3D printers have made so much progress in the last 1-2 years that rarely are second-hand printers a good deal unless you just get really lucky finding someone unloading a new model they just didn't use. And even then, you probably won&

If you are burned out on AI, web, and SaaS, there's never been a better or more exciting time to get into using 3D printing, other types of home manufacturing, and embedded electronics to build real, physical devices. Hardware is no lo

I'm a big fan of Bleak House. The opening chapter is one if my favorite bits of Dickens. But it is a silly selection to expect a random undergrad from a state school in middle America to be able to fully parse on command unless they ha

I think it means literally nothing for start-ups. It's just a slightly better than expected economic result for one quarter. As a founder, my experience is that the US is a much easier place to raise capital than the UK or Europe. But

While this is a nice bit of news that is "technically correct," the headline makes it sound like a much bigger deal than it is. One quarter doesn't mean the UK is suddenly taking over the G7. In Q1, the UK grew at 0.7%, which

I don't think that open-world design is that big of a factor anymore in the direction of modern games. It feels like that trend peaked 5-10 years ago with Ubisoft. It's been replaced by much more insidious trends. As an old person

As a co-founder at a company, I get more outbound sales spam than you can imagine. I just checked my spam folder and I get at least 30-50 "personal" sales outreaches a day. So many of them are obvious AI to anyone who has used LLM

Over the past 5 years, there have been many startups that are variations of "AI can now automate interacting with companies that don't want to interact with you." This is common in healthcare, FinTech, consumer shopping, etc.

Nah, it has nothing like the influence it had 10-15 years ago (at least in my opinion as a start-up founder and old guy). VCs still seem to track CrunchBase, but that is a separate company.

I got lots of substack spam, but I assume it is the individual substack authors signing me up manually from a list. But something in substack's design definitely doesn't seem to prevent or discourage this too much, so I'm not

For designing new models to 3D print, you have several open-source options. But all of them come with pretty big caveats: - FreeCAD: The closest to a real OSS parametric CAD package for making functional parts. But it is a very frustrating

This is a very instructive story of how much the media landscape has fundamentally changed in the past 15 years due to the explosion in content, the lower costs of production, and the change in audience tastes. It used to be that people mad

Say a US citizen buys a house in the UK and takes out a £400,000 mortgage to pay for it and at the time, £400,000=$500,000 USD. Now 3 years later, they want to refinance the £400k mortgage they owe with a different lender but the currency e

Eurostar is definitely a different type of service than the others, but I think we can all agree that Eurostar is still highly priced for what it provides. Fares from London to Paris are almost always higher on Eurostar vs flying. And this

One of the reasons that Google Search is falling apart is that it is filled with this kind of stolen, AI-generated content. This post is just a 100% stolen AI summary of a popular YouTuber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS

It's funny now divisive Lang Lang is with classical people. The Reddit classical threads are full of people outraged that they had him play this and declare him the worst possible person in the world to debut a Chopin piece.

Not disagreeing with you that many heavy PS5 games rely on dynamic resolution to hit a good frame rate. And for some people, that's enough reason to upgrade. They want they best available no matter what. But my point is that a holding

I'm sure this will sell just fine, but in the history of consoles there has never been less incentive to upgrade. It just doesn't feel like the upgrade delivers anything tangible for the average person. Many games I want to play t

I don't know. I didn't really have that problem very often. Most of my playlists never had any issues. Maybe it depends on the genre / record companies you most often listen to? No idea.

What do you mean? The UK and Germany have very similar EV adoption (~24% of car sales in 2023).
