It's a good Lovecraft quote,but I was inspired by Collective Soul's Shine when I saw the OP. Lay me on the ground And fly me in the sky Show me where to look Tell me, what will I f…

How far will we peer into the unknown? What will we find out there?

Fine particulates aren't a problem if you wear a gas mask though.

I'm looking forward to running a Gemma 4 turboquant on my 24GB GPU. The perf looks impressive for how compact it is. I often get a 10x more cost effective run processing on my loca…

I'm pretty sure even chatgpt could have told the senior leaders at Google to invest heavily in AI. Not a difficult call to make.

I think your implicitly getting at something here. Both are dealing with an inferiority/superiority dynamic. The suggestion of a group you identify as being less, causes a predicta…

The current admin wants even cheaper money, which is likely to embolden well connected borrowers to pump up whatever they think will hold a bit of value. It was housing, which hit …

It's market manipulation. You get a chase going (panic buying) by those that are short (need to buy memory in the future). Run up the price on those shorts and squeeze them out as …

Same It made me think of The Who - Love, Reign O’er Me. Only love can bring the rain That makes you yearn to the sky Only love can bring the rain That falls like tears from on high…

I’m giving the Asus Proart P16 a try, if I was trying for maximum battery life I’d probably avoid the discrete gpu (e.g. a zenbook or similar). I am not a full time road warrior so…

Tahoe crippled my Intel 2019 MBP and cost me plenty of time and incurred a lot of frustration until I gave up and reformat the ssd. I am switching to Linux for both my desktop and …

I don’t find it very gendered, my sister and I used to do this often, like young wolf pups, we’d jostle and play for the upper hand. I have women friends who will play like this wi…

I've developed a system that checks out a git repo into a docker compose container, tells claude to read a feature story, then implement it with --dangerously-skip-permissions turn…

You do your best and let the sea take of the rest. Anyhow, vibe coding is pretty low stakes compared to the joys and terrors you'll find out at sea. Bon voyage!

It’s a great movie here are a few of my favorite quotes from Jerome, a genetically engineered superbaby. “Jerome Morrow was never meant to be one step down on the podium.” Jerome E…

My first boss at the uni would tease me about my Emacs usage, saying, “It’s an operating system with a text editor tacked on.” I just smiled and loaded up a game of snakes within m…

Moody’s isn’t taking a radical position. They’re adjusting to a consensus position rather than being an outlier. It’s no secret the USA fiscal path is unsustainable, the Fed has sa…

> It'll get a lot worse before it gets better. If they're getting away with it, they'll do it again. The tariffs were paused for 90 days. The plan is to run the same playbook in 90…

He does all the above! He owns his own social media stock (DJT), where he post this morning "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT" to his followers. Attracting more to his social med…

Val Kilmer's playfulness shines as he departs on April Fool's day - a real genius move. Thanks for the good times Val!

I recently bought 4 lifepo4 12v 100ah ~1200 wh for $159 off Amazon as a retail customer. Battery storage is indeed cheap and accessible to the average person. Pair it with new 24% …

It's been quite a show! Some nice CMEs, flares, comets and now a big alignment. I feel really blessed to be under clear skies to see these ancient celestial bodies dance across the…

Yes and it can be quite absurd and right on the nose. While Putin feeds humans to the dogs of war, he will at the same time chide his countryfolk that they are not having enough ch…
