"Taking pictures of the contents of your freezer" sounds so tedious. It's a solution looking for a problem!

A friend owned farm land in India, he moved to Canada. The property deed was in his name.

Someone in India, with fraudulent documents "sold" his land.

He only came to know about it when he next visited India. Unfortunately he could not do much. There are people who will actively look through property records - if the person is not a local resident ( lives internationally ), then they are prime targets.

This was a decade ago - things have gotten a lot better with digital records and India's Universal ID system. But I did not realize, something like this was possible in the US.


This is very prevalent in South Africa, to the point there is a legal cottage industry around verifying original documents vs counterfits (down to fingerprint testing, chemical analysis of inks).

Reminds me about what my uncle told me (not India though): As a foreigner or someone local out of the country for extended period you rent a caretaker and pay them enough so they don't leave the property unattended. And build a fence around it.

Trump announces Warsh and this happens. Can't be a coincidence.

Incidentally Warsh's father in law is billionaire Ronald Lauder who is trying to get Trump to capture Greenland. Sounds like father-in-law got him the role.

Warsh played a substantive role in addressing the financial crisis in 2008 and has a lot of relationships and respect across financial markets.

How independent will he be? Who knows. But folks believe he is at least knowledgeable and competent. Which is not widely believed of all the president’s appointees.


Isn't managing the LLM tedious, in fact I find it mind-numbingly tedious!

At one point I was in the top 10 in the Experts Exchange Leaderboard! It sucked as a platform, but I did learn a lot helping answer questions.


Sounds a lot like how the original web was envisioned as a 2 way street, where people were paid for their "attention".

Rather we became the product.


Yes, yes but how are we going to get HA with one machine..

Fuck off ..you're 10 person startup with an MVP and no revenue stream needs customers first..


I used to work with a brilliant asshole - he had this babyface but would constantly belittle his fellow engineers.

Everyone hated him but the CEO loved him since he thought he was their golden ticket to the promised land.

At some point he went with us to a shooting range for target practice, immediately after he developed a fascination for guns, he never threatened anyone, but one day he buys a Kevlar vest and tells all his fellow devs.

The following Monday was his last day..


No idea what you're talking about!

I live on the west coast in the US and the sheer variety of fresh produce would put any supermarket in the UK to shame, even Spain. California produces 40% of the nation's veggies and fruits.


You nailed it - like posting on social media and getting dopamine hits as you get likes and comments. Maybe that's what has got all these vibe coders hooked.
