The problem here is you need a trustworthy government for nationalizing to make a difference. The current US admin started with DOGE and a crypto rug pull.

Waterfall means designing and building everything before rolling it out to users. Researching a problem before you start tackling it is just general good advice. You can be more effective while moving fast and breaking things while still ta

It's crazy it is resold but we don't even get it for our own use. Budgeting with credit card statements would instantly become so much more useful with less effort.

I don't think it's JUST Teslas, any car with its own cellular link is a total non starter for me after that Jeep article 10ish years ago. Give me a key fob, carplay for my music and maps, and that's all the smarts I need. Kee

Even Shingy called chatgpt "chat" when he went on Ed Zitron's show. It was very weird to hear from a guy who has been around tech world for such a long time even if he's non technical.

Been wishing my company was doing this. We are locked in with chatgpt for chat and claude for coding. I have a 36gb m4 max laptop but I'm not allowed to run anything on it even though it would be totally free. Absolute pain.

This is ridiculous. These guys need a body cam and GPS on them even for desk work.

Siri has a chatgpt link currently and is being connected to Gemini next month. What is the value of an extra piece of hardware on top of that?

I'm sorry but that is just not correct. Androids and iPhones both have a way to start chats with their ai assistant from a hardware button or even always-on listening. My airpods, sony, and even my cheapest amazon bluetooth headphones

This seems like a more expensive version of the rabbit or friend ai pins. What is going to differentiate this above any of (1) my phone that can use any AI provider and I can already carry around the home, (2) a set of smart speakers that c

Some of them are right next to housing. Huntington beach has wells adjoining homes near the beach. Look up the prices of the houses if you want to really go crazy

Does your garmin watch not charge? If you call them and are nice they'll probably give you a heavily discounted replacement. Mine died on me randomly and they gave me a new 900 series forerunner for $125

I worked at a startup that was briefly a unicorn and ended up burning cash because they did exactly what you said of focusing a lot on tooling and dev environment. It was great but way over the top for what we needed. I learned a lot of goo

I think our QAs do pay attention a bit more than that, but some of the things they do flag as issues show (to me) that they don't pay a lot of attention until after we've merged and released or we'd get some of their bugs as

I'm in legacy/finance right now and we have a QA team that we share with maybe 2 or 3 other dev teams. I think our integration testing systems could be a lot more efficient but I think if we had a proper pipeline that truly guaran

The average index fund may not even be the best idea anymore - look at how most of the index providers except S&P caved on including an enormous but barely-tested IPO that has now dropped almost 20% since it launched barely 45 days ago.

It's very fun as a process and it's cool to be surrounded by things you made. We're so disconnected with where things come from (food, clothes, etc) that for me and people I know it's interesting to be involved and see h

I wonder how much a good process of meetings, tickets or whatever sort of documents etc for handling new ideas and features would speed this up or bring it back to linear. I've been in some orgs where good organization at the level abo

There are corporations like Blackwater and CoreCivic that subcontract both of these for the US government today or Wagner (RIP) in Russia. The pinkertons and the US state have also both taken on the role of corporate muscle in the past when

I never got into the podcasts side but it was good for synthesizing multiple documents in a way chatgpt or google's ai overview couldn't, but now I will just dump a couple PDFs into a new chat in Ollama and then ask it questions a

Yeah I love my forerunner 945. Got it used in 2020 and when it died in 2023 Garmin replaced it for $150 including tax and shipping. Couple friends have got the new fancier touchscreen models but I like the simplicity of my watch. I blocked

Coming from legacy enterprise I am using claude to do exactly this for some of my team's more bizarre and poorly documented "inventions" that started out as their pet project and then became part of our official workflow.

Depending on where you are, there are nice middle class apartments that can be family friendly. I have friends not in tech in my same neighborhood with a three bedroom place for 1500. Granted this is the midwest and not SF but their place i

It looks like a lot of neighborhoods in American cities that are adjacent or outside the downtown business district or even suburbs on the commuter rail lines. A main commercial street surrounded by 1900-1950s houses and apartments, probabl

Surely the top way to avoid traffic congestion would be communities where it's possible to live near where you work, shop, go out, etc. and not doing everything else exactly the same but taking a slightly different highway in your car

Great note about how public transit gives us time back from the commute. When I moved to the city after college I first lived a 12 minute train ride from the office and tried reading but the trip was too short to make much new progress in m

True, it is pretty bad at getting right to what I want. A genuinely useful integration of AI would be to process and classify listings on upload so that I can have more filters on attributes of items for sale. I'm not holding my breath
