    AI is pushing us backwards - instead of leading to cheaper stuff for the commoners, its leading to more expensive stuff as our future overlords generate more and more component demand.

    Disclosure Day (2026)

    Yes, The Lost World movie was almost nothing like the book - may have had entirely different plots and characters altogether. I read the hardcover right when it came out - its been so long I don't remember the book details too much - but when I saw the movie was like, wtf is this?. What I...

    2025-26 Season - Roundball Rock is Back

    This is the wrong take. Spurs are the youngest team in history to make it to this point - they're not supposed to be here to begin with. For reference, KD/Westbrick/Harden were 23/23/22 when they made the finals against the Heat and had already suffered multiple playoff eliminations in years...

    2025-26 Season - Roundball Rock is Back

    If it was rigged why make that call early in the game and nothing later to help seal the deal? Watching in real time, it looked like it was going to be very short and Robinson went up for it like he was expecting a lob. Both those things could have swayed to officials to not think goaltending...

    Last night was too much, legendary. The logo 3 to tie it in OT1 was literally almost from the same spot on the OKC floor Steph hit the "Bang, Bang!" shot from. They needed Mike Breen there to announce that because the reaction Reggie and the other guy gave wasn't enough - for him to hit that...

    I don't think Fox is the Spurs second best player at this point. Its Castle, and Harper is quickly threatening to jump into that second spot. Castle's poster on SGA was Sick, was fouled too. That was an all-timer game for sure. These teams were must watch against each other during the...

    I think it would greatly reduce it. Since being in the cellar would no longer be rewarded at all (the 3 worst records will actually have lower odds than the 4-10th worst), bad teams would definitely try to win more games. They would stop sitting their best players past certain points in the...

    Its not just Wemby - Spurs may have the best trio of young stars since KD/Russ/Harden. Still very TBD but its impressive what they are doing now, well ahead of schedule.

    I find Eric Weinstein more annoying than Jesse Michels though. Both Thiel disciples, but Weinstein is even more full of hot air. He presents himself as some great physicist. He has some airy "theory of everything" called geometric unity that he has never published a real paper on. In fact...

    If she was actually accomplishing anything in AI I don't think they'd have moved her, since that is their current focus above all. And since they haven't been doing well in that space I think... she probably hasn't been. She may have done a good job looking like she was pushing goals and...

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    Rule book doesn't say anything about how long you have to possess the ball to "survive the ground." I say he had control, "survived the ground," and then the DB ripped it out of his hands when he was down. The guy in the video, whoever he is with his 339 subscribers lol, says after he hits...

    Not a Bills fan. Explain to me again how this isn't a catch for the receiver? He has control as soon as the ball hits his hands, control to the ground, control during his roll, and doesn't lose the ball until its ripped away from him. Defender never had any possession until the receiver was...

    IV for life. I played enough of V and monitored enough of VI and VII to know I didn't want to even buy those. At this point I feel like buying these newer Civ games is akin to paying to go to trash new Star Wars movies. They can assassinate one of my favorite franchises; I'm not going to give...

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    I thought it was a bullshit call on the Broncos final INT - it was weird to me that nobody on the broadcast was questioning it. Like he clearly seemed to have possession before he hit the ground, then hits the ground (down), and only then did the CB very quickly gain some kind of possession of...

    The unsportsmanlike conduct call was meaningless, game was over after the 2nd PI call. Brutal way to lose - I felt like the pick could have easily been called a catch for Bill's which would have set up the game winner for them.

    Most likely they did some investigation into the possibility it was technological, that it could rendez-vous with earth with a maneuver. A prominent scientist was out there saying it was possible - seems prudent that may have at least investigated it. Even if they came to the conclusion that...

    Not quite enough shares for covered calls. I've also noticed looking at the chart 4 out of the last 5 years, March/April has been an optimal buying time for Tesla where it dips from winter into spring. Probably just coincidence, and 2022 didn't follow the trend.

    Yeah thinking of selling some. Long term very bullish on Tesla due to robotaxi and especially Optimus, but its going to be so long before either of those really start affecting the top line I think, and its bumped down off of these 460ish levels multiple times before. I want to be in it, but...

    So we know 3I/Atlas showed non-gravitational acceleration at perihelion, much larger acceleration than any previous comet at that distance, but the course change overall was still piddling. However, new evaluation shows the course change was just enough so that the object will be on the edge of...

    Nearly everything about it has been odd. Everybody who has been saying "Its a comet, its a comet, its a comet!" without explaining all the oddities since the start has been getting owned. Yeah maybe its still a natural object, but its not like any comet we've seen before.
