I really resent pictures of human bodies being presented to me. I made a life decision that I prefer not to see stuff like that unless I actively choose.

I'm not concerned because I have zero crypto because I would hate to be worried about being hacked to have it stolen.

It's essentially impossible not to be hacked isn't it?

When so much money is at stake (almost) everyone will have a price including insiders.

I'm not doubting it necessarily but I find myself so skeptical now whenever I watch any video.

>> The housing crisis is a supply and demand problem so they've got to increase housing supply.

And now the government is creating "activity zones" around every train line where they will pack in super high density housing to pack more and more people in. Communities - the people who live in these "activity zones" hate it.

And new suburbs springing up many kilometers outside the cities - ugly wastelands without trees, without trains, without community. All to stuff in more people because more people is more money.

Why? Why do we want more people? Who voted for it? No-one because no government ever took it to the people because they all do it.

We should be allowed to protest against population growth without being called racists.

Population growth impacts community, environment, social services, quality of life.

Australia has massive droughts in which every drop of water counts but we've forgotten that because there's no drought right now.

>> Removing international students will also have big flow on negative effects for the rest of the economy.

I'm sorry I simply do not buy these old "accepted wisdoms" that get rolled out.

Just like the mining industry who try to convince us that without mining Australia's eocnomy would be ruined.

That's always the bottom line - "without this <thing that you want but I don't> then the economy will be ruined" I don't believe it.

Population growth from international students has ruined Australian housing.

The government handed universities free reign to hand out as many visa as they liked, and they handed out millions.

And the unspoken deal is that you're not buying an education, you're buying residency in Australia because a large percentage of these students never go home again.

And the government has staunchly - ridiculously - stated for years that international students do not impact housing. Yeah right - they don't live anywhere.

It's just a vast population growth program under the guise of international education with immigrants required to pay their $50K to universities for the nod and a wink right to live here.

Australia, which already had a housing crisis, now has a housing nuclear inferno.

Absolutely out of control population growth. The governments do it because more people equals "growing economy" - the only thing they care about.

And they don't invest in the infrastructure to support the millions of people added to the population so the quality of life goes down for everyone, there's budget cuts in government services, the inequality gap widens.

Growth - through population growth, through "international students" - governments absolutely love it because it hides their bad economic management, and the rich people declare how wonderful massive population growth is because those rich people own at least 3 houses.

The entire game is rigged for rich people to get rich and everyone else to shove over and make room because there's a lot more people coming.

I thought it was an offer to buy Xbox for $500M - that's what its worth under Microsoft's current generation of leadership.

There is also the unlock for Nvidia encoding which "removes restriction on maximum number of simultaneous NVENC video encoding sessions"

https://github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch

So yeah, buy an Nvidia card then download and run all the software needed to make it work to its full potential so Jensen can buy his 500 millionth leather jacket.

Of course he's selling. Almost every word on the front page readme is a features and benefits sales pitch.

But, as all good salespeople do, they focus on the positive and leave the negative in the fine print.

Selling happens everywhere all the time without price.

Interest rates and inflation have vastly more impact than AI.

I'd put the pros and cons right up front on the README.

Selling the positives for a new programming languages should go hand in hand with a realistic thorough analysis of the negatives.

Negatives of the language as a brief point 18 on the tutorial makes the negatives look hidden.

What are the down sides? That's the key question when a better thing comes along.

The first giant web market collapse was because no-one could work out how to make money from it or do anything more useful than put the company brochure online.

Well they ARE.

Except they're called products - you don't open a new company for every new product you make.

And you don't make 100 - you focus the resources you have to try to build the most impactful things you can.
