I just looked and both PA and NJ, have way below natl average car accident deaths per 100K drivers, even if death in over speeding seems to be a a significant contributing factor to overall rates. Interesting to me. I wonder what are they d

The irony is that I’d totally test out replacing the CEO with AI - best bang for buck by a million miles

How much of the total pie of resources consumed is ‘solving math models’, really?

by dlev_pika 3mo ago

This is kinda what’s been happening for a while - Wages are decoupled from consumption, and it is increasingly aggregated in the higher income brackets. This is the ‘K’ economy. https://www.dallasfed.org/research/econom

Apple’s play was a masterclass - unsure how deliberate it was, or how much of a choice thy actually had, but it’s turning out pretty well IMO. Now if they can further reinforce their angle on Privacy, they might continue to be what they are

Possible in some cases, triaging and wait times are a thing in other places too, with the difference being that you don’t get a bill at the end. I have multiple anecdotes from people outside the US having little trouble getting primary care

What does your CapCut thing do? Somewhat related - I wish there was some local thing I could give my 100 holiday videos and it made something fun with the highlights to a specified duration.

Yeah, I hear you - and sometimes, when you get it to do what you want, some system update will force a reindex and you are back to square one. On the bright side, there are a few power scripts that allow a much more custom experience (parti

The (shitty) logic here is that you don’t ‘own’ the OS, but merely rent it, so “deal with it”

Love it! I have been dj’ing for ~20 years, and have a sizeable house music vinyl collection. I can’t wait for my kiddo to get into it. She’s showing interest already.
