now I have to go to a different app/tab, copy a code, and return to the site instead of letting the password manager fill stuff in for me. Some, like kickstarter, let you still have a 2FA code enabled so you have to grab your code from whichever authenticator and go to your email. Really nice login experience out of nowhere one day. \s

It's absolutely a gimmick markup, but as gimmick markups on gravestones go that's not that expensive. Not because that's reasonable but because there's so much guilting people into spending at least 4 figures while they're grieving.

The conversion for eMPG (which yes, is possibly the most cursed of units) is ~33 kwh equals a gallon. My PNW home electricity prices are pretty low, but that puts an eGallon at ~$2.97.

If anything I think that number is misleadingly high, but that's part of why it's possibly the most cursed unit.
