No it's not "obvious." My wife and I own 3 properties. One is commercial, the other two are residential. That might paint us as extremely wealthy but neither property is huge. We're fairly middle class. We use both residential properties interchangeably because they're not huge houses and we like our space. We could sell both and move into a single dwelling but we like things the way they are. Especially now that our daughters are adults in their twenties, who still live at home for the time being, but have their friends & significant others stay over quite a bit. I'm too much of an autistic introvert to live with that many other people in the same house 24/7 even if the house were a mansion.

The only reason I pay for the highest tier Netflix account is because of the number of devices allowed. Basically for my wife and daughters. I almost never watch it myself. Every time I open it up I feel like I spend more time scrolling to try and find something to watch than actually watching content. So if Netflix comes after us for "account sharing" I'm cancelling our subscription immediately without thinking twice about it. We're a single family, we just occupy multiple locations most of the time.

And our case is a bit more complicated than people who are talking about paying for a family account that includes kids who are away at school or camp or what-have-you. Or families who travel a lot. My wife and I are magicians (our commercial property is a small theatre and magic shop). This gets me thinking about families that travel for work. Army families or entertainers. Imagine being a Cirque Du Soleil performer - many of whom have kids ... they live on the road most days of the year.

The point is that there is no one-sized-fits-all "family" and it's more common for a nuclear family to occupy multiple locations than many would think.

i believe is what newsom's latest tweet was about

A lot of us are old enough to have worked through the dot-com bubble and crash. The AI boom over the last year or two feels a lot like the late 90s leading up.

That said, if the market hadn't gone so all-in on the Internet and world wide web, investing stupid amounts of money into so many idiotic crackpot ideas that were doomed to fail, we arguably wouldn't have the Internet that we enjoy today.

In other words, you have to throw a lot of shit at the wall to see what will stick. 90% of just about everything we humans create is unremarkable. It's the 10% that we end up with that matters.

And we will get the 10% out of AI. Which is another way of framing what you are saying.

I've been a pretty big skeptic when it comes to the hype vs actual productivity gains, but that doesn't mean I haven't found a few areas where it has been useful in my workflow. LLMs are a cool magic trick. They can create some breathtaking illusions and are exceptionally useful at a few narrow applications such as searching and pattern matching.

While I don't want to see the ugly side of the crash (layoffs and unemployment), I am looking forward to when the hype train is over so everyone shuts up about their overstated fantasy and we can get on with doing actual work. The blockchain hype was annoying too, but since it wasn't obvious how blockchain could be applied to all types of work we didn't hear every single CEO at every single company talk about how AI is going to fundamentally change the way we work.

I ran a dedupe on my drive and eliminated 8 redundant copies of the goatse guy.

Why wait for Cruise? You can do this today. My daily commute is 20min going up 45 and around 610.. I get the worst of it all. But I don't drive, and while I don't play games or watch movies, I do text, catchup on emails, and eat breakfast. Makes that drive go so much quicker.. Waymo is here too now, so there's space for a new player...

Except the free XX hours was part of every new service, not the actual disk. If you didn't have a new credit card to start a new free trial, your trick would never work.

Yet.

Wait until every computing device has the equivalent of an A6000.

My wife worked extensively with Michelin-starred chefs in the Bay Area for a decade. I've been lucky enough to get to know some of them and their mentality.

The best of the best are always trying to be, well, better. Food is only one of the aspects that they think about- they also want you to feel welcome and respected. As the article mentions, some chefs have kept notebooks of guest preferences in the past. If they can use someone's Instagram account to get a sense of who they are before they come in, they can make sure that the waitstaff are treating them in a manner they would like. For example, if someone seems like they are introverted, then maybe they back off on the social interactions with them. If they seem to be someone more extroverted, then they get more attention.

Chefs want anyone that comes in to feel like they are special. This is just a new innovation in that direction, and it's not something that you're going to find happening at Chili's anytime soon.

This. I enjoyed the $15,000 gram of weed and 8ball of coke I bought in my 20s.

You realize a lot of ISPs block ports like HTTP, SMTP, SMB.. right? Should we allow unfettered access to services that when compromised affects the entirety of the internet? Iâ(TM)m okay with gating it behind a more expensive service since, you know, most home users donâ(TM)t need to send email to every smtp server on the internet

My friend you need to look at how to spin these cases. Since ISPs are no longer telecommunications companies, a lot of the government fees should be removed as well (this does not translate to customers savings). Police wiretaps require court orders again. Mergers and acquisitions have less regulatory tape.

Most importantly the barrier to entry has been lowered greatly as an ISP is not bound to telecommunications regulations. Letâ(TM)s not forget why the net neutrality argument even started. Netflix used to pay for transit to all the major isps. Then they landed a sweetheart deal with Level 3 where L3 would handle Netflix transit as peering traffic. Netflix expands rapidly and ISPs realize they are being choked by Netflix traffic but Netflix pays them zero. The share the L3 pays was drastically less due to peering agreements. So a private company effectively socialized their costs. Every ISP said wtf Netflix needs to pay. Then Netflix funded the net neutrality movement saying that you were going to be affected. But in the end they still passed the costs onto the customer while they experienced record profit for years on end! So ask yourself why should we allow this?

This is not going to affect your aws hosted site, or your personal blog. This is going to affect AI crawlers. This is going to affect CDNs. The abusers of bandwidth. Further, we live in the era of multigig home connections. Net neutrality was a 2010s issue. It is not a concern today. Move on.

At first I legit wondered if you were in the US, because (a) in the USA we are allowed to sell alcohol on the trains, and (b) your post history is SO us-biased. However it was this post that made me realize you are not in the USA. I am sorry you cannot enjoy a fresh beverage on the train in your country.

However I must note you expend an extraordinary amount of energy on the US when it is not your country. I find that fascinating. Also fascinating is how negative your entire post history is. I had to go back 10 pages until I found that linked comment, and every. single. post. was so overwhelmingly negative. It was really tiresome at some point, which made me wonder if you're like this in real life. You should take a moment and reflect on yourself. Even at the age of 51, it's not too late to change your perspective. Smile. Go for a walk. Breathe. Reframe your thought, then think about your reply. Mindfulness is a wonderful way to harness positive energy. Good luck to you!

I am very fond of BMWs interface. It is very smooth and intuitive. I very much like the gesture pads on audi and Mercedes. It is very nice to just write what you want and it figures it out. Benz has the best cursive handwriting detection I have ever seen in a car.

That said, we are in the future. We shouldnâ(TM)t be interacting with screens anymore. We should be telling the car what we want and it figures it out.
