That would take so long to put together

But would be so fun

[icy pecan]

Honestly I was never one for legos

[grand falcon]

There's also a bumblebee for $90

I'm so tempted to get both.....

[icy pecan]

That’s a lot of money

[frozen bluff]

Lego is very well known for insanely jacked prices

Paying more for the brand name than anything else, really

[grand falcon]

But, think of the display

[grand falcon]

Factually incorrect

Take that Optimus prime set for example

Your getting 1508 Lego pieces, compare that with the price which is $180

That's $0.12 your paying, for each piece

It costs Lego, about $0.11 to make 1 Lego piece

So your paying $0.01 more then what it cost them to actually make it

[frozen bluff]

Two different results, interesting 🤔

Are you located in 'straya?

Actually, nah. They're not different results. You're comparing the average cost of a lego piece versus the actual average cost of production

[icy pecan]

I just never had the patience nor creativity for legos so

[grand falcon]

You don't need creativity

They come with instructions 😎

[frozen bluff]

Sale price is almost always higher than production price. Company's gotta make profit somehow. I'm not shocked that Lego sells at an average 400-500% markup

[grand falcon]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/594661998915223583/1254193341084598423/image.png?ex=66789a12&is=66774892&hm=bec1b948580d4a1c5c5afe4e09d8688b0092f2da52b6842447160c32ece29d0d&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=825&height=316

[frozen bluff]

Again... The price of a Lego piece, determined by Lego, is ~11 cents.
The price of production per piece is around 2-3 cents.

[weak depot]

Cough cough penicillin

[frozen bluff]

MSRP ≠ Sale price

[frozen bluff]

I'm allergic to that

[grand falcon]

how much does it cost to MANUFACTURER

It costs the company $0.11 to MANUFACTURER a Lego piece

[queen vale]

Manufacture Deez Nutz

[grand falcon]

if you BUY a 1508 PIECE SET

your PAYING THE COMPANY $0.12 PER PIECE

[frozen bluff]

Manufacturing cost is determined by material and labor. No, they're not manufacturing pieces of plastic for a higher price than it costs the US government to make pennies. That's asinine.

Yes, you are paying the company that much per piece, because that is how much they've determined said pieces are worth. That's how Lego makes profit.

[grand falcon]

🤦

[frozen bluff]

Gotteem

[grand falcon]

also, that comprison to goverment money is insanely dumb

making a single dollare bill costs the goverment $0.05, so are you saying a penny is half of a dollar? because it costs the goverment $0.03 to make a single penny??

you all thought $0.50 was half of a dollar? HA WRONG, half of $1 is actually $0.01

[frozen bluff]

It's not, you're just not understanding my comparison. True, it costs the government pennies to make a dollar. But the dollar is worth a hundred times a penny... Because that is the dollar's worth... According to the government.

It's the same thing with Lego. The material and labor per brick is 2 or 3 cents. But to Lego in relation to their consumer, each brick is worth 11 cents.

[grand falcon]

and, by this logic, a quarter is worth more then $1 because it costs the goverment $0.11 to make 1 quarter

[frozen bluff]

MSRP ≠ consumer price.

[grand falcon]

everyone make sure you save your quarters, they are worth more then $1

[frozen bluff]

This has been the standard for manufacturing companies for a long time. If Lego sold their sets at the cost to make them, then the company would go bankrupt pretty quickly.

[humble parrot]

Slowly blocking the entire server.

Even Cynic

Amazing

[grand falcon]

ah yes yes yes, 0.11 is equal to 0.12 yes yes

[frozen bluff]

Unironically, silver quarters are worth a lot more than a dollar.

I have quite a few; am collector.

[grand falcon]

oik so in this persons mind

$0.01 is half of a dollar

a quarter is worth more then $1

and 0.11 is equal to 0.12

[grand falcon]

all my math classes have been lies 😔

[icy pecan]

The Lego company also has to pay the employees so they have to mark up the price

[queen vale]

To be fair, the cost of printing and manufacturing can be more in some cases than the "value" of the end product, I think was it 1 cent coins or pennies used to have a higher value as scrap metal than the printed coin.

The hyperinflation of a currency can also mean those notes you once had that cost 0.01 to print may be worth 0.0001 of their face value, and actually have more value and benefit as raw products

[frozen bluff]

The worth of a product is determined by the company selling the product.

The cost of manufacturing is determined by the suppliers and company for their labor.

The cost of manufacturing has to be cheaper so they can perform well. I'm not going to sell a handmade wooden craft for pennies more than the cost of the wood.

[frozen bluff]

Yep, because pennies used to be made of 100% copper. It cost more to make than their face value. This is why they changed the makeup

[grand falcon]

correct and when your selling billions of legos every single day, that money adds up fast

[queen vale]

Also in Lego's case they have above average up front costs with materials and the moulds, as they build the bricks to a very tight tolerance so go through the moulds quicker

They also pretty much automate a massive chunk of manufacturing, including the warehouse side

[frozen bluff]

Mhm. So they have to sell at a pretty high markup to be able to support their operations and make profit.

[grand falcon]

exaclty

more automation = less employees = cheaper product

[queen vale]

Seems that way from what I've learned about Lego manufacturing

[frozen bluff]

Even if it costs 2-3 cents for the production of a LEGO piece, you, the customer, will pay the 11 or 12 cents for the final product

That's just how it is

[grand falcon]

it costs them $0.11 to make 1 lego piece

[queen vale]

Not always the case, especially in terms of up front costs for the equipment, R&D of working out how to automate, maintainance - it may work out "cheaper" by the fact the machines go 24/7, but if one breaks or fails it's a lot more expensive than hiring a temp contractor

[frozen bluff]

That's how it is with most manufacturing. I worked for Honda for about 2 and a half years. It cost them anywhere between $13k-$16k to build one of their vehicles... I promise you they aren't selling for that much new.

[grand falcon]

i mean when you own a company worth $8billion, fixing a machine is pocket change

[frozen bluff]

Maintenance?! Go for maintenance 🛠️

[queen vale]

Eeeeh not always - having a "hot spare" of a machine ready to swap in isn't cheap, as it's a machine that's not making money, and the downtime of swapping out (if it can even be done easily) can be painful. The finance side is pocket change, but the time and impact on production can be much higher

[frozen bluff]

Aaaaaannnd this is why most manufacturers have an in-house maintenance crew. That's me!

[humble parrot]

😆

[grand falcon]

the amount of legos they produce, is far more then what they sell in days

[queen vale]

Oh absolutely, and they do have a significant backlog of stock, but also have to not overproduce as storing that stock is spending money, which isn't making money out on store shelves

[grand falcon]

lets say they produce a pokemon lego set, and no one buys it, or isnt selling good

those peices arent just thrown out, they are reused for future products

thats why majority of lego pieces dont have "printed on decals", because if they do have printed on decals, those pieces cant be reused

(im talking about sets stored in their own storage places....god knows how much walamrt and shit throw out)

[queen vale]

Some of the pieces can be re-used, and they have entire teams dedicated to that, and making designs with existing block lines

[grand falcon]

exactly, which is why overstocking isnt an issue

[frozen bluff]

My dinner is almost ready

[grand falcon]

not to mention, they also sell big buckets of just random pieces

so "overstock" is never an issue for them

[frozen bluff]

Repurposing pieces and parts has always been a good business strategy because it cuts loss.

[queen vale]

As long as they are in good / safe condition cough boeing cough

[frozen bluff]

😂 True. Boeing has been rather bad about quality control.

QC/QAP/QA is one thing that Honda was always fiercely vigilant about

[grand falcon]

Or as long as it's actually useable

You can't use a square for something that requires a circle

[queen vale]

You'd be horrified if you knew how many places try this

[grand falcon]

Ya and they catch lawsuits

[frozen bluff]

My place makes it work. If something doesn't fit, we have grinders, torches, and plasma cutters for a reason.

[queen vale]

And people die when it's a safety critical part

[frozen bluff]

The engineers where I work get paid too much to be bad at their jobs

[grand falcon]

Yup

[frozen bluff]

We don't ever use anything that's not in good condition or safe. Too much can go wrong

We will literally throw away entire motors, no matter how expensive they are, if they have a critical part failure.

[queen vale]

As it should be

[frozen bluff]

Not to worry, the bits and pieces do get recycled. But it's always better to get it new than chance someone fixing it wrong

Literally every rpg for the last 15 years has been a “wow killer” it’s never gonna happen. Unless WoW 2 happens.

I am looking forward to the A2 of Ashes though. I played the original alpha and it was pretty damn cool.

[small berry]

I mean, Ashes will be a huge mmorpg, the likes of Lineage

will it kill wow, I think the chances of that are not 0

WoW is alive and has been alive cause people haven't had anything that can make them move on

people didn't stop playing the actually great mmorpgs cause they just felt like it, they had a superior alternative and I think Ashes will be what WoW was

And it's not just me saying that from the POV of someone that wants to play it and believes the potential the game has will be made possible.

The project is probably the most solid mmorpg project we've had in the history of gaming, not subject to investors and with a slow and steady development with an engine that kicks ass

It's like the moral highground version of Star citizen with double the work done

And the fact it wants to compete with WoWs business model directly and they're not trying something else besides a monthly subscription makes me think most WoW players will play one or the other, not both and Ashes will be HAWT

[junior hawk]

I hope so man. Alpha 2 is Q3 of this year. I’ll tell you exactly how great it is. May even stream it if it’s not restricted.

WoW had its issues with that, plenty of em, but you always had somewhere else to go

as long as enough people play it, snowflakes can take over their niche and stay in their bubble, the rest can enjoy its diversity

[small berry]

I think it's always cool to see social experiments like that happen, god knows what will drive clans to do things, what allegiances will be like

in general it's a rather big responsibility in the community for it to be fun for as many people as possible and keep the players playin'

[queen vale]

This video and the claim it's referencing are absurd.

1. Steams Pricing restriction is only for Steam Key pricing off-platform. Meaning you cannot use Steam as a distribution hub and sell Steam keys off-platform for cheaper. This prevents Valve from getting ripped off and is absolutely fine. They do not dictate the lowest price your game can be sold for unless you are using Steam Keys.

2. Of course Valve doesn't let you buy DLC for Steam Games from rival platforms. That would mean Steam would then have to distribute this DLC despite not making a sale. They have to pay for this bandwidth. For those that think you can do this through Humble Bundle or the like... you are buying a Steam Key there. Don't make me get the stick.

3. The Steam 30% cut is not actually 30%. It's 30% for all sales made on the Steam Platform. If you sell Steam Keys, Valve takes a 0% cut of that transaction. They also don't charge for generating steam keys. The claim that the 30% is egregious is also a subjective opinion as many developers (myself included) find that the value brought by steam is well worth it.

You can read everything about Steams partner agreement and more in the Steamworks Documentation. It's public information.

[olive seal]

If a girl says all she wants for her birthday is chocolate and to talk to me, it means she flirting right? all i should give is chocolate right? Would 5 pounds come as going to fast ?

Ugh I’m just gonna ghost her, this is too hard

[distant yarrow]

Depends how long you've known her, sometimes people's intention is not to be flirtatious. If you aren't sure you should ask her, if she's crazy she'd act like a b about it. If she's normal then she'd explain the way she meant that.

[olive seal]

Thank you

[night plume]

I am more for the "ask and be sure" approach. She could really just enjoy that you are a great friend she can talk to and know she has, but could also means she likes you more than a friend. Just my opinion that it is better to ask and explain you don't want to misread something.

And there is the issue of, what mind of chocolate? There are sooooooooo many different types of chocolate

[tough comet]

installing the horror

[olive seal]

Milk chocolate is the safest bet but ima ask anyway

Is she says dark chocolate I’m going to block her

[hearty sonnet]

Brutal

[distant yarrow]

That is harsh XD

[humble parrot]

😂

[hearty sonnet]

You're making it harder than it has to be lol

If a girl likes dark chocolate, her tastes are probably just a little more refined, not a bad thing

Just don't get her a Big Turk bar, 0% success rate for those

[distant yarrow]

or chocolate soda

[teal iron]

I think both types of chocolate are delicious but milk chocolate is like
Consistently OK and dark chocolate is entering flavor gamble town

[olive seal]

It would be easier if they just tell me “I want 50 dollars for chocolate for my birthday” . That would be the best scenario….. chocolate soda is a thing???

[teal iron]

Some dark chocolate
Simply divine
Other dark chocolate tastes like someone just sold me dirt and mud with a bittering agent

Damn, this was posted in another server....talk about perfect timing

[distant yarrow]

When I was in highschool one of our friends came in like Arizona had this new chocolate soda thing so I wanted to try it. They did and man were they dying XD

[frozen bluff]

Chocolate soda is just nasty x.x

[queen vale]

Let me make sure I read this right, are you talking about 5 pounds as in weight of chocolate or money for one?
Also just ghosting them because you can't make a decision's pretty cold

[tough comet]

we shall not mention beef jerky soda....

[frozen bluff]

Flavor combination that shouldn't be a thing

[distant yarrow]

⚰️

[humble parrot]

Give her chocolate.

[olive seal]

Don’t have many friends for a reason 😭. And my local farmers market sells 1 pound for like 10 dollars.

[humble parrot]

Don't overthink it

[distant yarrow]

Yikes, that's more expensive than here in NYC .-.

[frozen bluff]

$10/lb sounds exorbitant 😬

[queen vale]

You're way overthinking it.
Let's boil it down.
Do you like her? Do you wish to attempt to persue a friendship or relationship with her?
Getting chocolate for a friend is entirely acceptable, but getting them $50 worth might be seen as overkill, especially if you are not interested in a friendship or relationship further down the lines

[frozen bluff]

Also good afternoon y'all

[distant yarrow]

Wait, do you perhaps live somewhere, where fatty, processed things are intentionally much more expensive?

[olive seal]

In my mind it sounded like a good deal but now that I’m thinking about it, it is expensive 😭

[distant yarrow]

Also good afternoon Mr Maintenance mouse~

[humble parrot]

Afternoon Cynic

[queen vale]

It is expensive, especially when your second thought was just to ghost the poor girl instead - gifts of that dollar value are generally for people you have a good friendship with

[olive seal]

If a rock told me she liked me i would buy her 10 pounds of chocolate for her/it. Idk if that answer your question.

[frozen bluff]

You ought to visit a chocolatier to see if you can find something unique, rather than going with your typical name brand Hershey's or whatever. People are (usually) smart enough to notice effort. It's a good conversation starter as well. "oh I've never seen this anywhere before"

[queen vale]

I'd spend £50 on some very close friends, but it's not something I'd spend on a casual aquaintance (Or for an hourly rate you pervs)

[queen vale]

It answers a lot actually.
Don't rely as much on people directly telling you they like you, I suspect you have issues with .. reading social cues from people (I'm not critisizing!) and are having problems with trying to give the "right" response, yes?

[frozen bluff]

Forever thankful I'm not that depraved 🙏

[distant yarrow]

Yeah, that's why I told him to just ask her, it's a good way to test her mental capacity.

[olive seal]

I do have a lot of mental problems that have already been diagnosed and that I am in treatment for. One of them being social anxiety 😭

[hearty sonnet]

Just axe her a question 🪓

[distant yarrow]

A crazy person would be offended that you couldn't basically read their mind and understand everything the way they mean it. A normal person would be chill and just give you clarity on what they mean. XD

[hearty sonnet]

Yeah

[queen vale]

I know it's easy to say "Just do it", but it's the easiest way sometimes, to just take a little time to yourself and get your head straight on how you feel, and then you can 'rip the band-aid' off so to speak and push through the hardest part - perhaps even telling her beforehand "I have social anxiety and will probably screw up what I say, but..."

[olive seal]

If any of yall want for whatever reason gift me something for my birthday, I’ll do you the favor of just taking money and there, no need to overthink it 😭.

[queen vale]

I suffer severe anxiety, so I get you on how hard it can be to "be out there" - I treat it like I'm playing a character in public, which helps me distance myself a little and takes some of the edge off

But it's absolutely fine to then go back hone and just go "bhejjahklfgwsel;kw" and collapse for a bit 😄

The ; is the critical part of that by the way

[frozen bluff]

I used to have anxiety issues myself

[distant yarrow]

Same, anxiety and social anxiety here. It is understandable when there is a lot of people that are "confrontational first ask questions later, understanding is useless" too

[queen vale]

It's not an easy trip, it's taken me literally over a decade to get the tricks right for some of it in ways that work for me, so don't feel rushed or pressured into having some magic BS overnight change

[distant yarrow]

I mean where I live eye contact can be a threat soo

[olive seal]

I’m going to just ask , the worse it can happen is , idk actually but hopefully nothing too bad.

[queen vale]

You live on the London Underground?

[distant yarrow]

Nawh, just NYC. The city that never sleeps and always devolves XD

[queen vale]

The worst that can happen?
She says no, and attacks you.
You run away as you don't want to get into a fight, and accidentally end up in the road.
4 cars swerve to avoid you, one goes over the edge of a bridge, hitting a fuel train that was passing underneath.

The fireball is glorious.

[distant yarrow]

That's a great plan, definitely go with that one

[queen vale]

You can make up a lot of reasonable and less reasonable "What if's" for these things, but eventually you just need to say "Whelp, fuck it, here we go" and do the thing.
Then discover every thing you planned for was wrong and they do something you didn't plan for.
That's life 😄

[distant yarrow]

An explosion is involved. I'm 1000% on board

Honestly if a car hits me I would be oki with it. My psychiatrist and psychologist would be very mad at me but still 😭

[queen vale]

I know saying (typing) these things make it sound easy, and I absolutely know they aren't easy in practice, but if you slowly work on it, it'll get easier with time and practice

[distant yarrow]

That was a million times better because of the explosion, explosions make everything better.

[queen vale]

I'd be annoyed with you too. No playing in traffic.

I will accept the block for this stance xD

[olive seal]

I was told it is healthy to eat it daily but to also avoid it bc of its high metal content/cadmium and lead. So idk 🤷 I just go for the sweetness

[distant yarrow]

Honestly I agree with this when it comes to Dark chocolate, sometimes it's like if it were meant to be baking/cooking chocolate (which is rather bitter)

[hearty sonnet]

Any dark choco over 70% is likely baking chocolate, which tastes terrible on it's own lol

Me and my friends used to dare each other to eat baking chocolate as kids lmao

dealing with kids is like training a caretaker that should in theory if you've done your work right do whatever it takes to take care of you when you're the most vulnerable

If it's anything like other games that are converted for the switch, the graphics probably took a major hit

I don't remember the name of the game, but it was essentially a free "hero fighter" sort of online game (Paladins I think?)

When I was playing on the switch all the models looked like toy soldiers

When I looked at my partner's PC the graphics were significantly better

Good morning

Does anyone know of a good Palworld merch store in the EU (Austria) that doesn't look shady as heck

I only found some sellers offering the same thing under way different names, all using the same pictures over and over again

[rough fractal]

Good day

[humble parrot]

Hello Myles, Sam

[humble parrot]

Official merch is coming soonish

[night plume]

To my knowledge, there are no legit merch stores yet. I believe I saw a post that Palworld is starting their own store, so could wait for that to get going.

Otherwise if you don'twant to wait, I personally recommend commissioning an item from someone. A lot of people post things they make in the art channel and I've seen posts of people praising things they've bought.

ofc the rust spots were actually just foreign material that got on the truck and it just buffs right out

But the memes are funny.

[queen vale]

Aye, but there is:

The Cybertruck's owners manual does caution against ever washing the truck in direct sunlight, and there is a section expressly mentioning that the truck has to be switched into “Car Wash Mode” before washing to avoid damage to parts of the vehicle.

Drive-Through Car Wash Was Too Much for Tesla Cybertruck

Hacker News · Apr 19, 2024, 1:24 PM

[peak folio]

The discussion has gone back and fourth but yeah

Radically different vehicle doing a lot of new things is gonna have problems, but there’s still a difference between what the problems actually are and what you hear about. 😆

I think when people ask them why a lot of the stuff didn’t get into the Model 3 or Y first they were like “we’re not gonna take that kind of risk on the ‘bet the company car’ like the model 3.” 😆

But yeah, still not used to seeing that truck irl

[queen vale]

I just wish that people were more .. practical and honest I guess.. about Tesla and it's vehicles.
Hyping them as the best thing since wheat, but then denouncing anyone critical or asking questions as FUD hurts as much as anything - they have flaws because yes, see the batteries that detonated because of punctures because of road debris - it's a completely new design, and has issues such as fire crews having to be trained to deal with battery fires, but it's all steps in the right direction

[icy pecan]

Cyber truck is cool but a pathetic excuse for a truck lol

[queen vale]

Hell, petrol cars have had a spotty history with safety and bad / suboptimal designs (See the ford explodo pinto - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Pinto#Fuel_system_fires,_recalls,_and_litigation)

[icy pecan]

Well the pinto is on ford

[peak folio]

In real life people are a lot less wired about it. The cars are everywhere and most people asking about it are genuinely curious. Only maybe 1% of people I run into are some nutcase whose mind is already made up. It’s kind of like talking about Palworld. 😆

Having survived the life of Liveleak, Ogrish, and other sites seeing the logo is a flashbang sometimes when it's linked with more innocent content

My brain instantly saw it and filled the next scenes in the video with "Woman has face eaten" or something 💀

[small berry]

I have a couple words for the german government today, thank you for tanking the crypto market selling like a billion bucks on the spot market and not even waiting for it to be sold on OTC

I hope the worst happens to them

"We have to sell this money we got from a scam we stopped, lets tank the entire market and make many more people lose money hue hue hue"

https://tenor.com/view/fuck-you-middle-finger-flip-off-screw-you-gif-5618363

[queen vale]

Ironically it might be a benefit in a way as a reminder that this is a risk and can happen

[small berry]

it obviously happened when most institutional investors were stacked HARD on shorts

Surprisingly a government org decides to sell on spot market a ton of money from a scam when institutions are stacked on shorts

HMMMMMMMMMMM

Are most institutions going to lose money on a bad bet for a short? Nah, they're going to find a way for the market to tank.

And the german government apparently was the savior this time

[queen vale]

I wonder if they had a specific target in mind when doing it

[small berry]

Technically, from an analysis standpoint, yeah, 56-60k is the bottom

[grand falcon]

Nah 1 week in Chicago, the entire would be scrapped down

[small berry]

but a plan for how it was going to go, I doubt it, they wanted to sell it all, whatever wasn't sold over the counter was instantly deposited on exchanges and sold on the spot market

They honestly could have waited to find enough OTC buyers and not tank the market, but who cares

If they did this with stocks, omawgawd those shares wouldn't have touched the spot market, never

[queen vale]

They might have been wary of flagging the potential sale and some people trying to short them instead so they don't get as much out of it?

[small berry]

All institutions were already stacked before it started selling

Literally all institutions shorted the top and they obviously got it perfect

obvious insider trading if you ax me

Time when gov orgs are going to sell the money they got from scams, short those timeframes, boom

[queen vale]

Sounds probable to be fair

[small berry]

It's shameful

I think this fall has caused more than half a billion in liquidations

Idk who that government org is helping doing that

2 weeks of nonstop sell pressure

[queen vale]

I think hindering is the goal, not helping, perhaps they are trying to hurt a specific group but doing it this way gives plausable deniability - might be worth watching who tries to recover and how

[small berry]

technically as of friday outflows started to diminish

Microstrategy got another rather large bag of crypto last week as well

Those guys know the deal

But it's obviously, pathetically obviously, institutional money

cause saturday and sunday were flatter than a dead bodys heart rythm

Since August 2023 bitcoin has never been more oversold on the daily

they say 30 on the daily RSI is the perfect area to buy bitcoin, we're on 28

Crypto is still the biggest wealth generating event in human history, yeah

[rough fractal]

I find that fascinating

[small berry]

Idk maybe the gold rush of western US colonization was bigger?

we have no way to check it so we don't know

[rough fractal]

Personally I'm not a fan of digital currency all it takes Is 1 big ol internet shut down an there goes the bits

[teal iron]

My guy in order for wealth to be generated it has to have created real money

Crypto was the biggest wealth transferrence (robbery and scamming) event in human history

[small berry]

for sure, but same goes for our modern banking system with fiat

not just crypto would be useless, all money would

[rough fractal]

Agreed as well

[teal iron]

Banks don't need to contact other banks to give you money, and I don't need internet to hand you a $5 bill in exchange for an item

[small berry]

My brother in christ, Wyoming has a fraction of its state pensions in crypto

[teal iron]

If I want to buy crap with bitcoin we need an internet connection and we have to wait for the blockchain to process it

Which with bitcoin specifically that's a long wait
Ethereum is faster but $5 is instantaneous

[small berry]

Neither Bitcoin nor Ethereum are practical currencies

[teal iron]

And there you heard it folks
Crypto is impractical!!!

[small berry]

they don't have the speed natively and transaction costs are absurd

but that's why we have layer 2s and 3s and 4s.

Telenovelas or soap operas I think?

[teal iron]

Oh wow the blockchain makes itself marginally less terrible by simply copying what the existing, working currency system does?

[night plume]

I think y'all need a 3rd person for it to be a soap in my mind 🤔

[tribal pike]

my brain hurts

[small berry]

No organization should control the issuance of a currency that everyone uses

no states, no central banks, noone should be able to dilute your stake in the economy when they need money to pay debts

[rough fractal]

I don't need these topics I always wonder the purpose of money but somehow data holds value as the significance of a dollar truly fascinating

[teal iron]

I've said it before and I'll say it again
The blockchain literally has no functionality that can be implemented in a way that solves any problem that wasn't either created by the blockchain or which did not exist in traditional data storage or currency systems

[tribal pike]

put a cat on the us dollar

[small berry]

As long as the cat dollar has a "fixed" issuance ratio everyone would be better off

[night plume]

You can get Santa dollars from the bank.

[teal iron]

Yeah, Ethereum with a highly centralized database which a small number of actors could leverage near total control over
No one should control currency

[small berry]

I don't understand how in 2024 there's still people that are not aware that Fiat currencies are dead and they're used to steal money from you every year

[teal iron]

Remember that time a bunch of crypto people got got on the blockchain and rather than suck it up like normal americans, they actually forked the entire chain, undoing everything that had just happened so they retained their wealth?

yeah that really screams "decentralized and immutable" to me

[tribal pike]

RAAHHHH America 🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[small berry]

When you understand how crypto works I can have a debate with you, you're using all the arguments of people that don't know how blockchain works and thus there's no way to argue against it

[teal iron]

The blockchain is not an answer to anything it is a trick devised by the very wealthy to try to get a leg up on the ultra wealthy, and it will never, ever amount to anything more than that, because it was NEVER designed as anything more than that

[night plume]

Okay, now it is a Soap :p

[rough fractal]

aye it's like trying to sell 1 byte for half a cent

[small berry]

How are you talking like this was 2016 or something

the crypto market is worth more than a Trillion dollars

[teal iron]

A trillion fake dollars of hype

[small berry]

it's like you're screaming to the wall that it shouldn't be there and it has never been there

[rough fractal]

NFTs xD

[teal iron]

crypto is more useless than AI and AI is pretty darn useless

[small berry]

I mean with comments like that who would want to talk to you about these topics

you're a tech flat earther, literally

[teal iron]

Lmao

No, I'm an engineer
I recognize that if it ain't broke, don't fix it

[small berry]

AI is useless, said noone ever in the history of humanity but flat earthers

[rough fractal]

Oh cmon leave my Ais alone xD

[teal iron]

and certainly, don't invent a highly unstable and generally wasteful technology to pretend to fix the problem that never existed except in your mind

[small berry]

You can be mad about it, your feelings aren't changing reality

one day you'll realise that I guess

[teal iron]

I mean I think AI has actually hit a dead-end
ChatGPT should've gotten smarter by now, but it doesn't seem to have improved

in fact newer AIs seem to be getting dumber than the original chatGPT revealed a year or so ago

I think we've hit the upper limit of how accurate a neural net can be

Or at least, we've reached that point where the curve is so steep that it's no longer cost-effective

[rough fractal]

ChatGPT should be considered more of an accurate search engine then Google wouldn't you agree?

[small berry]

You should really be a financial advisor, cause your indepth knowledge of these complex things seems so seamless and amazing

Everything is solved with a few statements

[teal iron]

The LLM AI has told people to clean their bathroom by creating chlorine gas and the auto-complete result literally did what AI did but with less electrical consumption

[rough fractal]

I rest my case haha xD

[teal iron]

I never had issues with google search, and the AI has only ever been an exact duplicate of the original "auto result" that basically plastered the aggregated answer from various websites at the top of the screen, or blatantly incorrect

sorry not an exact duplicate, a much lengthier duplicate that reads like a 4th grader trying to pad out an essay

[small berry]

Leo works like a charm in Brave

I use it constantly so it can synthesise the contents of the search results without me going to several of them

[teal iron]

If the technology had improved it might've been pretty helpful but unless openAI promptly started taking a nap as soon as they unveiled the tech, it should already BE smart enough to...i don't know...perform basic arithmetic

[rough fractal]

I use chatGPT for alot of different things personally for me it stops me from searching thru 200 blue links when I just want 1 answer

[teal iron]

Guy...there's...a box that appears...

that tells you what all of those blue links said
It doesn't use AI it was there long before chatGPT

[rough fractal]

Hmm?

[small berry]

AI even in its nascent state has started to revolutionize how we use data tenfold, more than the internet

[teal iron]

If you don't know about that box then I'm not sure you should be allowed to use an advanced AI

It's been there for years

[small berry]

the internet made it possible to transfer data all over the world, AI will make it possible to process exponential amounts of information all over the world

[teal iron]

Probably since...if I had to guess around 2015

[teal iron]

And get it wrong lmao

[rough fractal]

Calling it a box is....very...confusing if your creating a trick question

[teal iron]

You know how long we've worked to remove human error from the equation of our work?
ChatGPT literally goes back on all of that and adds machine error into the mix

[small berry]

Idk why you look at tech as a 1 or 0 deal

There's iterations, things improve

jesus.

[teal iron]

I look it as
The AI has failed to improve according to the trajectory it was on when it was launched

[small berry]

That's your feelings, again, you're the only one that has them, reality wont care about em

[teal iron]

this means one of two things
Either we legitimately hit the limit and need to develop a completely new technology
or OpenAI and all the other firms researching it have stopped researching it, and are instead focused on profit

[small berry]

If it hasn't worked for you it doesn't mean it hasn't worked for others

Even if you like it, believe it or not, some people might not

[teal iron]

Guy
Google's AI has probably gotten people killed with its bad information
That's unacceptable, even if it happens once

[rough fractal]

Errhmm lol I gotten Ai to do everything iv needed it to do and I program Ai/code

[teal iron]

If 1 human on earth has died or been considerably injured/hurt/lost their job because of this unstable technology then the technology simply isn't in an acceptable use state

[small berry]

That's like the most absolute authoritative thing I've heard anyone say in a long ass time

such freaking confidence, magawd

[teal iron]

Maybe but I value human life over some pointless random number generator boondoggle

[lucid coral]

The problem is overall people are expecting AI to be Intelegent when its merely an advance algorithm compiling knowledge into a logical response to user input.

[small berry]

And it's literally in Alpha, like, cmon

Take a chill pill guys

[teal iron]

I don't think neural nets are a solution to any technological problem, they're flashy in appearance but underneath they're completely impossible to really trust

[rough fractal]

Ai is a tool 🔧 not a means to solution in all regards this is escalating to quickly xD

[grand falcon]

Ya people fear AI for no reason

[teal iron]

It's just a random number generator cranked up to an absurd degree

And mario party has taught me to never trust random numbers

[small berry]

You just simplified neural networks to a RNG

[rough fractal]

Mario party?

[small berry]

That's my cue to go play something

[rough fractal]

<>_<> I'm gonna go now lol

[teal iron]

That's my understanding of a neural net
It takes an input and iterates on randomness until it gets an output which said random tuning indicates is a correct answer

when you tell image AI to generate a picture of a banana it iterates random pixels until it thinks what it has is a banana

well, it doesn't think, it compares it to a picture of a banana and once the similarity is high enough it spits that random image out

[small berry]

idk mahn, how you speak about these topics makes it really hard or impossible to have a conversation, you're cutting, absolute, authoritative, you don't leave any room or margin

[peak folio]

We are all just bio RNGs

[rough fractal]

I summon thee @hearty sonnet

[grand falcon]

Pretty much lmao

[small berry]

There's nothing to chat, cause you just set all the commandments on stone

[teal iron]

Well you guys are hyping this technology as the greatest innovation since the WHEEL

[rough fractal]

Later

[teal iron]

So I'm gonna HOLD IT TO THAT STANDARD

[small berry]

We're not really doing that

[teal iron]

If you don't want me to cut this technology down on every flaw it has, then don't pretend it's some magical supertech that'll change the world with how great it is

[small berry]

but denying that it's revolutionary is just being a contrarian for the sake of it

[tribal pike]

meow

[hearty sonnet]

I'm busy today

[teal iron]

I don't think it's going to go anywhere I think it has already hit its limit

[frozen bluff]

All I know is that AI can't replace my job and I'm perfectly happy with that

[tribal pike]

meow

[teal iron]

And now openAI is trying to inflate it to get as much as they can out of this deal before the bubble pops when everyone realizes the technology will never leave a beta stage

[tribal pike]

meow

[small berry]

I could believe that but I'm gonna need someone really smart explaining how we've reached a complexity ceilling, and I know what complexity ceillings are

And we haven't reached a complexity ceilling with AI that'd be absurd

nonsensical to think

[teal iron]

As I recall, AI has been in research for a while, and up until the "reveal" of chatGPT, AI generated content was absolutely useless garbage, AI pictures looked like dream sequences

In mere weeks and months since that revelation, AI has reached a point where it can create nearly convincing recreations of all kinds of art, music, speech, and text

[small berry]

A while? as in not more than 20 freaking years my mahn

[lucid coral]

Not quite so what people think is the AI is just the output logic algorithm the real power behind what your reading is the learning algorithm which encodes the database that the user interface draws from. The problem is that news has oversold what AI is capable of doing and companies have fallen hook line and sinker into a really bad place of utilizing these programs. As of right now LLMs don't even cover an entire language.

[teal iron]

It has been over a year since we hit THAT threshold, and the technology has not substantially improved since

[small berry]

we didn't even think these concepts were possible 20 years ago my brother in christ

this tech has at tops 5 years of exposure to the real world

[teal iron]

By the trajectory set by the first few weeks, AI should've already replaced entire industries

[small berry]

Study how the .com bubble worked

[teal iron]

or something of similarly ground-breaking magnitude

[small berry]

then you'll see these things are no different and are really similar

it took us like 10 years to start using the internet like we were meant to

99% of projects were failed projects

99% of tech was a deadend

[teal iron]

Instead, [art AI] still fails to draw human hands, the main thing it struggled with in its debut
ChatGPT still reads like a fourth-grader trying to pad out an essay, and now it seems to REFUSE to even solve long arithmetic chains out of fear of screwing them up

[small berry]

1% won the world tho.

[grand falcon]

Well idk all about that, but I do know people are "over thinking" what AI is capable of

For example, one of the jobs people think AI is gonna take over, is doctors

That'll never happen

[teal iron]

We've seen no improvement in the past year and a half that compares to what we should've gotten based on the progress we made before

[small berry]

You mean will smith eating spaguetti to cats?

[teal iron]

Oh, and newer AI made by bigger companies are actually even more stupid than ChatGPT

[small berry]

AI hasn't improved with these diffusion whateverthingies

[teal iron]

So as I see it
AI is one of those failed projects

rather, neural nets specifically

I always wanted to go into AI research actually, one of my dream jobs
Maybe a little fantasizing after playing games like Portal

[small berry]

I've been through many failed projects that hit a complexity ceiling, from the hyperloop to the internet of things, AI isn't there

[teal iron]

but I would love an AI powered world as much as anyone else, is the point

however, I think we should put these silly neural nets away and try to make an artificial intelligence, rather than a facsimile thereof

[lucid coral]

Honestly one of the ultimate goals for AI is a universal translator, the real issue arises though we need roughly 5 exabytes to compound every language, cultural grammer, etc into a database to support an algorithim capable of decoding languages.

[small berry]

We have many much more data to feed the AI, we have much more processing power to give them

AI isn't even close to a complexity ceilling

[teal iron]

i'm not saying chatGPT was a pointless endeavor

but I think we'll get better results by dropping this line of technology and using what we've learned to try something different

[night plume]

I don't have enough ice cream or tea for this o.o

[small berry]

They got it down to a few MB, AI compression is astonishing and top in the world last I heard

not exabytes but terabytes

so maybe a GB for an AI can be worth an exabyte

[frozen bluff]

I have a wrench

[teal iron]

because the sad truth of neural nets is that they're only as good as their training data, and if you don't take astronomical effort to curate that data, well
Your AI is going to tell people to eat rocks, and forget "malicious AI sets off the nuclear reactors and destroys humanity", the poorly-trained AI will do it by accident

And if the AI still needs a human to supervise it, is it really any better than traditional computing methods that required human input?

it's better, sure, but not revolutionary by any means

[night plume]

If a wrench wasn't such a great tool, I would say would should turn a side into a spoon so we slways have a wrench and spoon handy

[small berry]

This is stuff that I've already debated here

A tech will never become a dystopia cause that's a paradox inherently

people only use what is useful and benefits them

[teal iron]

What

[frozen bluff]

The fact I have a wrench is precisely why AI could never take my job

[small berry]

AI wont tell people to eat rocks cause people wouldn't use AI

[teal iron]

I'm saying the AI is going to be pointlessly stupid if it doesn't have an exorbitant effort put in to curate its training data

[small berry]

There's anecdotal evidence of that being a possibility? Yeah, is that the norm? No.

[teal iron]

it's not going to be cost-effective

[small berry]

If it's pointlessly stupid as you said

[teal iron]

like I said
The technology has reached its limit in our world

[small berry]

what's the freaking point

[night plume]

looks at what I'm doing now
😱 I'd be the correction!!

[small berry]

You yourself are using adjectives that make your own logic wrong

[teal iron]

maybe in a utopia where science is actually the primary concern of independent researchers over things like profit and sellability

But this tech is being developed with the intention of selling it

and an AI that requires you to carefully manage its training data
Is not sellable

That's not stopping them from trying

[lucid coral]

I believe they are referin to search engines utilizing AI to create a summary of data available to be read. The problem is places like Reddit are given to high a priority in search results causing search ai to create bad outputs.

[teal iron]

but it's a functionally useless technology that hardly had any legs to stand on before human greed took a crowbar to its shins

[frozen bluff]

You would be, yes. We spent the past 2 hours or so fighting this coupling guard so we could take it off and replace the coupling. It was so shittily designed

[small berry]

But that's more an issue with corporate, not tech

[frozen bluff]

Nothing a grinder and hammers can't fix though

[teal iron]

anyway have fun with your energy-wasting financial speculation vehicles and your doomed ranom number generators

My current task is a quality check. A company asked to continue doing work for us.
So far I have found: they copied and pasted old work and submitted it and charged us for new design.

Nothing a bunch of red pens won't fix though :p

[small berry]

I just realised the art of speaking as objectively as possible is an art that takes years

it's kinda hard to not be constantly leading your own logic using qualitatives that just add to your own conception of things

[night plume]

Btw, Have you ever wanted to keep some of the old parts as trophies?

[frozen bluff]

Occasionally I get that feeling. In this case I was too annoyed at it to even want it lmfao

[frozen bluff]

That's a cheap and scummy way of going about things. I'd expect at least clearly labeled revisions

[grand falcon]

Share with the class

[night plume]

When it goes back to the higher ups, they will see what I marked up and address it.

[night plume]

The show ended though o.o

[grand falcon]

S h a r e

[frozen bluff]

That's good at least

[frozen bluff]

Hopefully it isn't a thing where they send the money before the designs are approved.

[night plume]

No idea, not my department lol

[frozen bluff]

Just reach out to them and be like "it's the same thing do not buy"

[night plume]

My boss will tell people who need to know once I send it back.
He will be ignored.
We'll buy the product as is.
People will ask why it wasn't fixed and blame us.
My boss will pull out all the emails and mark ups.
Then we will pay for a new version.

Gotta love higher ups >.>

https://imgur.com/a/QcTClgq Gravity batteries are kinda dope

just the idea of something being able to store more energy the longer the drop is such a great game mechanic, you see the stuff moving so you instantly know how much is charged, how fast is charging or discharging, it's probably the most intuitive way of making a battery

Hey, can AHK macro lead to a palworld ban or smth ?

my mousewheel is broken so i'm using a AHK script to have scroll up/down on keyboard on palworld but idk if i can get banned for it

[humble parrot]

What

[peak folio]

Not sure how touchy official servers are with that sort of thing, actually.

I think they’re focused on far more egregious exploits

[fluid lily]

its only for private server with friends, i'm more worried about a built in anticheat or smth like that that could detect the macro

[grand falcon]

are you sure the wheel is broke? like my mosue wheel was having issues, soemtimes it would recognize the scroll, other times it wouldnt, i got a air can thing, sprayed it in the mouse wheel area, and it started working

[fluid lily]

yeah its completely broken, its spinning but you can feel that nothing is attached to it anymore

I smashed the mouse on the ground trying to catch it while falling lmao

[peak folio]

There’s no third party anti-cheat yet that goes after these things as they are focused on fixing their code instead, so you should be good there for now.

[fluid lily]

okay thanks for the answer

[frozen bluff]

It seems like no matter what position you're in, the higher ups on the chain of command will never cease to cause issues

[night plume]

I feel it is a requirement once you get there, that you must forget the work done below you and go with whatever is easiest instead of correct.

[small berry]

That's the profile of a manager

you don't bring up issues to the ones above you, you make them magically fly away

until they fly into the face of a big boss

they're supposed to be a kind of a checkpoint for information, they become dams

It makes all the sense in the world, you put trust in people, those people know that trust is based on them doing things right and you not hearing about issues so you don't hear about em, until it becomes too late

it's either the manager having a "family" of workers that keep everything to themselves or a cyclical boom and bust

"According to data provided by CoinGlass, as much as $309 million worth of crypto has been liquidated over the past 24 hours alone." 🫡

to think my miserable amount of dollars has survived billions of dollars liquidated

[frozen bluff]

"I'm all about taking the path of least resistance and finding the easiest and cheapest solution to these problems"

Believe it or not - hired with a $200k/yr salary

Always been a firm belief of mine that higher management makes a lot more money than what they deserve

It's somewhat more justified where I work... Somewhat. My supervisors and the head of operations are some of the smartest people I've ever interacted with. But I got asked by another supervisor earlier while I was fighting with the coupling guard why I had a grinder up there with me. My response was to step back and tell him to try and pull it out. When he obviously failed: "that's why I have the grinder up here"

[grand falcon]

Welp, tomorrow I start the trade school

I am not ready

[cyan acorn]

you got this

[grand falcon]

I don't even know what the uniform even looks like

Which, I find it weird as hell, that a trade school has a uniform

[cyan acorn]

dont stress it

[grand falcon]

It better be comfortable as hell

Or I'ma burn down the world

[cyan acorn]

valid 😭

[grand falcon]

1 thing I am kinda looking forward to, is that the trade school does "Field trips" to a bunch of cool shit, like baseball games, and football games, and a bunch of other shit

And it's all free

[cyan acorn]

atleast it wont be boring

[small berry]

I just realised we no longer can have 30min slowmode debates in the memes channel ( or do the harmless thing and respond to memes we relate to )

[grand falcon]

Still waiting to hear from the VA to find out how much money I'll be getting for going to school

[teal iron]

I mean you can use "copy message link" and post it in offtopic

[small berry]

I wonder if @night plume has seen the new hats…

[night plume]

Hats? O.o

[tough comet]

hats.
what true men strive for.

[humble parrot]

Spoilers!

https://tenor.com/view/spoiler-alert-spoiler-go-time-gif-13921804794138892823

[tough comet]

thats a big spoiler

[night plume]

I do have the game Max Gentleman on Steam >.>
It is a game about collecting hats

The ad for the game is awesome

They made a second game.
It is nsfw.
Be careful if you look it up.
Youtube tends to show that one instead for some reason

[humble parrot]

💀

NSFW game about collecting hats

[teal iron]

Collecting hardhats from workers who violated OSHA regulations

[night plume]

Idk what the second one is about. I just remember the images were nsfw and people yelled at me for telling them to go check iut the ad for the hat collecting game x.x

This is hat collection.
https://youtu.be/s2tKEZiO5IY?si=ippQ_k7AhX32NYBP

Youtube said the other game is Max Gentlemen Business.

I just really like their ad xD it is funny and ridiculous

[frozen bluff]

I drew a jolly roger on my hardhat.

Hoist the colors!!!!

[frozen bluff]

Full sail! Catch some wind!

[icy pecan]

YARR!!

[frozen bluff]

My goal is to sail on a real galleon at least once

[small berry]

you and probably a million other humans

most one can do is go in a ww1 tank or boat

unless...we finance a brand new colonial era galleon...

that's gonna rot in like, 30 years no matter what we do

[icy pecan]

I’m in as long as we give it guns

[small berry]

Can we make fake wood on top of copper plating

[icy pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/ryan-raynolds-wink-yes-no-gif-20341242

[small berry]

Well, I mean I guess we can handle building a new one every few decades

just gotta take that into the financing part of it

[icy pecan]

Finance. It under public education just leave out the education part

[small berry]

"technically it is a museum"

[icy pecan]

Fully functional museum peace so we can travel across the world and educate people

[small berry]

I'd back that bill tbh

Cirque du solei gtfo

matterfact, let me backtrack, Cirque du solei, you're now pirates

I don't know if it would be very smart to sail an old-style galleon around...the living conditions were beyond "unpleasant"

I mean, in the long-term

[small berry]

We'd have canned food and plenty of lime, we'll be okayish

[teal iron]

It's all fun and games for the first 2 or 3 days
And then the rats get involved

the excrement

[night plume]

I think Gulf Shores has a pirate show on one. It won't be authentic, but I think it is made to look that way and they take people out onto the water for dinner and a show.

[teal iron]

Hey can you dolts quit trying to type meme-less messages in #off-topic-memes

the phantom unread indicators are annoying

[queen vale]

Probably not the people in here to be fair

[teal iron]

I see the white dot and I think "oh boy funny pictures!"
And then there's NOTHING
