  • Science routinely solves problems like this:

    In some sense this is the very heart of science: taking disparate views of the world and drawing likely conclusions that are testable and reproducible.

  • That is completely fair. For the way I use my laptop I need fairly current hardware, but if you do not, the premium price might not make sense for you.

  • The way I justified it was by saying that it will last longer than a laptop I just throw away after 5 years. If I can keep it for 10 years with an upgrade ir two the economics starts to make sense.

  • If you could take back one thing you've said, what would that be?

  • What size model? I can run 8 billion parameter models on my Geforce 3070 with 8gb of vram. Bigger models need more memory. For $1-2k you can upgrade to a 16 or 32 gb video card. For $3k you can get a Framework Desktop with 128 gb unified memory. For $6k you can get a DGX Spark with a blackwell chip and 128 gb unified memory. Mac mini or Mac studio are also good choices in this price range.

  • This works surprisingly well. Even though the relief is temporary, exerting some control over the pain makes it more manageable.

  • The kids devices have their wifi shut off at 11 pm each week day night. From time to time I will have them show me their screen time history and their Youtube watch history.

  • Bullshit:

    Meta reported for its most recent quarter (Q1 2026, ended March 31, 2026):

    • Revenue: $56.3 billion
    • Net income (profit): $26.8 billion

    That was up from:

    • $42.3 billion revenue a year earlier
    • $16.6 billion net income a year earlier

  • 5.9/10

  • IMDB reflects popular opinion. Everyone has unpopular opinions, heck I liked the Emoji movie. Also, for some niche movies the ratings are wildly skewed since only die hard fans are voting on them. And for some movies where there are strongly held opinions, many people will pile-on and vote on them without even having seen the movie.

    All that said, IMDB is a useful tool for getting read on popular opinion on movies. Also, IMDB is standing behind me with a gun to my head. Send help, please.

  • Did you know in experiments on Chimpanzees it has been shown that they likely have equivalent memory and cognitive abilities to humans?

    So what is the secret to our success? Social learning.

    Hands down the most fascinating thing I have learned are the theories of Joseph Henrich, an anthropologist and the Chair of the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology of Harvard University, in his book book “The Secret of Our Success”
