The current administration is fully embracing crypto - the Trump family is reaping significant benefits. Hence, all the banks are getting into all the action as well. It's grift time baby!

I am in my late 40s. I went through my own journey. This is not the first generation to do this. The difference being, they did it in private. Not post every thought and idea as if they've figured out the meaning of life. And I disagre

Vibe code is gamified software engineering, similar to what Robinhood did with stock investing - gamified it with zero trades, instant feedback, and a fancy UI.

Amazon is in the business of providing picks and shovels for LLMs. Why should they need to develop their own models?

Instagram has killer ad targeting; no wonder all these direct-to-consumer brands flock there. FB not so much I agree.

Agree, I'm you now, but I feel I paid a huge price for that success - as an immigrant, I had no choice looking back. But after losing my dad a few months ago, I had an existential crisis, am slowly but surely limping back. Am glad you

Woz lives not too far from me and is a regular at the park I go to, walking his dogs. The first time I saw him, I wasn't sure if it was him, so asked a person nearby - he has a very distinctive look with his facial hair and smile. Sinc

This is becoming standard operating procedure for this administration - talk big investments with companies, trade and tariff deals with Japan,EU. All this is talk, aimed at pleasing the MAGA crowd. And they have learned that all that Trump

I think 90% of people did not ever care, this is not new. They pretended to care because it looked bad if they did not. But when you started talking seriously about effecting change ( in context to workplace situations), they would diplomat

It's hard for me to gain weight. But in my 30s, for a few months I was eating 3000 calories plus. My breakfast smoothie was about 800 calories - 2-3 scoops protein, a banana, almond butter. I gained about 5 pounds after 3 months. It wa

India still has a thriving repair and refurbishment culture, which was born more out of financial necessity than environmental concerns. I know someone who exports automobile tires from the US to India to be retreaded.

I spent a lot of time in the early 00s psytrance scene. Most parties were on ranches or in the middle of nowhere state land. We lugged generators and DJ equipment and the parties were a few hundred people. We camped out - it was a blast. It

I had a similar experience - The dermatologist that I used to see moved to a new city and I needed to see one urgently for eczema. Primarily, I needed an RX. For at least two months, no appointments were available with any derm in my networ

It's not just small towns—I live in San Jose, and I like blues and jazz. A few venues played live blues, and one closed during the pandemic. Even San Francisco does not have many venues, given how vibrant a city it once was. Previously

Over the years tried a bunch of brands, but I like Naked https://www.amazon.com/Less-Naked-Whey-Vanilla-Protein/dp/B0... No sugar, non-GMO and grass-fed. Tastes great.

I would pick someone like Moses - for all his corruption but who got things built to the current crop of politicians who are full of hot air and accomplish nothing. If it needs some greasing to get things going so be it.

The current LLMs are just good at parroting, and even that is sometimes unbelievably bad. We still have barely scratched the surface of how the brain truly works. I will start worrying about AGI when that is completely figured out.
