I suspect he wants the AR features (which require a camera). The no camera HUD is exactly what I want, except I also want SSH (Mosh) and sending text to speech to it before I'd buy these.

Pretty sure this is a performance, but that was a nice touch wasn't it?

I wish. Look up "coal rolling".

You're not wrong, but it simply isn't politically viable, which has been illustrated quite obviously by now. The "use less" strategy is a complete (and predictable) failure.

The issue for me is the data privacy if you're using their hosted prices, because you cannot opt out of data collection (and I'm not sure how you'd legally follow up on it if they did offer it, but didn't actually follow

I think there is now so much passive investing that wall street and tech bros are gaming it, and it's no longer based in reality (fundamentals). I mean Elon's deal to get SPCX short listed with NASDAQ was directly targeted at 401(

Yes, it's a very simple concept IMO. Without API access or at least CSV import / export integration w/ a brokerage for automation I don't think I'd use it. I could have an agent use the Web UI on my behalf, but ho

Yeah I couldn't figure that out with Questrade (Canada). It's a pretty new feature, but I think it's great, so I hope they expand their baseline indexes. I was considering writing a tool that simply follows any index you choo

I was able to create a custom index based on the top 500 that I stripped the big AI stocks from (shovels too). Then I added decent chunks of international, small cap, and treasury ETFs to it. I have no illusions that I can time a bubble, bu

pnpm is generally safer and had the age delay much sooner than npm as well.

The entire Google Workspace division is basically Microsoft. I assume they are making a lot of money in order to support their continued disfunction.

The way I frame it is like the space race (except probably more consequential). China is collaborating with and encouraging their industry, definitely leaning into the state sponsored NASA route, while the United States fully embraced minti

Yeah I found 4.7 and 4.8 to be downgrades from 4.6. I don't know if it was the model or just Anthropic's scaling issues though TBH. I found working with the Claude Code max (20x) sub would work awesome in between new models. A wee
