“Nvidia Gives Strong Forecast, Countering Fears of AI Bubble”
I very much disagree with this framing. People buying lots of Nvidia GPUs tells us nothing about the eventual ROI on those GPUs.
In fact, a bubble effectively <requires> “too many” of these to be bought.

"I still think environmentalism is basically bad" is just his old "sweatshop workers should have the freedom to die making my clothes" shtick but applied to climate change. Casual indifference to human suffering is his M.O. and always has been, since he became famous for supporting the 2003 Iraq War

Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

Lots of people comparing Senate Democrats to Charlie Brown trying to kick the football, but that analogy only works in a version where Lucy has told Charlie Brown she's going to pull it away, and also that afterwards she's going to have Snoopy executed in a foreign prison
