@elaifresh I used to get regularly smoked on my commute in Portland by chubby dudes wearing flannel jeans and a backpack rocking some frankenstein bike they got at the coop

Cyclists showing up to group rides sitting on $10k bikes with deep rims wearing PNS: hugely bimdodal, could be inexperienced hotshots or absolute hitters
Cyclists on some Craigslist-ass bike with steel fenders wearing a t-shirt: you will not even see them again until the cafe

There's a phenomenon in running that applies to the rest of the world: It's the beginner runners who deck themselves out in all the gear. They try to look the part they've been sold. As they gain experience, they ditch most of the gear. And show up with the basic necessities.

it says a lot about CPU demand if Gravitron, a CPU that everybody agrees sorta sucks, is getting 100% of its capacity booked
Rihard Jarc@RihardJarc
The CPU shortage is severe. The comment from $AMZN regarding the current demand for their Graviton CPUs is not getting enough attention: "Two large AWS customers have already asked if they could buy *all* of our Graviton instance capacity in 2026 (Graviton is our widely-adopted custom CPU chip)—we can’t agree to these requests given other customers’ needs, but it gives you an idea of the demand." You might question this comment, thinking that Graviton's capacity is small, but that is not true. For three years in a row, more than half of the new CPU capacity added to AWS is powered by Graviton.

@Looten_P_ @resourcebull You’re actually taking a huge risk if there is high inflation, or risk locking in permanent underperformance if the big drop never happens. I say this as someone who is also cash heavy right now.
English
@resourcebull I am 100% cash and precious metals and will be waiting for much more than 3% drop before buying anything. And I have zero regrets about it. Perfectly content to wait as long as needed, and certainly not taking any risks right now.
English
I think people now realize that the stock market has become an essential utility, like gas water electric, and they’ll never let it go down again.
We’ll even lose wars for it.

@geekymutt @teflonsteve @Troy1894 @AlTayWeiss I had a landlord who would do this. Used my neighbors bathroom while he was over once and didn’t flush! Nasty old man
English
@teflonsteve @Troy1894 @AlTayWeiss They do that anyway.
I've had landlords sign leases that would say outright they would arrange a time for any non emergency visit, then just show up in the middle of the day, no call, no knock, just charge in.. shit I've come home to them Snooping in my desk door wide open.

@JamesPetigru @CohenSite Let’s be real the battle between “not an eyesore” and “better experience for drivers” has long been over in LA

@CohenSite They're kind of an eyesore, no. Probably have to put them in alleys.

Whoever figures out how to make stackers work for street parking is going to make a fortune in LA
BarryRoland19@BarryRoland19
In many neighborhoods, parking is *the* most important amenity to most tenants. We're building some ADUs in one building right now, and the parking situation has become a shitshow. 3 spots for 4 units. Now, in all of my leases, I separate parking from the lease itself, which allows me to unilaterally take parking away with 30 day notice, and reduce rent by $1/mo. But taking parking away is a death sentence. So instead, I'm now offering $300/month (from $100) to any tenant to stop parking onsite temporarily, to avoid the parking shitstorm. Still no bites.

@GregBellini66 @matt_slotnick The sales motion is totally different and GTM teams do not have a smooth transition in all cases. Going to be a major learning curve.

if all new AI software revenue moves to consumption with a commit and burn down structure, we're going to need to redo SaaS metrics from the ground up

@travishelwig I forget Hermon’s is there but I was riding my bike around and had this intense craving for steak frites. Turned the corner and there it was. Might be top steak frites in LA?

@ContrarianCurse Lol I totally had the thought “wait why is cybersec plummeting off this news isn’t this great for the sector, should be some good discounts” but if you look at the actual companies they’re all garbage

Circular valuations cut both way

@tranquil_orb @bumpasshelll I’ve spoken with a few middle aged Portland artsy types who are moving to goldendale for this exact reason (well, and being priced out/alienated from new Portland)

@bumpasshelll that stretch near goldendale feels almost unnaturally still, like something eerie and enchanted are sharing the same area

@missmayn @noahpasaran yes Boyle heights I’ve noted as walkable, Los feliz & silverlake def are not
English
no one wants to hear this but LA is a walkable city depending on where you live. if you live in hollywood/k-town/downtown, most is walkable and you have access to the metro/bus system to go to less walkable spots on the west or east side lol
art tavana@arttavana
LA is a walkable city if you’re willing to risk it.

Wait do people not bother using up lift models anymore? Just assume complete free lunch and you can flood the zone?

i work in advertising analytics, and our models assume that an ad can't make you less likely to buy a product but honestly i am not super confident in this feature

@thetasteofoink @shubhampatilsd This is the designated path since they made Camp Pendleton route (which was the previous way) extremely restricted

@shubhampatilsd Please don’t do this in the future stay on designated bike paths

this friday, i biked 137 miles from san diego to north los angeles on a $80 bike i bought off craigslist
no prior training or prep. my best use of free will so far
English
@notatrax @shubhampatilsd It’s legal in this spot. Since COVID they made the previous route (via Camp Pendleton) impossible so you have to ride on the shoulder. But yeah it’s dangerous as hell and stupid they don’t have a better solution in place
English
@shubhampatilsd lol probably illegal and extremely dangerous but to each their own

@Colin_d_m What’s stopping you from moving to Dallas and making it interesting? This is only a problem if you yourself are boring

@hunkybloodydory @arcuaria What restaurant do you serve up I’m coming by
English
@arcuaria Ah 2 bottles is like 4 glasses, no worries...

In many ways I do know that the Americans are right like it’s probably not great to be able to put away so much alcohol in one evening but also like 2 bottles of wine is just girls night

@therealdsube @TheGayChingy There’s a few artists like this where I’ll pick up a used copy of the CD and rip it if I want to listen. But I’m a weirdo who still buys a lot of CDs in 2026…

@TheGayChingy I don't even wanna stream it because she's said she doesn't get much from them even though she's proud of the work (obviously).

The three original Crystal Castles records are quinessential. Knowing what we know now, It really is a god awful shame the conditions under which some of the most important music from the late 2000s/early 2010s was made and the trauma that one member put the other thru.
