that's funny. the very first thing i had an llm do was to ask it to pretend to be the HHGTTG infocom game. Can't remember how it did.. not amazingly but was interesting still.

is that better or worse than 3 beers?

US firms can replace US workers with chinese AI. I'm not complaining.. but it sure is an odd situation.

AI rabble-rouser!

every gen z i know has many, many tattoos. and tattoos are not cheap.

ok but it's a damn fine pelican

dang all these comments make me want to short more. gimmie your monies!

a company who says we'll have ai in space, meanwhile you can stick ai in the ocean and use ocean water to cool & still have access for upgrade cycles.

meanwhile china and japan and bezos all landing reusable rockets.

meanwhile maybe ai runs locally on phones (today's announcement of deepseek in the iphone in china)

ummmm. short in force!

nah the very worst thing about the spacex ipo is that schwab won't allow me to short it. has nothing to do with the recency of the issue. today i shorted some skhy when i realized it's trading about 30% over the Korean share price (I could be wrong about that)

this is the sort of startup we get when memes rule the investing landscape.

those who buy & sell stocks & options & provide exit liquidity.

12 million / 8.3 billion => 0.0014 something. so.. 0.1% turns out to be correct. honestly i made the number up and accidentally nailed it

curious where you live that starlink is the best option.

soooo good that they'll burn up one day and this nonsense can finally end.

investors provide infinite capital to nonsense projects so that the showman can create an endless show that will attract new nonsense capital.

sorry but already in rural morocco they have 200 mbit internet for 20 bucks a month. Yes there are some 6 wheeled vehicles roaming the planet that might really benefit from these 100k satellites. but for 99.9% of everyone else? we're good!

looks frighteningly deterministic!

so if I get one... anyone know if it may stop working in the future when macos changes something? Or does it not require installed software drivers?

has bruv updated said book to include tips on using AI to automate?

Money is neither created nor destroyed in the markets. It's exchanged.

If Musk is worth a trillion while not generating a trillion of value, then it's a heist.

heist: "an elaborate, meticulously planned theft, typically targeting highly valuable items, large sums of money, or financial institutions like banks or museums"

None of that really matters.

What matters is that this has enough "future story value" to keep the few investors invested... allowing for the planned index funds to buy into the overvalued stock & allowing for the largest heist in the history of money.

It's become pure hype and drama on the global stock market stage.

prediction: SpaceX will not escape Earth's gravity. Meaning... what goes up will come down.

The timing of this so close to SpaceX IPO is seriously sus.

Maybe because nature put them in the ground for a reason?

Minor risk that taking what took 200 million years to put into the ground out in a few hundred years?

gas turbines generally are for peaking. Not for base load.

Hopefully Elon lets you into his glass bubble when the s** cooks on the fan.

if you remove the hachek, there will be MANY locked out czech users. It's a symbol of national pride!

ahhh.. childhood!

lmao seriously this is how leaders lead?

oh, surprise! blowing up oil infrastructure increases oil prices.

shocking news.

meanwhile.. didn't china start selling cars with sodium sulfur batteries?

learn how to surf. go live in a surf town. constant social interaction... not the deepest but it's constant & you can learn to feel more comfortable with light, non needy conversation... after your brain adjusts to that, probably socializing anywhere will become easier. That's my theory anyhow.

Apple makes great hardware. I kind of knew this when I was 12 and I had an Apple IIc. I'm 52 now.

With all that great tech to land and reuse rockets, they still need to be propelled into space using... kerosene. That's right. 1 million satellites launched into orbit using kerosene.

Does not feel like a vibe.

Tesla's secret weapon will be the dyson sphere. Probably complete within 2.. 3 years maximum.

reading uncle bob's book was the singlemost harmful thing i ever did to myself as a software engineer. wasted so much time writing such worthless tests. TDD? ughhh no way.
