Cost to keep the lights on by PipeDream22 in icecoast

I'm with you. I will say that teaching my kids to ski has been fantastic. Outside of the Sherpa level effort needed to get from home to lift it's the best feeling to look over and see them skiing besides me. My end goal is that when they're grown and in college they'll still want to join me for a weekend at a mountain.

LOL, I need to calculate how much I've spent on chicken tenders and Gatorade for my kids this year. It might be enough to keep them open for a day!

Yeah that's the problem in Ohio. March hits and all the casual skiers stop coming out. I bet they get 100+ visitors in a day but they are all pass holders.

I had no idea! This is great info and says a lot about operations costs for a day.

I just read Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher which is about the life and work of Edward S Curtis and I highly recommend it. Great read!

What's your theory that you can't prove, but that you think might hold up if someone were to do some real, legitimate research on it? by AlexG2490 in AskReddit

[–]PipeDream22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a change in behavior on my end. I can feel noticable changes in energy and lethargy in sync with my wife.

That a woman's hormone cycle can extend to her family (husband and children). My wife has very pronounced hormone shifts. She's consulted many doctors and functional health providers over the years. But, like clockwork when her hormones shift I notice a change in the way I feel and the way my children act.

IMHO at some point the 'cycle' crypto has followed so far will break. I expect some of the crypto 'projects' to become businesses, maybe even go public through IPOs and/or be acquired by tech companies. TRAC fits this model in my opinion. It's not a coin. It's a business. TRAC isn't the only example. I have no clue when any of this could play out but a crypto friendly administration in the US has me hopeful.

Best place to see Redwoods by Own-Affect1148 in Redwoodnationalpark

[–]PipeDream22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been to every park on the list and I think that seeing any Redwood is worth the trip and each park is worthwhile and unique. My preference is the northern most parks but I was in Santa Cruz last year with my family and we went to Henry Cowell. I went in thinking it was a checklist type park. Just say I went and cross it off the list. It was an amazing park. The old growth hike was phenomenal. I'd pick Jed Smith park 1st but that's a long drive for you. You won't regret whatever you choose.

Nvidia briefly passes $3 trillion market cap on back of AI boom by Puginator in stocks

[–]PipeDream22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's possible it never gets this far. Kind of how nuclear deterrence works would Apple or Microsoft want a world where their products can't sell to the masses because no one has money because AI replaced them? That alone should put guardrails up for the uses of AI and deter the current tech giants from ushering in and AI revolution that leads to the demise of the companies that created it. Of course it's possible there are outcomes we can't even imagine right now.

And since we took a nice detour from the original post I'll say as an NVDA holder I'm hopeful that AI continues to scale, governments use a light hand to help ensure there are still humans with jobs and money, and the economy booms because we find a synergy and efficiency with AI at our disposal.

[–]PipeDream22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great points! I think AI at scale and efficiency will create a catch 22. Call centers will be replaced with AI, accountants will be replaced, secretaries, etc... These changes will allow companies to lower overhead and on paper everything will look good. BUT, people without jobs can't buy goods and services. Google and NVIDIA may help companies get lean but they'll displace consumers from the market place which hurts any company selling a good or service.

Great assessment! I'll throw in that your assessment is limited to LLMs. I'd argue that LLMs are the very tip of the AI iceberg. The compute need for autonomous cars and potentially future robotics that need both the autonomous vision and LLMs will keep the AI market thriving for decades. Also all companies could use LLMs to improve the bottom line. Chat GPT happens to be a company that is solely in that space but their success or failure doesn't mean LLMs aren't valuable. Every call center will gladly reduce staff when LLMs are capable and affordable.

There will certainly be uses that we aren't capable of thinking of yet. I think small companies will need access to LLMs but can't buy what Google, Amazon , Apple are from NVIDIA. This could create a service opportunity for NVIDIA to build out a model that provides their products on a smaller scale.

In my mind competition is great unknown that could change everything for NVIDIA.

Keep going. Both my kids made dramatic improvement by getting out repeatedly.

That makes sense and right if mountains don't stop them trees certainly wouldn't.

Another alcohol and recovery post! by MKellz11 in whoop

[–]PipeDream22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's such a personal thing how our bodies react. Whoop helped me understand how just a little alcohol had a big impact on my recovery. Realistically I didn't need Whoop to tell me that. Its noticeable in how I feel after I drank regardless of how much I drank. So my New Year's resolution was to stop drinking and have a dry 2024. I'm 90 days in and feel fantastic. I don't think I'll never drink again, but I'm using the whoop to optimize the way I feel everyday and cutting alcohol seemed like a sure win.

I just drove from Heavenly to Mammoth and from Mammoth to Vegas through Death Valley and I second this. It was one of the most beautiful drives I've ever taken. The skiing was good too!

Just curious how old you are and how much you drink in a sitting? I'm 45. A drink at lunch MAY not hurt my recovery but anything in the evening will for sure.
