It’s really great. But also pisses me off every time lol
Every now and again I like to watch The Big Short to remind myself just how fucked up the GFC was.
My family was severely affected by the crash and I graduated high school in 2008. Going into the world at that time was so hard and I had to work my ass off to get established.
I really feel for kids entering the world after Covid. Fiat is such unbelievable cancer.
I wonder if there’s a way to bring nostr, podcasts, and torrenting together in an interesting way to create uncensorable content that’s also highly resilient to being lost to history.
lol I lived in Texas then PNW and this is true. My favorite thing in summer is to lay in the sun on the grass
The thing I hate most about Amazon is what it’s done to local retail stores. I’ve had so many times in the last few months where I go to get a very basic thing from a store, but they no longer stock these items.
Store shelves are almost never full anymore and the quality/quantity is nowhere near what it used to be.
Bitaxe!
Don’t worry, my Bitaxe is on the way!

Or fear of admitting the evils their complacency can bring

I just got one of these! Was gonna use it tonight
I just recently started taking supplements from heart and soil! It’s made a huge difference.
We typically get our eggs from a neighbor with chickens and most of our beef is from a local farmer. Feeling as good as ever.
Memes are winning!

What’s a good movie to watch with a nice glass of whiskey? I got one of those whiskey smokers and gonna try it tonight 😀
Why on earth would you want to save one??
There definitely have been some fires but ya, not massive ones like California. I’m very ignorant on forest management stuff, I grew up in the desert 🤣
I switched to PopOS full time a few months ago and I love that I’m in full control. Cant believe I ran the shitcoin that is windows for so long. Even macOS isn’t as good as it used to be.
So I’m curious - I live in the PNW and when trees fall on their own, typically they’re cut up enough to just move them out of the way, similar to the pics.
But we obviously get tremendous rain and most of these begin growing moss and breaking down. During the summer, they’re dryer, but not anything like the pics. Does this create the same amount of risk?
I’ve worked in #SaaS for a few years now. Here’s the standard VC backed SaaS playbook:
- Get seed funding, build MVP, get a few customers
- Get Series A and find product market fit
- Series B on forward - burn all the cash you have to acquire as much market share as possible.
- Once you have a strong percentage of the market, start raising prices rapidly to become profitable
- Big public exit to appease VCs, investors, employees…
This leaves customers paying a huge amount than they originally did and always spurs conversations about whether they really need this thing or not.
The big #AI players are clearly targeting corporations with the pitch of “you won’t need employees”. But there’s a problem - AI doesn’t have the same economics of typical software.
If they start charging what it actually costs to run these models, the cost savings suddenly aren’t so immense. If we end up in a world where corporations are running AI bots 24/7, it’s not unlikely that they quickly become too expensive vs traditional employees. And this isn’t even accounting for whether the AI actually performs these tasks well enough.
Unless the AI companies can create huge amounts of energy to offset their costs, I can see this happening. Maybe they figure out how to do this, but if adoption goes through the roof, it’s going to take a tremendous amount of new energy production.
Humans are the undefeated champions of turning organic matter into energy and production efficiently!
I have wondered more than once if this leads to the end of the internet as we know it. No one will know who or what is real. Authenticity in scarce supply.
A huge part of why I got into cybersecurity to start with was because of Anonymous. I was just getting into the workforce when they were going strong and wreaking havoc among the elites.
I loved the spirit of their actions, which was to hold power to account.
It’s not a surprise that three letter agencies cracked down HARD on that activity and essentially neutered the real hacker culture. The one where authority wasn’t legitimate and freedom and privacy were paramount.
Out of all the software engineers in the world, how many are writing code for products that normal people use and it actually improves their life?
I bet it’s under 10%. Maybe even 5%.
The majority of SWE’s are working at companies who’s sole focus is selling to other corporations. The rest are making fake AI profiles for FB/IG 🤣
