I am trying to help other people to not waste their time.
Save your time & do not watch this garbage.
It is just monkeys sitting around a table and shouting.
Not a civil discussion or an insightful analysis.
Pretty much every tracker has bonus points for seeding, you dont need actual upload to have high ratio.
It sounds like you are more interested in complaining and arguing online, rather than solving your problems.
Meanwhile, I joined my first private tracker 3 years ago, and now I am in all of them (ptp, btn, etc). I do not have to worry about the ratios (cross-seed is set and forget), and after awhile you have more "upload" and "ratio" then you need for a lifetime. I barely have to seed anymore. I log in once in a while, but otherwise do not have to participate in the communities, and the selection is awesome (they basically have everything, even Mexican B movies from the 1940s, whatever floats your boat). They saturate my fiber when I download too.
But do keep complaining and arguing, you will feel better.
If you are basic, then Torrentleech will cover 99.999% of your needs. It costs a few $ to join (a one time fee, and you get 1 month of free VPN), or just sign up for r/opensignups, and wait until they are open for registrations (typically once per year).
If you are too old for trackers, then just sign up for usenet. You will have to pay for it though.
Looks interesting. I will try it.
I do not see a way to report a bug on the page.
Would they have any profitable quarters if you subtracted gov subsidies and "green credit sales"?
Last I checked a few years ago, they were never truly profitable.
Why even bother with this? Just bridge the gap with DS4 for pennies, and keep working.
Just because that guy has no sense of humour, it does not mean we should swat his house repeatedly.
I laughed out loud at the n lg n ^ (1 - 2^{-182}). It is so funny.
I guess I am an outlier, I did not have any grapes until September, when Ontario grapes became available.
It did not feel right to buy murican grapes at full price in the middle of the summer.
"Coca farmers are struggling to sell cocaine".
Grow more table grapes? Here in "Northern America" I haven't seen grapes on sale the whole summer, not even once.
>> GPT‑6 Sol vs. GPT‑5.6 Sol
>> $4 → $2
>> $20 → $10
Do you mean 100% more expensive? GPT 6 is 100% more expensive than 5.6 per your post.

Hard af.
Can you ask it for an SVG of a bicycle riding a pelican? Thanks.
>> GitHub has become unreliable, low quality software.
They are owned by Microsoft, what did you expect exactly?
Andrew Wiles gave 3 lectures, and only at the end of the last one he announced that he solved FLT. Imagine someone from the audience announced in between the second and the third lecture that they proved FLT (using his ideas, obviously).
Why is it OK if openAI does it?
Let me guess. Everything?
Nah, I tried to post a long reply yesterday, but YC was glitching, so I just gave up.
I asked AI to formalize an old important paper in analysis. In the paper there is a sequence of epsilon_n > 0, epsilon_n -> 0. It came back, and said: "I formalized it, it is all good, but the assumption that epsilons > 0 is not used anywhere. Shall we remove it, you a get a stronger result this way?"
LOL
The author lost me right away.
>> I started with the most basic code I could think of: 1 + 2
OK, how did you fit that into 512/1024 bytes??? Did you try 'print(3 * 1000)'?
And occasional steak? I love steak.
I am a pesca-pescaterian, btw.
Did it also make a 4D chess Stockfish 19 for you?
>> With the show always being filmed in front of a live studio audience (any scenes filmed outside were played back in the studio) it meant the laughter heard is an authentic measure of the audience's reaction.
You can stop reading after this. Garbage in, garbage out.
Did you even watch the whole thing?
