“Tesla will self insure” Wow. After all the enshittification he’s adding self-insurance to the steaming pile? Who on earth is still buying shares in this madness and why?

I wonder why Apple haven’t looked at something like a branded and seamless p2p inference option for customers that have other Apple gear? Pretty sure there are a few open source options that do this now. vLLM and LocalAI.io

I read your comment to my partner who pointed out that what your Skyrim character was doing was exactly what the billionaires do - treat us all as NPC’s whose stories don’t matter. I’m glad you had your epiphany.

A lot of people might think $20B is a lot to pay. But search (and “other”) account for over half (>$200B) the of Alphabet’s total revenue from all sources. It’s still a bargain when you consider how few people bother to (or are even awar

“Improbable paths to improbable destinations.” As someone that’s recently turned 60, your last paragraph resonates intensely. I am so, so far from the life I predicted for myself at age 25.

Why does parent need to propose anything? Perhaps, in the absence of any external authoritative instructions to the contrary, our purpose is for each of us to discover our own purpose and realise it. Why should parent (or anyone else) have

Which is interesting. What if they had proof of US AI companies paying them (AA) for sourcing “high quality collections we don’t have yet”? Procurement of an illegal act is an illegal act. Might this be enough to garner some legal cover fro

Exactly. What most humans value highly (though not always highest) is being treated with dignity.

Lol. I was 14 when I took a long distance international flight on a 747 in 1979. The family was sitting in the “non-smoking section”. I can tell you for a fact that the air quality in that plane was terrible. Possibly because a number of pa

If you look at figure 1 on this CDC page (which looks at deaths rather than overall usage), I’d suggest the numbers are trending the exact opposite to what “winning” the war on drugs would look like. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs

My recollection may be hazy, but wasn’t most of that drop in value due to investors freaking out that this guy self-evidently had no plan at all and tried to get out of it (and shit-talking it all the way) before his purchase was enforced?
