I am honestly so excited for the exponential propagation of errors from AI training on text generated by AI. Regression to the mean, babyyyyy!

About to frame this and put it up in my shower

Robert Sapolsky wrote a whole book on this based on this called Determined. I really enjoyed it and pretty much agree

This also checks out

I kind of suspect that proton pays a premium to get their IPs whitelisted

I got a sign in prompt over my proton vpn the other day. Refreshed and it was gone

How progressive!

At the very least Gary is out there spreading his message in a way people can understand and trying to help people understand that the rich are stealing from us.

In my opinion, the probable burnout isn’t worth it. Burnout is like a heat injury, once you get it you become more susceptible to it for a time. I recommend maintaining a healthy work-freetime balance now so you know how to do it in the future.

Two years ago I became a first time homeowner. I’m moving in 6 months and am going to keep this property and rent it out. I cannot afford to buy another house almost anywhere in the US. I will be renting. However, I closed on this place with 3% interest and pay $1500/mo for the mortgage, plus about $250 for utilities. Round up to $1800/mo. Anyone buying at today’s interest and value with 20% down is looking at a mortgage of about $2300/mo, before utilities.

I absolutely resent this market, but I refuse to let this place go into the hands of anyone like Blackrock. And since I don’t care about maximizing profit, I can keep the rate on the lower end and help someone live here for a few hundred a month less than they could with a new sale. I can rent it for $1700-1800/mo to cover incidentals and repair and still let a renter live here for less than a new mortgage.

I’ve been toying with the idea of counting every dollar the renter pays against the mortgage and selling to them at the difference when (if) rates come back down.

Certainly not ideal, and a little bit apologetic, but in this situation it’s about as close as I can get to a win-win. Or least lost-least lost.

I read those stories like 20 years ago. Good to see them coming up again! Is he still writing?

Try the Expanse series. It’s long and very well done, but you can tune in and out and still get the story.

The Andy Serkis narration felt like watching the movies again, but with hours of bonus content, which is also the original content
