Glad to see he has a sense of humor about his movies being riffed. Rifftrax has done a handful of his movies and they’re all good.

Just Peertube. I’ve been orphaned from my Mastodon instance and I don’t think I’m going to sign up for another one.

I mainly use Llama-3-8B abliterated for everyday questions, and DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Lite for programming/Linux stuff.

It’s been pretty lackluster so far. Embedded(includes FPGA) is one of AMD’s lowest performing divisions, along with gaming. They’ve used Xilinx circuitry in Ryzen AI CPUs (XDNA), but those have been slow to catch on.

There’s a lot of copium in the AMD_Stock sub about how Lisa is playing the long game and Xilinx will pay off over time, but for now, it’s a drag on revenue, operating margins and return on equity.

We paid $40B+ for a company that brought in less than 1.5B last year. - AMD bagholder, avg price $140😐

As long as I can disable it or opt out of it, I don’t mind. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I don’t want videos recommended to me.

With Youtube, it’s not a big deal because I never log in there, I browse in private mode and set firefox to delete cookies. So when I go to Youtube, I just get a blank page with no recommendations.

But with Peertube, I need to login to get full functionality (federated search, etc). So I would need an option to turn off video recommendations or whatever.

As a computer guy, I can appreciate that working with data is cool - there’s a lot of neat stuff you can determine from it. As a user, it creeps me out. If I went my favorite restaurant, and the waitress recommended something based on the last 5 times I ate there, I would stop going to that restaurant.

I agree. I live in the US, and while I love my country, the current situation shows how bad it is to have 1 giant player who influences everyone else.

I’m in favor of consolidating things away from lemmy.world. No offense to that instance, but centralization is a threat to the fediverse.

Those results are pretty promising. Sadly, my country would never go for it.

As a Rifftrax fan, I never knew about Soultaker. But after seeing San Franpsycho, I’m open to seeing any Joe Estevez movie riffed.

Thought you’d never ask. https://youtu.be/i-jdhorGtQI?t=17

I hate it too. I’m a bit of a slow talker, so it happened to me a lot.

My pet peeve is people downvoting in communities they aren’t subscribed to about posts they aren’t interested in. They just sort by new, and when they see something they don’t like, they smash that downvote button without even looking at the post or contents.

Part of it is because we all have unlimited votes; people vote without thinking. It would be different if everyone had a finite number of votes to use. And you get awarded a few votes for making a comment or post. Maybe award extra votes for commenting in small communities.

This would serve 2 purposes. 1.) People would use their votes a lot more thoughtfully. 2.) It would encourage people to comment and post more.

The downside is that someone could set up a bot to spam posts and comments into a dead community just to rack up votes.

Newsflash! US no longer has a monopoly on stock photos of worried looking traders. South Korea ups the ante with a much cooler trading floor and 60% sexier traders. 😍

If it clears out some of the margin traders, short sellers, options traders, and speculators, I’m ok with it. 🔥

I think it’s going to take months for this tariff situation to stabilize. For us here in the US, economists are already predicting -1% gross domestic product growth, so if that happens, we’re halfway into a recession. The tariffs will be enough to push us over the edge.

It’s going to turn into a game of chicken to see who comes to the table first asking for a deal. If the European and Asian countries stick together, they can outlast Trump.

Trump is going to be under pressure to get this resolved before the mid-term elections next November. US presidents typically lose a few Senate and House seats in mid-terms, but after tanking the economy for no good reason, this could be a disaster for his party.

Intel has spent a lot of money trying to get 18A online, a lot of borrowed money. And I don’t see a lot of companies lining up to use it.

18A sounds better than TSMC’s 2N, but it might just turn out to be too expensive for customers, especially if a global recession hits.

Just my 2¢.

If this is winning, I’ll admit I’m tired of it.

I haven’t sold anything, but looking at today’s after-hours, I kind of wish I did. I have a feeling this is going to be a long summer.

Thanks. That looks really good.

I don’t think he was a bad advisor, but his typical client would be someone in their 50s or later; someone who needs to start shifting to fixed income or bond funds. For me, in my 20s, I saw no need for that stuff; I wanted to be all in on stock.

And if it goes badly — like a recession popping up right after you help them, you can end up the target of frustrations and strain a relationship.

That’s one of my biggest worries. Stock valuations are pretty high right now, so it’s possible they could fall … a lot. For someone just starting out, a 10-20% drop is a big deal.

Then, there’s the fact that what worked for me might not work for them. When I entered the workforce in the early 90’s, all I knew was “buy stocks” and “buy real estate”. Both those markets have gotten really frothy over the years and I don’t think they’re going to continue giving the same gains that my generation got. Young folks today might be better off with their Hawk Tuah coins or Skibidi bonds or whatever. 🙂

I was lucky to be able to care for my parents in their final days. I’m not a great cook, but I did my best. Sandwich day was usually grilled turkey & cheese or plain turkey, cheese, tomato, lettuce, etc. Always a diagonal cut. Plus a bowl of chicken noodle soup with saltine crackers. Good memories.
