I was reading a post about the life of a congressman and it's actually horrifying, on the level of the stores of salarymen in Japan who sacrifice everything for the company. For me personally being famous is a curse…
The JF190 trail runners feel just like Pegasus to me, I haven't tried the road version of the same but it's basically the cheapest shoe in the store. The first time I tried it, I almost couldn't bring myself to buy it,…
I used to get all my running shoes from Nike, the Pegasus line which was always their basic running shoe that was very good overall. These days, I can get what is basically the same shoe from Decathlon for 1/5th the…
Haha I can do it, it was a fun trick in school days to freak people out.
For me I describe it more as trying to open your jaw with the muscles near your ear, while holding the jaw in place with the main jaw muscles. Like an isometric hold. I actually didn't know I could do it until now, I…
Ah, so it's not faster than c, it's faster than light's speed inside the medium. This makes a lot more sense.
My apologies, I thought it was obvious that if you saved 90% of your salary, you would, in fact, then invest it.
I'd say this should push Americans towards smaller, more fuel efficient cars and EVs, but I know better. The American consumer seems immune to price pressure.
Nope. Before the kids we had an incredible savings rate. Sometimes around 80-90%. Now our spending is much higher but the growth of our investments over the last 10 years has been incredible and outpaced that by a large…
2 kids.
There is a good amount of variability in weather, there is a rainy season, but solar irradiance is mostly the same and strong here overall. So a big array and a big battery can see you through everything but the worst…
Philippines is seeing an incredible explosion in solar power, but none of this kind of thing. Instead it's driven by a gray market - equipment is imported, mostly without paying proper duties and taxes, installers are…
Hah this is very true, though I'd argue the real Raptor with a snorkel is the gaming PC. I'm typing this on one right now and I mostly play Factorio which could run on any old potato, so yeah I'm that guy. The MBP is…
Spend less money, save more money, then retire. I'm retired at 42 and I hardly had a top shelf career, middle of the pack at best. Even if you're starting at zero you can do it in 10 years very easily, 5 if you haven't…
There's an optimistic future where Medicare becomes so much more efficient it becomes politically obvious to expand it because it's outperforming the mess that is private sector healthcare. With AI I could actually see…
> even just like 3-5 actual cities per planet would be a start This often takes me out of immersion in reading sci fi books. Every planet has one culture, one ruler, one major city. I know it's usually just a…
I think for most people there is a big gulf between information posted to social and their entire email inbox, their credit card details, passwords, etc. For this kind of tool to be useful it basically has to be able to…
Jellyfin works great for me. My only gripe is logging around library scanning being pretty difficult to interpret. I'd love to add a dedicated scanner log that focuses only on logs relating to scanning, which for me…
I think it's a good idea but in this space, that's probably a smell. I met my wife there, been married 15 years now. 97% match, we've basically never had a big argument.
These articles make me wonder, are we driving ourselves into a local maximum of progress? If people move to React because agents know React, will the next better framework ever get traction? Extrapolate this thought to…
I hope that with LLMs we'll see a lot faster identification of these anomalies. Imagine that this guy taught at MIT and has his own lab at Duke, basically more than 20 years of taking up some of the most prestigious…
I love it as a browser. The startup screen shocks me every now and then, pimping some crypto shit or another, but other than that, it's good.
You can try Brave, it's Chromium under the hood so it's usually accepted and has built in ad blocking, and a one click way to turn it off for a specific site if you have an issue.
He would have written a shorter post, but he didn't have the time.
I agree, my experience working in large organizations is that there is a ton of bloat everywhere you look. I also think it would be good for the industry, too many really talented people are tied up in these super high…
