I’m interested in oxide, but I feel like you could level the same criticism. The startup cost of using azure or aws is almost nothing. The cost to use oxide is 6 figures?

I feel like they need to run a public cloud just to let people tinker with lightweight stuff and scale up to owning the thing.

That said, I’m also a moron about certain things, and this might be a moronic take.

That's why I use a belt and suspenders to pick them up.

Thank you for this, it’s basically what I’m leaning towards.

I wonder how long a full synthetic could run in an engine that, for whatever reason, doesn’t push oil hard. 20k miles?

Honestly I wish there was a good way to burn wood in an insert to heat the water that goes through my radiators, to offset an electric system. We tend to get a lot of weeks in the 20 or 30’s where a decent air to water system might do fine, but it would be amazing to burn wood for a few days when it sits at 0.

A friend of mine just got a generac generator, fully installed it was 17k. Pretty steep, not to mention the gas bill with any significant outage will be huge.

I appreciate the argument, but I can’t make my own natural gas. I was considering all electric with a backup wood burner insert in my chimney. I’ll probably end up with vehicle2home as a backup and solar panels, maybe not in that order. Natural gas is extremely good at generating heat, and I completely understand why people prefer it.

I take your point, but what you’re describing would have to cost thousands just in putting in underfloor pipes. It will never make financial sense to do it? Or am I misinterpreting your suggestion?

I live in Ohio in a 100 year old home with cast iron radiators and a natural gas boiler and a gas water heater. I’d love to move to electric but it feels like my only real option for keeping the cast iron is something like the Daikin Altherma 3 H HT. Does anyone more knowledgeable of this part of the industry know of any reasonable alternatives for electrifying old houses but keeping the radiators?

I think we’re on course to be in really rough shape by 2028. I hope it’s rough enough to spark genuine change in our politics.

I’d really love to know a ballpark price on a minimal install without wasting anyone’s time, have you guys ever discussed real numbers on the podcast? I listen occasionally but definitely haven’t heard every episode.

Do you think venture capital firms are made of money?

the letter but not the spirit, like Amish workers using batteries

Another 13 mini user chiming in. I’m 6’3, and think it’s ridiculous how big phones are. It reminds me of the automobile and tv industry though, where you’re sort of forced into buying something obnoxious if you want to get the better features.

It feels like something anthropic or OpenAI would pounce on for marketing clout

a pictures worth a thousand tokens

Is the mechanism through which CarPlay/Android Auto works locked down? Could a third party make a competing app for iOS or android that would connect to cars and run on the screen? Or perhaps a special piece of hardware to hook in to older cars?

Michael Mann movies tend to get this right, Heat and collateral have really decent gun sounds. Turns out they are very loud.

Edit: just noticed you mentioned heat already, I need more coffee…

I’m currently punishing Fable by making it watch the entire series of 7th Heaven.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes

SQL in SQL has never occurred to me.

I’ve bought a bunch of movies on appletv, and I think about how angry this would make me, but I’ve never looked into a decent backup solution. I’m not sure if the drm has ever been broken really, but I’d imagine some device could pretend to be an hdmi tv. Anyone ever backup their atv stuff?

You're completely wrong here, they make sure the check clears.

It’s ridiculous get your money back

I’ve always wondered a bit about the ssr side of these things a bit. Something like time crisis where the main video is pre-rendered and streamed but the interactive elements (enemies, explosions) are superimposed in front on the client. Feels like you could make a very low bandwidth experience (around the same cost as a YouTube video plus some assets?).

It’s always interesting when people who excel at an activity express regrets about certain decisions. I find it reassuring that being great at something doesn’t mean flawless.

You probably don’t need the word science in the headline.

So… chips and cheese?

They want you to drink your rich chocolate email.

They just mean you catch incorrect joins more easily because there is usually no overlap in keys between unrelated tables. Using int, you’re usually going to have some shared values between two unrelated tables.
