It's an interesting arbitrage question. When I do a search to see what they cost, they aren't that cheap: approximately $20k USD for a starter (Dolphin Mini). And, then about $50k USD for a minivan (M9). I was wondering if there was a weird lease model which could work for independent Mexican residents or expats, but I don't think there is.

Does anyone know if you can buy one in Mexico and drive it across the border?

I imagine it is very complicated to own it long term in the US. But if it were legally registered in Mexico, could you drive it in the US for a period of time?

I keep searching for Brother printers at Goodwill because apparently they are the best for non-DRM cartridges.

But, when I use my little pocket friend (an AI called Gemini, perhaps you know him?) he often indicates that the printer I'm seeing is 12 years old, and probably has wear and tear on the rollers.

Does anyone know if this is true? I would really like to get a printer that avoids the cartridge cartels.

But, Goodwill is no longer really inexpensive, and they often don't let you return things if they are broken. I would pay $20 for a used printer, but the few Brother printers I found are always $69 or thereabouts.

Th SS United States going into the Gulf of Mexico.

It would be funny if Mexico started calling it "el arrecife del imperio moribundo"

"The Reef of a Dying Empire"

I bought it off Facebook marketplace. The guy selling it apparently was granted the device from his work and then didn't need it. I didn't get the sense it was sketchy at all but now I'm wondering a bit. I had no idea it was that expensive new, I'm sad that this thing appears to be a brick now!

I did not call Apple, this was a local "fix my iPad" shop.

It was funny, the guy was narrating as he is searching saying "Whoa, this is the most I've ever seen... Wow, oh man... Hold on..."

I knew it was not going to be good.

I asked if there were any DIY options for me.

He said I could possibly find a used iPad online and swap that screen. But, given the insane prices of the replacement screen, I assume the secondary market for a salvageable iPad that works is really tough.

At this point it makes sense to just buy another used iPad.

Come on! I'm so offended by this.

You forgot to include fast food ads, a mainstay of sports advertising!

Otherwise, I totally agree.

I bought a used iPad for my daughter for her birthday about a year ago for about $500.

M4 chip.

Her mom's cats chewed on the corner of the screen. It won't turn on.

The cost to replace that screen: $1200.

Apparently OLED screens break completely if just a single pixel is damaged.

So if I'm reading this chart correctly, my 3090 card can get a 65-80% boost in speed generally? Or, is this only for certain models and quantizations?

Funny, I was going to ask "is it as simple as going off the grid"?

It makes the Biden and Obama solar subsidies look very different. Indirectly they were protecting us from private profiteering utilities?

This is a really fascinating exploration of how data center build out, funded by debt, debt that relied on low interest rates, can then put pressure on interest rates, which then causes the utilities to raise their rates. It's beautiful.

It feels like this is a game between speculators that want low interest rates, and a money machine that wants to protect their investments in the stock market. If you work for Goldman for 30 years before joining the fed, then you surely have an interest in protecting the status quo.

Is there no other system we could envision that makes it possible for us to avoid these goliaths battling and destroying the planet and our opportunities to live in peace?

This was very strange in an article critical of narratives. I can't help but think this person never played basketball.

  Eventually making trades started to feel like throwing a basketball. My brain started to develop a deep intuition for technical and fundamental signals, and how they combine to make a “swish”.

Remember, Trump has said if you don't use SI instead of AI you are an enemy. So, this title should be changed to "The math that OpenSI keeps for itself."
