My opinion is that unless there is some insane breakthrough in power efficiency with video generation, or if energy costs go down to zero, there is no way such a thing actually becomes profitable at the scale of scrolling TikTok. It is far

It has changed quite a bit here in the US too, even among the Jewish population. Our synagogue is very divided on this, mainly between the young and the old.

Also a paying YT Premium subscriber. I live in a rural part of CA where there isn't much 5G reception. For extremely long drives in my minivan, I allow my toddler to watch Ms. Rachel on the screen via an HDMI port input from my iPhone.

I think rebranding happens so often because we are all out of lucrative ideas. It's just another tool in the "maybe this will work" pile of things that corporations do. We have yet to see how AI will actually meaningfully cha

I buy them often. I haven’t noticed a huge difference between the two and enough time has passed that I have forgotten what the original tastes like.

I'll bite: Silicon Valley isn't known for good infrastructure, we are just able to roll back changes very easily. The cost of getting software wrong for BART is far higher than if my div is padded incorrectly.

I have never, ever seen SVPs, CEOs, and PMs completely misunderstand a technology before. And I agree with you, I think it's more of an excuse to trim fat--actual productivity is unlikely to go up (it hasn't at our Fortune 500 com

Not only that, but the requirements are far more lax when it's your own project. In an enterprise setting on a 14-year old codebase (where this 80%-reduced-timeframe project lies), vibe coding doesn't work at all! PMs and managers

These claims wouldn't matter if the topic weren't so deadly serious. Tech leaders everywhere are buying into the FOMO, convinced their competitors are getting massive gains they're missing out on. This drives them to rebrand

At least for now, until VPNs become illegal, I haven't worried too much about _all_ my linux ISOs being backed up.

I have a similar setup (a dell wyse 5070 connected to an 8 bay enclosure) though I do not use RAID, I simply have some simple rsync script between a few of a drives. I collect old 1-2TB hard drives as cold storage and leave them on a booksh

As someone who tries to push the limits of hard coding tasks (mainly refactoring old codebases) to LLMs with not much improvement since the last round of models, I'm finding that we are hitting the reduction of rate of improvement on t

When I lived in downtown Oakland CA, Comcast literally could not keep up price-wise with the competition. Their customer service jaw would drop when I told them our local fiber offered a flat fee cheaper than theirs for 10 gigabit symmetric

All those things are true, but it's such a small part of my workflow at this point that the savings, while nice, aren't nearly as life-changing to my job as my CEO is forcing us to think it is. Once AI can actually untangle our 14

Sadly I think AI is going to push that further out if we ever get to that point.

If the market was actually rational the stock would have tanked already. The small number of people who hold the most stock have every incentive to keep the price high.

Quite a few exist, there are just so many more of them, and most of them aren't making the top of the billboard charts. Sufjan Stevens comes into mind for me as a songwriting workhorse with a wide array of styles but with a central the

The main thing LLMs have helped me with, and always comes back to, tasks that require bootstrapping / Googling: 1) Starting simple codebases 2) Googling syntax 3) Writing bash scripts that utilize Unix commands whose arguments I have n

Do you have any developer retrospectives around this? Plenty of my favorite games ever made were made with Unity, I wouldn't call those games failures by any means (Cities: Skylines, Overcooked are immediate examples)

I agree about 4k vs non-4k. I will say going OLED was a huge upgrade, even for SDR content. HDR content is hit-or-miss...I find some of it is tastefully done but in many cases is overdone. My own movie collection is mostly 2-4GB SDR 1080p f

Plex is kind of a victim of its own success. Its best bet is that it's an easier / more feature-rich solution than the alternatives (Jellyfin). I am a Plex Pass subscriber so my family and friends should be unaffected by this chan
