You linking that also-fantastic post is one of the funniest things I’ve seen all day. Well done! I laughed my ass off.

Honestly I don’t know. But I do know it was pretty understeer prone when stock, so I’m not sure.

I didn’t even know how to drive stick when I bought it, so I didn’t want to have to learn both stick and RWD. Especially not with the ice and snow we get here in Michigan. 😅

I am so thankful for the FR-S. I have a 2015 Scion tC, and when the FR-S dropped Scion updated the design language of the gen 2 tC (2011-2013) to the gen 2.5 (2014-2016) to copy some of the language of the FR-S, and it looks SO MUCH BETTER.

(Such a fun little car. Not as much fun as the FR-S, I’m sure, but a 2-door Corolla with a Camry/RAV-4 engine and a six-speed manual transmission is a blast, let me tell you.)

paying for youtubers

Like it or not the platform is full of people trying to make a living independently producing content. Most of them are not making very much money. Watching with an adblocker means they aren’t earning any revenue, which is unsustainable. Watching with a Premium subscription means I don’t see ads and they get more revenue (even more so than ad-supported views).

Those people aren’t massive corporations. They’re independent creators. And generally speaking the content I watch on YouTube is content I want to support.

I’m not trying to say it’s like, inherently ethically wrong to watch YouTube without ads or Premium. But it certainly isn’t ethically superior.

You subscribe to every single channel you watch on Patreon? That’s remarkable!

I doubt it. Regardless of the current stage of machine learning, everyone is now tuned in and pushing the tech. Even if LLMs turn out to be mostly a dead end, everyone investing in ML means that the ability to do LOTS of floating point math very quickly without the heaviness of CPU operations isn’t going away any time soon. Which means nVidia is sitting pretty.
