TIL if YouTube iOS app has access to your photos, it actively scans them to provide ads. I took a photo of some text with a somewhat obscure company name in it and was promptly served ads for that company. Not even sure how the app had those permissions in the first place.

@8teAPi @octal Wouldn’t it be amazing if America declared cookie banners to be illegal? “Pick your market folks”

@octal It drives badly also. Once you realize it you won’t be able to ignore it. It’s not as bad as Mach-E but it’s not “right”. You notice it as a passenger. For me, it’s a vomit comet. And I love rollercoasters.

The sad thing is the actual drivetrain is excellent. They are just outfitted by people who hate drivers — horrible UX, mediocre cabin. Gratuitously different but worse.

Every time I rent a Tesla I find new things to hate about it. Glad I saved $100k.

@octal I think this is the right line of thinking for what might be going on here.

I wonder if Trump would drop the Canada tariffs (and 4x the Mexican ones) if Trudeau resigned immediately.

@NaveenGRao Is there possibly also a flawed understanding of what may actually be going on here?

What's become clear after $NVDA dropped 18% on the news of the Deepseek model learning on less compute is that every public investor had the flawed thesis of moar compute = moar smart. AI advances come in fits and starts. It's not one single parameter scaling that will crack the code of intelligence. Humans don't have the largest brains in the animal kingdom; and small brains (mouse brain runs on 0.8 W of energy) allow causal reasoning just fine. We have a ways to go...

@thegenesisbl0ck Have more children (by getting railed more while fertile), approx 50% chance each time, so you can get arbitrarily close to 100% chance.

@octal So far my Bluetti has been solid. Use it for the go kart trailer and it always has more power than I need, and basically runs off the single solar panel unit when in use. 1 year in.

Wow, $379 for a DJI 1000 (1000 Wh, 2KW solar generator with extra features for charging drones.). Slightly prefer the Anker c1000 and bluetti and ecopower for general use but these are great for drones and at this price amazing. a.co/d/9c2T9vU

@octal I don’t understand how gas powered leaf blowers aren’t being banned in cities everywhere. The battery ones are great and quite quiet now.

Goal for (2026): own enough land (with a tent, or under construction house, or maybe even quickly built or refurbished house) to not hear anyone else's fucking gas-powered leaf blowers. Sigh.

@octal I think the biggest issue is that he is very good about certain things, but he strays from those things on the same platform, hence implying he is good at or knowledgeable about other things. Which he is not.

Pretty LOL how wrong Zeihan was (and how confident he was) about US politics. I wonder if this is a sign of overall quality of his analyses; he does seem wrong on a lot of stuff about China too, just very confidently wrong.

@octal Marina Bay Area is somewhat frustrating and confusing during this period but the race event is so worth it. Also the locals are confused every year despite the same situation repeating. It’s a bit strange in that regard.

Singapore is much nicer without the new racewalls. Fortunately temporary.
