CEOs have this one weird trick they don't want you to know about!

I'm not sure what derelict Detroit suburbs you are talking about, the suburbs are mostly fine, that's where the money went ... Lots of residential city that's still abandoned, although downtown is actually worth a visit these days.

Plausible deniability, I never saw it!

The drug epidemic is out of control

‘It’s astonishing’: Nessel plans to intervene as DTE files notice for new rate hike 5 days after last approval The Michigan Public Service Commission approved a $242.2 million rate hike last week

It’s astonishing that our current system allows DTE to announce their next rate hike case less than one week after locking in a $242 million rate hike, all while the utility projects record profits.

ssh is an obscure but widely-deployed command. It stands for Secure Snake Home and was made in the 90s to securely play snake online

I made a massively multiplayer backend for it with support for thousands of concurrent snake players

ssh snakes.run to join!

I think what'll happen is that knowledge gets (even more) k-shaped between those who are curious and those who are not. For people that are, AI is an *insane* learning aid. An infinitely patient tutor who knows basically everything ever. For those who aren't, it can just think for them. ->

...and then trump comes on TV and doubles down. Claiming that not only are the tariffs still in effect, but he's adding more tariffs.

I'd propose your brain is on power saving mode and actually only using 2 watts.

So it uses 20 watts....and can produce a few thousand dissertations on different topics in seconds? It's kind of useless to compare the scale of a ton of different concurrent calculations to a brain which can only do a single thing at once.

It is literally impossible for people to keep up with this speed of a conversation and that leads to all kinds of frightening possibilities

...and then someone picks up the phone before the end of the download

I feel seen....

Once again I'm asking Democrats to take their messaging cues from the sitting Democratic Senator who is the most vulnerable for re-election in 2026

The less the rich have, the less they have to buy out our politicians and the less bully puppet they have to bully the rest of the world into their skewed privileged viewpoints, and the less they have to buy the loyalty of lackeys. It's a true good.

I mean....ok. But if you are making one, and cleaning up that mess, might as well make 10 and enable your future self to be lazy by reheating it.

Same thing happened to me. Agree that it seems to be completely vibe coded. Need a human in the loop for some sanity.

A company bought it in January, not a bad time to look for alternatives, but it's fun to hack too

Pretty easy to prompt an LLM to be cynical too ....

I don't think a work free society would be paradise. Actually I think that it would enable a certain type of person to be likely to end up in dark thoughts. And a certain other type to isolate themselves. Maybe work will be less productive and more social? Less requirement and more passion?

I just had a waking nightmare where the compaction has a progress bar measured in k/s and the remaining time indicator for compaction is 2 hours and 33 minutes.

Hopefully! If we can only automate health care administration without turning it into the automated death Star

Taxies? You need a taxi? Oh wait taxes!
...I mean actually though the government workforce doesn't use much of our taxes. (5% on salaries). It's all the pesky other things like social security, Medicare, and a fun supply of aircraft carriers that make up the majority of our spending.

You're absolutely right, sir.

Coolest Claude Code finding of the day. I lost a script and Claude code managed to take the pyc (compiled python file), find a tool to extract it, and then cleaned it and polished the missing elements into the fully working 1800 line original script.
Magic.

Yes it's building vast infrastructure which will be infinitely useful and impactful. But the issue is that there is no guarantee that the companies that are investing will have the spoils in the end, which is why it makes it a bubble. This is the industrial revolution sped up.

And when it comes to things like random videos, no one has the niche service that would fit a group of people and sustain itself, so that's why the free model reigns there. Email? It's not obvious to most users the cost of free email, and for most it's realistically almost no cost. Friction.

I think a subscription service works if you have a targeted niche service that isn't offered for free, and if your price point matches the majority of users. That's true for early video streaming. As prices and competition increase, you want to capture market share, freemium captures more users.

It sounds right to me. I get the idea that the majority of people are in jobs they don't particularly want, doing jobs that could be mostly automated, doing the minimum to get by. We have already hit the point of many or most jobs being regardless. Who dreams to be a cog that barely turns?

That's very graphic. Thanks for the tag. Wouldn't want someone who is also in the Michigan winter seeing live plants this time of year.
