In addition to the other replies you got, if you're interested there's a book called It Came From Something Awful that explains a lot of internet history.

Checking in with a Ryzen 7600 and an Nvidia 2060. Runs fine no complaints, medium-high settings. I didn't know there was outcry about poor optimization until I saw this article here.

A lot of comedy/skit shows are like that. We take the good with the bad I guess

Rates needed to rise before it was going to come to pass.

“ The dotcom bubble burst when capital began to dry up. In the years preceding the bubble, record-low interest rates, the adoption of the Internet, and interest in technology companies allowed capital to flow freely, especially to startup companies that had no track record of success.”

To me it makes perfect sense that they are more granular during times when volatility is up and inflation is a concern. Otherwise everyone would be (rightfully) complaining that they are using outdated models when inflation needs to be gotten under control.

Besides, the new weighting is public. It didn't change all that much. I'm not going to run the numbers but the napkin math says 1) it wouldnt significantly change the headline rate and 2) it wouldnt change what we take away: it's artificially lowered by volatile items like gasoline, and underlying consistent categories are still too hot for the BoC. So while it's true that the headline rate is "bullshit", it's not because they changed the weighting.
