This seems like a more expensive version of the rabbit or friend ai pins. What is going to differentiate this above any of (1) my phone that can use any AI provider and I can alrea…

Some of them are right next to housing. Huntington beach has wells adjoining homes near the beach. Look up the prices of the houses if you want to really go crazy

Does your garmin watch not charge? If you call them and are nice they'll probably give you a heavily discounted replacement. Mine died on me randomly and they gave me a new 900 ser…

I worked at a startup that was briefly a unicorn and ended up burning cash because they did exactly what you said of focusing a lot on tooling and dev environment. It was great but…

I think our QAs do pay attention a bit more than that, but some of the things they do flag as issues show (to me) that they don't pay a lot of attention until after we've merged an…

I'm in legacy/finance right now and we have a QA team that we share with maybe 2 or 3 other dev teams. I think our integration testing systems could be a lot more efficient but I t…

The average index fund may not even be the best idea anymore - look at how most of the index providers except S&P caved on including an enormous but barely-tested IPO that has now …

It's very fun as a process and it's cool to be surrounded by things you made. We're so disconnected with where things come from (food, clothes, etc) that for me and people I know i…

I wonder how much a good process of meetings, tickets or whatever sort of documents etc for handling new ideas and features would speed this up or bring it back to linear. I've bee…

There are corporations like Blackwater and CoreCivic that subcontract both of these for the US government today or Wagner (RIP) in Russia. The pinkertons and the US state have also…

Source: I imagined it

I never got into the podcasts side but it was good for synthesizing multiple documents in a way chatgpt or google's ai overview couldn't, but now I will just dump a couple PDFs int…

Yeah I love my forerunner 945. Got it used in 2020 and when it died in 2023 Garmin replaced it for $150 including tax and shipping. Couple friends have got the new fancier touchscr…

Coming from legacy enterprise I am using claude to do exactly this for some of my team's more bizarre and poorly documented "inventions" that started out as their pet project and t…

> You also have to consider the Amdahl's law: a 10x speedup on 10% of the project is just a 9% speedup overall. This is totally true for me. I'm working on more features/bugs at wo…

Depending on where you are, there are nice middle class apartments that can be family friendly. I have friends not in tech in my same neighborhood with a three bedroom place for 15…

It looks like a lot of neighborhoods in American cities that are adjacent or outside the downtown business district or even suburbs on the commuter rail lines. A main commercial st…

I thought tweaking was his highest calling

Surely the top way to avoid traffic congestion would be communities where it's possible to live near where you work, shop, go out, etc. and not doing everything else exactly the sa…

Great note about how public transit gives us time back from the commute. When I moved to the city after college I first lived a 12 minute train ride from the office and tried readi…

True, it is pretty bad at getting right to what I want. A genuinely useful integration of AI would be to process and classify listings on upload so that I can have more filters on …

People like Zuck are incredible outliers when it comes to wealth and most people are basically underwater financially. A lot of us do send some money to the food bank or the local …

It feels like the only thing it's really big in now in the states for is facebook marketplace, which is just a slightly higher trust (but still scam and flake prone) version of cra…

I got around 50-60 on my m3 max so 100tps seems very realistic for 2 gens later of chip and double the ram

I think that's a good point, never thought about it like that. I like the abstraction level that Spring Boot brings, but working with a principal engineer who was very into AOP on …
