Oh I know. Started tackling a couple things already, and it does make a difference. The two I really can’t do on my own that I absolutely would are replace the windows and put in solar.

I’ve lived in my rental for ~15 years now (rent control) - to be honest, if I’d known when I moved in how long I’d be here, I’d have paid for some upgrades. It’s not equity, but I do still live here.

I think there's something about both the myth of the unicorn and of the hero founder/CEO in tech that forces a push towards legibility and easy narratives for a company - it means that, to a greater degree than other industries, l

This article repeatedly cites revenue growth numbers as an indicator of Nvidia and Apple’s relative health, which is a very particular way of looking at things. By way of another one, Apple had $416Bn in revenue, which was a 6% increase fro

Yeah, that bit was pure snark - point was Intel’s gotten caught resting on their laurels a couple times when their architectures get a little long in the tooth, and often it’s existential enough that the team that pulls them out of it isn’t

Especially when your investors are still expecting exponential growth rates.

I am of the opinion that Nvidia's hit the wall with their current architecture in the same way that Intel has historically with its various architectures - their current generation's power and cooling requirements are requiring th

That’s true, but it’s still a distinct threat model from “we use the API of a company run by one of the least trustworthy humans on the planet.” We can talk through side channel attacks and whatnot, but we’re discussing issues with Confer’s

I’m not disagreeing with this necessarily, but I do think a lot of people underestimate the costs of actually doing on-prem to a professional standard. You’ll almost certainly have to hire a dedicated team to manage your hardware, and you’r

What's interesting about this post is that it would be completely unsurprising to most people in most parts of the world, as well as most people here 100 years ago. The discomfort so many people in this thread feel with receiving kindn

I picked up a binocular microscope a bit back and it’s one of my favorite nerd purchases - it’s 20x, which is enough to be interesting, but not enough to require a lot of sample prep, and the binocular setup gives you depth perception, so i

Yup, that was one of them. Chase botched transferring the bill pay over after spending 3 months saying they’d transfer bill pay and then told me over the phone they hadn’t said that while I was looking at the current page on their website t

We’ll find out, but it still sort of sticks in the craw to be stuck doing business with them again.

I’ve had the good fortune of working with actually good banks with actually good customer service, and Chase always sticks out for how indifferent they are. If you don’t need anything beyond the app, sure, they’re probably fine - although I

I used to have a Chase card, but decided I didn’t like dealing with them, so I closed the account. And then they bought my bank, and I had a Chase account again. I gave them a chance and they were still awful, so I switched banks. A couple

That’s correct. The point is that until now Iran has intentionally not built a nuke - they’ve kept themselves within range to make it a credible threat, but they’ve not completed the project because so far the tacit agreement has been tha

A friend noted that many people seem to be cosplaying their lives, and it’s hard not to see it once it’s pointed out.

Americans have remarkably short attention spans. In 5 years when Iran is widely acknowledged to have nuclear weapons, you’ll know what changed after Fordrow.

Yeah, I think that after 2024 neither political party is likely to run a woman for president for the next generation at a minimum, and I think the voters agree. (I don’t think that’s GOOD, mind you, but twice bitten)
