The companies being talked about are the picks and shovels guys. Sandisk, Crucial, Nvidia, Oracle. The ones that should actually be making money now, and so far have been.
Jesus Christ, it’s not even a long article, you can just read it and know this stuff before you comment.
Yeah, unerring faith in the magical powers of Elon continues to be a hell of a drug. Tesla does not remotely justify its current valuation either.
They would have to realize that profit and to do that they’d have to sell. Any meaningful quantity of “average buyers” cashing out would certainly result in most of them selling at a loss as the price dips below their break even.
Ask them. If they refuse to answer, that’s all the answer you need.
You’re a little behind on posting this. C-22 has now passed, although this is not the end of the process. It will proceed to debate in the Senate, which is where pressure now needs to be applied.
It is also important to keep hammering your MPs about this. Express your disgust. Tell them how disappointed you are in both this terrible law and this terrible process. Laws can still be changed. Even if this goes into effect as is, the government can still be convinced to back off from actually enforcing it, and it can still be modified or repealed.
Do not accept bad laws. Continue to fight them, forever. Laws can always be changed.
from the
/gat the end (and the spaces on the edges) i agree it looks like a malformed attempt at an awk/perl/etc substitution
The /g at the end is the global operater. It means, roughly, match across the entire input string.
This is completely valid regex, not a malformed attempt at anything. It’s just that the delimiters and operators are often omitted from regex in practical use so you may not be used to seeing them.
Honestly, this is so hilarious. The Russians threatened to publish their address, and Sentinel’s reaction has more or less been “Thanks for the free advertising, but could you include our email and phone number as well?”
Agreed, Horizon: Zero Dawn is a truly excellent game. It’s saddled with the usual Ubisoft design elements (map full of things to tick off, towers to unlock areas, etc), but none of that gets in the way of how fun the gameplay is and how good the story is.
It’s one of the few video game stories that has really, really stuck with me. Some moments in that game are genuine gut punches that will leave you reeling.
I really enjoyed Sable. It’s not the biggest or most complicated game, but it’s beautiful, thoughtfully written, and really pulls you into its world. I loved just zooming across the wastes on my bike wondering what I would explore next. Incredibly chill.

When you accidentally reinvent corporate taxes.
that i have to quit after spending 100 hours on it unable to finish the main story,
Look, no offense, but I’ve watched a player who plays on controller because her RSI is too bad for mouse and keyboard, who has no idea how to use the modding system and who plays the same frame all the time without even using their powers because she likes the drip complete the main story despite only playing when she’s on stream and only streaming the game for about two hours a week.
I’m not questioning your truthfulness here, everyone is different. But if you genuinely couldn’t complete Warframe’s main story, you are such an extreme example as to almost be unique. I’m sorry to hear that, but I want to stress to anyone else reading this how wildly unusual your experience of the game is.
Personally, I’d argue that Warframe is “grindy”, but that’s OK because the grind is the game. You’re always grinding for something, always working your way up one of the various progression treadmills, but that works because a) the gameplay itself is fun, so you’re not just clicking buttons to fill bars, and b) there’s such a huge variety of different things to progress and different ways to progress them that you can never get bored or feel like you’re being forced into certain content to move forward. You always have the option to just switch to something else. Warframe is a massive all you can eat buffet of gameplay and you get to decide exactly what you want to take from it.
I’ve played a fair bit of the beta, and I do absolutely recommend checking this out. More than anything else the thing that stuck out to me was how absolutely frictionless everything feels. I don’t really know a good way to describe it other than to say that a lot of thought has clearly been put into making every single interaction feel good. Like… There’s a button to summon a little guide, and your character snaps their fingers when they do it. The sound design on the snap is just… Satisfying. It feels good, every time you do it. Every part of the game is like that.
Combat is great. There’s a real feeling of flow, and you get a lot of tools to play with. You can throw your weapon and then summon it back like Mjolnir. You can stagger enemies and then rip mana out of them. You can parry into a finisher in one smooth motion and it feels so good when you pull it off. And all of that is without even using your class abilities.
The setting is weird in a good way. I’m curious to see where they’re going with the story. Like Warframe (and this is really one of the very few ways it is at all like Warframe) you can seamlessly switch classes and weapon loadouts whenever you like, so there’s tonnes of gameplay variety just in trying out different builds.
Most importantly though, the game has a big theme of protecting nature, and the animators more than rose to the challenge. There are a lot of adorable little critters in this game for you to give hugs and scritches to, and the animations are top notch every time. If you want to pet every critter you meet in a game, this game is for you. Despite the soulsborne nods, the biggest Japanese influence here is definitely Studio Ghibli.
Calling it soulframe was the worst decision they could have made. I’ve played both and they are very, very different games in almost every respect. I genuinely suggest you actually give it a try before writing it off. Like Warframe it’ll be free to play, so what do you have to lose?
Zen is also really nice (based on Firefox like Librewolf).
You name a fair point here. I think the part where they’re using an LLM for natural language processing makes a lot of sense. Being able to describe something you don’t know the name of is a genuinely helpful feature. But you’re right that a better implementation would drop the wasteful image generation in place of searching up real images from their product library (which they’re still doing anyway because at some point they have to find a real product to sell you). It feels like that step was maybe added to make it “more AI”, probably at a manager’s insistence.

I guess I should specify that I’m selfhosting Notesnook, so the data never leaves my personal device ecosystem, and the central sync server is a big plus for me. No account required either (apart from the ones I create on the server I control).
I don’t think there is a correct way. Just be honest and personal. That’s going to mean a lot more than writing something that sounds like you filled in the blanks. Be polite, but be forthright. If you’re angry, say that you’re angry. If you’re upset, say that you’re upset. Don’t swear at them or hurl insults, but don’t hold back about your feelings. They need to know what voters think, they’re not going to get that from you trying to write a cover letter.
