I went hiking in Costa Rica and took only about 2g. The trees swaying while hiking near a dormant volcano top were just something to look at.

Yeah thinking too much about what you are doing can lead down weird thought spirals. Whereas just accepting it as another different ~3 hour experience will pay dividends.

So basically you get most of your comp at 2 years? So crank hard for 2 years and then bounce?

I randomly got a RPi4 (8gb) online earlier this year for like $90. I assume I was lucky just checking at the right time

Prob upstream suppliers know the demand and are artificially limiting their inputs... idk why RPi org would care that much. Plus if it gets out that would damage their rep BIGLY.

Routinely?

Elon’s Vision:

1. Charge $8/mon and a bunch of people will pay 2. Fire a bunch of engineers 3. Twitter looks way better on paper 4. Flip the company in 18 months when rates go down and market is better esp tech

It's the same idea isn't it? Just get people addicted to lock them into your platform and drain value from them.

I think Zuck has taken all the bad news about social media and stuff and wants to change course and be remembered as the "guy that made AR/VR mainstream" and not the negative social media connotations... What other reason is there? Just to make more money? He already made enough.

Meta makes the apps. Apple makes the phones.

Obv they need to split the profits somehow, it does make sense.

Taiwan as a piece of land has much more strategic importance than Ukraine. Ukraine's grain and terrain are the two things that are important about it from a utilitarian sense.

Darn I thought of this idea last year but yeah haven't done anything on it. Nice

Music theory is just a labeling of the grouping of sounds that sound a certain way, right? And the reasons why they do.

Like you could combine a bunch of random notes together and it would sound terrible. THe reason why a certain scale is a scale is that it all jives together in a way that makes sense to the human brain.

You're sweating long after a sauna way more than any hot shower i've taken... so there is def something different going on

Wow yeah. I have this in my bio but I haven't used it lately... great reminder thanks.

Yeah unless you enjoy spending time with people physically to build something for your employer.... there's no point.

I'm fine with selling 8 hours a day to an abstract entity called BigCorp to create what they want. Working remote I'm still doing that and giving them value.

I'm 30 and I moved back home because of covid, wanting to save money. Still am living at home... I should probably move out. Saving a ton though.

Any tips with the health/age? Or just all the classic ones, but actually doing them consistently.

Microdose shrum and go for a nice little bike ride. Then get back and have a coffee or tea and you're set

Hate how good these phones have gotten. Screen is so fluid and apps so fast. Easier to get addicted to reading hackernews and twitter and reddit and stuff.

Fuel is super high, but isn't extraordinarily high right. And congestion sounds like it is less.

I don't know specifics but it sounds like this is simply the rebound effect after covid etc. Demand fell, shipping messed up, demand skyrockets, shipping gets congested and super expensive. Stores have too much inventory, people have less money or perceived money from stock/crypto gains... now demand falls back to a reasonable level while supply chains are less congested

Means we are going back to normal.

Berlin sucks. A bit confusing and then they pay guys to walk around and check for tickets.

It can be really bad in some areas. But tinder is usually low quality in general i believe.

The idea of Merkel and the useful greenies in Germany is simply one of the most perplexing geopolitical decisions of the 21st century.

I'll never understand. If anybody knows the train of thought, please tell.

If Germany was more energy independent, Russia would be crushed this winter.

How much money do they have? Yeah it's crazy. But tbh are they even enjoying life without anything hard to occupy their time?

Yeah like what does Google even do

Cattle are pretty energy inefficient though, that's a fact. And people would prob be healthier with less meat overall.

I've noticed the same thing. I think it comes down to social media/internet has gotten so good at capturing our attention, that other stuff like sitting with relatives and talking about lives and such just seems less interesting. It's really messed up.

I find computer science boring actually, it's just a skill that's in demand and I can do decently well.

Find some fire in other things and start doing them. Get immersed into guitar, how you have to adapt technique to hit certain riffs etc. Get into languages, how each country has their own slang even within the same language, etc.
