I dunno. I keep remembering what my old Pebble did, and how well it did, and nothing more… And yep, I want it back.

Basically, a dumb watch, with an HR monitor, accelerometer, and could sync that data to my phone app.

Its API let me do cool things like pause/unpause my music while running, which was nice. But, it required the apps to be have an API for doing so.

Battery? The thing went an entire week between charges.

Why dump more resources into something, that you don’t need to, because there’s a very serviceable option already prepped for sale?

Thunderbird and neomutt.

I dont think Trump is overly concerned about legality, but his latest prenuptial agreement, that was amended his last term.

Because it’s far too easy to point out that Melania lied on her citizenship application, and she would be deported under that idea, too.

Not that Trump would mind. It would enable him to start fucking his daughter, or Laura Loomer.

Good for them, standing on principle 😁

No.

Good to know that pretty much anything looks fine on my TV, at typical viewing distances.

Watch the intro video when you first turn on the mac book. REALLY.

If you miss it, or whatever, find the current vid to watch. Before I did that, it felt like the touchpad was insane, and just doing random shit.

And get iTerm2. Its better than stock.

From there, its just a UNIX with a funny window manager.

A huge problem are developers who lack a fundamental understanding of how the internet even works. I’ve had to explain how short, unqualified names resolve vs how fqdns resolve. Or why even you may not be able to reach another node in your proverbial cluster, because they are on different subnets. Or, why using GUIDs as hostnames is a generally bad idea, and will cause things to fail in unpredictable ways, especially with deeply nested subdomains.

I moved to Tidal, and out of 10,000 tracks, I lost ~30 of them.

Other than missing the “Magic shuffle” which helps me discover new stuff, its a good enough streaming platform.

Already done.

A delusional market, is, by definition a bubble.

It is not “normal” to run a 4 year money loser and claiming to be worth billions.

Only in made up financial land does that work, and causes cyclic depressions where the working class loses wealth, and the oligarchs further concentrate wealth in their hands.

And you said its driven by companies making money… the big AI companies driving this bubble are losing money.

Being in a non-federal government job, in a non insane state.

The problem isn’t the imaginary market, which I agree with the description. Its the leveraging of debt, to gamble in the market, which is what low interest rates enable.

And yes, our interest rates are VERY low still. I’m looking at some ARM packages right now, and their max lifetime interest rates are on par with what a typical mortgage was about a decade ago.

The vast majority of what’s happening here is not debt.

Most of what is going on in the AI sector is most certainly debt leveraged. Like, I’m looking at the books for several companies deep into AI.

I mean, how much profit is OpenAI turning right now?

Goldman Sachs also though NINA mortgages were a good idea, and they also thought it was a good idea to bundle bad mortgages in with good mortgages, and find a rater to mark them AAA investments.

And then we saw how that worked out.

I don’t think the AI bubble will burst is because it is driven by companies that actually make money.

Last I looked, the big AI companies are all hemorrhaging money.
