Apple surpasses Microsoft as world's most valuable company after unveiling AI plans
  • Value is correct in this instance, I think.

    The number of shares and the price people are willing to pay for those shares is how "value" is calculated, I think.

    In contrast, "wealth" would be how much money they have in the bank.

  • Russia lacks 'numbers for strategic breakthrough' in Ukraine: NATO
  • Both can be true: Russia can lack numbers to make a strategic breakthrough, and Ukraine can simultaneously not be able to field enough materiel to be able to recapture their losses.

    IMO the most likely outcome is a stalemate that turns into de jure conquest of the territory Russia has captured and it turns into a cold (or at least cooler) war.

  • Hades II - Early Access Patch 1 Notes
  • Fingers crossed the effects mentioned in the Chronos fight fixes an issue I had the other day - I was having a really good run with a strong build, but after the transition to phase 2 I was stuck in slow motion and stood no chance.

  • [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Steam Deck? - May 2024
  • Finally managed to get my hands on a Deck this last week. Been having a blast with both Hades 2 and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.

    I was a bit worried with Pathfinder since it's not verified, but I figured the controller scheme would be functional since they have a console version. So far I've been quite impressed with how smoothly it controls.

  • Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth?
  • I's often just carnal desire which results in the death of something to the tune of ~80 billion (with a "B") animals every year that didn't really need to be slaughtered.

    I'm genuinely curious: what's the vegans' answer to the question of "what happens to the cattle and other livestock if everyone on the planet turned vegan tomorrow?". It's not like they can just be let loose...

    Realistically the amount of livestock is not sustainable and they'd need to be culled in gargantuan numbers so that they don't go from a "managed" ecological disaster to an "out of control" ecological disaster. And then you get the slaughter without the benefit of feeding billions of hungry people.

  • Biden closes gap on Trump but third-party candidates pose danger, polls show
  • or any democracy for that matter

    Australia sends its regards.

    It is really nice knowing that I can safely vote for our "green" party without risking our conservative party getting in because the centre-left party loses too many votes.

    Also, voting being mandatory (and very accessible) and on a Sunday for federal elections is such a game changer for ensuring participation.

    Hopefully you guys can get reforms in at some point.

  • You can ask one question from a person from the year 3024. What are you asking?
  • To my knowledge, the sapient population is the human population of Earth.

    However, there are numerous sentient species that could conceivably be "uplifted" in the next thousand years. Plus, I consider it more likely than not that extraterrestrials do exist and that there's likely another sapient species out there, though they are unlikely to be in our general volume of space

  • What's your fave "No thoughts, head empty" music to listen to?
  • I have two moods for this:

    One is a playlist composed of most of the library of songs by PVRIS. I don't know why, but their music just really clicks with me; I can listen to that playlist all day with no problems (I usually hate listening to the same song more than once or twice a day).

    The other is a playlist of non-combat music from The Elder Scrolls. Really good for gentle background music.
