And what counts as a release these days is just some remaster of a game that was popular a decade or two ago.

Cancer is something Boomers fear because many of them will die from it. Climate change isn’t anything they have to really worry about because they left it for their kids to deal with.

It’s called Kagi Assistant. You can choose any model. For premium models, you need to upgrade.

They do offer access to ALL the LLMs. You could pay $20 to OpenAI for ChatGPT 5, or you could pay $25 to Kagi for unlimited Kagi search and access to premium models for ChatGPT, Claude, Google, Mistral, Kimi, and others.

- Comment on How much money should one person realistically make or have? 1 week ago:
$5 million is the threshold where you start to not need to work full time if you’re not old age. Like, you can basically have 40 working years of your life back and not sacrifice on milestones like owing a home, having a family, security in your elder years, and a comfortable life…

Yeah, I know. I’m saying the new price is unaffordable for the salary required to afford it.

So, I do happen to know that they made some changes to the houses including building a full size basketball court two levels underground. However, making $665,000 is not enough to afford an $5million dollar house.
- Comment on If WW3 breaks out, who is going to be on which side? 3 weeks ago:
Canada, Europe, Ukraine vs Russia and Belarus
America, Japan, Taiwan vs China and North Korea.
Israel will use the opportunity to fully genocide Palestine, expand into Lebanon and Syria sparking a regional conflict there.
India vs. Pakistan
In practice, some countries will lose rapidly once the nukes fly and a lot of people will die.

Valve would build a compatibility layer and likely try to provide some incentive for game developers to provide ARM versions of their games.

- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 1 month ago:
I personally didn’t love the atmosphere of this game. Didn’t feel very doom like. The gameplay mechanics are also different, but I got used to them. The game is turning more and more into a rhythm game like DDR or Guitar hero where you need to do the right attack at the right time depending on what enemy you’re dealing with.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 1 month ago:
Took me awhile to get into it. I did eventually finish it. My criticism of the game was more that the dungeons aren’t really all that challenging and are mostly just places where the story advances. Not many puzzles or fights. You just do your fighting out in the open world. Also, eventually the fights are easy as you learn how to fight each type. Eventually you just avoid confrontations because they’re just time consuming.

Also, what’s up with Brits and Europeans eating baked beans for breakfast. Beans are not appetizing as a breakfast food.

- Comment on Why Japan's internet is weirdly designed 2 months ago:
Pretty sure that’s why they have it. It’s to courtesy so you don’t hear bathroom noises.
- Comment on Why Japan's internet is weirdly designed 2 months ago:
Yea, visiting Japan does feel like they are stuck in a retro vision of the future where everything by was going to be driven by buttons. There are buttons everywhere, including at your table in a restaurant and on every toilet too. The toilets even have heated seats, bidets, and play music, all driven by buttons. They also have vending machines everywhere, which are covered in buttons. Ordering ramen at a restaurant? Make sure you tap all the buttons at the machine in the front to make your order.
They still haven’t quite adopted the touch screen fully.

- Comment on A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over? 3 months ago:
Part of this is related to how the 2017 tax law changed how companies can write off the costs of software development. Those rules didn’t kick in until 2022, which is when things started to get messy for the tech industry.
cooley.com/…/2023-09-25-irs-publishes-guidance-on…
As I understand it, the rule reverted in the most recent tax bill this year. Of course, that will take some time to kick in. We are also in a recession, which no one is acknowledging yet. So, may take some time to recover.
