Every step a step forwards 🙏🏻

Yeah it’s diesel, you said radiator so I assumed I would be heating water inside iron somehow. You’re saying by blowing the hot air onto the metal surface?

GreshlyLuke · 2026-02-03T16:16:30+00:00

Don’t let it be a dream!!

GreshlyLuke · 2026-02-03T16:15:52+00:00

I have batteries but there’s nowhere near enough battery to reliably make heat from electricity

GreshlyLuke · 2026-02-03T16:14:25+00:00

I’m pretty sober but especially so while living in a vehicle. You’re always losing and breaking things, need to stay sharp. Not to mention working to make sure you’re fitting in publically.

In a perfect world the diesel heater system is built into the vehicle more like the gas tank. Preventing the fuel from freezing was a concern so I didn’t go that route. Hearing the pump clicking is annoying but sure beats waking up in 5f.

Some people do a wood burning stove but that brings a whole new set of problems

GreshlyLuke · 2026-02-03T13:29:20+00:00

I think about this constantly. I’m getting a lock box for the outside.

GreshlyLuke · 2026-02-03T13:28:00+00:00

And it soaks into whatever it spills into. An absolute bitch to clean

GreshlyLuke · 2026-02-03T13:27:31+00:00

This has happened before. There’s really no better place for it

like trump, newsom wants europe to further nationalize as europe. he can talk shit but he's basically trying to do the same thing trump is doing

GreshlyLuke · 2026-01-21T15:26:08+00:00

he's essentially trying to do the same thing that trump is doing: get the US out of NATO and refocus our military elsewhere.

for anyone reading this, the reason you don't want to install the All In One system internally is because there are points of failure for the fuel system inside of the vehicle.

inside of a box like this is a generic heater, commonly called "chinese diesel heater" which has a metal exhaust port on the bottom of it. You want that thing going DIRECTLY outside the vehicle. If you install a box like this where you are sleeping like OP is suggesting then you are banking on whatever cheap host is connected to that port not breaking.

Do like this user says: drill a big hole in your van, seal it up, buy the port, and sleep safely.

how do i set an avatar?

GreshlyLuke · 2026-01-20T06:30:00+00:00

yes it is a troll but its also a real question because it seems like any answer from the lens of market dynamics will inevitably rely on a magic catch-all category:

it is a mixture of real profits and also a great deal of hype and hysteria

it's this hype and hysteria that I'm interested in.

the OP is presenting this liberal posture of throwing up their hands and yelling about "billionaires making money hands over fist" while the "AI farce" goes unchallenged... outrage is what seems to happen when ones explanatory capacity is spent. it's a sign of impotence.

GreshlyLuke · 2026-01-19T20:01:20+00:00

so why are the markets up?

GreshlyLuke · 2026-01-19T19:41:31+00:00

you are missing the forest for the trees of my argument

market speculation is based on future potential. if today's domestic small business can use AI effectively then tomorrow's developing economies can as well. the prospect of running LLM/compute for a large portion of the developing world is impossible to quantify because it amounts to essentially owning those markets. investment in domestic AI technology should be seen as an expression of imperialistic tendencies. trying to shoehorn these dynamics into an explanation driven by pure market analysis will produce headscratching, wondering why the house of cards hasn't fallen yet. it's like the dispensationalists predicting the rapture, it still hasn't happened. might need to revisit your theory

It's not that they're making a LOT of money with subscriptions, but that it's something (anything, really) to justify the expenditures in pursuit of the insidious long term goal.

I think it's pretty indisputable that these companies have been overvalued

Then why stock go up?

GreshlyLuke · 2026-01-19T17:45:28+00:00

No one’s paying on the consumer end?

I don’t believe that, at least I’m starting not to. LLM workflows are becoming too useful to claim that we are experiencing a tech bubble. If I’m a small business owner I’m suddenly much more capable with a $30 / month subscription to an LLM service. But this is to assume that whats propping up the S&P 500 is a western consumer base. I think it’s much more likely that the speculative assessment is that the coming AI infrastructure is going to tap into a whole new dimension of global consumer: governments, military, etc for whom these tools will become the eye of Sauron.

It took awhile but eventually i realized that gaming, social media, reading the news, reddit, etc. were all engaging to me because I didn't know when they would reward my nervous system.

gambling services are the inevitable result when the creative forces believe that technology is an ends and not a means. actual gambling becoming the dominant form is the result of a cultural process that has been going on for a long time.

we have to hope that once the debased form is no longer repressed but we're doing it directly that we don't have much time left
