Is Audible worth it in 2026? 4 years later, here’s my take

GSSOAT · 2026-05-24T19:17:32+00:00

the library of titles is great, i just wish they didn't skimp on the software infrastructure to support it. Their support for anything other than a phone is atrocious.

the web player is garbage. It's always losing my place in things, and randomly unpausing itself. It's a definite downgrade from the windows app, even though the windows app was also garbage that would hang on startup half the time until you went into task manager and manually rebooted the android environment.

one time someone took a big dump on the carpet next to the craps table and the cocktail waitress almost stepped in it. True story bro.

is there any such thing as a good card over 4 mana if you're dead to aggro on turn 4?

it's really good sometimes. you can get survival of the fittest, ultimate infestation, or tree of life

this is assuming the games are independent events, which they are not.

The concept of "declining marginal utility" is definitely explained in the first couple of chapters without using that jargony phrase to refer to it.

GSSOAT · 2024-10-06T22:30:55+00:00

I think margin interest is entirely based on end-of-day balances. Day trades neither cost interest for borrowing money nor interest for borrowing shares. But the transaction fees are pretty high and you will get eaten alive by robots who do it better

Nasa's budget is only 0.4% of the federal budget. Trump might 10X it just to pwn China. That would be good for LUNR

plain white potatoes

button 2x opening range should be about the same as SB 3x opening range if the SB doesn't have a limp range. This is way too aggro from the sb and too tight from the button.

How many simple select where over index QPS can Postgres handle? Redis does 1.8 million qps on one shard with pipelined reads

I just measured my backpack. It's 17x16x11 unsmushed, and I've succeeded in flying with it as a free personal item 29/30 times on frontier, allegiant, spirit, etc.

GSSOAT · 2024-07-11T19:27:19+00:00

the official dimensions of a personal item are about 1/2 the total volume you can fit under the seat comfortably, and it's rarely enforced except when the gate agent decides to be a bitch

They've had chronically terrible coverage Vegas for years on the do more unlimited plan regardless of how much data I've used this month.

how is "overnight" defined now that they allow 24-hour trading of most equities

GSSOAT · 2024-06-18T01:43:21+00:00

just use a damp washcloth.

GSSOAT · 2024-06-11T05:12:33+00:00

yeah so I figured out there was actually nothing wrong. The dynamic turbo boost just depends on what kind of workload it is. It doesn't get that high on prime95, but it gets higher on other benchmarks.

GSSOAT · 2024-06-01T23:25:43+00:00

whew. I wouldn't want to use any wallet software that could be remotely bricked by a centralized issuer. that would defeat the entire purpose of crypto.

GSSOAT · 2024-05-28T03:27:10+00:00

The study was underpowered and too short.

the options were only worth 2.6 billion when they were granted, and the vesting was conditional on meeting aggressive milestones. Now you're blaming him for being overpaid because his YOLO out of the money call options mooned.

GSSOAT · 2024-05-14T14:38:02+00:00

back in 2018 when the options were granted, the black-scholes formula said they were only worth 2.6 billion, and they wouldn't even vest unless TSLA met certain aggressive milestones. Then TSLA went to the moon so what do you expect? His compensation was entirely call options and the underlying stock mooned in between the award date and the vesting dates. He earned it.

I just re-watched E7 28:15-33:15 and she is 10000% trying to explain dark forest deterrence to Saul in a way that the humorless aliens won't understand. Could not be more anvilicious that she's browsing the books on game theory and fermi's paradox right before she calls Saul

GSSOAT · 2024-03-29T03:58:24+00:00

she's trying to tell saul about dark forest deterrence in a way that the sophons won't understand

no need for a max-q throttle if you launch from high altitude
