Always been amazed this song doesn’t get used for Rickrolling during the last two months of each year. It’s a systemic failure.

Watched a video years ago of someone doing this before re-seasoning and baking the pan in the oven.
The end result was actually pretty fabulous.
- Comment on Just opened a new jar of jam, only to find mold in it. 2 weeks ago:
I was told by a food research lab you could scoop off the top layer (oxygenated) and consume the rest of jams and sauces.
I’m not sure I believe them. They were growing large quantities of insects in a smelly, dank room for protein.

- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Way back when, MSFT would set up developer meetups and give everyone who showed up a free Windows phone for development. I still have a couple in a box somewhere. People would take them, but nobody wanted to make apps. Everybody was busy enough with iOS and Android.
MSFT even tried to pay companies to port their popular apps to Windows. A few took the money and did the port, but nobody wanted to support it.
Samsung was also trying to get people to write apps for their watches. Same issue. It’s really hard to break in if you’re entering an already crowded market.

- Comment on I ain't risking shit 4 weeks ago:
I was in an Apple Store for a Genius Bar appointment when these two guys with hoodies and COVID masks walked in and started pulling phones off the displays and stuffing them into backpacks.
It took less than a minute and then they ran off. The security guard just stood to the side and recorded a video. Once they were gone, everyone just went back to what they were doing, like nothing had happened.
Afterward, I asked the Genius Bar guy if that happened often. He said the two guys hadn’t gotten much because they hadn’t refilled the display from a guy coming in and stealing all the phones literally the day before!
The phones were tracked and the cops eventually caught the two dudes as well as the other solo guy.

Oy, no tittering in the back.
- Comment on In which ways the dot com craze of the late 90s and the current AI market differ? In which ways are the same phenomena? 1 month ago:
The unbridled enthusiasm is the same.
In the dotcom era, I had friends working at e-commerce startups selling items you could easily find at a store. They even had to buy from the same wholesale suppliers, and try to undersell retail, even though they had additional shipping cost (offset a little by not having to pay local sales tax). So they ate the losses because VCs told them they had to show the only metric was positive customer growth (not profit). All business ideas were “add e-commerce to X.”
In the 2008 crash, even though it was triggered by real-estate debt, a lot of the same tech dynamics were at play, except “add mobile to X.”
A lot of present day AI companies are following the same path. “Add AI to X.”
What’s different this time is that there’s a lot more hardware involved, in the form of GPU and data center expansion. After dotcom, we were left over with a lot of fiber, telco, and home internet expansion which was still usable. This time, it’s not clear what the data centers will be good for if AI crashes out. Maybe crypto-mining.

In scriptwriting, they always tell people to ‘Up the Stakes!’
When Crypto and NFTs went bust, everyone jumped on the AI bandwagon and upped the stakes. All you need is the next big, existential thing that ups the stakes even more.
- Climate
- Energy
- Food
- Disease
- War
- Worldwide annihilation
Come on! You gotta pump up the stakes.

Pain vraiment complet.
- Comment on Which career to pursue? 1 month ago:
A lot here. I have two suggestions:
- Create, then
- Share
Channel everything you want to do and is rattling around your brain into creation. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Nothing is. Get feedback from people you trust, then push them out without caring if anyone looks at it or reacts.
And keep learning. Especially things outside your comfort zone.
Eventually you’ll figure it out.
