The median home age ranges from 26 to 63 depending on state, and 100 amp service was common into the 90s. 100A service is probably more common than you think, I'd bet we teeter around them being equally common. My home still has 100 a

That doesn’t super shock me. They claim to have sent over $150M to creators in 2017, which is probably several million transactions. I think they do video and image hosting as well, not sure. It’s probably way more now but that’s the most r

The distills are almost certainly bad for the US economy. AIs promise is undercutting knowledge work, which is our primary export. Manufacturing left ages ago. In theory, if OpenAI/Anthropic win then the US still wins since they’re hea

I don’t even have to try to address whether models or conscious or not to point out the absurdity. 8.3% of US households had low food security at some point in 2024 (read: had to resort to less varied diets like rice and beans, or visit a f

I'm doubtful they can, based on current inference prices. An H100 draws about 50W while idling, which is ~$8/month at average US electricity prices. They also draw ~400W while active. The electricity prices are relevant because

Land is finite but not meaningfully so at this point. If my early morning napkin math is right, we could give every person on earth about 6.4 acres of land. Land where people want to live is scarce. Obviously a variety of factors but one of

For big commercial rental properties they probably don’t care because it doesn’t really push the property value. I don’t think it really changes the property value because those interior walls are usually cosmetic and not load bearing. If t

Oh, I also don’t think I’ve ever seen that but I’m not surprised. Even if you could steal a huge amount of storage, filling it with data would take ages and the cat and mouse game of moving the data as hacks get uncovered would be untenable

YMMV but I wouldn’t personally reach for either. They’re both out of band so you have to deal with pulling input back into the context and what to do if one side won’t communicate right. File edits are just tool calls under the hood. If you

Huh, that is odd. Working backwards, that would be ~ $0.40 originally. Wonder if that’s also flat out wrong or if they’re doing some kind of currency handling that breaks when you start dealing with huge multipliers.

Storage-based billing is huge, unless you mean something other than “places that make you pay for storage separately”. Also many places I’ve worked, storage is a huge part of the spend but that depends a lot on what you do. e-commerce doesn

Yeah, this one is bad because it’s off by so much I’m shocked it wasn’t caught by tests, alerts about unusual changes in the billing system, or even accounting. Like surely the P&L reports look all kinds of wrong right now, they have to

You can drive agents via ACP these days, which I think is the layer you would want for what you’re talking about. The API is basically what you see as a user of Claude Code or Pi or whatever. You can make new sessions, send messages to sess

ACP support would be a big deal and would make this a real contender for me. It looks super nice, but the idea of re-writing my Pi plugins is a real blocker. I’m generally happy with my agent and want to keep that, but I do think the UI cou

It seems hard to cure because a lot of this is stuff that just probably shouldn’t be done. Ie the structure of the products veers so close to anti-competitive practices that it’s just untenable in the face of regulatory enforcement. Google
