The American consumer is an enigma

Not to make light of it but deployments are hard! I think that psychologically not knowing when it will end is extra difficult. When I served in Afghanistan I knew pretty well how long the deploymen…

Bluesky's problem isn't technical, it's all about network effects. I begrudgingly read twitter because everyone I follow is on twitter. Bluesky is far more pleasant to use too!

Bizarre seeing this since I'm currently listening to The Life Aquatic soundtrack while I work.

So much software engineering going on

I also report strange time anomalies. I blasted to Burlington from Nashua early morning and it took ~3 hrs to get there and ~7 hrs to get home...in a manual transmission. I'd do it again too, lif…

I see Nvidia as very risky due to their chips all being fabbed in Taiwan and Taiwan is risky due to China.

What's the danger? They slide back down to being just a gaming graphics card company with a $10 share price?

It's interesting that we all hate anonymous or spoofed calls over the phone but when it comes to the internet this is apparently the highest form of free protected speech. Why is this OK on one n…

So that includes Android? What about the Unix of iOS? You can also thank big tech for this because they'll do anything to not verify age on their platforms they want to push it onto devices and O…

And where did OpenAI get that money to spend?

Repeal Section 230

All of this tech has turned to ashes in my mouth

Wolf of Wall Street FYI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJOKgFbMdzY

A typewriter is a function. You press a key and you get one and only one result right? 1 to 1 AI generatively creates different output every time.

Here we go with the "speech" again. Anything that regulates big tech is met with cries about speech. Very convenient.

18 launches for $1.6B sounds like a terrible deal for SpaceX. Will they even profit?

Perhaps typing the code by hand means you are more deliberate and less likely to have the LLM produce thousands of lines of diarrhea.

Consumer NASes should take advantage of physical presence. There should be better functionality for a user that is standing next to the thing.

A side effect of keeping a stock/bond asset allocation is that when the stocks tank you'll naturally be overweight on bonds, so you can sell bonds to buy stocks (the dip).

Terrible irresponsible feature.

Mine had a video game rental store next door (GameCrazy) where I met other gamers.

> companies have shown that they will abuse any personal information that is shared with them This is the rot at the center of tech IMO. We have all these wondrous toys but we can't do somethi…
