gen z gorillas
  • Maybe the people complaining drown out everyone else. But people like David Hogg and Greta Thunberg are Gen Z and out doing more than most to fix the problems they see. Like maybe people complain that Gen Z has no idea what files on a computer are, but that seems like a different thing than helplessness.

  • Special counsel Jack Smith and his team to resign before Trump takes office
  • People looked at what Biden did for the last few years and that didn't help them.

    This is dumb. Thinking economic policy has immediate effects is dumb. Trump's good economy was largely a result of Obama's economic policy. The inflation during the Biden years was a result of Trump's economic policy and COVID. It takes years to dig out of that hole. Everyone knew (or maybe not, people are dumb) that COVID stimulus was going to be inflationary; it was just a gamble that it would be less painful than a more 2008 style financial crisis. The whole world was experiencing inflation and Trump's tax reform did not help the situation. Thinking tariffs will help fix the economy when the number one complaint is high prices is dumb.

  • AMD lays off 4% of its workforce
  • Yeah. I'm surprised they took from MI. Management was just complaining last week about how hard it is to hire RTL people and trying to juggle us around to all the generations and variants that need to be staffed. And then this week it's this. Maybe it is how they fire people; I haven't heard of anyone else being fired besides this layoff in the ~4 years I've been there.

  • AMD lays off 4% of its workforce
  • As someone who works at AMD not in AI, that's how they explained it to us. Or I guess it was a bit more generic "highest growth areas" and "still hiring for positions aligned with our strategic priorities." Which we generally took to mean AI based on the gestures broadly at the market.

  • meme
  • You're wrong about both paragraphs. It's not the days that fall into the circles. It's the activities you do on those days. So it's not a normal day that's world ending. It's things you do on both kinds of days.

  • meme
  • How so? One circle is things you do on a normal day. The other circle is things you do when the world is ending. And their overlap includes going to work. So you go to work on a normal day and on days the world is ending. And for some freaking reason that's true; even if the world is ending, you go to work

  • Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this?
  • There are the words straight out of Trump's mouth. If you believe that Democrats will kill more people than Republicans, that's a completely different conversation. Though it still mostly boils down to: genocide or worse genocide, pick one, and if you don't pick, you're likely to get worse genocide.

  • Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this?
  • More people than the Republicans would. And then I would vote Republican. Because that's the choice on election day.

    Edit: if all you're doing is not voting, you do nothing to help anyone. If you are actually helping in meaningful ways, then voting to pick the easier opponent does not undermine your work.
