- lr1970The biggest red flag for me is the author hiding their name. If you wrote quality book about a programming language you are not hiding your identity from the world.
- One of the best movies about history of Apple and people involved is "Pirates Of Silicon Valley". Pretty accurate portrayal of Steve Jobs, Woz and the rest.
- Nice video, indeed. Towards the end of the video the last shot of the home screen says "April 1" -- nice Easter Egg for all us "fools".
- From "4 hour body" description on Amazon:
How to lose those last 5-10 pounds (or 100+ pounds) with odd combinations of food and safe chemical cocktails
• How to prevent fat gain while bingeing over the weekend or the holidays
• How to sleep 2 hours per day and feel fully rested
• How to produce 15-minute female orgasms
• How to triple testosterone and double sperm count • How to go from running 5 kilometers to 50 kilometers in 12 weeks
• How to reverse “permanent” injuries
• How to pay for a beach vacation with one hospital visit
After reading this description I put this book in the BS category.
- > There is only one or two lines of dialogue in the entire film.
Technically speaking with only one actor in the entire film there can be no dialog. These were couple of expletives. I love the movie -- it is so different.
- I think you made a arithmetic mistake by factor of 10.
2% of 29 trillion is 580 billions. Your number should be 610 billion, not 61 billion.
- > The vast majority of advertisers returned,
They returned in the first few months of the Trump administration when Elon was an important man in the government with direct access to POTUS. But after Musk fell from the Trump's good graces the same advertisers quickly took their marbles and quietly left twitter.
- > The issue is there is too little repercusions for companies making software in shitty ways.
The penalty should be massive enough to affect changes in the business model itself. If you do not store raw data it cannot be exfiltrated.
- > helsing - Hadn't heard of them, are German.
Helsing is a military AI company [0] trying to make Terminator I movie a reality in the name of democracy.
EDIT: added link.
- > The FBA terms I quoted specifically say that Amazon can co-mingle FBA inventory with their own (if the FBA seller doesn't opt out of "virtual tracking").
The wording in the quote explicitly states that an FBA unit can be substituted by owned by Amazon unit or other FBA units. But the wording is not clear whether SBA (Sold By Amazon) unit can be substituted by an FBA inventory. The terms covering Amazon's "first party inventory" (SBA, a.k.a. Amazon retail) are internal to Amazon and are not shared, AFAIK. But i can be wrong :-)
- Congestion pricing is only a half of the solution. The second half should be the MTA reform. MTA has been a dysfunctional mess and a bottomless money pit for as long as I remember. MTA of today will squander any amount of money you throw on it wasting all the potential gains from congestion pricing.
- It basically boils down to the dichotomy -- "live to work" or "work to live".
We want "work to be able to live" while the employers want us "live to be able to work".
- context window of both opus and sonnet 4 are still the same 200kt as with sonnet-3.7, underwhelming compared to both latest gimini and gpt-4.1 that are clocking at 1mt. For coding tasks context window size does matter.
- > and may help to fund their use of Llama models.
I love open weight (and better open source) LLMs and wish Llama all the best! But God help Meta if they have to pay startups to entice them to use their open weights model.
- > That being said, lua's lack of popularity probably stems from its limited stdlib, which often feels incomplete, and the absence of a robust package manager. luarocks is a pain to work with.
And indexing arrays starting from 1 rather than 0.
- > pound a couple 100 proof 100ml bottles, back to it. That job was more fun than stow.
WoW, you can hold your liquor :-)
- This technology of starting a diesel engine using a turbine driven by compressed air was used in Russian T-34 tank during the WWII. While Germans could not start the tanks in the cold of winter 1941 from the frozen batteries the Russians were using compressed air (hand-crank) to start T-34s just fine.
- bringing islands together requires one to synchronize both -- frequency and phase. It is super difficult for large generators and transmission lines. transient heat dissipation can be a real bummer.
- Had similar problem. Switching to fountain pens resolve it completely.
- > As a comparison, full time daycare in Sweden is $100/month for everyone.
Obviously $100/month covers a tiny fraction of the total cost of running a childcare service in Sweden. I am curious how much does state pays to cover the rest.
