I think if you've been alive long enough you've had to deal with situations where you need to put aside your ego and just do the thing that has to be done to overcome it. But to sort of be in a similar mode virtually all the time,

Being an astronaut seems cognitively expensive. Your time is regimented down to the minute. Your space is regimented down to the inch. The things you bring up and down, including yourself, is measured to the pound. I would imagine you have

Its bad if the expected demand is an illusion. For example, when a company builds out a data center they don't build it for demand today, they build it for the demand they expect when the data center is running and for how much they ex

Sure, but DRAM is a commodity and is classically cyclical. This is a particularly large cycle but so long as the historic pattern holds (and there's not a ton of reason to think it won't unless the hyperscalars can go into greater

Keep it simple and boil it down to the big categories: for example, physical health, mental health, social health. Don't try to do it all at once, if you can touch one category each day great. If you can touch every category every day

I'm sort of in the same boat but I'm finding every day more and more people I trust gleefully use these tools. I still don't really get it. I get suggestions of things I should try, techniques I should try, how to prompt, how

One thing I miss about the iPod era is that Apple knew they were selling a device to play pirated music. It doesn't take much look at how much music an iPod could store, how much music cost, and how much people had in disposable income

We probably need more time to say for sure, but it might be David Chase. The Sopranos is partly an extended character study of someone who strives to fill American values as we imagine ourselves but also embodies American values as they act

Because the defaults aren't just for convenience, the API designer is also making the parameters they think should be used the most have the least resistance. Good example is runtime parameters like in the JVM. You shouldn't start

Its simple. Nobody is posting because nobody is going to read your posts. The intense dive into algorithmic feeds over chronological ones sourced from your friends means that nobody is going to see your posts. Nobody is going to comment o

The problem is that "AI: The Product" and "AI: The Company" have two different marketing needs that undercut each other. AI companies need to come off as these big scary world transforming entities because they need conc

The current thinking is automated agents is what turns this from an industry in the tens of billions to a multi trillion dollar one. So yes you are right on the money, agents stimulate demand for this thing they've built.

Just to clarify because it seems like most of the comments aren't understanding. Berkshire sold the Amazon stock in the fourth quarter of last year meaning it is likely the last large move Warren Buffett is going to make as head of Ber

Its probably not very likely that if a large buyer pulled out, NVIDIA could just sell to other customers. If a large buyer pulls out, that's a massive signal to everyone else to begin cutting costs as well. The large buyer either knows

I personally don't find using LLMs "fun" but I do like this article for one simple reason. It points out that most contemporary frameworks for web are forms of slop and I don't think you should feel bad using an LLM to g

I learned an instrument (guitar), then I learned another instrument (bass guitar). I caught up with my family, I got to spend a lot more time with my nephews and nieces. I got to spend a lot of time with my dad. I picked back up circuit des

I'd caveat everything in this article with the backdrop of film and TV being in a down cycle. So of course everyone is trying to cut costs. If and when studios figure out how to profit in the streaming era (or the distribution method c

Money should be no object, I just worry that this is the result of a generation coming of age in the tightest labor market in a half century and they're all in for an extremely rude awakening over the next couple years.

Even Chromium started with WebKit which itself was a fork. This doesn't mean you shouldn't be interested in browser dev but you also don't have to do a totally clean sheet implementation.

I agree but it's more important that we share a common system and it's incredibly expensive to switch (not just monetarily). For better or worse, if there's gonna be one system it will be decimal. Take heart that decimal time

My parents love watching those videos so I know what you're talking about. There's four factors I think. One, the quality of the saffron makes a big difference in price. Longer deeper red strands are much more expensive than short

Part of me agrees that pop is ripe for that sort of upheavel but my arguments that it won't happen are: 1. Angst will probably always be the teenage condition but I don't think the distance between what's being recorded and w

How can we say "consumers will pay a bit more and shareholders will see lower returns"? We just went through an episode of tight labor and it resulted in high inflation in the US and companies recorded blockbuster profits by pursu

You really put into words something I've experienced but couldn't articulate. Every time I've used a headset I've gotten not fatigued but just a general feeling of malaise and had to put it down and take a break. I would

Depends on who is the current owner of the unsold, rented out units. If it's the developer, the bids were probably far lower than expected but they expect the prices to rebound. In general, developers are really not in the business of

I don't think Meta will intentionally try to snuff out Mastodon but I don't think Threads breaking from Mastodon will have it just return to its pre Threads momentum. Look it just makes sense to start out connecting Threads users

Smoking reduces quality years of life and puts a burden on a nation's health system. The drastic decrease in productivity in a nation from those two things has got to be far more than any increase from any cognitive benefits. But more
