Yeah agree, I think it's really about personal risk tolerance.

I do agree 5 years is a while, but it's also easy to say that right now based on the last 5 years. It's not terribly difficult to find 5 year periods where returns aren't very good or flat out bad (e.g. starting investing in 2000).

Depends on how soon you are planning to buy. The usual rule of thumb for a big purchase (house, car, etc) is that if you’re planning on it occurring in 3-5 years, put money in a savings account. Otherwise, yeah you should probably invest it.

Usually people save money in a savings account.

It is interesting they only support 64gb and then jump to 128gb. It seems like a money play since it's $1,000 to upgrade for 128, and if you're running something that needs more than 64 (like LLMs?) you kind of have no choice.

I have a 14" M1 Max with 32gb of ram for work, and it does that popping noise every once it a while too! I've always wondered what was causing it.

Why… well, it’s a sport where you compete to lift the most weight. The other competition lift is the clean and jerk.

For my old ass I do it because it’s so hard and the rest of my life is fairly soft. Waking up and getting beat down by some snatches (or occasionally having a great session) keeps me level headed in other areas of life, I guess.

If you’re not a competitive weightlifter but still training explosiveness for other sports then you’re better off doing variations on the lifts. Like hang snatches, power cleans, power snatches, etc.

Same thing with Olympic weightlifting. This is a very common phrase in my gym.

Snatching has got to be the most humbling barbell movement ever. Dudes who can easily bench over 100 kg (220 lbs) would never get to close snatching that. (Myself included, but hopefully one day)

I might have missed it but did they mention Spotlight at all? That'd be pretty sweet if Spotlight becomes more useful (even a little bit)

No. You can’t posit anything about SBF based on this book.

VTI and chill

That’s not what I meant. It’s hard to compare these two problems because one is effectively solved (table saw) and one is not (social media).

It was about table saws, not circular saws. There’s a big difference between the two. Table saw accidents often result in losing fingers and it’s not that difficult to mess up while using one.

There’s a well known, proven, easy solution to table saw accidents called SawStop. It’s basically as obvious to use as a seat belt is if you want to be safe. The only problem is those table saws are very expensive.

Social media doesn’t have an existing and obvious solution (besides not using it).

Happy to see YNAB mentioned. I actually had no idea they used to have a desktop app!

I’m a happy subscriber though and to me its yearly cost is easily made up by how much money I save using it.

I believe it's only five months of health insurance since it says "Five months of benefit continuation". It does also say "Continued access to Modern Health through the end of 2024", but Modern Health is a mental health platform.

I was referring to the capital gains tax you pay for selling BTC on an exchange. I was thinking specifically about Roth IRAs, where any gains are tax free, but a 401k or similar would work too.

Indeed I was, thanks for clarifying.

But then I have to pay taxes on it.

Time to full send my retirement accounts into these ETFs so I can retire early. /s

Actually though I might consider allocating a tiny percentage (1-3%) to these. Seems like fairly low risk with enough upside, but who knows.

Haven't heard this take before. What are your thoughts on high frequency trading shops and the regular stock market?

Interesting, thanks. I didn't find that mentioned anywhere on their site. That does seem decently affordable.

What do you mean by roaming here? Assuming it's data, the big 3 are not affordable in my opinion.

Version and AT&T each charge $10 per day for international data, and T-Mobile's cheapest plan with international data is $90/month.

Instead... "After law school, candidates will spend 675 hours working under the supervision of an experienced attorney and create a portfolio of legal work that bar officials will grade as an alternative to the traditional bar exam."

You can still take the bar exam if you want.

Really sorry for your loss. My dad died of cancer about 20 years ago when I was pretty young. It has gotten easier over the years, but still, sometimes it feels like grief punches me in the sternum. Wishing you the best.

"Intel has decided that CPUs no longer should sort, and instead will return original arrays in constant time. This has shown to have a 10^17 performance increase in some benchmarks."

Guessing you meant to ask "any starting point for steamdeck running emulation now" or something like that.

If so, I'd recommend EmuDeck [1]. It took me about 10 minutes to set up and has emulators for essentially every platform you could want. (Just need to have roms.) Also, it's open source [2].

That's awesome! That's how I've used it so far and it works great, no complaints.

ps. are those people already at fly? shameless plug - would love to work on things like that.

Do you have plans for Rust (and specifically web frameworks like actix-web)? I see Rust on your main site under "Use the Tech You Love" but there's no dedicated docs.

During the livestream of the Merge someone said 0.2%, while Bitcoin was at 0.5%. Regardless, still an amazingly high percentage to just “turn off”.

Cmon this line of reasoning isn’t worth it

> How can a savings account generate 15% interest? Through the miracle of DeFi.

Yes, let me invest in miracles.
