I still need to use Chrome for YouTube when I'm on my Windows 11 desktop unfortunately. YouTube in FF causes weird issues with my monitor turning on and off after I've been watching YT for more than like 20 min. It gets into a sta

How does one get started on a toy OS? I don’t mean like concepts, but is there like a minimum viable OS .c file somewhere I can look at, with instructions for how to run it on “bare metal”? I assume I need a bootloader of some kind first? I

Alcohol and sugary foods are also engineered to keep people addicted and mess with their mental and physical states and are completely legal and not frowned upon. Agree on the performative nonsense part though.

It sounds like they're all (government officials) just trying to keep their obsolete jobs alive by clinging to old methods of doing things under the guise of it being more reliable. Dozens of people don't need to service a few cus

I vaguely recall Nginx being taken over (maybe just founders arrested?) by Russian officials at some point? Is Nginx open source enough where the community would notice any shenanigans Russia might do to compromise the integrity of Nginx? N

Now they should add the option for viewers to opt in to this and the streamer can give them channel points (or whatever) every time the viewer drinks a mtn dew can in front of their camera (verified by the AI)! The AI will also randomly o

I like the idea of starting players off in massive debt. Any money they get they have to choose between spending it on their characters (new gear or whatever) vs paying down debt. If they spend it on themselves, they'll be in short ter

The people willing to pay for this have more expendable income, and are more likely to take out their CCs and pay for something online. Ad-driven services like fb/insta will make more money from this demographic, and so their revenue &

There was an article a while ago about how it costs OpenAI around $700,000 per day to operate. Could be north of $1M / day now.

I'm not saying he'll do this, but theoretically he could just pay them out of pocket. The banks only hold around $13B in Twitter debt and Musk owns ~$170B of tesla stock with around 42% of that available for him to access immediat

It is great as long as they are actually sticking to short dated US t-bills. They've just been super sketchy about if they are or are not in the past. Personally I think they're fine. The absolute worst case there's a run a

Don’t most home internet packages specifically forbid running home servers? They don’t seem to enforce it anecdotally, but annoying that they could technically shut you down at any moment with no notice unless you buy a business plan. I’m i

I would guess most people expect those numbers to be heavily inflated and mentally adjust expectations. If a company hits their "expected" numbers like this, as an investor, I'd consider my expectations shattered.

You can roll losses forward for 3 years I think. So they could not pay any taxes for the next 3 years depending on how much they make in profit. It is why Amazon wasn’t paying any taxes for a few years after they decided to start taking pro
