Absolutely agree that socialising the losses is egregious. But there’s a reason that “too big to fail” gained so much currency during the GFC (God, doesn’t that feel like an eternity ago?). We’re in the middle of a new Cold War and the (perceived or real, doesn’t matter) strategic implications of just letting these things fall over are politically unpalatable.

Sadly, this is just posturing. When the time comes - and it will - the rest of us will have to do what we always do, and reach into our back pocket.

Ain’t no teat like the gub’mint teat.

Excellent, thank you - that makes much more sense.

Bit surprised to hear that it doesn’t link notes in Obsidian. It seems strange to go to the trouble of implementing a visual graph later on top of a vault but then not even offer an optional setting to have those links create e.g. wikilinks.

I have some excellent news for you: you don’t have to.

That oughta fix it.

“So… what happened to the previous team?”

Only a married man can know the exquisite burning humiliation of breaking a brand new expensive tech toy while showing it off to one’s sceptical wife.

I hope you’re a patient person. My 2017 iPad Pro is still getting security updates.

> Toyota’s current chairman and former CEO, Akio Toyoda, warned in an exclusive interview with Japanese media NHK in July that the company is being forced to adapt, or “it cannot survive,” amid new competition and technology from China.

Finally run out of lobbying options, eh? Good luck with that.

I’ve been playing in this space as a moderately experienced hobbyist - mainly for 3D printing functional parts.

I’m using a single repo for all my models and Claude with build123d (plus a VS Code viz extension). Over time, I’ve built up a little folder of useful skills and I’m generally getting satisfactory results.

That said, I have had my eye on CadQuery and am looking for an excuse to try it. For those in the know: how does it compare to build123d?

Well, I’m not doing this, so if they push ahead and I’m made to do it for whatever reason, they’ll lose at least one $200/month sub.

Surely outfits like Sakana will be looking at a similar strategy. The White House / Anthropic spat supercharged all this.

Doesn’t the claim in the first paragraph only make sense if you assume that content becomes irrelevant as it ages? That holds for news but not for most other media.

I have a huge Steam backlog and a Plex server stocked with (ymmv) many of the finest movies available in the form. There’s so much media there that there’s no realistic path to experiencing it all in my lifetime. That certainly has an impact on my inclination to purchase new games or movies.

I concede that that’s always been the case for durable written works thanks to the local library. But the scale of convenient supply now is staggering.

I find Jump Desktop to be excellent. One time payment. Can connect from iPhone / iPad, too. A noticeable step up from Screen Sharing (which can’t be used from mobile device anyway). Can’t recall it ever failing to connect or flaking out as so many RDP setups seem to.

Thank you, that’s very helpful. Just added it to my homelab.
