I once bought a digital/electric pressure cooker for $50 CAD barely used off craigslist in Toronto. They're not that expensive.

I meant more in the sense that it's less of a blocker if you wanted to use a different OS altogether. Many people are on Linux because it's the most well supported, but if you happ…

$1M invested in a reasonably diversified portfolio gets you about $3,000/mo lifetime at ~3.5% safe withdrawal rate. That might be quite restrictive in the more expensive cities.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the BSDs got an increase in users purely due to AI models making it far more accessible / easier to hack on. i.e. your PC is unsupported for some…

M4 Max is typically better than M5 Pro for inference IIRC.

Also classic, someone finally jumping in with a full and insightful explanation. What a turnaround!

from the article: >The stereotypical activist action is to make a petition. But Google had already ignored a large petition on this issue. Plus, Google’s executives likely hardened…

I love mental rule of thumbs / heuristics that we can install into our brain to avoid getting caught up in cognitive biases or other mistakes. An easy one that I would expect most …

Terminal is where the real work has always been done. VS Code on the other hand is 100% a fashion thing.

it started off with 500+ crates and then i still had to install dotslash crate which installed another 136 crates. seems insane.

That's how you know you've got the COOLEST car on the block! (unfortunately)

Nasdaq, FTSE Russell, and CRSP all implemented fast-track options. Fortunately S&P kept its 12-month requirement.

That's true. Although I think the article is really hinting at a larger problem than just creators. The problem of the power law distribution - few winners taking all vs the losers…

Good idea, but I also wouldn't be surprised if law enforcement already have better tools for detecting if someone nearby is wearing smart glasses.

I've got a suspicion that it was more common a few decades ago. I saw a bit of that in China back in 2007 but I wouldn't be surprised if it's less of a thing now.

bans only 1 day? man, I'd expand that to include mondays and tuesdays

Good read, aside from all the LLM-isms in the writing.

it's like a variation of the principle of "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it" a solipsistic viewpoint I su…

Deepseek v4 flash only costs about $0.13 by the time I hit 200,000 to 250,000 tokens.

some of my favorite forum communities heavily rely on acronyms. but they also have a maintained gossary that introduces all the community/industry-specific acronyms. Acronyms help …

but post-its are vulnerable to the wrench attack!

also there doesn't even need to be a model involved, agentic code harnesses with remote "instructions for the local computer" are technically backdoored by default.

probably depends a lot on the temperature setting, lower it is, the more similar the quality perhaps. the higher it is the more variance.
