Is that a tongue in cheek reference to my inadvertently weird capitalization of wildcat as WildCat — no idea why I did that, maybe a throwback to my ThunderCats fandom of my youth. Maybe lack of capital is a factor, but doesn’t that only co

Is it similar to WildCat banking?

Isn’t this related to financial nihilism where normal people can’t invest or earn enough to grow money for basic life costs like housing and college with standard investments or jobs. They need a moonshot, hence gambling has become normaliz

I am ride or die Good Place; my family has the Trolley Problem party game. Don’t spoil it if you haven’t seen it. But honestly I feel the Darkest Timeline is more apt, ala Community.

A friend of mine from back home mentioned he hadn't heard anything about the White House UFC fight because he's solely focused on himself right now. Honestly, I think that’s becoming ubiquitous; all of us are navel-gazing and tryi

I agree the 1TB is a good deal. But our phones are Apple and our email is Google, so it’s all wonky sync via OneDrive (and when you have a lot of OneDrive the forced syncs to your windows login takes a lot of cache space). Wish there was an

Did Apple pay them to drop support to boost their revamped Numbers/Pages/Keynote suite (ClarisWorks Infitniy.0). Obviously this is a joke, though there was a period when Microsoft invested in Apple to serve as a stand-in foil for

I actually regularly used emdashes in my writing —- my kids complain I write like AI in fact — and now I have to consciously remove them. Likewise, I often used literary flourish and pleasantries like that above article about email decompre

I thought post Netflix the model had switched to “we’re a team, not a family” — like in MLB? https://variety.com/2017/digital/news/netflix-company-cultur...

Yeah saving statements is important but banks make it so hard to automate. 2FA for login, and statements have to be navigated to, sometimes time range set. My bank just sends a note that a statement is available, rather than an actual stat

Maybe I misread it but it’s like Apple Pay on a MacBook. You query 1Password to open in the Mac/PC and a prompt shows up on your phone and you auto with PIN/FaceID which then unlocks 1P on Mac/PC Microsoft Authenticator has a

I often hear on podcast such as this one giving career advice that folks should become AI native, and improve their AI skills. I’m not a software developer, so I am not using Claude Code or other frameworks — my office basically authorizes

Very on brand for our darkest timeline, if you excuse the mixed media metaphor.

The bantering of the podcast I found distracting and the breathless enthusiasm. I guess there was a way to make it more no nonsense? I found I lost content if tuned for brevity.

Oh I thought it was a very dodgy process. Can you give some pointers? I will also ask an LLM?

I don’t think I have ever spent over $100 on a Chromebook. I can’t imagine putting serious money in one; it’s a toy/disposable computer.

I really dislike the “expiration” date, and at one point they were very short (5 years) and poorly documented so it was a nasty surprise if you got an older model on sale.

I’m not in AI, but what is happening is that it is building output from the long tail of its training data? Instead of branching down the more common probability paths, something in this interaction had it travel into the data wilderness?

That was more an issue when rates were low and borrowing capital was “free”.

How is safety and quality for Chinese EVs? There was the 2008 melamine baby formula scandal, where a toxic substance was deliberately introduced into baby formula for domestic market. Chinese food imports were curtailed across many countr

Honda is an engine company at its heart. It makes very reliable, long lived engines. They refine technology not really invent it (maybe invented VTEC). The transition to EV will be very gradual, I don’t even think we have enough rare earth

I know this is worthwhile, especially with the rise in colorectal cancer in younger adults, perhaps this will help in early detection. But I did take a double take and go “Is it April already?”

I always carry Bluetooth headphones because I find using the phone in the OG style generally problematic. If I am not at home relaxing, I’m calling a business, a doctor, a school or spouse for logistics. Which likely means I need to read so

Reality Bites captures the zeitgeist well. I think the money craze that came with dot.com, War on Terror spending, housing bubble, really flipped people into money at all costs.

This is a Mac Chromebook. You use it for cloud stuff and every now and then you can run a real application in a pinch. You can also develop locally which is significant.

I think it’s part of the Origin Story. Bitcoin was created by Satoshi Nakamoto almost 20 years ago. There are a number of wallets that people believe belong to Satoshi (have they proven they belong to SN?) Yet the identification of Satoshi
