   This tracks my usage exactly. It was like Mad Libs - in that moment it was THE MOST FUN but after a while it became just a novelty bordering on... creepy. Now I feel kind of guilty for having exposed so many friends to what looks like a dat

   The struggle to "compete with China" on price is not new. Tesla's failings have everything to do with it's failures in execution, quality and brand image. Apple does quite well in China.

    Surplus is a good thing right? Long term stability, responsible financial management, healthy margins? If they said one year "You know what? We're good on donations this year." it would never be restarted.

    What's the operating budget for other websites with comparable traffic? Without context $185 million seems like a lot , but compared to what? Reddit's operating budget for the same timeframe was $1.86 billion.

    While I agree overall, I'm going to do some mild pushback here: I'm working on a "vibe" coded project right now. I'm about 2 months in (not a weekend), and I've "thought about" the project more than

    So are Elon, JPMorgan Chase and IBM "anti-education"? From the article you linked: “I think the value of a college education is somewhat overweighted,” Musk said in a video he later reposted on X. “Too many people spend four years

    The branding is... weird. I always thoughts it was just a campaigning tactic for Mark's upcoming presidential bid but given how things have played out, now I'm not so sure.

    I was curious so I looked it up. Your description of the events isn't quite accurate IMHO. There was an objection to a Meta datacenter, but then state lawmakers passed new laws after losing the business to NM. It doesn't look l

    When I heard "AI DJ" I got excited for beat matching/mixing. But this is really just a "Discover Mix" with an annoying AI voice to interrupt. Not sure why they felt it necessary to replicate the most annoying part

    Claude Code recommended a Telegram bot over email for this very workflow. I've configured my basement RPi to use my "spare tokens" during off hours. At 5PM it messages me to ask if I want the agent to work this evening. If
