I ~never liked kids. I debated having them, then kind of settled on it (was planned). I expected to be be present but... aloof? Like my dad was.

Instead, I have buddies. I wouldn't call it unhealthy, just much more invested than I expected to be.

I had no idea I would turn into a helicopter. it's kind of crazy how it rewires you.

my youngest is 8, and it still physically hurt to read the intro.

> no company will justify spending $20k/month when they can hire 10 more developers instead.

one big enough to license the model and self host on existing infra.

Huh. This surprises me. Digging, it seems it looks like it comes down to interpreted + dynamically typed vs compiled and statically typed.

TIL. If i were to start a truly vibe project; Go would have a significant leg up.

same. My first real exposure to coding was hacking Drug Wars on my brothers old ti-89 in math class.

didn't msft write an ~entire new file system specifically to scale git to the windows code base?

I have fuzzy memories on reading about it.

i assume they simply fixed the status page in 2018.. lol.

Does October 7th count?

I bought my LR Model 3 in 2020 for ~42,000, ~15k cheaper than a v6 3 Series at the time. A v6 5 series is another significant jump up in price/market.

> Not sure which car you compare it to specifically from those manufacturers

My comparison at the time was a Honda Civic, BMW 3 Series, and that was kind of it.

I generally consider the Model 3 interior roughly middle between the Honda and the BMW, while having worlds better tech, twice the hp, and - Electric (when they were still rare).

There really was nothing like it at any price point at the time, and i still consider it a great car (though of course not perfect).

> Why did Tesla work initially?

Becaues they were ~first to market - and honestly, as a tesla driver for the last 6 years - It's the best car I ever owned (including Toyota, Mazda, and domestics).

6 years ago, for the effective price of a Honda Accord, I was able to get a car with excellent AWD for NorEast winters, perfect weight distribution (previously drove a Miata for comparison), could beat ~95% 'super cars' in a straight line, and it got 140MPG.

6 years ago. And I've had 0 maintenance outside of tire / air filter changes since. There was nothing anything remotely like it on the market, and it still holds up today. That's incredibly compelling.

Then PedoDiver, and it's been downhill from there... I'll likely get an R3X when it comes out.

humans are naturally slimy. Anything you touch for 8h/day will be slimy in turn. Some of us are slimier than others.

> Would the world be safer (or more endangered) if Iran had a nuclear weapon

Is there any chance this invasion has ~anything to do with Iran having nuclear weapons?

> (ive got a thinpad and the platic build is just terrible. The screen bends when pulling it to open the laptop).

Which thinkpad? Typing on a loaded P16s currently; it's not metal like old MBP or even my travel surface pro, but it feels... fine.

yea... I would consider it a ux regression to do the OPs tweaks.

To each their own; glad it's an option :)

NeoVim w/ render-markdown.nvim

(not to poo on OP - I dig a clean TUI renderer, I have BAT installed for a reason)

I used opencode happily for a while before switching to copilot cli. Been a minute , but I don't detect a major quality difference since they added Plan mode. Seems pretty solid, and first party if that matters to your org.

This just reads like Elon trying to leverage the AI bubble to prop up SpaceX stock to me.

I mean, Hallucinations are 95% better now than the first time I heard the term and experienced them in this context. To claim otherwise is simply shifting goalposts. No one is saying it's perfect or will be perfect, just that there has been steady progression and likely will continue to be for the foreseeable future.

I believe his argument is that now that you've defined the limitation, it's a ceiling that will likely be cracked in the relatively near future.

I'd just do it over a Docker mount (or equivalent) to keep it a bit more lightweight. Can keep the LLM running local; and teach it how to test/debug via instruction files.

My wife and I work. We are blessed that we make enough that we buy ~anything reasonable we want, have 2 kids in private school, and max out our 401k/roths/backdoor every year.

What is the value in detailed tracking of personal finance? We audit ~every credit card bill when it comes in for oddities, but don't really pay attention where everything goes as long as more comes in than goes out.

TBF; the infamous MS report 'Working with AI: Measuring the Occupational Implications of Generative AI' had Teacher/Professor pretty high up there.

> Normally an old, used CPU for a dead platform will go for a small fraction the MSRP.

True in general- used CPUs from discontinued platforms sell for a small fraction of the original MSRP.

Buuuut, the final flagship part on nearly every platform is an exception to this rule. They are generally sought after as the definitive 'End Game Upgrade' because they provide users with the simplest, most cost-effective performance boost—a single component swap—bypassing the need for a costly migration to a successor platform (which requires new RAM and a new motherboard).

It tends to happen every generation swap, 5800X3D is just the latest.

was github ever ~not kinda buggy?

> That said, unless fixing a bug requires a significant refactor/rewrite, I can’t imagine spending more than a day on one.

oh sweet sweet summer child...

I'm down to ~10m of battery life on my i7 11" - any pointers on battery replacement? Laptop worked great otherwwise (retired it last year due to battery life)

Learn Ansible or similar, and you you can be ~OS (OSX/Linux/even Windows) agnostic with relatively complex setups. I set mine up before Agentic systems were as good as they are now; but I assume it would be relatively effortless now.

IMO, it's worth spending some time to clean up your setup for smooth transition to new machines in the future.

Because 'sometimes' doesn't mean you should needlessly handcuf yourself the other 80% of the time.

I personally haves an ansible playbook to ~setup all my commonly used tooling on ~any cli I will use significantly; (almost) all local installs to avoid need for root. It runs in ~minute - and I have all the Niceties. If it's not worth spending that minute to run; then i won't be on the machine long enough for it to matter.

seems like an easy fix in a month with a new TLD though.
