I enjoyed their recent video on power law distributions and why they dramatically change how you should operate in those domains.
They also did some good content a short while ago explaining why Monsanto and Dupont are problematic.
That said you are right about the thumbnails since when I looked at the channel to double check that it was veritasium I was thinking of the title and thumbnail are completely different for all of them.
Valid, I got 15-20 from a Google search, but further research puts your numbers as more reasonable, I will edit the patent post.
I think it’s hard to definitely call something a bubble until it pops.
The definition of a bubble goes something along the lines of market prices exceeding the intrinsic value of the investment they represent, which may be true here?
If you want to read more about this the rough name for these companies was “the magnificent seven” a year or so ago when I last looked at this. A quick Google suggests represent about a third of the SNP 500’s value now and have a cape ratio (cyclicly adjusted price to earnings) of ~37 compared to 15-20 being normal.
Edit: the above baseline is incorrect; see sugar_in_tea’s comment for a more accurate baseline and some interesting counterpoints
I can’t find a good numerical source for the correlated risk within this group, and I suspect analyzing it is very difficult. Given they all used to be a lot more diversified in the past but now a large % of their valuation is predicated on AI historical correlation analysis probably fails. But the diagram linked here suggests it’s probably bad to put all your money in these companies. (Or even a 3rd if you are in an s&p 500 index tracker 😶)
Like, none of this definitively says this is a bubble, since if it were possible to divine that the bubble would immediately pop, but it does suggest there is a strong likelihood we are seeing a bubble.
Don’t design for having a nice codebase today, design for having a clean codebase after 3 months of Devs copy pasting one bit of code then tweaking it to do what they need or adding more fields to existing concepts.
This generally means it’s best to have one pattern for a given thing, rather than having several patterns you pick based on context, the later runs into problems:
A second consideration for this is that if there are a group of classes/files/whatever that regularly needs to be copied they should live together. If there are different sections of the code that needs to be edited when creating a new resource, they should be kept in one place and kept small-ish.
Most of this comes from accepting the way people tend to work and from the perspective that software is a living evolving process and only regarding a snapshot of it misses vital information.
Challenging, new boss battles for late-game players to overcome
Was Simon not enough 😨 I swear I am still getting the phase 2/3 music popping into my head randomly months later.
Jokes aside, definitely playing this on release.
I don’t even know if they do, this is possibly/probably just the government repeatedly and gleefully shooting itself in the foot.
Palestine protests themselves aren’t criminalised (despite the title), what is however is criminalised is support of the Palestine Action group.
This is because they are a proscribed as a terrorist organisation, after a couple of their members snuck onto a military base and spray painted aircraft.
This is stupid in almost every way you can look at it, it criminalises people who are innocent of everything but carrying a sign or wearing a t-shirt, it makes the government look both cruel and inept and it has (as far as I can tell) been a huge boon to the credibility of Palestine Action resulting in more people joining or at least supporting them. And finally it (makes the government appear to/reveals the government does) support a nation enacting a genocide.
As for why; the aircraft were refusing tankers https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A330_MRTT I assume this was done because of rumors that the RAF were refueling IDF planes bombing civilians but last I heard they use incompatible in flight fueling systems.
Various news articles suggest 7m of damage which seems a bit high for spray paint, my guess is that knowing that people with unknown intentions had unsupervised access to military aircraft they demanded the planes on be stripped and re built to check for other sabotage.
The UK terrorism laws are unfortunately defined very broadly and can apply in the case of serious damage to property, not just intent to cause death and injury https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2025/07/uk-palestine-action-ban-disturbing-misuse-uk-counter-terrorism-legislation
There was also some controversy in that PA were grouped in with organisations which meet the more common definition of terrorism https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/2/uk-lawmakers-vote-to-ban-palestine-action-as-terror-group

More compelling than the edit, thank you for posting this.

^ an article describing some of the reason Kissinger was such a vile person, including how he shares some of the responsibility for the rise of the Khmer Rouge
Tf did I do to you that I earned a call out like this? 😭
I’m not sure it’s particularly left or right leaning, there was a ban on social media, protests against the ban and the protestors were shot by armed police which sparked more protests and riots, the major grievance seems to be political corruption.
I don’t think any of ^ really slots into a traditional left/right framework, that said the more I read about Nepalese politics the more confused I become.
the corrupt government they are overthrowing is a coalition between Nepali Congress and the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist). Although prime minister Oli comes from the communist partner in the coalition despite them being the minor partner? But I have also read that they unified ml party merged with another communist party a while back?
Either way, glad to see corrupt politicians being replaced.
The letters that make up words is a common blind spot for AIs, since they are trained on strings of tokens (roughly words) they don’t have a good concept of which letters are inside those words or what order they are in.
The only metric to imperial conversion I remember is kilometers to miles since it’s pretty close to the golden ratio.
Even if you don’t remember that the golden ratio is 1.6 and a bit, you can approximate it by using successive terms of the Fibonacci sequence.
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 …
So 8 miles is about 13km (actually 12.87)
I think we don’t have enough language to talk about difficulty in a productive way.
You could keep all the boss mechanics the same in a game but add a 1 minute unstoppable cut scene at the start and the game is “more difficult” because it takes you longer to learn boss patterns and experiment with different strategies. But that feels very different to narrowing the windows to react or expanding the move set of a boss which feels different again to changing the values so you need to grind more/fewer levels or resources to pass it.
“Runback too long” and “git gud” sound a lot like people talking past eachother, but maybe thats just an artifact of the journalist reporting rather than the discussion itself
Because for a lot of people posting snark on the internet is more flattering to their ego than advancing the goals of movements they claim to support.
(Yes I amxaware of the irony within this post)
Technically the act passed in 2023 under the Sunak government.
That said; I can’t seem to find a vote breakdown and I would not be at all surprised if labour also backed it.
I’m hoping enough public dissatisfaction leads to labour repealing it but I won’t hold my breath.
It’s supposed to be the sound French people make when they laugh, despite none of the french people I know sounding anything like that.
I think it’s part of this weird cultural stereotyping the internet does where someone posts a funny meme with an inaccurate stereotype in it, then a legion of mouth breathers re-post the same meme whenever the nationality in question comes up, then due to repetition people who have never met that nationality thinks its real.
People stopped doing the fake “Ching Chong” false Chinese accent bit ages ago (thank god) but I guess France and the French are still valid targets.
Same, since this is something I struggled with for a while and this thread is old I will try to give (my) understanding of humour in general and how it applies here.
Okay, as far as I can tell the root of all humour is something unexpected/surprising/confusing.
A lot of wordplay operates by having you understand a sentence one way then
The surprise here is that you expect where there is a will there’s a way, and you expect “will” to refer to willpower, the unexpected aspect is that when you get to the end of the sentence it actually means last will and testament.
Comical misunderstandings in comedy fall under this, “edgy” humour is predicated on the idea that people will conform to polite discord then they break it. Cringe comedy is the same but rather than polite it’s “cool” (or whatever the atonym for cringe is.)
In this case the surprise is just that the doll looks like the daughter, you expect the doll to be some random famous character and instead it’s an image of someone you know.
This is mildly amusing but not that funny, what makes it hilarious (I assume) is the feedback loop between father and daughter. If he had been in the shop and seen it by himself there might have been a chuckle but not much more.
He shows her the mildly funny doll, she makes an unimpressed face as seen in the photo; she probably finds it a bit funny, but doesn’t want to give her dad a “win” for something which is vaguely at her expense, so puts on an unimpressed face. Having known her for her whole life Dad understands what is happening intuitively, this is the second layer of funny where the daughter is putting on an act, then it compounds because the contrast between his reaction and hers is amusing and the more he finds the situation funny the more pointed the contrast becomes causing a feedback loop.
The difference in reaction is a classic comedy trope people find funny, thats why most multi person comedy acts have someone play “the straight man”
Sadly I don’t think I can source this since nobody explains any of this so it’s all observation and trial and error
