I find that people who demand or complain about training tends to be a really good filter for people that are hard to work with or intellectually incurious.

While we’re burning tokens, can someone please hack the latest Apple TV 4K to run full Mac OS X? At $300 it’s a bit rich for streaming device but for a Mac mini neo I’d bite.

Yeah, I find the HN hate for anthropic over other AI companies somewhat odd. Are you honestly trying to have me believe you trust them less than OpenAI or Meta? It honestly reads like a bunch of employees of the also rans complaining about the current leader in the space.

I’d rather know when it pops and buy the puts.

I know absolutely nothing about this, but it does strike me it might be self-fulfilling? Companies that have access to more investment tend to win more often, and thus become 'investment grade', while junk-rated firms fail because they don't have the runway?

The bizarre thing to me is that it doesn't really feel like they need to do much other than cut deals with developers. This latest atv can't be much slower than a switch 2 (I wouldn't be shocked if it's faster) and could certainly run a giant back catalog of games if publishers were willing to launch them on it. It seems like such an obvious thing that I must be missing something crucial about it.

It would really help me stomach a $300 dedicated box for my TV if it could do more than look at pictures and stream netflix. Games are the absolute obvious thing to do, especially since Microsoft and Sony are seemingly struggling.

Just ship a controller and cut some deals apple, it isn't that hard...

“patient defenestration” certainly conjures an image.

I’m interested in oxide, but I feel like you could level the same criticism. The startup cost of using azure or aws is almost nothing. The cost to use oxide is 6 figures?

I feel like they need to run a public cloud just to let people tinker with lightweight stuff and scale up to owning the thing.

That said, I’m also a moron about certain things, and this might be a moronic take.

That's why I use a belt and suspenders to pick them up.

Thank you for this, it’s basically what I’m leaning towards.

I wonder how long a full synthetic could run in an engine that, for whatever reason, doesn’t push oil hard. 20k miles?

Honestly I wish there was a good way to burn wood in an insert to heat the water that goes through my radiators, to offset an electric system. We tend to get a lot of weeks in the 20 or 30’s where a decent air to water system might do fine, but it would be amazing to burn wood for a few days when it sits at 0.

A friend of mine just got a generac generator, fully installed it was 17k. Pretty steep, not to mention the gas bill with any significant outage will be huge.

I appreciate the argument, but I can’t make my own natural gas. I was considering all electric with a backup wood burner insert in my chimney. I’ll probably end up with vehicle2home as a backup and solar panels, maybe not in that order. Natural gas is extremely good at generating heat, and I completely understand why people prefer it.

I take your point, but what you’re describing would have to cost thousands just in putting in underfloor pipes. It will never make financial sense to do it? Or am I misinterpreting your suggestion?
