This is the actual problem with these types of retirement plans, though. People are expected to know a lot about managing the investments themselves. There's a whole industry whose job it is to give you bad advice. The real advice is "drop it in a mix of an sp500 index fund it and bonds according to your risk level" and the rest is bullshit.

He doesn't think that. Newt is evil, not stupid.

It was a bad take. Intel has not been using TSMC long.

That said, it's pretty broadly agreed that Intel needs to toss its manufacturing arm into a subsidiary, and then possibly make that subsidiary completely independent. That's what AMD did with Global Foundries, and it worked very well for them. This process seems to have already started at Intel.

That one video of Trump supporters singing it was emphasizing the "and you do what they told ya". It plays into their belief that trans people are only supported because the mainstream media told you to. This is the start and end of their thoughts on the song.

It's funny to see Godzilla in weird contexts.

No, I don't think that's a particularly good reason for it all, either.

As a parallel, I seem to recall that the surgery banter in MASH is actually pretty realistic.

Myth Busters did that one. Even attaching big sail to a dummy, the shockwave is so thin that you can't catch much momentum at all.

Every once in a while, it's subverted. IIRC, that's how Gwen dies in Spiderman comics.

It is, but they don't recognize the contradictions between their various factions. They will very happily rally around a candidate that promises to sweep away all the leftists. Each of them imagines that their faction will be the one on top in the end.

Here's what happens when we refuse to compromise. Some people care more about minority civil rights than anything else, so they get the best civil rights candidate. Some people care about feminism more than anything else, so they get the best feminist candidate. Some people care about unions more than anything else, so they get the best union candidate.

Conservatives then rally around a putrid flesh monster who promises to shoot all the above on day one, because that's what they care about. That candidate wins with a 40/20/20/20 vote.

Values voting cannot solve this.

There might be a good reason for this. Raster effects were already really good in newer games, and ray tracing could only improve on that high bar. It's filling in details that are barely noticeable, but creap ever so slightly closer to photorealism.

Old games start from a low bar, so ray tracing has dramatic improvement.

Link broken in app (midwest.social)
submitted 6 months ago by frezik@midwest.social to c/summit@lemmy.world

Not 100% sure if this is a Summit issue or something in Lemmy more generally. Here's the post in question:

https://midwest.social/post/10123989

The link to the blog works on my instance for the desktop. Several other users were reporting the link being broken, and it does break for me on Summit, as well.

When I hit the link on Summit, the requests on the server are GET /api/v3/post?id=2024 and GET /api/v3/comment/list?max_depth=6&post_id=2024&sort=Top&type_=All. It looks like it parsed out the "2024" from the original link and tried to use that in a Lemmy API call.

Here's the post in question: https://midwest.social/post/10123989

Which linked to my blog here: https://wumpus-cave.net/post/2024/03/2024-03-20-moores-law-is-dead/index.html

On my instance (midwest.social), this works fine. However, some other users were reporting a broken link, and I also see a broken link when using my mobile app (Summit). When it breaks, I see these calls in the server logs:

  • GET /api/v3/post?id=2024
  • GET /api/v3/comment/list?max_depth=6&post_id=2024&sort=Top&type_=All

Which appear to be Lemmy API calls with some of the actual link data built in.
