   I wonder how many people have a subscription and don’t fully utilize it. That’s free money for them, too.

   I asked Gemini 3 Flash the other day to count from 1 to 200 without stopping, and it started with “1, 3, …”.

   I just run sub agents in parallel. Yesterday I used Codex for the first time yesterday. I spun up 350,640 agents and got 10 years of experience in 15 minutes.

   If the party on the receiving end of a search needs to be a lawyer to simply understand the legality of a warrant, I’d argue the search is unreasonable.

   I was hiking in Nepal a couple years ago. I regularly saw porters carrying 85kg (187 lbs) of wood on there backs up the mountain trails (pic I took: https://imgur.com/a/ahJhoi9 ). I asked my Nepali guide how much he c

   LOL, I was having an online chat with a friend the other day and commented I sound like an LLM.

    Doesn’t duty free shopping typically happen after one goes through security?

    That’s pretty stupid. If the value drips, it’s no longer sufficient collateral.

    I don’t disagree with you, but there are diminishing returns on making your test suite complex. To make async test work properly, you need to know what you’re doing in regards to message passing, OTP, mocks, shared memory, blah blah blah.

    There will always be a market if the interest rates are high enough. But wanting to lower interest rates and introducing political instability seems like a bad combo.

    I did EBC in late 2024, and I've done a few other treks, too. I will say that while EBC was great & I'm glad I went, it's far more commercialized & full of tourists than some other treks. I found the experience of o

    To get a UK phone number, is it not enough to get a tourist plan? Most places I’ve been have tourist SIM cards at the airport, and more recently tourist eSIM plans.

    Exercise is great for addressing feelings related to being physically inactive. It won’t address other mental health issues, such as learning to control your emotions & fostering healthy relationships.

    Yes & no. Higher costs can obviously be passed onto consumers, but higher taxes make things a less attractive investment, too. The higher your costs regardless of whether a unit is occupied or not, the less interesting it is an an inv

    I am currently traveling in the Philippines and used a cheap eSIM provider offering nearly unlimited data. The only problem was all the traffic was getting routed through China, and then I encountered a bunch of great firewall or geolocati

    P/E isn't the only way to value a company. A company can be unprofitable, and therefore not have a P/E, and still be worth something. A quickly growing startup that is losing money on paper but has free positive cash flow i

    I remember being amazed when the Michael Keaton’s Batman movie was released on VHS in the same year as the theatrical release. I had never seen a movie come out for home use that fast.

    Here's my hot take: politicians should be paid a lot of money, and in return they should be subject to limits on how they can invest, if they can invest at all. Remove the incentives that cause corruption and attract talent. I think

    If you're a stellar applicant, you can still get ghosted by simply having your CV at the bottom on the pile.

    I agree. These days it seems like everything is a micro-optimization to squeeze out a little extra revenue. Eventually most companies lose sight of the need to offer a compelling product that people would be willing to wait for.

    Is a little downtime such a bad thing? Trying to avoid some bumps and bruises in your business has diminishing returns.

    No, these are just the raw numbers. Adjusting for inflation, I guess recovery times would be even longer.
