I managed to get a Mercedes C-Class for under 300 a month, was 3 years old at the time, with 140k km. APR was under 4%… Until Putin attacked Ukraine anyway, after that EURIBOR went up and so did my rate lol, must’ve been about 8% APR at peak (interest rate was around 6%). Best car I’ve ever had and the monthly payment was low enough that it easily made up for all the time I spent in the garage on all of my older cars.
Oh mine’s kinda the opposite. First word was “Thank you” (or “aitäh” actually)
Of course “thank you” is said when giving or receiving as well as when asking for something. And there was one time the smartass decided to say “thank you” and jump towards me from the couch.

Sorry, I only hold safemoons and assorted memecoins named after Musk and Trump
Uh solar panels cost a bunch of money to make and they take a ton of space, which means buying extra land
Who gets to decide the exact profit margin all companies must stick to?
What’s the point in coming up with an entire new language for them if they can just write English and humans will also understand it?
Kinda pointless to have LLMs optimised to produce garbage humans can’t understand because at the end, your goal is still to produce something humans will consume.
Plenty of people have laptops or old office desktops. Fiber is available pretty widely in much of the developed world and in a dense city 5G is likely to be better than copper. Availability of a decent connection is location dependent, ability to drop a grand on a console is dependent on your finances. Some people might live in a city but not have that much disposable income.
E.g in Romania, gigabit connection is 8 euros a month. Basically anyone can get it. But I don’t think bandwidth is anywhere near as important as latency. So the availability is even more location dependent
Okay, not as bad as I thought, there’s a guy selling a 4090 for “only” 2k. There’s nobody selling a 3090 in the local hardware forum. I’m not going to buy off ebay because if someone on ebay sells a dud, I can’t go back to punch him in the face.
5090s start at about 5200, that’s true. To be fair, the “4-5k” for a used 3090 was a bit hyperbolic, I’m just mad that they’re so expensive that my last 2 cars cost less than a USED 4090.
Aaaand downvotes from people who never read the article, we’ve reached peak reddit.
This is from an earnings call. He 1) says that increasing hardware prices are not a good thing and 2) thinks streaming is starting to be ready enough that people who can’t afford gaming PCs or consoles, can stream the games instead.
This came from a lengthy answer given in Take-Two’s quarterly earnings call this morning by Strauss Zelnick, in response to a question about the rising cost of hardware. He began his reply by saying that the rising price of hardware is “not a good thing” because it means fewer people will have machines on which to play games, but that it won’t slow Take-Two down as a business, “because we’re delivering experiences that people want.”
But Zelnick continued with a really interesting response about streaming. First, he pointed out that the world is increasingly moving to open systems, as demonstrated by the rise of PC gaming over the last 20 years. Then, he continued:
With the advent of streaming—which we really do believe is around the corner in terms of having something that’s low latency, and really works well for consumers—machines that weren’t game machines before will become game machines. So, without regard to what happens in the console business, which is of consequence to us, of course, we see the overall install base as a practical matter growing materially. And if you believe in streaming, to be clear, we really do, and I’m happy to put a timeline on it. I think we’ll be in commercial streaming mode in three years, and by commercial I mean low latency. That can 10x the effective the install base. That doesn’t mean we’re going to 10x our revenue, and we wouldn’t project that we would, because obviously your avid consumers already have access to video game machines. But I do think it creates great opportunity for titles that are broadly desirable even outside of core markets, and we do have titles like that, obviously.
This is VERY different from what the headline suggests, of course Kotaku editorialized the fuck out of it.
If you read it, he says it’s a way to reach those who don’t have machines capable of running the games, therefore increasing the target audience size.
That’s how you know this was written by a human tbh. The original template, not the individual email
Your newer car will also tell you EXACTLY which sensors are showing bad data and whether it’s an electrical fault in the sensor’s circuit or implausible input, etc. Unfortunately you need a scan tool for it, but depending on the make you might find a decent free or cheap app to use a generic ELM327 or better, STNN1110 based OBD2 tool, that lets you scan all the modules rather than just OBD2 standard stuff.
So rather than playing parts darts or verifying every sensor by multimeter using known resistance ranges or putting up with bad fuel economy and low power… You just scan the thing and it’ll tell you.
I’ve owned cars from the '90s, '00s and '10s (2019 being the latest) and while my cars from '10s didn’t have sensor issues, I’ll tell you that I’ll take the complex and super hated '00s German cars over the early '90s one ANY day of the week. Super easy to diagnose.
Why does what need root access? The person paying for the hosting? So they can install software cloudflare doesn’t offer for example.
It exists but nobody wants to use it. We’re a minority. Most want to open “the app” and not spend any effort finding things.
The tokens ARE language. They’re just words or parts of words.
If you’re using a western LLM, English IS its strongest language. Otherwise it might be Chinese or English.
There’s no “LLM native language” to convert to for efficiency. Maybe pseudocode or actual code for things where you need to disambiguate.
A used 3090 alone is like what, 4-5k now?
Your setup isn’t really achievable for most now.
I’m listening to the audiobook. This time I just remember the meanings. The important ones at least
They’ve been doing that FOMO thing for a while unfortunately. The last GTA that got a simultaneous console + PC release was GTA 2.
I’ve never heard of it in any context other than illegal shit.
