  • Don't buy these old japanese houses, they're literally made of mud and sticks and have absolutely fuck all for insulation.

    Living in nature is all fun and games until you're expected to sleep in 50 degree weather while your split unit struggles to keep your paper box of a bedroom cool.

    Most of the time the closest hospital is like 2-3 hours away on a bus that only comes twice a day, so you better hope you never get in an accident cause the ambulance won't come for hours and your only other hope is the only other person in neighborhood: your 90 year old neighbor who you're not sure is even still alive.

    Source: lived in one for multiple years.

    Edit: also when I say old I mean as soon as 1995 Before they majorly overhauled the earthquake and insulation codes nationally

  • I think most ML experts (that weren't being paid out the wazoo for saying otherwise) have been saying we're on the tail end of the LLM technology sigma curve. (Basically treating an LLM as a stochastic index, the actual measure of training algorithm quality is query accuracy per training datum)

    Even with deepseek's methodology, you see smaller and smaller returns on training input.

  • From the Peter Navarro story linked:

    According to Mr Navarro's 2001 book, If It's Raining in Brazil, Buy Starbucks, Vara was a captain in a reserve unit during the Gulf War as well as a doctoral student in economics at Harvard University in the US.

    Are the freakonomics guys in the government yet?

  • Importantly, as of a few days ago any agency in the executive branch has to defer to the president and attorney general for interpretation of the laws, so if the president says the court order is illegal then the DoJ doesn't have to do anything.

  • It was over eleven years ago at this point so my memory may be hazy on the details but I remember something happening in the major version change that pissed me off enough to switch off of it. 🤔

  • Licenses for sublime text 2 just said "and future updates". I remember the "lifetime" thing being a selling point on producthunt. This was back in 2013 though, and the weird way the licensing change was handled made me switch to emacs.

  • Before the one license=one version switch in 2013 the license stated "and future updates" which they did, but they switched to needing to pay for new licenses for some reason. I remember that being the primary reason I switched to emacs.
