The crazy thing about Sam Altman is that he's basically a deal maker; does it remind you of anyone currently in power? No substance, no skill, just wheeling dealing, constantly saving his own neck from things that really should have en

TLDR; this is an alibaba funded start-up out of Beijing Okay, I'm sorry but I have to say wtf named this thing. Moonshot AI is such an overused generic name that I had to ask an LLM which company this is. This is just Alibaba hedging t

We should probably enact harsher laws on drug smugglers / narco traffickers. A lot of asian countries have essentially declared the death penalty to drug importers. The administration wants to see results and it would seem that the pro

I think its an interesting conundrum because you're right it is the same as what you said! They don't tell us the due diligence they do, but we would hope that our bureaucracy is careful about who they target and carefully thinks

Pretty sure I get re-targeted by ads for various versions of this for weeks on end after I do a single google search for a new toothpaste. Usually the safety profiles of those companies are very very very bad, but probably reference very go

My professor in college said he designed grain silo software control algos to prevent mold but maximize water retention (weight) in corn. Apparently when you're in the bulk business, selling water is a good business, but if you lose x%

Yeah - it's basically like the days when everyone added "Deep" to their name to get an extra 0 on their valuation. What do you do? Oh we do DeepCoffee brewing. It's a coffee machine powered by Deep Learning to brew the p

"There’s a reason we’re not seeing a “Startup Boom” AI skeptics ask, “If AI is so good, why don’t we see a lot of new startups?” Ask any founder. Coding isn’t even close to the most challenging part of creating a startup." -- uhhh

It's a real research paper, but a bit of a hokey one. The spam blog is just promoting it. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40516525/

The internet says 100W idle, so maybe more like $40-50 electricity, depending on where you live could be cheaper could be more expensive. Makes me wonder if I should unplug more stuff when on vacation.

It looks more like C++ or C now. Never really became a java programmer. Hopefully never will have to.

Did you DIY? Our installer basically only put panels on the sunniest sides of our home. I'm surprised you went with panels on all sides.

You might want to start playing factorio ;-) The answer is yes: it is a lot easier to make a PV farm than a home scale install!

That would be slick. Perhaps the problem is it would get hot, and possibly burn?

To be fair, Apple Watch battery life is atrocious compared to competing models. Their marketing and ecosystem is better.

First of all, shocked people still use d3. Hasn't there been something better? It's pretty ancient by javascript standards. Do people still use jquery too? Haha... been about a decade since I touched this stuff! Second of all, isn

I talked to GPT yesterday about a fairly simple problem I'm having with my fridge, and it gave me the most ridiculous / wrong answers. It new the spec, but was convinced the components were different (single compressor, for exampl

This is fascinating! I’ve never played a YC seriously, but I have played several Yamahas and currently play on a Kawai and Baldwin. I’ve often wondered if the Baldwin or Yamaha is laid out slightly differently than the Kawai because I feel

Generally speaking fumbling on a piano doesn’t bode well for performance… it’s a little bit like Olympic gymnastics, you only get one chance to stick the landing!

Staple yes. Didn't really think of it as healthy, but you're right didn't think of it as unhealthy. We did make our own jam growing up though, so ... there's that? Either way, I'm way more conscious now as a nutrien

Interesting; America seems to be suffering the same fate. It takes municipalities years to fix highways. The main highway running through Silicon Valley, 101, has been under construction for more than a decade and is in dire need of improve

Jony Ive might be a genius, we've yet to see. Tim Cook couldn't get along with him anymore, he didn't respect him the way Jobs made him stand at attention. Can Altman inspire him? Somehow I doubt it, the guy has never built a

I think most Americans do not understand what is a healthy food and would think of a "balanced" meal of carbs, protein and fat, with fat being bad circa the 1960s line of thinking. "I think most people know what’s considered

Yeah, I thought he was talking about 1 out of 20 features, but that's kind of why I was wondering if AI had written it. Sometimes it'll have mis-aligned figures etc.
