outside1234··on Apple Silicon costs more than OpenRouter
We also have no idea what it actually costs Anthropic. This could be wildly subsidized and actually Apple Silicon is more cost effective.
outside1234··on Tesla Solar Roof is on life support as it pivot to panels
This whole article is a summary of Elon Musk in general. Lots of promises, no delivery.
outside1234··on I don't think AI will make your processes go faster
Research tells us that only 15% of software engineering is the “writing code” part. It looks like we are rediscovering that.
outside1234··on I believe there are entire companies right now under AI psychosis
What AI gives us is the ability to write code that we wish we didn't have to write. It is the killer one-off tool builder, prototyper, dep upgrader

Just nuts this company is so highly valued still. Just clown level execution the whole way down.
outside1234··on Trade Dollars with other startups. Book it as revenue
They have no scalable business model that yields profit outside of raising more investment, so yes, somehow they are still startups

"Any comparison to OpenAI is totally valid"
outside1234··on New York, California pension leaders oppose 'extreme' SpaceX control structure
They, and the S&P 500, need to declare that they will refuse to invest in it with this structure. Honestly, I'd like to see the S&P 500 also require two years of profit as a public company before investing as well.

Sure, until he changes that plan to something else that is 5 years out in the future next year.

The reason we have social security like it is is twofold: 1) current retirees are paid directly from our contributions. There is no pot of money to be invested and 2) we want to be able to guarantee a defined benefit that is not below a certain number. You can't do that with the market.

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. This is exactly right. They want a constant source of buying that they can steer investments into.

I think it really speaks volumes that they only thing you have on Obama is that he spent $70M with Russia to get astronauts to the ISS in an effort to show them that we could be partners (versus them lose a million people in a war with Ukraine).

"I don't want to be forced to pay for insurance, but will move to a state with subsidized insurance the second I need it."
outside1234··on "Not Medically Necessary": Helping America's Health Insurers Deny Coverage
Honestly, after stories like these, I don't want a corporation telling me which patients to serve even more. At least government is theoretically accountable for their decisions.

outside1234··on Googlebook
Is the value of the Chromebook in education that it is 1) cheap or 2) doesn't do anything except have a browser?

If it is both, then all the Neo needs to do is have a browser only mode and goodbye Chromebook market.

And all of the options / predictions market money being made by insiders who know the next episode in the soap opera before it happens.

Probably going to juice EV sales is the only positive I'm taking away from this. Trump might end up being the person who tipped the balance and kills the ICE car.

(Once ICE cars fall below a certain percentage, they will have structural disadvantages to EVs because ICE engines are so expensive to design.)

Thank you for building this! I might be holding it wrong, but I would like to be able to search for all night trains from a particular origin. Is that possible?

I am not a big fan of unions, but we need some form of union as soon as possible.

We should start charging them payroll taxes too per hour
outside1234··on U.S. Debt Tops 100% of GDP
The only things that we can cut that will have any real effect on the deficit are Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security, and Defense.

We are going to need agent neutrality laws soon.
outside1234··on U.S. Debt Tops 100% of GDP
1/3 of the debt has come under Trump. This isn't political, it is just a fact.

He passed tax cuts (which are the real debt driver) that are just not sustainable. Without those, we have a reasonable debt to GDP ratio.
