    To your last point, the Minneapolis Fed just put out a call for a new actual-owner backed housing occupancy rate called HPOP which I think is a step in the right direction: https:/…

    Anecdata here but my 60-something year old mother acts like a sullen teenager around my kids/her grandchildren. She just scrolls endlessly on her phone until my father/her husband …

    Tailscale uses MagicDNS which allows one to auto-generate a semi-memorable private hostname as well. I'm in the networking industry so I'm not seeing anything truly groundbreaking …

    Thank you for answering that question because I adore OrbStack and didn't find much difference.

    I think computer/smartphone usage has been changing that latent space for quite some time. People have been talking about "character amnesia" since 2010.

    My steamdeck broke about 15 years of strict PC Gaming habits for me. Games like Balatro and Megabonk have broken my previous definition of "fun" in a fantastic way.

    Yep, on the money. It's not too dissimilar from the Figure demo that was done on X/Twitter recently. Everyone was pointing out what a lackluster demo that was and here I was thinki…

    I'm not a Netflix staff member but I work in the networking realm and can answer some of these questions (also gives me the chance to say something wrong where someone with the rea…

    I will posit something that guides my own thinking about this; robotaxis will never drink and drive. I'll take whatever flavor of mistake they conjure over that. I can deal with st…

    You might have missed it but the OP's comment was dripping in literal sarcasm. Google's track record for product management is poor.

    > I just don’t care for a cool quirky thing if an AI made it. While I understand the knee-jerk reaction, especially to writing, people make about AI, it's starting to have a counte…

    Yep, couple Open WebUI for general chats and OpenCode for software-specific tasks and it feels close to Claude Desktop and Claude Code.

    I don't think the majority of people have given it a passing thought to be fair. For folks that grew up with the advent of being the "designated family googler" (and rested the suc…

    They just released their enterprise agentic platform today so my expectation is that might be the gravity well for the Fortune 500's to park their inference on.

    Does your physical environment change that much that it requires cognitive load for you to decide on what cables to use? For myself, I bought two wireless charge "base" stations th…

    It honestly feels like a segue to just talking to the agents that won't really have much of a long time horizon. People who either prefer or are professionally required to maintain…

    Doesn't seem accurate considering GovDeals has auctions in NY, NJ and CT listed but your website has nothing.

    I have not tried it but prior to them releasing that feature, I used an iOS terminal with SSH mosh capabilities + Tailscale + Tmux session mounted to see what the output of my home…

    Still confused on why there is no social component of this? What is the best place to find examples of actual useful Apple Shortcuts?

    I mean the answer to underground facilities is you just keep bombing the entrance which is exactly what they've done. Iran still has insane supply levels of ballistic missiles so t…

    Comcast has a very strict peering policy as well. They, like Deutsche Telekom, like to hold their proverbial customers hostage to make other networks pay to peer.
