Have you … ever watched Blade Runner?

The cars might be, but their weights are their weights and that is an apples to apples comparison in the context of

And now to make lighter EVs that don’t wear on the road so much.

🤷‍♂️ I could spend that two hours with my kids.

You aren’t wrong, but as a community I think we should be listening carefully to the pain points and thinking about how we could make them better.

Gonna just stream of consciousness some stuff here:

Been thinking lately, especially as I have been self-hosting more, how much work is just managing data on disk.

Which disk? Where does it live? How does the data transit from here to there? Why isn’t the data moving properly?

I am not sure what this means, but it makes me feel like we are missing some important ideas around data management at personal scale.

Can you elaborate a bit on your setup? As someone running Jellyfin, curious how you’ve configured everything.

Google is well known to do A/B testing, meaning you might not get a particular response (or even whole sets of results generated via different algorithms they are testing) even if your neighbor searches for the same thing.

So again, I ask how your anecdotal evidence somehow invalidates other anecdotal evidence? If your evidence isn’t anecdotal, I am very interested in your results.

Otherwise, what you’re saying has the same or less value than the example.

How would you expect to recreate them when the models are given random perturbations such that the results usually vary?

My brother in business, I see you.

Once had to ask why the only woman our team was making significantly less. Got a shrug back from the HR director, a woman. I couldn’t believe that I had to fight her to bring compensation in line.

It’s not JUST the billionaires that are the problem. It’s really all the people that need to feel they’re somehow above others.

I use Tidal. It may not be much better than Spotify, but it’s better than Spotify.

History is littered with companies that decided they should “milk” their customers instead of providing new and innovative products. They usually don’t last all that long, but you’re right that the current board members might not gaf about any kind of longer term existence.

I don’t want my money used for shit like this so Roku and I are done regardless.of if they exercise this patent or not.

Personally looking at dumb panels and building OSMC machines to run them.

As a former Roku fan, forced arbitration or a brick was the breaking point. Roku can fuck off.

Used to recommend Roku to others. I will never buy anything from them or recommend them to anyone again.

Someday maybe boards will figure out that “business” people have no idea what they are doing.

There are a lot of open source LLMs being developed, ones you can run at home on your own data.

Unfettered capitalism.

Time to tax the corporations and the wealthy for their fair share again.

Want to solve almost all our problems? Redistribute wealth from the 1% who spend it on yachts to the rest of us to spend on healthcare, wages, etc.

Small business owner making 6 figures a year? I am not talking about you.

Spez, making 9 figures? That is who I am talking about and where the problem lies.

This won’t happen, you’ll just end up in a shittier world by giving Google more money.

I can’t force you, but your $8 “deal” isn’t worth it.
