Really? when you hear "steam" you think "the pioneers in exposing underage kids to gambling" ? I can't even picture gaben with a wispy moustache to twist evilly. I think that would…

As a Joe Piston, the starlink pricing constant-whipsaw has been really annoying. I love the tech. It's truly game-changing. And there is no competitor right now. I bought my mini d…

This title could have stopped at the fourth word.

That Eggenfellner dude on zuckbook has been spamming a continuous stream of his dream twin highwing and it looks nice. I hate his spam but love his mockups, I want it to be more th…

:) Baron. some 300hp effective little turbines with non-ridiculous fuel burn would be a "shut up and take my money" moment for me.

Calling my airplane a MAGA airplane is a good way to get my wife to argue for a boat instead. :)

I actually hope the turbotech holds up under actual use. I'd love to toss my IO-550Cs for Jet-A.

This is my experience too. In our auto claim, the dealership expressed relief that we had "US PayPay" for our insurer. No (or less) nickel and diming apparently and smooth payment.…

I have had VASTLY better free health coverage (OHP, Portland OR via Providence) than the current Kaiser dreck I and employer pay significant sums for. Healthcare is not a flex, and…

I share your take, but I think from the other side of the coin -- I am frequently finding interesting topics [flagged] by the time I click through, and it's mildly infuriating.

I feel like I have mourned the death of MSPub at least once before.

I've noticed myself and several colleagues have all taken to making little SaaS's for sport -- I'm not sure WHY we've all done that, but it's totally a thing. Maybe if there was a …

I feel seen. Straight to the "stuff to read later" bookmark pile/mausoleum :)

I am fully expecting the rollout of a Max 350 plan after July 7.

Iunno, I feel like being born in a first world country did most of that "top 0.1% of the world" work. That sentence works the same with and without AI/LLMs. Among peers, I feel lik…

I can't use my Claude Code or GPT subscriptions for API access. I don't want monthly subs to infrequently used models that I sometimes tap into. ...pretty much that's it. My 10 buc…

Your username is painfully not checking out here. :P

There are more responses to "hard to schedule, hard to afford" than "defer everything possible" You can fly something smaller and more inline with your budget You can share the pla…

You'll want the McSpadden report (formerly the Nall report) here [1] Pay attention to the accidents per 100,000 hours in commercial vs non-commercial fixed wing. Commercial is abou…

A "bad error" in a minivan does this too. The "bad error" in the plane would be flying into a thunderstorm. I equate this gobsmackingly bad judgement with driving a minivan off of …

I'm enjoying forgejo as a self-hosted repo. No complaints, and the actions I was using on GH transferred over cleanly. I understand it's not quite fully compatible though, but wort…

"The architectural design has been called "dull,"[4] and the entire concept of the complex is frequently referred to as "dystopian."[4][7][11] Residing in a "self-sufficient living…

I enjoyed this, in all of its silly big banana energy. I have an overdeveloped anti-authority streak, and I did not like to read that he was pulled over so often, but... I mean... …

worth it.

It's sort of the whole tension when you query vectorized data/embeddings -- you need to balance accuracy and recall against the performance you need. It took me a while to wrap my …
