How old money works:

1. OpenAI signs $300B GPU deal with Oracle and they don’t have that kind of money
2. Larry gains $100B (no GPUs shipped) from stock gains
3. Larry invests in OpenAI’s $1T round
4. Sam uses $300B to pay Oracle
5. Oracle stock pumps again on the news of OoenAI deal. Investors rushed and stock prices went up
6. Larry makes another $100B
7. Larry invests in OpenAI

Me: there is absolutely no bubble around 🤣

@siracusa I can't speak to the ORA, but I'm quite happy with my Kanto YU2 + SUB8V. Small footprint, no branding, sounds decent. As a bonus, my sub is connected to a HomeKit smart plug that automatically turns off the bass when I'm up early/late and my wife is sleeping.

@atpfm I wonder if the C1 is unusually sensitive to magnetic interference, and dropping MagSafe was necessary to get it out the door.

"People don’t cheer for chaos when they feel like justice is possible. But right now, what options do they have? The Supreme Court is corrupt, voting feels useless, and the people in power are funded by the very corporations they’re supposed to regulate. Of course, Mangione gets turned into a meme hero—it’s not him they love; it’s the idea of someone finally fighting back" https://www.thegodpodcast.com/p/those-who-make-peaceful-revolution

My friend who makes amazing doughnuts moved to LA and she has a few pop-ups coming up. So if you’re in LA, you should def swing by. (She’s obsessed with quality and does “extra mile” things like make her own sprinkles.)

Huh. Who would've thought the guy caught on camera eating the sock lint from between his toes would turn out to be such a fucking creep?

@jakesutton @mathowie Got my shingles shot in July. Felt like ass for a couple of days, more or less in line with what i saw with my first Moderna shot. Not great, but hoo boy, way better than some of the shingles horror stories I’ve heard.

@mathowie Yup! The HomeKit Bridge integration lets you selectively pass through specific devices or classes of devices to HomeKit. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/homekit/

That said, I’ve found HA automations to be much more flexible and reliable. I’ve been gradually porting mine over.

@mathowie @nicholashead Since switching back to HA a few months ago, I’ve had zero reliability issues. Highly, highly recommended.

The Forged Apple Employee Badge
