If your definition of “making money” is turning bitcoins into USD at bitcoins low point, and then paying that back to them in 2 years, alright. You can have whatever opinion you want about the bankruptcy process, but FTX was most certainly

Stage 21 was a great example of how tactics can beat a stronger rider. Pogacar was probably the strongest but Matteo burned up his energy chasing attacks in the final lap and then at the right moment WvA was ready to pounce and take the sta

The investors invested on a previous idea. The fact that the other founders are deciding to pivot is just a luxury of the fact that the company has inertia, not value, which is why they are switching ideas. Our OP doesn’t want to work on th

The issue has nothing to do with whether he worked hard, it has to do with the fact that the work the company did ended up being not very valuable, so much so that the company is doing something completely different. Ultimately he created v

If you rely on ‘cgi’ in your Python application, you are probably fine using 3.12 until mid-2028 when it stops being maintained (and probably beyond). You guys are all really getting worked up over very little.

In my codebase in my proprietary project, it’s possible that LLMs write around half the code, but that’s just because a lot of the trivial parts of the project are quite verbose. The really difficult and valuable parts of the codebase are v

Pretty funny that a blog post talking about complex and innovative ways to help investigate malware has a block of the lowest quality, scummiest ads that probably lead to malware.

Just to provide a contrast to some of the negative comments… As a very experienced engineer who uses LLMs sporadically* and not in any systematic way, I really appreciated seeing how you use them in production in a real project. I don’t kno

This chair is made from pressure treated wood. Technically speaking, it is safe to sit on, but personally I'd like to avoid those chemicals against my skin if I could. Regular lumber probably would be preferable, especially when it wou

The number of people who use state and federal parks in a given year is roughly equal to the number of people who fly. It’s definitely a few notches above “very few”.

It is very funny that the article highlights these two guys saving Digg, and they both care so deeply about it that they are going to... sit on the board and keep their day jobs. They won't go all-in on the idea and expect that we&#x27

I don’t remember the exact amount but after I filed my taxes last year I got a refund from the IRS for under 1 dollar because I had mistakenly put a small typo while entering a 1099 and they automatically corrected my return and sent me a f

Scrutinizing is one thing, spreading deliberate misinformation is another. Think about the asymmetry here — if there were a single fact wrong on that page Newsom released, he would be criticized and castigated and he’d have to correct it an

It’s very sad that otherwise unrelated parties are incentivized to spread misinformation as part of some broader political strategy with no concern for the truth or livelihood of their fellow citizens.

So your argument is that the good things about the state have nothing to do with the governance, but all the bad things do? Just want to make sure I get your point. Also, I'd argue that if you broke down the contributions to the state&

It's a huge exaggeration. My Supermax 19-38 has helped me produce cutting boards larger than any normal person would want and it's a 120v machine. It does require dust collection but so does a table saw, planer and jointer, which

Once you have a drum sander the amount of hand sanding for cutting boards goes way, way down.

The main advantage of being an early employee is that you can leave. Founders generally need to go down with the ship, early employees do not. If the growth trajectory starts to falter after 1.5-3 years, just get out of there and try anothe

The good news is that electric car charging will be mostly done whenever power is cheapest and demand is lowest so it should be the easiest possible extra demand for the grid to support.

One of those people died of a gunshot wound, so whether it was self-inflicted or not, their age and health and any related statistics have nothing to do with the death.

I also stopped there for the afternoon on a train between Florence and Cinque Terra. Was super convenient. Standing under the leaning tower I legitimately felt like it was going to fall on me. It's a one of a kind experience. Well wort

It’s funny that this is getting downvoted when it is true. It is more complicated though, the bankruptcy lawyers had to come up with some system to pay people back, and if not for the huge run up in crypto prices, which happened mainly af

The guy in the OP paid somebody $100k to beat him a debate using a self-defined empirical system, which somebody did, and the original guy now believes the lab leak theory even more. Honestly I think I’d prefer if it were a lab leak, since

There is more than enough evidence now to make a strong conclusion, as the OP shows. When the people were caught lying, only like 5% of the eventual information was known. It’s bad for their personal reputations that they were caught lying

I do always find this funny as a major support for the lab leak theory. At that time there wasn’t any of the genetic lineage information that we have now which is the strongest evidence for zoonotic origin. Why does anybody’s public or priv

I’ve watched many reviews of the cybertruck, including people that have driven thousands of miles with it, and I’ve not heard a single one of them complain about the steering or lag. So my guess is this tweet with one short video and no add
