- Comment on How Did TVs Get So Cheap? - by Brian Potter 2 days ago:
The plot below shows the price of TVs across Best Buy’s Black Friday ads for the last 25 years. The units are “dollars per area-pixel”: price divided by screen area times the number of pixels (normalized so that standard definition = 1). This is to account for the fact that bigger, higher resolution TVs are more expensive. You can see that, in line with the inflation chart, the price per area-pixel has fallen by more than 90%.
Yay! Now do computer ram from 1980 to 2020 before Ai was involved, and discuss size per dollar. You wanna do CPUs or hard drives next?
- Comment on 'Worst in Show' CES products include AI refrigerators, AI companions and AI doorbells 2 days ago:
Heckling your friends after they dropped $3k on some sloppy fridge is kinda cruel. Advise them hard when they ask for advice - here’s where you say “everyone will laugh” and “stupidest idea” - but commiserate when they realize what they’ve got.
You want to be in a position to offer advice for the next sloppy purchase.
- Comment on 'Worst in Show' CES products include AI refrigerators, AI companions and AI doorbells 2 days ago:
probably shut down the AI servers in a few years for cost reduction making the whole thing a huge waste of money.

- Comment on Being afraid of vaccines is literally childish behavior. 2 weeks ago:
I’m also a needle-weenie. I tell a different nurse each time and we joke about it – despite getting like 9 shots in one day in Basic. Then I wince a bit as I get the shot, put my stereotypically plaid coat back on and off I go.
