@nejatian @tobi It is 100% this, they are trying to save money on the baby boomers going through their most expensive period of healthcare costs. It’s ghoulish to tax citizens their whole working life and when need care they are offered suicide instead. I am ashamed Canadians aren’t up in arms.

@tobi I know of multiple doctors who have retired instead of “treating” patients this way. They will tell you in private that this is simply a way for the government to lower the costs of medical insurance. Most evil policy in decades.

This should cause a lot more questions in Canada. My sense is that almost no one knows about this here?

@rohindhar Why do you think inventory levels are so low? Demand driven?

Last year this week there were 835 homes for sale in San Francisco This week there are 585, down 29.9%

Plot twist the prompt itself was made by an LLM

There is no such thing as bad LLM, only bad prompt engineer

@rohindhar Beautiful

Spotted a cybercab in SF

@StanleyRoberts I enjoyed more than my fair share of scrapple living in Philly 🤤

If you can tell me what this breakfast meat is without using Ai, we can absolutely be friends. 🙃🫣

Hello? Police? I’d like to report a robbery

@pitdesi You are half right. The R2 does not look great. FSD 14.2 is a game changer, it’s so good, no one else is close. The grok integration is amazing as well and it’s only going to get better. Buying any other car atm is a questionable decision.

The Rivian R2 looks great and I want one. But Tesla FSD is so far ahead of every other driver assist system that it feels irrational to buy anything else right now. Am I wrong?

Thanks past self!

Note to future self: we’re a CAT5B family.

@rqobela Pascal, ASM

Programming language you learnd but never used again is...?

@jayclouse Air was the play

I upgraded my iPhone 14 Pro Max to an iPhone 17 Pro Max a week ago. I gotta be honest, I can’t tell the difference.

@justindross @santaclaireross Congratulations!

Co-founded something amazing with @santaclaireross, I think it’s going to grow exponentially over the coming years

@JoelEngardio I’m sorry for your loss.

My mom died this week. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer less than three weeks ago. When she learned the aggressive tumor could not be treated, her wish was to not have a prolonged or painful death and to not die alone. She was able to pass quickly and it was peaceful at the very end. She asked for a back rub. “That feels nice” were her last words before she faded away. I was there for her final breath, and so was my husband Lionel. I called friends my mom had known for 50 years and held the phone to her ear. I was able to tell her everything I needed to say and she did the same. I told her she was a good mom and that I loved her very much. I’m glad we moved her from Michigan to Vacaville, California six years ago to be closer to me. She thrived in California and enjoyed having that adventure in her 70s. She met a lot of new friends in her senior apartment building and at her local congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. She accepted Lionel as a son (and as her tech support). He had the patience to teach her how to use an iPad and make Zoom calls. The day before she died, my mom told Lionel she loved him and that she was happy we had each other. My mom would have been 77 in December. She left us too soon, but I know her final years were filled with love and joy. Mary Kaye did not have the easiest life. Her father died when she was 12. My father left her when she was six months pregnant. She did her best as a single mom with a high school education. She cleaned houses for a living and brought me along as daycare. My grandmother (who was widowed at 48) supported us the best she could. Grandma only finished 9th grade and my mom decided to go to college. She waited until I was 10 and could handle being home alone (it was the free-range parenting era of the 1980s). She took night classes at the local community college — one class at a time. After 11 years, she finally received a bachelor’s degree at age 43. She stopped cleaning houses and became a social worker. She helped some of the most vulnerable and invisible people: seniors with mental health conditions. She would lead field trips to the zoo or Taco Bell to give her clients fun and exciting experiences outside their group home. My mom loved Shakespeare, mountains, and sunsets. She always had a dog to care for. She made a mean lasagne and a hearty crock pot beef stew with dumplings. Her oatmeal scotchie cookies were my favorite. It’s a comfort to have her handwritten recipes. I’ll use them to keep her memory alive.

@yatish_me From what I saw no one was interested in *reading* the Rails code never mind shipping anything in it. It isn't how you got compensated or promoted so why would you? Unsurprising outcome.

At a past company, the head of engineering and the principal engineers decided to break our Ruby on Rails application into a Go microservices mesh. They created very detailed design documents and architecture diagrams. They went all out and used Kubernetes, gRPC, service templates, the whole shebang. The whole senior engineering leadership came from Amazon, where they were used to each team owning a distinct service. They tried to apply that model directly. But our issues were with code ownership and poor domain modeling. The entire application could have run on just a handful of EC2 instances. What was the result? Five years later, 70% of the application is still running on the Ruby on Rails monolith. Never completed the migration. But now they have to maintain two systems. None of the original leadership works there anymore.

@FrameworkPuter @a16z Shoot your shot!

Hey @a16z ... if my post gets 10k likes, can you guys send me a semi beast mode term sheet? I'd pitch you for one, but I'm busy atm & my current bank account is complete ass for my workflow.

@levelsio Pretty sure the AI is right, you can’t run the 6400 xmp setup on a 4 dim package that wasn’t a set. Assuming that’s your sick gaming rig you are going to kneecap it running 4 dims underclocked. Treat yourself and buy a larger ram kit (you’re worth it).

Anyone know why GPU PC won't boot, just goes max fan and no video: I just upgraded 2x 32GB Corsair Vengeance sticks and added to 2 more, so 4x They're DDR5 6400MHz 64GB 2x32GB CL32 RAM Motherboard is ASUS ROG STRIX X870E-E GAMING WIFI ChatGPT says it's cause it can't handle 4x RAM sticks at 6400MHz? So you gotta push the MHz down in BIOS? But also sounds like it's hallucinating
