If you think driving EVs are bad, wait til you hear about internal combustion engine vehicles!

Can confirm Jevons Paradox. But in a more environmentally friendly way.

Just took my house onto off-grid solar, yet my energy consumption now exceeds when I was on utility grid power.

Naturally we ration things when they're expensive. But now I don't feel the need to turn off the lights or appliances when I leave my home, and my EV driving has gone up knowing that "fuel" is essentially free from here on out. And to soak up excess solar, I run multiple computers and servers 24/7 with reckless abandon.

GitLab will eventually just get overran with 24/7 agents spewing from their AI Slop Cannons

Popular opinion is at a fever pitch, but many municipalities have put in moratoriums that expire a few days or weeks after the election.

This isn't going anywhere.

Pretty privilege exists.

You can get a 16kWh LFP battery for $2-3k USD.

All those devs need to get together and form their own studio, and then sell it back to Microsoft for $83 billion.

Oh wait...

GamePass has awful choices of game, save or one two. Nobody wants to pay $35 a month for games (that sporadically disappear) which can be purchased outright at full retail price for $70.

Isn't this how most NPM authors are hacked these days? I think the axios guy got hit with the same approach over LinkedIn.

Codex GPT-5.5 Xtra high is as good as Fable.

Not sure if that's because of the harness, but the results are as good, and it's half the price.

Because most people aren't good at training the juniors.

I'm making a WebAssembly clone of this fantastic game. Stay tuned...

you removed the "spacebar" functionality

US can pull out and probably should.

The impetus for the blockade on the Strait goes away when the US pulls out. Even the UAE said as much as which is why they are currently trying to pass a UN Security Council Resolution stating as much and get the RoW to show enough teeth to get Iran to back down.

Fortunately, China just decided to fire most of their military leadership and replaced them with inexperienced, but loyal grunts.

Isn't this how "I Am Legend" started?

The cost of juniors have dropped enough where it's viable now.

You can get decent grads from good schools for $65k.

To your point, I think there are 3 main categories:

1. Too big to fail (SalesForce, ServiceNow, ServiceTitan, Shopify). They’re targeting megacorps’ core business operations. Switching costs are too high. They will survive,

2. B2B non-core (PagerDuty, Vanta, Monday, Atlassian). They’re going to have stiff competition and most here will fail or merge/consolidate. They have the most to lose because they’re non-core to a business’s success and pricing pressures will cause many of them will be easily vibecoded with enough time. The large TAM here will attract hundreds of competitors each.

3. Consumer SaaS (Notion, Canva, Grammarly, Dribbble). They're good as dead and can be buried.

The real story isn't that some enterprise mega corp is going to vibe-code their own Workday.

The real story is that SOME startups made up of one person (or small number of engineers) will do it, and create pricing pressures against Workday, or DocuSign, or other B2B SaaS.

Powell is only the chair, there's still 11 other goons on the board that votes to set policy.

He's sending a message to the NEXT Fed Reserve Chair.

Not sure if this is the first state. Many other states have state-only-accredited law school programs.

It's a capacitor, not a battery.

They mostly only work on pre-mapped highways. They're also not commercially available.

There's currently no other DA other than Tesla's FSD available in the US that will work on city streets and highways.

I think WebAssembly could become that sandboxed solution. .NET Blazor WASM is moving away from mono to CoreCLR (just like Unity, with an early preview in late 2026). WASM now has really good SIMD support, native GC, large memory support, and with WebGPU we could finally see some native WASM games running at native speeds.

Simply not true, this info is outdated by a decade.

CoreCLR NativeAOT is already shipping real games on Nintendo, PS5, and Xbox.

JIT isn't allowed on iPhones either, and this is what NativeAOT solves. Also, .NET is moving WASM support to CoreCLR (rather than mono) in an upcoming version as well.

I'm seeing that in the GRC industry where SaaS companies are getting churned out by an internal IT guy who automated their "Excel" as a database.

It was common in the early 2000s for big companies to have large internal IT teams to build "line of business" apps. Then SaaS came along and delivered LoB apps for a fraction of the price and with a monthly subscription.

Looks like we're headed back to the internal IT days of building customized LoB apps.

I think you're basing AI only on modern 2025 LLMs.

If there is a magnitude increase in compute (TPUs, NPUs, etc) over the next 3-5 years then even marginal increases in LLM usability will take white collar jobs.

If there is an exponential increase in power (fusion) and compute (quantum) combined with improvements in robotics and you're in the territory where humans can entirely be replaced in all industries (blue collar, white collar, doctors, lawyers, etc).

You’re right, upon further review you can get budget Lifepo4 batteries shipped to your door from Amazon for as low as $75/kwh, which includes cables, a BMS, and various Bluetooth connectivity. So $65/kwh seems fairly reasonable for raw battery capacity in very large quantities.

But now it’s time to better understand why a Powerwall or other wall-mounted units are so much more expensive. I understand UL-listing costs, marketing, warranty, and other things are thrown in, but it’s $75/kwh versus $1000/kwh, a 13x difference.

If even at a $100/kwh price point all homeowners need to get 10-20kwh in batteries just to help peak shave the grid and save tons of money since batteries will be a fraction of the cost of grid power.
