Why dump more resources into something, that you don’t need to, because there’s a very serviceable option already prepped for sale?

I was under the (mistaken) impression he stepped away when he left to work at MS.

Huh. I thought he had stepped away when he left for MS…

Another good reason Poettering left the project. This was a hill he wanted to die on… glibc only.

How often does he go to Olive Garden!?!?!

Good for them, standing on principle 😁

No.

Good to know that pretty much anything looks fine on my TV, at typical viewing distances.

Space itself expanding doesnt, however…

A teapot created with out solar system orbiting the sun fits our models, with an extremely low probability.

However, we dont work on that assumption being true.

Matter and energy can be converted. So, its possible it was never created, it just always was.

Sure! Big crunch is a possibility! Crunch or heat death, all matters on how much matter is in the universe.

Until evidence shows otherwise, new matter being created doesnt fit our observations.

Go prove that wrong! Win yourself a Nobel prize in physics! That’s what science is about!

Yes, but we don’t have proof that universe can’t generate new matter.

True… we also don’t have proof there isn’t a tea pot orbiting our Sun since it’s creation, either.

However, there’s also a complete lack of evidence of it.

You cannot prove a negative. The evidence says no new matter can be created. No evidence that new matter gets created. Therefore, we work on the model of no new matter creation.

A delusional market, is, by definition a bubble.

It is not “normal” to run a 4 year money loser and claiming to be worth billions.

Only in made up financial land does that work, and causes cyclic depressions where the working class loses wealth, and the oligarchs further concentrate wealth in their hands.

And you said its driven by companies making money… the big AI companies driving this bubble are losing money.

Being in a non-federal government job, in a non insane state.

The problem isn’t the imaginary market, which I agree with the description. Its the leveraging of debt, to gamble in the market, which is what low interest rates enable.

And yes, our interest rates are VERY low still. I’m looking at some ARM packages right now, and their max lifetime interest rates are on par with what a typical mortgage was about a decade ago.

The vast majority of what’s happening here is not debt.

Most of what is going on in the AI sector is most certainly debt leveraged. Like, I’m looking at the books for several companies deep into AI.

I mean, how much profit is OpenAI turning right now?

Goldman Sachs also though NINA mortgages were a good idea, and they also thought it was a good idea to bundle bad mortgages in with good mortgages, and find a rater to mark them AAA investments.

And then we saw how that worked out.
