Drinkers order more. Every cocktail is $2-3 for the waiter nowadays.

My favorite was a place in Chinatown with a curtain for privacy. Outside a couple of guys where killing a seemingly limitless collection of lives chickens.

You gotta remember that people with money have money. Money doesn’t make you smart, gives you the ability to hire the smartest people. But, to paraphrase the Prussian general 2 x 2, the most dangerous person in power is a man who is both st

You can’t be loyal to these things. I ditched ChatGPT during the peak Claude hype after Christmas. I feel like Claude has shittified a bit and ChatGPT is good and fast. Gemini remains mediocre, although it seems Google AI energy is directed

If you had enough systems under control in an area, you could probably create a brown out or some other type of scenario by turning off 1000 houses on the right day.

That is both true and not quite true at the same time. The notion of the Yeoman farm family supporting itself off its land is mostly a myth. Like everything else. it’s been capitalized and farms have consolidated over time. There were lots

Don’t bike shed. Tax and spend Trump is making your gas more expensive and allowing you Latin American burgers to out American farmers out of business.

Sure there is, they are conspiring to break a variety of federal laws and continue to do so. I continue to get ads to join WhatsApp “investor groups” supposedly endorsed by Warren Buffet. I got one the other day that is run by Charlie Munge

Look around. The raging dumpster fire consuming everything was started by armies of stupid old people manipulated on platforms like Facebook. The kids will be ok. The revolution won’t be started by boomer dads.

Perhaps, but Canada will emerge stronger. The US doing to flip Congress by a margin of 2 and just lock in Trump insanity until something really bad pops.

True, but men tend to be physically larger and heavier. My guess is any differences are very general and relevant over population, and can be compensated by training.

Definitely a great candidate for being a intelligence agencies resource, either cooperatively or without their knowledge. They have a ridiculously large network for their vending machines, and a massive global footprint.

I worked with some ambitious motherfucker who fancied himself so important and so busy his secretary scheduled when he would take a piss. He told me once that his work was his passion and his legacy. No kids, no wife. And he was brilliant a

That’s probably sooner than you think. DOTs are intercepting trucks with drones and measuring wheel temperatures and other metrics to do targeted enforcement rather than pulling over every truck. There’s also pilots of road sensors that can

I just don't agree, and that's ok. I love your point about social media. IMO, initially they didn't know what they had with social media - it took the right kind of uninhibited sociopath to monetize/weaponize it. That&#x

These are services, so "how would <x> do this today?" is irrelevant. The real question is: "What can manipulation of pseudo-random number generation do?" We know that in the cryptographic world, attacking "ran

> So I agree that the watermarking has a cost. But you can't leave out that it is an attempt to reduce negative externalities of AI. Whether it's a realistic or worthwhile attempt is a whole other debate (and Gruber does a good

They use different bun purveyors. West coast has sesame seeds, northeast has weird wheat bits and Canada has a smaller bun with some sesame seeds. IMO, Canada has the superior bun. They also have the smoked meat sandwich, but their pizza is

Fair, I am mad about it. My folks utility bill for a 1100 sqft home is now $700/mo all winter. That’s more than double over 5 years, and most of that is delivery cost, not commodity.

I don’t think that bussing protestors is a problem per se, but it’s useful as an assessment of how much cash is behind an issue. I used to be an officer of a union that did that regularly. It was very obvious what our agenda was and how it

I’ll be frank - I don’t buy this stuff because there are well funded agendas behind it. We find ourselves in an era where electrical utilities have shifted from widow & orphan dividend stocks to growth companies… and shockingly the envi

Irrelevant due to a scoping problem. If you’re peddling a dietary supplement there is virtually no regulation at all. As long as you don’t say anything in the marketing material, you’re good. The only science in supplements is the marketing

Maps used to be a map with place information. Now it’s Yelp with a map. For most of my journeys, Apple Maps is more reliable.

Don’t worry, the deeply principled conservative justices will never allow some random bureaucrats to legislate.

I’m sitting here in my driveway in my Tesla Roadster after it autonomously drove me from Boston back home to NYC. My robot servants are folding the laundry I agree, totally not far fetched

It depends on the solution. If AI is generating value, you can charge for the value. Most SaaS already works this way. M365 or Adobe Creative Cloud are great examples. They value it like a life insurance policy and find ways to make you sti

Absolutely. My uncle got taken by an “investment club” supposedly endorsed by Warren Buffet and run day to day by some real financial person. All communications were via WhatsApp. They started with real stock tips (which were pretty good ac
