Rude neural network

Jesus Christ, just bring a DNA sequencer.

And yes, Nvidia and OpenAI and anthropic and so on are absolutely overvalued.

There’s a good read about the bubble here:

How Catastrophic Is It If the AI Bubble Bursts? An FAQ. - The Ringer - https://www.theringer.com/2025/11/04/tech/ai-bubble-burst-popping-explained-collapse-or-not-chatgpt

Luckily, data centers and AI companies don’t actually employ that many people so when the bubble pops the government doesn’t actually have to intervene much. If you mortgaged your house to invest in Nvidia then you might want to cash out now.

You should compare revenue to GDP, not market cap. Nvidia revenue for 2025 has been very good so far at about 130 billion USD while the GDP of Canada was about 2.3 trillion USD.

But some of the Nvidia revenue is paid in equity so you need to add uncertainty on the value when figuring out their revenue.

So “eight foot” and “eight feet”?

Statisticians: we don’t need no stinking cross validation - my math is flawless

Yeah, but it’s not digestion because obviously your body controls it’s own pH. It’s from the transition from alchemy to chemistry. If you burn things to ashes and then dissolve the ashes in water is the result acid or alkaline (I guess it could be neutral but it doesn’t seem like that’s an option to them). The only foods that are actually alkaline is eggs. And lutefisk and other things that you add lye or baking soda to.

I got this from Reddit (I know, sorry)

"u/reinschlau • 1y ago It’s a joke. But out of curiosity I ctrl+f’ed through the collected works, and the only mention of cocaine was in a letter from Engels to Ludwig Kugelmann (volume 48), in 1889 (after Marx’s death, when Engels would have been editing Capital vol 3 and whatever else Marx left behind):

Dear Kugelmann, A Happy New Year to you. Thank you for the prescription for my eyes, which, however, is not nearly concentrated enough for me. Last year and up till August I used cocaine and, as this grew less effective (on account of habituation), went on to ZnCl 2 , which works very well.

But there are also relevant discussions of alcohol and opium in The Condition of the Working-Class in England and elsewhere."

It seems to cover most of it. You probably have to read the relevant parts on alcohol and opium to get the full picture but it is mostly a joke.

PS the uses of cocaine as a medication in olden days is pretty fun some times. I once saw an ad for cocaine as a “nasal anesthetic”. I bet that flew off the shelves. Seriously though, it was probably fairly expensive and diluted.

The list of symptoms is really long for both autism and adhd and there’s significant overlap. The same goes for identified genetic risk factors (if there wasn’t I would definitely assume the genetics work was wrong). Trying to separate the two into clearly distinct categories is a fool’s game in my view.

I meant to pick up packages but now it’s raining 😭

From my reading of social media there are two kinds of neurodivergents: 1) hates showing, most unpleasant experience, sensory overload 2) loves showering, could live in the shower, sometimes exits the shower and realises that they forgot to wash their hair or soap up or something. Only misses their daily shower when they are very busy and can’t find an hour in their schedules.

You may be a neurotypical if you:

• shower each day
• complete your shower in less than 10 minutes
• don’t forget any of the 1-3 things you are supposed to do in the shower
• have no strong feelings about showering
