Oh naturally.
I was just ironing out what I wouldn’t be doing any work for.
I’d get that shit notarized and then quit. Take a 10 year vacation to academia or something. Get published. 🤷♂️
- Comment on Elon Musk laid off the Tesla Supercharger team; now he’s rehiring them 7 hours ago:
I need a 1yr salary sign-on bonus before I clock in. I also need full pay for 120 months after any form of departure from the company.
You know, since I can’t trust the stability of the relationship.

Yeah the 1 2 punch reeks of sketchy business.
- Comment on Squarespace to Go Private in $6.9B All-Cash Transaction with Permira 13 hours ago:
Sometimes appeasing shareholders isn’t good for business.
This would mean it is more likely that employees will see greater benefits. Certainly doesn’t guarantee that, but without shareholders to appease, the workers have more leverage.

No “old i7” as I suggested, is going to meaningfully increase the temp of your room if it has any cooling solution in place.

Idk what I’m paying per kwh, I am just going off my monthly bills.
My other power fluctuates, I’m sure. I pay it no mind I just look at the bill. 🤷♂️
So far no bill has arrived that made me change behavior.
- Comment on The Price is Right television show is a low-key way to normalize inflation. 17 hours ago:
It’s even worse when the citizens do this.
That what I meant by “black Friday starts to look like the current housing market.”
I can see how that wasn’t a totally clear point.

It totally doesn’t
I’m running a 14th gen i9 and a 4080. It’s a power hungry boy. 1500w power supply. Generally using about 600-800w.
Running this costs me <$10/month in electricity.
The old compaq presario with a Pentium II that probably pulled down 100w running Ubuntu server as described here made no statistically significant change in my electric bill. That is to say, it’s about as much change as being good or bad at turning off your lights. It’s negligible.

I’d rock out to a year or three of like 0.1-2.9% deflation.
But that’s a much more slippery slope. Any more than that and black Friday will look like the housing market.

I mean, good documentation + LLM = Stack overflow is 100% obsolete
Why else would they speed run enshitification?

If price is the deciding factor then just build one.
Get an old i7 for dirt cheap, cram the thing with ram and storage to suit your budget.
Run something lightweight like Ubuntu Server.

Do people still use stack overflow? I feel like their days are numbered.

Weird metric, but ok.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
It’s simple: if you don’t shove your ways in other people’s faces, it’s fine. If you do, it’s not.
I don’t care if you’re vegan, but if you throw a BBQ and man the grill but don’t cook any meat because it’s not what you want, you’re inviting criticism.

Just sayin.

Driverless trucks will get Jesse James’d until they have armed guards.
Just a motivated criminal, a signal jammer, and a driverless truck enter an area with no signal. Just a happy criminal leaves.
